Aside from cleaning, springtime is great to de-clutter and re-organize stuff, from the supply closets and drawers inside to the garage or shed outside. Start buy separating the stuff you don't need any more from the stuff you are planning to keep. With the stuff you are ditching, if the items are still in good condition try to look for avenues to donate it but if that is not viable try to recycle when you can. For the stuff you are going to keep, try not to simply throw it all back in the drawers and shelves that they were in but re-organize in a way that will better utilize space.
One of the best ways to do this, whether you have tools or any other supplies, is to put up some pegboard. Pegboard allows you to turn wall space into storage space with ease, helping you to de-clutter shelves, drawers and floor space. Feel free to check out some of our pegboard kits and see which one would work best for your spring cleaning project.
Carpets and upholstery are notorious for trapping and holding dirt and bacteria. Making sure you give them a deep cleaning will not only make the carpets and upholstery look better, but it will also decrease the chances of catching a bug as well.
Most supermarkets have cleaners available for rent for those looking to tackle the task themselves. If you are going to go that route, test the process on a small corner of the carpet to make sure the shampoo doesn't stain or discolor. After cleaning, opening the windows can speed up the drying process. Of course, if you have wall-to-wall carpet and the DIY approach just wont work for you, you can always hire a professional.
It might not look like it, but dust and dirt can cling to vertical surfaces just as well as horizontal surfaces. Using a magic eraser-type sponge works great for getting dust and marks off of flat paint without staining the paint itself. You can also use a warm water and dishwasher detergent mix as well, but be sure to test the mix on a small section to make sure it doesn't stain the paint. Semi gloss paint holds up a lot better against water, so simply wetting a clean rag works quite well to remove built up dust on walls.

The World Series of Poker has just announced that in 2009 that whenever a player gets thirsty while playing in the World Series of Poker, they will be served on the best in energy drinks and bottled water. These products that will be served are All-In Energy Drinks and Purified Water and these will be the only options for players if they want an energy drink or a bottle of water.
With this deal in place between All-In Energy Drink and the World Series of Poker, this means that energy drink superstars such as Amp, Monster and Red Bull will no longer be able to provide their product during any World Series of Poker Event. The length of the deal was not released but it was said that All-In Energy Drink products will be the only products served for years to come to the loyal World Series of Poker players. Last year the World Series of Poker saw more then 100k energy drinks and over 300k bottles of water served during the entire length of the 2008 World Series of Poker.
It was then the World Series of Poker's marketing and sponsorship director Ty Stewart who went on record saying "We are pleased to continue our partnership with All-In Energy Drink and Purified Water, All-In Energy Drinks and Purified Water provide an important boost to our players during tournament play and we look forward to many years of partnership with All-In Energy."
Also another piece of news to note is that during the 2009 World Series of Poker there will be an All-In Energy Invitational Tournament which will have a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. In order to qualify for your chance to play in the tournament you must purchase products from the All-In Energy website throughout the year.

Anna Kessler was a fun-loving kid who developed issues with breathing over time. "I thought it was just asthma at first. I couldn't get a full breath," Kessler said. Kessler's pediatrician told her she had sports-induced asthma. "It was a lot of tightness in my throat. I felt like my throat was closing off," Kessler said. Around the age of 13, Kessler's condition got worse. Kessler figured doing something active like running track would help her work through it. "I figured if I pushed myself enough, I could conquer it," Kessler said. As she grew older, things became harder, she became more and more debilitated. She could barely walk 50 feet. Kessler and her family went to doctor after doctor, knowing that it couldn't be just asthma. Quality of life for Kessler seemed to get more restrained by the day, until she met Dr. Sidd Khosla. Khosla studied at MIT and is now a doctor at University of Cincinnati. He used his understanding of jet engines to diagnose and treat Kessler with vocal cord dysfunction. "We studied fluid mechanic principles and how they affect airflow in the lungs or blood flow in the heart," Khosla said. Kessler's rare diagnosis had the potential of paralyzing her at age 30 if not treated. Khosla and other doctors like Dr. Liran Oren found the mechanics and science of jet engines like the ones used in planes and space shuttles can be used to mend vocal cords. "We spend a lot of time trying to make these things quieter. Trying to reduce the sound that you hear from this engine. We know a whole bunch of things about it. We then take this and learn how to reverse and make thing sound louder with the voice," Oren said. Khosla took that same approach to Kessler, successfully completing her first surgery. "I remember, opening my eyes and taking in a breath and to this day it was the clearest breath I have ever taken. I think I started like crying. I couldn't speak because of the surgery. My mom was like what's wrong? I wrote down, I have just never breathed this clear before!" Kessler said. "He changed my life. He completely changed my life. I am so much more capable of doing things and I feel like I don't have anything holding me back," Kessler said. Kessler is now 20 years old. She is eager to finish her degree at UC, in hopes of moving away from home for the first time in her life "One hundred percent I have gotten my life back. It is amazing what he has done in my life," Kessler said.

2014, R, 118 min. Directed by John Ridley. Starring André Benjamin, Imogen Poots, Hayley Atwell, Ruth Negga, Andrew Buckley, Oliver Bennett.
A word of warning: Do not come to this movie expecting to find a standard-issue Jimi Hendrix biopic, complete with the story of the Sixties' music legend's meteoric rise to guitar-hero status, dollops of his life doled out from his formative years to his tragic death at the age of 27, peppered with tasty soundbites from his back catalog and selected anecdotes from those who knew him best. Writer/director John Ridley (the Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave) does something else entirely, and it's to everyone's benefit. Jimi: All Is by My Side is an evocative, probing, enlightening, and impressionistic look at the lesser-known period of Hendrix's life: the pivotal time from 1966-67 during which the musician discovered his style and voice.
Not unlike Hendrix, who turned his left-handed guitar-playing into one of his greatest technical assets, Ridley turns the biggest barrier to the making of this film into its chief engine for ingenuity. Barred by Hendrix's estate from using any of his songs, Ridley locks into a compelling way to tell this story that has no need for music rights to the Hendrix classics. By placing the focus on the period from 1966-67, when Hendrix went from playing as a sideman still known as Jimmy James to becoming the star attraction known as Jimi Hendrix, Ridley's film mostly takes place before Hendrix's first LP, Are You Experienced, comes out. Jimi plays plenty in the film, and some of his guitar runs can sound like precursors of later chord progressions, but when it comes to complete melodies, the filmmakers use songs written by others, like "Wild Thing" or "Killing Floor," which sends Eric Clapton scurrying from the stage when the unknown Hendrix jams with Cream.

Books, Harry Potter
HP8 (FINALLY)
August 4, 2016 Phillip
There I was on July 31, standing outside the book store, rushing in to get "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." While it occurs twenty years after the seventh book (it actually starts at the epilogue) and it's not a novel but a play, I was ecstatic to finally be reading a new Harry Potter story. So there I was, first in line (it actually kind of was serendipitous…I didn't camp out or anything, I just showed up expecting loads of other people in line and no one was there), ready to make my purchase, my inner child was squealing. It felt like I traveled through time back to when the books were being released. I then raced home and opened my copy, savoring the moment, wondering if this truly would be the last time I'd read a Harry Potter story for the first time.
I haven't finished "Cursed Child" – I just started the fourth act, I'm savoring it- but so far you can tell J.K. Rowling didn't write the play completely by herself. Apparently she helped come up with the idea, but it was really written by Jack Thorne, but it feels a little like a bad fanfic. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible – any Harry Potter is better than none – and it grabs my attention and it's very fun/easy to ready, it's just not the usual J.K. Rowling I'd expect. I mean, in her seven novels, J.K. Rowling thought everything through. For instance, I read an article once about how Professor Trelawney in HP3 says that if thirteen dine together, the first to rise is the first to die. Then in later books, there are dinners where thirteen people dine together and the first person to rise was the first to die (Sirius, Dumbledore, and Lupin). I haven't actually gone through and checked to see if this is true, but it's something J.K. Rowling would do: she puts so much minor detail and attention in it, that every time you read it you get something different out of it. However, "Cursed Child" seems to lack this continuity.
Not to give anything away, but, for instance, in "Cursed Child" everyone refers to Voldemort as Voldemort. Everyone. Not just Harry, Ron, and Hermione. All the people who, in the books, were too afraid to use his name all of a sudden could use it. Yes twenty years have past, but in the books twenty years past after Voldemort first vanished after killing Harry's parents and they still called him "You-Know-Who." What's more, everyone refers to Malfoy as "Draco" (his first name). It's so bizarre. For seven books he was "Malfoy," and then all of a sudden he's "Draco." There are just moments where I sit back and scratch my head and think, "This isn't right."
I will say, though, that I thought reading the play would curb my desire to rush off to London to see the play. It, however, probably did the opposite: so much action and magic happens in the play, I'm so curious how they perform it on stage. I mean, to see it performed would be awesome…I hope they film it for those of us who can't make it to London.
Anyway, I don't write this to dissuade anyone from reading "Cursed Child." It's great to be back in the wizarding world and checking up on our old friends, but be prepared for it to be different. Let's hope, though, that this inspires J.K. Rowling (and only J.K. Rowling) to write more Harry Potter books!

A maturing population makes osteoporosis management a must
The biggest bang for the buck is treating the older population for which fractures are more prevalent.
Osteoporosis May be a silent disease, but its effect on people and pocketbooks is making noise. More than 1.5 million Americans experience osteoporotic fractures each year at an annual cost of nearly $14 billion to the U.S. healthcare system, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation. It is estimated that about 40% of U.S. white women and 13% of white men aged 50 years will experience at least one clinically apparent fragility fracture in their lifetime.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) reports that by 2010, about 12 million people over the age of 50 are expected to have osteoporosis and another 40 million to have low bone mass.
With the aging of America-baby boomers are expected to add 75 million people to the elderly population-managing osteoporosis and reducing the risk of fracture should become more of a healthcare priority. The Medicare Modernization Act and Part D are poised to place more emphasis on a condition worsening as people age.
Echoing the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the Surgeon General's report emphasizes the importance of bone mineral density (BMD) tests for women over age 65 years.
In addition, the report expresses concerns about existing gaps among providers and payers: physicians who suggest therapy but do not follow evidence-based guidelines, and managed care organizations who cover osteoporosis and do not see the full impact on their members, many of whom will have moved to Medicare by the time they suffer a fracture.
ADAPTING DM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
The National Association for Quality Assurance's HEDIS standard for osteoporosis management in women who have had a fracture measures the percentage of women 67 and older who were diagnosed with a fracture and who received either a BMD test or prescription treatment for osteoporosis within six months of the date of the fracture. The measure applies only to Medicare. The results in 2003 show that much opportunity for improvement exists; only 21.2% of health plans achieved the 75th percentile, while 26.4% fell into the 90th percentile.
One effort that Touchpoint Health Plan, now owned by United HealthCare, has initiated in relationship to osteoporosis is "Everyone Teaching Compliance," a program which promotes conversation between patients and their physicians during the office visit and at the pharmacy. Printed sheets on osteoporosis, which explain the condition, what patients can do to prevent it, how much calcium is appropriate and sources of calcium, complement efforts by physicians, nurses and pharmacists to consistently educate patients about osteoporosis and calcium intake.
To approach a younger audience, pharmacists are urged to discuss calcium use with members using oral contraceptives. "The best shot at building up the skeletal structure begins in the teens," says Terry Maves, director of pharmaceutical services for Touchpoint.
Maves says, however, that the biggest bang for the buck is treating the older population for which fractures are more prevalent rather than younger women in post-menopause with less risk. "If you have limited resources, you have to decide judiciously where to use them," he says.
Robert D. Recker, MD, director, Osteoporosis Research Center, and professor of Medicine at Creighton University in Omaha, agrees with Maves that assessing risk earlier is an intelligent approach, but he is concerned that health plans will be reluctant to cover the assessment, especially if no risk factors exist. He touts the use of bone density DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scans as the only measurement technology that provides good risk prediction data. Although he sees patients after a fracture, he prefers an earlier scan to possibly prevent the first fracture.

The racist PowerPoint presentation that hung a sorority (watch)
Black America Web Featured Video
The Alpha Delta Pi sorority has been disbanded indefinitely from Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina, after a member of the white sorority used photos of black football students in a presentation on characteristics which she considered "unattractive".
LIKE US ON FACEBOOK. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM & TWITTER. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE.
She reportedly reported "big nostrils, dreadlocks, and big lips" as physical features she considered unattractive. She also compared them to images of "attractive" white college students. The sorority wanted the presentation to be fun, but after photos of it leaked on social media, the black students whose photos were used and ultimately school administrators became aware of the 'incident and found nothing amusing.
"I don't see why something like this is funny. I do not see how it is funny ", declared Ja-Quez Harrell, a senior Methodist and former member of the football team who received a photo of the presentation the next day. "With everyone who was there, how come no one stopped him?" Harrell asked.
A member of a Methodist fraternity shared with WRAL News a screenshot of an apology sent to one of the football players in the photo, allegedly from the sorority member who made the presentation.
"I didn't want all of this to be targeted at individuals and certainly not in a malicious way," she said in the direct message. "It was by no means aimed at African Americans, I can promise."

Beth wright, a spokeswoman for the sorority's national headquarters, said her group suspended the offending student's membership. His group also suspended membership in the university's sororities chapter. "Alpha Delta Pi was outraged and deeply saddened to learn of the racist behavior of our chapter member Theta Epsilon at Methodist University," Wright wrote to the Observer. "His actions directly contradict the values of Alpha Delta Pi."
"Racism has no place in our fellowship," Wright continued, "and we will continue to work for inclusive spaces and restorative justice in our chapters, on our campuses and in our communities."
Methodist officials said in a statement Tuesday that they began investigating the incident last week and have already started the process of hearing the students involved. They also ordered Alpha Delta Pi to "cease and desist from all activities" on campus. All of Alpha Delta Pi's Methodist chapter social media accounts were closed on Tuesday, and representatives from the sorority's national headquarters did not respond to WRAL's request for comment.
Methodist is a private university with around 2,000 students, more than a third of whom identify as students of color, officials said.
"Methodist University is committed to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. We abhor racism in all its forms on our campus, and we immediately investigate all possible incidents of racism and act accordingly as appropriate, as the facts warrant, "officials said in a statement.

Chemical Maker Huntsman to Cut 900 Jobs
Huntsman Corp said it would cut about 900 jobs and that it was exploring options to reduce capacity at its titanium dioxide, or white pigment, business.
The chemical maker, which bought Rockwood Holdings Inc's pigments business for $1.1 billion in October, had been betting on a turnaround in demand for titanium dioxide.
But prices of the pigment, used as a whitener in various products including toothpaste and cars, continue to remain dismally low due to oversupply.
"They need to take some action to help support the pricing, especially in Europe," SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst James Sheehan said.
Huntsman said it expected annual savings of about $130 million by mid-2016.
The acquisition of Rockwood's unit made Huntsman the no. 2 player in the titanium dioxide industry.
Huntsman said at the time it planned to spin off roughly 20 percent of the combined pigments business into a public entity within two years of the deal's close.
The company said on Monday it was continuing to take steps to list the entity.
Huntsman's shares were down 0.4 percent at $25.42 in early trading on Monday. Up to Friday's close, the stock had risen nearly 4 percent this year. (Reporting by Sayantani Ghosh and Kanika Sikka in Bengaluru; Editing by Kirti Pandey and Siddharth Cavale)

Homobó de Cremona o Homobó Tucenghi (Cremona, Llombardia, segona meitat del  - 13 de novembre de 1197) fou un mercader llombard, conegut per la seva caritat. És venerat com a sant per l'Església catòlica.

Biografia
Omobono Tucenghi havia nascut en una família menestral cremonesa. L'herència del seu pare, sastre i mercader, li permeté dedicar-se al comerç de la llana, fent-ne la seva fortuna. Casat, no va tenir fills. Dedicat al comerç i la política municipal a Cremona, destinava els seus guanys a la beneficència, per la qual cosa esdevingué popular i estimat a la seva ciutat.

En política, eren temps de lluites intestines entre els partidaris del poder papal i el del Sacre Imperi Romanogermànic, partit pel qual havia pres part Cremona. Homobó va contribuir a apaivagar els conflictes civils i es convertí en una autoritat respectada.

Va morir sobtadament mentre assistia a missa, durant el cant del Gloria a l'església de Sant'Egidio de Cremona, després dedicada a ell mateix.

Veneració
La seva mort va causar commoció a la ciutat i aviat es parlà de miracles que se li atribuïren. La seva tomba esdevingué lloc de pelegrinatge i el bisbe Sicardo, amb representants de la ciutat, va demanar que n'autoritzés el culte al papa Innocenci III, que el canonitzà el 13 de gener de 1199 anomenant-lo pare dels pobres. Esdevingué així el primer sant laic de la història.

El seu cos reposa a la cripta de la catedral de Cremona. El Consell de Cremona el va proclamar patró de la ciutat en 1643. També es venera com a protector dels mercaders i sastres. Probablement pel seu nom, la comunitat gai de Nova York el considera sant protector.

The Retirees in Helsinki – Searching for Sibelius
As we enjoyed the weak sunshine on the ferry returning to the mainland (not the sloop shown in the picture below) we decided to go to the Stockman building. We had noticed a roof top something on the Stockman so our next port of call was the roof top of that department store. The roof top bar was exposed cold and windy – the girls tried to enjoy a G&T but an accident with the delivery lost part of the G&T and left us looking for a warmer spot. In front of the Stockman is the monument to the workers of Finalnd. It was getting colder and nearing our dinner time so we returned to the apartment to warm up.
The following morning Kerry and Rod were leaving us to visit an exchange student they had hosted many years ago. To use some of the remaining time together, we decided to find the church called the Rock. Walking through the village past the local museum we spotted an opening in the rock face in front of us – here was the church. Recently constructed and without any charm I saw it as a gimmick and soon lost interest. Rod and Kerry departed at the Rock church whilst we set out to find the Sibelius memorial.
Jean Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957), was a Finnish composer and violinist. He is widely recognized as his country's greatest composer and, through his music, is often credited with having helped Finland to develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia.
Sibelius composed prolifically until the mid-1920s, but after completing his Seventh Symphony (1924), the incidental music for The Tempest (1926) and the tone poem Tapiola (1926), he stopped producing major works in his last thirty years, a stunning and perplexing decline commonly referred to as "The Silence of Järvenpää", the location of his home. His home was named Ainola after his wife.
Our trip started by tram and then a walk through a park. On the way we passed an unusual church. Its colour first caught my eye then the unusual rounded end and the bell tower with its reliefs/murals on its ceiling. There was a service being performed and parents were dropping off and collecting children from the attached creche.
Beyond the church was the park and across the park is the memorial. The memorial acknowledges his connection with the Finnish countryside and his musical composition.
We then returned to the city and visited the Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral. Helsinki Cathedral is the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the neighbourhood of Kruununhaka in the centre of Helsinki, Finland. The church was originally built from 1830-1852 as a tribute to the Grand Duke of Finland, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. It was also known as St Nicholas' Church until the independence of Finland in 1917. It is a major landmark of the city. Austere and lacking the glitz of a catholic cathedral the building does not resonate with the riches of the roman church.
Having seen the Sibelius memorial I decided I wanted to visit Ainola so the following day we went to the bus station to catch a bus out into the country. Whilst waiting for the bus we walked through the station and out of the station onto another square where we encountered and odd structure that turned out to be a church and found that we were within walking distance of the Central Railway Station – in fact we could see the damn thing.
We returned to the bus station and awaited the arrival of our bus. It arrived shortly before the appointed time. we boarded and paid our fare took our seats and waited for departure time when the bus left precidely on time. Having caught our bus we found ourselves some what lost. Without a route map we were not certain where to get off the bus and missed our stop meaning a 15 min walk back to our stop. Fortunately, the only other passenger waiting at this bus stop spoke excellent English and gave us some further directions – which we followed and proved to be wrong. So here we are in the wilderness of Finland and not a clue where that was. One thing though, our bus ticket seemed valid wherever we travelled. We got onto back roads looking for a lakeside walk and end up at a resort at Onnela.
The resort was just starting to re-open for the spring (they were clearing the snow from the ground) but the restaurnat was open for lunch. After a simple lunch we got some further directions and made our way back to the highway to await and flag down another bus.
Finally, we arrived at Ainola although you would never know it from any street signs. We walked along the dirt track towards a suspicious group of vehicles suggesting a carpark. Arriving at a kiosk/café/toilet we were relieved to learn we had arrived – this was Ainola home of Jean Sibelius. And there was an English guided tour due to start. So we had struck it lucky.
The tour only covered the lower floor of the house as the upper floor was considered unable to handle constant trafic of visitors. The tour of the house was great. Here in this country cottage Finland greatest composer lived and worked or should I say his wife lived and worked – he spent a lot of time in Germany and the US and did not handle money well. Further he saw music in colour – the green fire place was "F" major. We went out to the grave site where he and his wife lay and the laundry and bath house, the potato store and the place where the sauna once stood. For most of his life the house did not have running water or electricity. They had two helpers – a cook and a house maid both who stayed with them for years. I cannot see anyone replicating this lifestyle today. Well you may be wondering how we got home – train. Yes we caught the bus again to the end of the line where we caught the train into Helsinki and the underground home.

The Retirees in Finland – Helsinki
Our time in Berlin had expired. Our flight to Helsinki awaited.
Helsinki is the capital and most populous city of Finland. Located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, it has a population of 650,058. The city's urban area has a population of 1,268,296, making it by far the most populous urban area in Finland. Helsinki is located north of Tallinn, Estonia, east of Stockholm, Sweden, and west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It has close historical ties with these three cities.
Helsinki was established as a trading town by King Gustav I of Sweden in 1550. The construction of the naval fortress Sveaborg in the 18th century helped improve Helsinki's status, but it was not until Russia defeated Sweden in the Finnish War and annexed Finland as the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland in 1809 that the town began to develop into a substantial city. Russian Emperor Alexander I of Russia moved the Finnish capital from Turku to Helsinki in 1812 to reduce Swedish influence in Finland, and to bring the capital closer to Saint Petersburg. Despite the tumultuous nature of Finnish history during the first half of the 20th century (including the Finnish Civil War and the Winter War), Helsinki continued its steady development. A landmark event was the 1952 Olympic Games, held in Helsinki.
It was cool when we arrived at the airport and joined the queue for a cab. There is a flat fee for a cab from the airport and the volume of our luggage proved to be a difficulty until one fellow took the attitude that he would make it fit which he did. The trip into town seemed quite long and on arriving the apartment seemed not to exist. Eastern European architecture (and this looked familiar to St Petersburg architecture) approaches things differently. In this case there were two entrances one for apartments 1 -20 and another around the corner for 21 to 40. We unloaded our luggage and took a walk to get a meal. Just down the road was a Nepalese restaurant completely empty save for a little brown fellow behind the bar. Yes they were open but the kitchen would be closing in an hour. With no pressure from other customers we were soon enjoying a variety of Tibetan meals. It turns out the restaurant has been there for 25 years – just odd! At least I thought a Nepalese restaurant in the heart of Helsinki was a bit odd.
The following day we made our way to the bus station/underground station and purchased a multiride ticket and caught the underground to Central and the CBD. Later we were to find out that had we walked through the bus station we would have viewed the central railway station – we were literally 10 mins walk from the CBD. The escalator into the underground was very steep and long. That's because the bus station is underground but on top of the underground if you get my meaning.
On board the underground train we travelled 1 station and surfaced at the Central Rail Station and a department store called Stockman. This store was to become a landmark for us to orientate ourselves. From there we walked down a park lined avenue to the markets and the wharves. Trams were everywhere. We were to learn that the trams all ran through the CBD. Each route would start outside of the CBD run through the CBD to the suburbs on the other side. There did not appear to be any inter suburban connections.
The sea is a major part of life for the Finnish people. Car ferries (moving mainly semi-trailers) criss-crossed the Gulf of Finland uniting Tallin and St Petersburg. However, we were down here to catch the ferry to the naval fortress Sveaborg. Helsinki is sheltered by a host of islands but unlike Brisbane which is sheltered by some large islands, these islands are rocky outcrops up to a few acres in size the biggest being Sveaborg. The trip was very pleasant, provided you stayed inside out of the icy wind that represented Spring and the cost was included in the bus pass.
Suomenlinna (or Sveaborg (Swedish), literal translation in Finnish is Castle of Finland and in Swedish Castle of Sweden is an inhabited sea fortress built on six islands and which now forms part of the city of Helsinki. Originally named Sveaborg (Fortress of Svea), or Viapori as called by Finnish-speaking Finns, it was renamed in Finnish to Suomenlinna (Castle of Finland) in 1918 for patriotic and nationalistic reasons, though it is still known by its original name in Sweden and by Swedish-speaking Finns.
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism. Sweden started building the fortress in 1748, when Finland was still a part of the Swedish kingdom. Augustin Ehrensvärd (1710–1772) (his grave is located on the island) and his gigantic fortification work on the islands off the town of Helsinki brought the district a new and unexpected importance. Fortifications were also built on the Russian side of the new border during the 18th century and some of the Swedish ones were added to. In addition to the island fortress itself, seafacing fortifications on the mainland would ensure that an enemy would not acquire a beach-head from which to stage attacks. The plan was also to stock munitions for the whole Finnish contingent of the Swedish Army and Royal Swedish Navy there. In the Finnish War the fortress surrendered to Russia on May 3, 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809.
Arriving at the Island you first observe the naval academy still in operation on one of the adjoining islands and a long low set pinkish building forming the boundary wall to the community/fortress inside. Cobbled streets abound creating a real problem for Kerry's feet. Still she soldiered on (pardon the pun).
To access the fort you pass through a tunnel out into an unexpected domestic looking scene. The island also supported the families of the sailors stationed here. Timber houses with odd rain catcher/water heads? In a climate as cold as this it seemed strange that timber was the predominant building material and those rain water heads must have had something to do with snow. In the centre of the island sits a very plain church far more like I expected of a protestant congregation. The fence however is made up of Swedish cannon and boat chain. The island still functions and in the distance we could see apartment accommodation. There was the occasional brick home with their own style of double insulation with memorabilia filling the voids.
As we crossed the island we came upon a bridge over a streamor canal. Internally the island supports a vibrant shipyard repairing sailing vessels but the original purpose is never far from view. We found the dry dock which once must have catered for very large vessels but today hold sundry ships awaiting attention. Stacks of cut and drying lumber stand protected and awaiting the call to service. We found a little restaurant in the boat yard and enjoyed fish soup with crusty bread. After lunch we continued our walk through the tunnel in the fortifications to a central square. The tomb of Augustin Ehrensvärd is prominent in the square and our walk continued onto the batteries hidden in their grassed mounds facing to the sea. Resting in the residential blocks behind the batteries are a number of museums, including the last surviving Finnish built submarine, Vesikko.
Having toured the battlements, we returned to the wharf where we had arrived and returned to the city. Despite it being the middle of the day I was happy to have my ski jacket to protect me from the wind.

Pinefish is a Washington Square neighborhood restaurant serving up innovative small plates and good vibrations. The boho-chic interior sets the mood for a unique dining experience that takes you back to the 70's. Peter Dissin's exceptional palate and modern vision are the inspiration behind the exceptional wine list, divine sauces and small plate selections at Pinefish.
Every day, including weekends, the Happy Hour at Pinefish is a local favorite for dollar oysters, clams, and steamed shrimp. In addition to the dollar specials, you will love the $4 & $5 small plate offerings paired with $5 wines, $5 martinis, mojitos and craft beers. Happy Hour daily 4:30 - 6:30.
Tune in Saturday, April 13th at 7 p.m. to FYI Philly for an Easter Egg special! Every weekend Pinefish serves up Friends with Benedicts. Stop by to check out this eggstravaganza! Reserve Easter Sunday brunch. We've extended brunch to 4 p.m.
Felt like we were in the Village. Great opportunity for a great meal, but the service was exceedingly poor (the young woman was simply a rookie, I think, and the acoustics made it so that a party of seven women drowned out the person sitting next to you from a few tables away. Some sound dampening and experienced wait staff would have brought everything up one or two stars. Great food, though!
Great service, outstanding food (especially for the price) and quiet/relaxing and eclectic ambiance.
Been here many times. Always delicious. We've take many friends here and they all agree!
Expensive for the amount of food we got, we left hungry.
The actual food was good. The sauces left something to be desired. It was only eh.
Terrific restaurant. Very good fish. Great service. Would recommend w/o reservation!
Fabulous meal and excellent sangria.
I loved the repurposed furniture and silverware definitely eclectic and it was great. we had small plates that were brought out one at a time with perfect. timing. the end of the rainbow cocktail was amazing!!!! service was excellent. my ONLY complaint is that there is only one bathroom as in one toilet for the entire restaurant. Its a fairly small place but a second bathroom is needed.
Came for a birthday dinner. The food is insanely good. We tried everything on the small plates menu. The scallops and salmon were perfect. You can't go wrong here if you want good seafood.
I loved the ambiance. The Waiter was excellent and the food was amazing. I would go back and recommend to everyone!
Everything was great except the service was very slow. Seemed there were too few servers on handle the volume. Waited a decent time in between ordering items. Also, we were not told what the kitchen was out of until we had sat for a while and the server came to take our orders. It made me have to change my order on the fly which was upsetting as I had my mind made up on a specific item (burger) and could not get it.
Great food with friendly service.
Went for happy hour for my girlfriend's birthday. The service was great. What really sold us on this place was the ambiance. The food was delicious, especially the oysters. Will definitely make trips back in the near future.
All most delicious - interesting and well prepared - nice to have variety and also smaller portions!
Had a wonderful dinner gathering with 7 people in a relaxed environment where we could easily have conversations. We shared a variety of small plates entrees and desserts. Everything from brussels sprouts, roasted octopus, cauliflower, two kinds of fries, whole fresh fish, miso cod, fish stew, Oreo and lime desserts. Can't even remember everything we ate and drank. We all enjoyed our visit and the delicious meal together.
We had a great time. Love the ambiance of this place. The food is outstanding!!! The server was a little slow and scattered, but he was nice. We will definitely be back!
Great Happy Hour! Good food!
Tall people, watch out for low-hanging chandeliers!
Great appetizers and dishes - delicious miso cod. Service was exceptional.
Fun restaurant, good food, great happy hour menu. We made a meal of happy hour specials that was fun snd satisfying.
Good and atmosphere was amazing. I'm definitely coming back!!!
Brunch was fantastic and the ambiance is super charming. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. They have all you can eat pancakes for $11, and they are good fluffy pancakes. I had the crab cake eggs benedict and it was perfection.
Food was very good. Serivce was lacking - long time between each dish (20 mins) which made it awkward to dine.
I would but I would also let them know they have to be specific as to when they want certain foods served together. For example, we received what we considered our side dishes to our entrees way before we were served our entrees. Therefore, we ate the sides before our entrees. We don't know if that is just the way you do things or if there was a problem with our order, etc. Most people do like their sides with their main meal. The food was very good but it was noisy so much so that sometimes we could not hear our waiter....maybe that was the issue with the food service.
Pros: Great artisitcal ambience, food menu, and drinking menu. The food was delisious and it was portioned well (Crab Cake, Garlic Shrimp, Filet Mignon of Tuna, and Hamburger).
Personal Con: Our waitress was a little fast and did not explain the menu. We were new to the restaurant and she wanted to take our full order (soup, appetizer, entree) without explaining to us whats the soup of the day (we had to ask) etc. She was mannerly, but a little contradicting, because she had a dry personality and her facial expression were unprofessional (eye rolling) etc.
Average food, we ordered happy hour items that can only be served at happy hour. The mussels and oysters were extremely small even for a dollar. I've eaten much larger $1 Happy Hour oysters. The $1 shrimp on the other hand were a nice size well worth $1 the Prosecco was also worth $5. The service was strange somewhat unorganized. This experience would not encourage me to order from the main menu.
I had a very pleasant dining experience .
The food pretty good. Unfortunately the service was lacking.
Absolutely love Pinefish. Quintessential Philly, great ambiance, incredible food and so much fun. A local's place and one that all seafood lovers should check out.
I had an amazing time at pinefish. It was my first time, along with the six other ladies I brought with me. Food was amazing! Can't wait to return.
The brussel sprouts and tuna tartare with fois gras were both amazing!

Om Shanti Om 2007
This was the officail website to promote the 2007 Indian film, Om Shanti Om, a retro kind of take on the world of Bollywood itself.
Content is from the site's archived pages as well as from other outside sources.
For Bollywood fans, Om Shanti Om, is available on Netflix and on Youtube.
Aankhon Mein Teri - Om Shanti Om (2007)
In the 1970s, Om, an aspiring actor, is murdered, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti, the love of his previous life.
Om Prakash Makhija is a Junior Artist in the 1970's hindi film industry, who is in love with actress Shantipriya. Om rescues Shanti from a fire scene where the fire has escaped control, and they become friends. His hopes seems to be coming true, but shortly thereafter he finds out that she is married to a film producer, Mukesh Mehra, and is expecting his child. He then watches in horror as Mukesh, after luring her in an abandoned studio, sets it on fire to prevent a financial loss and protect his career. Om attempts to rescue her in vain, and he eventually is killed. 30 years later, Om has reincarnated as the only son of a Bollywood actor, Rajesh Kapoor, and is himself an actor. His memories start to return when he meets with his widowed mother, Bela, from his previous birth. He also meets with Mukesh and together they decide to make a movie 'Om Shanti Om'. Om then hires a look-alike of Shantipriya, and hopes to force a confession out of Mukesh - but things go awry and Om finds his ...
TomatoMeter CRITICS 75% | AUDIENCE 77%
Love and dreams follow two starry-eyed actors across three decades and two incarnations in this splashy Hindi musical. It's the early '70s, and Om Prakash Makhija (Shah Rukh Khan) is a young would-be actor who has been playing bit parts in Bollywood musicals while looking for his big break. Om's ambition is to become a film star and win the heart of beautiful screen siren Shantipriya (Deepika Padukone), and his pal Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) and his mother, Bela (Kirron Kher), both encourage him not to give up on his dreams. One day, Om meets Shantipriya on a movie set, and he feels as if destiny is finally smiling on him, but when he overhears her having an argument with studio chief Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal), Om senses things are not as they should be. Before Om can decide what to make of his misgivings, the studio burns to the ground, claiming the lives of Om and Shantipriya. Thirty years later, a bit of Om's spirit seems to live on in Om Kapoor (also played by Shah Rukh Khan), a popular film actor with a large ego and a fear of flame who was born the day the old studio burned down. Despite his fame, Om is lonely, at least until he meets Sandhya (also played by Deepika Padukone), a shy but eager would-be actress looking for her chance to become a star. Om Shanti Om was directed and co-written by Farah Khan, who was a top choreographer in the Indian film industry before moving up to the director's chair, and features guest spots from a number of Bollywood's greatest stars, a few appearing in the form of digital recreations taken from films of the '70s.

Has a wow factor unequalled by any Hindi film in memory.

I totally enjoyed this flick and was stunned by the quality of the acting, script. and the photography. Not a dull moment. The only criticism I had was the seemingly odd introduction of the Batman obsession. Did a Batman t shirt retailer pay for a product placement? I mean I do love Batman and even have several t shirts, but I was a bit surprised to see so much attention paid to the mention of the best place to buy Batman shirts. I'm probably over sensitive to the commercialization of US products. Don't think this in any way makes this a bad review - I totally loved this film the actors and the music!

Of the cast, Arjun Rampal is consistently first-rate as the suave villain. And Deepika Padukone is fantastic, so surprisingly assured that you marvel at her poised debut.

Yesterday's gangsta moll, Bindu, is now bigger than a shopping mall. No one can carry off a suit as sharply as Dharmendra, jackflash like Jeetendra, and hey dude, Mithun Chakraborty is still the disco champ. As for Rekha, guys, ma'am can blow the stockings off any fashion ramp. Drool.
Want to celebrate the crunch-popcorn-Manmohan Desai movies of yore? Then you've come to the right place. Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om is dedicated to the imperishable magic of the movies. Flog them or fume over them, but nothing compares to those tickets which make fantasies real. Mmm, that's entertainment.
Be warned though. You really have to love the matinee madness to go rah-rah at the homages to the classics (like the haystack fire from Mother India), and hello, even larkish lampoons. Govinda, Manoj Kumar, Feroz Khan, Rajnikant, the Bachchans, Yash 'Swiss' Chopra, Sooraj Barjatya, are all targets of affectionate humour. Chuckle.
Clearly, the choreographer-director's zest for the movies is apparent right from the moment, she kicks off with a clip from the Omrao Jaan act performed in Karz (1980). Subhash Ghai is directing , his facial expressions are a laugh riot. Cut, cut, cut, the camera alights on a jazzy junior artiste (Shah Rukh Khan) who'd love to be Chintu baba, Rajesh Khanna, a star! Zoom over to a physically challenged Baby Naaz-type, chasing her brother a la Sacha Jhuta. Yup our wanna-Khanna is among the baraatis. Howlarious.
Of course, there's no plot. Wanna-Khanna flips for Dreamy Girl (Deepika Padukone) with that Hema Malinesque smile. Baddy movie tycoon (Arjun Rampal) organises a studio fire. Blood, burns, deaths, the works! Oh oh.
Some 30 years later, the wannabe has become Megastar OK, gets these terrible aag-hi-ugh headaches, and vows to exterminate Baddy. In the bargain, he reunites with Lady Malini, Chum Papoo (Shreyas Talpade, nice nice) and Masala Mum (Kirron Kher, ticklishly over the top). All quite easily done. QED.
OSO, so wonderful, the '70s are rocking. But the latter-half is a bit of a head clanger. In fact, you want to rush the screenplay to the ICU unit. Oxygen laao! The transitions to the reincarnation stuff are sloppy, insulting to the intelligence of the viewer.
Staggeringly, Apna Om-reborn meets his mum etc as if mythological hero Mahipal had given him a road map. Dame Dreamy pops out of thin air. During the climax, a door is suddenly jammed. Now, that never happen even in the Joginder Singh jamborees.
The finale does drag. Fortuitously, the end credits are marvellous. As in Main Hoon Na, the entire cast and crew shows up for a jig. Brightly photographed, OSO returns the smiley to your face. The dialogue has wit; Vishal-Shekhar's music is remarkable for the title track and the spoofy six-pack Dard-e-disco. The unqualified piece de resistance, though, is the Naseeb-inspired song-and-dance with the who's-why of showbiz fetching up to shake a leg. Wah!
Above all the enterprise belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, who tackles comedy, high drama and action with his signature style – spontaneous and intuitively intelligent. Six-pack or no-packs, he's the entertainer of the year in this valentine to the movies - hatched and delivered by Farah Khan. A must for masala movie lovers.

At almost three hours long the film drags a bit, but you'll have more fun at Om Shanti Om than most of the Hollywood movies released today. Watching it, you can't help but smile.

Om Shanti Om reaches exuberant musical highs that outshine the melodrama surrounding the set pieces.
Omar Ahmed Radio Times
With themes of loss and grief delicately handled, this makes for charming viewing.
Writer/director Farah Khan (Main Hoon Na) reverses the recent Bollywood trend towards action and glamour, with this romantic and colourful supernatural romp. India's leading man Shah Rukh Khan stars here alongside newcomer Deepika Padukone in a story of thwarted passion, violence and rebirth that begins in the 1970s. Khan plays Om, a young artist madly in love with superstar actress Shanti (Padukone) But before their love can flourish, Khan meets with an untimely death - only to return years later determined to expose the truth. With themes of loss and grief delicately handled, this makes for charming viewing. Khan excels as the humorous Om while newcomer Padukone proves she has the acting ability to back up her flawless looks.
An actor is killed in a fire in the 1970s, but is reincarnated in the present day. As his memories start to come back, he enters into a film-making project with the man he blames for his death, hoping to force a confession, while also seeking out the love of his past life. Bollywood musical fantasy comedy, starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. In Hindi and Urdu.

I had to go to toronto to see No Country for Old Men so my local suburban theater could show this shite. ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE or SHITTY THIRD WORLD TRASH???!!!???
***** Ash M January 24, 2008
Abso-fishing-lutely loved this movie!! Don't be mistaken by the glitz and the glamor, my friends. Farah Khan has given the entire gallery of bollywood traditions a nice big slap in the face, one that was well deserved. behind the dances and the cameos and shahrukh's wierdly timed english lines lies a film that makes us look properly at the entire bollywood industry that has surrounded us since forever. this is mostly thanks to its over-the-top parodies, guest-yesteryear stars, and dramatic bgm. and that's not all. Farah has, in my opinion, scored another point with the ending. I disagree with most people who think that the ending was the single unexpected thing of the entire movie. It was terribly expected. And despite that, Farah's attention to detail, Deepika's and Arjun's sudden burst of acting ability, and a SLIGHT hidden twist pulled it off so magnificently, it gave the artist in me shivers.
I'd say another round of applause to Farah, since she managed to fit every Bollywooder and their mother into the camera frame (thus paving the way for more subtly stabbing parodies). The only two actresses noticably missing were Kareena and our darling Aish. I mean, she even managed to get TABU to come out of her hidey-hole, and let's face it, how often does THAT happen?
On Shahrukh: Kudos for the body. Seriously. I wanna be him when I'm old and half dead from smoking, back pain, and ignoring my doctor's advice.
On Deepika: A pretty face who, at first, posseses what must be the deadest set of eyes in Bollywood. Then a third of the way into the movie she really opens up, and is given the key to unlock the variety of emotions that is Shanti.
Shreyas: The perfect best friend. In fact, so perfect, that I barely noticed him. Good job. Moving on.
Arjun: Loved him at the end. Overall he's improving. First few scenes with him were painfully stone-faced, though.
Kiron: Good grief, this woman moves me to tears EVERY FISHING TIME. She caught me as the mother in the earlier half of the movie, and she broke my heart in the second half, where she chases after the car, and onwards. Then her character tries to act, and I fall off my chair laughing. Seriously, woman, marry me.
I don't know why people say this is only for entertainment value. Surely someone else noticed the message that Farah was sending throughout the movie?
Although I AM curious about one thing. Did Farah rope in all these people as favors? Like, "Hey, wanna have a five second cameo in one of my songs?" and they're like "Sure! No charge, it looks like fun!" ? Because it really did look like everyone must've had a blast shooting this. The only alternative I can think of is a budget the size of the entire fishing subcontinent.
P.P.S.: To Shirish Kunder. You probably will never read this, but I'm compelled to say this anyway. Get a moustache. And a testosterone jab. I know I'm the last one to ciriticize femininity, and really, looks shouldn't matter, but with Farah flaunting the natural look, this is becoming a horribly wrong case of "famous celebrity and trophy wife".
½ * Siddharth G January 24, 2008
pathetic movie.. thats all i can say
*** ½ Nishant B January 24, 2008
SEEN 4 TIMES .... WAS NOT SO GREAT BUT WAS FUNNY AND INTERESTING
*½ Sanchit B January 24, 2008
The movie starts with Karz's song and it gives you an impression that this movie is all about films, but as the film progresses it seems like a spoof and SRK's overacting in the first half is entertainig but his potrayal as a 24 year old star is a dismal. hats off to his marketing skiils that even an average movie has become an all time blockbuster. his six pack abs are too over done and are a mere marketing gimic so no need to get excited. Arjun, Shreyas and Deepika are good and it seemed like Kirron Kher is the only one who knows how to act. Akshay Kumar is brilliant and the music is good. All in all a one time watch
***** Ashvin D January 24, 2008
Original and entertaining - Farah Khan keeps getting better! With very good representation the 1970's, with details being cared of. Add spices of humour, love, faith, star-power and of course good music... and you get the biggest blockbuster of 2007!
*****Varuni W January 23, 2008
Excellent movie.........

IMBd User Review
Just Fantastic!!!
25 December 2007 | by The_Jihadi
If you sit to watch a typical Bollywood Commercial masala movie, Leave your brains behind. Om Shanti Om is one such film that entertains you in every aspect.
Om Shanti Om is the story of the Indian Film World. It is the story of a Junior Artist (Extra) Om Prakash Makhija (Shah Rukh Khan) who dreams to become a superstar one day. He is madly in love with Shanti Priya (Deepika Podukone) who is a super star and she is in love with a film producer Mukesh Ahuja (Arjun Rampal). Mukesh after learning this fact that Shanti is pregnant with his child and his most ambitious project will come to hold if he marries her, He kills her. This whole event is witnessed by Shanti's good friend and her secret lover Om. Even Om dies in that tragic accident while trying to save Shanti. Mukesh runs to Hollywood and get's married there a multi-millionaire's daughter.
But destiny has a total different story to tell… Om is reborn again after 30 years as a Super Star Om Kapoor (Shah Rukh Khan) and the destiny makes om meets Sandy (Deepika Podukone) who is a look alike of Shanti Priya. Om and Sandy make a plan to trap Mukesh who comes back to India after 30 years to make a film with Om. The evil get's punished and the truth wins forms the rest of the film.
Technically the film is just brilliant. It shows on the screen the amount of money that has been spent into the making. The sets are glossy and breath taking. The camera work is just superb. The editing is fantastic and crispy. Musically a very decent and a good effort. Especially the song where all the 31 stars perform is a treat to watch for. The story and direction by Farah Khan is very good.
Performance wise the film belongs to King Khan Shah Rukh Khan all the way. New girl Deepika Podukone is the next superstar. It did not seem at all that she is a new actress and this is her First Film. Arjun Rampal was awesome in the negative role. Kirron Kher was really good once again. Shreyas Talpade was again very good. He gets an equal footage with Shah Rukh to perform.
For those who go for Artistic Cinema, This film is strictly not for them. But those who need Full Time Pass, Om Shanti Om is the real good choice. Here the Film Maker is trying to fool you, But in return they are offering you a Glossy Dream of 2 hours. So if you are looking for a Roller Coaster ride of Entertainment, Go for Om Shanti Om!

National Lottery gives 500 Scottish Groups Reason to Celebrate
Over £3.8 million in National Lottery funds is being shared by almost 500 groups across Scotland. The windfall means grassroots groups delivering everything from wheelchair football to after-school holiday clubs and drama workshops to hip-hop dance sessions now get the green light to go ahead.
This community based cash boost comes from National Lottery Awards for All Scotland which makes grants from £500 to £10,000 with funds raised by the National Lottery.
Every Local Authority area in Scotland has a group that has been awarded funding today. For more details on where National Lottery funding is making a difference near you and a full list of awards.
Glasgow Gladiators Powerchair Football Club is just one of the 494 groups thanking National Lottery players today. Their grant of £10,000 means they can now buy a club owned football powerchair giving more disabled footballers the chance to try out and join in.
Taking time out from a busy training session Josh Millar, 17, from Wishaw, said: "I've been playing for nearly three years now and I love it. I have been a big football fan all my life and now I can play myself it gives me such a sense of freedom as well as fun. I had to fundraise really hard to buy my own chair as they are over £5,700 so I would really like to thank National Lottery players for giving more people the chance to play and take part in other sports."
Kenny Munro, Treasurer, added: "Having a new football powerchair means we can offer other wheelchair users the chance to come along and try the sport. These chairs are really expensive so it can be difficult for people to just have a go. We're also able now to offer our members the chance to take up the Paralympic sport of Boccia. The grant means we can buy new equipment and pay for hall hire. Both arms of the Club can now run for the next year and this money will make an incredible difference to us."
National Lottery Awards for All Scotland awards grants to community, arts and sports groups on behalf of Big Lottery Fund, Creative Scotland and sportscotland.
Announcing the funding, Martin Cawley, Big Lottery Fund, Director for Scotland, said: "This is a fantastic amount of National Lottery money, nearly £4 million, going to hundreds of groups, run by local people actively working to make their communities better places to live. Meeting the Glasgow Gladiators players and seeing first-hand the enjoyment they get from their sport really brought home to me the difference that even the smallest amounts of money can make."
Stewart Harris, Chief Executive, sportscotland, said: "At sportscotland, we believe in the power of sport and its ability to bring communities together.
"The almost £4million of National Lottery Awards for All Scotland funding announced today will make a huge difference to local groups and clubs with ambition to provide more and better opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity in the heart of their communities, and right across the country."
Janet Archer, CEO at Creative Scotland said: "We are delighted to partner again with sportscotland and the Big Lottery Fund on National Lottery Awards for All Scotland. These vital awards from the National Lottery will increase access to the arts in communities across Scotland, improving quality of life and stimulating imagination and confidence through creative experiences."
Applications are received on a rolling basis and can be received at any time. To find out what National Lottery Awards for All Scotland could do for your community visit our website (detail) or phone 0300 123 7110.

When Painful Periods Become a Bigger Problem
Endometriosis is known as an invisible illness. But the pain is real and there are scars to prove it.
Posted by The Iowa Clinic on Saturday, March 30, 2019
The cramps and symptoms of the menstrual cycle differ from woman to woman. For some women, their period comes with few adverse effects. For others, it leaves them curled up on the couch in horrible pain.
In the latter group, a couple of ibuprofen tablets may not be enough to get through another month. And each month, the pain can get progressively worse or even start popping up between periods. But chronic pain is not part of a "normal" period, even if it's quite normal for women to experience it.
Chronic period pain is the number one symptom of endometriosis.
When the pain becomes too much, it's time to get some answers, says Nicole Meyer, PA-C at The Iowa Clinic Women's Center.
"Chronic pain, particularly during your periods, is the number one symptom of endometriosis. The vast majority of the pain, especially in the first few years, is period pain," she says. "Heavy, horrible periods lead to a lot of cramping. And over time, the blood comes up out the fallopian tubes from years of heavy periods."
When blood spills out of the tubes, it can cause a lot more pain than a normal period. Within the blood, there are little pieces of endometrium, the lining inside your uterus that builds up each month to support a pregnancy. When these pieces get out of the fallopian tubes, they implant themselves all over the outside of the uterus and ovaries.
"Every month when your hormones say it's time to have a period, all the little pieces of endometrium inside and outside the uterus hurt horribly," Meyer says. "If it goes unchecked, it starts scarring up your reproductive organs, creating blockages and making it hard to get pregnant."
Heavy periods are the most likely cause.
"We don't know what causes endometriosis but part of it has to do with heavy periods that make the blood spill out of the tubes the wrong way," Meyer says.
Surprisingly, that happens to 90 percent of women. Instead of flowing out of the body like a normal period, menstrual blood with endometrial cells flows back through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity. Yet only 10 percent of women develop endometriosis — a much lower percentage, but still a surprisingly high number.
"Why does this happen to one woman and not the next? There are other mechanisms at play, and we don't know them," Meyer says. "There's a lot of research going on right now and we think it's partly genetic."
Surgery is the only way to diagnose endometriosis.
Pelvic exams, ultrasounds and MRIs can be used to check for large cysts or scars from endometriosis. But the only sure way to diagnose the condition is through exploratory surgery.
"Endometriosis is really hard to diagnose. You have to have exploratory surgery so the surgeon can see the scarring," Meyer says.
Endometriosis is known as an invisible illness, but it leaves visible scars — bright, purple ones, actually. So when a surgeon gets a look inside the pelvis, they can clearly see the endometrium attached to the outside of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The only way to do that and get a diagnosis with certainty is through a minimally-invasive laparoscopic surgery.
A hysterectomy is not a common treatment but a last resort.
Surgery is the way to get an endometriosis diagnosis. It's not the only way get out of one.
"A hysterectomy would actually be a last resort. It's usually unnecessary. Usually, we can find some sort of solution to suppress your period that almost always works," Meyer says.
Your hormones get going every month during your menstrual cycle, activating the endometrium to detach and release as a period when there's no pregnancy. They're also activating every little piece of endometrium elsewhere in your pelvis. Stop the hormones, stop the pain.
"The first thing we do is suppress your estrogen. We want to stop that lining from building up and stop all those little pieces of endometrium from activating and causing pain," Meyer says. "Birth control methods like pills, IUDs (intrauterine devices) and Depo-Provera® shots help control it. There are also some medicines that suppress estrogen to turn off periods for a while so that all the little pieces of endometrium go dormant."
Birth control prevents ovulation. If you don't ovulate, the endometrial implants don't build up as much and endometriosis is less painful. The other hormone-suppressing medications work in a similar way. Additional pain management treatments are sometimes necessary, but the real key is finding the right method and to keep the hormones suppressed.
Yes, you can still have children!
Endometriosis is the third-leading cause of infertility, which rightfully scares any woman who has a desire to have children. The endometrium can block the tubes to make it harder for sperm to find the egg or build up enough to change the shape of the reproductive organs. That can make it harder to get pregnant, but most women are still able to conceive normally.
Traditional treatment methods suppress your hormones and periods, which isn't possible if you're trying to have kids. Talk to your doctor about your plans for pregnancy when you are diagnosed with endometriosis for a treatment plan tailored to you.
"We don't know exactly when endometriosis starts. Treating it earlier is always better," Meyer says. "As soon as you start developing heavy, horrible periods — through your teens and twenties — you need to come in and talk about it right away. To preserve your childbearing years, you want to keep those heavy, horrible and painful periods controlled and not allow them to go unchecked for years."
