How do I order online?
All the products you see on the Party Britain website are available to buy online. Just click on the product you wish to purchase, select the size if required and click the 'Add to Basket' button. You will then be able to go and continue shopping for additional items if you wish or you can click 'Proceed to Checkout' when you are ready to enter in your delivery and payment details.
What costume size should I order?
Each product detail page has approximate size information for that costume but it's important to remember that unlike every day clothing fancy dress costumes are designed and made to fit a wide variety of sizes.

Grandmother and Granddaughter
My granddaughter is 6 years old and started learning to play the violin at the beginning of this year. For me, this was an incentive to pick up the violin again myself after having had a 50-year break! Pro-Am Strings helped me re-visit the basics and I am now thoroughly enjoying playing together with my granddaughter. I help her quite a lot. We both enjoy playing together. I am so pleased and it was not as hard as I thought it would be. Thank you. Dicky

Ashanti Region in Ghana has been a centre of major gold-mining activity since the late 19th century. One of the main mining towns is Obuasi.
The principal gold-bearing ore is arsenopyrite (FeAsS) and the mining activity is known to have given rise to substantial airborne arsenic pollution from the ore-roasting chimney in the town as well as riverborne arsenic pollution derived from nearby tailings dams.
A project funded by the UK government's Department for International Development (DFID) was undertaken between 1992 and 1995(DFID Project R5552) in collaboration between BGS and the Water Resources Research Institite, (WRRI), Accra, Ghana.
The DFID project involved sampling of streams, shallow dug wells and tubewells used for drinking water in a 40 by 40 km area around Obuasi town. Samples of deep groundwaters (70 – 100 m depth) from mine exploration boreholes as well as mining effluent were also collected.
Arsenic concentrations in water from streams, shallow wells and boreholes were found to range between <2 and 175 μg/L. The main sources are mine pollution and natural oxidation of sulphide minerals, predominantly arsenopyrite.
Streamwaters have apparently been most affected by the mining activity and contain some of the highest arsenic concentrations observed. They are also of poor bacteriological quality. Some of the streams have relatively high As(III) concentrations(As(III)/AsT>0.5), probably as a result of methylation and reduction reactions mediated by bacteria and algae.
Concentrations of arsenic in groundwaters reach up to 64 μg/L, being highest in deeper (40 – 70 m depth) and more reducing (Eh 220 – 250 mV) waters. The arsenic is thought to build up as a result of the longer residence times undergone by groundwaters and the increasingly reducing conditions in the deeper parts of the aquifer.
The proportion of arsenic (As) present as As(III) is also higher in the deeper groundwaters. Deep mine exploration boreholes (70 – 100 m) have relatively low arsenic concentrations of 5 – 17 μg/L, possibly as a result of arsenic adsorption onto precipitating hydrous ferric oxides or to localised low concentrations of arsenic-rich sulphide minerals.

When we were in Ohio this past weekend, I kept seeing huge billboards for 'Haunted Hoochie'. I assumed it was where college girls shopped for their sexy costumes, but evidently it's actually a major haunted house theme show. Maybe it was the "hoochie" in the name that threw me off. Either way, it got me thinking about Halloween of course, and halloween decorations.
Is it possible to have a classy Halloween? I absolutely think so! It's easy to go over-the-top, but you can still have fun while keeping things simple, and not frightening. I've rounded up my ten favorite Halloween ideas that are classy, unique and in some cases even elegant.
10 Classy Halloween Decorations
- Think orange is the only color that says Halloween? Think again! These Black and White pumpkins by CountryLiving.com are super classy and festive.
- Don't want to go overboard with the decorations? A couple unique accent pieces like this Halloween pillow by sasinteriors.net is funky-festive!
- This Halloween mantel from Organize Your Stuff Now uses candlestick holders for mini pumpkins, and other elegant touches to create a perfect Halloween look.
- Why not hook up your dining room for Halloween too! I love this Autumn Wreath Pumpkin Chandelier from Martha Stewart.
- Also for the dining room, a spooky burlap table runner like this one from HGTV takes your dining room to the next level!
- This Halloween garland by Sweet Something Designs is something you can make (if you're crafty) or be inspired by. I think it's fabulous!
- These Halloween luminaries by Crafts by Amanda are super cool and a project you can tackle with the kids! I love the way luminaries create an eerie look, perfect for October 31st.
- For an even easier project with the kids, these Scary Message Lanterns from Martha Stewart use paper bags and stencils.
- I love printables because you can use them just about anywhere if you're a little creative. Here are a bunch of Free Halloween Printables from Tip Junkie for you to go wild with!
- If you need any more sugar around Halloween, this Pumpkin bundt cake from Lolly Jane looks amazing!

text: Late on January 6, 2012, French skipper Loick Peyron broke the record for around-the-world sailing, winning the Jules Verne Trophy. The Banque Populaire V crew of 14 sailors arrived in 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes, and 53 seconds – almost three days faster than the previous record. Jules Verne, author of Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (luh tour due mond ohn catruh vahn joor) (Around the World in 80 Days) would have been amazed at the speed – an average of about 55 miles per hour. Peyron's three-hulled vessel would have astonished Verne just as much as the speed; it's as tall and as wide as the Arc de Triomphe. After the obligatory champagne shower, the crew was looking forward to some well-deserved rest. They averaged only two hours of sleep a day for the past six weeks. Now that's a record I wouldn't want to tackle!

It is safe to say that no one is really looking forward to the morning of November 9th. As such, it seems only fitting to explore all the angry political music to get into to cushion the blow of the fact that no matter what the result of the US election is, we have to wonder how it got this close.
In the past, political music often centred on concepts. Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan sang vague songs about the American Dream and a shared vision; The Sex Pistols and Ramones wrote snarly anti-establishment anthems; even modern political artists, such as Anti-Flag and Rise Against, tended to target ideals rather than nitty gritty policies and personalities. Just two years ago, Against Me! were criticised for singling in on an issue too closely by dedicating a whole album to LGBT rights. A 40-song compilation on the flaws of one man would have been panned. But this year has not been a normal year.
Of most note is the '30 Days 30 Songs' project. This is a 40-song project (yes, it irritates me too) with songs by some fairly noteworthy artists, with Death Cab for Cutie, Moby and Franz Ferdinand amongst the contributors. For the politically minded, this is a bumper compilation against Trump-style politics, Franz Ferdinand's 'Demagogue' being a none-too-subtle swing at Trump's populist persona. Bhi Bhiman's 'With Love From Russia' is an attack on Trump's Russian business ties that covers probably the most specific political issue a big name musician has tackled for years without falling flat on their face. For the more musically inclined, this is a solid collection of music, DCFC's effort 'Million Dollar Loan' probably being the strongest song they have released for a good while.
A number of other artists have been pumping out political numbers recently. Just this week Emperor X broke a four-year-long break on releasing music to launch his new album with lead single 'Wasted on the Senate Floor'. The song has been doing the rounds live for the last couple of years, but now the lyrics have been heavily modified to focus on Trump. Green Day's new album, Revolution Radio, attacks the same man and the aggression in America at the moment. Lead single 'Bang Bang' is possibly the bravest song the band have ever released, entering the mind of school shooters. For all the album's faults, its bravery on politics is greater than any of their previous efforts, even the righteous fury of 'American Idiot'.
When Woody Guthrie sang 'This Land Is Your Land' he spoke of a common vision. It is a great song, and a message we can all get behind. Its punk descendants still had messages vaguely shared by all, just delivered with disgust and anger to make it suitably unpalatable. This year seems to be the year political music changed. It is no longer about collective visions of warm community. 2016 has spawned a generation of direct uppercuts to certain issues, delivered with a scathing anger. And it is all well worth a listen.

—by Paul Levy Chicago, IL
Throughout my teenage years and into my late 30's, the undercurrent mood to my surface life was depression. It colored all my thoughts, speech and doings. I suspect that I was clinically depressed although I never visited a professional and so was never diagnosed or treated. I was also beleaguered by severe anger to the extent that it may actually have been a partial cause for the migraine headaches I suffered. On many days it was difficult even to get out of bed in the morning, although I always did. There was also an overwhelming and pervading confusion around "how to live." In short, my inner life was one of anguish. My thoughts were sharp and wounding. There was the sense of being at the bottom of a deep, pitch-black abyss. It felt like the epitome of hopelessness. All this was my life on the inside, although on the outside, I was quite focused on completing my education and achieving my goals. At the same time, I had an innate sense that there must be a deeper significance to life, something my spirit continued to search for.
In my late 30's, I began meditating daily with Jagna (a teacher & student of Stuart's), and attended intensives with Stuart. I quickly realized this practice was exceptional, as it had a profound effect on my inner life. I continued to practice devotedly. After about 7 years Stuart made me a teacher.
For years, the only time I was completely free from mental pain was when actually meditating in class. Gradually, over nearly 20 years of frequent meditation practice, the depression and inner pain dissipated and at this point is resolved. Nowadays, I am happy and enthusiastic. I rise in the morning eagerly looking forward to the day. Life is still difficult and always will be, that is the nature of life, but my mind is balanced, clear and able to process all that comes my way.
This technique of meditation, developed by Rudi and taught by Stuart has given me the tools with which to process life experience, whether good, bad, or neutral. And through it I have learned how to take Life on Its terms and be ok with that.

But, every single day, after our enjoyable morning actions began to show into imminent meltdowns, and I settled the youngsters into their naps, passed out with grime smeared on their faces, across their garments, and underneath their nails (sshh don't inform my daughter), I would check my VogueRunway app (better than any entrance row seat, minus the shoe pain), and save my modest favorites, creating my personal trend predictions for Spring/Summer time 2017. Historians, including James Laver and Fernand Braudel , date the start of Western fashion in clothes to the center of the 14th century , 9 10 though it should be famous that they have an inclination to rely closely on up to date imagery eleven and illuminated manuscripts weren't frequent before the fourteenth century.
Many women dressed in ways to please themselves although it does not imply that that they had little interest in high fashion. Fashion is a reflection of present or historic events due to this fact it associates with right this moment and previous 's politics.
Another of my plus size blogs is the Type Blazer , where they make fashion their number one precedence. TOPMAN is main the revolution in men's fashion on the British High Avenue with their in-house designed fashions and kinds. Right here you will get a solid thought of the a number of profession paths of a fashion merchandiser, the role she or he performs and the way crucial that function is within the fashion trade. Road fashion is here to remain because it wasn't a fashion that was pushed on the youth via good advertising schemes. Her wide skirts, a tiny waistline worm with a tight high have been the peak of '50's fashion.
Ben, I'm delighted to have assist from Rebecca and seamstress1, when you learn the primary paragraph again, I agree that the classical definition of petite is, primarily, tiny, however in the fashion business the time period now refers to anybody who is brief.
Okay so this look also stirred a lot of raised eyeballs ,one coz of the extraordinary knee accent which I feel is such a bold arrival from the same old fashion safety internet and may be literally counted on to snare lots of attention and second this outfit and a tiny over the little prime dramatic eyemakeup- Errr… those hashtags which you see, sure that , speak a special fashion sensory language in order that I don't converse at all.

ONLINE READERS COMMENT: Bring back the ferry service
Dear Editor,
I recently saw the Port Authority of Jamaica share a photograph of an old ferry boat with the caption "who would like to see this service return?"
This makes me wonder how has the Government of Jamaica made no mention of a reintroduction of this necessary service.
The Government of Jamaica, and specifically Mike Henry and Robert Montague, seem to be more obsessed with the idea of bringing back rail service to the entire island. Something which I agree is a necessary service and I would love to see it happen. However, we must creep before we can walk.
Ferry service is something which will take far less investment than reintroduction of the rail service. I propose the following routes:
- Portmore to downtown Kingston
- Portmore to Norman Manley International Airport
- Downtown Kingston to Norman Manley International Airport
- Downtown Kingston to Port Royal
Imagine if we had park-and-ride service where ferry users paid to leave their vehicles in the secured ferry terminal parking lot in Portmore, and went to work in downtown Kingston stress free. This would not only save commuters gas and time, but it would help in the revitalisation of downtown Kingston. This is not just a necessary service for commuters; this also doubles as an attraction for tourists. It will create jobs, and with the proposed development of Port Royal as a cruise ship destination, this will synch perfectly.
I urge our bigger heads to consider this.

text: This year, I signed up for Run with Scissors on a whim. My fall race schedule had been filling up, so I decided to just have a fun day and run whatever pace felt good. Leigh and I drove up from Columbus early Sunday morning. After Roy's race instructions (enjoy yourself and DO NOT LITTER), we lined up in the brisk foggy weather for the start. I took the first section slow so as not to risk a fall in the dark and ended up running with David Peterman most of the way to Pine Hollow. There was only a bit of cold mud in the meadows and we joked that we might be found later in the race icing our sore ankles and feet in these spots. We both breezed through the aid station at Pine Hollow and made our way toward Quick Road. Mike Nicholson, who was out in front, had taken a wrong turn at Quick Road and we did the same. The three of us ran up and down the road for a bit until we all realized (seeing some headlamps through the woods) that we were just supposed to go straight across to pick up the trail. The trails were getting sloppy through this next section so I decided not to push it too hard at this point, knowing that we would hit this mud three more times and it would only get worse as more runners came through. I decided to get some solid food at Covered Bridge as my stomach had been queasy all morning and I thought that might help settle things. I looked forward to a good mix of walking and running through the next section and got some bonus stream crossings thrown in as well. The section back from Covered Bridge back to the Pine Hollow aid station was filled with mixed emotions. I enjoyed seeing more faces on the trail and eventually ran into the lead marathoners as I neared the aid station. I mumbled a quick hello to Vince Rucci who was leading the men and Beth Woodward who was out in front of the women. As I neared Pine Hollow, I had all but made up in my mind that I was going to call it a day after one loop. I was tired, my legs had not recovered well from a previous race and my stomach was just not settling. I asked my wife if she would meet me at the turnaround (not telling her that I was thinking of dropping). I grabbed some grilled cheese sandwiches hoping they would at least get me through the next couple of miles. I saw Roy coming up one of the sound of music hills and he mentioned to me that I only had about a mile and a half back to the turnaround. This was good news! As I got close to the shelter, I saw the first and second place runners heading out for their second loop. I still was not feeling very good at the turnaround, but I told myself that when things are bad, there is always the chance that they can get better. I was hurried out of the aid station and back onto the second loop (I guess I would not be stopping here after all). Eventually, I caught up with Scooby (in second at this point) who was suffering from some foot pain and trying to walk it off. I walked with him for a few minutes until we eventually parted ways. As I made my way back to Pine Hollow, the endorphins must have started firing as I miraculously began to enjoy running again. The weather was perfect, the fall colors were vibrant and it was a great day to spend some time in the woods. I took another S!Cap thinking it was about time for some more electrolytes and picked up the pace. My feet were still numb, but the sun was warming everything else up. Reaching Pine Hollow, I heard that the leader (Mike Nicholson) was just a minute or two ahead, so I made it my goal to catch him on this next section. A couple of miles in, I suddenly felt queasy again and stopped for a quick upchuck – too much salt - yuck! I felt better immediately, though, and kept moving. Eventually, I caught up to Mike and asked how he was feeling. His response was, not great, but hey, we were 35 miles in, so that's to be expected. From that point, I ran up the hills as hard as I could on the way to Covered Bridge, but eventually lost steam as I had burned through all the calories I put in earlier. I saw Mike again as I was heading out from Covered Bridge which was a good reminder to keep moving. Perkins Loop (the section after Covered Bridge) was a nice mix of running and walking the hills. Reaching Covered Bridge again, I stocked back up on calories as I was really dreading slogging through the mud this one final time. I knew it was going to be a long haul back to Pine Hollow, so I prepared mentally for what was to come. As I splashed through the mud and muck on the trail, a healthy fear of being passed at this point in race kept nagging in my head, driving me to keep running even though I felt like just walking it in. Nearing Pine Hollow, I decided not to stop for a refill of anything and just hammer out the last couple of miles to the finish. Well, two miles was a lot longer than I had pictured in my head, so I fought to keep moving as I knew each step brought me closer to the end. As the finish line came in to sight, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy knowing that I had run my best for the day and that there was a chair with my name on it to rest these tired mud-ladened legs.

20 Nov Top Tips for Maintenance and Servicing of Rental Cars
Many drivers neglect the maintenance of leased vehicles, as they believe it is not their responsibility since they don't own the vehicle. This is a common mistake that will lead to unexpected costs at the end of the leasing contract. Be it private car rental or commercial vehicle leasing, we strongly advise you to check with the company on the full term of the contract. Most vehicle rental Singapore companies bears the full cost of maintenance and servicing. It doesn't mean that you don't have any responsibility outside of driving the vehicle though. Consequently, you should do the following:
- Ensure timeliness
To prolong the lifespan of the car and to keep it running at a tip-top condition, drivers must not delay the scheduled maintenance and servicing for the vehicle. Your vehicle might look the same when you skip these maintenance but over a period of time, it will cause excessive wear and tear. There is nothing worse than to be presented with an additional bill for repair cost at the end of your leasing agreement. What could be worst is: you might put you, your passengers and other motorists at risks with a poorly maintained vehicle.
- Avoid negligence "ownership"
We all have been in that situation before — you are having a busy schedule and you don't feel your car is right. Be it the weird noise coming from one of your wheels or the unnecessary vibrations when driving, it is absolutely essential to have these issue ironed out. More often than not, problems will appear minor before developing into bigger issues. Therefore, treat your car the same way you would treat your loved ones by being attentive to its needs. Usually, Car leasing in Singapore will entitle you to a complimentary vehicle replacement during servicing and maintenance to minimize your inconvenience during the downtime. Ultimately, the best advice here is to take it to the doctor when it starts showing syndromes of "illness".
Following the rules above will definitely put you in good stead. Remember, cost and inconvenience are minor issues but safety should always be your major concern!

Student Testimonials
Tell me a little about your background?
I worked as a project manager and outside sales for a flooring contractor. I have 10 years experience in the construction industry.
Why were you interested in Medical Sales? What drew you to this industry?
I started college and planned on a career in nursing. I wanted to help people and that was the underlying theme. What led me to sales is I didn't have the time to pursue a degree in nursing or medicine. This is a great opportunity to be part of the surgical team and with the baby boomer generation, there is an increased need for orthopedic sales. My research on the school made this decision easier.
How did you learn about Medical Sales College?
A year ago last September, I took a look at getting a job in medical sales. All the jobs I was looking at kept telling me I needed specific training. I did more research and about six months ago became really serious about this career. That's when I decided to attend MSC. The reputation and the placement rate of the school was very, very good.
Did you have any fears about attending the School? What were they?
No major fears.
What ultimately made you decide to attend the College?
This is the career I wanted. MSC was the best way to make it happen.
Describe your experience once you began training with Medical Sales College.
At the beginning, the six-week online was just getting back into "school" mode. There was an adjustment period, but once that was done and I got to Denver, the program was fantastic. The training exceeded my expectations by a long shot. My spine trainer was phenomenal. I can't express enough how much my trainer brought to the table and how much she cared for us individually. She took the time needed to make sure we were prepared.
What from your training did you specifically use during the interview process that ultimately helped you land your position?
Putting together the business plan/portfolio was very helpful. Having that as a tool and a resource to discuss with the hiring manager was extremely beneficial.
What was the most valuable thing you learned at Medical Sales College/What piece of training do you use the most in your day-to-day activities?
The number one thing I learned is that surgeons are analytical and cerebral. You must engage them on their level, you must know the case studies, etc. that appeal to their way of thinking. The selling method learned at MSC is programmed around appealing to the surgeon's intellect and their way of thinking, and that made a huge difference to be able to walk the walk and talk the talk.
Why should someone attend the Medical Sales College if they want this career?
At the end of the day, you're looking at value, MSC has tremendous value. If you are willing to work hard and make the commitment, MSC is worth it. It takes a lot of effort and you need to apply yourself. What I learned at MSC is invaluable as I begin my orthopedic sales career.

We're back and settling in after our vacation last week! We had a lot of fun exploring Sonoma county, Santa Rosa, and Russian River. Most of all it was great to spend down time with family. I think our favorite part was floating in the pool for hours, despite all of the more exciting things we saw and did! Yesterday we did a bit of exploring in Saratoga, where we discovered an old Villa (now a park/event center) with gorgeous plants and landscaping (and a super rad colony of bird houses!).
Unfortunately, there are mean people in this world and my purse and all of our camera gear was stolen while we played at the river on Friday (wah-waah). I'm working on getting a replacement, but you'll understand if the posting is a bit light this week (I've already spent the whole morning on the phone with various banks and the insurance company)!
I hope you had a fabulous vacation week and a wonderful 4th!

Beauty on a Budget: Wet n' Wild Lash Intense Mascara Review
Ha who would think that mascara that costs $3.79 USD would actually work? Count the Muse amused, delighted, and surprised at how well her testing with Wet n' Wild Lash Intense Mascara went!
Read ahead to find out the deets!
I ran across Wet n' Wild Lash Intense Mascara recently while I was at Walgreens and I must say it actually works quite well. Last Intense makes the standard round of promises such as fuller, thicker lashes but at $3.79 USD my dubious nature set in. Seriously, mascara that's under $4 USD…..doesn't the idea of the price tag alone scare the beegees out of you?
Turns out you can have thicker, longer, and fatter lashes for under $4 USD. Ha, who would guessed?
Wet n' Wild Lash Intense Mascara sports the plastic applicator that's taken the drugstore world by storm lately. Everywhere you look plastic applicators are popping up! What do you think of plastic applicators? I find in some cases that they work rather well but in others not so great. In this case the applicator is the key to creating beautifully long, thick lashes and works quite well. The applicator has no curve and is straight in style with longer bristles on one side and shorter on the other. The best way to apply the mascara is to use the longer bristles to brush a few coats of mascara on and use the shorter end to work product through your lashes while curling them upwards. It does a take a little bit of work to get the knack of using it without creating a mess but a few tries later and I had quite nice results.
Results are pretty amazing! My lashes were considerably thicker, longer, and full of volume. Likey! It wears well through the day without smudging, flaking, or smearing. The cute portable size and purple packaging appeals although it is a tiny bit cheap looking but hey the product works, that counts for something!
What's not to like? If you're on a budget and looking for a cheap mascara that gives longer, fuller lashes this is well worth a try! I didn't LOVE it but I definitely liked it!
Anyone try out Wet n' Wild Lash Intense Mascara?
What did you think?
What are your fav budget mascara scores?

With AT&T's purchase of Cricket Wireless, many have wondered how the nation's top carrier would take advantage. Analysts are now chiming in, detailing how they feel AT&T will leverage Cricket. It could spell trouble for their rivals, but may not be the best option when it's all said and done.
AT&T has already rolled Aio into Cricket, so we knew they were going to have a singular focus moving forward. Analysts also think that AT&T will keep the Cricket brand long-term rather than fold it into their own brand or create a new one. AT&T has been complimentary of Cricket in the past, noting the only reason people didn't choose them in a survey was coverage.
To thwart that, AT&T will start offering Cricket prepaid plans in their own stores, analysts say. They also think AT&T will offer up Cricket plans with limited functionality compared to their own, with things like data being severely limited in scope or at throttled speeds. Those analysts also think AT&T will use traded-in devices from their Next program for Cricket customers as some sort of "certified pre-owned" program — an interesting way to make an extra buck on a device you've already made a buck on.
As for the difference in network technology, AT&T has already vowed to switch the CDMA Cricket customers to their GSM network within 18 months, and offer a sub-$40 plan for 18 months after the transaction closed as well. Pricing doesn't always bring value, though — a $40/month plan on AT&T may not bring the same value as it would with T-Mobile. The deciding factor will be coverage, where both AT&T and T-Mobile are making different strides.

Although, there are customers that do go with bedroom refurbishing every couple of years but those who can not afford can still go with buying bedding sets that can draw out some excellent changes in the bedroom. Bedding sets are not too pricey and for that reason even middle training people can afford it and utilize it when they want to refurbish their home. There are lots of sites that do offer bedding sets at affordable rates and for that reason buyers can look for it online.

Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through the 2014 season in an announcement that will be officially made Monday by Major League Baseball, according to reports.
The Associated Press reported that a person who is familiar with deliberations said that the New York Yankees third baseman can play Monday against the Chicago White Sox while he appeals the penalty.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because no announcement has yet to be released.
"He'll either be suspended for 200 games or forever," a source told The Daily News. "They want to get deals with everybody else first."
Rodriguez, 38, could be suspended for at least 214 games under terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, which will cost him about $34 million. Most likely he will not get a lifetime ban from the MLB for allegedly violating the Collective Bargaining Agreement, USA Today noted.
The penalty would make Rodriguez unable to play baseball until the 2015 regular season.
Rodriguez previously admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs from 2001-03 while playing for the Texas Rangers, but denied any involvement with PED's since joining the Yankees in 2004.
Enstars reported back in January that Rodriguez is accused of purchasing human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances during 2009-12 from Biogenesis of America LLC, a former anti-aging clinic in Coral Cables, Fla., a few miles from Rodriguez's offseason home.
MLB investigators have reportedly collected more than enough evidence during their Biogenesis investigation that proves Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs from 2010-2012.
"We are always extremely disappointed to learn of potential links between players and the use of performance-enhancing substances,'' MLB said in an earlier statement. ''We are in the midst of an active investigation and are gathering and reviewing information.''

A movement-research collaboration with Eva Perrotta and Corinne Cappelletti, and DE-CONSTRUKT [projeckts]. As the first in a three part laboratory dedicated to understanding the life, function and characteristics of the wild plants in Red Hook Brooklyn, we explored the detoxification capacities of dandelion. Each lab is framed by pairing ruderal plants with a particular body function to experiment, play, and re-connect with ecological systems in the urban environment. The lab led participants through a series of experiences through which movement and embodied response offered new kinetic understandings of the neighborhood, the body and plants we often consider "weeds".

Part One is dedicated to presenting and mapping Fort Greene Park's social and ecological relationships. Part Two focuses on formulating and performing in an Open Movement score. Part Three is dedicated to conversation and archiving our collaboration together. Co-led by Athena Kokoronis, Chris Kennedy, Leila Mougoui Bakhtiari, and Jan Mun on May 17 in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn.
Then & Now: Sharing LGBTQ stories across generations
Then & Now is a documentary storytelling project inviting LGBTQ-identifying elders and teens to share stories and oral histories. A collaboration with Elsewhere and the Creative Aging Network of North Carolina.
What was it like living in the south and identifying as LGBTQ? What is that experience like now? The project is inviting youth and elders to interview each other about their experience of living in the south and identifying as LGBTQ. We're hoping to foster relationships across generations and create an oral history archive and resource for North Carolina and the Triad community. The interviews will be used to create a short documentary that will be screened in Greensboro and submitted to the Greensboro Public Library and local universities as a public and ongoing archive of LGBTQ experience in the south.

Below are some sample video interviews from a short film called Intersections created by visiting artist Emilio Rojas during his residency at Elsewhere in 2012:
Read-Ins encourage reading in public spaces to activate possibilities for shared wisdom. The first Read-In was organized on August 8, 2012 in partnership with the International Civil Rights Museum and Elsewhere to accompany the Greensboro Historical Museum's Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings, a traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Read-In commemorated the authors of burned books, raise questions of oppression, and celebrated freedom of expression through a day-long public reading that traveled across downtown Greensboro.
The Listening Story of No Words
A movement-research collaboration with students at Dudley High School and artist Athena Kokoronis to create a site-specific dance for downtown Greensboro.
The Listening Story of No Words explores a dance process that draws inspiration from the tradition of quilt making, line drawing, personal experience and expression through movement and improv. The project was developed during a 3-week residency at Dudley High School and Elsewhere museum.

Below are some images from my time and collaboration with Center community members:
Everyday Obsolescence
Everyday Obsolescence is a video work created during SoundLab, a youth-led media project exploring the role of technology and the everyday. The project challenged a group of high school students in Greensboro, NC to create sculptures from discarded media equipment and video self-portraits to compose an experimental score of music and sounds. The project was a collaboration with artist group INVISIBLE, (Mark Dixon and Bart Trotman) and students from Weaver Academy and Guilford College.

Hello All
I'm stuck with a problem that basically boils down to analytically computing the total sweep of the solid angle subtended at a point. Assume that there is a quad that moves along a direction vector say u, and for each position on the direction u, I would like to compute the solid angle subtended by the quad at a fixed point. Can someone point out if there are any existing methods or possible locations for where I can find a solution?

Re: Sweep of a solid angle
To find the solid angle subtended by a surface, begin by projecting it onto a sphere centered on your point. The projected area can be formed by intersecting lines from the point to each of the vertices of your quad with the sphere. The projected area can then be calculated by breaking the quad into a couple spherical triangles and using some spherical trigonometry. Or perhaps you can find a formula that allows you to calculate the area directly from the projected quad.
The solid angle is 4 * pi * (the projected area of the surface) / (the area of the sphere)
The solid angle is 4 * pi * (the projected area of the surface) / (the area of the sphere)
Re: Sweep of a solid angle
You can directly calculate solid angle of spherical rectangle without triangulation.
