In cases of suspected hypothermia, it is necessary to call 911 and seek emergency medical treatment, but some home treatments while waiting for the ambulance have a positive influence on the patient's prognosis. Restoring warmth slowly, using CPR if necessary and maintaining body temperature are crucial at home, notes WebMD.
Bringing the affected person indoors and removing any wet clothing begins the home treatment process. Then comes warming the person, beginning with the trunk, by wrapping him in blankets and dressing him in dry clothes. Chemical and hot packs and hot water bottles are permitted as long as they are wrapped in cloth. Administering CPR for people struggling with breathing should begin as soon as possible and should continue until emergency personnel arrive. A warm drink is helpful for conscious people, and wrapping the person's neck and head, along with the rest of the body, provides the largest likelihood of a positive outcome, as stated by WebMD.

Advanced strategy #10 (Trend Line Trading Strategy)
Submitted by Edward Revy on October 4, 2008 - 08:30.
A truly great work has been done by Myronn, the author of the current Trend Line Trading Strategy.
Support-resistance trading, trend line trading, checking higher time frames, money management — the strategy has a concrete-like theory base and a simple implementation — a winning combination, that places it into the category of advanced strategies.
Remember, your feedback, comments and suggestions are always in great demand!
Read entire post >>>
You are real good!
Congratulations on your live trading. And thank you for this update!
Good for you. I just hope it isn't in AUD!!!!!
Yeah Grant, I was fortunate to open Live account in USD so that is good for me as AUD is getting a severe beating.
I placed 2 short trades this afternoon on live account on GBPJPY. The first one hit my profit target giving me 362 pips. The second trade hit my stop loss with a $12 loss only.
So that brings me to $8,361.85 total profit & current balance of $13,443.18 so thats 167.22% increase in the account so far.
Will I be able to reach $15k profit before this week is over? I dont know but one thing I am sure, I have confidence in my system...so I'm gonna stick to my rules of trading & risk/money management and see where I end up at.
Those 2 trades are enough for this evening, overtrading is a recipe for disaster. There is always another day to trade tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing this great strategy! I have been having some issues in identifying trends though: what if the hourly shows a general downtrend with congestion (flat range for a day) but the 5 min shows an upwards trend (let us say for 3 hours with 2 swing highs) like EURUSD today. Do I follow the long-term against the current trend, bet on falling prices (on hourly) or stay out altogether?
In answer to a user question above it is my personal opinion to stick to the trend shown in the larger timeframes like the 1hr becuase they have more significance than minor counter trends shown in a smaller timeframe like 5min. however that does not mean I cant take counter trend trades in 5min timeframe...it can be done and can be very profitable too & when you do that, keep in mind the BIGGER PICUTRE that you are going against a main trend. That also means that support and resistence (swing highs & swing lows) you identify in a larger timeframe are more important than ones seen on 1min or 5min timeframes. Also it i good to have a trendline drawn on the larger timeframe so that should you decide to take COUNTER TREND trades on 5min timeframe againt the main trend, as price nears the larger timeframe trendline, it is better not to place any counter trend trades at all as price nears the main trendline. Yes, you will find excellent trading opportunties in 5min timeframe that go against the main trend and you can take them but keep in mind the bigger trend when you do trade against it.
Hope this helps.
Hi Myronn
Congratulations on your success, could you also tell us about what type of mm you use for eg
1)what percentage of your live account do you risk per trade
2)what percentage of your account do you utilize as margin to open a new position for each trade
The reason I ask is because in the demo you posted i found a trade where the stop loss was at about 10% of your total available account.
Thanks & I hope you achieve your target of 15k this week
hi myronn,
you have a great strategy here as it instructs a trader to take trades in the direction of the trend (unlike mine where i have to wait for trend reversal signals through pivot points and candlesticks). point is, am open to anything that can bring in consistent profits.
i want to put your strategy to the test but i don,t have the zz indicator. i know you've said it's not a must one has it.....but i would like it.
do you mind sending it to me??
please reply
happy (and careful) trading to you all!!
Hello all,
I hope this week has been good for you. It is good to be alive and breathing.
This is how my week turned out: I did reach my target of $15,000...however lost back $5000. Overall, not a bad performance for the week. Looking foward to next week trading.
to the user who asked about the money management, I am using max of 5% risk on live account. To some, that may be too much. Everyone has a different risk appetite I suppose, so use risk that you are comfortable with. With regard to margin, I really dont have any specific rules on that regarding opening new position(s), but this is what I do, when i place a trade & when that trade is in profit, I move my SL to Breakeven or at least lock in some profits only then I open a new position.
Anybody who read my previous post on "watch out" for USDCHF as it was nearing the monthly downward trendline? Remember that? Have you seen what happened to it this week? The price touched that trendline & took a tumble on Monday, Tue & Wed on the daily chart but retraced back up on thurday exactly on 50%Fib area at around 1.1203. It might probably go and test the trendline again. Would be interesting to see if the trend holds.

A Moschino Barbie Capsule Collection Is Coming
"Fabulosity totally included."
In collaboration with Barbie and Net-a-Porter, Moschino is launching a "Moschino Barbie" capsule collection — and it's just as fabulous as you could imagine.
Read more Design Inudstry's Leading Experts Discuss LA/NY Rivalry
Everything we love about Jeremy Scott's spring 2015 collection for the Italian fashion house, from the big hair to the gold chains, has made it into the limited edition doll collection which is available exclusively on Net-a-Porter beginning Nov. 9.
But that's not all — the campaign even features its own '80s-tastic commercial with a catchy jingle ("Moshino Barbie! Look at those shoes, that belt, her hair! Covered in gold with Moschino everywhere!") and a little boy with unparalleled winking skills.

And if they don't rope you in with commercial nostalgia alone, the brand is also releasing an eight-piece human-size capsule collection as well as two Moschino Barbie tees. You know, so you and Barbie can finally be twins.
Because the collection is on the pricier side ($150 for the doll and between $225 and $1,595 for the apparel), the line is definitely on the top of our holiday wish list. Just putting it out there.

Blog Tour: Reader I Created Him
The lovely Kat of Reader I Created Him did a great interview with me for her blog today. Not the same old same old questions! Check it out, and comment for a chance to win a signed copy of Too Hot to Touch, plus a set of my Rising Star Chef romance trading cards.


text: Looking at how my friends able to go through with an exhibition, have too many emotions. So damn proud of them as well as felt really not good in how I handle myself and my dream. When people ask me "You can try putting yours up", I smiled "Nah, i can't make it" That's the only word I can say, I don't find my work really expressive. I just don't know how I should make it, well, just that good. I know how much if I don't try and expose my works out, I'll never get to where I am. Nobody would recognise my work out in the world, if I don't start from now. Which lead me to much disappointment again. I just don't know how I should do it well, how i should path it..

'I'm the happiest girl alive': Former Sugababes star Heidi Range is giddy as she reveals engagement to partner Alex Partakis
Heidi Range has got engaged to her boyfriend Alex Partakis after a year-and-a-half of dating.
The 31-year-old former Sugababes singer shared the exciting news on Twitter after the property developer got down on one knee on Thursday evening.
'Delighted to share the news that my gorgeous @alexpartakis proposed last night! Am the happiest girl alive and can't wait to be Mrs HP x', she enthused.
Scroll down for video
Engaged: Heidi Range accepted a proposal from her boyfriend Alex Partakis on Thursday night after over a year of dating
Alex also took to the social network site, writing, 'Am the happiest man in the World today. @Heidi_range said yes! Can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together xxx'.
Her former bandmates from the many incarnations of the Sugababes over the years - Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, Siobhán Donaghy, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen - have yet to congratulate her on her big news.
Heidi and Alex were set up by her personal trainer in early 2014, and felt and instant connection.
Thrilled: Heidi couldn't wait to share her good news with her fans on Twitter
Romantic: Property developer Alex also expressed his joy on the social media site
Their first date was a restaurant in London's Notting Hill and they have been inseparable ever since.
The Push the Button hit-maker revealed in an interview with the Scottish Daily Record published just this week that she was hoping for a proposal, but didn't want to jinx things.
'I try not to think about it – I could be waiting a long time', she joked when asked whether an engagement was on the cards.
'I could be waiting a long time!' The 31-year-old singer joked just this week that she was trying not to think about the possibility of a proposal
She recently joked that her pet pug was as besotted with Alex as she is, telling Now magazine: 'Bettie's obsessed with him. She follows him into the shower - he can't escape. And when he's watching TV she sits on his head.'
Heidi was previously engaged to presenter Dave Berry, who she dated for eight years, but they called time on their romance in December 2011.
The star has turned her back on music since chart-topping girl band the Sugababes went their separate ways, confirming the news in the autumn of 2013 after a long hiatus.
Blast from the past: Heidi, pictured with her fellow Sugababes Mutya Buena and Heidi Range in 2001, has been lying low since the band ended

text: Vitsœ: A persistent system Regular readers might have noticed that I worked for Dieter Rams shelving makers Vitsœ for some years and have often referenced Dieter Rams in my blog posts. Last week saw the release of a short film by Vitsœ about how the company which spans more than 50 years has today become a much loved and desired product, being something so very unsexy as a shelving system. Of course, this love rarely comes about because of the aesthetics of the product but for the geeks amongst us, those aesthetics are the sexy part. "We've never sold the same system twice" says Mark Adams, managing director of Vitsœ. The product is not a packaged item, but something where the parts are configured and packaged to your individual needs before sending them off to you to arrange, and rearrange, as you need them to be. My system is testament to this philosophy, having been through a move once and reconfigured to work within the new space… this idea means that all of my books have been accounted for, my clothes, my desk space, my cookery books and even vases will always have the same place in each home, even if the place they occupy is in a different place than the last. No longer do I need to concern myself with "is there enough storage" and I bring it with me. This drawing below, drawn in 1955 by Dieter Rams, shows this idea in a simple way. A system that can fulfil the needs of a space without intruding and can be configured to any other space, over and again. Many have tried to copy this idea, but very few achieve the same result. Designer: Dieter Rams Manufacturer: Vitsœ Year: 1960 Daniel Having worked in design for the past decade, Daniel started ateliertally.com as a discussion of timeless, modernist product design. Trained as a graphic designer, he also has an avid interest in typography. You can follow him on Twitter @ateliertally.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to score the amazing vegan bag picture below from Vegan Cuts. This lush vintage inspired bag which is called The Harlow is from an equally amazing vegan handbag line called Namaste. Over the last 5 or 6 months that I've had this bag I've taken it on many of if not all of my trips to visit my parents in Pickering, which is a suburb just outside Toronto. Which takes me about 40 minutes reach by train. I love taking this bag with my on these short tips because it fits exactly the right amount of stuff I need for a weekend spent in the home I grew up in. I also feel confident to predict that The Harlow is thee best bag for mini weekends trips away with your friends, family or sweat heart. You can currently get your hands on what I like to call the perfect commuter bag over at Vegan Cuts for a steal! And while you happen to be on Vegan Cuts you should make sure to checkout the plethora of other amazing deals they have (including sweet deals on other bags from Namaste!).

Lance Armstrong and Anna Hansen: Expecting!by Free Britney at .
Looks like congratulations are in order for cycling champion Lance Armstrong: he's expecting his fifth child, and second with girlfriend Anna Hansen!
Lance announced the news this way: by creating a Twitter account for the kid, "Cincoarmstrong." That may be the lamest thing we've ever heard.
The quote-unquote baby's first entries: "I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and [I'm] 2 inches long. See y'all in October..." Lance, honestly dude?
The joyous cheese-fest continued with this: "I'm now the size of a lemon, 3.5 inches long, and weigh 1.5 ounces. And oh yeah, I'm on Twitter."
Maybe John Mayer has a point after all.
Anna Hansen is pregnant! Again!
Added the soon-to-be dad via his own Twitter.: "What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!" Seriously, we are happy for them.
The star then confirmed the news to his hometown paper, the Austin-American Statesmen. The future child's future name will be Jack or Olivia.
Armstrong and Anna Hansen welcomed son Maxwell Edward just 10 months ago.
The Tour de France winner / cancer survivor has three kids with ex-wife Kristin.

Most of Chile's festivals are held to mark religious occasions, or to honour saints or the Virgin Mary. What's fascinating about them is the strong influence of pre-Spanish, pre-Christian rites, particularly in the Aymara communities of the far north and the Mapuche of the south. Added to this is the influence of colourful folk traditions rooted in the Spanish expeditions of exploration and conquest, colonization and evangelism, slavery and revolution.
In the altiplano of the far north, Aymara herdsmen celebrate Catholic holy days and the feasts of ancient cults along with ritual dancing and the offering of sacrificial llamas.
In central Chile, you'll witness the influence of colonial traditions. In the days of the conquest, an important ingredient of any fiesta was the verbal sparring between itinerant bards called payadores, who would compose and then try to resolve each other's impromptu rhyming riddles. The custom is kept alive at many fiestas in the Central Valley, where young poets spontaneously improvise lolismos and locuciones, forms of jocular verse that are quite unintelligible to an outsider. These rural fiestas always culminate in an energetic display of cueca dancing, washed down with plenty of wine and chicha – reminiscent of the entertainment organized by indulgent hacienda-owners for their peons.
In the south, the solemn Mapuche festivals are closely linked to mythology, magic and faith healing, agricultural rituals, and supplications to gods and spirits. Group dances (purrún) are performed with gentle movements; participants either move round in a circle or advance and retreat in lines. Most ceremonies are accompanied by mounted horn players whose four-metre-long bamboo instruments, trutrucas, require enormous lung power to produce a note. Other types of traditional wind instruments include a small pipe (lolkiñ), flute (pinkulwe), cow's horn (kullkull) and whistle (pifilka). Of all Mapuche musical instruments, the most important is the sacred drum (kultrún), which is only used by faith healers (machis).
A festival calendar
January 20 San Sebastián. Spaniards brought the first wooden image of San Sebastián to Chile in the seventeenth century. After a Mapuche raid on Chillán, the image was buried in a nearby field, and no one was able to raise it. The saint's feast day has become an important Mapuche festival, especially in Lonquimay, where it's celebrated with horse racing, feasting and drinking.
February 1–3 La Candelaria. Celebrated throughout Chile since 1780, when a group of miners and muleteers discovered a stone image of the Virgin and Child while sheltering from an inexplicable thunderstorm in the Atacama. Typical festivities include religious processions and traditional dances.
End of February Festival Internacional de la Canción. This glitzy and wildly popular five-day festival is held in Viña del Mar's open-air amphitheatre, featuring performers from all over Latin America and broadcast to most Spanish-speaking countries.
Easter Semana Santa (Holy Week). Among the nationwide Easter celebrations, look out for Santiago's solemn procession of penitents dressed in black habits, carrying crosses through the streets, and La Ligua's parade of mounted huasos followed by a giant penguin.
First Sunday after Easter Fiesta del Cuasimodo. In many parts of central Chile, huasos parade through the streets on their horses, often accompanied by a priest sitting on a float covered in white lilies.
May 3 Santa Cruz de Mayo. Throughout the altiplano, villages celebrate the cult of the Holy Cross, inspired in the seventeenth century by the Spaniards' obsession with crosses, which they carried everywhere, erected on hillsides and even carved in the air with their fingers. The festivities have strong pre-Christian elements, often including the sacrifice of a llama.
May 13 Procesión del Cristo de Mayo. A huge parade through the streets of Santiago bearing the Cristo de Mayo – a sixteenth-century carving of Christ whose crown of thorns slipped to its neck during an earthquake, and which is said to have shed tears of blood when attempts were made to put the crown back in place.
June 13 Noche de San Juan Bautista. An important feast night, celebrated by families up and down the country with a giant stew, known as the Estofado de San Juan. In Chiloé, an integral part of the feast are roasted potato balls called tropones, which burn the fingers and make people "dance the tropón" as they jig up and down, juggling them from hand to hand.
June 29 Fiesta de San Pedro. Along the length of Chile's coast, fishermen decorate their boats and take the image of their patron saint out to sea – often at night with candles and flares burning – to pray for good weather and large catches.
July 12–18 Virgen de la Tirana. The largest religious festival in Chile, held in La Tirana in the Far North, and attended by over 80,000 pilgrims and hundreds of costumed dancers (see Santuario de la Tirana).
July 16 Virgen del Carmen. Military parades throughout Chile honour the patron saint of the armed forces; the largest are in Maipú, on the southern outskirts of Santiago, where San Martín and Bernardo O'Higgins defeated Spanish Royalists in 1818.
August 21–31 Jesús Nazareno de Caguach. Thousands of Chilotes flock to the archipelago's tiny island of Caguach to worship at a two-metre-high figure of Christ, donated by the Jesuits in the eighteenth century.
September 18 Fiestas Patrias. Chile's Independence Day is celebrated throughout the country with street parties, music and dancing.
First Sunday of October Virgen de las Peñas. Each year, numerous dance groups and more than 10,000 pilgrims from Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina make their way along a tortuous cliff path to visit a rock carving of the Virgin in the Azapa valley, near Arica. There are many smaller festivals in other parts of Chile, too.
November 1 Todos los Santos (All Saints' Day). Traditionally, this is the day when Chileans tend their family graves. In the north, where Aymara customs have become entwined with Christian ones, crosses are often removed from graves and left on the former bed of the deceased overnight. Candles are kept burning in the room, and a feast is served for family members, past and present.

New York—Automakers will dramatically increase their spending on online marketing in the next two years, according to a study released Thursday by online research company eMarketer.
The study predicts that automakers will boost their online ad spend to $2.7 billion in 2007, up from $1.4 billion in 2005.
"Automotive advertising online will continue to grow at double-digit levels, at least through 2007," the study said. "eMarketer predicts 35% growth in the automotive category this year, following 38% growth in 2005."
One major interest for automakers, the study said, is behavioral targeting, which has garnered the "biggest buzz" for online automotive campaigns.

Forests and water - case studies
Flaws of participatory appraisal and planning methods: an experience from Nepal.
The Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Component (SCWMC) of the Denmark/Nepal Natural Resource Management Sector Assistance Programme (NAMRSAP) was implemented from 1998 to 2004 with the aim of helping soil conservation offices to launch a participatory watershed management process in selected locations of Nepal's Middle Hills. The programme covered 20 districts, 24 sub-watersheds and 700 communities, representing about 30 000 households.
SCWMC was based on building grassroots organizational and financial capacity in integrated watershed management. Groups of participants were established, initially at the ward and micro-catchment levels, but the programme soon realized that these groups were not socially homogeneous enough to function as appropriate local development units. SCWMC therefore shifted to hamlet-level groups, called community development groups (CDGs).
Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and vision planning methods were used to establish a participatory planning process at the CDG level. Each CDG was expected to set a development vision compatible with watershed management principles, such as "becoming a well-protected and healthy village". This vision was then to be realized through planning for specific objectives, such as "reclaiming all local degraded lands and applying soil conservation treatments to local gullies and landslides", or "obtaining access to safe drinking-water and a latrine".
Alongside the vision-based planning component, SCWMC also introduced the service, economy, environment and democracy (SEED) concept, which was to prioritize the activities financed by the programme. Ideally, communities were to prioritize activities that could provide services, improve production, protect the environment and promote democratic norms.
Programme budgets were planned in line with communities' planned activities, and CDGs were free to propose relatively large projects. CDGs' skills to approach other donors for funding were also developed. Compulsory group saving schemes were established to strengthen the groups' ownership of programmes.
Through this bottom-up planning process, CDGs drove the implementation of SCWMCs, but insufficient technical backstopping from field staff, and community members' lack of expertise led many CDGs to stretch their budgets by compromising on quality. CDGs were also often more interested in fulfilling the service component of SEED than in the environment, economic and democracy aspects; they pressured field staff to allow them to redirect resources from soil conservation and watershed management to building schools, household water supply schemes, irrigation canals and other infrastructure, which was beyond the core natural resource management scope of the programme. In the long term this threatened the relevance and sustainability of SCWMC efforts to promote sound soil conservation and watershed management practices at the grassroots of rural society.

Just a slice of awesome zen at Wednesday's morning skate, filling the air with anticipation at Staples Center before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Kings and the Devils. The Kings lead the best-of-seven series, three games to none, and could win their first Stanley Cup tonight.
Kings left wing Dustin Penner had said before Game 1 in Newark that it felt like Christmas morning.
If so, then how about this?
"If there was a better holiday than Christmas, it would be today," Penner said.
A few minutes later down the hallway, Kings Coach Darryl Sutter wrapped up his brief session with reporters with his favorite word, saying: "Awesome."
That was more predictable than his exchange with a local radio personality, who has hopped on the Kings' bandwagon with both feet, now that the Lakers are in hiatus. He has been calling Sutter "Zen."

Seen most recently on the Emmys' red carpet, lace is one huge trend this fall. From dresses to blouses to the occasional frilly coat, the fabric formerly reserved for petticoats and lampshade trim is having its moment as the fashion it-kid. But how does one wear it without looking dated?
A black lace dress is pretty much a no-fail way to pull off the trend. The key to creating a modern look is to pair with modern accessories. A powerful cocktail ring and eclectic necklace will mix well with the old-fashioned lace. Slip on some black tights, and masculine black boots to rough up the dress. A simple, unfrilly black clutch will complement your accessories. And finally, opt for a bright overcoat that stands out against the black.
Miu Miu Princess Coat, $1320
Black Shell Minaudiere, $400
Black Agate Square Necklace, $175
Quartz Star Ring, $340
Darbey Boots, $300

Hed PE (also known as (hed) Planet Earth and stylized as (həd) p.e.) originally stood for Hed Planetary Evolution, is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California. Formed in 1994, the band is known for its eclectic genre-crossing style, predominately in the fusion of gangsta rap and punk rock it has termed "G-punk", but also for its reggae-fused music.
The band's cross-genre mix of styles has been cited by journalists as having a considerable impact on rap rock and nu metal,[1] though no firsthand accounts of the band influencing bands in either genre exists and the band itself has denied being a part of these styles, identifying more as a punk rock band utilizing rap vocals in conjunction with other vocal styles (melodic reggae singing, screaming and death growls) rather than being a rap rock band in of itself.[2][3] One reviewer described the "nu metal" categorization as being a mistaken association.[4]
After releasing three albums on Jive Records, Hed PE left the label to record independently. Hed PE was signed with Suburban Noize Records from 2006 until 2010. Since 2014, the band has been signed with Pavement Music.
Since 2006, the band has become known for its involvement in the 9/11 Truth movement, referencing it in many of their song lyrics and concerts, as well as the concept of the album New World Orphans, and more recently for their social liberal political activism.
To date, Hed PE has released ten studio albums, one live album and three compilation albums.

Formation and major-label debut (1994–1999)[edit]
The band was formed by vocalist Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog),[5] and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene.[6] Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education".[7] The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues,[6] and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding "PE", which stood for "Planet Earth".[5][7]
Hed PE signed with Jive Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1997.[8] In his review of the album, Allmusic's Steve Huey wrote "There are some slow and/or unfocused moments [...] but overall, its aggression will probably play well with late-'90s metal and punk fans."[9] Due to the label's contractual terms and the disappointing sales of the album, the band found themselves unable to repay the cash advances given to them by Jive. Gomes is quoted as saying "We had these romantic visions of the music industry, and we thought it would be cool to be a punk band on a rap label. So we fulfilled that dream, but it was also probably the worst thing that could have happened. [...] We've had offers from Sony and others that we can't take because we owe Jive so much money."[10]
Broke and Blackout (2000–2004)[edit]
On June 6, 2000, Hed PE appeared on the tribute album Nativity in Black II, covering Black Sabbath's "Sabbra Cadabra".[6] Hed PE released their second studio album, Broke on August 22, 2000. It peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard 200, while its first single, "Bartender", peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and at No. 27 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[11] Allmusic's Jason D. Taylor wrote: "Broke may have not found as much success in the competitive mainstream market as some would have liked, and even despite its distinct departure from the group's debut, it is an album that shows more vision than other rap-tinged rock albums to come out in 2000."[12] The most negative response to the album came from critics who viewed its lyrics as misogynistic.[13][14]
On October 27, 2000, Gomes was arrested for possession of marijuana while the band was performing in Waterbury, Connecticut. He was released on a US$1,500 bond.[15] In 2001, Hed PE performed on the Ozzfest tour alongside bands such as Korn, Static-X, and System of a Down.[6] A music video for "Killing Time", the second single from Broke, was produced in promotion of the film 3000 Miles to Graceland, which featured the song on its soundtrack.[16]
Hed PE released their third studio album, Blackout, on March 18, 2003. It peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard 200, while its title track peaked at No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and at No. 32 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[17] Allmusic's Johnny Loftus wrote that "While it expands on melodic elements that had previously played a supporting role in the band's sound, Blackout also delivers truckloads of crushing guitar and pounding rhythm. And whether or not it is the presence of a top-line producer, (hed) pe have figured out a way to imbue their aggressive mix of heavy rock and hip-hop with some serious hooks."[18] Guitarist Jaxon joined the band in early 2004. He is the fourth person to fill this position.[19]
Only in Amerika (2004)[edit]
Hed PE left Jive Records, releasing their fourth studio album, Only in Amerika, on Koch Records on October 19, 2004. It peaked at No. 20 on the Top Independent Albums chart and at No. 186 on the Billboard 200.[20] In his review of the album, Johnny Loftus wrote "It wants to be a confrontational megaphone in the ear of conservatives, but Jahred's torrential rhetoric is too messy and blatantly offensive to incite anything but superficial anger, and the music -- though occasionally explosive -- takes a backseat to the ranting."[21]
Suburban Noize Records (2006–2010)[edit]
In 2006, Hed PE signed with Suburban Noize Records, recording their fifth studio album, Back 2 Base X. The album was intended as a return to the basics of rock music, and did not rely as heavily on studio enhancement as previous releases.[22] The album was released on June 6, 2006, the same day as The Best of (həd) Planet Earth, a compilation album produced by Jive Records without the band's authorization or consent.[22] Back 2 Base X peaked at No. 12 on the Independent Albums chart, and at No. 154 on the Billboard 200.[23] Allmusic's Rob Theakston wrote that "Back 2 Base X suffers from the same problems as Amerika: it tries to be conceptual in thought à la Tool and vicious in its political commentary à la Fugazi or System of a Down, but somehow falls short by sounding like an angry stoner on a soapbox. It won't win any new fans, but existing fans of (hed) pe's work won't be turning their backs away from the band in anger anytime soon, either."[24]
On June 26, 2007, the band released their sixth studio album, Insomnia. It peaked at No. 16 on the Independent Albums chart, and at No. 138 on the Billboard 200.[25] The album's lead single, "Suffa", became one of the most requested tracks at Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack, while the song's music video was voted one of the Top 10 of 2007 on MTV's Headbangers Ball.[26] Hed PE released their first live album, The D.I.Y. Guys, in 2008.[26] In December 20, 2008 Hed PE released their new single "Renegade" with the drummer Christopher Hendrich who appeared in the music video as well.[27] On January 13, 2009, they released their seventh studio album, New World Orphans. It was released in three different versions; each contains a different set of bonus tracks.[28] In 2009, drummer Trauma joined the band. He is the sixth person to fill this position.[19] The band's eighth studio album, Truth Rising, was released on October 26, 2010 to mixed reviews.[29] It would be the last album the band recorded for Suburban Noize, which Gomes described as having "imploded on itself" approximately around 2010, leaving the band without a label for the next four years.[30]
Evolution and Forever! (2014-present)[edit]
Hed PE subsequently signed with Pavement Music.[30] In a 2012 interview, frontman Jared Gomes stated that their album for 2013 titled Ascension would be released within the first half of 2014.[31] Towards the end of 2013, DJ Product mysteriously left the band with no explanation and no comment from the other members. On January 1, 2014, Gomes stated on the band's official Facebook that the new upcoming (hed) PE album will be named "Evolution" and to be released within the year.[32]
On May 13, 2014, On the band's official Facebook page, they released the official announcement of when the band's new album Evolution will hit stores. The album is set for release July 22, 2014.[33] They also released a teaser of the tone of the new album on their Facebook page and soon after, the track "One More Body".[34]
In 2015, it was confirmed that 12-year guitarist Jaxon Benge and original bassist Mark Young had left the band. They were replaced by guitarist Greg "Gregzilla" Harrison and bassist Kurt Blankenship, leaving vocalist Jared Gomes as the group's only remaining original and founding member.
Music and lyrics[edit]
Hed PE performs a style of music which they have referred to as "G-punk",[5][10] a phrase inspired by the term "G-funk".[8] Hed PE has also described its music as "schizophrenic".[35] Hed PE's music is a fusion of styles ranging from hip hop, reggae, and ska to hard rock, punk, and heavy metal.[28][36][37] Other elements that have been incorporated into this style include blues,[38] funk,[39] jazz[39] and industrial. Jared Gomes' vocal style ranges from melodic singing to rapping, screaming, and death growls.[29][38] The band's lyrics draw from a number of subjects, including social justice,[40] the existence of extraterrestrial life,[41] criticism of organized religion,[41] the 9/11 Truth movement,[29] cannabis use[21] and sexual intercourse.
The band has disassociated itself from nu metal and rap rock, with former guitarist Jaxon stating that "I wouldn't call our band nu metal" and Gomes noting that his vocal style is wider ranging than simply rapping.[2][3] Regarding the band's association with nu metal, Kik Axe described the band as being "mistakenly lumped" into the genre,[4] while Beatdust described the band's sound as helping shape nu metal, listing Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit as bands it believes were influenced by Hed PE.[1] Hed PE itself claims that Linkin Park was influenced by Hed PE's music and that Fred Durst listened to Hed PE frequently while recording Limp Bizkit's debut album; these claims, however, have not been backed up by either Durst or Linkin Park.[42]
Gomes, in addition to the 9/11 Truth movement, has expressed support for social liberal politicians such as Nancy Pelosi and president Barack Obama.[43][44][45][46] Previously however, Gomes' 2004 lyrics for Only in Amerika expressed support for nationalism,[21] and called for retaliation against Al Qaeda for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The band's influences include Beastie Boys,[19] Black Sabbath,[7] Bob Marley,[47] Led Zeppelin,[7] Nine Inch Nails,[19] Notorious B.I.G.[48] and Rage Against the Machine.[7]
DJ Product©1969 credits the band the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy as influencing and shaping his style of turntablism, as well as the early rap metal group Proper Grounds, and credits the punk rock band The Vandals as being the band which inspired him to try to incorporate turntablism into rock music, as the band had incorporated turntablism into one of its live performances.[49]
Hed PE's second album, Broke, incorporated classic rock and world music influences,[6] while Back 2 Base X was influenced by classic punk bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Clash, Insomnia was influenced by thrash metal bands such as Slayer,[50] and New World Orphans was influenced by Suicidal Tendencies and Minor Threat.[51] Guitarist Jaxon has been credited for encouraging a heavier, hardcore punk-influenced musical style.[19]

Why would legislators kill a plan that could save the state hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 40 years? Did they do it in retribution against the Schaefer administration?
That seems to be the case. The arguments put forth by legislators for defeating this plan defy logic and are contrary to the facts that were presented to them. This is one instance in which putting out $88 million in bond money would result in huge savings down the road.
Gov. William Donald Schaefer sought permission to use this bond money to buy six Baltimore office buildings and then move state agencies out of rented space and into these state-owned structures. Instead of paying rent, the state would be using that same money to pay off the bonds while its equity investment in the properties grows. In just five years, the state could save $13 million; over 40 years, the cumulative savings would exceed $600 million!

Yuvraaj says Suhani always wished good for this house, you had no right to kick her out. Dadi asks are you going against me for that girl, did you forget when Suhani called Gauri mad in court and we lost our name. Yuvraaj asks Dadi to call her Suhani, calling by name is way to give respect, you have one day, get Suhani back here, else I will leave this house. Everyone get shocked.

It won't be hard to spot India's prime minister when he meets with President George Bush and leaders of the other G-8 countries on July 9 in Toyako, Japan Manmohan Singh's sky blue turban always stands out in a crowd of dark grey suits. But otherwise, he has much in common with them. At home he's facing an electorate that is growing increasingly frustrated with rising oil prices, interest rate hikes, a faltering stock market and anxiety about whether the country's surging economy will soon slow down.
But Singh hasn't come to commiserate. He's in Japan to have a few informal but crucial discussions about a deal between the U.S. and India to share civilian nuclear technology. The details of the deal are complex and technical, it may not get through the U.S. Congress, it has few enthusiastic supporters even in Singh's own centrist party, and he could lose his majority in Parliament over it. So why bother?
Critics say that Singh, who has a PhD in economics, is acting too much like a technocrat and not enough like a politician. Voters already blame Singh's Congress Party for India's 11% inflation. The nuclear deal may be good for the country in the long run India desperately needs fossil-fuel-free energy to power its economic boom but by pursuing it now Singh risks losing the support of the Leftist parties in the fractious political alliance that keeps him in power. By pressing the issue, he could also trigger elections as early as September, exposing Congress Party lawmakers to angry voters several months earlier than planned. "Manmohan should have concentrated on resuscitating his party's fortunes instead of frittering away weeks on a nuclear deal seemingly difficult to seal and deliver," wrote columnist Ajaz Ashraf in the July 7 issue of Outlook, an Indian newsmagazine.
But Singh may prove to be more of a political animal than he seems. He has just shored up support in Parliament by forging a new alliance with the regional Samajwadi Party. (The two parties are still doing the parliamentary math, but if Congress secures all of its newly pledged seats, it can keep its hold on power.) More importantly, by pushing for this unpopular nuclear agreement, Singh gives the Congress Party an opportunity to stake its ground in the next election as the only party that can help move India toward energy independence a goal that is just as urgent in India, where rising energy consumption is helping to push up prices everywhere, as it is in the U.S. "A lot of this has to do with communication," says Mahesh Rangarajan, a political analyst and professor of history at Delhi University.
Congress must connect the civilian nuclear deal with the issue that really motivates voters inflation by arguing that expanding its nuclear-energy capacity will make India less vulnerable to rising petroleum prices. Congress will have a chance to make this case when it unveils its election platform. But opponents are already attacking the deal, taking any sign of closer ties with the U.S. as evidence of Congress' submission to American imperialism. Nevermind that Bush has been criticized for giving away too much to India by agreeing to separate civilian and military nuclear issues. Leftist politicians may instead push even harder for populist measures like greater subsidies for gasoline. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party may also use the debate to do a little grandstanding by calling for a third nuclear weapons test as a show of India's national pride (Such tests are not part of the U.S.-India nuclear agreement.)
This deal has been declared all but dead before, but Bush and Singh are both eager to get the agreement signed while both of them are still in office. Bush, for his part, needs at least one clear foreign policy success, and an Indian nuclear deal would strengthen ties with India and open up the Indian market to U.S. nuclear power interests. And this time, Singh has withstood the pressure from the left that sidelined the deal in the past.
If, as expected, the Congress Party breaks with the Left and can clearly define itself as the party of economic reform and forward-thinking energy policy, Singh will have accomplished something historic giving the Congress Party's politicians a way to appeal to voters through its track record rather than its deep wells of patronage and the legacy of the Nehru-Gandhi family. The party "doesn't really have a history of being able to do this," says Sudha Pai, a professor at the Center for Policy Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. In 1996, voters kicked out the Congress Party even though it had passed economic liberalization measures that sparked the country's boom. The finance minister and architect of those reforms? Manmohan Singh. He didn't get credit for that bold gamble, but he's sure to get the credit or blame for this one.

Summary: Liriel of Lothlorien is Haldir's sister and has been the secret lover of Prince Legolas for years. She is Arwen's closest female friend and an ex-girlfriend (not sexual!) of one of Arwen's brothers. What happens when Liriel arrives for the Council of Elrond as Legolas' new bride? I'd love to see the interplay between Haldir and Legolas over the very quick wedding, and how you persuade Gimli that it's a good idea to have another Elf in the party. How do you convince Boromir that a female elf can be a warrior? Must have the couple trying to sneak away for quiet moments but always being interrupted - and I'd love to see someone explaining Elven sex to the hobbits! I'd also suggest arguments between the young couple where Liriel makes it plain to all and sundry that she has a will and a mind of her own. I'm also wondering how things change if someone manages to heal Theoden's son? If you write as just LOTR, great. Cross-over options preferred would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Harry Potter.

Unthinkable but obvious
In March 2009 Clay Shirky wrote an excellent essay about the nature of changes happening to society, newspapers and journalism ("Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable"). It got more than 1,200 responding links since then (a tremendous amount). That remarks how important that topic seems to be especially in the blogging scene, wich is apparently no wonder.
Now, in this Interview with Jay Rosen from the New York University he explains how he tried with this essay to write in a way that people from inside the newspapers can comprehend and get on the subject wich is far beyond the very only existence of newspapers. From my point of view this is the real goal he has achieved with the text. He compares our situation with the 1500s, when the invention of print changed the whole (known) world in a revolutionary way.
The Interview is pretty long (but it is worth it; it deepens and substantiate the topic and brings a lot of lights to the surface), below is just the first part, so make sure there's enough leisure in the place.

How to Avoid an Argumentative Person
To avoid any discussion at all with that special provoking person -- remember that the objective is to extricate yourself from the situation of unnecessary discussions of anything including hot topics and avoid being annoyed. Here's how to remain calm and peaceful despite a hot topic.
1Ignore the troubling "provocation," if at all possible. For example, in a bus, or queue (waiting in line) or on a plane, bury your nose in a book or a newspaper.
2If you can't avoid the overly talkative person, keep your opinion, or knowledge to yourself. Why would you care to tell that person what you know or think, if it will only encourage more unwanted opinions.
3Avoid the subjects he or she would like to discuss: but instead of engaging in the discussion -- avoid eye contact with the person whom you wish to escape.
4Don't act on the temptation to make the person seem mistaken. This will simply raise the temperature. Act as though you might be wrong yourself, but that it is of no interest and look past the other person.
5If you have to say something, keep your response as bland and non-committal as possible. Speak as if you don't have any opinion of your own (even if you do).
6Shrug, and begin to read or put you earpiece in to listen to music while nodding as if you understand.
7Consider searching your pockets or your bag when you can excuse yourself -- so that you can walk away in search of an exit, a convenient distraction.
8Don't explain why you are leaving. If you got caught in a one-sided discussion, don't lead him or her on as if you appreciated it. Wave as you walk away, and say, "I'll see you." Don't wait for a response.

- Here are some provocative assertions followed by suggestions of ways to respond to them without escalating an argument. Each statement contains subtext (a meaning that is not directly verbalized), which is explained after the response:
- "Stockholm is the capital of Norway."
- Your response: "Really? I thought Oslo was the capital. I must look it up in an atlas when I get the chance."
- What you really think: "You're the one who needs to look it up."
- "If all the X were lined up to be shot, I'd be there with my gun."
- Your response: "I don't think I could do that."
- What you really think: "In this entirely hypothetical scenario, I would behave more morally than you."
- "The X party will destroy the country."
- Response: "That's a controversial subject. I know other people agree with you."
- What you really think: "I'm not going to tell you my opinion. You can draw your own conclusions."
- Avoid, as much as possible, such people that you feel are likely to strongly disagree with you. Their opinions can raise objections and be very stressful, to say the least.
- Never disagree or call the adamant person a name as a put-down. That might make you seem like an elite snob from the other person's viewpoint, and probably could give more reasons to argue against you.
- Don't raise your voice. That could escalate it to a physical confrontation.
- Don't act irritated, or disgusted. You are just interested in other things without being embroiled in dramatic effects, conflict, if the plot thickens.

to loving life again!
"The darker the night, the brighter the stars."
~ Ancient Chinese proverb
Drama Therapy
• Develop a compassionate role toward yourself and others
• Connect to a deeper part of oneself
• Develop your professional voice
• Develop your ability to negotiate in any given situation, no matter how difficult
• In groupwork: connect to like-minded individuals, in a nurturing environment
• Have fun in the process
Finding the ability to stand up to anxiety
One question people can ask themselves is, "What's right about me that I am not getting?" "How am I not accepting or receiving all aspects of myself?"
We are so busy trying to make ourselves wrong we miss out on who we uniquely are and what we have to contribute on a daily basis. We instead have decided and judged who we think we are based on our self-image. We are often trying to make ourselves feel something other than what we actually do feel.
How can we accept all aspects of ourselves?
In a sacred group therapy space or in individual therapy you will learn:
• How to negotiate and handle difficult people at home or in the workplace.
• Discover five easy ways to forgive.
• Bring awareness to the present moment.
• Reveal and develop inner strengths to be in the present.
Unmet longing
People often have accommodating or dismissive interactive styles of relating:
• Accommodating: Make room for everyone's needs but your own.
• Dismissing: Fierce self-reliance, where you feel no one could possibly be strong enough to understand or meet your needs. This is a position of defeat and resignation, where you give up on others, because: no one is strong enough to provide shelter, take in the burdens you have to bear or "have your back".
Commitment to this process
No acting or theatre experience necessary!
Our current programs:
"An amazing, insightful experience…"
"Ilene Wolff is an exceptional therapist–the therapists' therapist. Insightful, talented and quick. I attend a class she runs exclusively for therapists, called "Drama Therapy for Therapists." I've never seen anyone so quickly identify the source of a problem and then instantly move toward the path to healing. The class is constantly in motion as we act out the drama that drives our inner drama, in what transforms into a drama-therapy-training-ground. An amazing, insightful experience, it translates well to my own clientele. ."
~ Primo M.
"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a workshop with Ilene Wolff and she is nothing short of amazing! She is a strong, bright and clear teacher and therapist who creates a lot of depth, safety, and connection in a very short period of time. Everyone in our group opened up, connected easily and experienced a great sense of joy in Ilene's presence through her skilled facilitation. I highly recommend working with her."
