16 Beautiful Stocking Stuffer Ideas
As the saying goes: If you want something done right, do it yourself. Here's what I'll be stuffing my (and my husband's) stockings with this year. Which beauty product picks will you add to your list?
Korres Beauty Shots, $36
Four mini facial masks with active fruit ingredients will get your skin glowing. The nectarine version moisturizes while the watermelon cools, grapefruit brightens and cranberry firms and lifts.
Kiehl's Soothing Essentials Duo, $18
Perfect for you, or your other half, this duo contains two of my all-time favorite products from Kiehl's. The Lip Balm #1 and the Ultimate Strength Hand Salve.
By Terry Baume de Rose Colour Collection, $89
I pretty much love everything from By Terry. I'm a sucker for anything infused with rose. So this ready-to-gift set of five tinted baumes is a must-have. (more…)
5 New Beauty Hacks I Picked up This Week
Thanks to award season, I have lots of (even more) reasons to talk to celebrity hairstylists, makeup artists and manicurists. They're seriously a never-ending source of great beauty tips and tricks, which makes since because they literally live and breathe beauty. They also find themselves in tricky situations that force them to be very resourceful, MacGyver types. Their hacks turn into great tips for us non beauty gurus. Here are five handy tricks I learned the past couple of weeks that I thought were worth passing along:
Trick #1: Ditch puff in a pinch
If you wake up with majorly puffy eyes, grab a couple of cold soda cans and hold them on the puff for a couple of minutes. Makeup artist Jake Bailey says it's his go-to trick when he's in a pinch and says it works every time.
Trick #2: Set your curls up for success
If you think your hair doesn't hold curl, you might just be setting it up for failure, according to hairstylist Charles Baker Strahan. Straight out of the shower, you should avoid brushing it straight and blow-drying it straight before curling. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, and then diffuse hair to bring out any natural texture you may have. This will help your curl take and last. Oh, and prep hair with a volumizing mousse to start. Try Herbal Essences Naked Volumizing Souffle, $6.99.
Trick #3: Elongate your nails
Use a nude nail polish that's a touch lighter than your skin tone to really elongate your fingers and nails. It does the same thing a stiletto does for your legs, says manicurist Tom Bachik. Try: Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Fashion, $17 or L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Collection Privee in Eva's Nude, $5.99.
Trick #4: Go for the glass
Foundations in glass bottles last much longer than those in plastic. Keep it in the fridge and it'll last up to five years, according to Bailey.
Trick #5: Make sure your guy is camera ready
Listen up guys (or gals with guys) – makeup artist Billy B says that the L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Miracle Blur, $24.99 product is the "biggest breakthrough for men in cosmetics". It's a no-makeup way to perfect skin. It does what the blur tool in Photoshop is designed for. A great way to make sure your guy is camera ready for a big event without having to torture him by powdering his nose with your makeup.
Grooming 411: Quick Ways To Get Your Man's Nails In Shape — Just Don't Call It A Manicure.
Most guys I know wouldn't be caught dead getting their nails done at a spa. But buffed and filed nails look really nice on a man — especially compared to the dirty, scraggly nails I spot on some guys. Nails and cuticles get dry when guys do things like pull their hands in and out of their jeans, like my husband does a thousand times a day. And that's just the least of it. As the weather cools, it's a good time to suggest a little hand grooming to keep them looking healthy. Backstage at the J. Lindeberg spring 2013 show, the male models had their hands quickly, and magically transformed by Katie Hughes, global color ambassador for Butter London. She offered a few quick tricks you can suggest to your guy:
Tip 1: Cut nails short and mimic the shape of his cuticle line — that will make them look natural. Then have him buff the free edge to take away roughness and hard edges.
Tip 2: Don't touch the cuticle. "The more cuticles are cut, the thicker they grow back," says Hughes, so your man should avoid messing with them if he can. If the cuticle bothers him, Hughes recommends just gently pushing them back with his thumb nail.
Tip 3: Moisturize. Hook him up with a cuticle oil, like Butter London Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil, $18 to use around the nail bed as a moisturizer when hands and cuticles are dry, suggests Hughes. It's a good habit to apply right before bed to make sure nails look nice and supple by morning.
Does the guy in your life get manicures?

Beauty Problem Solver Of The Week: Soapwalla Deodorant Cream
I flip-flop back and forth between being a total deodorant connoisseur and not wearing any at all. Lately, I've been back on the hunt in a serious way. I've been searching every tiny apothecary and local beauty boutique in New York for something new and different of the all-natural, non-antiperspirant variety — one that actually works. I'm happy to report that I found a true winner. Soapwalla Deodorant Cream, $12 is my new favorite deodorant in the whole world. I actually found this Brooklyn-based deodorant on Etsy, of all places, and realized it's getting a lot of buzz in elite organic beauty circles. This vegan, clay-based cream uses superfine vegetable powders, along with lavender, peppermint and tea tree essential oils to absorb moisture, inhibit bacteria and ensure you stay dry and smell fresh all day. And it really works. Do you use all natural deodorants or do you stick to the hard stuff?

Grooming 411: Sunscreen Alert
Even though he tans at the drop of a hat, my husband Dave is a sunscreen convert — I got him to change over years ago, mostly because I burn so easily, the only thing I would allow in our house was SPF 50. But he's not the norm. A new survey by The Skin Cancer Foundation reveals that nearly half of men in the US admit to not using sunscreen in the last 12 months and 70 percent of men don't even know what skin cancer warning signs to look for. So all those dudes spending Saturday and Sunday on the golf course? Um, that's scary. If the man in your life (hubby, boyfriend, dad, brother, friend, co-worker, you get the point) isn't wearing sunscreen, you are the biggest influence so make sure he knows what's what. So share the wealth about how important it is to cover up. For more sunscreen facts, check out What You Should Know About Sunscreen Before Slathering It On. And here are three guy-friendly sunscreens we recommend:
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55 sunscreen, $9
Banana Boat Sport Performance UltraMist Sunscreen SPF 110, $11
L'Oreal Men's Expert Comfort Max Anti-Irritation After Shave Balm with SPF 15, $8

Grooming 411: Miracle Gel for an Achy Neck
The husband came home after a long day (actually, after multiple long days) at the office with tightness and serious pain in his trapezius muscle (likely caused by hunching over at his desk). I suggested he rub some Tiger Balm on it, but then remembered I had something in my medicine cabinet that might be even better. Or it at the very least wouldn't stain his clothes since it's lighter in color. The product: China-Gel, $15.95. It contains menthol, camphor, ginseng, angelica, lavender oil, witch hazel and aloe vera, and when massaged into skin, it's meant to help soothe aches and pains with a icy-hot feeling. Here's what the hubby says about it:
- "It's stronger than Bengay, and it smelled good."
- "It rubbed in easy."
- "The coolness (that's also hot) intensified after I put my shirt on over it."
- "Because it's strong, you become more conscience of the rub than the pain."
- "It's similar to Tiger Balm, but rubbed in easier and is lighter in color."
- "It soothed the pain enough that I forgot about it, and after using it for two days, the pain was gone."
The company says it can be used on a multitude of things from muscle pain to headaches and insect bites, so I think we'll be ordering another tub of this hard-working rub.
Grooming 411: Daily Face Moisturizer Worth Trying
Today we're kicking off a new column — one that my hubby Justin will contribute to from time to time when he tries a grooming product worth sharing or when he has a question that I think other dudes out there will care to know the answer to.
What he wanted to talk about today, through me, since he wouldn't dare write this up himself, is the Ahava Men Age Control Moisturizing Cream SPF 15, $32.
Here's why he can't stop talking about this face-protecting moisturizer, which he's been using for about a month:
- "It rubs in very easily after I shave in the morning without any stinging sensation even though it has SPF."
- "I get my sun protection for the day."
- "It has an awesome scent that isn't overpowering. It's a fresh scent that sticks with me … and the wife digs it." [Note from the wife: The scent is fresh and a bit peppery/spicy. Very sexy, but in a subtle way.]
- "It doesn't take up much space in my drawer. And, it's light for traveling, which is huge."
- "The pump doesn't clog like a lot of others do after a few days of not being used."
- "You never have to pump it more than once for the product to come out."
- "One pump is the amount you need for your entire face."
Bottom line: "There's nothing not to like. It's kick ass."
Full disclosure: The company provided a sample of this product for us to test. See the complete disclosure policy here.

Jay Gardner's, the owner Gardner Photography, experience includes over 10 years of shooting news & weddings. He is creative, talented & flexible.Visit www.gardnerphotography.net to see a sample of our work & let our photos tell your story.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
I love how Jay captured expression on my husband's face when he first saw me walking down the isle, and our first dance, and father daughter dance! and then there was a shot of my parents watching us dance! I did not see it during the wedding, but thanks to Jay I have a memory of a moment I mised!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Funny thing, I didn't see either of them during the ceremony, but we have pictures taken from so many different angles! How did they do it? Beats me! But they were all dressed up and looked like the rest of the guests. We had about 2 hours for formal pictures, no list, but I trusted Jay, I knew he I made right choice after I saw my engagement pictures.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
We had 2 photographers, Jay and his wife and they worked so hard. All our pictuers were poested on their website while we were on our honeymoon We received all our pictures on DVDs without watermarks. There were about 1,200 of them. And a beautiful box is a very nice touch. Our package also included 3 albums.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Jay is really easy going, he actually let my friends and family take pictures he posed. And I see why, their pictures were nothing like Jay's! so everyone was happy and we all had fun!

Picture: A- Sound: A+ Extras: D Film: C
After the success of The
Matrix, there were many attempts to outdo, outsmart, and outlast it. There were films by the dozen attempting to
ride the wave of its visual style, advanced time shifting, stop-motion camera,
and many other gimmicky devices. While
most find The Matrix annoying after awhile, it is hard to resist the
fact that it has had a huge impact on filmmaking for TV, commercials, and other
feature films. Whether this is a good
thing or not, is yet to be determined.
At least this film did not need two sequels to flush out its narrative.
One of those pictures that
came about was Jet Li in The One, a Columbia TriStar venture into the
world of Sci-Fi action. While there may
only be 'one' Jet Li, the film contains about 123 of him. Set in the future where there are multiple
universes each person has multiples of them living in the other universes. For one individual, Lawless (evil Jet Li) he
figures out that by destroying his other selves that he becomes stronger,
essentially making him 'the one'. As
this happens each time he kills one of him, the others become stronger as the
energy is then divided among the remaining until all of them are dead, the last
one will be the strongest. Enter Jet Li
again, now playing Gabe (good guy), who must fight against Lawless in order to
save the universe(s).
While the film may not be
the most original or intellectually stimulating, it certainly has some nice
action scenes, which truly shine on this upgraded Superbit Edition of the
film. Originally the film was released
onto DVD with extras, and a Dolby 5.1 only soundtrack. Now those extras were taken away in order to
fully utilize the information on the disc for more video and audio. The inclusion of a higher bit rate DTS track
is also offered and the results are astonishing.
Both 5.1 mixes are
state-of-the-art and the film was released theatrically in Dolby, DTS, and
SDDS. There is no doubt that this film
has the sound-design worthy of showing off and what better way to do so then
with a Superbit release. Now we have
the upgraded fuller bit rate DTS, which simply makes the Dolby track sound like
a Pinto trying to race a Ferrari. The
meat and muscle lies with the DTS mix, which is literally breathtaking in its
sonic realism and dimension. There are
very few titles that come close to the range this film contains with the
aggressive low-end, crystal clear high-end, depth, and overall 360-degree
soundfield. Even the heavy metal laded
soundtrack kicks around the surround mix with accuracy and integrity.
Perhaps the only titles
that can match this film for sound would be some of the other Superbit titles
such as The Patriot, Vertical Limit, and Hollow Man, which
are all covered on this site. Other
titles might include New Line's Blade 2 (covered here as well) or Fox's Daredevil
(covered here too). Whatever the
case, the sound alone on this disc is worthy of showing off, so audiophiles
listen up! You would think that Warner,
after making the mistake of NOT doing The Matrix in DTS, would include
the option for the sequel, but made the mistake again. By doing so, they allow for films like this
to show off even better on DVD, making repeat viewings more enjoyable, no
matter what the material.
Not only do we have a fine
audio transfer, but the 2.35 X 1 scope picture looks splendid too. Robert McLachlan's cinematography looks
remarkable, despite some of the bad digital effects thrown in time to time. He worked before with James Wong on Final
Destination. Part of the drawback
with the transfer was the use of Super 35, which never yields the results of
shooting in Panavision. For this
process, which was mostly due to the amount of special effects, the image is
shot with widescreen in mind, but the actual 2.35 X 1 image is later cut out of
the larger shot portion. Because of
this, the widescreen image that is taken out must be enlarged, causing it to
lose some of its clarity, depth, and detail.
The Arriflex 435 camera was used to shoot the film, which is a lighter
camera and has been used on other huge productions such as Pearl Harbor
and Hannibal, both released in 2001, with The One.
Colors look appropriately
sharp and clear. Surfaces have a smooth
edge to them and darker scenes look refined as well. The only drawback from time to time is some slight shifting in
certain patterns, but it is very minimal.
There is a very slight softness here and there as if there was a mere
sheen to the print. Overall, the
picture detail looks great by comparison to what else is available on the
The One is a film that can easily be forgotten. It's either lost in the shuffle of Matrix-like-wannabe
or it falls into the plethora of Jet Li fight-after-fight type of film. However, releasing the film this way was
certainly the way to go, making it more watchable and certainly a sheer showoff
piece for any home theater buff.

Shabbat Shekalim - Mishpatim
Exodus 21:1−24:18
Rabbi Mordechai (Mitchell) Silverstein, senior lecturer in Talmud and Midrash at the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
Haftarah Commentary: 2 Kings 12:1-17
Shabbat Shekalim is the first of four special Shabbatot which precede Pesah. In the Maftir Torah reading, we read a reminder of the half-shekel tax incumbent on every Jew as a means of support for the Temple, the sacred center of Jewish worship. In the haftarah, we read of an episode involving this tax during the rule of King Jehoash. Jehoash is described as a good king, but with a single flaw: "All his days Jehoash did what was pleasing to the Lord, as the priest Jehoiada instructed him. The shrines, however, were not removed; the people continued to sacrifice and offer at the shrines (bamot)." (12:3-4)
Exodus 18:1 - 20:26 75
By Rabbi Ismar Schorsch. Reprinted with permission of the Jewish Theological Seminary for MyJewishLearning.com
The Word Made Animate
Seeking the living soul of our sacred texts.
Christianity turns on the doctrine of incarnation as formulated famously by the Gospel of John: "So the Word became flesh; he came to dwell among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as befits the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth" (1:14). It is a doctrine that Jews tend to identify as uniquely Christian. Whereas both Judaism and Christianity equally acknowledged that at creation "the Word dwelt with God" (1:1) as both wisdom and instrument, Judaism refrained from ever endowing it with human form. Though valid, the distinction does not preclude the appearance in Judaism of the doctrine. For Judaism, the Word became incarnate as book.
Shabbat Shira and Tu B'Shevat B'Shalach
By Rabbi Bradley Artson, The following article is reprinted with permission from American Jewish University, for MyJewishLearning.com
When Miracles Are Not Enough
The transformation into a sacred people occurs not through miracles but rather through steady education, discipline and communal reinforcement.
Surely, this Torah reading contains some of the most dramatic and well-known scenes in all of written literature. The liberation of the Israelite slaves by God, the pursuit of the fleeing Hebrews by Pharaoh and his army, the splitting of the Red Sea, with Israel crossing safely beyond and Pharaoh's forces drowning in the waters–these scenes indelibly shaped the consciousness of the Jewish people throughout our tumultuous history. We are who we are precisely because we recall our origins as a slave people, because so much of Jewish practice is designed to remind us that we owe our freedom to a God of love and justice.
By Rabbi Bradley Artson, The following article is reprinted with permission from American Jewish University, for MyJewishLearning.com
Ready For Renewal
Like the Israelites who left Egypt and faced the terrifying choices of freedom, modern Jews face the challenge of responsibly establishing new guidelines and directions for the Jewish community.
Ours is an age of unparalleled uncertainty. While we ransack the past and its accumulated wisdom for guidance today, we also know that the degree of change in every aspect of our lives is without precedent. Groping in the dark, treading uncertainly down a path not previously taken, modern humanity doesn't know its destination and isn't even sure it is enjoying the trip. And we have good cause for our doubts.
Consider the degree of changes that this century alone has witnessed. At the turn of the century, a mere ninety years ago–a single lifetime really–wars were fought using foot soldiers, ships and bullets. Tanks, planes, missiles, nuclear bombs, space satellites, submarines, all of these techniques of killing are new to our time.
Shabbat Rosh Chodesh Shevat - Vaera
By Rabbi Bradley Artson, The following article is reprinted with permission from American Jewish University, for MyJewishLearning.com
Bearing Fruit Even In Old Age
The Torah mentions the ages of Moses and Aaron to teach us that age is a source of pride and that by honoring the elderly we bring richness to our own lives.
Most of our lives are darkened by the shadow of aging. We mock the old, laughing at their physical condition, joking about being in wheelchairs, in old-age homes, in hospital beds. We associate the old with the incompetent, with a state of permanent boredom and irrelevance. By bleaching our hair, lifting our faces, breasts and calves, sucking off our fat, and dressing in the gaudiest apparel possible, we hope to "stay young" forever.
Our fear of age trails us everywhere, urging middle-aged women to undergo cosmetic surgery and middle-aged men to find a mistress. It whispers to us of "our last chance" — whatever the vice in question. There is a frenzied quality to our recreation, our relationships, and to our acquisition of property, since we expect all of them to ward off the inevitable — death.

Body Camp Elementary School's PTA will, once again, have Dancing With the Staff.
According to Kelly Overstreet, who is organizing the event, the idea for the event comes from the TV show Dancing With the Stars. Members of the 5th grade are paired up with members of the staff and this team is taught a dance routine. The PTA sells tickets for the evening when these teams perform and the proceeds fund needs at the school.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors voted 5-2 to delay action on a request to build a private sewage treatment system at a lake area subdivision called Endless Summer.
A Bedford area woman was recently honored by the Governor's Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect.
Angela Skarp, advocate manager and independent study coordinator for Bedford's CASA office, was one of five people from around the Commonwealth to receive the Advisory Board's Appreciation Award. The other award winners came from Richmond, Winchester, Fairfax and Norfolk. The awards were presented at a ceremony held in Richmond on April 22.
John and Cynthia Ferrante have some friends from South America living with them. They're wooly, friendly and have faces like little camels.
The Ferrantes raise alpacas on their farm, Otter Peaks Alpacas, in Thaxton. Alpacas are a species of camelid, the family of animals to which camels and llamas belong. Alpacas are domestic animals that have been raised in the Andes mountains for millennia, bred specifically for their thick wool. In the Andes, they graze at altitudes of between 13,000 and 15,000 feet.
Bedford Moose Lodge 1897 officials were not commenting this week about a raid at the lodge by agents with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control on Thursday.
State agents seized what they allege to be illegal video gaming machines and thousands of dollars from Moose lodges in Bedford and Altavista. Agents with ABC raided the two lodges simultaneously last week after an investigation of more than two months, according to Chris Goodman, agent in charge of the ABC's Roanoke office. He said a tip led to the investigation.
The night before his closing argument was the hardest for Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance to sleep during Wesley Earnest's trial.
He had spent the previous two weeks making his case before a Bedford County Circuit Court jury that Earnest had killed his estranged wife on Dec. 19, 2007, and had spent more than two years prior up to the trial heading up the prosecution of that case.
Now it was time to put the case in the jury's hands.
Sixth District Congressman Bob Goodlatte is hoping to reform the often abused earmark process that dominates wasteful spending in Washington, D.C.
Good luck with that.
If the healthcare legislation fiasco of this past year taught this nation anything, it's this – anyone can be bought if the price is right.
New health reform law
The debate over a new healthcare reform plan that has been waged for over a year has finally resulted in a law.
Unfortunately the end of this debate did not yield bi-partisan results, and the law currently going forward will not likely survive the Supreme Court. There are a few reasons I do not support this final law, which are, among others:
One of my top priorities in Congress has been increasing access to quality, affordable education. To make our region competitive in the global economy, we must invest in our workforce, starting with pre-K and continuing through college and community college. That's why I was proud to support the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which was included in the health care reconciliation bill that was signed into law on March 30, 2010. This measure will make college more affordable and at no cost to taxpayers by making common-sense reforms to the federal student loan system.
More than 7 million jobs have been lost in the last three years and over 3 million of those jobs have been lost since the President signed the so-called stimulus plan into law last year. Unfortunately, these are numbers that the American people are all too familiar with and yet the Congress continues to pursue an agenda that will further threaten American job creators. While Americans are asking "Where are the jobs?", the Majority in Congress continues to demonstrate that they do not understand the priorities of our constituents or appreciate how private sector

Sourcing your city's best beverages, season after season.
The Passport Program was founded in Denver in 2013 in an effort to help people explore the city's beverage scene with 2-for-1 beverage specials. The Passport Program is now the umbrella for a series of programs that promote city exploration with the intention of getting people out trying new places. Tangible and well-designed, each booklet serves as a field guide to exploring the food and beverage scene.
Since its inception, The Passport Program has expanded into many cities across the U.S, including: Seattle, WA; Oakland, CA; Los Angeles, CA; San Diego, CA; Fort Collins, CO; Boulder, CO; Denver, CO; Colorado Springs, CO; Nashville, TN; Brooklyn, NY; Kansas City, MO; and Washington, DC.
The Winter Warmer
Our Winter Program
Sold Out, But Live Until Mar. 15th
Grab a drink, a friend, and a fire.
The Winter Warmer follows the same concept of The Passport: a pocket-sized book filled with 2-for-1 drink specials all across town. All locations invited are authentic and cozy spots that represent the best of your city. Let us forage where the beverages are pleasing and the companionship is warm.
The Summer Passport
Our Summer Program
Returning Summer of 2017!
It was a hell of a summer.
Alas, the 2016 Summer Passport has come to a close. Cheers to all those who joined in on the adventure and went imbibing with us! We hope you had a great time exploring your city. What's a Summer Passport you say? It's simple - a pocket-sized little black book filled with craft drink specials all across town. Craft beer from local breweries, wine from the urban winery around the corner, or a thoughtful cocktail from a nearby bar - you name it, we've got it.
Stay tuned for more details on our 2017 program as Summer draws nearer!
The Fika Passport
Our Coffee Program
Returning Spring of 2017
What a buzz.
Much to our caffeine-loving dismay, the 2016 Fika Coffee Passport is a wrap. We hope all those who used the book had a fantastic experience exploring Denver's coffee scene. What's a Fika you say? FIKA Passport is a field guide that offers 2-for-1 caffeine beverages at the most energizing coffee shops and roasters in select Passport cities. "Fika" is a concept embraced in Swedish culture that celebrates a midday ritual of taking a break for coffee and company. Call an old friend. Ditch the conference room to discover a local coffee shop with a coworker. Try a date somewhere new. Whatever it may be, take the time to take a break and explore.
Look for details on the 2017 Fika Passport in the Spring!

Deep down in my heart.
Locked you away from my thought,
Siting alone in dark room,
Thinking what gone wrong,
As you'r my life,
Or it was only my fault,
Deep down in my heart,
I am alone,Waiting to be with someone,
Or it is only my thought,
Living memory of past,
Deep down from my heart,
I want to make a new start,
I want to feel the aura of dawn,
In the deep down of my heart.....

Alright so I want to buy some on ear headphones. I am not an audiophile but I have I would say, a bit more attuned ears then the general crowd. I listen to almost all types of music. I want portability and good sound quality. For example the Monoprice 8323 headphones I have researched them a lot. My budget is under $100. So I would consider the Monoprice a good steal. Recently I discovered the Blueant Embrace headphones. They dropped from $200 to $70 on amazon and they are stylish and build quality looks awesome but I have read mixed reviews about them.
Would you guys recommend the Blueant Embrace headphones? For under $100 they seem amazing since they come with a case and two cords.
Or, would I be better off buying the Monoprice then saving up for some entry level headphones like some Shure or AKG?
Are there any headphones that are as luxurious as the Blueant Embrace headphones?

This application is for renewal of a grant for funds to support 5 pre-doctoral and 4 post-doctoral trainees in the Immunology Training Program in Denver. Training is performed at three institutions, at the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) and its associated Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, and at National Jewish Health (NJH). All the faculty on this application are primary or secondary members of the Integrated Department of Immunology which, as its name suggests, is shared between UCD and NJH. The interests of the 28 faculty on this application represent modern immunological research ranging from lymphocyte and myeloid cell development and function to studies on infectious disease and autoimmunity in humans. Indeed, in response to changes in the nature of immunological research and the desires of incoming trainees, several physician scientists have been added to the list of trainers in this renewal application. This grant is headed by Dr. Philippa Marrack, a well known expert in T cell biology who has a long career in training pre- and post-doctoral fellows. She will be helped by Dr. Raul Torres, the Director of the Ph.D. training Program in the Immunology Department and a Steering Committee. Trainees will be chosen from pre- and post-doctoral fellows in the laboratories of any of the faculty on the program. Predoctoral fellows will be appointed after their first year in the program, when they have chosen and begun work in their training laboratories. Both pre- and post-doctoral trainees will be selected, by the Steering Committee, for appointment to the grant based on the merit of their work and their record. Trainees will be required to take a formal course in the Ethics and Conduct of Science and to attend and present in weekly "Research in Progress" sessions. Attendance at journal clubs, weekly seminars given by invited speakers from around the world and scientific symposia will be encouraged. Trainee advisory committees will meet with the trainees at least twice per year to provide guidance on research and career direction. This program has a long and distinguished record, with almost all its predoctoral trainees continuing to excellent postdoctoral work and most of its pre- and post-doctoral trainees continuing, once they finish their postdoctoral work, with careers in science. The program has seen increasing recruiting of underrepresented minorities trainees over the years and has been, and continues to be, a major focus for immunological research in the Rocky Mountain region in particular and the USA in general.
Immunity is crucial to human and animal health. Its contribution can be increased with the use of vaccines to prevent infection and treat cancer and immunosuppressants to reduce autoimmunity. Trainees supported by this grant will become the future scientists who will work towards increased understanding of the immune system and better ways to treat human patients.)

In Europe, Ford has a long history of crafting economical cars that resolutely defy economy-car status. Trouble was, we in North America got either watered-down versions of these Continental delights or no versions at all. Then the Focus arrived – over there for 1999 and over here, almost unaltered, for 2000. Flavored for the European small-car palate and proportioned for the American big-car appetite, the Focus was, truly, a car for all countries. Among its many accolades was this publication's Automobile of the Year award. And yet, as superlative as the Focus remains, determining this year's best small car was no small feat. The new Mini Cooper is an undiluted delight, and the Mazda Protege family just keeps getting better. But when the votes were tallied, the endlessly amusing Focus, with its four body styles, incomparable user-friendliness, and sensible pricing, had done it again. The clincher was the new five-door SVT Focus, which augments the practicality of the Special Vehicle Team's three-door model but sacrifices none of its joie de vivre. It, like every Focus, celebrates a driver's enthusiasm while respecting his thriftiness, bringing indulgence to a segment that is all too often defined by sacrifice.

Games close at alumni tourney
Many of the scores were close as alumni basketball teams faced the current Summerland Secondary School Rockets teams during a one-day tournament on Boxing Day.
The first game, with the graduates of 2001 and earlier facing the current boys' team, saw the alumni team winning 108-58.
Tom Brickenden, one of the tournament organizers, said most of the alumni team's baskets were scored in the third quarter, with 32 points.
"It was actually a pretty close game until the third quarter," he said.
Scott Nicolson led the alumni team with 16 points.
The second game, featuring the female graduates of 2000 and earlier against the younger graduates ended with a 55-37 win of the older team.
The team was led by Tama Corday with 16 points. This was the first year she has played in the alumni tournament.
The graduates of 2002 to 2007 dominated the graduates of 2008 to 2011 in a 68-48 decision.
"They've won almost every time in the last 10 years," Brickenden said of the 2002 to 2007 team.
Jeff Dolan was the leading scorer with 20 points.
The younger female graduates then defeated the current girls in a 57 to 56 game. The current girls were ahead 55 to 51 until the final minute when the alumni scored two three-point baskets. The current team then brought the score up with one free throw.
Lauren Antonovitch was the leading scorer for the current team with 18 points.
The current boys Rockets team lost to the 2008 to 2011 alumni in an 85-66 game.
Josh Thornton was the leading scorer for the alumni team with 33 points.
The senior girls alumni team defeated the current girls in a 61 to 55 game.
The game was close until the last minute of play when the alumni added three baskets for the win.
Jenny Mitchel was the leading scorer for the alumni with 15 points while Chloe Kennedy contributed 12 points for the current team.
In the final game, the graduates of 2002 to 2007 defeated the older graduates 63-54.
Brickenden said the 2002 to 2007 team once again played a strong tournament and dominated the court.
The tournament is an annual event which raises money for the high school's basketball program.

Double-clicking the shortcut icon is the same as double-clicking the actual file. You can control how a shortcut appears by naming it anything you want and associating a particular icon with it. Other commonly used shortcuts are keyboard shortcuts, where a special key combination causes a specific command to be executed.

Medical Tourism in Israel
"If we only knew all the powers of the human heart, nothing would be impossible for us."
Doctor Paracelsus
We excel in urgent diagnostics and treatment in Israel
There is a current mass interest in medical tourism to Israel. It is well known that modern Israeli medicine combines cutting-edge technologies and the experience of top specialists, as well as multilingual staff. Since flights from all over the world to Israel are abundant, the experience is now cheaper than ever. Many have relatives, friends and acquaintances living in Israel, which makes communication and arrangements easier. The never-ending summer, with sunny weather all year round, the Mediterranean Sea, the eternal beauty of Jerusalem, Nazareth, Galilee, the Dead Sea, the excellent touristic infrastructure - all greatly contribute to one's decision to travel to Israel for treatment or medical check-up. Another contributing factor is the cost, as prices are lower than in Western Europe or USA, while medical treatment level in this small and controversial land is equal, and in case of some diseases even superior to the West. Our company specializes specifically in urgent diagnostics and treatment in Israel, which at times can be a matter of life and death. We've been working in medical services for the past 6 years; our team includes doctors with 20-25 years of experience.
How to choose the right company? Should I use a professional intermediation agency or contact the hospital directly?
An online research may provide you with quite a lot of ambivalent information on intermediation agencies for Medical Tourism in Israel. Please read this IMPORTANT MESSAGE from Maria Kanevsky, Paracelsus CEO, to have a clearer understanding of the matter.
How to start the diagnostic/treatment process in Israel?
You start with a personal phone conversation with our specialists, who will study your case beforehand and consult each other on its specifics, arriving at a treatment/ further diagnostics plan. Based on this plan, we can calculate the duration of your stay and cost of treatment. Please contact us by Phone or E-mail to get started. Don't hesitate to contact us; we will gladly accept any of your questions or requests.
Please read reviews from out past customers.
