Study Finds Short White Men Most Prone to Premature Hair Loss
A new study into the biology of Male Pattern Baldness, by researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany, has identified various characteristics that they believe can influence its prevalence in men. Two key aspects of these findings were the relationships between a man's height as well as his race in determining future androgenetic alopecia.
Now, as well as not being able to jump, it seems white men are also more likely to experience genetic hair loss – and especially if they are short.
Largest study of its kind to date
This project was, according to the study details which were published recently in the Nature Communications journal, 'the largest GWAS meta-analysis of MPB to date, comprising 10,846 early-onset cases and 11,672 controls from eight independent cohorts'.
The team investigated the key pathophysiological aspects of Male Pattern Baldness in order to better understand their 'biological underpinnings'. As with any medical condition, the aim was to improve knowledge in relation to male pattern hair loss as, given it now affects 80 per cent of European men and 85 per cent of American men yet only has two clinically-proven treatments, the team felt there may be room for improvement.
These two MHRA and FDA approved treatments for male hair loss in men aged 18 and over (16 for minoxidil) are finasteride 1mg and minoxidil. Finasteride 1mg is an oral tablet taken once per day to inhibit DHT, the hormone responsible for thinning hair in cases of male pattern baldness, whilst minoxidil is a vasodilator which is applied directly to the scalp in order to encourage regrowth.
At Belgravia, the approach of combining finasteride 1mg tablets with recommended formulations of high strength minoxidil and various hair growth boosters, as appropriate, to form a custom treatment course, has been a long-established method with a constant stream significant hair growth results. A number of these can be seen in Belgravia's Male Hair Loss Treatment Success Stories gallery.
By investigating the genetics of male pattern baldness further, the Bonn researchers hoped to uncover information that could potentially help to develop more specific hair loss treatments.
Height and skin colour can influence hair loss
Short men – considered to be those under 5ft 10″ – and those with lighter skin colours were found most prone to premature hair loss.
Dr. Stefanie Heilmann-Heimbach, a human geneticist at the University of Bonn and one of the lead authors of the study, explained via press release how, by studying over 20,000 men from seven different countries: "We were thus able to identify 63 alterations in the human genome that increase the risk of premature hair loss… Some of these alterations were also found in connection with other characteristics and illnesses, such as reduced body size, earlier occurrence of puberty and various cancers."
The University's Director of the Institute of Human Genetics, Prof. Markus Nöthen, added: "We have also found links to light skin color and increased bone density," explains at the University of Bonn. "These could indicate that men with hair loss are better able to use sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. They could also explain why white men in particular lose their hair prematurely."
Whilst this could explain why 5ft 7in actor Tom Cruise, with his Italian heritage, is thought to use hair loss treatments to keep his leading mane status, predicting hairloss is not quite that simple.
For example, footballer and hair transplant 'poster boy' Wayne Rooney (pictured), who started experiencing premature hair loss in his late teens, falls into both the white and the 'short' category at 5ft 9in, though it's interesting to note that Latino pop star Bruno Mars at 5ft 5in, and African American actor Kevin Hart, who is 5ft 2in, both have a thick head of hair. This is in stark contrast to basketball legend Lebron James who despite being black and 6ft 8in tall has had well-documented struggles with a receding hairline. The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson, who is a statuesque 6ft 5in and mixed race, is famous for his bald look which is due to shaving his head to deal with male pattern baldness.
At the end of the day, whilst the factors uncovered by this latest study may increase the risks of early onset male hair loss, they do not seem to affect the overall chance of developing male pattern baldness. Also, seeing as hair loss treatment is often most effective when started early, it does not mean short men or men of any specific race should despair.
Christina Chikaher, Superintendent Pharmacist Prescriber at Belgravia, explains: "These statistics show that men of all races and ethic origins tend to develop Male Pattern Baldness, but some just seem to develop it later in life or it could simply be that we just have more statistics on the white population.
In men of European origin, balding usually starts in one's 30s. Up to 80 per cent of European men are affected to some extent. Hair loss in Asian men comes about a decade later, and the overall frequence is much lower, impacting 50 to 60 per cent of men. There is relatively little data on baldness in Africa, but male hair loss there seems even less frequent.
There are so many different theories as to the cause of MPB. There seems to be a link showing that short white men may be more prone to Male Pattern Baldness, but from our experience at Belgravia, we treat a range of men from all races and backgrounds. I personally don't see a definite link with stature and MPB and I think we have a pretty good mix of tall and short men as clients. Equally, we have a mix of ethnic origins. If anything, I would say that we treat a larger percentage of non-white males, both across Belgravia's Central London hair loss clinics and via our home-use service for clients based abroad.
Over the years, every possible cure has been tried for MPB. The only absolute cure for MPB at the moment is castration and this is pretty drastic! For the time being the only thing we are sure about is that minoxidil and finasteride are proven to treat hair loss and prevent baldness but much more research is needed to prove anything else."

SAN FRANCISCO — Several vibrators from Good Vibrations' Antique Vibrator Museum will be featured in an upcoming mainstream film.
The movie, "Hysteria," starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rupert Everett premieres Sept. 15 at the Toronto Film Festival.
Good Vibrations said the history of vibrators will get a popular culture boost with the anticipated release of the film, a Victorian-era romantic comedy set around the creation of the vibrator.
Company founder, Joani Blank, collected antique vibrators for over 20 years. The largest collection of her treasures is now displayed at the Good Vibrations Polk Street store, with smaller collections in other San Francisco, Berkeley, and Brookline stores and images online. The vibrators in that collection date from the late 1800's up through the 1970's.
Good Vibrations said the electric vibrator was first used as a medical tool designed to treat "female disorders" including so-called "hysteria" by inducing orgasms — thus the film's title.
Although the psychiatric community debunked the perceived malady in 1952, the vibrator was thought to be a reliable instrument.
"In light of hysteria's historical legacy, we can see that classifying hysteria as a disease was a refusal to acknowledge female sexuality as a human trait on par with male sexual functioning, as well as a refusal to recognize orgasm as a normal function of female sexuality," Good Vibrations said.
By 1900, dozens of styles of electric vibrators emerged and were available to the discriminating medical professional.
Good Vibrations said, "The staff dreams of the day when all vibrators are proudly promoted as the superior sex toys they are. After all, as a vintage advertisement claims, 'almost like a miracle is the miraculous healing force of massage when rightly applied.'"

I realize that I've done a terrible job at keeping my blog up to date with changes occurring in my life. I wrote a few weeks ago about my internship with Casey Templeton, a very talented photographer in Richmond, VA. It was an incredible blessing to intern with Casey. Please check out my guest blog post about my experience HERE. If any of you asked me a few months back what my future would look like, I probably looked at you with a blank stare. I had no idea. I had ambitions and dreams...lots of them, but solidifying where I would be, when, and how was overwhelming to me. I had just transitioned back to America and wanted to start my own photography business. Countless of you encouraged me to follow my dreams and start Kate Magee Photography but the "HOW" continually held me back. Once my internship with Casey began it was like my life began to catch up with my dreams. I learned so much during the internship. I fell in love with Richmond, VA and the people within the city. As my internship was wrapping up Casey asked how I would feel to stick around Richmond and be an associate of his. The opportunity was overwhelming yet it didn't take long for me to accept. I'm excited to call Richmond "home" and slowly transition my life down south a bit. I usually say that change is hard...but in this case, change is a good thing. A really good thing.
Change is a good thing

My favorite guy from World War Z
Paul Redeker/Xolelwa Azania: Designer of the Redeker Plan; the public pictured him as a heartless man, although this is still being debated on. Called an angel and a devil because of his plan, seeing as he was willing to sacrifice thousands to save the human race. Many members of the South African government opposed his plan but were convinced after Nelson Mandela embraced Redeker stating that "This man will save our people." Subsequently went insane and began living under the identity Xolelwa Azania.

The Decline of Patient Place-Making
Patient development was once the normal American way to build, as it was in other parts of the world as well, but patient place-making began to seriously erode about a century ago and is almost unheard-of today because of several seemingly disconnected factors. But before we get to those, here's the thumbnail sketch of patient urbanism:
• Patient urbanism doesn't have to build the climax condition of a place from the beginning, but can start with small temporary structures and move or improve them over time.
• Patient urbanism can do the same with infrastructure, starting with gravel roads that eventually might morph all the way to paved Main Streets.
• Patient urbanism works in small increments, doing a good job with each little piece before moving on to the next instead of trying to do it all at once.
• Because patient urbanism is good with little pieces, it's good at infill development as well.
Patient urbanism was once the default American way to build (as it was in other parts of the world as well) but it's really rare today because of these factors, which I've arranged in roughly chronological order of when they began:
The car allows us to live where we want and work somewhere else. Before the automobile, it wasn't possible to build large swaths of the same building type because you needed to live near your work, and near the butcher, the baker, and all your other necessities as well. As did everyone who worked for the businesses and institutions that served you. Trains first allowed us to live remote from work, but once you arrived home, everything else still needed to be close around, so the railroad suburbs retained the traditional fine-grained mix of building types… until the car arrived and allowed us to work, live, shop, play, worship, and learn, all in different places.
Developers bought into the industrial paradigm, which is based on economies of scale. Small incremental projects aren't interesting to most developers because if you develop like an industrialist, you need high-dollar jobs in order to get involved because you're looking for those economies of scale. The alternative to economies of scale is economies of means, which produce very different results. Scale and patience are inextricably intertwined. Patience allows very fine-grained place-making, whereas impatience requires large swaths to be developed quickly.
The regulation of the built environment is without doubt a heavier burden today than it has ever been. The architects bear a lot of the responsibility because they slowly forgot how to design lovable buildings, beginning with the Great Decline, which started just before the Great Depression. So most new projects seem like downward trades from whatever was there before, whether a pasture or an old building. NIMBYs are a testament to this long sad track record of downward trades. So we place ever-heavier obligations on new developments, including requiring them to build the climax condition at the beginning instead of allowing them to develop patiently in ways that might be less predictable. Unpredictability can't be tolerated if change is usually bad.
A mediocre plan can be finished quickly, because there's not so much to them, but great inspiring plans by heroic figures such as Daniel Burnham often took a half-century or more to realize, so they had to be patient. But municipal planners so discredited themselves by allowing the demolition of huge swaths of American cities in the Urban Renewal programs of the 1960s that they ceased to plan, relegating themselves to being something more akin to "urban accountants," counting parking ratios, building height, and floor area ratios. The New Urbanists, composed at the beginning as a rag-tag band of developers and architects finally said to the planners "if you won't draw a plan with compelling vision, we will" beginning in 1980. But by then, the damage had been done because the development industry had been rebuilt around quick, low-aspiration, developer-driven plans.
Social upheavals and violence of the 1960s created a lot of fear, and people left the cities in massive waves, fueling the suburban building boom. Many cities around the country began pulling themselves back together in the 1980s, but fear wasn't necessary any longer to drive the suburbs because they were the shiny new places, even if it was just new vinyl and sheetrock. The boom charged on, right up until the Meltdown.
Developers spun the "city fear" into an urban legend that read like this: "people, for the first time in human history, want to live in places with other people exactly like them." So the developers stratified subdivision pods in a very fine-grained manner. There's a big sprawl development in my hometown where if you wanted to spend $320,000 to $360,000, they steer you to a particular pod. I am not kidding… it's that narrow of a range. But if everyone I'm around is just like me, then that's a little boring, isn't it? The real reason for spinning the myth is that developing many pods of very similar product is very efficient because when builders buy ("take down") pods of lots for very similar houses, they get really good at building those house plans over and over again. And if you're an industrialist, you love efficiency.
These historic trends built the massive development machine that built suburbia. That machine went off the rails at the Meltdown that spawned the Great Recession we're still struggling to escape. A lot of smart people like Chuck Marohn and Kaid Benfield make the case that it was too good to be true because we were mortgaging our future to keep the machine going. Today, we really do need to re-learn how to build places patiently… don't you think?
~Steve Mouzon
PS: Here are some of the forces preventing patient place-making today, but here's the story of a little town that bucked the trend and changed the world.
Telling a New Story About Living Traditions
The heartbeat of a living tradition is four simple words: "we do this because…" If you put every pattern in a language of architecture in these terms, it opens up the "why" of each pattern, allowing everyone to think again. Modernists have long chafed at architectural pattern books, objecting that "they don't allow invention," but with "we do this because…" everyone can invent all they like, so long as it's within a set of agreed-upon principles.
For years, I referred to these four words as the "transmission device" of living traditions. Recently, Kaid Benfield told me that this term "takes something warm and personal and makes it cold and technical-sounding." And he's exactly right. For the last couple months, I've been looking for an alternative. I stumbled across a great candidate just the other day: "we do this because…" is the heartbeat of living traditions, as noted above. What do you think?
It might sound a bit sappy at first glance, but please consider that it's fairly correct organically. The beating heart moves life-sustaining blood through the body, keeping it alive. "We do this because…" moves principles, which are the lifeblood of any living tradition, to all participants in that tradition. Without knowing why, a tradition is dead… it's just your father's way of doing things. But if we all know why we do what we do, we're free to adapt to new conditions. And when an entire culture knows why, you just might have millions of minds thinking of better ways of building.
This transforms a living tradition into a bracing paradox: On the one hand, if many people are thinking of ways to improve their architecture, that architecture is intensely of our time, because it's the latest thought on the matter. On the other hand, if the principles are based on regional conditions, climate, and culture, those things (especially conditions and climate) don't change very quickly over time, likely allowing the architecture to rise to the level of the timeless. This same principle holds in disciplines far afield of architecture as well… living traditions can thrive in everything from music to the blogosphere.
The error of high-design architecture of recent decades isn't that it's too inventive… it's that it throws out everything that has been proven to work. If architecture isn't allowed to learn from things outside our time, it becomes transgressional, rendering it highly unlikely to be lovable.
Think what would have happened in the computer industry had Steve Jobs not allowed himself to learn from the past. Had he attempted to reinvent the Mac with each new version, it never would have gotten so much better over the past three decades. It's the same story in medicine, in aeronautics, in chemical engineering in space flight, in… the list goes on. If we're talking about core sciences such as mathematics and physics, it's the same story as well. Newton famously said "if I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." The discipline of green building, above all else, needs to be able to learn from the work that others have done.
To be clear, inventiveness is great… I love inventing things. But I want those things to be lovable so that they have a chance of being sustained long beyond my lifetime. If we want to sustain things long into an uncertain future, we really should stack the deck in our favor by doing work that embodies principles proven to produce things humans love, and that can become part of a living tradition… one with a heartbeat… shouldn't we?
~Steve Mouzon
Patient Urbanism - Build Neighborhoods Without High Debt
Building neighborhoods patiently requires far less debt for infrastructure and results in places that are more interesting than those that are built all at once. This was once the way we built everywhere, but it is now illegal all over. Why? Because cities insist on "seeing the end from the beginning," meaning that they want the developer to begin by building the final condition of the neighborhood. In human terms, it would be like deciding that we can no longer tolerate giving birth to a child that grows into an adult; we will only allow giving birth to an adult… an incredibly painful proposition that simply doesn't work.
Go to any great city or town that has been there for at least a couple centuries, and the buildings that make up the historic center are highly unlikely to be the ones that were originally built there. At the beginning, the buildings may have been little more than shacks that were replaced or transformed a few decades later into proper wood-frame buildings. A generation or two later, those detached buildings were likely replaced with the larger (and often attached) buildings we see today.
Seaside, Florida, designed by DPZ and the birthplace of the New Urbanism, is a good example of a place built this way, but only because there was no planning department to forbid it at the time. Streets were built one at a time; the next street didn't begin until the previous one was pretty much sold out. Originally, the paving was just crushed shells; it was covered several years later with the concrete pavers that are there today. The first building was a sharecropper's cottage that was hauled in from a farm several miles away. The first commercial buildings were shacks, sheds, and trailers. A few of them remain in their original locations, but most have been moved at least a time or two to make way for larger and more permanent structures.
Seaside's town center is now in the process of being rebuilt in its climax condition of 3- to 5-story masonry buildings. A few are complete, but there are several more to come. Sundog Books started out in a simple one-story wood frame building. It moved several years ago to a two-story frame building on the square, but this building has always been slated to have its final home a couple blocks away as part of the neighborhood school. When it moves, it will be replaced with the masonry building that will house Sundog Books long into the future.
Building this way allowed Town Founders Robert and Daryl Davis to build this world-famous town with essentially no debt after the infrastructure of the first street was paid off. Put another way, had they been expected to build Seaside's climax condition in 1980, it's highly unlikely that Seaside would have ever been built because it would not have been financed. Who ever heard of building a world-famous town on the Redneck Riviera amid the scraggly condos, t-shirt shops, and liquor stores that thinly populated this stretch of Highway 30-A back then? No banker in their right mind would have gone for such a proposition.
This is even more important today, with real estate development money as tight as it has ever been. The great places we love the most were usually built without real estate mortgages. Most places weren't more wealthy then than we are today; they simply built what they could afford at the time and then improved it in small increments over time. Cities and towns really need to learn this lesson again today… it just might make the difference between building and not building, and it will certainly create a better place.
~Steve Mouzon
PS: Here are some of the historical reasons we're in this mess, and these are the forces at work today to keep us that way.
Amendment: I meant to mention several groups in this post that are making significant strides on this issue: Tactical Urbanism is exploring all sorts of ways of improving places with no debt using available stuff. Strongtowns examines the ways infrastructure debt has spiraled out of control, and what to do about it. A number of architects and planners are exploring these ideas under the banner of Incremental Urbanism… their site was on Posterous, which is shutting down, but I'll post a link when they're back up. And the Sprawl Repair people are looking at how to incrementally salvage our biggest infrastructure investment, which is sprawl.

Below is a post that I wrote a couple of weekends ago, but for some reason it never actually posted to the website. Ah, technical issues. But no biggie. I happily share it with you now…provided that it posts this time around.
Yesterday morning, a Sunday, we woke up a little later than normal. This is actually somewhat of a miracle considering the wind picked up again last night after having been relatively calm most of Saturday. Usually we don't sleep well in the wind, but after several nights of it, I guess we needed our sleep.
To be honest, we aren't really breakfast people. We both enjoy breakfast foods, but usually don't want them first thing in the morning. Today, though, we looked at each other and at the same moment asked "So, do you want breakfast?" That's when we became aware of how bad the wind was howling (there had been a lull, I guess) and decided we really didn't want to leave the house.
I have been craving biscuits and sausage gravy for a couple weeks now. In fact, last weekend I was ready to get in the car and drive an hour and a half to Talkeetna to get breakfast at the Talkeetna Roadhouse, home of arguably the best biscuits and gravy in the state. And they didn't even pay me to say that…I just really love their breakfasts.
Anyway, today was the day I was going to satisfy that biscuit and gravy craving, so I gathered my ingredients and got work. Not that there is a lot of work to making biscuits. There was about 20 minutes of prep time, including 10 minutes where the fats for the dough were chilling in the fridge while I measured my other ingredients and pre-heated the oven (and took pictures for you). If a person were properly motivated, biscuits could be made from start to finish in half an hour. Maybe less.
I love the hands-on nature of making biscuits. There really are few more pleasurable feelings than cool flour flowing between your fingers. There there is also the "kid-playing-in-the-mud" feeling of bringing the dough together, followed by the feeling of setting everything right once more by gently cutting out the nice, round, and symmetrically placed biscuits. And of course there is the eating. It's really a lot of fun, and a wonder I don't make them more often.
Normally, those 10-12 minutes where the biscuits are baking are some of the hardest of life. However, I used the time to make the sausage gravy, and both were ready just in time to meet each other on my plate.
Give this duo a try the next time you have time for more than cereal or toast for breakfast but don't want to go out. You can find the gravy recipe here, or feel free to play with whatever toppings or sauces you prefer. Eggs Benedict on a biscuit, anyone?
Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ounce butter
1 ounce lard, bacon fat, vegetable shortening (or substitute another ounce of butter)
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Liberally flour a section of counter top or other work surface.
- Find your favorite biscuit cutter. This recipe makes 12 biscuits if you use a 2 inch cutter. I don't own a 2 inch cutter, so my 2.5 inch cutter consistently produces 8 biscuits from this amount of dough, including the "cat head" (see below).
- Cut the fats into small pieces, and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- After combining, you can sift these dry ingredients if it makes you feel better about yourself, brings back happy childhood memories, or otherwise makes you happy.
- Remove the fats from the freezer and add to the flour mixture. If not, feel free to skip it.
- Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers (I prefer my fingers), cut the fats into the flour until the flour has the texture of course crumbs. (Try to work quickly in this step so the fats don't warm up and melt.)
- Make a well in the center of the flour/fat mixture and pour in the cup of buttermilk.
- Use either a wooden spoon or your hands to gently combine in to a sticky dough. Do not over work the dough or the biscuits can come out tough.
- Scrape the dough out onto a well-floured work surface, using your hands to pat the dough into a rough circle about one-half to three-quarters of an inch thick. Flip the dough over to ensure that both sides are covered in flour.
- Using a biscuit cutter, small juice glass, or other cutter of your choice, cut out your biscuits by pushing straight down through the dough and turning the cutter 1/8 of a turn while keeping the edge in contact with the work surface.
- Brush away extra flour clinging to the biscuits, and place on the lined baking sheet so that it is just touching its neighbors.
- Once you have cut out all the biscuits you can from the round of dough, gently pat the scraps back together to make another round, and continue. Depending on your cutter size, you may have to repeat this step up to one more time.
- To make sure my biscuits brown well and have a more crisp exterior better able to stand up to gravy, I like to dip my fingers in the buttermilk clinging to the measuring cup and then wipe them across the biscuit tops, but this is an entirely optional step.
- Place the pan of biscuits in the oven, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until risen and golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few moments before breaking open and enjoying with butter, jam, jelly, gravy, or as the base for breakfast sandwiches.
Tips: If you are just cooking for a few people, eight to twelve biscuits may be a bit much. Feel free to wrap the extras in paper toweling and place in a zip-top bag to freeze. Or, cook extra sausage patties or other breakfast items that could work well on a sandwich and use these to build breakfast sandwiches to get you off on the right foot all week long. To thaw a biscuit in the microwave, heat while wrapped in a paper towel (see why I told you to include those when you freeze them?) for 30 seconds to 1 minute on HIGH. Heating a breakfast sandwich typically takes between 3 and 5 minutes on HIGH.
Note: If you use your hands to combine, as I do, please make sure you have already floured your work surface to receive the dough, as well as found your biscuit cutter and lined your baking sheet. I often forget to do this extra prep step before getting my hands covered in dough. Usually, as soon as I start mixing, I realize what I've done and send out the universal distress call in my kitchen – "Honey, can you help me with something?" May you either have a better memory than mine, or an equally accommodating spouse.
Odd cultural/family note: The final biscuit, for reasons I do not know, is called the "cat head" in many Southern families – mine included. It is formed by combining all the remaining scraps after the biscuits have been cut and the scraps patted back together for another cutting a couple of times. This mutant dough scrap ball is typically placed in the center of the pan of biscuits, is likely to dwarf the others considerably, won't be pretty, and in my house was usually reserved for the biscuit maker – my dad. When I make biscuits at home now, I always think of him when I eat that one.

Game Notes
Tallahassee, FL – Friday night Florida State and Florida will meet for the 14th time in program history. The two schools, separated by just 150 miles, are rivals on every playing field but the annual contest played on the soccer pitch has risen to one of the top games in college soccer each and every year. Once again both teams come into the game ranked and both schools also are once again coming off a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
"You hear about the Florida State/Florida rivalry from the time you are little when you grow up in the state," said Holly Peltzer. "It is always there. It seems like I have heard about this rivalry forever."
Whenever FSU and Florida play anything, there is always going to be a fierceness between the teams but the rivalry in soccer really wasn't competitive for the first five years. After the Gators won the first five meetings between the schools, FSU finally broke through in 2000. FSU then beat the Gators again that year in the NCAA Tournament. Since the 2000 season opener, FSU has gone 5-3 versus their biggest rival.
"The rivalry has become more competitive because it has become more of a true rivalry the last six years," said Ali Mims. "Playing in it for several years, it is nice to know that it is now competitive and the playing field has leveled. In the past, there was never any need for extra motivation when you were playing Florida and that is still the case but now there is more balance between the teams. Having been through the ups and downs, the wins and losses, it is always a fun game because the rivalry is now so big on the soccer field as well."
Last season the rivalry was a new experience for then-first year head coach Mark Krikorian. He brought his Seminoles into Gainesville for the first time and got an up close look at what it means to be a part of a Florida State/Florida game.
"I thought it was a great atmosphere and a game between two very strong programs," said Krikorian. "They had a great crowd and it was a wonderful game versus two good teams. I have seen after being here for a year now, that when Florida State and Florida meet in any sport that is what you should expect."
The experience wasn't just a new one for Krikorian, who has coached in the college game and had previous experiences of in collegiate rivalries. That wasn't the case for All-American Selin Kuralay. The Australian really had no idea what to expect going into last year's game but after scoring two goals versus the Gators in 2005, she has a better idea this season.
"I didn't really know much about the rivalry going into this game last year," said Kuralay. "Know I understand it more and know that this is always going to be a tough game. Both teams are very competitive and we know it is a big game for both schools."
While the rivalry was new to many Seminoles, when you talk Florida State/Florida it is always about the players who grew up in Florida. The teams combine to have 26 Florida players on their roster and for the native Floridians this game is even more special. That was the case last season for FSU's Holly Peltzer. The sub came off the bench and scored two second half goals to lead Florida State to the 4-2 victory.
"This is a big rivalry," said Peltzer. "Everybody on both sides gets up for this game. Last year I went in to the game and just tried to make a difference. I was able to score a couple of goals and those turned out to be the difference."
The Seminoles come into the game ranked No. 1 in the Soccer America poll and No. 2 in three other polls. Florida State is 3-0 on the season and with one more win FSU will have the second longest win streak to start a season. The Gators are 2-1-1 and are ranked as high as 16th. Florida opened the season with a tie against the defending National Champion Portland Pilots and then defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 6-1 in their last game.
"Watching UF play this year, they are an even better team than they were last season," said Kuralay. "They will be very difficult to compete against. What I have seen is that they are not only really athletic but they have added another component. They are playing much more tactically this season. That is going to be a huge test for us."
"I think Florida is a good team, they play good soccer and they are going to win a lot of games," said Krikorian. "They have good personnel all over the field. I think this is going to be a great game. I look forward to the competition Friday night."
This is just the second home game of the year for the Seminoles. In the home opener the second largest crowd in school history came out to see FSU upset Portland 2-1. While every FSU/UF game in Tallahassee has been played in front of at least 1,000 fans, only two of those matches rank among the top 10 in attendance at FSU. Just a few seasons ago four of the top seven crowds all-time in Tallahassee came in this series. That could all change Friday night though.
"I think it is fantastic when we have the stands packed," said Krikorian. "Our players can feel the energy and excitement. I hope Tallahassee shows up to support our team Friday and helps us get another win."
Friday night's game is set for an 8:00 p.m. start at the Seminole Soccer Complex. There is no admission charge for the game. Fans who are unable to attend can follow all the action on SUN Sports live telecast of the tilt. There will also be an Internet radio broadcast at Seminoles.com along with Game Tracker.

Once again every dollar working on my behalf means my family will have to worry about less in the future. Since money doesn't sleep, get tired, or get sick (unlike humans) I'd rather my money work for me rather than the other way around.
It feels really good to be in a position to continue to put fresh capital to work. Anyone can look at the stock market like any other market or store. It offers a lot of merchandise, some expensive, some cheap. In the end it's up to the individual to pick what's best for them!
Purchased 20 shares of Bank of America (BAC) on 2/22/16 for $ 12.45 per share
Purchased 10 shares of Kinder Morgan (KMI) on 2/22/16 for $ 17.84 per share
Purchased 100 shares of Chimera (CIM) on 3/10/16 for $ 13.95 per share
Purchased 10 shares of Kinder Morgan (KMI) on 4/1/16 for $ 17.38 per share
I have continued to add to my position to Kinder Morgan and have averaged the price down to the low 20's. I also have decided to add a new position with Bank of America which I believe will be a great asset moving forward.
Since Chimera decided to give a special dividend out in March and would be paying out their regular dividend in April I decided with much thought to go ahead and purchase 100 shares of Chimera! Since acquiring more shares I have decided not to reinvest the dividend back into Chimera but to allow the money to be deposited back into the account so I can hunt for better bargains that are in the market.

Given the proximity of the state prison across from Harrah's new Route 291 racino in Chester, the inmates probably enjoy the best views of the hall's dazzling neon marquee, with its oversized simulated slot machine. And given the cheerless design of Harrah's gaming floor, the state inmates are probably no less confined than the slots slaves tethered to their electronic consoles.
It isn't merely the sight of 2,700 slot machines crammed into a football-field expanse that numbs the soul. From the moment you step into the crimson light of the slots floor at Harrah's Chester, you feel as if your body has been delivered into the programmed world of The Matrix. Only you're transfusing U.S. currency instead of your life essences into the machines.
To control the mood, Harrah's also insists on piping a strange droning music onto the slots floor. The ceaseless, atonal hum interferes with normal human conversation and sounds like a bad imitation of a Philip Glass composition. Not that the buzzing seems to bother the slots players, who keep their own internal time by patting the square play button on their machines.
Even though there's a nice variety of restaurants on the perimeter of the gaming floor - announced by loopy, Rat Pack- era typefaces - the majority of the tables stood empty Saturday night. Don't the players break from their rote exercise to eat?
Harrah's, which debuted in January, is the first purpose-built slots parlor to open in the Philadelphia area since the state legalized gambling in 2004. Though Philadelphia Park racetrack in Bensalem was also allowed to install slots, it's the newly minted Harrah's that offers a glimpse of what is in store for the city if two approved casinos, SugarHouse and Foxwoods, are built as planned on the Delaware. While neither will include a horse track, both will feature an identical program: 3,000 slot machines, an eight-story garage, one white-tablecloth restaurant, a range of budget dining, and a couple of bars.
The $420 million Harrah's building, designed by the Atlantic City casino specialists Sykes O'Connor Salerno Hazaveh, does offer some unexpectedly good architectural moments. The soaring glass wall at the high-end Cove restaurant is so sheer and effortless, it nearly melts into the sky. Held in place by a few metal clamps, the curtain wall utilizes the same system as the Apple store's new glass cube on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.
The Cove's wall is strategically angled to provide a panoramic view of Harrah's harness track, but it also captures a noble lineup of stilled cranes in the neighboring shipyard, giving restaurant patrons a connection to Chester's once-mighty industrial waterfront and the world beyond the racino grounds. It's clear that the project's lead designer, Tom O'Connor, aspired to make Harrah's more than a big-box store for gamblers.
Take the tiled elevator banks that overlook the casino floor and lead to the garage. Each level is drenched in its own rich, sparkling color. Those elevators converge at a lobby that serves as a sort of way station: Patrons must pause there before deciding whether to cross into the Hades of the slots floor, or descend to the more serene track and simulcast level (racing starts July 9). The escalators are set in a zippy oval and lit with overscaled tiki lamps that are meant to evoke the Googie glamour of early Vegas.
It soon becomes clear that the architects' best design moves are concentrated on the track level, one story below the slots floor, and in the lobby way station. You can read into that what you will, but for me it suggests that it is impossible to civilize a room designed to house blinking, insentient money-collecting machines.
The slots floor is nothing more than a metal shed that has been painted a deep red. Though the high ceilings are laced with ducts, they proved insufficient to remove all the cigarette smoke on Saturday night. The tableau of hundreds of gamblers, moving robotically through the red-tinged, smoky brume, was like seeing a Fritz Lang movie on a creaky projector.
Not all casinos feel so dead. But when state legislators crafted a gambling law that forbids card and table games - while simultaneously imposing one of the highest tax rates in the country - they guaranteed that Pennsylvania would attract the worst of all casino forms, the slots barn.
The economics of table games yield a different kind of casino building. Because card games attract a more diverse and free-spending crowd, operators tend to invest in amenities like theaters, nightclubs, shops and hotels. I suspect there's a greater incentive for the patrons of full-service casinos to get up and walk around.
Not that Philadelphia's waterfront is the right place for two of these.
A coalition of anti-casino forces in the city has been lobbying Harrisburg's enablers to reconsider the state's gaming law. Those forces tried to place a referendum on Tuesday's ballot barring casinos 1,500 feet from a residential neighborhood, a regulation that would boot SugarHouse and Foxwoods off the Delaware waterfront.
Although the tactic was struck down by the state Supreme Court, the group Casino-Free Philadelphia will mount a shadow referendum by installing big red ballot boxes outside select polling stations. Voters can also register their views online at www.casinofreephila.org/referendum.
As dispiriting as Harrah's Chester racino is, it has the virtue of being located in a remote industrial area, away from dense residential areas. True, the slots parlor consumes good waterfront property. But Chester's stretch of the Delaware isn't on the verge of blossoming into a real neighborhood, as Philadelphia's is. It helps, too, that Chester's box is softened by the green of the racetrack.
Because of its location, I encountered virtually no car traffic along the 21/2 miles between the Interstate 95 exit and Harrah's driveway. Steering toward the garage, I admired the huge neon billboard on Harrah's facade. The light display made an impressive sight for a first-time visitor.
But I wonder if the inmates at the state prison still bother to watch the show.

How to Order Large Quantities of Pure Citrus Air Freshener -citrus air freshener -Citrus Air Freshener You Make Your Home Smell Fresh Without Using Air Fresheners
Use Natural Air Fresheners
Air fresheners usually unhealthy, minimally to poorly effective
The air freshener is a great way to mask the smell of stagnant air. And eliminates a variety of odors including but not limited to smoke, garbage, pets, mildew and litter boxes.
"How to Remove Cooking Odors, " by Christine Benlafquih, About.com Moroccan Food Guide.
Make a Simmering Potpourri
A simmering potpourri is an easy homemade air freshener. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer, and add any combination of the following to the water:
-citrus peels
-cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon
Fill sauce pot with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a slow simmer. Allow to simmer for the next two to three hours making sure to add more water if the amount of water is reduced.
The only drawback of this method is that you have to keep a close eye on the water level.
The only drawback of this method is that you have to keep a close eye on the water level.
You'll be amazed at how well this simple homemade air freshener works. It'll fill your kitchen with a clean smell of citrus and warm earthy spices. I hope this recipe will come in handy for those of who are having your Norouz Party this weekend!
Citrus oils refresh and enhance your personal air space.
Blended and refined citrus oils have exceptionally effective odour control properties.
When sprayed into the air, rather than just covering or masking over odours, citrus oils naturally destroy even the toughest of airborne odours by dissolving them on contact.
Open the Windows
Weather permitting, opening the windows is the simplest way to make a home smell fresh.
Fresh air helps any home smell good, and a strategic breeze can carry cooking odors right out the window.
Benefits Of Indoor Fruit Trees
As enjoyable and rewarding it is to grow your own fruit, there is another big benefit to these trees. Not only do they offer vibrant green foliage that beautifully accents any room, but they serve as a natural air freshener.
The only drawback of this method is that you have to keep a close eye on the water level.
If you've been a gardener for any length of time, you know how plants improve the air quality of your home, just as trees do outdoors. Indoor citrus trees offer a pleasant, slightly tropical scent, even when they are in a dormant state in between fruit crops.

The Nokia N95 8GB and the N82 are very similar function-wise; you could almost say that the N82 is a N95 in a candybar form factor. There are however some obvious physical differences, eg. the flash, the microSD slot, the keyboard, multimedia keys and data ports. Read more about this at Symbian World.
Steve Litchfield at All About Symbian has reviewed the Sony Ericsson W960, and he is unusually positive, this being a touchscreen device. My own experience with UIQ3 is a bit mixed, being a user of the SE P990i for more than a year. Both the hardware and software has gotten a lot better since then, but I think it's a shame that they have to learn from so many devices before they begin getting it right. I also find it strange that smartphone manufacturers are launching phones with a lot of bugs or unfinished firmware. However, I think P1i and W960 does UIQ3 more justice than previous devices and I hope that more smartphone users and software developers now will start realising the potential of the platform.
"…you can buy the W960 knowing that it's a big step forwards from its predecessor. It's even a big step forwards from the P1i, in my opinion, if only because of the superb flush screen with easy corner access. Now, Sony Ericsson, get the software right and you may even tempt me away from my beloved Nokia N95."

Can we all just bin society and start over?
Children in foster care have been abused in Australia too.
It must be more than frustrating for those good people who work in protective services and indeed the decent foster parents.
I run out of things to say when it comes to child abuse because it does my head in.

Then my brother emails me that he wants some stupid statue for his birthday. Check it out:
First of all, I'm not spending 90 bucks on some fat doll. Secondly, if that's what pretty fat people are supposed to look like, I am FUCKED. Where are the rolls and the vericose veins? The random chin hair or skin tag? She doesn't even come with a bag of Doritos...yeah, real life-like. I hope he comes up with another gift idea, otherwise, it's gonna be gift card city.

Interdisciplinary Studies
B. A. or B. S. with a Major in Interdisciplinary Studies
The Interdisciplinary Studies Program offers students an opportunity to create a major that combines courses from two or more disciplines. Students can take charge of their own education by designing a program of study (we call such a course of study a track) focusing on a topic of interest, in consultation with an adviser and with the consent of the Director of Interdisciplinary Studies. In these individualized tracks, students pursue an in-depth study of a topic area of their choice that inherently synthesizes information and research from two or more disciplines. Health Sciences is one example of such a track. Proposals for new and unique tracks are welcomed. The program fosters learning, scholarship, and discovery and allows individuals to take advantage of new and emerging fields and topics of study. The University of North Dakota is fortunate to have faculty with sufficient breadth and depth of knowledge to provide a foundation for interdisciplinary studies.

s an odd week for UFC in terms of its PPV product. UFC 216 is set to take place on Saturday night in Las Vegas, but it almost doesn't feel like this card should be a PPV. There's plenty of interesting fights on the card — including two title fights — but the names aren't the typical ones you'd expect to see headlining an event like this where there is virtually no competition for eyes outside of college football games late on Saturday night.
Tony Ferguson vs Kevin Lee LIVE stream
Still, three of the four main card fights carry importance in one way or another. One-time, hot shot heavyweight prospect Derrick Lewis is taking a big step up in competition on Saturday in facing former champion Fabricio Werdum, especially coming off a TKO loss to Mark Hunt in his last time out. The winner of this fight figures to be one or two fights away from contending for the belt considering how shallow the division is. Then, you have a chance to witness history when Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson looks to break Anderson Silva's record for most consecutive title defenses when he faces Ray Borg.
And in the main event, Tony Ferguson finally gets his shot to fight for UFC gold after winning nine consecutive fights against a red-hot prospect in Kevin Lee, who is on a five-fight winning streak of his own. Here's how the full fight card shakes out with the latest odds.

CIG April Seminar
Location: NSCC Annapolis Valley Campus Lawrencetown
Title: GIS and GPS in Ground Search And Rescue (SAR)
Eugene F. Peters, P. Eng., Digital Mapping Coordinator
Halifax Regional Search and Rescue
Probably the most important resource during a ground search for a lost person besides the human resource, that is a trained searcher, is an appropriate map and location determining technologies, i.e. a map and compass. Using current mapping, GIS and GPS for efficient search strategy and field team management in Ground Search and Rescue in the Maritime Provinces.
In the Maritime Provinces we have a treasure chest of map datasets over and above the tried and true (yet tired) National Topographic Series maps. 1:10,000 series topo maps, Coastal Series maps, orthophotos and other datasets combined with the ease of navigation using handheld GPS receivers make efficient work of field navigation. And now, throw in the real-time tracking of the field teams on a GIS, and you have the stuff that movies are made of.
Biography for the presenter:
- Graduate of UNB Surveying Engineering.
- Worked as a survey engineer in the offshore oil exploration industry for several years.
- Worked as a survey engineer in the near-shore dredging and marine construction industry for several years.
- Worked for Public Works and Government Services Canada for many years, first as a field surveyor, then as a survey engineer and GIS specialist.
- As an avid outdoors person I wanted to learn how to take care of myself in the woods, so I joined volunteer Ground Search and Rescue. I ended up fulfilling that, then I was able to give back to the organization by integrating new map datasets, GIS, and GPS tools for more efficient search management and field-team tracking.
The seminar is open to anyone so please pass on to people who you think maybe interested in the subject.

Lucia's Pizza & Spaghetti Bar
In the 1950s, pizza was something most Australians had only seen in foreign magazines. Lucia's Pizza & Spaghetti Bar changed that when it opened in 1957, introducing locals to the Italian staple.
The Adelaide Central Market was the obvious location because of the Italian nostalgia – it feels like a meeting place, almost piazza-like with the warmth, hustle and bustle that makes many call the market the soul of the city.
While other restaurants chop and change to keep up, the menu here has remained the same for years (with a few specials thrown in seasonally). Fittingly for a spaghetti bar, the most popular dish is the spaghetti bolognese, with the beef ravioli coming in a close second. And if you need to refuel mid-market shop, Friday's beef lasagne is another signature dish that will keep you going.
They don't forget about vegetarians, either – pesto and Napolitano sauces with ricotta and basil mean everyone can enjoy a meal at this market favourite. Every pasta dish comes with freshly made sauce that's also available for takeaway. Next door at Lucia's Fine Foods you can pick up bread, olive oil, pasta and much more.
Don't let the crowds intimidate you. Squeezing past other diners just adds to the feel of being at Nonna's house for big family events, with everyone eventually getting a seat.

The Philosophy of Adventure
Adventure is a state of mind. Adventure can be literally a walk at a park near your house, or engaging in a voyage thousands of miles away from home. Adventure can be a great trip in your home state or a trip overseas to a far and away location. Adventure can be accomplished alone or with a team. Adventure also can be done with family and children. Your state of mind is what decides whether you are on an adventure or misadventure.
In other words, you do not have to wait to save thousands of dollars to travel forth into adventure. You can have an adventure in your own backyard. You just have to open your eyes to the world around you and you will see the opportunity that awaits you. You have to make the time. Turn off the television, get into the proper gear, and off you will go into the realm of adventure.
The dictionary defines adventure as "an exciting or very unusual experience; participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises". Whether you are hiking, exploring, going new places, driving into terra incognita, camping, visiting the Grand Canyon, having an adventure in dining, walking through Fourth Street in Tucson, in an African safari, going on a pilgrimage, or walking in the park next to your house – you are involved in adventure if you are in an adventurous state of mind.
You are in an adventurous state of mind when you are open and ready for new experiences, to learn about what surrounds you, to be bold and take that first step into that undertaking. As Mark Twain stated, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
One response
Adventure is an attitude.
If I go into something with that attitude of adventurous-ness it's going to be more fun and fascinating. Even if it's not necessarily new or exotic.
It's my aim to live some really cool adventures. But in the meantime I'm putting my focus on having a mindset of adventure about everything I do.

Great place, great community, lots of amenities and a beautiful island, what else would you need to have for a fantastic vacation. Love it.
it was clean we had a three bedroom, the queen bed needed to be replace
This was one of the best family vacations we have had. The room was clean and quiet. It was a very easy walk to the main beach and pool. I felt relaxed even with three young kids. We would totally stay here again.
The property is located in a private, secure complex that is seconds from the RT 90 bridge. We stayed late in the season and had the entire place to ourselves. The indoor pool is large and very well maintained. The outdoor pool was closed for the season but the photos are accurate as to its size and location. The beaches are private and raked each night.
Now about the condo: the condo delivered in each aspect. It was clean, updated, and spacious. One bedroom had two sets of bunk beds, one bedroom had a queen bed, and the final bedroom had a king bed with an ensuite master bath. There was nearly brand new furniture and all of the appliances were in good working condition. The balcony was nice but the unit looks out onto a grass courtyard. The unit was within walking distance of the beach and the pools but because of our beach gear, we drove the distance to get everyone there in one go.
Bottom line, our family had a great time and we would recommend this unit and this location to anyone. Thanks!

they did ever they said they wood do
it can be easy
they hllep you get a job when your in school
good size class good quality of courses
i like the way they are set up
its a good school go to
They help you with finding a job a couple months before graduation
I just started a couple of months ago. So far it's not that bad. Just a lot of work and you need to be there on time to want to learn
It's informative but not much jobs to choose from near you're location
Some of the instructors are there to answer any questions you might have and help you out when you need it. Others aren't socialable and don't have patience when you need help and you don't understand how to do the work.
So far each of my programs had more classroom work and tests than hands on
It's okay if you want to learn how to work on cars. There isn't any other better option when choosing an automotive training school like this one.
The way the teachers are shows they really care about there students they stay after for hours to help a student work on there car or if a student needs help with something they did not understand
Transition from College Into Tech School. The administration has made it very simple to transfer from my college into their program. They answered all of my questions and walked me through the application process.
Hands on! I love how my school is not only sitting in a classroom hearing about what we are supposed to be learning. The first half of the day is learning the theory behind what we are going to be doing with the second half of the day. We get to use our hands and actually do it. This is unique, because many people learn the same way that I do. I cannot learn as well when someone is talking at me. I need to see how it is done and actually do it myself to learn how to successfully do something.
As soon as you walk in, the employees at the school make you feel very welcomed. They are respectful, courteous and very friendly.
Computer Lab – There is a nice computer lab that is available for us to use if we need to research anything.
Poor Student Aid – Very poor aid in finding a job for out of state and no dorms so finding housing is hard and expensive

Making a trellis for pumpkins and other vine fruits and vegetables has several benefits. It keeps the pumpkins off the ground, so they don't rot or mold as easily, and they enable a gardener to grow plants that ordinarily would take up lots of space in a much smaller area. Trellising pumpkins is different than trellising tomatoes or berries on a few important points.
Build your trellis before planting, so that you can properly space the plants along it. Set wooden stakes or fence posts upright in the ground about every foot or so in a line where you want the trellis.
Nail wire or fencing between the stakes. Chicken wire will work for smaller varieties of pumpkins, but for heavier vines, try wire grid fencing suitable for animal pens.
Space plants about every 3 feet along the trellis. You can put them on both sides of the trellis. Plant in the spring, when the last frost danger is past.
Train the vines as they grow. Even climbing varieties need some guidance, and ground varieties will need lots of training. Every 6 inches of growth or so, use string, twine or strips of cloth to secure the vines to the trellis where you want them. Tie them loosely so as not to bruise young plants or cause injuries.
As the pumpkins grow, you can make slings for the larger vegetables to help support their weight. Cut a length of rag or old pantyhose and tie it to the trellis on either side of the pumpkin, so that it's holding the bottom of the vegetable.
