I know that not all would agree with me, but Malena is definitely the sexiest chick in all of porn, in my opinion!! Don't get me wrong, there are some major hotties, but no woman beats her sex appeal. Not in my opinion, they don't. She's, like a perfect 20, instead of a 10!!
Love the headstands at the end. You don't see that everyday. In fact, I think these shots could have been explored in greater depth and breadth. Maybe soon?
Awesome tight thighs in 6th picture, happy to see malena on MetArt.
Melena's always been a favorite, even if she only does girls. (Much as with Jillian Michaels. Such a damn shame!) My bark is only that, with such a perfect body, why spoil it with garish tattoos? One might as well buy a new Rolls Royce, then scrape your initials all over the hood!
pic 64 closeup and out of focus?
I love Malena Morgan. She makes you feel as if she is posing for you. l have seen lots of her videos and I have never seen her do rough sex with a man. Good for you Malena! There are a lot of stars who do rough sex after going solo for a while and in no time at all their pussy are damaged which really put me off.
I can't believe any guy over the age of 12 would make such a statement seriously! Rough sex damages vaginas? A4Art, the only thing damaged here is your BRAIN. Voluntary role-playing rough sex cannot damage a girl's vagina, Art.
To say what you did proves that you haven't had any. If you were to say something this ignorant to a date, she'd leave you at once, and should!
Vaginas are incredibly accommodating, which is why they can handle any size human penis, not to mention something as huge as a baby's head, quite well, then spring right back.(Are you talking about rape a la Jack the Ripper, you Bozo?) UGH!
FYI, the reason no film exists of Malena with a guy is that she is a lesbian. Duh! I made joking comments about that - and Jillian Michaels - above.
Her tattoos, while there, are unobtrusive enough and she is so lovely, they simply don't distract from her beauty. Nothing could.
tattoos or not, Malena is always a super cute and I think that it is much worse when a girl, lately the younger ones too, " disfigured " their bodies with chemical stuffs....than an innocuous tattoo that it can be removed anytime by laser ...
Just look Malena and as far i am concerned her tattoos do not matter......
Malena is the most beautiful and the sexiest of all models.....plan to start a fan page for her......every bit of her oozes perfection of gorgeous beauty
IMHO, this is Malena's best set in a LONG time -- and I'm including her sets on SexArt and other sites.
Something about this set got her more engaged and animated and less the jaded pornstar she seems to have felt like for awhile.
Whatever it was, I hope she continues tapping into it, because she is incredibly beautiful and appealing, when her heart's in it.
I saw crappy ink and thought "this gal must be American" then I realized who I was looking at and where she's from. It's a bummer when the ink is so bad, just typical "I'm an induhvidual, you can tell by my ink". Yes you are unique, just like everyone else.
Otherwise pretty girl, just sorta typical really, nothing interesting, pretty much know everything I need to know about her from the ghetto ink.
Any chance we can see Malena over at SexArt again?
Malina is very beautiful. but her bored porn star expression is all she gives us until her gym poses at the very end
The cause of the blurred/out of focus images is not in the taking but in the processing.
Most photographers use Photoshop or similar packages. The aim is to get beautifully smooth, blemish free skin. Just compare any set to that of the same model in a video and you can see the difference.
The problem with this lies in that for speed they batch process all images to the same pre-sets. A process that takes a set like this of about 100 images a few minutes. To do each one individually would take about 2-3 hours per image.
In quality terms it's the equivalent of taking a roll of film to a quick processing lab and getting a set of images back in an hour or taking the film and getting each one hand printed. You would get a far higher quality from the latter but the cost would be 20-30 times higher.
Unfortunately, in the world we live in, it's quantity rather than quality that that counts.
We could carry on this futile discussion about tattoos for the rest of our lives, and it probably would only continue to shed light on our own personal opinions -- which mostly seem to be male viewpoints.
Is there a WOMAN out there that would be willing to tell us why she has a tattoo??
I would even be willing to hear from a woman that THINKS she MIGHT want to get one.
The enlightenment would be most appreciated --
The most common answers I hear from women as to "why they got tats" is generally along the lines of "because it's cool" and "all my friends have them". I think in most cases they do it because of social pressure rather than some "personal thing"...especially when the tat is some non-unique tribal arm band / tramp stamp, insect, or flower that everyone else has.
No takers, huh?
Malena...beautiful as ever. Nice set, if a bit unimaginative. Love her tats! Love her 'whole', body and soul! Love her passion for the work! Loved you on Twistys Malena, and glad you're here!! XOXO ;o)
I love the closeups of her armpits and speaking for myself I think her tattoos are also arousing. I don't like women covered head to foot in tattoos as they are in tattoo magazines but Marlena's tattoos are just right for me.
Met Art subscribers should start insisting on better photography; these girls are simply too beautiful for some of the less than State of the Art photos that are submitted and accepted. Catherine's photography should be the minimal standard.
Hotte I agree. I have bean moaning about poor photography on many recent sets on this site for quite a while now. However many subscribers reply by saying that as ART appears in the site name this somehow means that subscibers must be happy and willing to put up with any old rubbish photo-shoot (in the name of ART) which would not been acceptable on other sites, even those sites promoted by this site. The more the members of this site keep silent on this matter and evidently seem content in looking at tat then the more third-rate rubbish (not of a standard higher enough to be included on other sites) will be dished out on them.
Yo, tintin --
I agree. This is supposed to be THE #1 SITE for fine photography, where beauty meets fine art. Blurry and dark somehow doesn't seem to go with that slogan
What a crock a shit! The membership has hardly remained 'silent' on this issue! People bitch ALL the time about the quality of the photos here, and look how much good it's done them. "Art" is art, and "porn" is porn! Most, if not all the photographers that are 'regular contributors' here do a great job of blending the two together, with heavy focus on the "artistic" aspect of the female body. If you don't understand this and object to the "artistic license" that they take when creating these sets, I suspect you're on the wrong site. "Third rate rubbish"!? That's not only an insult to the site, but the girls that model for them. If that's what you see here, why would you continue to pay for it and spend your time complaining about it? I've done my share of bitching since I joined the site, to be sure, but after seeing some of the nonsense that people put in these comments, I've toned it way down and take what I like and leave the rest. Now I only bitch about people's ignorance and lack of respect for some very talented people. And let's not forget that the photographers are told to include 'a little something for every taste', including even the 'armpit stubble guy'. I COULD bitch about all the shots of feet, or that some of the sets focus too much on a particular part of the models anatomy (big tits for example!), but better to just enjoy what I like and not complain about what I don't like.. It makes for a much happier experience(until I make the mistake of reading the comments!).
Hey Rockhard
You haven't directed your comments at me in a long time. Let's keep it that way please. I haven't forgotten that one about "Don't comment. Just look. " Since you're just a username on a forum and as I cant ask you to step outside, and as I stated before I will go to Metart and let them know that one of us has to go.
You're an idiot.
Agreed -- agreed!
Why would any woman, let alone a nude model, want to have any tatoos especially where these are located? Whist a few European models have small insignificant tatoos, even they are in the minority as most do not have any at all. American models in the main seem to be much more keen in ruining their bodies with hideously grotesque unappealing tatoos (and [in general] for that matter ridiculously inflated dreadful enlarged breasts). There is no doubt whatsoever that these are the reasons why nude-art (and porn) which feature American women sells considerably less well in Europe than stuff featuring European only women. Indeed if this site only featured American women who had tatoos or enhanced breasts or both then I for one would not renew my subscription. (I can guess what response this will invoke, but I guess it has to be said otherwise American models will never know).
I don't dislike tatoos on women per se. But like any important decision, tatoos should be the result of thoughtful consideration and not an adolescent whim. I don't like seeing an attractive model with a tatoo that appears to be the result of a careless decision of youth. On the other hand, I've seen models where a good choice of tatoos enhances their sexuality.
Some women look good with tatoos. Others don't. Personally, I think tatoos tend to look best on light skinned, thin girls. A woman with an exceptionally beautiful body usually looks best without any ink at all.
While I think Malena falls into the category of "exceptionally beautiful body", I would personally find her more attractive with no tatoos. But I don't object to her having tatoos so much as I just don't like her choices.
When my daughter was a freshman in college, she wanted to get a tatoo. I didn't "forbid" it but I did make it clear that as long as I was supporting her, she couldn't get one. I told her at which time she was supporting herself, if she still wanted a tatoo, I wouldn't object. My real reason for this ploy was very simple - don't encourage an 18 year old to get some "patented" tatoo chosen off a wall display at a strip center tatoo parlor. Fashions and trends change constantly... unlike a pair of shoes that can be thrown out when they are no longer in vogue, a tatoo is not so easily discarded. Tatoos shouldn't be chosen in the same manner as a new pair of cute earrings, but instead be the result of a careful decision that makes a personal, artistic expression that goes beyond "look what I got while I was at the mall".
Oddly enough, I sometimes find tatoos on women to be very sexy when they are what most would consider to be "excessive". Too often, one or two smaller tatoos express nothing more than being a slave to fads. While a lot of you may disagree, anyone familiar with "Suicide Girls" will at least know what I'm talking about. There are several girls on that site, covered in ink, I find to be insanely attractive. And, at the same time, I think Malena would be more attractive with no tatoos at all. Weird, isn't it.
i like neither tattoos nor enhanced or modified breasts
Just for the record --
I'm with tintin. I do not favor tattoos.
Personally, I could do without the tattoos, but I accept them because it is currently a popular trend, just as removing pubic hair is with the majority of younger women (although I enjoy that trend).
In the case of Malena, its not like she has a sleeve or anything major. At least Met didn't try to airbrush them out this time, like they have in previous sets with this model. THATS what I object to, the futile attempt we have all seen here to doctor up the models' imperfections. I want to see REAL women, and real women have skin blemishes, tattoos and irritation from shaving. I'd rather see the real Malena, tattoos and all.
Well said tintin, I stopped subscribing to Playboy for that very reason, gorgeous bodies defiled by inky doodlings; no thank you. Really cannot stand the ugly things which surely are personal to the person displaying them but often of no interest to anybody else and of no artistic merit especially in a nude art site like this. MetArt please ban the grotesque things once and for all!!
Yo, rufusredneck --
I agree about PLAYBOY. I'm not into those trendy tattoos -- and I finally gave up waiting for Playmates with natural breasts. Years ago, Hefner would not allow "plastic playmates". Now it appears to be hard to find "natural" girls to pose for the magazine. They pretty much look all the same -- big and round. A buddy of mine calls them "fun bags" because they have so little shape to them.
I can't get my thumb down far enough for this one! The "real world" is just too much for some people, so they live in a fantasy world where only their views are valid. You certainly have the 'right to say what you think' here, but don't confuse your opinion with facts.
The facts are as stated. To be more precise in 2011 European nude-art and porn out sold in Europe similar stuff that was produced in America at a ratio 7 to 1 - something American models should take on board! Moreover some stockists in Europe have now stopped stocking American made stuff altogether as it sells so poorly. Evidently Europeans seem not to like ugly tatoos nor blown up breasts to the same degree as Americans seem to like them. Moreover, as most European models work depends on not mutilating their bodies (something which seems not to apply to American models), then they conform with what the paying customer wants, and thus dont disfigure their bodies with ugly tatoos nor pumped up ridiculously looking breasts either.
I'm an American, and I don't like big fake tits, or tattoos, either. I prefer natural beauty.
If this is indeed a "fact", do you believe it has everything to do with tattoos or fake tits? I seriously doubt it. "American" porn no doubt out sells "European" porn in THIS country, as would be expected. I suspect European men prefer the 'natural' look of their models, as opposed to the 'plastic' look of so many American models with all their make-up and gaudy outfits, and those 'fake tits' that are so popular with American men. But I've seen a lot of European porn and seen LOTS of tattoos on the models...especially the Czechs. Tattoos are just as popular in Europe as they are here...maybe more so, but we only get to see a fraction of them because not ALL European women are doing nude 'art' photos or porn. And we can all agree on the 'over inflated fake tits'... If anything needs to be 'banned', I vote for those!!
One thing I forgot to mention....the assertion that a tattoo qualifies as "mutilating" a body is just plain stupid!
I am in complete agreement.
So am I.
I'm not a big fan of the tats, but I could spend a good chunk of the morning, looking at Malena on all fours.
great shoes nice to see such a lovely lady on a glorious summers day
Tattoos are fine on some people. Everyone has the right, but getting tattoos next to your pussy when you are a nude model? Probably not such a good idea. Malena, you're still beautiful.
I am not sure if the rear was meant to be photographed half hidden which is a shame. Could have been classic shots. Focussing is soft in places.
I agree with the pics that hide the best parts, the whole body! She is so beautiful and love to see all of her. Some of the pics are soft when you see them in full view.
Gorgeous woman. I love the gymnastic poses at the end of the set. IMHO the tattoos were a bad decision. Lovely smile!
I tend too agree with Myshkin about the tattoo's i remember her 1st series with MetArt Malena had skin grafts hiding her original ones her skimpy outfit hid most of the scars.As a female member i don't mind tattoo's on women as long they are tastefull and hidden until she wishes to show them off as for the poses they are very gymnastic towards the end of the series but i love the way she slowly peels off her clothing revealing her firm perky breasts,nipples erected and spreadibg her legs wide for all to see her pussy lips,etc she does have a very seductive face and smile too ;)
Skin grafts and scars? That have now been un-done?? No, just make-up and digital editing.
But I don't understand why M-A decided to stop covering them up. She's otherwise nearly perfect.
I simply don't understand why women feel the need to get tattooed.
At least YOU admit that you "don't understand" the 'motivation'. I suspect it's the same as any "man's" motivation, which is as varied as the people that get them. "Body art" has been around for thousands of years, and it's popularity comes and goes, but the 'haters' remain the same...'ignorant and self-righteous'! So you'd have to KNOW the person to understand what THEIR motivation was and not jump to some ridiculous conclusion about their character or their judgement. Thanks for being honest. ;o)
rockhard, I agree with you. Just because a woman displays her body to me for money (and, maybe, a bit of an exhibitionistic thrill, like some nude/porn models seem to enjoy) it does not follow that she is going to agree -- or, even, care -- about my personal tastes. Sometimes these tastes coincide and I get a bit of a thrill-- hence, my subscription to MetArt.
But, just because I don't like viewing tattoos or artificially enhanced breasts in my porn (for the record, I too prefer none of either) this does not mean these models live their lives to please me, and every bit as much as I enjoy my tats, I'm sure theirs are just as meaningful to them.

Inside the Lyric Theatre on La Brea, the compact Sheri Sanders is curled in a chair, squinting her eyes and smiling almost apologetically at the nervous girl in Uggs onstage who keeps forgetting her lyrics. "I hate to be a cunt," Sanders murmurs. "I hate to be a bitch. But this is unacceptable." She purrs the words so sweetly their meaning almost doesn't register.
Welcome to Rock the Audition, the master class Sanders tours the country teaching. An actor who has been on Broadway and national tours with Fame and Urinetown, she wrote her first book, Rock the Audition: How to Prepare for and Get Cast in Rock Musicals, based on a class she developed at New York's Pace University in the mid-'00s. Rock musicals were beginning to dominate Broadway, and training hadn't caught up. She had found her niche.
Earlier this week, we sat in on the third class of her four-week session. Here, 10 things we learned about auditioning for a rock musical:
10. Prepare.
According to Sanders, there's been an American Idol-ization of auditioning for musicals. Actors think they can just walk in off the street without preparation. "You can riff a little bit, you can groove. Show them you have flavor," she says. But know your lyrics, and don't just walk in and throw your music at the pianist.
9. Remember, you aren't playing Adele.
"Because rock music doesn't come from a musical, there's no character in the song," Sanders says. You aren't playing Beyonce or Usher; you have to make yourself the character. A pop balladeer might sing about being sad an entire song. But, as music director Jesse Vargas notes, "No one is ever going to write a song in a musical just about being sad. A decision will be made." So find a way to bring a change of emotion into whatever pop-rock song you choose.
8. Show them you're a good time.
If you sound incredible, but have no personality, maybe you'll get called back ... for a chorus part. "But we want leads!" Sanders shouts. That doesn't mean you do a Chris Brown-worthy dance routine during your audition. But make them feel like they'd want to get a drink with you after a 12-hour rehearsal.
7. Consider the accompanist your lover.
Talk to him. When you tell him how you want the song to be played, think of it as telling a new lover, "This is how I want you to touch my body," Sanders says. Bounce to show him the tempo you want. Slap time onto your thigh to show him the rhythm you have in mind. And while you're doing so, watch him to make sure he's getting it.
6. Let Janis Joplin be your guide.
What was Janis Joplin thinking about when she was singing? "Whiskey and fuckin'!" Sanders hollers. Well, yeah, she probably was. Sanders' point is, get out of your head. Don't calculate how much fun to have. When you stop overthinking every decision, life is much more interesting -- for the creative directors auditioning you, and yourself.
5. Make sure the song you choose puts forth the image you want to project.
When Sanders was sitting in on the auditions for American Idiot, the musical based on Green Day's album of the same name, she saw a lot of women audition with songs like Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." "What does that tell me?" she says. "That you're angry and like to give blow jobs?" Instead, choose a song -- like the student that night who sang Gavin DeGraw's "Sweeter" -- that shows you can be naughty while still leaving a little to the imagination.
4. Think of your first kiss.
You didn't know what you were doing then, either -- but you went ahead and did it, even if you made mistakes. "You just gotta do it, and go full out. They want booty-shakin', big pimpin', Cristal drinkin'," Sanders encourages a prim, sweet girl singing Pink's "Respect." You'll learn from your stumbles as much as from your successes. And just like kissing, the more you practice, the better you become.
3. Don't sing a song from the musical.
If you come to a Rent audition with Maureen's "Take Me or Leave Me," they'll think you only want to be considered for that one role. Plenty of outside factors are conspiring against you; why take yourself out of the running for all the other parts?
2. "Don't stick your dick in my mouth before we've even kissed."
This is Sanders', um, colorful way of saying, "Don't begin a song belting." If you do, you have nowhere to go. Warm the audience up; caress and tease them before you climax. When you finally whip out your big ol' voice, they'll be ready.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
1. Avoid overdone songs like the plague.
If you want to set yourself up to be compared to Dusty Springfield and the 342 girls who've already auditioned that day, go ahead and sing "Son of a Preacher Man." It's your career's funeral.
Sheri Sanders' final master class is Monday night at the Lyric Theatre, 520 N. La Brea, from 7-11 p.m. Attending/auditing the class is $15. Email Amy Rowell at email@example.com. See www.rock-the-audition.com for more details.

A library is considered to be fundamental in the mental and educational growth of a human being. Moreover, a community library is a space where the public can seek knowledge, information, and enjoyment. As they say, information is power, and in that regard, a good reading culture will set you on a path towards excellence. However, it is important to ensure that the library to which you ascribe is of supreme quality. All the best libraries have certain qualities that enable them to operate efficiently and thereby meet the needs of different users with diverse interests. Your community library should create a substantive ground for you to explore, develop and discover your passion and interests.
In this regard, you ought to find help here in order to be mindful of the various qualities of a great library, and the primary ones are enlisted as follows;
Books selection
The bottom line here is that the library must have diversity in their books. The library should endeavor to classify their content as follows;
Children books
In this category, it is prudent to have fables and fairy tales for younger children. Also, in this classification, it is important to have books based on travels, adventures inventions, parallel textbooks, biographies, and dictionaries for the older children.
Teachers' books
This section will contain books that represent different educational faculties, and therefore any teacher will have his specialty. Such can be based on the curriculum that the community subscribes to.
Adult books
The community library must also cater to adults such that you can find music, DVDs, and Microfilms which are relevant to the locals. This section will also have biographies and nonfictional titles.
The library should be able to give readers a serene ambiance that is conducive for their studies. Equipment includes shelves, furniture, graphic pictures, flowers, and computers. The room should have fresh air and refurbished basic amenities like washrooms.
It is important to have a librarian that has a good educational background. The staff must also exude professionalism and adequate knowledge to enable them to discharge their duties effectively. They must also have skills in cataloging and indexing so that they keep order and assist the readers therein.
Library rules
A community library must have sufficient rules in order to instill order among the staff and readers. Without such rules, the library could be rendered dysfunctional. Therefore it is important to have library periods, lending policies and methods of distribution. Cataloging is also critical in expediting the book selection process.

While the Terminator franchise is one of the most beloved franchises in the industry, one thing that is worth noting is that Terminator 2 is the only film in the franchise that has alternate versions of it released. There has been the theatrical version. Then there was the special edition which featured extra scenes. Some of them were shown in the original theatrical trailers for the film. Either way, the special editions of the film has shown scenes that have fleshed out some of the other characters. It made an already great story even better.
Now, Terminator 2 is getting yet another re-release. This time, it is going to be in 3D. However, there is no telling if it is going to be the original theatrical edit that is going to be released in theaters or the special edition with an extra amount of footage in it. Seeing that it is James Cameron that is behind this process, one could expect that the 3D is going to be nothing short of amazing.
Even the first Terminator film has only one version of it released. However, it was perfect in its pacing. The DVD release does have a few deleted scenes to go along with it. There were also rumors of alternate versions of Terminaror 3. However, those alternate versions have never seen the light of day. Therefore, the released version of Terminator 3 remains the only available version of the film. Even though Terminator 3 failed to live up to the glory of its predecessor, there are still some good aspects of the film. Even Terminator Salvation had something good to deliver in spite of its execution. Terminator Genisys is probably the one that had absolutely nothing new or good to add to the franchise.
Sometime in 2017, Terminator 2 is going to be re-released. Audiences will get to experience their favorite entry on the big screen again. They will also get to experience it like they never have before.
I'll be back, in 3D. James Cameron's hit film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is going to be re-released in 3D next year. Even though the Terminator franchise has continued on long after James Cameron left, none of the later films have lived up to the glory of the first two films. For one thing, Terminator 2 was not only a good story, but it also had some ground breaking visual effects. These effects not only stand the test of time, but they are more amazing than Terminator Genisys which was made more than 20 years after James Cameron's masterpiece.
There has also been another 3D venture based on Terminator 2. This was called T23D. However, this is not the exact same as the blockbuster movie. This was actually a special film shot for the theme park. It showed John Connor and the Terminator fighting skynet. This is actually, the first showing of Terminator 2 in 3D. It would be a great experience for many to see their favorite franchise on the big screen again. Many people will relive their experience of seeing the franchise's most beloved film on the big screen. Also, since James Cameron is really good when it comes to the technicalities, one can expect that the results are going to work well for the film.
Another thing to consider about Terminator 2 in 3D is that it could also be seen as the studio admitting that the most recent films have not lived up to the glory of James Cameron's masterpiece. Therefore, they are releasing something that id going to give the audience something to remind them of the days when it was expected for a Terminator to be nothing short of amazing.
One of the interesting aspects of Terminator 2 is that it was a long chase. It also had a story of a father figure at its heart. This is perhaps one of the aspects of the first two Terminator films that made them so great. They were not just about action like the rest of the films were. However, Terminator Salvation was a noble effort in taking the series in a new direction.

"Lengthening the Cords and Strengthening the Stakes: Renewing and Planting Local Churches" was the 2008 National Founders Conference title.
As their logo says, Founders is committed to Historic Baptist Principles. During their conferences they highlight those priniciples with solid biblical teaching. That proves true again in this conference. As I listened to it I kept thinking of people that I wanted to give it to.
There are nine parts to the conference. There is slightly more emphasis on church planting than church renewal/reform. Most of the presentations are exceptional. As with any conference, there are a few things that over extend themselves enough to be questionable. But as with any good conference. The encouragement, instruction and direction far outweigh what might be questionable.
Ed Stetzer gives the two main addresses, Lengthening the Cords and Strengthening the Stakes. He arrouses the need for church planting, especially among those who can propagate sound teaching. Although his sections are the ones I tended to think streched Scripture too far, He still proves that much more focus on church planting is needed in churches today.
Voddie Baucham focuses on Building a Solid Doctrinal Foundation. As much as we can separate the church planting section of this conference from the church reform part, Baucham's lecture is heart of the church planting section.
Andy Davis' and Don Whitney's presentations are the highlights of the conference. They give practical, insightful, experiential application of God's word. They focus on the reform of the church which easily translates into new church planting as well. These three messages are the reason I recommend this conference so highly.
Audio for "Lengthening the Cords and Strengthening the Stakes: Renewing and Planting Local Churches" is on the 2008 National Founders Conference title webpage.

I own a Mercedes Benz 300e that I bought for my wife for $1700. At that point it had 249,000 miles on it. Before we owned it, it had been sitting for some years and had a acceleration delay issue. Once we got it back on the road I added fuel injector cleaner and drove it hard on the highway. Now the issue only appears before its fully warmed up to operating temperature. She did not want it back and after a while I ended up driving it for work (she stole my Range Rover!). I would beat on it on a regular basis but now miraculously, it drives better than ever! As a matter of fact, it will not die!!! I decided that I liked it but just couldn't get over driving a four door so I bought a 300ce in hopes that it will be just as tough but cooler being a two door coupe. We will see what happens, I'll let you know!

I have this Mercedes-Benz 1990 3000E all of sudden out of no were, the car was on park went to put in reverse the park car would not move! Had no signs of tranny problems at all! No leaks at all! car runs awesome until this! mileage is 168000! What could this be?
By on 10/16/12 | Fairfield, CA
I've had my 92' 300E with the 3 liter engine for close to 15 years now and it now has 248,000 miles on it. I've only had the standard repairs to perform for a car of this age (radiator, alternator, belts) all self repaired/replaced. The only small annoyance is the need to add oil, about 2 quarts/month, but I've accepted it. The car still runs strong and rides well. It's getting close to time for a replacement but it's a tough car to replace what with its proven reliability through all the years. I'm looking at another E Class, just a bit newer. Mercedes did a good job with this class

Car is very dependable when it's running. Strong engine at 170K miles, but I do find that it has a problem with the air conditioner sometimes blowing and sometimes not. It happens quite frequently. I also have noticed that it leaks transmission fluid if it sits for more than a week or so. Those are the two problems that I have encountered with this vehicle at this juncture. I love the way it handles and its heavy enough to handle the road very well. I would buy another one with less miles if it came available.

My dad gave me the keys to his 1991 300E, in 2008. He's retired now, and I think he got tired of maintaining it. I've spent several thousands to keep it on the road. I don't regret a dime I've spent. The exterior and interior condition is in great condition. It has a slight oil leak, which I've decided to leave it alone. My trusty German motor mechanic fixed the problem twice in the last 2 years. He said old cars will leak. Just had the suspension replaced at 188,000. My '91 300E is heavy and built like a tank. I love that it's low-tech, from the analog clock to the clickety-click turn signal. Owners of the new E350 sometimes honk and wave at me,approvingly, as they pass by. I have to remind myself that it's not me. It's the car.

117000 miles and no leaks, drips, or bad concerns. New brakes ,rotors and tires, but I am uncertain what a 120K mile maintenance should entail and cost. First time user and new Mercedes owner. Vehicle is a 300E 4Matic. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
By on 3/5/09 | Croton On Hudson, NY
I have a 4-matic so a bit diffrent. I love the car even with the problems it has truthfully for a car that once cost $40000+ New and still somewhat have a value and a demand for well can't really complain about it. Only issues i have is the front suspension bushings go bad prematurely especially 4matic, which also bring me to the front brakes causing vibration and squeaking after 50% spent which can be fixed by getting vented disks and good quality pad. The headgasket has been done as well which for anyone that does it no matter what a mechanic tells you you must have the head plained to make sure you have a even match or else the leak will come back. The car for the milage i have 201,000 i cannot complain because for another type of car that had the same i am sure the quality of parts would not hold up to the test of time like a 1990 Mercedes 300E.

The prekindergarten program views young gifted learners as curious, competent, and engaged researchers who socially construct knowledge through interactions with their environment and other people. An emphasis on positive relationships is central while students problem-solve, collaborate, and play with others who have equally strong interests, perspectives, and viewpoints.
The prekindergarten program follows The Nueva School calendar. Starting in 2017-2018, the program will run Monday-Friday, from 8:30am to 3:25pm.
During their time in school, children explore ideas, concepts, and extended study topics through a variety of mediums (e.g., math, visual arts, sand, wood, dramatic play, and writing), allowing teachers to more fully understand children's meanings, support their efforts, guide learning, and ask better questions.
The curriculum integrates the concept that children engage in more than just internal, solitary, and cognitive processing when at school. They process knowledge socially as they reflect, revisit, and revamp ideas and theories with classmates. The curriculum is flexible and emergent -- open to change and adjustment -- as teachers, children, and parents consistently communicate. This flexibility is woven into a strong background of planning that helps scaffold a study path.
Children's interests generate and guide specific investigations. Teachers dovetail their own foci with student's interests to provide a curriculum frame. Ongoing documentation is essential, as it provides a focus for reflection and for planning learning experiences. Documentation also allows the educational process to be visible to and shared with the school community to highlight children's depth of learning.
Parents play an integral role and participate in the educational process. Meaningful involvement is available in many ways, from ongoing classroom participation to liaison work with the Nueva Parents Association.

SEOUL, March 3 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday launched two short-range missiles on its east coast, local media reported.
The DPRK fired off two short-range ballistic missiles, believed to be of Scud-C type, for 10 minutes from 6:19 a.m. local time Monday at Gitaeryeong and Wonsan areas in the DPRK's southeast coast.
The missiles, fired toward northeastern waters, were believed to be of Scud-C type as they flew more than 500 km.
On Feb. 27, the DPRK fired four short-range missiles, allegedly of Scud-type missiles, from the same area. The four missiles flew around 220 km at an altitude of 60-70 km.
The DPRK reportedly has around 700 missiles of 300-km-range Scud-B type and of 500-km-range Scud-C type. It also has Scud-ER missiles, a modifier of Scud-D missiles, with a range of more than 700 km.
South Koreas Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said that the launch was seen as "intended provocation" as the incident came after annual war games between Seoul and Washington began.
South Korea and the United States began their annual joint war games as scheduled despite the DPRK's demand for the delay or cancellation of the drills.
The "Key Resolve" command post exercise and the "Foal Eagle" field training exercise started in the morning on Feb. 24, with participation of 12,700 U.S. soldiers, including more than 6,000 forces from overseas bases.
A DPRK patrol ship intruded into the disputed inter-Korean maritime border at night on Feb. 24, local media reported.

Some considerations to make when buying Audi car insurance include the insurer's reputation and the buyer's driving record, says Edmunds.com. The safety rating and known problems in a particular Audi model may increase the cost of insurance, according to BuyAutoInsurance.com. The value of the vehicle and its performance are also worth considering when searching for an insurer, states Autotrader.Continue Reading
A person's driving habits factor into the value or type of coverage he should buy. If a person has a long daily commute, he should consider getting complete coverage due to the increased risk of an accident, suggests Edmunds.com. Before buying car insurance, a person should review his driving record to identify the speeding tickets he has because a bad driving record drives up the cost of insurance.
Researching the price of insurance from multiple insurers and making comparisons helps a buyer find competitive quotes, says Edmunds.com. Once a person finds a suitable insurer, he should determine the company's ability to settle claims by reviewing its financial strength ratings on a site such as A.M. Best, and how the insurer is likely to treat him based on existing customer surveys on review sites such as J.D. Power and Consumer Reports.
Insurers peg insurance rates on the vehicle's value. An expensive vehicle is costly to repair in case of an accident, which means a greater burden on the insurer and higher insurance costs. The car's intended use and performance affect the rate of insurance a buyer is likely to pay, explains Autotrader.Learn more about Vehicle Insurance

Showcasing the crew's diversity, the mix runs through Reggae, dub, dubstep, dancehall, trap, hip-hop, drum and bass and even some steelpan made in Port of Spain, Trinidad, with pannist Derron Ellies. Things start out with "Vybz Wa Yuh Feel," a track featured in Part 2 of our Meditations video seriesfeaturing Addis Pablo and Jesse Royal (Watch Part One starring Ras Jammy and Jesse Royal here) which premieres Wednesday.
Many of Addis' colleagues from Jamaica's youthful reggae revival make appearances, including Chronixx, Protoje, Kabaka Pyramid, Kelissa and Jah 9, as do Bob Marley, who gets a Suns of Dub remix of "Waiting in Vain" featuring Addis' melodica, and Slum Village (their "Fall in Love" is remixed).
Walshy and Suns of Dub being LargeUp family, they've given us the exclusive premiere for the project, right here. Download, listen, enjoy and look out for more Suns of Dub on LargeUp soon.

Mental health is a national public health priority for Scotland and until recently, there had been no assessment of the overall mental health of Scotland's population.
In order to establish baseline levels of population mental health and to track change over time, NHS Health Scotland was commissioned by the Scottish Government's National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing (external link) to establish a core set of national mental health indicators to support the Scottish Governments drive in mental health improvement.
A set of adult mental health indicators was established and finalised in December 2007. These indicators covered both positive mental health (mental wellbeing) as well as mental health problems and were structured under categories of two types –
Data is currently collected on many of the indicators at a national level through national surveys. The main national surveys currently used for data collection amongst adults are the Scottish Health Survey and Scottish Household survey.
To read more about the adult mental health indicators or to access the most recent reports and findings visit the NHS Health Scotland adult indicators pages (external site)
Whilst mental health is monitored at a national level, there is considerable interest in measuring and monitoring mental health, including mental wellbeing, at a local level.
A good starting point for measuring mental health at a local level is to make maximum use of the data that is already available for the local area of interest. Currently this is quite limited especially for areas smaller than NHS boards and Local Authorities.
National surveys are increasingly seeking to be responsive to local area needs. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) has been included in the Scottish Health Survey (SheS) for adults since 2008 and for 13 to 15 years olds from 2012. For smaller local authority areas, inclusion of WEMWBS in the Scottish Household Survey from 2009 will provide data on mental wellbeing for all local authorities, regardless of size.
NB: Analysis of mental wellbeing is available for all NHS Boards since 2012; however in some of the smaller Local Authority analysis is not possible due to small sample sizes.
Other mental health indicators are separated at a regional level. The briefing paper 'Monitoring of mental health locally: Sub-national availability of data for the national mental health indicators for adults' will help local areas when making decisions about local mental health indicators. This paper indicates the main sub-national geographies at which the data for the national mental health indicators are available. However, surveys are reviewed and revised on a regular basis so for the latest information contact the survey teams directly.
The Scottish Health Survey (external link) also produced a paper 'Scottish Health Survey Analysis by Local Authority or Health Board (2009)' which summarises when results for different sub-national geographies are available.

I keep bumping into people who are surprised that SHRM gave press credentials to a blogger. I'm here to tell you that SHRM gets a bad rap in that area. The SHRM external media affairs group came through with flying colors and were very kind to me. Maybe they know that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Speaking of bad publicity: I'm here in the press lounge and I'm listening to some dude in a navy blazer interviewing another dude in a sporty blazer. I'm feeling like a fish out of water. Some woman shushed me because I was talking too loudly. "We're doing a recorded interview."
More rules. This place is so rulesy.
The good news is that I just bumped into John Hollon of Workforce Management. He's a super nice guy — very warm & inviting. I also met the VPI Pet Insurance team. I could never be a sales manager, but if I had to sell something, it would be pet insurance.
Shout outs: The Blue Man Group gave me a bottle of liquid hand sanitizer (and talked about their corporate events division!), YohHR Solutions had a booth that gave away Etch-A-Sketch keychains, and the dudes at Saratoga were very nice and spent time talking to me about the usefulness (or not) of statistics.
Finally, a huge SHOUT OUT to the Totally Chocolate team for giving me a chocolate medallian. I'm giving up business cards forever and moving straight to chocolate.

As a school strongly rooted in the arts, it is only natural that Le Jardin Academy celebrates with an annual Arts Festival. For the past eight years, Le Jardin has boasted an event in which all of the arts are showcased, including painting, sculpture, drama and music. This year's event, on May 17, promises to be another fun-filled fete.
Faculty adviser

The most difficult part of the Arts Festival is "finishing in time for the deadline," Devitt said. "We have basically 2 1/2 days to hang roughly 2,500 works of art."
The final outcome, however, makes up for all the stress.
"It is one of my proudest teaching moments," Devitt said. "The students have an opportunity to see their whole portfolio on display in a very professional setting. I have never seen such an impressive student show."
Each student in lower-school art also gets to choose a piece to showcase in the Arts Festival, whether it is a painting, sculpture or drawing. In addition, each grade has created a collaborative piece that will be displayed. "The kindergartners and first-graders are doing a ceramic tile piece where everybody creates one tile," said Janice Corsino, one of the lower-school art teachers.
"And the second-graders are making a sand painting," added art teacher Linda Garbisch.
"The kids really have a different perspective of their work when it's framed and on the wall. They get to stand next to it and have their 'brag time,'" Corsino said.
Drama and music students are featured in the Arts Festival, as well.
"It's nice to see all of our performing arts collectively -- actors, singers and musicians in the band," said senior Alana Mueller.
"This year the students will perform excerpts from 'Madhouse Jazz,' the play we created with the jazz band and choir," said Robert St. John, high school drama teacher.
"It's an opportunity to showcase the quirkiness of our theater program," emphasized senior drama student Brita Hofwolt, who plays a nun who runs a mental asylum.
"The play is set in 1929 and tells the story of a Prohibition-era gangster who invests in a supernaturally talented Russian boxer," St. John said. "It was a lot of fun writing a play that thematically incorporates the music of an era, and working with the directors of jazz band and chorus."
John Lundgren is LJA's middle- and high-school band teacher, and Louie Mundy teaches middle- and high-school chorus and dance.
Middle-school drama teacher Gretchen Nilsen added, "It's great seeing all the different arts come together." Nilsen's seventh- and eighth-grade drama classes will present scenes from their recent productions, "I Can't Go Out There!" by Burton Bumgarner, and "Cut," by Ed Monk.
The public is invited to the show on the Le Jardin campus at 917 Kalanianaole Highway in Kailua, May 17 from 3 to 6 p.m. The ukulele performance and middle-school drama presentations are in the middle school at 3:30, and the high school music and drama classes perform in the auditorium from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
For more than two decades, Beverly Allen has been strumming ukulele with her students at Le Jardin Academy. From a small choir in the 1980s, Allen has expanded her ukulele program to include two choirs, singers, dancers and other musicians such as a bass player and an occasional trumpet player.
The LJA Ukulele Choir initiated an exchange program called "Music Brings Us Together" with the Konan Boys High School, a private music school in Japan. Every other year the Ukulele Choir visits the Konan Boys' Jazz Ensemble on their home turf in Japan. On alternate years the Jazz Ensemble comes to Oahu.
On March 27 the Konan boys arrived here in Hawaii and stayed with Le Jardin families. Senior Jessica Sutton's family hosted two boys, Batao and Inoru, for five nights. Even though no one in the family speaks Japanese, it wasn't difficult to communicate.
"My mom did take Japanese in high school," Jessica said, "but all she really remembers is 'atsui,'" which means hot, "and goodbye, hello, good morning and wait a minute, please."
Luckily, both boys' English was quite good, Jessica said, and they filled in the gaps with hand gestures.
The Suttons gave the two boys a taste of Le Jardin life and took them along to the grocery store, the beach, Pinky's restaurant, the Kaneohe sandbar and a barbecue.
"Although it was frustrating at times," said Jessica, "I think it was a really great and fun experience for both my family and the students."
When LJA students go to Japan, they have just as much fun. Two years ago senior Emily Wong took part in the Ukulele Choir's trip to Japan.
"I had never been to Japan," said Emily, "and it seemed like it was going to be a lot of fun." As the Japanese students do here, Emily stayed with a host family. One of the children in her host family, Taro, played saxophone in the Konan band.
The Japanese are not only welcoming, but exceptionally appreciative. Allen remembers one concert where people were lined up, waiting to get in, "all the way outside and down the street." The LJA choir was pictured on a sign titled "Hawaiian Singing Breeze."
"The kids thought they had died and gone to heaven," said Allen. The audience even asked the choir for autographs.
The LJA students study Japanese culture before leaving for Japan because they stay as Japanese house guests.
"They have to learn how to enter the home," Allen said. They also learn Japanese etiquette such as proper table manners and proper greetings.
Students can join the Ukulele Choir as early as second grade. Fifth-grader Kelly Fricke finds the ukulele a gratifying instrument.
"It's something you can work towards and get better at," said Kelly.
Malia Belnap, also a fifth-grader, adds that it is a unique instrument. A unique skill the choir learns is playing the ukulele behind the head, a show-stopper that has wowed audiences for years.
When Allen joined the Le Jardin staff in the early '70s, the founder, Madame Neil, required all LJA teachers to play the ukulele. Ironically, Allen learned the ukulele in Canada and later started LJA's first ukulele exchange program, Hands Across the Sea, with schools in British Columbia. She did not anticipate that the humble ukulele choir would lead into an international music program.
"Now I'd miss it if we didn't have it as a part of our school," she said. "The ukulele choir attracts very special people who dare to do something different."

Steeped in colonial history, Parramatta was an elegant and peaceful escape from bustling Sydney Town. It was also the food bowl of the early colony, and has a rich Aboriginal heritage. Along the streets of its bustling modern CBD, Parramatta still holds onto its rich history.
The Lennox celebrates the history of its site, where the Lennox Bridge crosses the Parramatta River. Completed in 1839, it was the first major crossing of the river. The craftsmanship of its architect David Lennox lives on through the bridge's elegant design, typical of the sandstone and Georgian architecture of early Parramatta.
The authentic and detailed craftsmanship of those colonial days also lies within the walls of The Lennox. Each element has been conceived with the finest attention to every detail - from the quality of materials to the individuality of each residence's design.
The City of Parramatta Council's vision to build Australia's next great city is becoming a reality. From the Western Sydney Light Rail Network to the $2 billion Parramatta Square urban renewal and the eat street initiative, the city is undergoing a massive transformation. At the river end of Church Street, the Lennox and its surrounding precinct will bring new life to the waterfront.
EQ Projects has a combined 100 years' experience developing and building premium residential and commercial projects in the Upper North Shore and Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, including the renovation and restoration of the iconic Icebergs at Bondi Beach. They draw on this to bring to The Lennox a point of difference when it comes to quality, and a vision that reflects the tastes and trends of a luxury Sydney lifestyle.
Established in 1991, LIDIS is a specialist real estate firm with extensive property development and investment experience that spans three generations. The team has been the driving force behind The Lennox since its conception, drawing on their expertise in creative solutions to manage the development of this landmark in an exciting new era for Parramatta.

The Issue: Writer Kevin Williamson, who stopped a rude theatergoer by tossing her cellphone.
I'd love it if cellphone vigilante Kevin Williamson ran for mayor ("The Making of a Mayor," Editorial, May 18).
Almost anyone would be better than Nanny Bloomberg.
When he announced his candidacy for mayor in 1965, a reporter asked William F. Buckley Jr. what he would do if he won the race. He replied: "Demand a recount."
Joseph DeMartino
The Bronx
Bravo, Williamson!
He should have tossed the rude cellphone user along with her phone.
The cellphone has become the tool of millions of intrusive and rude morons. I am tired of listening to blabbing boobs loudly describing anything from marital troubles to inane weekend plans for all to hear.
The next time you are within earshot of a public babbler, check to see if he/she is carrying a book. It is very unlikely, since this type of creature is likely an illiterate solipsist.
I was a friend of Bill Buckley and worked on his campaign for mayor.
I stand ready to join a "Williamson for Mayor" effort and its promotion of civility over boorishness. Three cheers for the hope someday of a return to public peace and quiet.

UNC student associations stand against gun proposal
(Winston-Salem Journal) — Student government associations from 11 of the 17 schools in the University of North Carolina system announced their opposition Wednesday morning to House Bill 937 in a proclamation sent to members of the N.C. General Assembly.
The bill, which would allow concealed-carry permit holders to keep firearms in locked vehicles on college campuses, is currently in conference committee.
The proclamation was signed by the student body presidents at Appalachian State University, East Carolina University, North Carolina Central University, UNC Asheville, UNC Charlotte, UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, UNC School of the Arts, Winston-Salem State University and North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
Additionally, Robert Nunnery, president of the UNC system Association of Student Governments, also signed.
In addition to the proclamation, Dylan Russell, the student body president at Appalachian State, also sent a personal letter to members of the House and Senate about his concerns with House Bill 937.
"College is a time filled with many new experiences, and sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. I personally do not believe that by having guns more accessible to college students we will be making campuses safer," Russell, a rising senior, said.
Nunnery said that Russell spearheaded the efforts when the Council of Student Body Presidents met this past weekend. Russell said he believes in strength in numbers and knew he needed to get the other UNC system schools on board.
"As we stand together, and whatever comes our way, our hope remains the same — let no person ever say that the student body wasn't willing to ripple the waters," he said.
The students' proclamation cited previous official statements of opposition, including one in June from the police chiefs of the 17 UNC system campuses, and another made in April by UNC system President Tom Ross.

FRESNO, Calif. --The U.S. Department of Agriculture is predicting a record-setting corn harvest.
That's certainly the case for some farmers in Nebraska. They say their corn cobs are bigger this year, after a devastating drought hit that state last year.
The high amounts of corn are causing prices to go down, making it cheaper for farmers all across the country to get food, ethanol fuel and animal feed.

Due to the unique nature of the summer term at UC Berkeley, if students are enrolled in summer and expect VA Benefits for that term, they must notify the Veteran Services office in order for any funds to be requested and subsequently disbursed.
Types of Benefits
Application Fee Waiver for U.S. Military Service Members
U.S. Military service members (active duty and veterans) may be eligible to waive the $200 application fee. Please submit your application, but do not yet pay your application fee. Instead, complete our Military Application Fee Waiver Request form. We will process your request and get back to you within 2 business days with eligibility confirmation and next steps.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) website provides extensive details on the education benefits available to veterans in various statuses, such as vocational/rehabilitation, the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and active duty.
The Haas School of Business, as part of the public University of California system, is one of the few top ranked MBA programs in the country that is able to benefit from the expanded Post 9/11 Benefits signed into law in January 2011. Depending on length of qualifying service, veterans can obtain:
Check out the VA's Benefits Calculator to learn more details about the amounts available to you. Please also check out the BAH Calculator to get an idea of what your housing allowance might be.
MBA students who are fully sponsored, meaning all fees are paid by a third party or outside agency, may choose to work as GSIs and/or Readers. However, if you are eligible for a fee remission from UC Berkeley, you will only receive it if your sponsoring agency reduces the sponsorship by that amount. Fee remissions will not be paid to the student as a refund if fees are being covered by an outside source.
For those of you who waive the student health insurance, the Health Insurance Fee will not be triggered to your account, so expect a lower partial fee remission.
The Evening & Weekend MBA students are not eligible for the CAL Vet Tuition/Fee Exemption as funding differs between programs.
Overview of Process
After admission to the program:
The Fry Scholarship (expanded to include surviving spouses)
As of March 8, 2013 the Army, Navy and Marines have suspended their Tuition Assistance (TA) programs due to a sequestration of federal funds for the program. Although Soldiers, Sailors and Marines will no longer be permitted to submit new requests for TA, those currently enrolled in courses approved for TA are not affected and will be allowed to complete current course enrollments.

I had the good fortune to be a Scientific Judge for the past couple years at the Science Bowl competition. Along with the moderator, my job was to read questions, acknowledge responses, and determine (in cases where there could be some ambiguity, such as short answer questions) whether the answer given by the student was sufficiently correct.
This year, the moderator I worked alongside was a veteran of the Science Bowl in many respects: he had not only moderated for many years, but also had been a question writer, a question reviewer, and before that was one of those very students who sat, in teams of four, across from us. Someone asked, at the end of the day, whether his participation in the Science Bowl competitions as a student had made a difference to his choice of career as an engineer.
I was glad, however, that no one asked me the same question, because I never participated in anything like Science Bowl. Sure, we had physics club in high school, but that was really just an organized way of working collaboratively on homework. I didn't do Math Olympiad or Science Bowl or any robotics competitions. Instead, I went to the Latin Olympics.
Yes, that's a thing. It happens all over the US, in fact, though the only website I could find was for the Chicago Public Schools' competition.
Instead of answering multiple choice questions about geology and physics, I was practicing oratory in a dead language.
In honor of that colorfully competitive past, I share with you this: the story of Minerva and Medusa which I had to memorize. I remember getting some sort of medal, but whether it was for this, I can't recall.
Olim Medusa, puella pulchra, in terra obscura habitabat ubi neque sol neque luna apparebat. Terra obscura puellae grata non erat. Medusa Minervam adoravit.
"Dea sapientiae, audi me," puella misera oravit. "Juva me! Terra obscura, ubi habito, mihi grata non est. Pulchra sum; pulchram comam atque faciem pulchram habeo. Nemo autem in terra obscura me videre potest. Desidero in terra clara habitare."
Dea autem Medusam juvare recusavit. Tum puella irata Minervae dixit, "Invidiosa es quod tam pulchra sum! Populum me videre non desideras!"
Tum dea irata pulchram comam puellae mutavit.
"Tu fuisti superba propter comam pulchram atque faciem pulchram. Ego comam tuam in serpentes mutavi," dea dixit irata. "Non jam tua coma erit pulchra. Tua facies erit pulchra, sed nemo te spectare poterit. In saxa tua facies viros mutabit."

Stand Up For Better Health
Stand Up For Better Health
Here at Lumo BodyTech, we are big believers that one of the best things you can do for your health and for your posture is to get up and get moving. Numerous studies show that Americans spend way too much time sitting, and spending long hours in a sedentary position has various other negative effects on your health and makes you likely to slump into poor posture. We like standing desks and treadmill work stations because they get you out of your chair and make you more apt to stay in motion throughout the day. However, as standing and treadmill desks have become more prevalent in offices across the country, they've been met with some backlash. Here, our friends at WorkWhileWalking.com respond to these criticisms and show you why it might be time for you to consider reconfiguring your workspace.
It's a good thing when fads are questioned. Give some thought to any 2013 pop phenomenon, and you'll probably agree. Scepticism is even more important in the workplace. Jump on the bandwagon out of the office, and you may find yourself going home with today's equivalent of the Furby. Do it in the office, and you could be endangering more than your dignity.
So it's not necessarily a bad thing that we've been seeing some backlash against standing and treadmill desks. There's no denying that standing and treadmill workstations have been enjoying a boom in American workplaces of late, and some people have begun to question whether or not they hold water as an office health hack. Case in point: ABC News recently released a two page article entitled "Stand Up for Better Health? Maybe Not". The second we saw this one, we knew we had to respond. We appreciate the question they're asking…but we're not so sure we agree with the answer.
ABC News did find one heck of an expert. Dr. Marc Hamilton, PhD, one of the pioneers of sitting disease research, was quoted throughout the article. We're not calling Hamilton's credibility into question – he's responsible for an incredible amount of the information we use on this site; however, we would like to respond to his position on adjustable height and treadmill desks. Hamilton, and ABC News, stated that there wasn't enough reliable scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of these workstations.
And that's our bone to pick – it's presumptuous to claim to that there's no evidence to show that treadmill or standing desks do any good. ABC News did give a chance for a couple of industry figures (from UpDesk and TreadDesk) to respond, but neither produced scientific sources, something that the article was quick to point out. Well, we're here to fill in the gaps. WorkWhileWalking has dug up a few of the many sources supporting the use of alternate workstations:
– One of the most convincing articles we've seen on the benefits of walking desks was this landmark 2007 study from James Levine and Jennifer Miller. Levine and Miller found that using a treadmill desk at low speeds (1.1mph) burned far more calories than equivalent time at a desk. They went on to conclude that, if properly used, treadmill desks could be an effective weight-loss solution.
– A recent German study found that use of an active workstation could increase activity levels and heart rate for sedentary workers.
– A one-year prospective study found that treadmill desks increased workplace activity levels, reduced sedentary time, and encouraged mild weight loss, all without negatively impacting workplace performance levels.
We could go on, but even those three are certainly more than "no evidence". Anyone interested in literally reading the book on scientific support for treadmill workstations should consider picking up a copy of James Levine's Move a Little, Lose a Lot. As for standing desks, well…
– A 2012 study found that using standing workstations resulted in a considerable increase in calorie burn rate.
– An evaluation of the implementation of sit-stand desks in an Australian workplace found that not only did standing desks reduce sedentary time, they also had a high rate of usability and acceptability in an office setting.
– An extremely recent study by the BBC and a team of researchers from the University of Chester found that standing burns considerably more calories than sitting, and also reduces post-meal blood sugar levels.
There will always be room for doubt, but we believe that, at least as of now, scientific evidence strongly suggests that standing and walking desks bring a long list of benefits to sedentary workers. And if you're still not convinced, you may only have to wait for researchers to catch up with the soaring popularity of these workstations.

I've been going to Dabbles Hair Company for over 10 years now. Debby, the owner, always makes you feel welcome.

She braided my hair the same way as the previous reviewer and it wasn't a problem for me...actually better because that's what makes the braids flat at the top with no bulkiness!! Love her!!!

UEFA Champions League landmarks, milestones
Monday 2 December 2013
Article summary
UEFA.com rounds up the key statistics from matchday five, including Zlatan Ibrahimović's double cause for celebration and a notable mark for Jack Wilshere.
Article top media content
Article body
• FC Bayern München became the first team to win ten successive UEFA Champions League matches with their 3-1 victory at PFC CSKA Moskva, surpassing the previous record of nine straight wins set by FC Barcelona between 18 September 2002 and 18 February 2003.
• Victory against Manchester City FC on matchday six would make Bayern only the sixth club to win all six games in a group stage, after AC Milan (1992/93), Paris Saint-Germain (1994/95), FC Spartak Moskva (1995/96), Barcelona (2002/03) and Real Madrid CF (2011/12).
• Zlatan Ibrahimović was the 18th player to play 100 times in the UEFA Champions League as Paris beat Olympiacos FC 2-1. Raúl González still tops the list with 142 appearances, followed by Ryan Giggs who made his 138th appearance for Manchester United FC in Leverkusen.
• Ibrahimović's goal against Olympiacos was his eighth in this season's competition, drawing him level with Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scoring charts and equalling the group stage record previously set by Ruud van Nistelrooy (2004/05), Filippo Inzaghi and Hernán Crespo (both 2002/03).
• In giving Arsenal FC the lead against Olympique de Marseille after just 29.56 seconds, Jack Wilshere scored the fastest goal ever by an Englishman in the UEFA Champions League.
• Real Madrid beat Galatasaray AŞ 4-1 and have now scored in 30 games in a row to surpass Barcelona's previous best of 29.
• Matchday five was Barcelona's 250th European Cup game and Borussia Dortmund's 50th win in the competition. While SL Benfica's next draw will be their 50th in the European Cup, the same applies to Chelsea FC and Celtic in UEFA competition overall. Also in UEFA competition, Barça's next draw will be their 100th, Olympiacos suffered their 100th defeat on matchday five and Juventus' next win will be their 200th.
• Only three of this season's 80 group matches have ended in goalless draws: FC Shakhtar Donetsk-Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Real Sociedad de Fútbol-Manchester United and FC Zenit-FK Austria Wien. There have been 47 clean sheets with Arsenal, Bayern, United, Shakhtar and FC Schalke 04 keeping three each.
• Roman Kienast's goal at FC Porto was Austria Wien's first in the group stage and means that all 128 teams who have taken part in the UEFA Champions League proper have scored at least once.
• Arturo Vidal's hat-trick in Juventus' 3-1 win at home to FC København was the 82nd in the competition.
• While Vidal's third goal last time out was Juventus' 350th in the European Cup, several teams could reach scoring landmarks in the competition on matchday six: Real Madrid (798 goals scored), Galatasaray (195), Paris (98), Austria Wien (96), Zenit (47) and Plzeň (46) while FC Barcelona (247 goals against) and AFC Ajax (199) could reach unwanted totals.
• In UEFA competition Mario Balotelli scored Milan's 600th goal in the 3-0 win at Celtic FC, while Kaká's opener in the same match was the 300th goal the Scottish side had conceded. Manchester United (297 goals against) could reach the same mark on matchday six while Juventus (649 goals for), United (547) and Manchester City (148) are all within sight of scoring milestones.
• A total of 6,295 goals have been scored in 2,363 UEFA Champions League matches, an average of 2.66 per game. The fifth goal on matchday six will therefore make it 6,300 in the competition.

April 22nd, 2012 by WCBC Radio
A new law in Maryland will allow private schools to place cameras on school buses aimed at drivers who pass buses illegally. Maryland Delegate Patrick Hogan sponsored the new law with Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signing the bill into law. Last year, Maryland school districts reported 7,200 drivers passed school buses loading or unloading kids in one day alone.

Contact utility companies, government agencies, financial institutions and educational facilities prior to a permanent address change. If an address change is temporary and expected to last for less than 30 days, an individual or business can register for complimentary mail-holding service from the U.S. Postal Service.Continue Reading
Some address changes must be done in person, while other agencies, such as the Social Security Administration, have online tools available. Individuals can change the address for multiple benefit accounts, including disability and Medicare, by logging into the Social Security website. Postal address changes for 12-month mail-forwarding services can also be done online, although a small fee is required to verify the user's identity.
When mail is forwarded to a new address, the sender does not automatically receive information about the recipient's change of address. Each utility account, government office and state agency must be contacted so that they can update the address in their records. People should also notify employers of a move to a new location so that W-2 forms are not delayed during tax season.
Magazine publishers, catalog companies and newspapers should be informed when an address changes. People should also update companies that provide services to the home, such as pool cleaners or lawn-care specialists, when moving to a new residence.Learn more about Postal Services
