From the moment you arrive in Fiji you will be struck by the natural beauty of the islands but equally moved by the genuine and kind-hearted Fijian people. Any stress just melts away as you explore the stunning beaches, warm climate and relaxed island atmosphere. This Fiji travel guide includes all the relevant information needed for visiting Fiji and the best time to visit.
Fiji's art and craft culture is popular as both a traditional means of producing artefacts as well as for a large proportion of tourist trade. The most common arts and crafts are woven mats, baskets, hats and bags made from pandanus and coconut palm leaves as well as hand carved wooden figurines, taa and tapa cloth. Read More

Most hotels have direct dialling facilities. For inbound calls, the international IDD country code for Fiji is 679 and there are no area codes. Outbound international calls from Fiji use a dial out code of 05 followed by the country code and telephone number for the number being dialled.
Vodafone Fiji Ltd, a subsidiary of Telecom Fiji Ltd, operates a GSM digital mobile communications service.
Visitors from many countries, and subscribing to various networks, can use their own GSM handsets in Fiji. Mobile customers are advised to check with their network operators for their roaming status before travelling, as roaming capability must be 'activated' in your home country. Some areas do not have reception but recently, during the making of the Tom Hanks' movie, Castaway, Steven Spielberg paid to have receivers put in the Mamanucas so the reception now for mobiles is quite extensive.
Fiji is a country rich in traditional culture and uses a native language that defines happiness. Their religious and cultural ceremonies are unlike any other that you may have experienced. Read more Fiji culture and religion
The Fijian dollar has standard decimal denominations between 1.5 and $50. Anything below $2 is a coin and $2 and above is a note. There is no limit to the amount of money to be brought in and visitors are allowed to take out currency up to the amount imported.
Fiji has two international airports - Nadi, the principle gateway and Nausori, near Suva. Fiji Customs operates a Duel Channel System - the Red and Green Channels - for clearance of air travellers.
Note: Your baggage may be examined by Customs whether you take the Red or Green Channels.
Casual dress is perfect for Fiji for both day and night. The weather lends itself to T-shirts, shorts, light cotton dresses, swimwear and thongs (flip flops that is - not the other kind!!). Jeans will be too hot and uncomfortable so leave them at home. A jacket however, is a wise addition to your wardrobe and will be particularly handy for the cooler evening, especially if you are out on the water.
Sunscreen and hats are a must as Fiji days are bright and sunny. Joggers and sandals will provide good protection for walking and swimming around coral. If you do happen to cut yourself on coral, lemon or lime juice will relieve the pain - as will hydrogen peroxide.
Sarongs (known throughout the Pacific as sulu's, pareau or lavalava) are a must for both man and women. The wrap around sulu is Fiji's most distinctive dress and keeps you both cool and comfortable. For women, there are 10 different ways it can be used including evening wear. Ask resort staff for hints on tying and wearing your sulu.
Visitors should be mindful of the local customs and careful not to offend. Bikinis and ultra-brief swimming costumes are fine at resorts but not when visiting villages or shopping in town. This is where sulu's come in particularly handy.

The current in Fiji is 240 volts AC 50Hz with three-pin power points - the same as in Australia and New Zealand. Leading hotels and resorts offer universal outlets for 240v or 110v appliances, or 110V adapters. Many island resorts generate their own electricity, and sometimes when the generators kick in and out, the bedside digital clocks will reset back to 12.00. If you think you'll need a reliable timepiece to make connections etc, it may be wise to pack a travel alarm clock.
Fiji is a land of many attractions, from its picturesque landscapes and crystal waters to its friendly people, beautiful weather and tropical activities. However it is also home to a wide range of annual events held throughout the year including the Tennis Invitation Classic, International Jazz and Blues Festival, Blua Festival, Diwali, the Rising of the Balolo and much more - Fiji Events
Just 1,770 km north of New Zealand, Fiji is a group of 322 islands and 522 islets in the South Pacific. Renowned for its picturesque landscapes, lush rainforests, expansive stretches of pure white sand beaches and volcanic terrain, Fiji's two main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, comprise 85% of the nation's total land mass and more than 50% of the population.

Please ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your return to your country of origin. Most visitors who intend to stay for less than four months do not require a visa. It is a travellers responsibility to have all documentation in order prior to departure.
The following items must be declared -
Fiji's restaurants are renowned as a foodies paradise, with much of their local produce caught or grown organically throughout the islands. With their remaining ingredients regularly imported from Australia and New Zealand, their traditional Fijian, Western, Asian and Italian cuisine is enjoyed made to order, al fresco, as a buffet or a la carte. Read more Fiji Restaurants
Shopping is one of Fiji's most popular activities and there are a range of options available. Offering everything from basic groceries and supermarkets to village markets, boutique shops, large department stores and duty free shopping, tourists can pick up everything from woven goods to clothing, electronics, perfume, jewellery and more while on holiday in Fiji. Reda more - Fiji Shopping
Fiji is fast becoming a surfing holiday destination as its outer lying islands and surrounding coral reefs give rise to a range of fantastic surf breaks and hot spots. All easily accessed by boat transfers, Fiji's most sought after surf attractions include the iconic Hideaways, Frigates, Typhoon Alley, Swimming Pools and Cloudbreak. Read more - Fiji Surf
Tipping is not encouraged anywhere in Fiji. Tip with a smile and 'vinaka', which is Fijian for 'thank you'. Though tipping is not local custom, you may see examples of what looks like tipping. Fijians ritually exchange gifts of food, clothing, kerosene, and even money during important social occasions but it's more an act of sharing.
Fiji enjoys a relatively well-priced and reliable local transport system designed to get you anywhere you need to go on your Fiji holiday. Whether catching a flight between the islands, grabbing a taxi to get around with ease, enjoying the scenic route of the affordable buses or navigating the waters on an inter-island passenger ferry, getting where you need to go is simple, safe and affordable with Fiji transport.
We highly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for health and property. As they say, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel.
Choose a policy that suits your needs. For example, you may wish to cover a pre-existing health condition or you may want extra cover if you're planning on trying new sports like scuba diving or bungee jumping. Travel insurance is fairly inexpensive and guarantees a worry-free holiday.

Background and Purpose
Background to the Chinese in the Northern Territory
The first group of Chinese labourers arrived in Darwin in 1874 as indentured labourers or 'coolies'. Many were highly skilled tradesmen and they were employed on roads, in the mines, on the Overland Telegraph and on railway construction. In the late 19th century, there were up to seven times more Chinese in the Territory than any other ethnic group and since then, the Chinese have continued to play a very important part in the development of the NT. Their early contributions to all branches of industry and business were essential and without their enterprise, skills and the food they grew, life in the Territory would have been significantly less attractive. They faced extreme hardships and discrimination but their determination and perseverance helped them to overcome these difficulties and have earned them a very important place in Territory society and history.
Purpose of the Museum
The Museum aims to encourage greater awareness and understanding of the history of the Chinese in the Territory. The Museum is open to the public and other institutions, for general interest, research and education. The Museum is a stimulus for families and individuals to research and document their histories and serves to remind present and future generations of their heritage. The opening of the NT Chinese Museum is just the beginning. There is much more research to be undertaken; more themes to be explored and developed; many more stories to be told and photos and objects to be found and displayed. The Museum highlights the importance and explores the history of the Chinese contribution to the development of the Northern Territory and is committed to documenting and preserving the history of the Chinese in the Territory, particularly Darwin and the surrounding regions.

Editor's Note: This post is part of an ongoing series in which customers from different demographics describe what they are looking for from the financial firms they do business with.
Let me put it this way: I prefer the old-fashioned banking model. I don't care for mobile banking. I don't own an iPhone. I like my BlackBerry and I'm fine banking in a physical branch. The absence of mobile banking will not prompt me to change my bank. I live in the city. It's not a big deal for me to walk into a branch; they're all over the place. I appreciate the friendly staff and I almost never have to wait in line. If I lived in the suburbs and had to drive, then perhaps, I would use mobile banking more often.
I pay my bills online, but prefer to make deposits and withdrawals (over $500) with a person. I also need a live teller when I manage my brokerage and retirement account. My bank has assigned a person to oversee this account. Sometimes they call me to discuss my holdings, which is unnecessary because if I wanted to do something, I would've approached them myself. I think they got the message because after a while they stopped calling me, which I also appreciate. I don't like to be hustled. In short, a good bank has to be there when I need it to be, no more or no less.
I'm generally suspicious of any banking innovations. Any creative banking is an automatic blinking red light in my book. New products and services rarely are directed at making my life easier. Instead, they are meant to improve a bank's bottom line at my expense.
The two primary functions of banking should be to take deposits and to make loans. All other services should be supplementary to these two primary activities. I wish banks would refocus more on traditional services. This is particularly true when it comes to making loans, given all that money from the Federal Reserve sitting on the banks' balance sheets
For instance, I have about 70% equity in my apartment, but I'm unemployed which automatically disqualifies me from getting a new loan. Do banks seriously expect me to become delinquent? At 70% equity, they should want me to default! If I were a bank, I'd follow me around with offers to refinance! Refi-loans to the unemployed with a lot of equity sounds like a great new business.
Unfortunately, it seems the current-day banking model adheres to the following pattern: Interest rates are low; investment opportunities are scarce. Profits are lower. Something must be done! Let's ramp up the fees on poor customers.
I've been privileged to be able to maintain a balance that keeps me from being charged all kinds of fees. But it's easy to forget how expensive it is to be poor. Back in my student days, I always walked a fine line paying for groceries while trying to avoid overdraft fees. My occasional single-digit overdrafts usually resulted in a $25 fee, which was devastating for a student just trying to scrape by.
Banking on the poor and the weak to make a mistake seems unethical. Banks these days are in the business of maximizing profits; serving customers comes second. In modern day banking, customers are just a means to make shareholders happy. It seems like a myopic, unsustainable business model, but, I guess, that's the new zeitgeist.

National Animal welfare organization distributes "Choose Adoption" ribbons to reduce numbers in shelters
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 28, 2014) - The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) launched a teal Choose Adoption ribbon designed to elevate the concept of animal adoption across the country today.
"By tying a teal Choose Adoption ribbon on your dog's leash or collar you are identifying them as an adopted animal and raising awareness about the value of giving a home to a shelter dog," says Barbara Cartwright CEO of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies. "Right now there are thousands of wonderful animals in shelters and rescues waiting for the right person to adopt them."
Many dogs sold in Canada come from puppy mills, which are horrible breeding operations where dogs are kept in cramped, filthy cages their whole lives, deprived of adequate food, attention, and veterinary care, and forced to give birth to litter after litter of puppies.
"Adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue group helps save lives, and guarantees you aren't unknowingly buying from a cruel puppy mill," says Ms. Cartwright. "I'd love to go to my neighbourhood dog park soon and see every dog wearing a teal Choose Adoption ribbon."
A dog may end up in a shelter for many reasons including an unexpected move, allergies or issues with a landlord; most have nothing to do with the dog itself.
All reputable humane societies, SPCAs, and rescue groups conduct temperament tests on the dogs to ensure they are safe to be adopted out and are able to match up adopters with the dog whose personality will best fit their lifestyle and preferences.
Choose Adoption ribbons can be purchased directly from the Federation in packages of 10 or more. For more information visit www.findingfido.ca
Dogs are for life. Think carefully; choose wisely; love deeply.
About the CFHS
The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies is a national organization representing humane societies and SPCAs in Canada. Founded in 1957, the CFHS works toward positive, progressive change to end animal cruelty, improve animal protection and promote the humane treatment of all animals www.cfhs.ca.

"It's definitely a huge honour to be recognized twice for such a prestigious award," she said Tuesday, as she joined seven other nominees for the 2014 male and female BLG Awards, which will be presented April 28 in Calgary.
Colley, from East Preston, N.S., credited her support system at home and at the university for helping her win such recognition two years in a row. After last year's nomination, she was also selected for Canada's senior national women's basketball team.
Colley, a guard, was also picked as the most valuable player in Canadian university sport women's basketball for a second year in a row.
"Both years we had really great teams, a great group of girls," she said of her last two at St. Mary's.
"My coach Scott (Munro), he really makes sure that he brings in really good athletes but also really great people and I think that's what made us such great teams."
On the women's side, the other nominees are McGill hockey player Katia Clement-Heydra from St. Bruno de Montarville, Que., UBC volleyball player Lisa Barclay from Brandon, Man., and York sprinter Khamica Bingham from Brampton, Ont.
On the men's side, the nominees are University of Saskatchewan hockey player Derek Hulak from Saskatoon, Acadia hockey player Liam Heelis from Georgetown, Ont., Bishops football player Jordan Heather from Oromocto, N.B., and Carleton basketball player Philip Scrubb from Richmond, B.C.
Hulak has gone from a second-place finish with the Huskies in the CIS championship to the AHL's Texas Stars, farm team of the NHL's Dallas Stars, where the winger scored a goal with his first shot March 27.
"It's definitely been an adjustment," he said as the Stars wait to find out who they will play when the Calder Cup playoffs begin. "It's been exciting. It's been a great experience so far."
The two BLG Award winners each will receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship. The awards date back to 1993 and are sponsored by and named for the law firm Borden Ladner Gervais.
Last year, UBC volleyball player Shanice Marcelle picked up the women's award and McMaster football player Kyle Quinlan picked up the men's award.

Attending physician in the Tuberculosis Clinic of Denver Public Health
My research interest is the design and implementation of randomized clinical trials to improve the treatment of tuberculosis and HIV infection. I am the Chair of the scientific planning committee of the Tuberculosis Trials Consortium (TBTC), an international multicenter clinical trials group funded by CDC. The TBTC is currently evaluating a 3-month, 13-dose regimen for treatment of latent tuberculosis and is doing a series of trials to identify shorter treatment regimens for active tuberculosis. Within the TBTC, I am also active in the Pharmacokinetics Working Group and a committee developing trial designs for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
I help design HIV treatment trials through the NIH-funded Community Programs for Clinical Research on AIDS. Recent efforts have focused on the assessment of quality-of-life and transmission risk behavior among patients randomized to different strategies of antiretroviral therapy (continuous vs. episodic therapy).
Within the ID Clinic of Denver Public Health, my research interest is in the evaluation and improvement of adherence with antiretroviral therapy. Finally, I do research on the epidemiology and treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections (fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, etc.).

text: Distinction Between Miracles And Projection We now turn to the fundamental distinction between miracles and projection. The stimulus MUST precede the response, and must also (determine) (influence) the kind of response that is evoked. The relationships of S and R are extremely intimate. (The behavioristic terminology is because this part deals with behavior.) Behavior IS response, so that the question "response to what?" becomes crucial. Stimuli of all kinds are identified thru perception. You perceive the stimulus and behave accordingly. It follows, then, that : As ye perceive So will ye behave (HS raises point that Biblical language is hardly behavioristic terminology. Answer: No, but they needn't be OUT of accord with each other, either.) Consider the Golden Rule again. You are asked to behave towards others as you would have them behave toward you. This means that the perception of both must be accurate, since the Golden Rule is the Order for appropriate behavior. You can't behave appropriately unless you perceive accurately, because appropriate behavior DEPENDS on lack of level confusion. The presence of level confusion always results in variable reality testing, and hence variability in behavioral appropriateness. All forms of self image debasement are FUNDAMENTAL perceptual distortions. They inevitably produce either self contempt or projection, and usually both. Since you and your neighbor are equal members of the same family, as you perceive both, so will you behave toward both. The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look out from the perception of your own holiness and perceive the holiness of others. B. & you need considerable clarification of the channel role. Look carefully at Mrs. Albert. She is working miracles every day, because she knows who she is. I emphasize again that your tendency to forget names is not hostility, but a fear of involvement or RECOGNITION. You had misinterpreted human encounters as opportunities for magic rather than for miracles and so you tried to PROTECT THE NAME. This is a very ancient & primitive way of trying to protect a person. NOTE: The very old Jewish practice of changing the name of a person who is very ill, so that when the list is given to the Angel of Death, the person with that name will not be found. This is a good example of the curiously literal regression which can occur in very bright people when they become afraid. You & B. both do it. Actually, it is a device closely related to the phobia, in the sense that the narrowing of them both narrow fear to a simple aspect of a much larger problem in order to enable them to avoid it. A similar mechanism works when you get furious about a comparatively minor expression by someone to whom you are ambivalent. A good example of this is your response to Jonathan, who DOES leave things around in very strange ways. Actually, he does this because he thinks that by minor areas of disorganization he can protect his stability. I remind you that you have done this yourself for years, and should understand it very well. This should be met with great charity, rather than with great fury. The fury comes from your awareness that you do not love Jonathan as you should, and you narrow your lack of love by centering your hate on trivial behavior in an attempt to protect him from it. You also call him Jonathan for the same reason (see previous reference). Note that a name is a human symbol that "stands for" a person. Superstitions about names are very common for just that reason. That is also why people sometimes respond with anger when their names are spelled or pronounced incorrectly. Actually, the Jewish superstition about changing the names was a distortion of a revelation about how to alter or avert death. What the revelation's proper content was that those "who change their mind" (not name) about destruction (or hate) do not need to die. Death is a human affirmation of a belief in hate. That is why the Bible says "There is no death," and that is why I demonstrated that death does not exist. Remember that I came to FULFILL the law by REINTERPRETING it. The law itself, if properly understood, offers only protection to man. Those who have not yet "changed their minds" have entered the "hellfire" concept into it. Remember, I said before that because "nature abhors a vacuum", it does NOT follow that the vacuum is filled with hell fire. The emptiness engendered by fear should be replaced by love, because love and its absence are in the same dimension, and correction cannot be undertaken except within a dimension. Otherwise, there has been a confusion of levels. Returning to Mrs. Albert (not Andrews), she corrected your error about her name without embarrassment and without hostility, because she has NOT made your own mistake about names. She is not afraid, because she knows she is protected. She made the correction ONLY because you were inaccurate, and the whole question of embarrassment did not occur to her. She was also quite unembarrassed when she told you that everything has to be done to preserve life, because you never can tell when God may come and say "Get up, Dave," and then he will. She did not ask what YOU believed first, and afterwards merely added "and its true, too." The RIGHT answer to the SCT item is: When they told me what to do, I "referred the question to the only REAL authority." (HS note: If you ask somebody what he believes before you tell him what you believe, then you are implying that you will say what he approves. This is not "the real authority.") You took a lot of notes on "Those who are ashamed of Me before men, them will I be ashamed of before God." This was rather carefully clarified, even though the quotation is not quite right, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that elsewhere in the Bible it also says "Those who represent (or plead for) Me to men will be represented (or pleaded for) BY Me before God." (Note: This quotation is also not the correct Biblical phrasing, but it IS what it means.) Note that one who represents also "witnesses for." The quotation thus means that you represent or "witness for" the authority in whom you believe. Your witnessing DEMONSTRATES your belief, and thus strengthens it. I assure you that I will "witness for" anyone who lets me, and to whatever extent he himself permits it. Those who witness for me are expressing, thru their miracles, that they have abandoned deprivation in favor of the abundance they have learned BELONGS to them. 40. A MAJOR contribution of miracles is their strength in releasing man from his misplaced sense of isolation, deprivation, and lack. They are affirmations of Sonship, which is a state of completion & abundance. B's very proper emphasis on "changing your mind" needs clarification. Whatever is true & real is eternal, & cannot change or be changed. The Soul is therefore unalterable because it is ALREADY perfect, but the mind can elect the level it chooses to serve. The only limit which is put on its choice is that it CANNOT serve two masters. While the ballot itself is a secret one, and the right to vote is fully protected, voting ALWAYS entails both election AND rejection. If two candidates are voted for for the same position, the machine cancels the ballot automatically. This is necessary, because a split vote does not represent ANY REAL allegiance. Free will is the attribute of the mind, NOT the Soul. The Soul always remains changeless, because it never leaves the sight of God. The Creation of the Soul is already fully accomplished. The mind, if it votes to do so, becomes a medium by which the Soul can create along the line of its own creation. If it does not freely elect to do so, it retains this creative ability, but places itself under tyrannous rather than authoritative control. As a result, what it creates is imprisonment, because such are the dictates of tyrants. To "change your mind" means to place it at the disposal of True authority. The miracle is thus a sign that the mind has elected to be guided by Christ in HIS service. The abundance of Christ is the natural result of choosing to follow him. P.S.The reason you have been late recently (for work) because you were taking dictation is merely because you didn't remember to ask me when to stop. This is an example of the "indiscriminate or uncontrolled" miracle-working we already spoke of. It is well-meant but ill-advised. I prompted that call from Jack (taxi man – couldn't pick HS up, etc.) to show you that this is not necessary. Also, the other man needed the money more today. Note that you managed to fill your scribal role with no interruptions, and were also on time. Note also that you closed the book & put it aside WITHOUT consulting me. Ask "Is that all?" Answer: No: add the following: These notes are serving, among other things, to replace the "handwriting on the wall" which you once saw next to your own altar, which read "You have been weighed in the balance & found wanting." Scribes MUST learn Christ-control, to replace their former habits, which DID produce scarcity rather than abundance. From errors of this kind, the sense of deprivation IS inevitable, but very easily corrected.

Journal Article: Deposits, Character And Timing Of Recent Eruptions And Gravitational Collapses In Tatun Volcanic Group, Northern Taiwan- Hazard-Related Issues
AbstractTaipei City, with a population of around 8 million, as well as two nuclear power plants is located in close proximity to the Quaternary, dominantly andesitic Tatun Volcanic Group (TVG) of Northern Taiwan. We have investigated the stratigraphy of the youngest volcaniclastic deposits, as well as the morphology of lava flows and domes of the TVG in order to reconstruct the character and timing of the most recent eruptions and related hazardous events in the area. Our data indicate that recent eruptions of the group were dominated by long-term, voluminous extrusions of crystal-rich, very viscous lavas. These eruptions formed closely spaced monogenetic domes and lava flows. Based on morphological parameters of the lava flows (thicknesses 80-150 m, lengths up to 5.6 km, and volumes up to 0.6 km3), average rates of magma effusion ranged from 1 to 10 m3/s, eruption durations from 500 to 1800 days, and lava front speeds from 0.5 to 6 m/h. Explosive activity of TVG was diverse, ranging from weak phreatic to highly explosive (VEI 4) Plinian eruptions; vulcanian activity with deposition of lithic ashes was most common. Interaction of rising magma with ground water frequently occurred during the eruptions. This study presents the first radiocarbon dates of various volcaniclastic deposits of the TVG, which indicate that Cising, Siaoguanyin, and possibly Huangzuei volcanoes had magmatic eruptions in the period 13,000-23,000 years ago. In addition, Mt. Cising had a phreatic eruption 6000 years ago, and possibly an effusive eruption just before that. Gravitational collapses of volcanic edifices with volumes 0.01-0.1 km3 and H/L 0.16-0.25 were also common. They occurred on intersections with tectonic faults and may have been triggered by seismic activity. The youngest collapses occurred at Mt. Siaoguanyin (23,000 BP) and Mt. Cising (6000 BP). It is concluded that the TVG should be considered volcanically active. The results of this study provide a basis for volcanic hazard assessment and mitigation in the area.

Tom Waits Is Basically Edward Cullen, and Other Things We Learned at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Like, for example, Bruce Springsteen likes the Red Sox!
Last night, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Darlene Love, Tom Waits, and Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman in a typically boozy, profanity-laced ceremony at the WaldorfAstoria that went two hours longer than scheduled. Vulture sat through the entire bloated, often entertaining mess (which airs on Fuse this Sunday at 9 p.m.), and came away, we think, rather enriched with knowledge. Here's what we learned:
The Boss is a possible secret Red Sox fan
While singing the 10,000th repetition of the chorus of "Sweet Caroline," Neil Diamond wandered the floor of the ballroom, looking for willing souls to sing into the mike with him. Bruce Springsteen surprisingly jumped at the chance to sing the song that the Red Sox play at every seventh-inning stretch. Coincidence? We think not.
When in doubt, blame Barbra Streisand
While inducting Neil Diamond, Paul Simon posited a theory for why the Rock Hall had waited twenty years past Diamond's point of eligibility (which would have been in 1991, 25 years after the release of "Cherry, Cherry" in 1966). "Six words. 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore,' " said Simon. "A really beautiful love song sung with one of the greatest voices of the twentieth century, Barbra Streisand. Unfortunately, if it's Barbra Streisand, I'm afraid it's not rock and roll. Not even close. Which is a tough break for Neil, because Barbra doesn't care. She's got Oscars and all that stuff. If he did it with Elton John, it's a rock classic. It could go on the Simon and Garfunkel Valentine's album." Later, Diamond addressed the issue in his speech. "I love you, too, even though you didn't vote for me," he said, he said, gesturing to everyone in the ballroom, whom he'd just berated for paying $3,000 a ticket. "I don't give a shit. I still would sing that song with Barbra. She's the greatest. And guess what? She doesn't give a shit, either."
Rob Zombie has very strict rules about what does and does not "rock."
When we talked to the awesomely bearded Zombie backstage (on hand to induct Alice Cooper and join the band onstage for a rousing rendition of "School's Out"), he talked about the olden days of rock stars. When he was younger, he said, "I had no concept of being arrested or paying for damages, so I'd get to some venue with a ton of security, and I'd tell the crowd, 'Fuck the security!!!' and there would be chaos, and kids storming to the front, and everyone would break everything because I encouraged it. After the show, the police would always be waiting for me and they'd want to arrest me and make me pay for everything." But, he said, "I've always weaseled my way out of getting arrested. That's the ultimate rock-star move. They didn't catch us." Also not rock: Lady Gaga ("She's pop music. She's not my thing. I don't listen to any album made past '78") or fine dining ("Hot restaurants are not rock-star food. 'Rock star' means eating pizza on the bus after the show").
Alice Cooper loved Julie Taymor's Spider-Man musical
As he told us backstage, "Oh man, I loved Spider-Man. I am glad I don't listen to reviews because I never would have experienced this if I did. I love the idea that the show came at me; it came straight out from the stage and flew over me. The music was so cool and the lead guy was not a Broadway singer, which I loved. He was a rock singer. It was a real rock-and-roll experience for me. I don't know what anybody doesn't like about it!" He also thinks the producers should stop stressing. "They shouldn't worry. Like I tell people I work with, 'If you get in this band, three things are going to happen: You're going to get paid, you're going to see the world and you're going to get stitches. And that's just part of it.' "
Alice Cooper prefers some sharp objects to others
His manager told us that the rock star is afraid of needles and therefore doesn't have a single tattoo on his body. He is, however, okay with swords, one of which produced his favorite scar. "It happened because I pulled my sword towards the floor and missed the floor," he told us backstage. "Instead I put it straight through my leg. I pulled the sword out and was like, 'Yeahhhh!'"
Old rock stars like to make fun of themselves
After accepting their induction, the entire Alice Cooper band (who, of course, brought a snake), pretended to shuffle off the stage in the wrong direction. Doubling back, Alice Cooper joked to the crowd, "There's always that Spinal Tap moment."
We need to shop where Dr. John shops
Asked backstage where he got his shoes, Dr. John replied, "At the pimp store."
Elton John is a saint, but a bad friend
As Elton John inducted Leon Russell, he told the story of how Russell had been his idol and had given him a spot on his tour when he was just starting out in the early seventies. The next time he called him? 2009. Bad friend! John had introduced his partner, David Furnish, who is fifteen years younger than him, to Russell's music, which Furnish had downloaded to his iPod. Then one day in 2009, while shaving in Africa (these are crucial details), John borrowed Furnish's iPod and put on Leon Russell. "And I started to shave and I started to sob," said John. "That music took me back to one of the greatest times of my life." He found Russell's number and rang him up. He was still playing and still touring. They chatted for about five minutes, and when they hung up, John realized he wanted to make a record with Russell, so he called up T. Bone Burnett, whom he'd never met, and asked him if he'd produce it, which he said he would, and then called Russell back. "I said, 'Listen, you haven't heard from me in 38 years and you get two phone calls in 40 minutes. Would you like to do a record?'" said John.
What followed was what John describes as "one of the greatest years of my life, both musically and personally." He got to know the idol he never knew, and he got to watch Russell shake off the oppression of being a forgotten great talent. "He was frail when he came into the studio," said John. "He had a five-and-a-half-hour brain operation. But he still came to the studio every day and played his part and sang his part until he got stronger. And suddenly, with the love from everyone in the studio and all the other peers who came to play tribute to him, he became strong. He came to remember things that he had forgotten. I think he was so tuned out because he had been kind of forgotten. And I was incensed that someone who could write all those great songs like 'Superstar,' 'This Masquerade,' 'Delta Lady,' and 'Song for You' could be forgotten." In Russell's short speech, the only person he thanked was John. "Elton picked me up from a ditch on the side of the highway of life and he treated me like a king. All I can say is bless your heart, and hallelujah."
Tom Waits is indescribable, but basically just like Edward Cullen
Elton John described Waits thusly: "If Jackson Pollock could sing, he would be Tom Waits." But we prefer Neil Young's version, from his speech inducting Waits:
"I don't have a TelePrompTer. I don't have any notes. I don't have any real thoughts. I'm kind of blank. But I will say that this next man is undescribable and I'm here to describe him, or I'm going to try to describe what he does and why he's here. I can't tell you much about his life, because I don't really think that matters in the scope of things. This man is a great he's sort of a singer-actor-magician-spirit-guide-changeling kind of performer. And I've seen him standing in the middle of dust [indecipherable] and I thought I saw little sparkle things coming out from him, and I looked down while he was singing and I said, "This man is performing and I'm seeing maybe three or four of him up there, and they all seem to be waiting for the other ones to finish so that they can come in." And one of them was whistling at me and one of them was singing in Tom's kind of voice, and then the Eagles covered it."
Tom Waits's mom would have done anything for him
As he said during his performance, "This is just like the piano my mom got me. She couldn't afford it, but she threw a brick through a window and got that piano. She only got seven years for it. She was a good mom, from jail."
Tom Waits should write everyone's acceptance speech for every awards show.
We couldn't understand everything he said with that gravelly voice of his, but enjoy!
I just want to know if there's a key-chain version that I can keep with me just in case I hear someone say, "Pete, take the cuffs off. I think he's a Hall of Famer." Thank you for the kind words, Neil. I'm honored to be honored. And, gee, I don't know where to begin. Songs, uh, are really just interesting things to be doing with the air. I love working with tunes. I love music, but we really want music to love us. Neil was saying the other night, he said, "When there's a song approaching it's kind of like there's an animal in the room, and you don't want it to run off." You know, how did it get in?
I was, uh, fifteen and I snuck in to see Lightnin' Hopkins. I put white-out in my hair and I drew on a mustache and I put on an overcoat and I stood there and I said, "Ticket for one." Amazing show. Every time he opened his mouth, that orchestra of gold teeth was just devastating. And then I saw him leave the show and he walked through a door and slammed the door behind him. And on the door, it said, I swear to God, "KEEP OUT. THIS ROOM IS FOR ENTERTAINERS ONLY." And I knew at that moment that I had to get into show business as soon as possible. So, uh, that was a real big one for me. And I've had the pleasure and the privilege of playing with a lot of great musicians over the years. Some of you are here and some of you are not here. Some of us are on the wrong side of the dirt, as they say. But any day on this side of the dirt is a good day, for me and for all of us.
Let's see, what else? They told me I should talk for quite a while, but I don't intend to. I fully do not intend to. I'd like to thank my family. They know me and they love me anyway. My wife and her incandescent light that has guided me and kept me alive and breathing and sparkling. And my kids who, well, they taught me everything I know. Or maybe they taught me everything they know. I don't know. They taught me a lot.
Okay, I did the bit about the door and the club. Um, the first time I went onstage, my face felt like it was made of plaster and if I smiled, it would crack off, and I thought, "This is such an interesting [Christian?] experience" and somehow wanted more of it. They say I have no hits and I'm difficult to work with, and they say that like it's a bad thing. [crowd cheers] The only thing I really can compare this to is I was given the key to the city of El Paso several months ago. It was a really kind offer. They told me there's only one key to the city, but I found out later there were a whole lot of them, and they fit nothing. So, I'm just hoping there are some fringe benefits that go along with this baby. Thank you very much. This has been very encouraging.

Arizona State Completes Season Sweep of UCLA
Feb. 13, 2009
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- For three years, Arizona State forward Jeff Pendergraph had to listen to his friend, UCLA star Darren Collison, talk about the Bruins' domination of the Sun Devils.
No longer.
Sparked by a big 3-pointer by Derek Glasser, No. 18 Arizona State knocked off the 11th-ranked Bruins 74-67 on Thursday night. The Sun Devils (19-5, 8-4 Pac-10) became the first Pac-10 team to sweep the season series against UCLA (19-5, 8-3) since Washington in 2005-06.
"It's really satisfying," said Pendergraph, who had 14 points and nine rebounds. "That means I can come hang out with Darren and talk crap back to him. I've actually got something to bring to the table instead of hearing him talking about how they've been kicking my butt."
The Bruins have slipped a bit since reaching the Final Four the last three years. But this will still go down as one of the more significant victories in Arizona State's relatively meager hoops history.
When it ended, Sun Devils star James Harden scooped up the basketball and mounted the press table, waving to the hundreds of students who flooded the court. Harden, a Los Angeles product who spurned his hometown powerhouse, had 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds and came within two turnovers of posting an odd triple-double--a feat never achieved by a Sun Devil.
"One thing that I told our guys: I certainly want them to find joy in the moment," Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said. "This is a good night for us."
This was a duel between a tradition-steeped program and one hoping to ride the talent of Harden, a likely NBA lottery pick, into the ranks of the elite.
UCLA has won 11 NCAA titles. Arizona State has won 12 NCAA tournament games.
Arizona State entered in third place in the Pac-10, hoping to contend for its first conference title since joining the league in 1978-79. UCLA, which entered in first place, is going for its fourth consecutive title.
The Bruins came in with a 23-8 all-time record at Tempe and won its last four trips. But Arizona State had plenty of confidence having defeated the Bruins 61-58 in overtime at Pauley Pavilion on Jan. 17.
That confidence showed early. The Sun Devils bolted to a 19-8 lead midway through the first half, but the Bruins weathered the storm and pulled into a 35-35 halftime tie on Michael Roll's 3-pointer at the buzzer.
The Bruins took a four-point lead different four times midway through the second half, but the Sun Devils answered with three shots from beyond the arc and a three-point play by Pendergraph on a marvelous feed by Harden.
"Obviously, a very bitter, disappointing loss against a very good team," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "They got out to the early lead in the first half, and we did a good job clawing back and tied it up at halftime."
Josh Shipp had 16 points and Collison and Roll each added 15 for the Bruins (19-5, 8-3), who had a four-game winning streak snapped.
The final minutes were chaotic. Arizona State led 66-65 when Harden had a shot blocked, leading to a fastbreak layup for Collison, who scored and was fouled by Rihards Kuksiks. But Collison, who leads the NCAA at 93.7 percent from the line, missed the free throw, and the Bruins led 67-66.
On the next possession, Pendergraph blew a dunk, and then the Bruins turned the ball over on a shot clock violation.
Then Harden barreled into the lane and was greeted by a passel of Bruins. He whirled and found Glasser loitering alone in the corner, and Glasser buried the shot to put the Sun Devils up 69-67 with 1:12 to go.
"He saw me at the end and I knocked it down," Glasser said.
On UCLA's next possession, Collison drove for an apparent tying bucket, but the officials ruled that he had charged into Pendergraph--a call the Bruins heatedly protested.
"I thought it was a block, because the guy was moving," Howland said. "I've already asked my video person who saw a replay of the game, and he said, `Yes, you were right, he was moving, no question about it."'
Arizona State still led by two with 36 seconds left when UCLA's Alfred Aboya was called for a technical foul for touching the ball before Kuksiks inbounded it.
Glasser made two free throws, and then he fed Pendergraph for a thunderous dunk that put the Sun Devils up 73-67 and sent Wells Fargo Arena into hysterics.
The game attracted a crowd of 13,368, the largest of the season by far but not quite a sellout in 13,947-seat Wells Fargo Arena. Arizona State sold more than 50 tickets to NBA personnel, most of them general managers and scouts in town for this weekend's NBA All-Star Game.
"It was fun. It was electric," Sendek said. "They picked us up a couple of times when we were on the mat."

With Death on His Mind
On the evening of March 25, 1864, Abraham Lincoln sent his young son Tad to fetch a copy of Shakespeare's plays from the White House library. With the volume in hand, the president recited passages to an audience of one: Francis Bicknell Carpenter, a painter who was working on "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln," a portrait that now hangs in the Capitol.
After a while, Lincoln set down the book. "There is a poem that has been a great favorite with me for years," he said. Then he closed his eyes and declaimed 56 lines. He knew the words, but nothing else of the poem. "I would give a great deal," he said, "to know who wrote it, but I never could ascertain."
The author was William Knox and the title was "Mortality," though it was perhaps better known by its first line, "O why should the spirit of mortal be proud!" The theme is death, the great leveler that touches saints and sinners, kings and beggars, parents and children. Today, poet and poem would be almost entirely forgotten but for their connection to Lincoln.
Knox was born in Scotland in 1789. A descendant of John Knox, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, he showed a flair for verse at a young age but went into farming. He wasn't very good at it, possibly because he drank too much, and abandoned agriculture after five years. What he really wanted to do was write. His first collection of poems, "The Lonely Hearth," appeared in 1818. Two more followed: "The Songs of Israel," which includes "Mortality," in 1824 and "The Harp of Zion" in 1825.
The final book almost didn't see print. A publisher lost the manuscript, forcing Knox to spend several days rewriting its 65 poems in an impressive feat of recall. A few months later, Knox suffered a stroke and died at the age of 36. Sir Walter Scott eulogized him as "a young poet of considerable talent." Robert Southey, England's poet laureate at the time, also admired Knox.
Yet it was a former backwoodsman from the U.S. who kept Knox's words alive, helping the poet become a literary one-hit wonder. In 1831, a friend handed the then 22-year-old Lincoln a copy of "Mortality," untitled and anonymous, probably clipped from a newspaper. Lincoln had good taste in poetry, reading and memorizing works by Robert Burns and Lord Byron as well as Shakespeare. The obscure "Mortality," however, became the poem he liked best. "I would give all I am worth and go into debt to be able to write so fine a piece as I think that is," he wrote in 1846.
"Mortality" contains 14 four-line stanzas of anapestic tetrameter, meaning that it advances in four beats of three syllables, two unstressed and one stressed. Like much of Knox's work, its inspiration comes from the Bible, in this case the Books of Job and Ecclesiastes. The latter observes that there is nothing new under the sun, which Knox refashions: "For we are the same things that our fathers have been / We see the same sights that our fathers have seen / We drink the same stream, we feel the same sun / And we run the same course that our fathers have run."
The point of the poem is that death awaits all, regardless of station: "And the young and the old, and the low and the high / Shall moulder to dust, and together shall lie." Lincoln saw much of death. His mother died when he was a boy, his sister when he was a teenager, and Ann Rutledge, the love of his life before he met Mary Todd, when he was in his 20s. Two of his four sons died before him, and during the Civil War thousands of soldiers consecrated the grounds of Gettysburg and other battlefields.
Many Lincoln scholars have scoffed at "Mortality." David Herbert Donald dismissed it as "a tedious dirge." Ferenc Morton Szasz, who has written on Lincoln's appreciation of Burns, called it "mediocre." Yet Lizzie MacGregor of the Scottish Poetry Library praises the poem's "simple vocabulary and easy rhythm," which made it "easier for the man on the street to absorb." Douglas L. Wilson, a Lincoln scholar, has written that it "served as an emotional tonic for a man subject to recurrent and virtually disabling melancholy." In time, its appeal may have deepened for the Great Emancipator. Death makes men equal: The low and the high included the black and the white.
Lincoln recited the poem so much that some people assumed he had written it. The president always corrected the mistake. One listener eventually recognized the lines. Gen. James Grant Wilson knew "Mortality" and sent a copy of Knox's collected works to Lincoln. What Lincoln thought of the Knox corpus, or if he even read it, is not known. One story, perhaps erroneous, claims that Lincoln performed "Mortality" a final time on April 15, 1865, just hours before his assassination.
Although "Mortality" says nothing of an afterlife, Lincoln and Knox had a posthumous rendezvous. In 1893, the Scottish-American Soldiers Monument was built on the grounds of the Old Calton Cemetery in Edinburgh. Atop the monument stands a bronze Lincoln, the first statue of an American president erected outside the U.S. Nearby, in what "Mortality" calls a "dwelling of rest," lies the grave of William Knox.

Of the world's 23 species, only the North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) occurs in Canada, throughout mainland forests and thickets.
Of the world's 23 species, only the N American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) occurs in Canada, throughout mainland FORESTS and thickets.
Canada's second-largest RODENT (up to 18 kg and 103 cm long, including a 30 cm tail) has a stout, black and yellowish white body bearing 30 000 sharp, slightly barbed quills (up to 8 cm long) on upper parts and tail. When cornered, a porcupine erects its quills and lashes its tail. Quills are easily dislodged from the porcupine's skin, but cannot be thrown. MAMMAL predators (eg, FISHERS, WOLVERINES) avoid the quills by attacking the almost quill-free head. Slow-moving porcupines are vulnerable to automobiles and fires.
Reproduction and Development
One young is born 7 months after fall mating. It soon walks and climbs, is weaned within 10 days, and leaves its mother by fall. Porcupines are usually nocturnal and do not hibernate.
Usually solitary, porcupines sometimes share good dens or feeding areas. They eat bark, buds, and the leaves and twigs of trees and other PLANTS. Food, cut by 4 chisel-shaped incisors, is ground by 16 ridged cheek teeth. Some trees are damaged but extensive harm to forests is rare. Porcupines gnaw salty objects, tools and wooden buildings, and may damage corn or alfalfa.

I have been practicing my harp techniques for a few months now and would like to record my practice sessions into my computer through my Creative Sound Blaster Live drive. There are two MIDI ports (one in, one out) as well as SPDIF ports in and out.
Microphone aside, do I need to purchase a device, such as a mixer, to feed into the Live Drive or can it be done directly from the mic. I have not purchased the mic yet but I am leaning towards the Green Bullet.
Any input here would be most benificial to me. Thank you.

Don't Be Afraid, this is something ive had now for 10 years. and over time u learn how to control it, every time i dream its a lucid dream. the upside to this is being able to change the course of your dream, be and do anything you want, (It took me a few years to control my own). Sometimes is hard, sometimes its easy, it all depends on how strong minded you are to be in control of your own dream and any thing that takes place in that dream.
When Its a nightmare you must remember you are in control of that dream, nothing can scare or surprise you as long as you don't let it, if you are scared and imagine being chased by a monster then YOU WILL BE CHASED!! i know its hard not to imagine such things when you clearly in a night mare but that's when u got to be strong minded and take control. This is how i learned to control Lucid dreams.
Everyone is different and handles these dreams different, but when u lucid dream everything that takes place is all up to you.

arm wrestling and custody battles rule
I am a truck driver and semi-professional arm wrestler. I am always on the road but I still find time to work on my huge biceps. I am currently battling my evil father in-law for custody of my snotty little son, who I will eventually learn to love by the end of the movie. I also teach him how to arm wrestle. Also my wife recently died and when I turn my hat backwards my arm wrestling ability increases by ten fold like popeye's spinach. I would also like to give a shout out to "Human Growth Horomones".

Consumers aim to find a service that provides all of these elements allowing them to live life without worrying about their phone service.

VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol." This innovative residential phone technology converts voice signals into digital and then sends them to their intended location via high speed internet networks. In Arlee, MT, many consumers find this type of service convenient because they can use VoIP in any location they have access to a high speed, broadband internet connection, allowing them to have access to their home phone number when they are out and about. This is a great feature that can be advantageous for business or personal use.
There are many features that make VoIP worth taking the plunge. Though customers are unable to choose their own area codes when they use regular home phone service, VoIP services allow consumers to customize their phone numbers, including area code! Consumers also can include caller ID, unlimited and international calling, call forwarding, three-way calling, call blocking and more to their plans, with plans beginning at as little as $5.99 per month. It's inexpensive and filled with features that are easy to learn, no matter your level of tech-savvy, which makes it a great option for anyone who wants to save money and use a new, innovative service without spending years learning how to do it right.
A DSL phone service shares many similarities to a traditional phone service, as it uses the standard copper phone lines. The difference is that it also includes DSL Internet access through a modem that is usually supplied by the service provider, though consumers who already own a compatible DSL model may sometimes use their own. The service is essentially a bundle that combines telephone service and Internet access from the same provider.
The price of a DSL phone service will vary depending on the specific plan chosen by the subscriber. It is possible to find prices as low as $19.95 per month with a multi-year service contract. However, those who want a very fast Internet connection with no monthly data transfer limits will have to pay more. While there are providers offering DSL home phone service without lengthy contracts, their monthly plans are a bit more expensive and they may require that new customers pay an installation fee.
Some consumers like having their phone and Internet services from the same company. Unlike older dial-up Internet services that have largely fallen into disuse in urban areas, DSL technology allows people to use the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time.
When choosing a DSL phone service provider, it's important to do some research on how reliable the various service providers are. In a city like Arlee, MT, the cabling infrastructure is generally well maintained, making it unlikely for users to experience any serious service quality issues or interruptions. However, a provider's network may get overloaded at times of peak usage, such as during holidays. This could cause a slowdown in Internet connection speed and even make the service unusable for a couple of minutes.
People have used landline phone service for over a century. It utilizes copper wires attached to jacks in customers' homes. Subscribers may connect corded telephones or cordless phones that work in the vicinity of their homes. Sophisticated extra features are available, such as caller ID and call waiting. However, they usually cost extra. An advantage of corded landlines is that they normally continue to work during power and Internet outages. This technology doesn't rely on wireless signals or Internet communications, so it's generally quite reliable.
Each landline account is only accessible in one house or apartment. Another drawback is that this option costs more than VoIP. Although basic local-only service is cheaper, most Arlee, MT subscribers spend around $50 per month. They can add basic dial-up Internet for about $10 more. A significant advantage of landline service is that it delivers the clearest audio, especially when both parties are using corded phones. This proves desirable for people who spend many hours on the telephone or need to make particularly important calls. For example, a traditional landline is best for radio interviews.
Today, many consumers are choosing wireless home phone services in Arlee, MT because they can use the service anywhere. Most cell phone providers offer flexible payment options, and consumers can choose between prepaid, monthly or annual payment plans. Many wireless providers offer a variety of useful call features, and some common options are caller ID and voicemail. It's also quite common for providers to offer a mobile hotspot feature, which is very useful for sharing an Internet connection. When a mobile hotspot is activated, a customer can share their Internet connection and data with friends and family members. You can use Wirefly to compare cell phone plans in Arlee, MT and pick the best plan for your needs.
One of the top reasons to consider choosing a wireless phone service in Arlee, MT is the flexibility that comes from such a plan. Wireless plans are especially useful while traveling, and they can work just as well when used at home. The only downside of getting a wireless service is the cost. The average cost of wireless phone services is quite a bit higher than the other options, but many plans come with unlimited minutes and data. Another potential downside is that a wireless service doesn't work well in every location, and to get a signal, an area must be covered by the wireless provider. Unfortunately, not all areas are covered, so it's very important to check a coverage map before choosing a wireless service provider. Wirefly is one of the best ways to compare services and get the best deals.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

Statistically there had to be a wet one and The Grasmere Guzzler was it, but nonetheless it was by far and wide the best and most enjoyable one for me. Set in the beer garden of Tweedies Bar at the Dale Lodge Hotel it took place in a U shaped arrangement of marquees, sadly the central part of the U open to the elements prevented a full mosh pit developing though importantly it did cover the bar on which a line of sixty (count 'em) sixty real ales where arrayed and it's tribute to the success of the event that all barrels of these ales had been drained by the Saturday night, that's over FOUR THOUSAND pints of beer. Sadly the Naylors Velvet was the only beer left standing outside by Sunday Lunchtime and I can only wonder as to why this particular ale was somehow undrinkable compared to the rest. Huge thanks, big ups and love to Jack Hartley and Alex Goodall for the work they put in organizing this small and perfectly formed event and giving me the best job in the world as Master Of Ceremonies, completing the team was Mike Fearon on the sound desk and for me working with him put the icing on the cake or should I say gingerbread.

Shari: As someone who lives with hearing loss everyday, I am personally thrilled with the prospects for a cure. Life with hearing loss can be frustrating. Sometimes you miss the joke when everyone else is laughing and sometimes you miss important information because you don't hear it. Supportive family and friends can make living with hearing loss easier, but a genuine cure would be life changing. After having met and worked with our consortium scientists for these past two years, I am confident that we will have a cure in my lifetime. I am counting the days.
I first became involved with HHF in 2010 when I retired from Wall Street and was searching for a way to give back in the area of hearing loss. I have a genetic hearing loss, as did my father and grandmother, and I knew this was an area where I could make a difference. When I first heard about the Hearing Restoration Project, I was thrilled, and immediately wanted to be a part of it. I am in my third year as Chairman of the Board of Hearing Health Foundation and am even more excited about the prospects of a cure for hearing loss and tinnitus.

Kelly Jean is Site Captain for the Sip-N-Scribe: QED event taking place on Saturday, May 14 at 2:00 p.m.
Recently, I joined creative forces with Jenn Wehrung, who teaches the Young Writers Workshop at The Astoria Bookshop, to co-host a monthly Sip-N-Scribe at QED: A Place To Show & Tell. We are thrilled to be holding a bonus Sip-N-Scribe this Saturday, May 14, at 2:00 p.m. as part of Queens Writes Weekend.
Sip-N-Scribe is a chance to push away from your keyboard, put pen to paper, and mingle with other writers in person. While writing is primarily a solitary act, there are also times when you need to shake things up a bit and draw inspiration from fellow scribes.
Here's how it works!
- Round 1: Sippers-N-Scribers are given the first half of a creative writing prompt and start writing.
- Round 2: Everyone trades papers with a partner and, inspired by the second half of the writing prompt, continues working on the piece the first person started.
- Intermission: Drinking is not required, but beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase along with light snacks and pastries.
- Round 3: One last trade, plus a TWIST to finish the piece with style.
At the end of the session, people are encouraged to share the writing they co-created. The first two brave souls to share win a cookie! The goal is to experiment with something new on the page in an informal, relaxed way, all while hanging out with your friends and hopefully making new ones.
No one is here to write the next Great American novel. But hey, if that happens, please include us in the special thanks!
Thanks, Kelly Jean. Readers, we hope to see you there!
Be sure to check out the other Queens Writes Weekend events.

Whenever I'm taking care of my body, I like to use products that smell amazing. Its half the fun and while using products that work really well is what matters the most, I don't think that you should ever compromise on the fragrance of a product either.
That's where treaclemoon come in.
They're a happy, fun loving independent UK brand that really deliver with the products that they create as they work really well but smell amazing too which is what I love. They've been around since 2007 and now stock an extensive range of bath and shower gels, body scrubs, hand washes, hand lotions, bod butters and gift sets all in a variety of delicious scents. I've used one of their products before a cinnamon bath and shower gel that was so comforting to use after a long day out and about Christmas shopping. You can read my review of it here.
Most recently, I have been trying out three different products from treaclemoon and I can tell you that they have been a huge hit with not only me but my hubby and dad too. I popped these in my bathroom after photographing them just before I went on holiday and when I returned, I could see that they had been used a lot. Turns out that the boys in my life loved them and were using them over their more manly fragrances whenever they would have a bath!
So now that I've had a good chance to try them out, let me tell you all about what I think of them!
|Marshmallow Hearts Bath and Shower Gel*
What you'll notice about all treaclemoon products is that the design on the labels are so simple but really cute and they all have a lovely description on them that aims to capture the essence of the scent of the product which I really think that they do.
The Marshmallow Hearts Bath and Shower Gel is an absolute delight to use. I've tried to use it both as a shower gel and as a bubble bath and I was surprised to find that it actually works equally as well for either use. As a shower gel, it lathers up nicely, leaving my skin clean but not squeaky or tight and as a bubble bath, it adds just the right amount of foam and bubbles to the water that make my bath a relaxing place to soak in after a long day working, not to mention the amazing fragrance that it fills my bath or shower with!
|Those Lemonade Days Gentle Hand Wash from treaclemoon*
Like with the bath and shower gel, it is very gentle on the skin and cleans the hands well without drying them out. This is so important for us as my dad has psoriasis on the joints of his hands and I have it on my wrist.
The final product that I have been trying out from treaclemoon most recently is the My Coconut Island Body Scrub which smells heavenly. Whenever I use this, the fragrance immediately transports me back to the summer and the fabulous holidays that I enjoyed.
This is a gentle scrub which is perfect for those that like to exfoliate their body daily or every other day. It has quite a lot of little black beads inside it which are the exfoliating particles that help to slough away the dead skin cells from your body. I usually prefer a scrub that it a little more abrasive than this but if I use it on my body when it is damp but away from the running water, then I can work it up to be a little more harsh which has a more intense scrubbing effect. I love how smooth and soft my skin feels after using this scrub, especially as it also leaves a lingering light scent of coconut after use.
|My Coconut Island Body Scrub*
All of these products are vegetarian and vegan friendly; I love that treaclemoon's ethos is ' please remember that true beauty begins from the heart'.

Amanda's Top 3 Tips for Thanksgiving Success
There's still time to make this Thanksgiving even better than the last. We asked our fearless co-founders for the back-pocket tips they live -- and cook and entertain -- by. Read on for Amanda's, and find Merrill's here.
Today: Amanda's 3 ways to make Thanksgiving easier, funnier, and more interesting.
- Plan for your turkey to finish roasting 2 hours before dinner so you can carve it, arrange it on a platter, dampen it with some gravy, and simply rewarm it in the oven 15 minutes before you serve it. See how it lowers your blood pressure and frees up your oven! Sit down and have a cocktail with everyone!
- Seat your guests -- guests, like children, are comforted by structure. This way you can plan the seating and keep family dynamics in check (and you get to put the funniest person next to you).
- Ask everyone to say what they're thankful for -- it's sappy, yes, but the host of a Friendsgiving I used to go to would always ask this, and it's amazing what you learn about people when they're nudged to engage.
What are your tips for a successful Thanksgiving? Tell us in the comments!

The initiation of children into the sacramental life of the Church is primarily the responsibility and concern of parents (CIC 890, RC 3). Although the child has reached the age of reason at the time of preparation for First Eucharist, they have not yet been fully initiated. They joyfully await to receive the nourishment of Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist. As parents are called to assist their child in the life of holiness, we are here to support your efforts in every way possible.
In accordance with the teachings of the Church, we believe that parents are the first and primary teachers of their children in the ways of the faith. In Baptism, parents accept the responsibility of training their children in the practice of the Faith and to make it "their constant care." As stated in the Rite of Baptism (n. 120), parents are to see that the "divine life which God gives them [their children] is kept safe from the poison of sin, to grow always stronger in their hearts."
The Archdiocese of Washington requires a two year preparation in anticipation of receiving the sacrament of First Eucharist. Typically, students begin their religious education in first grade and conclude with the celebration of First Eucharist in May of the second grade year. If your child is older and has not received First Eucharist, please contact Jane Baily, Director of Religious Education, as soon as possible to enroll your son or daughter in our Special Sacramental Classes for older students. To share in Communion for the first time children must have "sufficient knowledge and careful preparation so as to understand the mystery of Christ according to their capacity" (Code of Canon Law 913).
If your child is in need of School of Religion classes (i.e. is not enrolled in a Catholic school) for First Eucharist and First Reconciliation, please contact Jane Baily, Director of Religious Education, at 202.449.3989 or .
