Honey Can Cure Hangover Too
Did you know that honey can cure hangovers too???
Nausea, muscular and joints ache, fatigue, headache and upset intestine; these are the regular symptoms of a hangover.
These hangovers are painful because the alcohol is first broken down into a toxin substance by the body called acetaldehyde. Further with the help of fructose it gets converted into acetic acid and then finally into carbon di oxide, which gets breathed out by the body. And here is when the hangovers end.
Honey is considered to be nature's medicine. The benefits of honey are countless. From skin care to blood purification, honey is actually a boon for mankind. Honey can be eaten as a spread, with milk or just like that. Not only have the adults, the kids also relished honey.
And now according to the Scientists, honey, a natural sweetener, is one of the ideal options to deal with the noxious effects of a hangover. So the people who are prone to hangovers just need a bread toast and a spoonful of honey to get rid of these painful hangovers.
As per the study of The Royal Society of Chemistry, it is found that the fructose present in the honey helps the body to negate the effect of alcohol by breaking it down into mild by products.
By eating honey with toast, potassium and sodium are supplemented to the body, which help the body in handling the alcohol.
So the next time you have a hangover, take 2-6 spoonful of honey with bread. The potassium in the honey not only helps in stabilizing the effects of the alcohol but also lessens the cravings for it. Also make changes in diet and supplements to get rid of the hangover. In addition, fructose, a type of sugar present in honey also aids fast metabolic of alcohol.
Though it takes time for hangover to end, there are ways through which the effects of hangover can be reduced.
A glass of milk before alcohol, having clear alcohols like gin and mixing alcohol with soft drinks like Pepsi and coke can also reduce the effects of hangover.

The elections in 2002 brought a change of government and a change in Kenya's fortunes. Property investors examining the emerging real estate market in Kenya can now see massive opportunity where once there was massive risk, and the profitability of investment made into the Kenyan property market in the past few years is now beginning to show.
The majority of property investment opportunities currently in existence are situated all along the stunning tropical Indian Ocean coastline or within the many game reserves Kenya is so famous for. There are a number of areas of the country considered untouchable, but very gradually even in these areas are giving way to opportunity and growth.
In addition to being the business hub of East Africa, Kenya is blessed with natural beauty, incredible scenery and abundance of rare and amazing wildlife. Its tourism sector continued to flourish and the country even attracted property investment into the game reserves in the form of commercial lodges for tourism and also along the Indian Ocean coastal region in the form of a few second home and retirement home developments as well as some holiday resorts and commercial ventures as well.
So far the economy is on track. Kenya's GDP managed to grow by 2.2% in 2004 - this figure may seem startlingly low but it was actually seen as a very strong recovery for the country.
All of these facts have resulted in an initial surge and then steady stream of overseas investors ploughing money into the tourism and related real estate sectors in Kenya (CIA fact book) and into resort, holiday home and retirement property developments in the game reserves and on the seashore. Residential property investment opportunities in Kenya exist for the smaller personal investor and commercial real estate possibilities are developing all the time for larger or corporate investors looking for a true emerging market with long term sustained opportunity for growth, profit and yield.
The numbers of visitors to Kenya is increasing annually further boosting the more conservative business confidence in the country and gradually the economic fortunes of Kenya are beginning to see a sustained positive shift.
Those looking for a unique, long term residential or commercial property investment opportunity have significant choice in Kenya; those who have invested into the real estate sector in this emerging economy are already starting to see strong rental yield returns from the growing tourism sector and also solid price growth in their underlying investment commodity.

- - Help! Problems with horse shaking head
Help! Problems with horse shaking head I recently perched a now 3 year old off the race track QH mare. Needless to say she is very green and doesnt know to much. We have this problem where she starts shaking her head when being ridden. She'll pop her nose up and down, and throw her head up. And she just recently started throwing it side to side. I'm very light handed and try not to get in her way at all. I was riding her in a Berry With, like the image below, but the mouthpiece is a twisted wire with a dog bone in the center.http://www.ehorseequipment.com/image...=400&no=941096 I'm not too fond of it just because it seems a little harsh, so im switching her to a full cheek snaffle with a french link today. I know its not all the bits fault, and she is green and could have just developed a bad habit. Any advice on how to stop the head shaking? |
The first thing I would get checked are her teeth...make sure that she doesn't have any sharp edges on her teeth, no abscessed in her mouth, etc... Then I would just give her some time off from riding. Not to say riding her is a bad thing, but just let her be a horse for a while, and get her mind off of the whole racing scene, and get her 'settled down' mentally, physically, and emotionally...the life of a race horse is all "high". Give her some time off in the pasture, to just come off of that high. I would even be hestitant to do a whole lot of ground work, except what is necessary to keep her manners under check. When you do start working her more seriously again, get her to respect the bit on the ground first. Get her to yield to it side to side softly, ground drive her, get her to back on with ground driving, etc...Don't get on her, until she does everything with the bit softly and willingly on the ground, without tossing her head or resisting. |
She wasn't raced too much, only 3 times I think. Also after we got her we gave her about a month off, just practiced ground manners and such. But I'll definitely give it another try. |
I didn't realize you gave her time off already, but it can take them longer than a month to come down some, especially since the training itself is rigorous, leaving the racing aside. Nothing about the racehorse life is pretty, really...ridden at early age, no real turnout, stalled 24/7, ridden on the the track, and no real 'training' other than training to run, etc. So for sure, it can take a while for them to change... And definitely work with the bit on the ground first...the head shaking could turn into rearing really fast, and then you could be in big trouble. Get her to learn how to yield to the bit on the ground well first, then start teaching her to yield from the saddle...it will go alot smoother if she already knows it well from the ground first. |
I had a gelding that done the same thing come to find out it was a wolf tooth.We had it pulled problem solved.If his teeth check out it could be a cloister phobic thing or he is just green. |
I had an issue similar to this with my new saddle horse and it was all about proper fit. I ended up making a new hole in the headstall to get the bit In the right spot and was an instant fix! Dusty was always rolling the bit around in his mouth. I would think it would be fairly obvious he didn't like the bit so may not be the issue. |
730 Attachment(s) That's a functioning bit?!?! o_O I would shake my head too! |
730 Attachment(s) What advice, Josh? lol Msg me so we don't derail this thread ? |
Agree with mom2pride mostly but after teeth are checked consider that when you ride her avoid straight lines. Do circles, serpentines, figure 8s and walk over logs, obstacles etc etc. Keep her mind busy with as many new things as you can. Keep the work pleasant and interesting for her. Using obstacles is very calming for horses. Take your time with her. Dont rush her into anything. That is what has made her hyper in the first place. If she slows down, and still is head shaking when you ride her she may have Equine Head Shaking Syndrome. There is all kinds of information about it on Google. |

Dear supporters of ACFA,
As you may be aware from the news reports, and as supporters of ACFA operations based in Mali, I feel it necessary to inform you that Mali has been troubled over the last few months. Commencing in
January 2012, rebels have engaged the country's military into war in the north of Mali. As of now, estimates have over 175,000 Malians displaced in both the country itself, and neighboring countries. The situation has deteriorated the past few days in the culmination of a military coup in Bamako last week.
ACFA's children are doing fine. They are located about 4 miles from Bamako where the events occurred. Currently, they are enjoying spring break. We canceled their extracurricular activities such as karate, basketball, math, English and French classes. Although there is still no government established in the country, as of yesterday, offices have resumed functions. With the rest of the country, ACFA children resumed their basketball and English classes today. They will remain on spring break until Monday 02 April 2012.
Thank you for your continued support and we will keep you informed. In the meantime should you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact our CEO at email@example.com.

A June 12 trial was ordered Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court for a 22-year-old Hudson man charged with falsely reporting a kidnapping and sexual assault as an excuse for missing work.
A not-guilty plea was entered for Thomas Scott Verdon after he filed a waiver of arraignment on a charge of false report of a felony. He remains free on personal recognizance. He is charged with reporting to Hudson police on Feb. 16 that he was abducted and sexually assaulted by an unknown man while getting in his car. Hudson police said he later admitted making up the story to avoid going to work that day.

Very few critics have even seen Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" at this point. Those that have are mostly under an embargo that doesn't end until early next week — but Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis of The Schmoes Know Movies show on YouTube have already published their video review of the movie. You can watch it below.
Basically it's a five minute rave with very few qualifications (the "Schmoes" rate the film 4.5 and 4.25 out of 5 stars, respectively). They quibble a little about the film's longish runtime, but they adore Jamie Foxx and particularly Christoph Waltz, who they say is even more fun to watch here than in "Inglourious Basterds" because he's playing a good guy this time. They also liked the dialogue, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and QT's typically ecclectic soundtrack selections. "Tarantino does it," Harloff says, summing it up. "He makes it work."
Here's their review; "Django Unchained" opens on Christmas Day:

Kohl's smaller plan serves as learning experience
March 24, 2003
,Looking to serve communities of 100,000 people or less, Kohl's bowed a smaller footprint store last fall in four markets, said Kevin Mansell, president, at the Merrill Lynch Global Retailing Leaders Conference last week. Though it looks a lot like the typical 89,000-square-foot format, the 60,000-square-foot test store has only one entrance, instead of two, and will offer a select assortment of all of Kohl's six major businesses. "The purpose of doing this is to learn," he said — to learn how to to edit assortment, how big the store should be and such. The focus of the retailer's growth will remain on its larger format, but "we will get huge learnings out of this."

Johnny Depp and Girlfriend Vanessa Paradis Splitting Up?
Actor, Johnny Depp's long term relationship with Vanessa Paradis is on the rocks and Depp is said to be struggling with how to deal with their problems, according to RadarOnline.com.
This could explain Depp's recent drinking escapades.
Johnny and Vanessa have been said to be arguing constantly and this could be the end of the relationship. Although – that could be a bit extreme as most marriages have their ups and downs.
"Johnny isn't handling anything well right now," a source stated, "people around him are worried about how Johnny is doing because he and Vanessa seem so fractured right now. Their relationship is heading toward the end."
Radar Online is also reporting that, "Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship. They're not married but they've been together for years and have kids together so it isn't as easy as just breaking up," the source said.
Do you believe the couple is heading for a break-up? We can't always believe "sources" – as it could be anyone.

The Guardian's "A week in Gaza" – a series of articles, videos and photos on life in Gaza is published in the coming days, beginning on Monday. But a closer examination of the first report reveals problems right from the start.
- A fisherman's tale – lacking context:
The first in The Guardian's series of reports focuses on the difficulties faced by Gaza's fishermen in the face of limited fuel supplies and an Israeli naval blockade. Despite continuing terrorism emanating from the Gaza Strip, the naval blockade is is presented as a punitive Israeli measure for Hamas's control over Gaza, not a response to Hamas terrorism.
The Guardian's reporter fails to give the real context behind the Israeli navy's measures. For, as an aide to former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh recently admitted, Iranian-made Grad rockets are smuggled into Gaza across the Mediterranean Sea.
As The Jerusalem Post reported, Iran uses floatable devices that it drops near the waters off the Gaza coast to be picked up by Palestinian fisherman.
"They throw the weapons overboard in waterproof, sealed tubes which then float into the Gaza waters and are picked up by fishermen," one official said. "Sometimes Navy boats intercept them and sometimes they get through."
- Playing the numbers game:
There is no simpler way of portraying Israeli military actions as "disproportionate" or presenting Palestinians as the victims of Israeli power than quoting casualty statistics without putting them into proper context. As part of an interview with UN official John Ging, The Guardian states:
Attacks by militants in Gaza have killed five Israeli civilians and five soldiers this year. Israeli military attacks on Gaza this year have killed at least 312 Palestinians, of whom 197 were unarmed civilians, including at least 44 children, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
While the death of any non-combatant civilian is tragic, the Guardian's focus exclusively on the number of casualties creates an inherently skewed picture of the situation. It ignores the intention of the actions that led to the casualties: Palestinian terrorists intend to kill as many civilians as possible and the IDF intends to protect its citizens. The only reason the Israeli casualty figure is not higher is simply down to sheer luck.
For example, The Guardian (and most other media) fails to mention how a Qassam missile exploded next to a school bus carrying children only the day before in the latest Palestinian rocket barrage.
Hamas stealing fuel:
What The Guardian also fails to mention is the role of Hamas in actively promoting an artificial humanitarian crisis in order to put international pressure on Israel. Recent media reports indicate that not only is Hamas depriving the civilian population, it is also allocating the supplies for its own use:
A Jerusalem Post report, on 29 April, states that Hamas stole 60,000 litres of fuel from the civilian population of Gaza. This was confirmed by the head of the Palestinian Authority's gas agency, who added that Hamas gunmen had raided the Palestinian side of the Nahal Oz fuel terminal, stealing at least 60,000 litres of fuel meant for the Gaza power station, for use in their own vehicles.
The Independent reported on 24 April on the artificial crisis caused by Hamas, which even caused the UN to suspend food aid to 650,000 refugees in the Gaza Strip after running out of fuel for its delivery vehicles. An emergency tanker sent to the Nahal Oz terminal to collect fuel was turned back by demonstrators, and was forced to return empty. The EU condemned Hamas actions which lead to further suffering of the Palestinian population.
On 24 April, the Presidency of the EU stated that Hamas activities were obstructing and even preventing humanitarian work by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
Please continue to keep an eye on The Guardian's "A week in Gaza" series throughout this week and send your considered comments to email@example.com.
HonestReporting's international site has thoroughly critiqued Jeremy Bowen's BBC documentary "The Birth of Israel", which can now be seen in six parts on YouTube: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Full of omissions and historical revisionism, Bowen either downplays, delegitimises or altogether ignores the legitimate roots of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel going back three millennia. Instead, the Arabs are painted as victims of Jewish power and malevolence.
Please watch this programme, use HonestReporting's detailed critique, judge for yourself and send your considered comments to the BBC Complaints website, making sure to include the programme information (broadcast on BBC Two, May 4, 2008).
HonestReporting UK critiqued Johann Hari's op-ed in the Independent, systematically exposing the many distortions, omissions and Hari's reliance on fringe revisionist sources and individuals. We even caught Hari employing a quote that he had previously been warned was false. Despite this, he has responded not by addressing the issues raised but by attacking us:
In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence – and to a large degree, it works….
There was little attempt to dispute the facts I offered. Instead, some of the most high profile "pro-Israel" writers and media monitoring groups – including Honest Reporting and Camera – said I am an anti-Jewish bigot akin to Joseph Goebbels and Mahmoud Ahmadinejadh, while Melanie Phillips even linked the stabbing of two Jewish people in North London to articles like mine. Vast numbers of e-mails came flooding in calling for me to be sacked.
We at HonestReporting UK are not so na?ve to believe that Israel is infallible and immune from legitimate criticism. However, Hari's one-sided reliance upon fringe, revisionist sources and individuals deserves to be exposed along with his use of a falsified quotation to back his case.
Hari's piece was one-sided and journalistically suspect – HonestReporting UK and our subscribers had every right to respond. Charging us with "McCarthyism" is merely a means to silence those who disagree with his own views.
We will continue to help you, our subscribers, to write considered letters to media outlets using the materials we provide, despite this latest attempt to delegitimise ours and your right to do so.
Rather than shutting down free speech as Hari would have you believe, we encourage you to contribute positively to the debate. Please make your views heard by sending e-mails to The Independent – firstname.lastname@example.com and posting to the comments section of Hari's op-ed.

The cover of Rockabilly Party looks more like a hillbilly strip
club scene, a bad scene from Deliverance or something of that nature.
One of those fellows has a Molotov cocktail in the back round,okay.
I'm confused. But the music inside is all pure original 1950's rockabilly
various artists and it's a good one. It's a theme of miscellaneous songs
and themes: Little Red Caboose, Lonesome Old Jail, Waitin' For A Train,
Bubble Gum Boogie, I'm Being Haunted, Way Up Alaska Way,
Sleepy Time Blues,Rockin' Through The Tunnel Of Love, Have Myself
A Ball, All Messed Up and Married Life Blues.Something I'm sure
many of us can all relate to..Look for the links in the comments sections.

Appealing to residents to ignore rumours about gangs operating in the city and nearby villages, police on Tuesday stressed that stringent action will be taken against those spreading the rumours.
Addressing a joint press conference with Border Range deputy inspector general (DIG) Paramraj Singh Umranangal, Amritsar police commissioner Ram Singh said, "We have repeatedly said no such gang is active in the Majha region which loots or attacks people at night. We are already keeping strict vigil, and will take stern action against rumour-mongers."
He added that efforts were on to reach the source. Expressing concern over a few police-public clashes, DIG Umranangal said, "It appears that the police and public do not trust each other. We are taking strict action against a few elements among those involved in 'thikri pehras' who are spoiling things and are also meeting sarpanches.
The situation has improved in the past couple of days and we are taking more confidence-building measures."
The Border Security Force is also lending a helping hand by starting patrols in border villages.

City-pick St Petersburg, edited by Heather Reyes, Oxygen, RRP£9.99, 272 pages
From Gogol's lively descriptions to Miranda Sawyer's journalistic reflections, this collection of writing on St Petersburg gives an impressionistic introduction to the Russian city. The intention is to capture mood, ambience and history that might complement a guidebook.
Nobel laureate and native son Joseph Brodsky, exiled by the Soviets, reflects on the city's rich heritage while writers from Nabokov to the dissident Andrei Makine offer differing perspectives of its modern history. But the collection also includes a wealth of non-Russian writers. While John Reed's account of the storming of the Winter Palace is an obvious inclusion, extracts from Malcolm Bradbury's To the Hermitage and Helen Dunmore's The Siege are illuminating, and Truman Capote's 1957 sortie to help bring Porgy and Bess to the city is an unexpected delight.
Together, these extracts offer a substantive cultural orientation for any actual or armchair visitor to the city.

TONTOGANY The Otsego school board is expected to decide in late July whether it will ask voters to approve a bond issue or try an alternate method to pay for a new elementary school and renovate the junior high.
The good news, said Superintendent Jim Garber, is the district would only need a 1.21-mill, 28-year bond issue to generate slightly less than $4.2 million the local share of the Ohio School Facilities Commission project.
The reduction of about $1.2 million in what was first expected to be a $5.4 million local share is because the board no longer plans to add five classrooms to the junior high and can save money by using the now-vacant Weston Elementary as a junior high while the school is being renovated, Mr. Garber said.
The district had planned to rent portable classrooms for students.
If the board does not ask voters to pass a bond issue for the project, it could use a lease-purchase option through which the district would issue bonds and repay them over 30 years in a loan arrangement similar to a land contract.
The payments would be made, Mr. Garber said, with the money Otsego would save by closing the three old elementary schools and consolidating students at one new school in Tontogany. Citizen groups have formed both in support of maintaining the district s three elementaries in Weston, Grand Rapids, and Tontogany and in support of the single-campus plan.

We all pitched in and brought different decorations to make a very attractive display. Our scarecrow had money symbols for its eyes, dollars sticking out of his overall pockets. A black crow on his shoulder, pumpkins, flowers, stalks of cotton and corn were set on bales of hay around him. We won a prize for our display.

On the Street…..Theatre Lane, Hong Kong
I love how the bag really brings a lot of color to this look.
Sorry I was out of touch for a few days in Beijing. I don't think I have ever gone so long without posting – I was having withdrawal symptoms !
I really like Hong Kong but Beijing rocks!!!
Hong Kong really is just like New York in the feel of the city but Beijing really feels like China.
It was such a challenge to shoot on the street in a city where people not only don't speak English but they don't speak a language anywhere close to my language.
At least in Italy I can say a few words in English or bad italian and the subject basically understands but in China they had no idea what I wanted to do. Most people thought I wanted them to take a picture of me with my camera.
I have never been turned down for taking a photo in my life but I guess I understand the reasons.
Anyway, eventually I got the hang of it and got some really great images in both Hong Kong and Beijing that i will be posting this week. I also look forward to writing a little more to help explain what I was seeing.
Sorry not many (any) men's photos on this trip, the men's style ,in general, really lags behind the women's. That will be my big challenge next time.
I guess it is safe to announce now that I will also start doing a page every month in Vogue China starting January or February.
This came up before I went on this trip. Of course I was excited to do the page but after this visit I am now double, extra excited about being involved with Vogue China.
I will talk more about the team at Lane Crawford later in the week but I want to thank them again for sponsoring this trip and taking such good care of me.
I would like to say I was shocked by just how good the Lane Crawford stores are but ,honestly, wasn't that shocked because I knew they were good but I had no idea they were THAT good, that level of good.
I spent 15 years in sales and marketing dealing with department and specialty stores all around the world before i started this blog. During that time I developed very strong opinions about what makes a great store and what a great shopping experience should feel like. The fact that I don't write about stores very often should tell you that ,more often than not, I am rarely excited by most shopping experiences but this trip to the Lane Crawford at IFC and Beijing was really inspiring.
More than the beautiful stores and great locations, I was really impressed by the edit of the buy for each designer and the depth of strong fashion pieces. No safe, watered-down presentation of Marni or Dries that often happens in stores solely driven by the bottom line and lacking in a clear long range vision.
Ok, I can feel I'm starting to get worked up here and I could write at length about this but I have to catch my plane back to New York. I will continue this thought later in the week.
Thanks Sarah!!

On the Street…..Subtle & Dramatic Part 2, Hong Kong
Really like the look but I really love her makeup
Young ladies here in hong Kong seem to be doing some really nice work with subtle white makeup
Notice how she has softened her eyebrows and made her lips very flat and matte with just the slightest use of white.
It is one of those things that you can't really put your finger on when she walks by but you can just tell she is doing something interesting.
By the way she is not a stylist or designer – she works in an executive recruitment office.
Going to a "corporate job" with that kind of style is why the young ladies here are pretty cool.

On the Street…..Dynamic Understatement, Central Hong Kong
Couple of things
- This is minimalism at its best
narrow color scheme that uses texture and surface detail to deliver a huge impact
- matte sequins for day
- surprisingly sexy and yet not obvious
- love the extra short skirt with the extra long sleeve – great play on proportions
Again, I don't think any of the individual items are very expensive it is all in the way she mixed the elements

Hong Kong & Beijing This Week!!
I will be in Hong Kong & Beijing this week to attend the opening of the new Lane Crawford store in Beijing.
I have never been to Asia so this will be quite an adventure.
I will try to keep things on a regular schedule but just keep checking back because I have no idea what will happen.
I understand that blogspot might be blocked in Mainland China so I might have to email images to a friend for them to update etc. Either way, I will try very hard to create some images that capture the essence of this trip and what I see.
Thanks to Sarah Rutson (a Sartorialist regular) of Lane Crawford for making this happen.
Stay tuned

November GQ
I'm really happy that I was able to work Shannon Hill (a multi-post Sartorialist Alum) into the November GQ. He gives a few tips on how a gentleman that is not "in the business" of fashion can help create his own personal style.
Shannon also gives a nice shout-out to fellow Sartorialist G. Bruce Boyer.

On The Street……Outside Regent Park, London
Finding gentlemen like this is what keeps me going….and on my toes.
So I stop this gentleman and say I would love to take a photo of him.
"Everyone wants to take a picture of me " he replies.
When someone says something like that, you realize you are on a short leash and I could just as easily talk myself out of a photo.
I have found that the more honest I am with the subject, the more the subject appreciates it. They know they are characters.
So I say" I don't doubt it, you're quite the character." That seemed to get him.
"Well, hurry up with it then, my wife is waiting" he says and then he stood completely still while I took five or six shots.
I always am a little in awe of someone that can stand so still when they are having their photo taken.
He didn't check himself, he didn't adjust anything, he didn't ask to see the photo afterwards.
He basically just said – here I am, take your best shot.

Can You Guess Where I Am? UPDATE
If you guessed Frieze Art Fair in London you are correct!
At the last moment I was asked by Vogue Nippon to cover the art fair in London.
I am really wipedout after show season but how does one pass up an opportunity to shoot for Vogue Nippon.
The issue should come out in January so I will keep you posted when it is available.
Back in New York tomorrow.
ps i found and corrected the problem that was pixelating the images the last few days. Thanks for the heads up Mitt!

Friday Evening "Accordion Jazz Dance Night" , Milan
So I'm walking on a side street in Milan trying to get to another show and I hear this music almost blaring from somewhere nearby.
It just sounded so unusual for Milan that i just had to follow it. I have found when something seems unusual, it can usually lead to something special.
Anyway, I quickly find a church hosting "Accordion Jazz Night", The church is packed with senior citizens dancing the early evening away.
Understand, these were not a lot of 70 year olds, these were a lot of 17 year olds trapped in 70 year old bodies.
I mean, i wish i could just say this to you because i will never be able to type or articulate in words what I saw.
Their faces…their joy….their youth
It was people moving past the psychical and living on the emotional.
There was joy, there was fun, there every look, every flirt, every expectation that you could see a a senior prom.
Immediately I was struck by this gentleman in the top image. He wasn't so much dancing with this woman as he was speed walking, but he was there, he felt it, he was in the moment.
Eventually he came out to the foyer and took a rest right next to me and started talking to another gentleman. I have no idea what they were saying but it was about girls. I'm a guy and i can tell when other guys are talking about girls (no matter what their age).
I had to get to the next show but I was so happy to have stumbled on this this little, tiny slice of life.

We hope all of our supportes are doing well and would like to inform you about the creation of new anti-poaching team within the law-enforcement service of Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve and Leopardovy Wildlife Refuge (KP). In October 2011, a newly established "Border team" of 5 inspectors started to patrol the protected area (PA). It's very good news that KP inspectors can now patrol the PA along and behind its boarder. One of the key points was that the Border group will work with MIST patrol monitoring system. The team has two vehicles and Grizzly ATV. It is partially secured with equipment but there are lots of what is needed for the team to conduct their activities at full capacity. We would appreciate your continuos support of our important project.
Meanwhyle, in November, the South team continued anti-poaching work and to conducted 26 anti-poaching patrols on the southern part of Leopardovy Wildlife Refuge and adjacent territories. Most of the patrols were carried out on foot at daytime. During the first half of the month the team continued putting out forest fires inside the protected area and on adjoining territories. Additionally, the team members read lectures at local school to foster positive children's attitude towards nature.
On November 16, during a routine patrol near the Brusya river the team spotted footprints left by two persons on fresh blanket of clean white snow. After a 4-hour pursuit, the inspectors detained two residents of Slavyanka with a smoothbore, cartridges, backpack and a knife. The detainees were taken to Kasansky police station for further investigation. Later it was determined that the men were brought to the protected area by a traffic police officer. The case is still under investigation. No more violations were revealed by the team in November. In general, the autumn 2011 was rather calm season; however after first snow fallen in the second half of November more and more people directed their steps into the forest. The team decided to increase the frequency of patrols in order to prevent or reveal trespassing.
During a foot patrol near Bomburovo railway station the inspectors found tracks left by two tigers (9-cm and 11.5-cm paw width). Also, they discovered leopard tracks (7 cm paw width) on the roadside.

PROVIDENCE – Brad Marston, professor of physics at Brown University, will use a $75,000 grant from the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative for research on nuclear-waste disposal.
Marston's theoretical research will involve developing predictive models needed to ensure the safe, long-term disposal of spent nuclear-fuel rods. Rods are typically stored at nuclear reactors around the country in dry cask storage or spent-fuel pools, but there is no long-term national repository. Overcoming the issue of how best to dispose of nuclear waste could advance the use of nuclear power, which some climate scientists regard as a way to provide energy while reducing carbon emissions. •

The Teardrop Explodes
View in iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
One of the pivotal groups to emerge from the Liverpool neo-psychedelia community during the late '70s, the Teardrop Explodes was a showcase for Julian Cope, a notoriously eccentric figure whose unfashionable love of Krautrock and hallucinogenic drugs set him distinctly apart from the prevailing punk mentality of the era. Cope formed the band in 1978 after a tenure in the Crucial Three (also comprised of Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Wah!'s Pete Wylie); taking their name from a panel in a Marvel comic book, the premiere lineup of the Teardrop Explodes also featured guitarist Mick Finkler and drummer Gary Dwyer, as well as keyboardist Paul Simpson, with whom Cope previously played in the short-lived A Shallow Madness. Upon signing to Bill Drummond and David Balfe's fledgling Zoo label, the quartet issued their 1979 debut single, "Sleeping Gas," a surreal electro-pop effort distinguished by its swirling keyboard washes; Simpson exited the Teardrop Explodes' ranks in the wake of the record's release, allowing Balfe to assume keyboard and production duties for the bizarre follow-up "Bouncing Babies." After touring with Echo and the Bunnymen, the group concentrated on streamlining the more excessive elements of its sound: the result, the buoyant "Treason (It's Just a Story)," nearly reached the pop charts. After Finkler was replaced by former Dalek I Love You guitarist Alan Gill, the Teardrop Explodes issued 1980's infectious "When I Dream," which hit the U.K. Top 50 and even garnered some airplay in the U.S. Finally, in October the band's debut LP, Kilimanjaro, appeared to rave reviews and respectable sales; early in 1981, the single "Reward" hit the Top Ten, and a subsequent reissue of "Treason (It's Just a Story)" surged into the Top 20. Still, the Teardrop Explodes' roster continued to fluctuate wildly, and soon Gill exited to make room for guitarist Troy Tate in time to record 1981's ambitious Wilder, highlighted by the smash "Passionate Friend." A tour of the States followed, with disastrous results; Tate quickly broke ranks to join Fashion, leaving the remaining trio to begin work on a planned third LP to be dubbed Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes. In the midst of recording, however, Cope dissolved the band; only a 1983 EP dubbed You Disappear from View appeared on schedule, although the unfinished sessions were finally released in full in 1990 under their projected title. In the wake of the Teardrop Explodes' breakup, Balfe later re-emerged as the founder of the Food Records label, while Cope embarked on a successful and occasionally brilliant solo career. ~ Jason Ankeny

If Jay-Z has his way, Blue Ivy won't be the only kid in the Carter family — not by a long shot.
In a recent interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez on Tuesday (July 9), the "Magna Carta Holy Grail" rapper revealed that he would love to have more children with his lady love, Beyonce. "Absolutely, God willing," he replied when asked whether he'd like to expand his family.
HOV then went on to joke that he would like "a little basketball team" worth of children — sports is clearly on his brain thanks to his new role as founder of sports agency Roc Nation Sports.
During the rest of the interview, Jay-Z discussed sharing his personal life with Beyonce through their music and her documentary, "Beyonce: Life is But a Dream," as well as a cute tidbit about their home life. Because Beyonce has "100,000 amazing songs" that she's been working on for her much-anticipated album, the power couple likes to get a little goofy together. "Yeah, [we] dance to it in our socks!" he revealed.

CB14 Committee Approves Rezoning: Full Board Could Vote At January 10 Meeting
The community board's Land Use Committee voted Tuesday night in support of a proposed rezoning in Bayswater/Far Rockaway, according to a key representative.
The vote followed an hour-long meeting with residents of Bayswater and parts of Far Rockaway at the Bayswater Jewish Center, where a rezoning proposal for those two communities was specifically addressed. Support for the rezoning was unanimous, according to Community Board 14 District Manager Jonathan Gaska.
At the meeting were John Young, the director of the Queen's office of the Department of City Planning (DCP) and Chris DiOrio the DCP's planner for the Rockaways.
The meeting, similar to one held on September 27, was the first step in the public review process to change the zoning of the areas in question since the DCP's director certified the 82-block rezoning proposal last month.
"We are trying to ensure that housing more closely reflects the current frame work," said Young as he and DiOrio outlined the proposal to the committee and the residents.
According to the DCP, the Bayswater/Far Rockaway rezoning proposal will rezone some areas currently designated R2 (one family detached housing) to R1-2 (also one family detached but with – among other things – larger minimum lot sizes). All, or parts, of existing R3-2, R4 and R5 (all types of houses) will be rezoned to R3A, R3X, R4A (one to two family detached) and R4-1 (one to two family detached or semi-detached) to allow for lower-density areas and to conform with the contextual look of the neighborhood.
The effort to downzone the areas came after residents began seeing, what they felt, was over-development in their neighborhoods as large old houses were torn down and replaced with several homes in its place. Many people living in the areas say the new houses are out of character with the homes that are already there. Some even say the proposed rezoning, which is in effect a downzoning, doesn't go far enough.
Young told those residents it was in the community's interest to adopt the current proposal first, and then revisit the question of downzoning other areas in the future.
Young said the DCP needed to look for the potential for sub-division and needed a pattern to recommend rezoning. "We tried to include as much area as possible," he said.
Young also addressed the race that exists between builders and those who want to limit – via the rezoning – what they can build. The approval process on the rezoning is being done in an expedited time frame to get the proposal passed into law as quickly as possible.
The committee is expected to make its recommendation to the full board at the next regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 10 at the Knights of Columbus.
