When Nanette Bercu, 38, creative director at Paul Mitchell, and her husband, Dan, pile their sons Odin, 8, and Hunter, 6 (all pictured here), into the car for their weekly hike in the Santa Monica Mountains, they're sometimes met with groans. "But an hour into the hike, the kids are totally engrossed," she says. "By the time we're done, we're all a little more alive than when we started."
This most basic form of outdoor recreation is equal parts workout and therapy, and good for all ages: It boosts cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and clears the head. What the gym and its calibrated machinery can't promise -- inspiring views and unpredictable physical challenges -- hiking has in spades.
To be trail-ready, you need to improve your aerobic capacity so that you can get enough oxygen to your muscles, says Danny Dreyer, founder of ChiRunning and ChiWalking in Asheville, North Carolina. Whole-body fitness programs that combine physics with tai chi will serve you well.
Try this: Walk at a medium-quick pace for 30 minutes twice a week. To gauge your intensity, count your strides for 15 seconds and multiply by four. (You want to reach between 65 to 75 strides per minute.) To train for hills, increase the incline of your treadmill. Start at a 3 percent grade, Dreyer says, and increase by 1 percent each week until you get it to 10. This acclimates your legs to walking in shorter, uphill strides. Add the stair climber to your cardio mix at the gym, and take the stairs whenever possible.
Warm up first with a few minutes of walking, then do a few simple stretches to prime yourself.
Belt Stretch
Opens the chest, shoulders, and upper back.
Holding a belt with your hands wide apart, inhale and reach your arms over your head and behind. Repeat 8 to 10 times.
While working your quads and glutes, use these strategies to maintaining stability and avoid injury.
Set a Realistic Pace
"The biggest mistake hikers make is pushing themselves too hard, too fast," says expert hiker Karen Berger, author of "Backpacking and Hiking."
Lead with Your Upper Body
Lean forward toward the hill and keep your shoulders directly over your leading foot, Dreyer says. Straightening your rear leg is easier than trying to pull yourself uphill by your hamstrings.
Take Short Strides
Big steps strain the quads and hamstrings. "Never step past your hip," Dreyer says. "It will overwork your hamstrings and wear you out quickly."
Going downhill may seem easier, but it challenges the muscles in your legs, knees, and ankles. Take it slow and keep these tips in mind.
Think Vertical
Walk with your head, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles stacked on top of one another.
Head Straight Down
While zigzagging down a trail is a good idea for extremely steep terrain, it's best to point your feet directly downhill, Dreyer says. "Go easy on your legs by shortening your stride and picking up your feet quickly, as if you were walking on hot coals," he says. "This lowers the impact."
Soften the Knees
Don't lock your knees coming down; it puts a tremendous strain on them as well as on your lower back.
Dogs reap the rewards of hiking, too, says Linda Mullally, author of "Hiking with Dogs." Just be sure to observe proper canine etiquette on the trail: Check the park rules before the hike, keep a leash handy, and scoop your poop, as pet waste can contaminate other elements in the environment. Also, bring extra water and a travel bowl -- and never let Fido drink from standing water.

This clam shack style fried clams recipe tells you exactly how to make fried clams. Whole belly ones, natch, which are the best. And it's so ridiculously easy.
I've made no secret of my absolute addiction to fried clams—especially clam shack style fried clams with big, luscious, profane whole bellies. I remember going as a kid to Macray's, a local clam shack in Westport, MA., several Sundays during the summer. There my parents, grandparents, godparents, cousins, and I dove into pints of deep-fried oceanic goodness. My only regret as I tapped the last bits of crumbs from the greasy red-striped box into my mouth was that we couldn't make them at home; it's near impossible to shuck steamer clams. (Trust me, I've tried.) That little snag meant this treat would be relegated to the hot, steamy days of a New England summer.
Even after I wrote my paean to the almighty mollusk, I still was stymied: I couldn't find a source for shucked big-bellied clams. But recently I stumbled upon Digger's Seafood. It offers all kinds of fresh, never-frozen seafood, including my beloved shucked whole-belly clams. [Editor's Note: For a while, Digger's no longer sold clams to the public. But we're happy to hear they have clams for sale again. Lobsters.com, which one of our readers recommend, also sells clams.]
Skeptical, I ordered a one-pound packet that was delivered to my door within 24 hours. What makes Digger's clams so special is they're professionally shucked (the emergency-room savings alone is worth the steep price) and shipped to order. When I cracked opened the container, it smelled like a sweet, salty sea breeze. It took all I had not to eat the clams in all their raw, slippery glory.
But, of course, the proof is in the fryer. And these delivered. Mightily. With my near-forty-year search over, I am now able to have fried clams year round, miles from the nearest boardwalk but only a cast-iron pot away from my childhood.
When I made this recipe, adapted from the great Jasper White, I was tempted to doctor up the coating mix with all kinds of herbs and spices. (Yes, for a moment I thought of myself as the Colonel Sanders of Seafood.) "The secret to fried clams," says Chickie Aggelakis, owner of The Clam Box in Ipswich, Mass., "is the flavor of the clams." The coating and its crunch protect the tender belly meat. Mucking it up with spices—which is hard to resist—should be avoided at all costs. Originally published July 18, 2011. –David Leite
Clam Shack Style Fried Clams
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
Special Equipment: Deep-fry or candy or instant-read thermometer or an electric deep fryer, a Chinese wire-mesh skimmer or a pasta basket, a pair of tongs
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the New England style fry mix
- 1 cup corn flour* (not cornmeal)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- For the clams
- 1 1/2 pounds of shucked whole belly steamer clams
- About 6 cups peanut, canola, or other vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 1 cup buttermilk (either low-fat or full-fat)
- New England-Style Fry Mix (above)
- Make the New England style fry mix
- 1. Combine the flours, salt, and both peppers in a large mixing bowl and mix well. You'll have more than you need for this recipe, so whatever is left over you can store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for several weeks or more.
- Fry the clams
- 2. In many cases, you will be frying in batches to avoid the problems that can happen if you overcrowd your fryer. In anticipation of this, line a baking sheet with paper towels and preheat the oven to 250ºF (121°C).
- 3. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375°F in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat or in a deep fryer.
- 4. While the oil is heating, pour the buttermilk into a large bowl, and put the fry mix in another. Drop the clams into the buttermilk and stir gently. Using a Chinese wire-mesh skimmer or a slotted spoon, carefully lift up a small batch (in this case, about half of the clams you're frying), allowing the excess buttermilk to drip back into bowl, then drop the clams into the fry mix and gently toss it to coat evenly with the mix. Quickly dry off the skimmer.
- 5. When the oil is hot, lift the food out of the fry mix with the skimmer, gently shake off the excess, and drop it carefully into the oil. Try to spread the food out in the pot so there is less chance of the pieces sticking to each other. The first few moments are crucial: let the seafood cook for 15 to 20 seconds without moving the clams (or the fryer basket)—if you do, some of the breading could fall off, making the dish greasy. Then stir the clams so that they cook evenly, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes more. This also helps to loosen any pieces that might have stuck together. If anything sticks to the bottom of the pot, loosen it with tongs. Stay right there at the fryer, moving the seafood occasionally so it cooks evenly.
- 6. Transfer the first batch of clams from the hot oil to the paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain. You can keep the clams warm in the oven while you fry the second batch, but with clams or oysters, you should consider serving them as soon as they have drained. Because they are whole creatures with wet innards, they tend to lose their crunch faster than shrimp, scallops, and other seafood. Set the food on a plate or platter and send it to the table with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs–and fries aren't out of the question. [Ed. note: A side of salad, as in the picture, is hardly traditional, but it makes for a pretty plate, right?] A nice casual, and very appropriate, touch when serving fried foods is to serve it on deli paper or butcher's paper. We serve most of our fried foods on colorful deli paper printed with our logo—the paper isn't really intended to soak up excess oil, it's more to show off how greasy it isn't.
*What Is Corn Flour And Where Do I Find It?
- Corn flour is essentially very finely milled cornmeal made from the entire kernel of corn—the germ, the bran, and the endosperm. Corn meal—whether coarsely ground, medium grind, or finely ground—is not an acceptable substitute due to the textural difference. However, masa harina, which you can find in the Latin section of most supermarkets, is a perfectly fine swap. A caution to our friends the Brits and Aussies and Canadians. We understand that in your corners of the world, "corn flour," or rather "cornflour," is synonymous with "cornstarch," but that's not what we're talking about here. Cornstarch is ground from only the endosperm of the corn and makes a lousy coating for fried clams. Trust us.

Where have the last 6 months gone?
I was on here a few nights ago reading through posts when Amelia was Carter's age. It was helpful for a couple of reasons. First, I feel like I am, in fact, doing a better job the 2nd time around. Not that there's a scale, necessarily. I did the best I could with Millie but she had issues. Issues sleeping, issues nursing...you know, just the basics. Carter's rocking the sleeping and eating thing. I started Millie on solids at 5 months (!!!). I didn't even consider starting Carter until 6 months and, true to his nature, I can't shovel them in his sweet little mouth fast enough.
I'm ending the comparisons now because I don't want it to seem to my grown daughter who may be reading this in the future that she wasn't an awesome baby. She was. She is.
I have too much to catch up on. Here's the basic overview from the last several months with our boy. He's a chunk. He nurses beautifully and will eat anything put in front of him. There is nothing he doesn't love. I do remember around months 3 and 4 he didn't really think it would be helpful to us if we actually slept, but other than that he's been so great. Last night he slept from 6:45pm - 1:30am. I pulled him in bed with me, fed him, then returned him to his bed where he slept until 7:40am. He was swaddled until last Thursday, August 30th. I had put him down for his morning nap and about 10 minutes after falling asleep he rolled himself onto his belly while in the swaddle. I got rid of it then and there. The first few days were rough. He barely napped, but he slept like a dream at night. Now his naps are getting a bit longer which is fantastic.
He rolls. He Army crawls. He drools excessively. He has eczema that comes and goes and caused me to go dairy free until I realized it wasn't making much of a difference. He's extremely ticklish - even his hands are ticklish. It's adorable.
Millie is amazing with him. Really, she is amazing. She loves to hold him and talk to him. She's not mean, although at time she's a bit bossy but it's just her not really knowing what he understands and what he doesn't. She even lets him chew on her beloved Cars which is incredible to me. If he wakes up and I'm in the middle of something, I just have to ask her if she will go talk to him and she says "Of course!" and she stays in there and just chats with him until I can get in there to get him. I love my girl so much. She's 3, and she's good at it which means she definitely tests me. But for the most part she's kind and gentle and likes to make people happy.
Millie is taking ballet/tap and we also put her in swim lessons. We will see how the swim lessons go - they start on Tuesday. At this point she won't even get her face wet when I give her a shower. The other day I took Carter and sat on the front steps waiting for David to get home. Millie was running around in the front yard and being crazy as usual. All of a sudden she walks up, sits down next to me, throws her arm around my shoulders, and says "Mom, I know it's hard for you". I didn't know whether to laugh or kiss her so I did both.
She's still into Cars, cars, trucks, trains...anything with wheels. About a month or two ago we were sitting on the pew at church waiting for worship to begin and David's mom (who sits behind us), held up a Barbie to Millie, offering to let her play with it. Millie didn't flinch. She glanced at the doll then looked at her Grandma and said "Got any cars?"
I love my kids so much, and I feel SO blessed to be their mom.
Happy Friday!

With its boutique concept, Beachy Beach Destin Real Estate continues top service in vacation rentals and sales, as established by the parent office located in Panama City Beach.
Owner Karen Smith, assisted by her husband, Hugh, had so much success with the first office that they partnered with 30A realtors Hilary and Chad Farnum to open a second office in South Walton.
The third location opened in June.
The Destin office holds a partnership with Destin Escapes as an in-house vacation rental service, and Beachy Beach Destin keeps local professionals on staff, said Britt Matthews, the public relations manager and marketing director for Beachy Beach.
�Andrea Farrell is the top-selling realtor (by the numbers) in Destin, and she is in our office,� Matthews said. �She is the go-to person.�
Along with offering its specialized real estate services, Beachy Beach gives back to the community.
The Destin office�s grand opening benefited Food for Thought. Beachy Beach Destin serves as a drop-off location for donations to this Walton County-based charity that ensures children in need receive food for their weekends.
LOCATION: 200 Calusa Blvd., No. 100, Destin
HOURS: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays

The July opening of GSS Gear marks an expansion by what began as a small, in-home business.
�It was literally started up out of the back bedroom of a house,� said Bryan Mills, who handles the government contracts and acts as sales administrator for GSS Gear.
�GSS Gear has been in business for nine years,� he also said. �It�s a woman-owned small business.�
Global Supply Solutions LLC offers tactical and outdoor gear that is in demand by military personal, law enforcement officers and first responders such as firefighters and EMS professionals.
�The typical customer is anybody,� Mills said. �Largely it�s the military and outdoor enthusiasts.�
Operating its store location from Virginia Beach, Va., CEO Emily Whittaker and COO Rob Banta saw the need to expand. Mills was familiar with Northwest Florida from his days in the Navy, and Fort Walton Beach seemed a good fit.
This second location sits 4 miles from Eglin Air Force Base and about 5 miles from the back gate of Hurlburt Air Field. GSS Gear also offers e-commerce options.
LOCATION: 1988 Lewis Turner Blvd., near the Okaloosa Applied Technology Center
HOURS: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays

You may be faced with a situation in which you must figure out who has permissions to a file or directory and what those permissions are. This sounds simple enough. It really is not as simple as it may sound, here is an example. You view the contents of the /var/www (/var/www/html in CentOS) directory where your web site content is found and you see a directory that looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data fsmith 4096 2008-05-12 05:19 3qw
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache fsmith 4096 2008-05-12 05:19 3qw
The owner is www-data (apache in CentOS), that is not uncommon in the /var/www directory as www-data is the user that Ubuntu uses for web content. However the group can present a problem in that the question will arise, who is in the group? There is an easy way to determine that. Use cat to view the contents of the group file that lists users in a group. A good way to do this is to pipe the output of the cat command into a text filter search with grep like so:
cat /etc/group | grep fsmith
The | symbol (pipe) will take the output of one command and use it as input to the second command. With the output you will see that the group fsmith does not list any users after the final ":". There is only one user in this group, fsmith. If the output looked like this:
cat /etc/group | grep fsmith
fsmith:x:1001: tom, jane,jerry,joan,rudy
Now you know that the group contains five users who have permissions to this file(fsmith, jane, jerry, joan and rudy). The /etc/group file is a file that you can view with:
cat /etc/group
When you view the output you will see a number of groups that are relevant to permissions.
The root group is for the root user only, DO NOT add users to this group, it could very well create system failure and will certainly increase security issues.
The following groups in Ubuntu not CentOS are groups that are given by default to the first user created on the system for administrative purposes. In other words, this is the user that is able to use the sudo command and these represent those permissions. The first example of groups represent the permissions to use cdrom, floppy, audio, video and dialout. These are not permissions that you will typically use from a remote connection.
These groups are the administrative groups that allow users to run root commands using sudo. These are the groups that you could edit to add users who could be able to use sudo.
The adm group has historically been a group that was used to allow users in the group to read log files. Here is an example from /var/log where syslog is readable by the adm group.
-rw-r—– 1 syslog adm 2752 2008-08-14 07:21 syslog
If you run visudo and view the default file you will see these lines at the bottom which lists the rights of the admin group as capable of running any root commands.
# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

Effective Universe-Human
"Human life is born utterly helpless and must be fostered by others and by a favorable environment. As it grows older it usually becomes more responsible for its own and other's success. At this moment in history heretofore preponderantly innocent and ignorant humanity, operative only with subconscious success, is being required by universal evolution to participate more consciously in humanity's evolutionary transition—from a very local parasite on this planet Earth to an energy-conserving intellectually effective universe-human."
Buckminster Fuller

American Christians Face 'Hate Crime' for Preaching Gospel
Two American-born pastors handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham, England, were threatened with arrest and warned of being beaten for committing what an officer called a "hate crime."
Arthur Cunningham, 48, and Joseph Abraham, 65, were handing out the leaflets and talking with local youths when they were approached and questioned by a police community support officer, or PCSO.
When the officer discovered the two Birmingham pastors were born in the U.S., he began a heated criticism of President Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Cunningham explained that the gospel message was not linked to American foreign policy, but the officer reportedly became belligerent.
"He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message," Cunningham told the London Telegraph. "He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station."

It is, sadly, true. Muslim extremists are gaining more power in England every day, and the Church of England has become a shallow, pathetic organization which has compromised its beliefs time and again to appease the Muslims and other groups.

Ever read this book:
While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within (Paperback)
by Bruce Bawer
"Bruce Bawer, who has wrestled previously about American fundamentalism (Stealing Jesus) and gay rights (A Place at the Table), finds an equally contentious and compelling subject in the blind eye of European liberalism. Enchanted by the famed tolerance of Amsterdam, Bawer moved to Europe in 1998. But after settling in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, the author noticed a society that offered "millions in aid, but not a penny in salary." Reviewers find Bawer an eloquent writer with his passion balanced between his American sensibilities and his European residence. The sharpest criticism—that a lack of a bibliography turns While Europe Slept into an exercise in pamphleteering—doesn't undermine the ultimate effectiveness, or importance, of Bawer's thesis."

I don't think that muslims are trying to take over, however I do believe they get preferential treatment when we allow political correctness and overreaction to miniscule issues to put us in fear.
Bye bye England, nice knowing you.They're not people, they're hippies!! -Cartman
It is nothing against you to fall down flat, but to lie there - that's disgrace

Angels partner for ACT initiative in Anaheim
ANAHEIM -- The Angels have teamed up with the Anaheim Ducks and the Disneyland Resort as founding members in the Accelerate Change Together for Anaheim initiative, a new, collaborative program that helps to address gaps in services for the city's underserved youth.
Earlier this year, the Disneyland Resort funded the Anaheim Youth Services Assessment, which highlighted areas of need for residents of Anaheim -- California's 10th largest city -- ages 5 to 18. That prompted the Disneyland Resort to develop ACT Anaheim, where the three organizations have committed $3 million over three years in funding for a multi-year grant program.
The program will launch this month, with a combined initial funding of $1 million from the three organizations. The Orange County Community Foundation will serve as managing partner.
News of the Angels' involvement comes amid talks with the city of Anaheim on Angel Stadium renovations and a potential lease extension. In early September, the Angels and Anaheim City Council agreed to extend the Angels' stadium opt-out as late as 2019, rather than '16, giving both sides additional time to negotiate a complex deal that would include extending the team's lease in the city until 2057.
"Giving back in our hometown is important to the Angels," Angels chairman Dennis Kuhl said in a statement released on Wednesday. "By combining resources and targeting our efforts, we can extend our reach and impact where it counts. Our sincere hope is that other private and corporate citizens will join ACT Anaheim as we target the youth most in need in Anaheim and help them create a stronger future."
Information on how to apply for ACT grants can be found at oc-cf.org/ACTAnaheim.

RENO, Nev. - At the height of the boom here in the Truckee Meadows, just about every housing development came with an accompanying strip mall. When the economy turned, it seemed our strip malls emptied out. But in some areas, the tide may be turning.
In a few days, The Twisted Fork will open its doors in the Damonte Ranch Town Center to the first of hopefully many diners.
"A second location is exciting but terrifying all at the same time," Joe Clements, the general manager of The Twisted Fork said.
The Twisted Fork is a sister restaurant to Woody's Grille and Spirits in Industrial Sparks. But this new restaurant is a little different.
"We're calling it casual upscale," Clements said.
He says the food will be a California cuisine with Latin hints.
The Twisted Fork is not the only new restaurant to open in the shopping center. Back in November, Asian Paradise began serving Chinese cuisine to the residents in the area.
"The majority is Chinese, but we offer some Asian dishes too; Japanese, Korean," Tony Chang, one of the owners of the restaurant said.
Chang says he chose the shopping center for his restaurant because residents in the area have little options when it comes to dining out.
"The residents here can say 'Oh we have a nice Chinese restaurant here,'" he said. "We don't have to go away to the Midtown or north to have good Chinese or Asian food."
When the economy turned this shopping center lost many of its tenants, but now as Reno's housing market begins to mend, businesses are beginning to take risks.
Kevin Sigstad from Remax Premier Properties tells KOLO 8 News Now that the commercial real estate tends to follow about 6 months to a year behind the housing market.
"Business owners are more secure about their investments now," Sigstad said.
But the reason this shopping center is filling up may have more to do with the housing market that economic confidence.
With more people moving into the area, savvy business owners are recognizing a need for services, like restaurants.
Both Chang and Clements say that's the reason their restaurants are located where they are.
Another benefit for business owners to start thinking about opening up shop is the price to rent. Sigstad says commercial rental prices fell between 2008-2010 from average highs of about $1.65 per square foot to about $1.20 per square foot. Now it seems prices are leveling out, and in some cases increasing.
But choose a location wisely. One leasing agent for the Damonte Ranch Town Center, Mark Keyzars from NAI Alliance says due to the premier location and demand for spaces in the the shopping center, they are able to charge an average of $1.50 per square foot.
While both Keyzars and Sigstad are optimistic about the future for commercial real estate, don't expect many new retail building to pop up anytime soon. Keyzars says there are still many empty store fronts left over from the recession that need to be absorbed up.

OK, technicalities aside, acai is often touted as "The Superfood of Superfoods" due to its long list of health benefits.
But watch out – many acai products on the market have reduced nutritional value because they're adulterated with additives and fillers. Rest assured, our acai powder has none of these, nor is it an extract or a concentration; it's simply the beautiful deep purple pulp of the acai fruit – freeze-dried, certified organic and non-GMO.
So how can acai help fight aging, disease and weight gain?
Acai berries are jam-packed with antioxidants, a fact that has been confirmed time and time again by scientific research. One study observed "individual increases in plasma antioxidant capacity of up to 2.3- and 3-fold for acai juice and pulp, respectively" when comparing the antioxidant levels in the blood of healthy human volunteers taking acai versus control groups.1 Basically, this means that acai pulp tripled the antioxidant levels of the people taking acai.
Another study confirmed acai's anti-aging potential, observing that "acai has the potential to antagonize the detrimental effect of fat in the diet and alleviate oxidative stress in aging."2
"Amazing acai powder! I have so much energy. I am 61-years-old but I still work a like a young person – 9 to 11 hours. Thank you for acai powder!" – Hye
Sad but true: Most of you will likely answer yes to this question. The good news is that acai has shown some promising potential in reducing the risk factors for these two diseases; one study revealed that overweight individuals taking acai experienced "reductions in fasting glucose and insulin levels…there was also a reduction in total cholesterol levels."3 These results led researchers to conclude that "consumption of acai pulp reduced selected markers of metabolic disease risk [which is defined as] a cluster of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and/or type-2 diabetes."3
How can we discuss heart disease and diabetes without addressing the subject of weight? According to the National Institutes of Health, "The higher your BMI [body mass index], the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers.4
So, can acai help fight aging, disease, and weight gain? Science indicates YES! Now you decide…
"Great way to start your day! I love acai powder and use it every morning in my smoothie! I love the color and it makes my smoothie taste even better!!" – E.M.S.
"This stuff tastes real. It's totally delicious, and I can feel the pure vitality from it when I eat it. It's so yummy mixed in smoothies and looks gorgeous too!! Definitely a daily staple." – Em
One superfruit to fight aging, disease and weight gain!

Pablo Heras-Casado ‒ Biography
When Pablo Heras-Casado brings a score to life in performance, he does so through a unique combination of acquired skills, innate wisdom and open-hearted passion. The Spanish artist, hailed by the New York Times as ōthe thinking personÆs idea of a hotshot young conductorö, has achieved remarkable success in repertoire ranging from renaissance polyphony and 19th-century grand opera to works by Pierre Boulez, Peter E÷tv÷s and George Benjamin. Heras-CasadoÆs lifelong commitment to early music and historically informed performance was recognised in 2013 when he was named as an Archiv Ambassador by Deutsche GrammophonÆs Archiv label. The new relationship will be launched in May 2014 with the release of an album of works associated with the legendary castrato Farinelli, recorded in company with the countertenor Bejun Mehta and Concerto K÷ln. The conductorÆs work in all repertoires is informed by deep knowledge of performance practice traditions and of the vital spiritual connection between performers and their audiences.
Pablo Heras-Casado was born in Granada on 21 November 1977, the son of a policeman and a housewife. His remarkable artistic journey began seven years later when, encouraged by his parents, he joined his elementary school choir; soon after he began piano lessons and progressed to study music at the Granada Conservatory. In addition, he studied Art History and took a postgraduate acting course at the University of Granada, gained invaluable practical experience as a member of a street theatre company in his home city, and made his mark as a composer for contemporary dance.
Heras-Casado, inspired during childhood by the sounds of 16th-century sacred polyphony, discovered his passion for early music as a member of vocal groups of all sizes. In 1994 he founded Capella Exaudi, a chamber choir devoted to renaissance repertoire, and broadened its musical horizons with the addition of a group of period instrument players. The young musicianÆs research into neglected Andalusian baroque music led to the first performances in modern times of many fine compositions and fuelled his desire to search beneath the surface of compositions to discover their essential meaning. He received conducting lessons from Harry Christophers, founder of The Sixteen, in the mid-1990s. Heras-Casado developed his skills as a conductor of contemporary and avant-garde music at the University of Alcalß near Madrid and in Granada with his own ensemble, SONėORA, and also studied with Christopher Hogwood.
Heras-CasadoÆs broad education established secure foundations for the launch of a strikingly versatile professional career. In the early 2000s he made acclaimed debuts with leading Spanish orchestras, the Spanish National Radio Symphony and Orquesta Ciudad de Granada among them, and in 2002 founded the Orquesta Barroca de Granada. In 2004 he worked with Daniel BarenboimÆs West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and the following year was appointed principal conductor of the Orquesta de Girona; he also served as assistant conductor at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Opķra de Paris. Heras-Casado co-founded the period instrument orchestra Compa±Ēa Teatro del Principe in 2007 to explore and revive music written for the 18th-century Spanish royal court. Meanwhile, he received guidance from Pierre Boulez at the 2007 Lucerne Festival Academy and won the Lucerne Festival ConductorsÆ Competition with his performance of StockhausenÆs Gruppen.
Heras-CasadoÆs international breakthrough came in June 2008 when he conducted the recently formed Ensemble ACJW at New YorkÆs Carnegie Hall. He made his UK debut soon after with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and gave his first concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Orchestra National de Lyon. Orchestra managements worldwide took note of reports of the conductorÆs eloquent musicianship, intense focus and desire to develop powerful interpretations in partnership with his fellow performers. Heras-Casado made his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2011, enhancing an already long and prestigious list of guest engagements: Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Staatskapelle, the Dresden Staatskapelle, M³nchner Philharmoniker, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and San Francisco Symphony.
In December 2011 Heras-Casado was appointed Principal Conductor of the Orchestra of St LukeÆs and made his debut with them on Carnegie HallÆs main stage in 2013. 2013-14 Season highlights included debuts with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra and London Symphony Orchestra as well as performances of MozartÆs Die Zauberfl÷te with Freiburger Barockorchester at the Aix-en-Provence Festival. He also continued his regular collaboration with Ensemble Intercontemporain.
Opera has come to occupy an increasingly important place in Heras-CasadoÆs busy schedule. He served notice of his extraordinary empathy for the artform in 2008 when Compa±Ēa Teatro del Principe staged and made the world premiere recording of BoccheriniÆs La Clementina. His meteoric progress continued in 2010 with critically acclaimed debuts at English National Opera, Welsh National Opera and the Teatro Real Madrid, and has gathered momentum since with productions of DonizettiÆs LÆelisir dÆamore at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, VerdiÆs Rigoletto and Les vĻpres siciliennes respectively at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Frankfurt Opera, FallaÆs La vida breve, RavelÆs LÆheure espagnole and BizetÆs Carmen at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, John AdamsÆs Nixon in China for the Canadian Opera Company. In 2013 he conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the West Coast premiere of E÷tv÷sÆs Angels in America and made his debut at New YorkÆs Metropolitan Opera with Rigoletto, where he will also conduct Carmen in September 2014.
In December 2013 Musical America named Heras-Casado as its Conductor of the Year, noting the charismatic maestroÆs æinfectious vitalityÆ and wide-ranging repertoire choice. He also received Choc de Classica awards for his recordings of SchubertÆs Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 with Freiburger Barockorchester and MendelssohnÆs Symphony No.2 æLobgesangÆ with the Symphonieorchester und Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks, adding to a list of accolades that includes the Council of GranadaÆs Golden Medal of Merit, a Diapason dÆOr award for his 2011 DVD recording of WeillÆs Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and inclusion in CrainÆs New York Business influential ō40 under Fortyö Class of 2012 list.

The Fins swim team achieved a major accomplishment last weekend at the 2012 S.C. Short Course State Championship Swim Meet by swimming to an overall fifth-place finish.
Fins swimmers competed against 26 teams from across the state and more than 650 other swimmers. Swimmers earned points for the team when they placed in the top 10 in individual or relay events. The Fins earned 574 overall team points with the boys contributing 397 and the girls 177. Separately, the boys finished fifth in the state and the girls seventh.
"I am thrilled," Coach Eric Kemeny said. "Our goal at the start of the season was to shoot for top 10, to finish fifth overall is incredible considering the competition they faced. These kids dug deep, rose to the occasion and showed how much they wanted it through some spectacular swims."
The Fins only brought 26 kids to the meet and faced off against some teams that consisted of 156 kids and 74 kids. "To score so high just shows the high level of swimmers this area has to offer," Kemeny added.
Clayton Boyles, Andrew Faciszewski, Abby Hess, Greg Reed and Nicholas Suaza all won gold medals and were named state champions in different events.
Ten-year old Clayton Boyles had a phenomenal meet with four gold medals in the Male 10 & Under 50-yard butterfly, 100-yard butterfly, 100-yard Individual Medley and 200-yard Individual Medley; three silver in the 200-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle and two bronze in the 50-yard freestyle and 50-yard breaststroke.

Navy COOL Updates App
By Carla M. McCarthy, Center for Information Warfare Training Public Affairs
PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- Sailors continue to benefit from the Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-line (COOL) program with the latest Navy COOL app update uploaded to app stores, March 28.
With more than 24,000 downloads so far, the app matches the most recent information found on the Navy COOL website.
Navy COOL provides active duty and reserve Sailors, whether forward-deployed, underway or ashore, with a way to map their Navy education, training, experience and competencies to civilian credentials and occupations.
"We're working hard to make this program better and better every day," said Keith Boring, Navy COOL program manager. "One of the things we were able to do with this latest upgrade is to compress the app to make it even easier for Sailors to download and install on their mobile devices and see how they can take advantage of Navy COOL."
Every enlisted Sailor has at least one credential he or she can earn, considering 1,875 funded credentialing opportunities are available. More than 1,500 credentialing opportunities are mapped to officer designators.
Sailors will find updated links to advancement exam bibliographies in the app, and hospital corpsmen, in particular, will now find their bibliographies broken out by specialties.
The update also includes a requirement to install Department of Defense trusted certificates, which allows users to access external DoD and Navy websites from the app.
Sailors can learn more about the app and Navy COOL program through one of Navy COOL's visits to major fleet concentration areas to educate Sailors about the program.
The schedule for upcoming COOL brief opportunities is available at http://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/news/briefs.htm.
The Navy COOL app and all apps developed by the Navy's Sea Warrior Program Office (PMW 240) and Naval Education and Training Command's eSailor teams can be found on the Navy App Locker website at http://www.applocker.navy.mil or through the new Navy App Locker app, which provides Navy Sailors, civilians, and family members a central location to view mobile applications, review detailed information about Navy-developed apps, and have streamlined access to their device's appropriate app store.

Of all the people who find themselves drawn to extreme music – be that an extremity of tempo, distortion, atonality, lyrical profanity or whatever else – those who maintain this attraction as the years roll by and become decades are in the minority. Not a tiny minority, granted, but there's something pretty ingrained about the image of the twentysomething metalhead fluking himself a girlfriend, sinking into marriage and breeding, and eventually squirreling away all his Slayer shirts and throwing on a Neil Young album every few Sundays if he's lucky. Isn't there? From whiplash to whipped, you might say. Basically, most people find it hard to maintain a lifestyle based round a subculture and/or genre of music, because life gets in the way.
This isn't exactly what happened to Berlin-based DJ/producer Sascha Ring aka Apparat, going on his brief sleevenotes for his first DJ-Kicks mix album, but he seems to have suffered the related ailments of burnout and ennui. 'Back in the day,' he writes, 'my sets were hard and nasty. They were a fitting soundtrack to the raves we played in old Russian bunkers and desolated [sic] industrial spaces … following a move to Berlin I started to become more interested in Steve Reich, Cocteau Twins or Christian Fennesz rather than the latest Robert Hood record.' Of the 24 tracks featured on this CD, none of the aforementioned appear, but the influence of each is traceable – Hood included, in the exposed-frame techno pulse of Vincent Markowski's 'The Madness Of Moths'. Overall, though, Ring expresses little interest in unleashing bangers: as is the nature of the DJ-Kicks series, it appears to be designed with home listening in mind.
To this end, the scattering of techno-soaked dubstep, glassy IDM and glitchy austerity that comprises most of the tracks is a success. For the casual dabbler in these loosely defined forms, DJ-Kicks ought to have ample replay value. For confirmed fans of Apparat's productions, too – his myriad releases on the 'amazingly named' Shitkatapult label, which he runs with schaffel techno pack-leader T Raumschmiere, and his fêted collaborations with Ellen Allien and Modeseleketor – there's bounty from track one onwards. 'Circles', exclusive to this release (as are two others, 'Interlude' and the blissful 'Sayulita'), sees Ring shepherding bells-and-vocals psychedelic folk into a field of proto-trance looping, before 'Rushed', an early-Nineties keeper by Carl Craig as 69, drops its beat and scythes the corn.
That's fairly emblematic of the general blending going on throughout DJ-Kicks, in fact: consistent attempts to forge links between, say, Scorn (formed as a post-Napalm Death heavy dub project) and Born Ruffians (an indie band who appeared in Skins). This is done by employing remixes, by Autechre and Four Tet respectively, but let me have my casual amusement in the juxtaposition. (Also, the outsized pillar of MBV-ish noise that rises in the middle of Four Tet's remix is thrilling, and would probably soundtrack an old Russian bunker rather well.) The Vincent Markowski track mentioned previously follows 'Moth', last year's one-off collaboration between Four Tet and Burial; only Ring can say if this is chiefly because of their titles' commonality. Ramadanman's Basic Channel-fashioned, pingponging deep-diver 'Tempest' fades to almost nothing, clearing the lanes for 'Harrowdown Hill', Thom Yorke's excoriation of the David Kelly affair. This transition rankles more than the others: I don't find Yorke's voice disagreeable, just requiring of context, and after a dub-techno workout shorn of humanity (in the best way) it seems arid and grey.
It also hints at an issue germane to the modern mix album – what precisely Ring can do with a stack of other people's songs to make prospective buyers pluck it from an infinite world of sounds. 'Harrowdown Hill', while perhaps not a mix-album staple, is pretty well-worn at this point, as is 'Moth', while Joy Orbison's 'The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow' has the inverse problem of being overly familiar so close to its release date. The three new Apparat tracks, plus an unreleased effort by Telefon Tel Aviv, help his case, as does the fact that DJ-Kicks is fundamentally pleasing to the ear and the work of a man unwilling to let complacency strike in his thirties. On their own, though, good intentions never rocked a party, even a dinner party.

Flashback is on the iPhone!
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Games, $4.99,
Flashback is a game a remember fondly from my childhood, specifically played on the Sega Genesis console. In its time, the game was so fluid and fantastic and packed quite the challenge. It was also the largest (in terms of file size) cartridge sold on Genesis back then. Imagine my surprise when I found out the game was now available in the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch. Yes, if you've played Flashback, you know the goodness that is waiting for you—if you haven't, you need to, right now.

I've been using and living these amazing tools for more than seven years. I truly thrive on stirring the pot on what you've decided is possible ... or impossible! I love facilitating, inspiring and being a catalyst for change.
For over four years, I've had the honor of working with Access Consciousness as part of the Access Dazzle. Creating with consciousness has truly been a gift beyond words.
Because of everything I've become aware throughout this amazing adventure so far, I can no longer pretend to be pathetic. I can no longer deny the vastness of my being. The magic is undeniable. Miracles are an every day occurance. I have the gift of choice...in every moment. Living is FUN!
Access has literally given me the tools and the awareness to change EVERY area of my life...and every day is greater than the last.
What if a happy planet is possible? What if you are the key to creating it?
What if the purpose of life is to have fun? What if you're not as fucked up as you think you are?
Let's play!
One of my favorite questions is if you only had today to live...what would you choose?
If you have any questions about what's changed for me, what's possible for you or about Access Consciousness, please connect with me!
I've been a Certified Facilitator for 4 years. I offer private sessions, facilitate classes and travel the world playing with this weird and wacky stuff!
My Classes include:
Certified Facilitator: includes Access Core Classes; BARS, Foundation and Level 1
Body Process Facilitator: includes Energetic Facelift and 100+ other body processes
Specialty Classes include: Ask and You Shall Receive: Creating Abundance with Ease, Choosing to Live, Pregnancy and Birthing with Ease, Creating Greater Possibilities with Social Media
As someone who is very new to the processes of access consciousness, but very aware of the energy of my realities, I was completely blown away (in the most positive sense) by the gifts of Megan Hill. I have done several verbal processing sessions, as well as one hands on body process session, with Megan. Her ability to hon in on an issue, ask just the right question and move that energy ""never to return again"" is nothing short of phenomenal. I have worked multidimensionally with my own clients for the last 15 year and have personally had every type of energy work know to me, but none has compared to the amount of change available through sessions with Megan Hill. Beyond access consciousness, I believe that Megan was born to create real change in human consciousness. Access Consciousness is her tool and she uses it beautifully for all who are open to real change in their lives. Make your appointment. You won't be disappointed!
~Suzy Miller, Author & Creator of ""Awesomism""
""I recently completed a BARS class with Megan and I know I have gained extremely valuable life tools that will help accelerate the progression on my life path. Megan helped all of the students in our class open our minds to the endless possibilities that life has to offer. She clearly has a wealth of knowledge and she exudes passion about sharing her knowledge with others. She teaches in a way that speaks to each individual in the class, and includes hand on practice so that you can walk away feeling confident about using the techniques. I loved how Megan gave examples of how she has used Access tools in her personal life. Her examples show how quickly positive results can occur from using Access. During the class Megan felt drawn to work on my feet. It was interesting that her intuition brought her there because I have been on holistic pills for restless leg syndrome for years, and in the 2 weeks since the class I have had no trouble with my legs, and I have not taken any pills! The possibilities truly are endless…""
-Ashley (Chicago, IL)
Thank you so much for the Bars class with you a short time ago. I loved it. Everything about
the experience was wonderful. The hospitality offered to Diane and me sparkled. The experience
of running the Bars came so easily with your leading and instruction.... no pressure. Part of the 'Ease, Joy, and Glory..."" shining through your teaching atmosphere and attitude. Thank you for that. I certainly appreciate it. You are a wonderful being and teacher.
-Michael (Chicago, IL)
I wanted to tell you how excited I am by your class. It is awesome. I just broke through a weight barrier that I have been trying to get below for 6 months. I would get close then gain 2 lbs. Then I would get close and then gain. Over and over. But I just busted through it. How does it get any better than this??????
Pattie (Prairie Village, KS)
Over the last 30 years both Linda and I have experienced virtually every body therapy modality available on earth. We can both honestly tell you that our BARS Session helped facilitate a most dramatic, positive and lasting shift in our sense of well being, far exceeding any other modality that we have tried! We are both so thoroughly impressed with this therapy that we are both going to be trained and will be offering it to our clients, family and friends!
D & L (Kansas City, MO)
I can honestly tell you that our BARS class was everything I thought it would be plus a whole lot more!.....although I love giving and receiving BARS, the workbook, after many reads, is almost worth the price of the class!Thank you for hanging in there with us, for your patience and for your willingness to share your wisdom with us.....
Dave (Kansas City, MO)
What is Pregnancy & Birthing With Ease?
In 2011, I chose to embark on an a new adventure: having a baby. All I can say is WOW...what a ride. I used the Access tools and philosophies throughout the entire journey and I was literally downloaded with so much awareness around what ELSE is truly possible in the either/or universe of pregnancy and birthing....What if we could create an entire generation of babies that are birthed into this world without judgement? Are you aware of how much judgement exists within the birthing world?
What if there wasn't a right or wrong way to have a baby? What if you weren't terminally ""wrong"" as a parent for what you chose during pregnancy and labor? What if your child isn't emotionally scarred like people said they could be from a ""traumatic"" birth? Does any of that feel lighter to you? Contact me for facilitation/coaching/resources with regards to pregnancy and birthing or to join me for a new coaching and classes on ""Pregnancy and Birthing with Ease"" TM"

"When you make a demand, have a desire, from a question...all you have to do is choose. You don't have to know how it's going to show up. The universe's job is the how."- Dr. Dain Heer
The Access Bars are the very core and foundation of Access Consciousness. It can be the starting point of a great adventure and it can be something you add to your life that will assist you in creating a greater ease with everything. The Bars are 32 bars of energy that run through and around your head that connect to different aspects of your life. Touch one Bar and you begin to clear away the energy locked up in that area or aspect of your life just by touching it.

Klassen skaper oppmerksomhet rundt fundamentet av bevissthet som du ikke har brukt i livet ditt enda!


text: I bought a 50' string of LED rope lights and will install them in the party top binimi soon. They come with a 110V plug for an outlet, but I'd like to simply wire them into a light switch instead. I was going to just cut the plug off the end of the given 10' cord and wire it straight into a new light switch. Can this be done?

Charlize Theron & Kristen Stewart: 'Snow White' in Berlin!
Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron attend a photo call for Snow White and the Huntsman with director Rupert Sanders and cast mate Sam Claflin on Wednesday (May 16) at the Ritz-Carlton in Berlin, Germany.
"Some people intimidate you," Kristen told MTV News. "Some people's energy is so big you feel like you don't fit in the room, but with [Charlize], I really appreciate how different we are. I love the effect she has on people,"
"I find it hilarious. I love watching it happen. I do not have that. Maybe I have something else, but it's definitely not as visceral," she added. "Also, she's really hilarious."
FYI: Charlize paired the rag & bone Iris top with an Alexander Wang skirt and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. Kristen wore a 10 Crosby Derek Lam dress with a McQ belt, and Christian Louboutin heels.
Also pictured inside: Kristen and co-star Chris Hemsworth arriving at BBC's Radio 1 studio the day before in London, England.

- Unable to copy and paste between windows
- Things aren't working properly. What can I try first?
- How do I create a path in the same shape as a "T"?
- How do I open or save as filetype … ?
- How do get Inkscape to work on Mac OS X?
- Unable to change font?
- How to create a transparent area? (Clipping)
1. Unable to copy and paste between windows
In Inkscape version 0.46 and prior, you can only copy and paste content between Inkscape windows if all windows were started from the same instance. When you have Inkscape open already, if you select file > new it will create another window which shares the same instance as the original window--you will be able to copy content between these two windows. If you start Inkscape twice from a shortcut (for example) each window will be a separate instance and you will not be able to copy content between them.
This problem will be corrected in 0.47.
2. Things aren't working properly. What can I try first?
If Inkscape is getting errors or not functioning as expected, one of the first things you can try is to delete your Inkscape preferences file:
- Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Inkscape\preferences.xml
- Windows Vista - C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Inkscape\preferences.xml
3. How do I create a path in the same shape as a "T"?
A vector path has the same constraints as a piece of string in the real world. It can have 2 ends, or no ends (in which case it'll be a loop). If you want to create a "T" then do it the same way as you would with string, either use two paths, or one path to outline the shape of a "T".
