Lisa Tomarelli is a registered nurse who works as clinical support for the sales team of a biologics company. Even when she's traveling, the 50ish nurse finds time to work out and keep her body in shape for the many bikini competitions she enters. When she began putting on weight despite working out, she suspected the problem, and the answer.
"As a registered nurse, I taught bio-natural hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, fifteen years ago for a local pharmacist in Sarasota," relates the Scranton, Pennsylvania native. "When I was teaching and doing research on BHRT, I thought, I'll probably benefit from this when the time comes.
"About five years ago, I started putting on weight. I was exercising, so that shouldn't have been happening. I was also beginning to get a little moody and having some night sweats, and I could see other symptoms coming. I said, I know I'm perimenopausal. I should probably seek out treatment before I actually swing to the other side."
Initially, Lisa tried to influence her system by making changes to her diet and taking over-the-counter supplements to try to balance her estrogen levels. None of that worked, however, and she wasn't convinced that the creams the doctors in Sarasota were offering her were the most effective method of BHRT delivery. So, she did more research, discovered pellet therapy, then looked further to find a
pellet therapy provider nearby.
"I went back and forth to Tampa a lot, so I Googled who did pellet therapy in Tampa," she states. "I found Infinity Medical Institute. The staff at Infinity Medical Institute is very good at explaining what they do, and so I decided to start going there."
Natural, Effective Solution
Infinity Medical Institute offers bio-natural L3 pellet hormone replacement therapy, the most natural and effective solution for hormone-related issues.
"Through Infinity Medical Institute's bio-natural L3 pellet hormone replacement therapy, patients such as Lisa achieve consistent absorption of the proper, predictable levels of the hormones their bodies require for optimum health through the simple insertion of a pellet approximately every three to five months," explains Nuria Lisa Hahn, MSN, ARNP at
Infinity Medical Institute.
The pellets used in bio-natural L3 pellet hormone replacement therapy are derived from wild yam plants, a natural plant material that's molecularly changed in structure and function for a 98-percent bio-identical match to the body's own composition. Synthetic hormones, by contrast, can be as little as six- to eight-percent bio-identical.
"Hormones affect everything, including our growth through childhood, our sexual development, our moods, how we break down our food, sleep patterns, stress, how much weight we gain – just about every function in the body, big and small," informs Nuria. "They also play a role in many health conditions such as diabetes, an over- or underactive thyroid, osteoporosis, obesity, anxiety and depression.
"Our bio-natural L3 pellethormone therapy helps to give us an edge as we provide patients with a product that's all natural, and we stand behind it. It's the most effective hormone treatment on the market because it's naturally replenishing normal hormones with biologically identical hormones that the body is used to seeing rather than synthetic
versions of the hormones."
Comprehensive evaluations of overall health are performed prior to the pellets being administered. This ensures that the patient is receiving the proper amount of hormones.
"We want to be sure that the treatment we administer is going to be the overall best course of action for that patient," Nuria observes. "We're very thorough with the labs at every visit in order to see what has changed, and what needs to be altered.
"We want to be sure every patient is feeling the best they possibly can.
We not only look at their labs, but we look at their overall health because other issues, like diabetes or high blood pressure, can affect how the treatment is administered."
"I was perimenopausal for the first two years I went to Infinity Medical Institute before actually becoming menopausal," Lisa states. "I decided to start treatment there before I reached the point where I gained twenty pounds, was really moody, had hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms.
"Now, I go back to Infinity Medical Institute every three months and based on where my hormone levels are, we adjust the pellets. They talk with me, and we're in constant collaboration on whether a hormone needs to go up or come down, if I need more or less of something. They've been very good at working with me."
Customized Treatment
Nuria and the Infinity Medical Institute staff truly care about each patient and take the time to get to know the person they're treating.
"Every patient is unique, and we understand that," notes Nuria. "We get to know each one and understand their lifestyle so we can treat them appropriately."
"At Infinity Medical Institute, we've been offering bio-natural pellet hormone therapy for nine years," comments Mike Montemurro, president of Infinity Medical Institute. "We take an extensive therapeutic approach. We customize the treatment for each patient, and we use a superior-quality product. We cater to our patients, and make sure they get the best possible care, as well as exceptional results.
"We work very closely with everyone to optimize and restore their hormone levels to what they were when they were in their prime – back in their twenties. That's our goal, and that's why we get such significant results for our patients."
Mike notes that people often reach middle age and start experiencing symptoms such as lack of energy, difficulty sleeping and loss of sex drive and strength.
"When these symptoms start occurring, people need to visit us at Infinity Medical Institute and have their hormones checked," he emphasizes. "Once we get their hormone levels optimized with the bio-natural L3 pellet hormone replacement therapy, their lives will change significantly for the better."
"Many people come in saying they're not feeling vibrant, energetic, and they have other symptoms," adds Nuria. "Our aim for those seeking hormone replacement is to make them feel good from the inside out."
The Right Stuff
Bio-natural L3 pellet hormone replacement therapy at Infinity Medical Institute was a good treatment choice for Lisa. It took away her uncomfortable menopausal symptoms and left her feeling energized.
"With pellet therapy, my energy level is very high," she marvels. "After a full day's work, I have enough energy to work out six days a week at a pretty high intensity level. It enables me to maintain my weight so I can compete in bikini competitions and win first place in my age category.
"I tell the Infinity Medical Institute staff that I couldn't compete if I didn't have my hormones balanced in order to sustain the energy and the muscle I've built. I'm operating like I'm in my thirties."
With a careful diet, routine exercise and her hormones balanced, Lisa can easily keep her weight off. She feels good now, and she gives a lot of the credit to the bio-natural L3 pellet therapy.
"They always said in nursing school, When one hormone is off, they're all off, and that can affect a lot of things in your life," she states. "I don't have any more night sweats. I haven't had them since my first pellet therapy. I'm not moody. I don't have any menopausal symptoms, and I feel bad for women who go through them and don't seek out this therapy."
Lisa doesn't think any woman should have to go through the negative symptoms of menopause. She encourages them to seek out pellet therapy at Infinity Medical Institute.
"More and more people are finding out about BHRT and pellet therapy, and are seeing how much better they can feel," she says. "Even better, disorders such as cardiac disease and orthopedic issues are preventable by having your hormones in check. I absolutely recommend pellet therapy at Infinity Medical Institute."

This week's quirky burst of snow breathed new life into the twin ski resorts of Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, which were hanging on despite a disappointing winter that began with enormous expectations tied to the much-hyped El Niño weather phenomenon.
But it wasn't enough to reopen a couple of Southern California resorts that had already declared the season over.
"We got 10 inches in the last 48 hours," said David Likins, president of Mammoth Resorts, which owns and operates the two Big Bear resorts. "And that really helps to put a nice, white blanket on it."
Likins said the resorts planned to close April 10. Now, he said, they will remain open through at least April 17.
"We got nailed pretty good," said Clayton Shoemaker, marketing director for Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, in a telephone interview Wednesday. "It was a good cold storm. And it was really dry. It's going to make the surface conditions for the next week just amazing."
However, over at Mountain High in the San Gabriel Mountains the new snowfall wasn't enough to launch a spring revival at the popular resort that has been closed since Feb. 28.
"We received 2 to 3 inches overnight, a far cry from what it would take to reopen unfortunately," said John McColly, Mountain High chief marketing officer.
Nor was the storm enough to prompt Snow Valley in the Running Springs area to consider reopening, spokesman John Brice said in an email. Snow Valley closed at the end of the day Monday.
Bear Mountain and Snow Summit benefited not only from more snow this week, but also from more moisture than the other resorts received through much of the season. And a dumping during the first week of January enabled operators to build a 4-foot-deep base they maintained week after week by tapping an extensive system of snow guns and making their own snow.
Even now, Shoemaker said, the depth at the twin ski areas ranges from 24 inches to 30 inches.
Shoemaker said it was cold enough Wednesday to make more snow, but there were no plans to do so.
"When Mother Nature gives us this much of a shot in the arm, we just ride with it," he said.
Shoemaker maintained that the first weekend in April should be close to ideal for skiing and snowboarding.
"Here's Big Bear for you: it just snowed 10 inches. And it's going to be 60 and beautiful this weekend," he said.
Snowfall for the season overall across Southern California, though, has been disappointing for what was predicted by some to be a record-setting year.
The last big El Niño of 1997-98 delivered a spectacular supply of snow across the Southern California ranges. Confident of a repeat performance, the operators of Bear Mountain boldly crowed on the resort's website in November: "Let's get this El Niño party started."
There were visions of world-class skiing and snowboarding conditions lasting well into May. Instead, Mountain High didn't even make it into March, in logging one of its earliest closings ever.
And Snow Valley won't make it to April.
Because they were able to finesse a mix of natural and manmade snow, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit fared better. After drawing a combined 517,000 skiers and snowboarders last year, visitation soared past that and is approaching 700,000, Shoemaker said.
For winter sport enthusiasts who don't mind driving long distances, there will be an option well after the last-standing Southern California resort shutters its chair lifts.
Many of the El Niño-fueled storms that steered north of the region drove through the heart of Mammoth Mountain, which has had a banner year. Mammoth spokeswoman Lauren Burke said the Sierra resort averages 400 inches a year, and already has recorded 342 inches.
"This season we have been getting consistent snowfall, and the conditions are just fantastic," Burke said.

Freaky to a fault in Palm Springs
Sunday Times
Published: 13th June 2004
One of my companions in flip-flops began to move restlessly from side to side, no longer so enamoured of the landscape of Indian Canyons. The canyons lie to the south of Palm Springs, a place more famous for its celebrity mansions and golf courses than its natural wonders. But it is the wonders that first lured celebrities and golf out into the desert. Two hours from Los Angeles and encircled by mountains, the region is still part-owned by the Cahuilla Indians, and has dry desert air that keeps people alive well after their time.
The snake turned out to be a diamondback rattler, just out of hibernation. Gingerly, we walked down to a stream surrounded by rocky gorges, with the barren desert beyond. From here, you can take a 4WD trip to the San Andreas Fault, where shallow-rooted palm trees festively mark the crack, as if nothing could be more wholesome and pretty than an earthquake. There's an earthquake due now, a guide told us.
This is astoundingly beautiful land, and it has many tricks to play. In Joshua Tree National Park, for example, there's a coyote who pretends to have a limp. When he's been fed by sympathetic backpackers, he lopes off happily, every limb just fine.
The park itself is eerie, with huge blocks of granite dotted over the plains as if dropped from height by a clumsy giant. Here and there, tiny climbers scale the sheer outcrops, little insects in bright yellow and red; while all around, Joshua trees loiter in the apocalyptic landscape like an indecisive army, their leaves jabbing out in all directions (they are so named because a leaf pointed Joshua the way to the promised land).
It's easy to scramble up a boulder or two, and soon I was sitting on a round stone in the heat, surveying the unreal landscape. One of the vast boulders is split like butter, neatly in half, as if by a knife. Other outcrops make the shapes of lizards and tortoises, another that of a skull. The skeletons of dead trees melt back into the landscape and tumbleweed moves in the occasional breeze.
The area fringing the desert is uncertain, spooky. Along the road back to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, shops advertised psychic services — the area is apparently surging with supernatural energy. At one hillbilly thrift shop, full of broken toasters and threadbare coats, the overalled assistant thrust out a photo of a red-haired man with one earring.
"Have you seen this man?" she said. She leant forward, her eyes widening for the final revelation. I took a step back. "He's a sexual paedophile ... and he worked here!"
It's the unsettling beauty of the desert that makes Palm Springs so beguiling, not the glitz of its communities or the well-worn local legends about Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Apparently, Sinatra installed a helipad and 20 telephone lines at his Palm Desert compound, so that John Kennedy could make it his Californian White House. But Kennedy stayed with Bing Crosby instead, and Sinatra tore up the helipad in pique.
"So many houses out here have these tiny kitchens," one resident told me, "and then they'll have a big wet bar. The stars came to drink, lie in the sun and f*** each other crazy. If you look at the old pictures, people are just sloshed out of their brains — Sinatra and Dean Martin and all those guys. And they're baking in the sun."
Hollywood money helped to colonise Palm Springs in the 1930s and 1940s. Stars would buy little desert bungalows, then upgrade them — Bob Hope ended up with a house like a giant mushroom. Later, country-club communities sprang up in the valley, including Palm Desert, with its sandstone-and- cactus El Paseo shopping street to rival Rodeo Drive. Then there were the spas and clinics where the rich of Los Angeles came to recuperate and dry out.
It was in Palm Springs that Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon; their house can be hired for parties. Ronald Reagan had a home here; so did Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Even Greta Garbo owned one of the bungalows; curious for someone who wanted to be alone, as her neighbours included Liberace, Howard Hughes, Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, Joan Crawford and Clark Gable.
The stars still come, including Madonna, Goldie Hawn and Jay Leno, whose house has exuberant peacock gates (yes, I did one of those "homes of the celebrities" tours). The rich choose well. The colours of the mountains are continually changing, and the night air is so clear that the real stars dazzle. You can take an aerial tramway up into the snow and dine at the top of San Jacinto, looking at the lights below and the stars above.
The Palm Springs air is warm and soft as cashmere, instantly calming, and the mountains cup the valley like huge protective hands. There are no foothills; the mountains rise up abruptly — you drive to a shopping area to buy a toothbrush and it's as though you're driving into the mountain. In the pool at my first hotel, the Desert Fountain Inn, it felt as if I could swim right back into the mountain behind. It was an enchanted place, hidden away, without even a name at the gate.
The area has plenty of discreet, boutique-style hotels, some more discreet than others. One is a gay nudist hotel, with a blockaded walkway across the road so that guests can pass easily from one wing to the next.
The town is a gay mecca, something I hadn't realised until I eavesdropped on an overblown conversation in a diner. The jukebox was playing I Got You Babe (Sonny Bono was mayor of Palm Springs, and his statue welcomes visitors), and a man's voice said: "Sweetheart, I can't let you kill what is good, pure and innocent in our relationship... you're everything in the world to me." It sounded like something from a black-and-white movie starring slightly had-it stars, but when I looked up there were two brawny men with tattoos.
This place is big on nostalgia: in the "village", there is even a show called the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, where lavishly costumed ladies kick their legs in the air and sing old songs. Beneath all the feathers and sequins, the youngest is in her fifties and the oldest is a fine- looking 86. As I say, Palm Springs, is always playing tricks.
But don't come here for the vaudeville show, or the thriving Indian-run casino, or the cute Thursday-night festivals, with their street performers and stalls, or even the many good restaurants. Come for the desert and the mountains and the eeriness of the "Desert Edge architecture" — those houses wedged into the margins of the valley, looking very much like places to disappear into.
Even from my balcony at the Hyatt hotel, right in the middle of Palm Springs, the evening shadows pour into the folds of the mountains, the golf courses disappear and there is only the strangeness and the stillness.
Driving back to Los Angeles, I passed thousands of windmills spinning in the mist, gawky metal creatures that looked ready to take over the emerald golf courses. It was a fittingly odd farewell. A few people had recommended staying in West Hollywood after Palm Springs, and I spent a couple of days there among the high-octane clubs and malls. But I recommend doing it the other way round. Live it up in Hollywood, then recuperate in Palm Springs, like the stars.

Risk assessment quality varies within various sectors and Forest Schools are no exception. One local provider that claims to be a forest school was noted to be simply doctoring dates and names on their course risk assessment handouts before photocopying them and handing them in.
Risk Assessment is covered on Forest School Practitioner Level 3 Training in some detail and should include appropriate control measures that are followed.
Best practice should include an assessment of:
· The site – its inherent hazards such as water, slopes, dead wood at height, etc. and how risk from these hazards will be controlled
· The session – what activities/operations will be carried out and how will these be managed safely such as lighting a fire, using tools, etc.
· The Point of Work – an assessment of newly arising hazards at the time of work such as unexpected weather conditions, recent break ins, partially fallen trees, etc.
· Dynamic decision making – a flowchart showing the decision making process of how safety is maintained.
Often these are included in one document that is reviewed/rewritten every year or until after a significant event – whichever is sooner. However, the session risk assessment should vary with each session as part of session planning.
The Point of Work Risk Assessment is hand written at the place of work and may be as little as a statement that there are no new hazards other than those in the site/session assessment.
Note that a risk assessment is little more than a documented opinion on risk with a plan on how to control dangers. By discussing and approving the risk assessment with the provider you agree a consensus on safe working practice. This is far better than allowing a provider to work to their own risk assessment without your input.
Insist on a copy of risk assessments prior to work.
Ensure they are in date and relevant to your site and the agreed scope of work.
Discuss the risk assessment with your provider to satisfy they will be working safely.
Ensure the risk assessments are reviewed at the time of work by your forest school provider by getting them to sign onto the documentation on the day.
Get them to reassess and record new hazards stating how they will be dealt with.
Ask for the signed copy to be handed in or made available whilst on site.
Encourage your own staff to scrutinise the risk assessment and working practices so a consensus of safe working practice and a culture of openness is achieved.

A triple-junction RGB optical sensor with vertically stacked photodiodes and signal processing that provides precise values of the currents generated by blue, green, and red light is presented. The signal processing is based on the determination of the border depths of the space-charge regions of all three photodiodes. A current-mode implementation using current conveyors and variable-gain current amplifiers is introduced. The responsivities of all three photodiodes calculated using the proposed approach are in very good agreement with the measured results.

The Independent Media / Loeries 2015 Judges Wrap party held at Elangeni Hotel on 13th August 2015
The 13th August 2015 saw the Loeries 2015 Judges Wrap party being held at the Elangeni Hotel, in conjunction with Independent Media.
Keeping with the venues original tone and theme, we needed to supply décor and furniture to compliment the setting. A fresh, crisp, clean look was the order of the day.
The entrance was set with two white plinths and large Gladiola arrangements, being the first point of contact for the guests it is important that the look and feel of the event is brought across straight away. Glass cocktail tables with simple and elegant white flower arrangements greeted the guests once they had registered. Seating came in the form of stylish white leather backless barstools.
Following through the venue, simple but effective flowers arrangements, done in-house by FFA of course, flowed from the large center table, to coffee tables and the remaining cocktail tables. White leather couches, each flanked by stylish and clean looking white fringe curtains were brought in to soften the tone in the room and create alternate pockets for guest seating. Chrome and glass coffee tables allowed us to keep a slightly more formal feel, even though it was a party, we didn't want it to feel too relaxed.
As with any event and function, bringing in elements of colour is important. Too much in a subtle environment and you feel overwhelmed, too little and you are left feeling desperate to break the bland and dull mood created. With the venue overlooking the beach and have a clean beach vibe, we brought in subtle tones of stone and cream in the form of cream scroll table cloths for the cocktail tables, and stone printed cushions from the exciting range supplied by Craig Adam Original Designs. Hints of red were also seen as Independent Media were the primary backing for this particular event.
And of course with it being an indoor evening event, no setting is complete without the plentiful use of candle light. The depth and texture created on the tables would just not have been the same without the use of our stunning silver pillar candle holder and glass votives.
The overall look and feel of the event was definitely exciting, yet kept within the boundries of a formal judges wrap party. This was definitely a successful setup and a brilliant event to be a part of.
Thank you Loeries and Independent Media for being a great group of people to work with!!

In Melissa Broder's The Pisces, a Darkly Erotic Love Story Between a Woman and a Merman
In her debut essay collection, 2016's So Sad Today, the poet and Twitter personality Melissa Broder wrote about her open marriage and an extramarital relationship she conducted over the course of more than a year with an intense, non-committal younger man who lived in another city. It began as a 21st-century epistolary romance: first via DMs, then as a series of sexts, trading back and forth fantasies that escalated from the purely pornographic to the hilariously absurd ("I want to go deep in your Twitter feed and fave an unfaved tweet . . .") to the absurdly metaphysical.
Since So Sad Today, Broder has published a book of poetry—Last Sext (perhaps you're noting a theme)—and now her first novel, The Pisces, which is a little like one of those tweet-length flights of fancy spun out into book-length form. It's also the dirtiest, most bizarre, most original work of fiction I've read in recent memory. Lucy, around 40, is a grad student at a B-list university in Phoenix—nine years deep into a listless doctoral thesis on Sappho ("Accentual Gaps: Sappho's Spaces as Essence")—whose long-term relationship with an emotionally unavailable documentary filmmaker has just sputtered to an unceremonious stop. Suddenly single, deeply depressed, Lucy jumps at her wealthy older sister's offer to spend the summer dog-sitting in her empty, lavish Venice Beach pad. But rest, relaxation and police-mandated group therapy (this after a mildly violent altercation with the ex) quickly fall by the wayside when Lucy embarks on a Tinder-fueled sexual rumspringa and then, while on a beach walk one night, meets a mystery man bobbing around in the ocean. Theo is young, preternaturally sexy, and strangely nocturnal in his swimming habits. The reason eventually becomes apparent: He is a merman. Shortly after letting Lucy in on his secret, he's treating her to mind-blowing orgasms on the jetty that connects his oceanic world to her land-bound one. And it only gets weirder from there (suffice to say, I read The Pisces on an airplane and blushed hard enough that I'm fairly certain the stranger in the aisle seat noticed).
Broder has a talent for distilling graphic sexual thoughts, humor, female neuroses, and the rawest kind of emotion into a sort of delightfully nihilistic, anxiety-driven amuse-bouche. (Before she outed herself ahead of the publication of her essay collection, she was a book publicist who anonymously tweeted her against-the-grain tao under the pseudonym @SoSadToday, to the delight of celebrity fans like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. Sample tweet: "compulsive self-analysis that leads nowhere is my jam.") The Pisces is proof that she can sustain this 140- and 280-character knack over hundreds of pages and a narrative arch. It's a very funny farce of a book about the kind of love that really can't last, about the way a person, deeply in touch with her own sexuality and deeply aware of her own issues, can still allow herself to be sucker punched in her psychological blind spots. It's about the metamorphosing power of addiction—Broder has written about her struggles with alcoholism—how the thing that seems like the solution can really be the problem in disguise. Having read Broder's essay collection and novel in close succession, it's easy to graft plot points from the former onto the latter (the real-life relationship of Broder's that Lucy and Theo's recalled for me grew so problematically intense that Broder cut off communication, admitted everything to her husband, and recommitted herself to monogamy).
But Lucy isn't the author: She's a Pisces, for one ("prone to a little bit of leakiness"); Broder, who writes a horoscope column for Lenny Letter, is a Virgo ("into making order out of chaos"). This novel is both of this world and not. Broder finds the surreal in the carnal (in this way, her book reminds me a bit of Miranda July's The First Bad Man) and the mundane in the extraterrestrial. Mer/human relationships have been a literary preoccupation since literature's earliest days (Homer's sirens, et cetera). Here, the traditional equation—mermaid holding a helpless, doomed man in her thrall—gets turned on its head and into a kind of a therapist-couch breakthrough.
Broder finds something both resonant and amusing in our cultural attraction to these kinds of ultra-romantic death wishes. "What's the greatest Western love story?" she prompts, video-chatting with me from her home in Los Angeles, where she's working on a screenplay adaptation of her novel for Lionsgate. "The template is Romeo and Juliet. They die for each other. They are forever in youth. These are not good things to aspire to. Our therapists would be like, Bitch put down the phone. Walk away." Theo's mer-ness is just another of love's many toxic booby traps. His and Lucy's structurally impossible union (habitat-wise, not anatomically: he explicitly has a tail that begins south of his genitals) reflects other more familiar impossibilities: that, for example, of sustaining the heady, intoxicating exhilaration of early infatuation, of lingering too long, as Broder puts it, "in that desire for annihilation in a moment."
It's the question that obsesses her: "Why can't a moment last forever?" she asks, flipping her long, straight, highlighted hair and snapping the Nicorette gum she chews at all times. (Her looks are borderline mermaid-y, an edgier Daryl Hannah in Splash, but her vibe—funny, confessional, nasal—is entirely earthy.) We discussed her fascination with "fantasy love" versus "responsibility love," why she began writing fiction, and why she made Theo a merman. (For the record: not even in the "top five mythological creatures I would get with." That list includes the kraken, vomiting Cronus, and Apollo. "Such a twink, totally my type.")
Let me start by asking: What's your astrological chart?
I'm a Virgo. Scorpio moon, Sagittarius rising. So my relationship to astrology: When I was 19, I went through a breakup similar to Lucy's. I was stoned all the time and like, very deep in the fake cheese product. I got really into astrology because I wanted to be able to control the universe and bring love back to me or whatever. And since then, I've given up on astrology. I'm like, it's bullshit. But it's kind of like if someone's a lapsed Catholic, and they still believe in hell even if they're like, fuck the religion? I still won't have sex with an Aries, you know what I'm saying?
Give Lucy a reading.
The Pisces is actually the 180 of Virgo. A Pisces really knows how to enjoy that TV show, eat dinner in bed. Lucy's pretty heady for a Pisces. Virgo's sort of the opposite, always thinking about everything. I also thought of it more in terms of a literary device: It was like, how perfect? The Pisces is two fish. It's this play on: Am I a whole person? Can I be a whole person on my own? Can someone else complete me? I don't think we actually need another person to complete us, but I've also given up on trying to be whole. I feel like accepting one's fragmentation—that's a nice place to be dwelling.
In a way, the various parts of one's astrological chart, they're speaking to the idea that we have opposing forces inside of us.
Totally. When you go to therapy it's always like, the desire for integration. I still look outside of myself all the time. What can I get high on? I've been sober for 13 years, so I have very few things. I can still cobble together a shitty party out of Internet validation, Coke Zero, Nicorette gum, achievement, beauty shit. But it gets narrower. So I do still look outside myself. I'm not in any way enlightened. But I used to think there was an answer outside myself, that you could become this whole, integrated, seamless person. I think the older I get, it's within, which is annoying, because who wants to go within? But also, it's like, the more we embrace that idiosyncratic, conflicted, hypocritical, fragmented aspects of ourselves—the crack in us—then I think we can be more comfortable with being alive. That's been my experience.
You're a poet and an essayist and a Twitter personality. When did novel-writing enter the picture?
I never thought I was going to write a novel. I lived in New York until about four years ago. I had a poet's pride. I didn't have an agent. If you're a poet in 2018, you're not doing it for the fame or money.
If you're a poet in 2018, you might actually be doing it for the fame and money, but 2018 is literally the only year when that might be true.
You're right. Good point. But this was 2014. I had this poet's pride, fuck prose. Why would you say in 300 pages what you can say in one? Poetry is noble. It's the distillation. I used to always write poetry on the subway in New York on my phone because I don't like writing at a desk. As a perfectionist, I like to write in places where I'm not supposed to be writing, so there's less pressure. But when I moved to L.A., I started driving, so I started dictating, and what happened was my writing started getting more conversational. I stopped having line breaks. So that's how So Sad Today happened, literally just as a result of the geographic change. Then after I finished writing So Sad Today and Last Sext, I still felt this desire to, and probably always will, explore why fantasy love feels so much more intoxicating than love as verb, responsibility love. Why so many of the great loves in art, if we were to play them out, are not good. If Heathcliff and Cathy's therapist got wind of what was going on she would be like: Do not contact him for 90 days.
I started writing poetry again and I felt I was writing the same poem. The first four years I was in L.A., I lived in Venice. I was reading this book called The Professor and the Siren by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, a dead Italian writer, about a man's love affair with a mermaid. And I was like: holy shit! I never realized how much the mer-creature embodies all these questions I have. But I was like: Why is it always a man and a mermaid? What if it was a woman and merman?
You mean that these stories are about impossible love.
Yeah. Forever, men have been walking off the back of ships to their watery grave because once you get a taste of that sweet, sweet nectar, life on earth is shit. What's going to follow that? So that relationship between human and siren I feel like embodies that dichotomy in this physical, symbolic way. Why love that has roadblocks can feel so much more intoxicating than love that is easy?
I just read So Sad Today and couldn't help but notice that there are things there that you've repurposed here. Was making Lucy the opposite astrological sign a way to find distance from the character? How do you think about the boundaries between non-fiction and fiction?
You know, I talk in So Sad Today about becoming monogamous again with my husband and with that, I think came a mourning of, like, a way of life for me, and a way of coping, and sort of an experiencing of mermen in the world, so to speak. Because I do think there are mermen on Tinder. I don't think you have to go to the ocean to meet your merman. When people ask me if Theo is real, I say, he's as real as anyone we're ever romantically obsessed with. How clearly do we see that person? And so for me, a lot of my mourning and questions came from this choice I made. It was a way to continue living in that world, and mourning the death of some fantasies.
In interviews about So Sad Today, you talked about how your husband didn't want to know about or read about relationships outside of your marriage. But you dedicated this book to him. Does fictionalizing these feelings serve as a sort of bridge?
I don't think this is why I fictionalized. I'm so fucking sick of the sound of my own voice. And also, I'm not that old. How much more do I have to say about my own life? But there was something: My husband is my best reader. He's amazing. He's my editor. He's the one who gave me the Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa book. He also gave me two other books around that time to read: Death in Venice by Thomas Mann and The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante. Those three books influenced this one a lot, so it would not have existed without him. Hence, the dedication. But it was totally easy for him to read this, knowing of course that his wife is a big ho. But he read and edited the shit out of it, and loved the sex scenes.
Lucy's dissertation seemed to me to be a joke for the reader—not to be too literal.
I don't think I intentionally was like, don't read too much bio into this because certainly, I have not been afraid in the past of putting it all out there. It's not like now I have this vested interested in playing it close to the chest. But I do think there's something about the academics, and their focus on Sappho's bio, and reading the art through that. And how in our contemporary culture, there's a real focus on biography. The question is being asked: Can art ever exist independently? My answer when people ask, can you like the art and hate the artist, is, "I don't know. Can you?" I have been able to do that sometimes, and sometimes I'm like, "Eww. I don't want to."
But what I was really getting at with that was our deficit of mystery, the way we want to figure shit out. The gaps in Sappho's text, time has erased that. That's not coming back. There's more missing than what's there. Nowadays, we have the information at our fingertips. We can fill in all the missing gaps. When I'm at dinner with someone and I'm missing something, I can get on my phone. When something mysterious happens it's an excuse to get back on the phone, which I love, because I'm addicted to my phone. It's funny, because astrology is both of those things: a desire to try to make everything make sense, but then there's something very mysterious about it, elements that are bigger than us, that we can't control. I won't speak for everyone, but for me, as a human being, it's very hard to let what's missing be missing.
Lucy's on Tinder, but she's not, for example, tweeting. I've talked to a lot of writers who say they deliberately set their projects pre-social media because social media can kill a story. Do you agree?
The fact that she wasn't on Twitter was totally unconscious. I always saw Lucy as a little older than me. Tinder is very new for her. It's like, "Holy shit, what is this drug? This is fucking amazing." When I went on Tinder, I had been in a relationship for a long time, so I didn't know. And then I was like, "This is fabulous!" Not knowing the disgusting elements: rejection, meaninglessness. I was like, "Oh my god, you're online shopping. For dick!" You know, when you've been online shopping, you obsess over an article of clothing for hours and hours and in the end you don't end up buying it. And then you feel a little empty and disgusting after, but also it was so enjoyable while you were doing it? But it's like: Where did I just go? That, to me, is the Tinder sensation.
Tinder dates are like if you order something. Like, I really want to wear one of those sheer black mesh shirts that teens are wearing with a black bra underneath. But I don't know if I can pull it off. So I'm going to get one for $9.99 on Amazon. In my vision of what this experience is going to be like, I just know who I'm going to be. And then when I get it, it's going to smell like polyester, and it's not going to look anything like the vision in my head. Nine times out of 10, that's what Tinder dating is like.
Is this going to be your book tour look?
Well, we're going to find out very soon!
Your novel has a great way of existing both in mythological space and very real space. For example, Lucy gets a urinary tract infection because she doesn't pee after sex. It's a pet peeve of mine that peeing after sex is never represented on-screen or in books. And therefore every woman has to find out the hard way.
Totally. I have a committed relationship to things like that: urinary tract infections, taking a really long time to cum. Whenever I read erotica, I'm like, she cums in four seconds. She's cumming on page 121. I would not have cum until page 138. UTIs and yeast infections take up a lot of space in my psyche and have always been a big part of my sexual life. On the one hand, there can be a fantasy world, but on the other side, these things are real. I always pee after sex. Even if you're fucking a merman, it doesn't mean you don't have to pee after sex, and it doesn't mean you're going to cum super easily. You know?
This interview has been condensed and edited.


text: teacher Posted May 10, 2015 I'm down. Oh, lookie here, we have us a flake. You and I make two. Honestly this thread isn't as much fun as it could be without them in here, Don't be gettin all soft on me, junior, they have the rest of the site to do their thing, including a whole forum of their own. You folding already? Not to mention you kinda contradicting yourself with your intent from that first thread. Yes, I am a stern taskmaster, but would you rather hear it from me or them? If they were smart enough to find your flaws, that is. Remember what JT said... Boss , don't be mad at teacher, because teacher is like that and he meant no harm This place is Hell, and I rule. In text, that is. The other part? I'm A leader. That gots nuttin to do with ruling. it's just fair that's all No, it's not fair, it's again our rules, fair is they have the rest of the site to spew their swill, and they have a place to spew their swill where you and I can not reply. All we are doing here, in this single instance, is givin skews some rope to hang himself. He ain't gonna do it. Here's how this works... Now that I said "he ain't gonna do it" he may do it. This is bait, that's ALL it is. If he takes it? Well, show me where skews has ever got the better of me. skews can copy/paste any of this and bring it to my thread where our rules do not apply, not like he doesn't have an opportunity to have his say. Maybe they will feel the results of their constant actions and not enjoy so much the voicelessness of their censorship. Bless your heart, you really don't have a clue. How old are you? We gots us a thread now, baby. - Please, don't ever, ever emoticon/smilie me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being an active investor, it's natural for me to want to combine my two favorite pastimes and focus on investments in sectors that I think will benefit from technology advances in the coming years. Specifically, I think that robotics, artificial intelligence, genetics and nanotechnology will play pivotal roles in the coming decades. As such, I'd like to share with you a few of the investments that I have taken an interest in over the past year. Please be advised that I have personal investments in the companies listed below as of the time of this writing. In fact, I would not feel comfortable making a recommendation for a stock that I was not willing to personally invest in. It's up to you to decide on an investing strategy that makes sense to you in regards to your own personal goals. Please make sure to do your own research, or consult with an investment advisor before making any investments.
Honda Motor Company (HMC) is certainly known for their automobiles, but if you look at their current research and development strategy, you'll also find that they are also focused on providing robotic solutions. Although too expensive for the mainstream market today, the ASIMO robot is well down the path toward being the automated home robot that we've all been expecting since watching the Jetsons cartoons. I find it fascinating that we are living in times where an autonomous robot has achieved fairly natural bipedal locomotion and can navigate obstacles while holding a drink tray or pushing a food cart.
iRobot (IRBT) is another favorite of mine. I gave two of the Roomba sweeper robots as Christmas presents several years ago to my extended family and kept a third for myself. I was simply amazed by the ability of these devices to keep up with the crumb trail that follows behind our children. We mercilessly forced it to clean up endless pet hair tumbleweeds, crayon shards and an uncountable number of Little Einstein cereal loops that had been pulverized into the carpet. While their domestic robot line has grown recently with the addition of floor washing, pool and gutter cleaning robots, you may not be aware that iRobot designs robots for the government and industrial sectors as well and has already delivered 1,000 of their PackBot robots. You can visit their web site at www.irobot.com.
Nuance Communications (NUAN) is a leader in the speech recognition market with their Dragon Naturally Speaking software for the desktop. Microsoft embedded this technology in the Vista release of Windows, but I personally find that the Dragon solution is more powerful and accurate. Nuance is positioned to do very well in the coming years with voice-activated telephone services, other technologies which permit the control of devices and applications by speaking and healthcare dictation and transcription services.
Happy investing!

Fordham Law won the championship as well as the best brief award in the south region of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, held Feb. 21–24 in New Orleans. The team consisted of 2Ls Miyoshie Lamothe-Aime (captain), Lauren Gorab, Reece Pelley, and Tomas Barron.
Professor Maria L. Marcus, the team's faculty coach, noted: "The competition problem was very complex, and 'red herrings' were scattered in it. While opposing teams became distracted by these irrelevant issues, Fordham's team members avoided all the traps. Their level of preparation was magnificent."
The competition case involved the fictional countries of the People's Democratic Republic of Anduchenca and the Federal Republic of Rukaruku. Anduchenca had discovered off its coast an autonomous underwater vehicle from Rukaruku. The presence of this vehicle, along with Anduchenca's possession of a submarine purporting to carry nuclear weapons, raised claims that international law had been breached. Rukaruku instituted international arbitration proceedings against Anduchenka.
Assuming the roles of representatives from the two countries, competitors engaged in dialogue and debate in order to reestablish peace. On Fordham's team, Lamothe-Aime and Barron were agents for applicant Anduchenca, while Gorab and Pelley were agents for respondent Rukaruku. Though representing different countries, all four students worked together to achieve their collective team victory.
"The best part of our team is that we are all there to help each other," said Gorab.
The team started their research last semester. Over winter break, they began writing briefs—or "memorials" as they are called at the international level. In mid-January, they commenced mooting.
"I was so fortunate to have these people on my team and not against me," said Lamothe-Aime.
The team faced a range of challenges throughout the entire competition process. They had to make time for many hours of rigorous work within their already-busy schedules, and the necessary research was extensive. The team members were not without doubts.
"Constantly going back and second guessing yourself was stressful," said Pelley, who also received an individual award for seventh-best oralist.
Despite the initial trepidation, their hard work paid off. During the competition, they spoke with confidence, even going so far as to correct a judge who misidentified an article number.
The team members also had support. They expressed gratitude for their bench team of fellow 2L students, and for their coaches, 3Ls Tina Milburn and Ashna Pai, who also served as student editor. The coaches, they said, played the pivotal roles of assisting with research strategies and boosting group morale.
"I'm very proud of us and glad to have shared this experience with my three teammates," said Barron.
"We support each other inside and outside the moot court," said Lamothe-Aime. "We don't feel just like a team but also like a family."
The team competed again during the first week of April in Washington, D.C. The final leg of the competition, which is the oldest and largest international moot court competition worldwide, brought together law students from 100 countries across the globe. Although the team members did not advance, they found the rounds a very exciting learning experience.

Chinese Dwarf Hamster - Cheeks Full of Cuteness

Thinking of bringing home cute, little hamsters as pets for children? There are a few things about them that you need to take into consideration.
Getting home a sweet, little animal, like a hamster―or a gerbil for that matter―can be a nice option for those who don't want to keep big pets. There are different species of hamsters; the Chinese dwarf hamster (

) being just one of them. Despite the use of word 'dwarf' in their name, these hamsters are 'technically' not dwarfs.
Chinese Dwarf Hamster Facts
Also known as striped hamsters or Chinese striped hamsters, they measure roughly about 2.5 - 3 inches in length, and thus, are often mistaken for mice. They have a hairless tail, which is about 1-inch long. Their coat appears banded with light and dark colors.
The prominent black line along their spine looks nice on their dark-brown back. Similarly, ivory-colored soft bellies make them look very attractive.
Hamsters are expert diggers. In the wild, they are always busy constructing burrows, planning entrances, and designing galleries. They also have to design and dig tunnels for temporary hibernation. They have fragile bones and thus, they are most likely to get injured if handled roughly.
If you are getting them for your children, you need to make sure that your children handle them with utmost care.
How Do They Fare as Pets?
As they are very active, it is your duty―as a pet owner―to provide them sufficient space to help prevent boredom. They require a lot of room to roam. Buying a pair or having them in small groups is actually recommended. They have a lifespan of 2.5 to 3 years.
Though they are nocturnal in the wild, they will be active throughout the day in captivity. If they escape from their cage, they are more likely to get hurt because they are very small and have poor eyesight. They are mostly nearsighted and colorblind.
However, they do have an amazing sense of smell and hearing. They can easily find out scraps of food and are sensitive to movement around them, especially to high-pitched noises. Studies show that hamsters can communicate ultrasonically.
They cannot survive sudden temperature changes. Aged hamsters usually become aggressive and start fighting with their roommates, especially females! You may have to make separate arrangements for them.
Avoid wire cages and cedar or pine wood shavings, as these can prove harmful for your pet hamsters. Proper ventilation is necessary to prevent strong smell of ammonia from their urine.
What to Feed Them?
You can buy good quality hamster food, combine it with fresh foods, and feed them. As they are omnivores, they will eat most of the things offered to them. Sharp incisors in their jaws help them cut and gnaw.
Hamsters can stack a lot of food within their expandable cheek pouches, which is why they can survive for days without food. They continuously chew the stored food. Their diet may consist of fresh fruits, vegetables (both, fresh and dried), grains, and seeds in small amount.
At the same time, they are also known to feast on mealworms, meat, dog biscuits, boiled eggs, yeast tablets, low sugar cereals, and mixed bird seeds.
Excessive consumption of food may result in severe health problems. Sugary treats should be strictly avoided, as these hamsters are prone to diabetes. They eat their own feces. This actually helps them improve digestion and, more importantly, they get to make the most of the nutrients available in their food.
Depending on where you stay, you might need a permit in order to own a hamster. So, before ordering a hamster, you should check the state laws. Chinese dwarf hamsters make good pets and your children surely will enjoy their company.

Why Kerry Washington sees the red carpet as just another role
See Gallery
Kerry Washington is Glamour's cover star for October 2013, and the Scandal actress discussed her career, love of fashion, and her decidedly secret love life with the magazine's editor-in-chief Cindi Leive. Aside from the fact that Kerry recently got married without anyone knowing (to 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, whom none of her fans even knew she was dating!) we can't get enough of how she approaches the red carpet: as another role.
"I was like, 'I'm missing a really important tool. If I am the CEO of the Kerry Washington Corporation, my marketing department is really lax.' So I sort of developed a new character: Red-Carpet Kerry," she told Glamour. And like any good actor, she researched the role. After all of her "library hours on fashion," she fell in love with it. Clearly she has aced the test -- because she was just named to Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed List!
When it comes to fashion on her hit show Scandal, she says it's a combination of her own ideas and those of the show's costume designer, Lyn Paolo. And the influence of the show is widely felt, as Leive said "I've heard that people have been walking into Prada and asking for the Olivia Pope purse," to which Kerry replied: "And Movado for the Olivia Pope watch."
The October issue of Glamour is available on newsstands September 10th.
Check out more photos and a full excerpt from the Kerry's Glamour interview here.

The project requires total investment of more than VND56 billion (US$2.4 million), comprising some VND53.3 billion in non-refundable official development assistance from the German government and VND3.1 billion from Vietnam's reciprocal capital. The Vietnamese Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will execute the project over four years, from 2018 to 2022. The project is aimed at ensuring the exploitation and utilization of underground water resources in an efficient and sustainable manner to counter the adverse effects of climate change and prevent water level decline, salinity intrusion and land subsidence in the coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta. As such, the project will enhance the management capacity of local water resources, build a database on underground water and utilize the collected data for the management of and formulation of policies on water resources. The project will also raise public awareness and improve coordination among professional agencies, local authorities and residents on the need to protect underground water resources. Groundwater is one of the main water resources for the water supply in Vietnam. Coastal groundwater resources are threatened by salinization and intruding seawater. The situation is already considered… [Read full story]

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHN) has owned up the commitment to raising public awareness of the C3 glomerulopathy ("C3G"). The biopharmaceutical company says that it will be launching a new patient support initiative called WeC3G, with an aim to bring together those living with C3G. This is an exceptional but chronic disease affecting the kidneys and according to the experts, it affects the alternative pathway of the immune system.
Records have it that close to 4,000 people in the United States living with C3G and apparently, there are no approved treatments. However, the launch by Achillion will contain supportive resources and educational materials for the patient and the caregiver. It will also provide an opportunity to sign up for ongoing news and updates.
Achillion is steadfastly committed to innovative research
The biopharma founded in February 2000 as one of the biggest startups have been growing from strength to strength since its inception. Having assembled the necessary scientific and technological resources, its primary role is to address the unmet medical needs of patients with C3G. The goal will be achieved through advancing the development innovative products and potentially disease-modifying therapies.
The move by Achillion is remarkable according to the company's Chief Executive Officer, Milind Deshpande. The officer comments, "Achillion is proud of its sponsorship of WeC3G, along with other recent efforts, such as supporting a global natural history study of C3G to track the course of this disease."
The success of biotechnology companies has made them increasingly valuable
As the world revolves around technology, biotech companies have not been spared either in staying up to the trends. Achillion is a product-focused pharmaceutical company playing significant roles in the discovery and commercial development of innovative therapeutic agents. It has leveraged its internal its capabilities in drug development platform. The company is also focusing on modulation of the complement system via oral small-molecules.
Apparently, not many are aware that the rare disease causes chronic deposition of C3 fragments, which can result in permanent renal damage. It is a devastating illness and affects men and women equally. It is so serious such that estimates show that within 10years, 30-50% of C3G patients will require dialysis or a transplant.

Wistful crumbly electronics with drifting ethereal voice. Possibly an incoming transmission from a flickering dimension. Like ambient audio debris slowly cycling to shore with every set and swell in the blistered sea. Some frequencies ignite causing sharp shards of sound to pierce the drone like environment. Everything is in a dream like flux, where reality has dissolved and the vortex connecting aural worlds has stabilized for these brief moments.
Hey Exit has begun to implode. Inhale pulls from previous mystic vibrancy, like a burning electronic furnace radiating for too long. The fire has dissipated, but a strange comfort still remains. Warm with slivers of cold emptiness finding their way in. The allurement of this EP titled Inhale, remnant energy tilted perfectly towards our ears. Thirty five minutes divided across seven tracks. The last track "Puppies" seems to break free from the smoldering chars of the songs preceding it. Maybe trying to stoke the Hey Exit fervor once again.
A really beautiful release. Copies are available from the bandcamp page. Not sure how many of these Brendan made, but did notice the two previous releases described on Lost in a Sea of Sound have sold out. Slow Names 4: The Bitter Scent of Light released in November of 2016 and Caudata released in February of the same year. So do not procrastinate if Hey Exit is on the list of tapes to get.

The amazing Abby Rosenbaum and Mabel Rose (2).
Abby had a wonderful pregnancy with Mabel. She planned for as natural a childbirth as possible, took classes and prepared but her labor was long and she finally reached a point where she just couldn't do it anymore. She ultimately delivered via cesarean and says that while she's had some second thoughts since it was definitely the best option for her in the moment.
Postpartum recovery was painful but went well. Abby chose to breastfeed and she and Mabel had a very positive experience. She says she felt tethered while she was nursing though having to be available every couple of hours, it wasn't until she weaned that she began to feel like herself again.
Abby says that most of the women she knows have "bounced back" postpartum but her body has seemingly forever changed. She is working to shift the focus for herself and set a positive example for her daughter. Motherhood and all that it encompasses has been a wonderful transition and she very much wanted to take a moment to document this time with Mabel.

Finally a proper Chicken Monday on the correct day! Lately we have been having quick cooked sides because it has been hot but Monday it was cool all day. Time to break out the root vegetables!
John manned the immersion circulator and then finished the chicken breasts under the broiler for a little color. He also made up the packet of gravy. Rather than haul out the pressure cooker, I microwaved the rutabagas for around 20 minutes after peeling and chopping them up into fairly small chunks. Really, the peeling, which I do with my chef's knife, is the most time consuming part of preparing the rutabagas. The broccoli was simply steamed. Both the broccoli and the rutabagas got a pat of butter.
Much like the meatloaf meal the other day, this is also comfort food to me.

In case you didn't know, Janelle Monáe is a fantastic source of bad-ass life inspiration. She's mega talented. She's super stylish (and has her own distinct, individual aesthetic). And she's all about empowering women, too. Can't top that.
But apparently, all that awesome stuff just isn't enough for some people. Like this random dude on the internet, who is getting VERY frustrated by Janelle's refusal to trade in her trademark suits for something *sexier*.
"Girl stop being so soulful and be sexy," he tweeted the singer, "tired of those dumbass suits..you fine but u too damn soulful man." Alright, then.
We assumed the tweet would fade into the sea of ridiculous, annoying comments on the internet. But, nope, not this time. Janelle decided to issue a superb, perfectly understated, truly DGAF response.
His response? "Yes mam. Sorry ms janelle."

If only they delivered in my area…BUT if YOU live in the San Fran region or (coming soon) DC, check 'em out!
Summer's just around the corner, and we're sure you've got some amazing trip to Bermuda or Jamaica or Mexico or Bakersfield planned. At least that's what advertisements would lead us to believe! But whether you're slipping off to some wonderful getaway or staycationing in the Bay, it's just about time to start thinking about that bikini or those swim trunks hidden in the depths of your closet. (On a side note, a great way to get some exercise is to dig through that closet to find your swimsuit! Hey look, that hat you were missing!)
Around EAT Club, we're gearing up for donning our swimwear too, although we'll probably just go to the picnic tables out back for a quick sunning, because who has a pool at their office? (Answer: this guy.) To start eating smart for summer, we're very very excited to announce our new line of lower-calorie…

In New York City, through New York Cares' Winter Wishes program, employee volunteers from nine different divisions answered over 1,400 letters from children, teens and families, many of whom would otherwise not receive gifts for the holidays. The letters came from multiple community-based organizations including homeless, educational and other social service agencies.
Meanwhile, other departments in New York participated in virtual gift drives, with employees purchasing over 550 toys and books online for area youth development agencies. In Boston and Santa Ana, employees participated in traditional toy drive collections held at their offices.
For the third year, Jacksonville employees organized the "Snowy Day" gift drive for one of the bank's partner elementary schools. The three-months-long effort yielded some 1,300 gifts for students, who received personal deliveries of items packed inside homemade gift bags.
Cary employees fulfilled wish lists for children living in foster care as part of their annual participation in the "Hope for the Holidays" drive benefitting Children's Home Society of North Carolina.
San Francisco employees participated in Raphael House's "Adopt a Family" initiative and supported six families this year.
Through these various efforts, employees helped bring the joy and warmth of the season to their neighbors.

7th Annual Alzheimer's Dance raises $4,700
Article courtesy of HeraldNet.com
Friday, March 7, 2014
An annual square dance to raise funds for Alzheimer's research brought in more than $4,700 for programs at the University of Washington and Rush University, said Joe Bahr, who started the dance seven years ago to honor his brother, Marty Bahr, who had early onset Alzheimer's. Marty Bahr died in 2008.
All proceeds from the dance, organized with support from the Sky Valley Whirlwinds Square Dance Club, went directly to the universities' Alzheimer's research programs.
About 20 squares of eight dancers — about 160 attendees in all — filled Edmonds Masonic Hall for the Feb. 23 event.
"It was absolutely incredible," Bahr said.
