Oz asked gently, “If we could find the old you, would that be saving your life?” The woman nodded, then began to describe her descent into obesity, but again the producer waved her off. The shot had failed, and they would need to repeat it. Oz started over: “If we could find the old you, would that be saving your life?” He assured her that he would help “chip away the part of you that you don’t want, and you will find that the old you, the real you, is hidden inside.” The woman, still dizzy with exhaustion, nodded gratefully. The producer said, “Cut,” and everyone filed out of the room. It was 8 P.M. and Oz had been on his feet for twelve hours. More than a thousand people had come to the hospital that morning for Oz’s “15 Minute Physical,” part of a nationwide tour during which Oz, aided by many volunteers, takes people’s blood pressure, weighs them, measures the size of their waists, then checks their cholesterol and glucose levels. Oz chose those tests because the results are available immediately, and the information is useful and easy to understand. High blood pressure can be addressed with medicine and, often, by altering dietary habits. The same is true for obesity and, in most cases, diabetes.
Oprah Winfrey first referred to Mehmet Oz as “America’s doctor” in 2004, during one of his earliest appearances on her television show. The label stuck. Oz was a rare find: so eloquent and telegenic that people are often surprised to learn that he is a highly credentialled member of the medical establishment. Oz graduated from Harvard University in 1982. Four years later, he received joint medical and M.B.A. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. He then moved to Columbia and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where, as a surgeon specializing in heart transplants, he has served as vice-chairman and professor in the department of surgery for more than twenty years. (He still performs operations there each Thursday.) Oz also directs Columbia’s Cardiovascular Institute and Integrative Medicine Program, which he established in 1994, and has published scores of articles on technical issues, such as how to preserve muscle tissue during mitral-valve replacements. He holds a patent on a solution that can preserve organs and one on an aortic valve that can be implanted without highly invasive open-heart surgery.
By 2009, after dozens of appearances on “Oprah,” Oz had become so popular that Winfrey offered him his own show, produced by her company, Harpo. “The Dr. Oz Show” has since won two Emmys and averages nearly four million daily viewers. Certainly, no American physician has greater influence over a larger number of people. Oz has been named one of Esquire’s 75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century, as “the most important and most accomplished celebrity doctor in history.” He ranks consistently in the top ten on the Forbes list of most influential celebrities, and has been included on a similar list of Harvard University alumni. In 2008, Oz received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. And, along with Michael Roizen, who is the director of wellness at the Cleveland Clinic, Oz is one of the “You Docs,” having written, over the past decade, a series of books, including “YOU: The Owner’s Manual”; “YOU: The Smart Patient”; “YOU: On a Diet”; “YOU: Staying Young”; “YOU: Losing Weight”; “YOU: Having a Baby”; “YOU: Stress Less”; and “YOU: Being Beautiful.” There are well over a million “YOU” books in print.
Oz also presides over a rapidly expanding empire of social media. He recently launched You Feel, an app on his Web site that lets users “enhance” their response to the question “How are you feeling today?” by “adding an image from their computer, a picture from Facebook, or a YouTube video.” The You Feel community is an outgrowth of doctoroz.com, which has become a kind of Merck Manual for the layman, addressing nearly every imaginable ailment, but pitched particularly to those who feel constrained by the rules of conventional medicine. Thousands of videos are available on the Web site, and they deal with every issue of mind and body, from facts about stomach cancer to the value of shrink-wrap liposuction.
“The Dr. Oz Show” frequently focusses on essential health issues: the proper ways to eat, relax, exercise, and sleep, and how to maintain a healthy heart. Much of the advice Oz offers is sensible, and is rooted solidly in scientific literature. That is why the rest of what he does is so hard to understand. Oz is an experienced surgeon, yet almost daily he employs words that serious scientists shun, like “startling,” “breakthrough,” “radical,” “revolutionary,” and “miracle.” There are miracle drinks and miracle meal plans and miracles to stop aging and miracles to fight fat. Last year, Oz broadcast a show on whether it was possible to “repair” gay people (“From Gay to Straight? The Controversial Therapy”), despite the fact that Robert L. Spitzer, the doctor who is best known for a study of gay-reparation therapy, had recanted. (Spitzer last year apologized to “any gay person who wasted time and energy” on what he conceded were “unproven claims.”) Oz introduced a show on the safety of genetically modified foods by saying, “A new report claims they can damage your health and even cause cancer.” He also broadcast an episode on whether the apple juice consumed daily by millions of American children contains dangerous levels of arsenic. “Some of the best-known brands in America have arsenic in their apple juice,” he said at the outset, “and today we are naming names.” In each of those instances, and in many others, Oz has been criticized by scientists for relying on flimsy or incomplete data, distorting the results, and wielding his vast influence in ways that threaten the health of anyone who watches the show. Last year, almost as soon as that G.M.O. report was published, in France, it was thoroughly discredited by scores of researchers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Oz quickly established himself as a heart-transplant specialist. He loved the surgical life and clearly still does. I accompanied him into the operating room one morning this winter and watched as he rebuilt a woman’s malfunctioning mitral valve. The surgery lasted five hours. Oz had come directly from an appearance on the “Today” show wearing a pin-striped suit over a pale-lavender shirt, its top two buttons open. When he arrived at New York-Presbyterian, he raced to his office and changed into scrubs. Before surgery, we toured the operating theatre. The hallways were stacked with drawers full of rotatable valves, stents, grafts, and rubber O-rings of every conceivable size—all hardware used to repair damaged hearts, neatly arrayed in Plexiglas boxes and arranged like the nuts and bolts on the shelves of a Home Depot. The operating room itself contained a maze of plastic piping that twisted though the air between the heart-and-lung machine and the operating table.
There are few more stressful occupations than that of heart surgeon. No matter how routine the procedure or how heavily the odds favor success, the moment the surgeon saws through a patient’s breastplate, inserts steel retractors to spread the ribs apart, then stops the heart, he literally has the patient’s life in his hands. Oz treats the operating room like a Cub Scout den, and he is its jovial but determined scoutmaster. He usually works with Michael Argenziano, an affable, bearlike man who is chief of adult cardiac surgery. (Oz trained Argenziano, and they have worked together for years.) I hovered in the background, watching the operation on one of the giant monitors suspended from the ceiling. At various points, Oz called me to the table to explain what he was doing. As the team of doctors, nurses, and technicians busied themselves draining blood from the woman’s heart, Oz insisted that I climb onto a step stool at the head of the operating table and gaze directly into the woman’s open chest cavity, where her heart, controlled by a machine and a team of masked surgeons, lay exposed. “What better view will you ever have?” he asked.
No surgeon gets as far as Oz has at New York-Presbyterian without talent and a compelling desire to lead; beta males choose other professions. Yet Oz has limited regard for what he considers the surgical personality. “Let me explain why surgeons are assholes,” he said. “Surgery is controlled arrogance. You think you can take a knife to someone’s chest and help him. Who thinks that way? Certainly no normal person. You need that confidence, that certainty to do it.” We were sitting in his office at New York-Presbyterian, shortly after the operation had concluded. Covers of various publications that have featured Oz were mounted on the walls, along with his diplomas from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. He produced a large bag of blueberries and offered me some. He is rarely without blueberries, almonds, or easy access to the “green drinks,” made mostly from cucumber, spinach, apples, and herbs, that he often mentions on his show. Oz doesn’t follow any of the miracle cures or fad diets that he trots out so regularly for his audience. He eats like a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer and exercises daily. He never takes an elevator when he can use the stairs; the one time I saw him do so, he told me he was embarrassed by his indolence, a word nobody else could possibly associate with him.
It didn’t take long for Oz to become convinced that a patient’s state of mind could be important to a successful surgical outcome. With his father-in-law’s encouragement, he began to explore music therapy, energy fields, and therapeutic touch, and he began to offer them to his surgical patients. Here, too, Lisa played a major role; she is a Reiki master, and Oz soon became famous at New York-Presbyterian, not to mention within the broader surgical community, for encouraging the practice of Reiki in the operating room. Reiki, the Japanese art of laying on hands, is based on the notion that an unseen, life-giving source of energy flows through our bodies. Oz hired a Reiki master named Julie Motz to stand in the operating room, where, she has said, she would attempt to harness “the body’s own energy to help patients survive risky operations, such as heart transplants.” Many of Oz’s colleagues, including some who worked directly with him, thought that permitting a Reiki master to enter the surgical suite at New York-Presbyterian was ludicrous. “She would come in and daven over the heart-and-lung machine for a while,” Eric Rose told me recently. In 1984, Rose made history when he performed the first successful pediatric heart transplant. He hired Oz in 1986 and then, several years later, when he served as chairman of the surgical department at New York-Presbyterian, assigned him to his transplant team. Studies of energy forces in our bodies have routinely shown that Reiki adheres to no known principles of science. In perhaps the most famous such review, a nine-year-old girl conceived and executed a test in which she demonstrated that twenty-one people who claimed to be skilled in the techniques of Reiki were nevertheless unable to detect her “energy field” more often than they would have by guessing. The study was eventually published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2009, even the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops urged Catholic health-care facilities and clergy not to promote or support Reiki.
Oz often says that he is just trying to present people with all their options, because they are sophisticated enough to make decisions for themselves. But some options are more beneficial than others, and medical experts are morally bound to explain the difference, as David Gorski told me recently. Gorski, an associate professor of surgery at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, is the managing editor of the influential blog Science-Based Medicine. “Oz has a huge bully pulpit, with the entire Oprah empire behind him,” he said. “He can’t simply dispense with facts he doesn’t find convenient.” Scientists often argue that, if alternative medicine proves effective through experimental research, it should no longer be considered alternative; at that point, it becomes medicine. By freely mixing alternatives with proven therapies, Oz makes it nearly impossible for the viewer of his show to assess the impact of either; the process just diminishes the value of science.
By that time, in the mid-nineteen-nineties, anti-rejection drugs like cyclosporine had helped make heart transplants common. They were no longer front-page news, unless they involved notable people. When that happened, Rose was often asked to perform the operation. On October 25, 1996, Frank Torre, the brother of the New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, received a new heart at New York-Presbyterian. Rose led the team and Oz was his deputy. The transplant, which was a success, took place during that year’s World Series. The next night, the patient, who himself had been a successful baseball player and manager, watched from his bed as his brother’s team beat the Atlanta Braves to win the sixth game, and the Series. The publicity surrounding the operation was intense; a collage of articles about the event—“HEART OF THE YANKS,” the Daily News offered, in supersize type—still hangs in the cardiac-department offices at New York-Presbyterian. “I had my fifteen minutes of fame,” Rose said. “It was great for my career and for the hospital, but frankly I learned that it wasn’t something I enjoyed.” Oz had an entirely different reaction to the attention. The Torre transplant, Rose said, “was his first big splash of publicity, and he loved it.” Rose laughed and suggested that the experience helped propel Oz toward his current career. I asked Rose what he thought of his disciple’s work as a television host.
The era of paternalistic medicine, where the doctor knew best and the patient felt lucky to have him, has ended. We don’t worship authority figures anymore. Our health-care system has become impersonal, mechanized, and hollow, and it has failed millions of people, many of whom want to find a way to regain control of their own medical decisions. As Oz likes to say, Marcus Welby—the kindly, accessible, but straight-talking television doctor—is dead.
Oz strolled over to a flat-screen monitor and explained that he was about to present a graphic of what a heart attack looks like from the inside. Oz’s graphics are uniformly excellent. A giant simulated heart appeared on the monitor next to his head, and then there was a rush of digital blood flowing through an artery and across the screen; Oz narrated as red blood cells the size of grapefruits flew by. He became increasingly animated as he demonstrated how, after many years, plaque accumulates in the heart. His voice rose to a crescendo: “You are about to watch the leading cause of death in this country.” He pumped one gloved hand into the air: “Kaboom!” Suddenly, an artery became impossibly clogged. The audience was stunned, but Oz was just getting warmed up. He walked over to a table, reached under a cloth, and took out an enormous plastic bag containing human fat, orange and glutinous, that he had obtained from a liposuction patient. “Put it on your waist there,” he said, pressing the package against the belly of the man onstage. “You’ve got effectively twenty of these that you’re carrying around on your back.” The demonstration was hard to watch, but it was even harder to turn away. The autopsy video he showed next, of a man being sliced open and relieved of a thick layer of fat, was even more electrifying—and repulsive. “I am cured of my weight issue forever,” Winfrey said, optimistically, and to great laughter.
That approach became the template for “The Dr. Oz Show”: powerful graphics driven by a compelling narrative. Most days, Oz mines what he refers to as his go-to subjects: obesity and cancer. But both the show and his Web site concentrate on the type of weight-loss plans more commonly found on infomercials in the middle of the night: “Dr. Oz’s Three-Day Detox”; “Eat Yourself Skinny”; “Oz-Approved Seven-Day Crash Diet”; “Stairway to Skinny Workout.” Cancer, Oz told me, “is our Angelina Jolie. We could sell that show every day.” Typical themes have included “Five Fast-Moving Cancers”; “Four Body Pains That Could Mean Cancer”; “Three Cancer-Preventing Secrets”; and “What You Can Eat to Defeat Cancer.” Last year, in a show about weight loss, Oz introduced raspberry ketones, an herbal supplement, as “the No. 1 miracle in a bottle to burn your fat.” That set off a wave of panic buying throughout the nation. The supplement quickly vanished from the shelves of health-food stores. Oz told his audience that the product regulates the hormone adiponectin, which could help teach the body to be thin. But the only relevant research he cited had been conducted on laboratory rats and cell cultures—not on humans.
None of those assertions turn out to be accurate. When coffee beans are roasted, the plant compound, chlorogenic acid, is broken down. Scientists think that the compound itself has an effect on limiting glucose absorption, which in turn helps reduce weight. While the beans are still green, the chlorogenic acid remains intact. In theory, that means the beans can aid metabolic regulation—but theory is not data. Oz based his announcement on a study that was presented at last year’s annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, in San Diego, where researchers reported that sixteen overweight men and women lost an average of seventeen pounds in twenty-two weeks when taking green coffee beans in supplement form. On the show, Oz did not mention that the study was funded by Applied Food Sciences, which makes green-coffee-bean supplements. But he decided to look into it further.
Oz refers to the academic world as a “fortress,” and he is determined to tear down its walls. In the past, his enthusiasms, even when unsupported by data, have usually fulfilled the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. Lately, however, he seems to have moved more firmly into the realm of tenuous treatments for serious conditions. On one recent episode, “Dr. Oz’s 13 Miracles for 2013,” he included “a revolutionary new way to live years longer: it’s red palm oil.” He went on, “Its red color is perfect, because I think of it as a stop sign for aging.” I asked Oz several times why he promotes that kind of product, and allows psychics, homeopaths, and purveyors of improbable diet plans and dietary supplements to appear on the show. He said that he takes his role as a medium between medicine and the people seriously, and he feels that such programs offer his audience a broader perspective on health.
“Ultimately, if we want to fix American medicine we will need skeptical and smart patients to dominate,” he said. “They will need to ask the hard questions, because much of medicine is just plain old logic. So I am out there trying to persuade people to be those patients. And that often means telling them what the establishment doesn’t want them to hear: that their answers are not the only answers, and their medicine is not the only medicine.” But, when he tells his audience, with no credible evidence, that red palm oil may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, is he empowering people? Or is he encouraging them to endanger their health with another “miracle”?
On October 17th, Oz broadcast a program titled “GMO Foods: Are They Dangerous to Your Health?” Oz was not subtle. “You’re probably eating them right now and don’t even know,” he began, darkly invoking “the brave new world of food. Are they safe?” Oz then introduced Jeffrey Smith, the author of “Genetic Roulette,” who says that engineered foods may cause many serious diseases, including colitis, asthma, and cancer. Smith has also made a film version of the book; Oz, for the sake of full disclosure, noted that “my wife, Lisa, was a narrator in Jeffrey’s film.” He added that no scientists were willing to share the stage with Smith. “So today we are doing something we have never done before,” Oz said. “After Jeffrey makes his points, he has to leave the stage before we can speak with the scientists in favor of genetically modified foods.” Other than to say that Smith was controversial, Oz did not indicate why no scientists would appear with him.
Graphic images of rats covered in tumors appeared on a monitor; the images were taken from a study, published in September, contending that the tumors were caused by genetically modified corn. The study was publicized widely throughout the world, but it was denounced by the European Union Food Safety Authority, rejected in a rare joint statement by the six French national scientific academies, and ridiculed by scores of scientists. None of that deterred Smith, who attacked the Food and Drug Administration for “ignoring” these problems. On the show, Oz never challenged him, although agricultural biotechnology has been under review by the F.D.A. for decades, and no agency, in the United States or anywhere else, has found evidence that genetically modified foods are metabolized by the body any differently from any other type of food.
Suddenly, the houselights went up: Oz and the woman were sitting onstage together. “It’s emotional to watch that, isn’t it?” he asked her. “Yes, it is,” she replied. The audience was rapt. Oz reminded her that her blood pressure was “toxically high,” explained that stroke was a significant risk, and stood up. “Come join me,” he said, walking over to a table that was draped with a blue cloth. “It’s going to emphasize what my big fears are.” Oz lifted the cloth to reveal a slice of a human brain the size and shape of a pie plate. The center was stained deep indigo, as if it had been colored with a Magic Marker. “This is someone who had a stroke, probably from high blood pressure, and died,” Oz said. The woman was stunned, the audience hushed.

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA testing, has partnered with Fox Chase Cancer Center, one of the leading cancer centers in the United States, to assess the company's Signatera™ (Research-Use Only) customized circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assay for recurrence monitoring of kidney cancer.
The study will analyze biological specimens collected and banked from 49 patients diagnosed with kidney cancer—including a group whose cancer recurred and a group that did not recur after three years or more. The study will use Natera's proprietary customized assay and next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based technology to determine whether Signatera (RUO) can be used to distinguish between the recurring and non-recurring kidney cancer cases. The study will be led by Philip Abbosh, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor, Molecular Therapeutics Program, Fox Chase Cancer Center.
"There is a paucity of data for circulating tumor DNA in kidney cancer. This research study will explore a novel approach for disease recurrence and treatment response monitoring in kidney cancer, since existing methods have limitations with sensitivity and specificity," Dr. Abbosh said. "Determining the relationship between kidney cancer genetic profiles and prognosis including recurrence using the Signatera assay has great potential to improve patient care by detecting cancer recurrence earlier, assisting adjuvant therapy decision-making, determining treatment effects, and assessing the need for intervention during follow-up."
C. Jimmy Lin, M.D., Ph.D., M.H.S., Natera's Chief Scientific Officer, Oncology, said this kidney cancer study joins a growing number of research collaborations the company has established in the past 18 months involving a variety of cancer types, including breast, bladder, colorectal, and lung cancers. "We look forward to working with Fox Chase Cancer Center," Dr. Lin said. "We expect that this study, along with our ongoing research efforts in other cancer types, will help us move toward clinically validating Signatera, with the goal of enabling more precise monitoring, better determination of prognosis, and individualized treatment of disease."
Signatera (RUO) is the first ctDNA assay custom-built for treatment monitoring and minimal residual disease assessment. The Signatera (RUO) methodology differs from currently available liquid biopsy assays, which test for a panel of genes independent of an individual's tumor. In contrast, Signatera (RUO) provides each patient with a customized blood test tailored to match the mutations found in that individual's tumor tissue, which maximizes sensitivity and specificity. Signatera (RUO) also allows researchers to track additional mutations of interest, up to several hundred mutations.
The Hospital of Fox Chase Cancer Center and its affiliates (collectively "Fox Chase Cancer Center"), a member of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet recognition for excellence four consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship and community outreach. For more information, call 1-888-FOX CHASE or (1-888-369-2427).

Silver Fox Ranch has been a dream of mine for years. I have raised, shown hogs and cattle. Cared for sheep, horses, trout, and all different breeds of chickens. In raising these my own animals I have weeded out the stereo type and created my own view on true ranching. I believe in the notion that as long as that animal's live is the greatest it can be up until the very end that is the greatest satisfaction I can receive. We are starting out by breeding, showing, and raising Silver Fox rabbits, Mini Rex, and Dwarf Hotot. And we have plans to keep on expanding.
Silver fox rabbits coming in three registered colors Black being predominant, the rarer color blue, and chocolate. They also can come in white and lilac.
This breed of rabbit is great to raise especially for novices that have never worked with livestock. Silver foxes are a very docile, large breed. The females are great mother and are normally very willing to take and foster kits. This breed is a meat and fur rabbit. Bred for fur that is soft, similar to an actual fox pelts, and have a silvering thought it's whole coat. Being a larger rabbit also means they are a meat breed. Female weighing 10-12 lbs at a maturity and males weighing 9-10 lbs at maturity.
Here at Silver Fox Ranch we have five breeding silver foxes, three dwarf hotots, and six mini rex. We are also registered member under ARBA (American Rabbit Breeds Assocation), MSRBA (Michigan State Rabbit Breeders Assocation), ADHRC (American Dwarf Hotot Rabbits Culb), and NSFC (National Silver Fox Club).
We love for are animals to get homes!

“That wasn’t anything I didn’t already know. You confirmed my feelings.” This is the one of biggest compliments I can get on a reading. I consider it the gold standard in knowing I’ve done my job well.
Don’t you just love when that elusive “missing piece of the puzzle” shows up and makes the picture whole?
Some confirmations came years after I was told about them in a reading. Like which town I would end up living in! And I didn’t choose it, because it just happened to be where my future husband lived, and he wanted to stay here.
I get the most confirmation from Daily Tarot… like daily.
I’ve always accused my mom of playing parlor games with anyone in the psyhic realm. She feels you shouldn’t share too much as not to “tip them off” & I’ve always felt if you trust someone you share what you feel you should. Last week I did the thing that drives me nuts about my mom & psyhic stuff but didn’t realize it until reading this.
I had some balancing work done by someone we chatted for a little, I didn’t even ask a question and she starting going on about how bad this other person was REALLY BAD KARMA for her.
I shouldn’t just told the whole story with the question because I ABSOLUTELY DO TRUST the person I wanted clarification from. Even better if I would’ve just used everything I’ve leaned to look at the situation from a balanced perspective and I would’ve realized the “other” woman is not to be trusted.
Honey, I don’t think you’ve got any karmic issue here at ALL. We are all finding our way every day, and I know I make mistakes routinely that are destined to increase my understanding and clarify my purpose and role. Those mistakes are a gift and I do my best to recognize them as such.

For your next storage purchase, perhaps you'd want to consider EMC?
Make no mistake: NetApp is a good company with a good product. And they've enjoyed some good success over the years.
But things move fast in the storage industry.
This is a big one for many customers. Especially the ones looking to get more from their storage investment.
Put a standard EMC VNX configuration next to an equivalent standard NetApp config and you'll notice a meaningful difference: the EMC array will usually deliver at least 25% more usable capacity -- out-of-the-box -- guaranteed.
The reason is simple -- the way NetApp does storage burns up a lot of raw capacity to deliver capacity that you can actually use. EMC's approach is more efficient -- we convert more raw capacity into the stuff you can actually use.
For the customers who've done the comparisons, the differences are eye-opening. There's no magic or hand-waving involved -- it's pretty much black and white.
And if, for some strange reason, we can't deliver that extra usable capacity in your specific environment, no worries -- we'll make up the difference at no charge to you.
You can learn more about EMC's no-nonsense guarantee here. There's also a handy calculator if you'd like to estimate your savings.
Look at it this way, you'll either get 25% more usable capacity from EMC using an identical (and presumably similarly priced) configuration, or you'll force NetApp to lower their prices substantially.
We use the latest Intel processors, smart algorithms and flash technology to deliver the highest levels of performance the industry has seen to date.
You can check out our latest industry standard SPEC benchmarks here and here. If you don't like those, there are more available -- just ask. In many cases, we're not just a little faster -- we're a whole heckuva lot faster.
To be fair, not everyone needs superior performance levels from their storage, but -- if you do -- no one has you covered better than EMC.
We've invested in over 75 distinct integration points with VMware. From VAAI to management to backup to security, no one in the industry does a better job integrating with VMware, as you'd expect.
Actually, no one else really comes close.
I think that's just one of the reasons in survey after survey, EMC storage products show up as the #1 choice for virtualized environments.
If you're heavily invested VMware, our investment in integration makes your VMware environment simpler, more powerful and more robust.
And, if you're a Microsoft Hyper-V or Xen user, we've got a great set of integration capabilities to discuss as well.
I know, many years ago EMC had a reputation for products that were very powerful but weren't always the easiest to use. That's not the case any more -- we've made big investments to change that, and it's paying off.
Perhaps the best example is our storage management environment, Unisphere. Whether you prefer to manage storage directly, or through your hypervisor, you'll find a tool set that helps you get the job done with a minimum of truss.
If your time is valuable (and it is!), you really owe it to yourself to see what Unisphere can do.
Generally speaking, most of our customers hold up EMC's renowned customer support as an example that other vendors should aspire to.
We're justifiably proud of that reputation for excellent customer service, and we work our tails off each and every day to keep it that way.
That's not to say that the other guys aren't good, it's just that we think we're significantly better.
And, when it comes to support, don't you deserve the best?
Many of our customers find that they can meet the majority of their storage needs with a unified product like VNX or perhaps the new VNXe. If that's the case, great!
But some customers have specialized requirements that aren't served well with a one-size-fits-all approach. If that's your case, EMC has you covered like no one else.
For example, we've got high-end enterprise arrays like the VMAX if your requirements aren't met by mid-tier arrays. Or, if you're looking at a better way to do backup, we've got the industry's most popular advanced backup portfolio, led by Data Domain.
There's more: powerful storage virtualization and replication products like VPLEX and RecoverPoint. Big data storage platforms like Isilon's scale-out NAS and Atmos distributed cloud storage.
And that's just the major storage pieces -- as you might be aware, we also do virtualization, security, information management, resource orchestration, data analytics and a lot more.
And that's even before we get to things like VCE and Vblocks.
Put differently, we don't just store your data, we help you manage, protect and share it in a variety of ways.
I think this unique breadth and depth works well for our customers, since we don't have to force fit specialized customer requirements into a single generic product architecture.
We're justifiably proud of our EMC partners -- we think they're amazing.
The way you get to be a great EMC partner is to invest heavily in training and support. Not every partner makes that cut, but those that do consistently deliver an excellent customer experience based on EMC products.
Just as we would do if we were doing it ourselves.
We think our EMC partners are pretty darn good at what they do, and we think that you'll find the same.
Yes, I could go on at length as to why we think EMC offers customers a better deal than the other guys. For example, detailed comparisons of specific software features, implementations details, and so on.
There's actually quite a bit to talk about, if you're interested.
Make no mistake -- the storage industry is highly competitive. There are a lot of good vendors with decent products for you to consider, including NetApp.
That being said, we think we can do a better job for you.
And if you'd be kind enough to give us the time to state our case, we think you'll find the results very worthwhile.
I think that no one has already comment this post because uncommentable!
Called the 866 # 2-3 weeks to get get informaton on the VNXe. Left a message. Never heard back.
Dear Mcdonalds customers, If you haven't eaten at burger king lately, you should know that our burgers have 25% more meat.
Hello... Make the burger taste better and customers will line up. If they don't, change chefs instead of making him make a larger burger!
Sorry, Enrico, that I was not immediately available to approve your comment. I get a lot of spam, so everything requires approval from me.
Hi Michael - which 888 number did you call? And, if you spoke to a secretary, that's not how we handle inbound requests for our products. Doesn't sound right to me.
If you'll give me a number (DM me at @chuckhollis) on Twiiter, I'll make sure someone gets back to you ASAP.
What a great post on modern day history. Seriously your tech dates from the 1990s and even the stec drive u use isn't theirs. Baydell matricite. I wasnt alive when the dinosaurs died but I guess you sound like it was. Great time machine.
I guess that is why the internet was invented -- so people like you could offer up comments like this to share with us all.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Netapps biggest acquisition ever.
While the Netapp record on acquisitions is dismal,(Netcache, Decrue, Topio come to mind) this one might work because the CEO has run both companies. And Netapp finally has a legitimate "Block" story, a hole in their line up that they have been trying to plug for years.
I've refrained from commentary as there's been plenty of good commentary already out there. And, since I work for a competitor, it's sort of assumed that I'd be generally negative on the proposed acquisition.
I guess a good starting point would be the definition of "success". If you take the term to mean "grow the acquired business, enter new markets, create synergies with existing businesses", I have to say I would be extremely skeptical.
NetApp is a "one product, one religion" sort of company. Past acquisitions have proven that -- no matter how good something looks on paper -- NetApp's NIH (not invented here) culture spells certain doom for just about everything they acquire.
More to the point, the Engenio acquisition puts their fundamental beliefs regarding storage up for discussion. Up to now, NetApp's stance was that WAFL was good enough for the majority of workloads. Now they're reconsidering their religion in a very visible way.
If Tom runs Engenio as a completely separate company, perhaps it will do well. However, that doesn't get NetApp the synergies that investors are looking for. Trying to force those synergies will likely be a distriaction to a good portion of NetApp's existing storage business.
I'm speaking from a bit of experience here. At the end of the 1990s, EMC was essentially a one-product storage company (e.g. Symmetrix), and we acquired Data General's CLARiiON business.
It took many years -- and more than a few organizational changes -- before the true synergies of that acquisition emerged.
"EMC Has Great Customer Support"...it's just that we THINK we're significantly better.
1) Article rates 5 out of 5 stars from a completely public internet audience. Approx. 12000 votes when I last looked. This is probably as credible as it gets on the wild west of the internet. Pretty hard to get 5 stars across such a large sample size.
2) The survey is conducted across a broad range of CIO's from a broad range of organisations. They even publish the exact methodology of how the survey was conducted. More credibility.
3) EMC doesn't rate a mention in the top 5 of ANY category. Apology, they do get #5 in the Hardware category. Behind the likes of NetApp (#1), HP and many others. Fact.
4) Specifically for the "Top Vendors for DELIVERING REQUIRED SUPPORT" category, Cisco, NetApp and TrendMicro rounded out the top 3. Fact.
5) When it comes to meeting SLA's --> NetApp, Cisco and Webex (Cisco) round out the top 3. Fact.
If you care to take a look back previous CIO Insight Vendor Value ratings, you may find that the past performance of EMC was not particularly stellar. With the benefit of this 20/20 hindsight, we could (reasonably) conclude that the "past performance trend for EMC strongly correlates with the statistically measured performance of the future".
PS - Chuck, please post this comment. It is both factual and interesting. Definately adding value to the discussion for the benefit of your customers and the industry.
I would have posted your comment had you bothered to identify yourself -- email, affiliation, etc.
Affiliation: Self-employed. Investor, gardener, proud father of 3. I take an interest in IT market trends and the comments of folks such as yourself as I have significant funds invested in the IT industry. Thus I do have a significant vested interest and as such my comments are completely biased by self-interest. As for storage technology specifically, I am really a novice compared to an industry heavyweight such as yourself.
I undertand the point you're trying to make, but your evidence is relatively worthless in my opinion.
Why? Real (and meaningful) surveys are painstaking and expensive undertakings, usually far beyond the resources of a tech webzine.
Most of these publications take the easy way out -- they send out a bunch of emails to some list, and hope that people fill in their survey. Or they put up a form on their website, and invite passerby to fill something in.
Any potential responses tend to come from people who have the time and inclination to fill out a survey. I don't know about you, but I don't have the time and inclination to fill out surveys for random tech publications.
Many IT professionals feel the same way.
I tend to discard any survey where no investment was made in having trained professionals available to interview respondents and validate any information stated: role, vendors in use, etc. I also tend to discard surveys that do not share the questions asked (as is the case here), or how the survey enforced accurate and meaningful sampling.
Not that anyone would ever misrepresent anything on an anonymous internet survey.
Well constructed and meaningful surveys require careful design and execution by a team of professionals. It's an expensive undertaking. I routinely see far-higher quality surveys from financial analysts, industry analysts and organizations such as the TSIA.
You'd get a much better picture from any of those, I'd offer.
Also please note that we (as vendors) routinely invest in high-quality surveys to better understand our current support capabilities and how to make them better.
At some point, I'll probably gather up the relevant data for EMC's support organizations, and make a post of it. Given your comments, I probably should include a healthy segment on minimal requirements for methodologies as well.
You're welcome to make any conclusion you like, but I'd suggest you'd start with meaningful data.
Especially if you're investing your own hard-earned income.
First, you are saying that the survey is flawed because it is anonymous and therefore cannot be trusted. Possible, but unlikely across the large sample size and the long history of the survey. Careful, alot of the people that answered that survey are your customers.
Second, you are saying that the ~12000 folks that voted the report 5 stars are anonymous and also cannot be trusted. Or, all of the voters exercising poor judgement. Possible, but even more unlikely. Careful, even more of those folks are likely to be your customers.
Let us suppose the "untrusted crowd" proposition is true and see where it ultimately leads => Most, if not all, web-based "trusted voting" systems must therefore be fundamentally flawed in the same way. Ebay seems to work. Amazon works. The Apple App store has been pretty reliable in helping me (and millions of others) choose apps. These are all based on the same principle - Open, anonymous, internet voters. (As an aside, isn't the stockmarket operating on a similar mechanism?) You may try to tell us that these examples are different. Perhaps exceptions or outliers to the the "Chuck" rule. But I don't think you will present an case that you truly believe.
Third, you are suggesting that only professional experts, with expert methodologies can produce high quality surveys that can be trusted to achieve a positive outcome for a customer. Can you present any independent research to support this claim? There are plenty of high-quality statistically correct expert surveys across many fields that present completely contradictory results. So which one do we choose to trust? More often than not, it is the group of professionals that our peers rate highest and "trust". Sound familiar?
Fourth, I took a look at the TSIA support excellence awards and EMC certainly has achieved Hall of Fame Status. Good for you. One key point to note, so have your key competitors. The same ones that EMC claim to be better than. Thanks for pointing me to this, but I don't interpret a point of difference.
I strongly encourage you to go ahead with presenting the data from EMC's support organisations. I advise you to extend that survey to encompass all the other headline claims made in the original post. Publish the methodology that was used. If you believe yours is better, then you should be fine with providing significant detail into how it was conducted. Significantly more than the CIO Insight surveys must be provided because you clearly don't put faith in their mechanism being robust enough. In order to make this trusted, all of this could then be submitted for review by your peers and customers.
Then, I suggest repeat this same process annually (quarterly?) until the peer community decides that your methodology can be trusted.
To paraphrase you again Chuck - you are welcome to make any conclusion you like, but I'd suggest you start backing your headline claims with meaningful data and let your peers decide if it can be trusted.
If you would be so kind as to identify yourself and provide some context (role, affiliation, background, etc.) I'd like to post it.
I don't post anonymous comments.
NetApp is growing faster in the storage market than EMC, and the aggressive growth rate is significantly higher with VMware installations. Thus as the number of virtualized data center increases, there’s a correlating decrease in EMC’s market share.
You can't publicly agree with me, but you and I know what's going on in the market.
While I love your passion and wouldn’t want to compete with anyone else, I believe Virtualization Changes Everything including storage market share leaders!
I'll publish your comment, but I think you're way off base -- as typical.
I think going back and forth with you is a complete waste of time. You never seem to bring any useful or interesting to the table. Just the usual (tiresome) NetApp hype -- none of it based on facts.
So -- lets look at the publicly available facts, shall we?
If you prefer the relative measure, last time I checked, Nexanta was the fastest growing in terms of relative share (off the smallest base). I haven't seen the Gartner numbers, but I think they'd be the same.
Feel free to publish any data from a recognized industry analyst (IDC preferred) that might counter my statements.
Every industry analyst survey shows EMC #1 in the storage market, no matter how you cut it.
I know you've read Chad's blog religiously, so you've seen the multiple surveys that put EMC #1 in terms of market share in virtualized environments.
The more customers go to virtualization, the better we seem to do. I'd hope so, give our investment in VMware.
The facts show just the opposite of your claims. Most surveys show NetApp way, way back in the pack in terms of market share in virtualized environments. We've shared our data -- have you published *ANYTHING* to back up your claim about doing well in virtualized environments?
And, for the love of God, please don't try and intimidate that "we both know what's going on in the market". You're just being weird now.
Best of luck with your most recent acquisition.
I wanted to post a recent email requesting my participation in a survey which again shows the "process" of participation. If they send this survey to multiple NetApp employees or EMC employees for that matter, you can see how the data can get skewed? I/We should be exempt for participating because we have a bias. Surely everyone can agree that you can't hold much weight to these non-industry recognized or validated surveys? See below.
Last week, I sent an e-mail regarding our storage solutions survey -- a brief multiple choice survey. I hope I included you on my last message to participate, but if I missed you, I wanted to ensure you received the invitation to participate and enter to win a $100 Amazon.com gift card.
To enter to win our prize, click here to take our survey today, before the survey closes.
I think just about everyone gets regularly hit up with "fill out a survey, win a prize!" types of offers. They're just part of the noisy email spam that we all deal with.
The vexing part is when a vendor actually considers the results meaningful and worth promoting.
If you think about it, the survey results will be sharply skewed to people who have the time and inclination to respond. And, of course, there's absolutely no way to check on the authenticity of the answers.
Fortunately, there is far better data available out there for people who go looking for it. Unfortunately for many vendors it doesn't cast them in a favorable light, hence the desire to use more of a tabloid approach.
I know this is an old post, but thought it worth commenting on how things have changed in a year. A client of mine purchased an EMC VNXe system about a year ago. With the recent operating environment update to 2.2.0, the system has been totally crippled. The new protection storage space requirements result in a raw 15.6TB system with only about 4TB of usable production storage for iSCSI data. While I don't know firsthand that this is worse than NetApp, I would be extremely surprised if it is not. We're talking about a 75% overhead just for the privilege of taking snapshots even on thin-provisioned storage.
Something's very wrong with what your acquaintance is doing.
Please have them contact either their EMC partner or EMC directly as soon as possible so we can get them going in the right direction.
Unfortunately EMC has been consulted directly on this already several times (we didn't believe it the first time we were told) and it has been confirmed that this is the new reality with the VNXe line. IMHO, no longer a viable alternative for block-level iSCSI storage if you want to be able to perform snapshots.
The problem...when provisioning storage you need to reserve protection space at a minimum of 105% of the production data storage volume. That is a guaranteed 50%+ overhead plus the standard overhead from RAID (which may vary depending upon the RAID level chosen).
You hit a common misconception that needs a quick clarification here.
Space utilization is a function of the protocol, not the VNXe. Any sort of snapshot feature on iSCSI is going to take up at least a full copy + metadata. It's a block-level protocol, which makes it a blackbox to any file-level space savings you get with snapshot data protection. That's as much in our control as gravity. Now if your peer uses NFS - a file-level protocol - the VNXe I believe defaults to the very reasonable 30% protection space.
Also, I have to throw it out there that OE 2.2 is hugely impressive from my vantage point.
We baked in an ESRS service that's just a checkbox away from connecting you securely to support, made it even easier to deploy in ROBO environments and released Unisphere Remote to manage all of the systems in a single pane of glass. I don't want to get too preachy: you can start to see how epic the scale of engineering is here. Drop me a line @mjbrender if you'd like more details - I worked on that code release in my last role.
Matt wrote "Any sort of snapshot feature on iSCSI is going to take up at least a full copy + metadata."
You've forgotten thinly provisioned LUNs or deduped LUNs, which save the user storage even before the snapshot. LUNs take up fewer blocks, so LUNs + snapshots on NetApp routinely take up less overall storage than the LUN itself on other vendor's gear.
There are those pesky NetApp features again, just when you thought you had some logic going.
I'm not a celebrity storage guy. I just work for NetApp.
Mickey, No apologies necessary on either side - there's nothing pesky about stating what's true.
You did however put the kart well ahead of the metaphorical horse for the sake of argument. Let's take a step back to the point.
I explained the difference between what storage looks like on disk as a block protocol rather than a file protocol. That understanding is a fundamental differentiation worth making before aiming for points off the checklist of who supports what checkboxes.
Let's teach basic geometry before we rip into vendor calculus.
And for those playing the home game, EMC products also have thin and dedupe options at hand.
1-) I wish Htachi starts to do the same level of marketing as EMC.
2- ) I wish netapp makes a small NAS / block storage box like Iomega for home and low budgeted business ...no one does unified better then netapp ontap Period.....I want one or two for home ... I have Iomega and love it but netapp as well please.
people ... Wish u all the best.

An end to the use of wild animals in British circuses has moved one step closer today following the introduction of a new bill by former Labour Defra Minister Jim Fitzpatrick MP. Animal Defenders International (ADI), who are spearheading the campaign to ban such acts, are backing the bill, rallying the support of celebrities Ricky Gervais, Dame Judi Dench and Brian Blessed, as well as social justice campaigner Peter Tatchell and supportive MPs who joined ADI and Jim Fitzpatrick MP outside the Houses of Parliament ahead of the launch of the bill, which will have its Second Reading this Friday, 5th September.
ADI’s shocking revelations of the brutal violence and constant chaining of Anne the elephant at the Bobby Roberts Super Circus sparked a public outcry across the nation in 2011, and led to a unanimous vote in favour of a ban from MPs following a Commons debate the same year. Anne’s owner was subsequently found guilty of offences under the Animal Welfare Act. Public support for a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses has been consistently high for 15 years, with a Defra public consultation showing a resounding 94% of respondents supporting a ban on such acts.
The current Government first announced that it would take action on this issue in March 2012 but, as ADI had feared, a delay in bringing in a ban has seen the number of wild animal acts increase and the return of big cats to Britain.
This year, ADI exposed how animals touring with Peter Jolly’s Circus, one of two circuses still using wild animals, are not coping with their unnatural lives. A lion and tiger were filmed pacing up and down their ‘beastwagon’, exhibiting repetitive, abnormal behaviour not seen in the wild. The big cat act is presented by Thomas Chipperfield, a relative of the notorious Mary Chipperfield, who was prosecuted for animal cruelty following an ADI exposé in the late 1990s.
Wildlife expert Simon Adams and Stanley Johnson spoke out against circus animal suffering in Britain last month following the release of ADI’s footage of the lion and tiger.
The Government says that it remains committed to the wild animal circus ban. The Prime Minister promised an ADI deputation in April that “We’re going to do it” and in response to the joint letter from 75 ADI celebrity supporters and MPs, David Cameron reiterated his commitment to ban what he calls an “outdated practice” in a personal letter to ADI. But ADI fears time is running out.
ADI and other animal organisations have urged the Prime Minister to support the new bill and ensure it is given time to pass. ADI is also urging members of the public to ask their MP to support the bill.
ADI leads the campaign to stop the suffering of circus animals in Britain and around the world. 27 countries worldwide have placed national restrictions on the use of animals in circuses, and over 200 local authorities in Britain have bans on the use of animals in circuses in place. An ADI team is currently in Peru enforcing measures to end the use of wild animals in circuses there and has already removed 12 lions from circuses.
Dame Judi Dench and Ricky Gervais join a long list of ADI celebrity supporters who want to see a ban on wild animal acts in Britain, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Roger Moore, Brian May, Moby, Imelda Staunton, Eddie Izzard, Twiggy, Annette Crosbie and Brian Blessed.
The Wild Animals in Circuses Bill was introduced on Wednesday 3rd September by Jim Fitzpatrick MP. Co-sponsors of the bill are Jim Dowd, Labour MP for Lewisham West and Penge; Roger Gale, Conservative MP for North Thanet; Philip Hollobone, Conservative MP for Kettering; Julian Huppert, Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge; Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton, Pavilion; Naomi Long, Alliance MP for Belfast East; Paul Flynn, Labour MP for Newport West; Kerry McCarthy, Labour MP for Bristol East; Dave Anderson, Labour MP for Blaydon; Hugh Bailey, Labour MP for York Central, Russell Brown, Labour MP for Dumfries and Galloway; Thomas Docherty, Labour MP for Dunfermline and West Fife.The text of the Bill is the same as the draft version published by the Government and scrutinised by a Committee of MPs last year. The second reading of the Bill will take place on Friday 5 September.
Letter from David Cameron: “While the recent Queen’s Speech did not contain the Government’s proposed Wild Animals in Circuses Bill, let me reassure you that it remains our position that the use of wild animal acts in travelling circuses is an outdated practice and that we will introduce a ban as soon as Parliamentary time allows”.

We have found over the years that a morning routine is important for us. Setting ourselves up for a great day is a choice that enhances our lives and we enjoy the process of practicing the self care rituals that make up our ideal routine. Flexibility is essential and as our moods change and we require different things in life, we adapt our routine to ensure we are getting the most from our time in the mornings.
It’s so important for us to begin the day with peace in our hearts and clarity of mind. Meditation is a wonderful way of easing the body out of the sleep state and reminding us of our potential and capacity for greatness and the opportunity to experience love in our day, before we encounter the wider world.
Before we eat or drink anything, we use an ionic toothbrush to clean the teeth and tongue, first with a light brushing using activated charcoal and then with a second brushing using Periobrite toothpaste. It is important to remove toxins from the mouth before drinking and eating and using activated charcoal to remove stains and plaque build up is highly effective. Charcoal is abrasive so caution is a must so we are always sure to brush gently.
Mornings are for hydration. We begin with a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice and water and prepare a cup of herbal tea to drink after 10 minutes of gentle rebounding on a Bellicon. After tea, we enjoy a glass or two of kombucha. We make our own with a Mortier Pilon Brewing Jar and scobies from Happy Kombucha and also enjoy the litre bottles of Karma Kombucha’s Pomegranate Boost which seems to be always fizzy in the larger size.
Rebounding is the perfect way for us to get lymph fluid moving freely throughout the body as well as clearing any blockages that create pain, fatigue and weight gain. As we are designed to work against gravity – walking upright for instance – jumping helps us thrive and supports healthy daily movement. Rebounding is a low impact exercise which causes the body little stress and engages the it on every level.
After exercising we drink our tea and get ready to shower or bathe by body brushing. Body brushing removes dead skin cells which keeps pores clear, improves circulation and aids lymphatic drainage.
Getting clean is an opportunity for us to practice mindfulness and relax before we start our day. We always use health conscious products and our favourites at the moment are Odylique Lemongrass Bodywash and Verdura Naturalternatives Soak Crystals. It is commonplace in our stressed out and overwhelmed society for people who feel disconnected and depressed to cry in the bath or shower. Taking the opportunity instead to breathe deeply and move consciously during this time allows us to practice peacefulness and a meditative mindset that leads to a clearer perspective on life and a deeper sense of wellbeing and connection.
Whilst we drink our kombucha we make a green juice. This is generally a combination of apples, celery, cucumber, kale or spinach and lemon. Part two of breakfast is usually some kind of smoothie bowl topped with granola – we love Wild Thing’s variety – superberries such as gojis, wild blueberries and incan berries, fresh fruit like kiwis, banana or papaya and superfoods.
Something that is of utmost importance during our morning is that we be sure not to get caught up in a rush mentality. We can be fast and calm. We can be efficient and peaceful. We can move quickly and enjoy our time. Our choices are a reflection of our state of mind in the moment and our ideal morning routine is designed to keep us feeling well and present.
Of course there are days we don’t have time for everything because we have chosen to sleep in or we have an early start. The most important thing for us to do on those days is not mind. A morning routine is a set of practices in place to enhance our lives, not a set of rules used to control them so if we miss a step, do less than usual or skip our routine completely, we are confident in our choices, grateful for our ability to make them and accepting of unforeseen circumstances that change our routine up even on days we have planned to enjoy it.
There is little else less conducive to experiencing wellbeing and success than self reproach, frustrated self talk and self castigation. The sole purpose of a morning routine is to connect us with the health and peace within and without and take that feeling of connection into our day. Anything other than this is unhelpful and self defeating so even when we don’t practice our routine, we refuse to get upset about it and instead choose to focus on what is going right with our morning and look forward to our day.

Variant Rules to play Sorry!
Red is Yellow's partner and Green is Blue's partner.
The regular rules apply but any partner may move on his or the partner's pawn in accordance with the card drawn.
If you land on a square occupied by a partner's pawn, then go back to its Start.
The 7 card means you may split a move among any or all eight of your team's pawns.
If you draw 1 or 2, you may enter a pawn of yourself or from your partner.
The game is won when all eight pawns are on their respective Homes.
Put only 3 of your pawns on your start space while the 4th pawn is on the circle outside your start already.
Card 8 let your pawn move 8 spaces forward or let exchange two cards (including the 8).
Use a hand of 7 cards instead of 5.
To win, you must score the most points.
All players score 5 points for each piece on Home.
All payers score 1 point when they can bump an opponent's piece back to Home.
2 points for each opponent's piece not in its Home.
10 points if no opponent has more than two pawns in its Home.
20 points if no opponent has more than one pawns in its Home.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions/comments about my fashion lately both online and in person and have been thinking about how I learned my fashion. I didn't always have a great fashion sense and realized recently that I really started after a big research project I did which elucidated what tabloid communication about Britney Spears (this was in 2008) elucidated about our society’s perception of women. I do not recommend reading these magazines but seeing and reading about how fashion worked helped me understand what colors worked well together, how to keep it simple but interesting, and what worked and didn't work about an outfit. You can easily do this by looking up pictures of fashionable outfits online. Learning anything is all about exposure.
Growing up in a lower class family “fashion” was something that seemed elusive – only for people who could afford it. But really, once I started learning what fashion was (and some of the artistic principles behind it) I was able to copy what I saw by shopping at thrift stores, H&M, and anywhere I could find a great deal. Fashion should never be the most important thing about you - but I found it truly fun and interesting and it has started a lot of great conversations that end up going much deeper than clothes.
I share this with you because a lot of students will say to me “wow I love that outfit I could never pull that off” or “I just love your clothes I wish I had style.” So I’m here to tell you that you can learn this! Because never forget you can learn anything. And the best way I’ve learned pretty much everything in my life has been to observe, ask, learn, copy what I learn has already worked for others that are successful, and then add my own unique twist as I continue to learn. You can do this with anything.
So few students are asking for help yet so many are falling behind, struggling with so many things, and even dropping out. Almost every day you should be asking someone for help or advice. Who will you ask today? Their advice could change your life. Trust me. (and if you aren’t sure who to ask start with me – advice@communitycollegesuccess.com).
I realized today after speaking at UCF to first generation students and seeing their incredible program for 1st Gen’s that at no other time in your life will people by dying to help you with your success (unless you continue to interact with me after you graduate ;) as much as they do in college. In higher ed there are so many dedicated people who have developed programs and are begging you to show up, participate, and find success in your life. Once you graduate that will be gone.
In college there are so many programs and services with the sole purpose of helping you succeed. Why aren’t you taking advantage of every single one? (e.g. career center, student life, multicultural services, free tutoring, clubs/organizations, etc.). At no other time in your life will people care so much and try so hard to help you reach your goals in life. You’ll be amazed at what happens if you just show up.

Any advice for a MEIOU&Taxes Poland game?
I feel paralized. I start in 1445, so I have a fairly familiar situation with the crusade of Varna already over. However, I have no manpower, a fuckton of vassals that will take ages to annex, Silesia is for some mysterious reason not in my culture group because apparently Lechitic is not a sub-family of West Slavic and the Silesians seemingly don't belong there, and the alliances get as absurd as in EU3, with Bohemia (which is supposedly overpowered in MEIOU) allying TO. How do I do the usual start with vassalizing TO and annexing all the vassals?
I guess your best bet is to ally the major powers around Bohemia, so Hungary, Austria, Brandenburg, maybe even Sweden (they grow so strong, so fast). The Teutonic order is way stronger in M&T than in vanilla. They have better provinces and a powerful vassal in the Livonians. In my opinion Poland is one of the harder nations to play as in MEIOU, even as AI to often seem to collide to the pressure of all the giants around them.
When the game starts, before you unpause, there are no alliances. (or at least very few) At this point you should go to war so you can get a clean war to start you off with a good step ahead. However TO is powerful in the beginning, as they have Livonian Order as a vassal.

Posted byTarisai Tara 16th Mar 2015 Leave a comment on It All Comes Down To Choices!
At one time tried to I count the number of times I have thrown litter on the ground (and had just told myself it was just one candy wrapper) and I multiplied that by 7 billion other people like me…and I realized that I had created quite a huge mess.
Be mindful of the choices you make be they negative or positive, a little yeast leaven a whole lump..
No matter the negativity around you, choose to be the change maker,if your neighbors are comfortable with littering choose to be the exception and dispose of litter properly.
If there is xenophobia around you, do not perpetuate negativity, be a agent of peace and chose to love all races, religions and cultures..

This time I want to draw your attention to this stunning and must-have sunglasses collection from Neo-Ne brand. Father & son spectacles label found by experienced craftsman S.H.Li and his son, designer Leo Li in 2013. Every single creation is a masterpiece. I am proud to share with you Neo-Ne's collection of various sunglasses designs that are not only trendy but timelessly elegant and ideal for wearing in summer and winter months.
Swing Bat design. The form of these sunnies was developed from the shape of bat. The classic eyewear shape was modified with a touch of representationalism. I love the thick wings and sharp nose bridge that give it a tough look and a nice sense of touch. The name was actually inspired by Swing Jazz in 1980s.

Aviation agencies, including Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), are unable to replace obsolete airport equipment, resurface dilapidated runways and provide other amenities to the airports, because of N45 billion debt owed by domestic airline.
Akelicious gathered that with no subvention from the federal government, these agencies depend on the revenues generated to pay salaries for their workers, execute safety critical projects and conduct training for manpower development.
With such huge debt profile, FAAN said it is finding it very difficult to replace obsolete airport equipment like airfield lighting, resurfacing of dilapidated runways and provision of other amenities to the airports.
On the part of NAMA, the agency said that it cannot source funds to install and replace old instrument landing system (ILS) at many airports, power its landing aids at various parts of the country and upgrade the skills of its technical staff.
It was gathered that part of the revenue generated by NCAA is shared by the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB), the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria and the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET).
So the debts owed the regulatory authority has affected the other agencies that render critical services to the aviation industry.
NCAA told Akelicious that the domestic airlines owe it about N12 billion and have given them till end of this year deadline to liquidate those debts or their operations would be grounded.
The debt, it was gathered, accrued from five per cent of ticket sales charge and cargo sales charge.
The Director General of the agency, Captain Muhtar Usman told Akelicious that NCAA has given the airlines a deadline of end of this year to migrate to its pay-as-you-go portal, the Aviation Revenue Automation Project (ARAP), noting that any airline that still owed would not be given start-up to operate from January 2019.
“We have discussed with the airlines; that after the end of this year they must migrate to ARAP so that these debts will stop. We don’t want any airline to owe us again. So, by January 1, 2019 we expect all of them to embrace our automatic payment system,” Usman said.
NAMA also told Akelicious that domestic airline owe the agency N5,729,099.36; while aerodromes owe it N2,388,393,043.12, making it a total of N8,117,497,142.48.
The debt incurred by airlines include en-route charges and aeronautical charges and aerodrome charges include air traffic control services rendered to most private and state airports.
The Managing Director of NAMA, Captain Fola Akinkuotu told Akelicious that these debts impinge on the agency’s operations because maintaining uninterrupted power at the airports and outposts costs NAMA huge amount of money and urged the airlines to pay off the debts.
“The people that we provide services do not pay their debts. NAMA is not an entity created to make profit; it is a cost recovery agency. Now you want us to enhance the services, you want us to provide better radios, better communication, better navigation, better surveillance, knowing that equipment over time degrades, it has to be maintained; it has to be upgraded; for us to continue to do this, we need funds.
“For us to maintain the status of the navigational aids (navaids), facilities that we have and to improve on it based on technology, how do we get the money to do that if not from the payment of the services we render? Everybody is clamouring for better radios, better navaids and so on, nobody is saying how do we fund it? So in the interest of safety, it behoves on all the people who use our services to do the least, pay,” Akinkuotu said.
Akelicious investigations revealed that the airlines owe FAAN about N25 billion, which accrued from landing and parking charges, rent, electricity, concession fees and others, which are the services provided to the airlines by the agency.
A FAAN official told Akelicious that most of the airlines owe the agency landing charges and because it does not get any subvention from government, it depends on its revenue to maintain the airport facilities, install safety critical equipment like airfield lighting, adding that the debt profile has become so huge that the agency may find it difficult to pay workers salaries.
Akelicious learnt that this year alone the total sum owed FAAN by the airlines is N3,696,639,812.12.
One airline owed the agency N1,752,485,203.68 as at July, 2018.
Akelicious gathered that some of the debts owed FAAN by airlines are mired in controversy over discrepancies on the amount owed. But the spokesman of Dana Air, Kingsley Ezenwa said that the airline pays the agency monthly, adding that whenever there is any discrepancy, it is reconciled before payments are made.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the podcast that Morgan and Shea have been waiting for. This week, the topic of the Chompcast was sports gaming. Do we like it? Is it still interesting? Getting through Josh’s groans every 12 seconds (not really), we discussed our social media polls and interactions throughout the week. The actual gameplay was a bit slim, as we sadly didn’t play much this week. Dig your veneers into this fun-filled episode by the crew of Swordchomp!

The Webster technique is a chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment of the sacrum.
As with all chiropractic adjustments, our intent is to improve the nervous system so the body can function better.
As with all sacral adjustments, pelvic balance is improved. A balanced pelvis reduces undue tension in the attached muscles and ligaments.
Although most frequently used with pregnant women, this analysis and adjustment can be used on any one!
The goal of an adjustment is to reduce interference to the nervous system and enhance normal body function for a safer, easier birth!

Inspiration can can come from many sources, whether it’s the beauty of an scene outside your window or the heartfelt comments of a friend or loved one. In my case it’s more the latter with both sources, friend and family, having a part.
My mother should get highest honors in that arena having written 2 books so far and working on her 3rd. She has sent me her rough texts to read and in the process I’ve grown to have a better understanding of her and her past. She inspires me.
My friend is an additional source having started her own blog. She has a knack for the art and although she’s only posted a few times I see a maturity and openness in her posts that give me hope for mine. She is a single mother and I’m awed with her energy.
All we can hope for is to reach others through our written word. It’s not the inspiration that challenges me, I often have that. The ideas are there, I’ve only to tap into them. It’s the dedication and determination to create another post, something that will strike a chord with others. Whether it’s the time I don’t seem to have or the energy that’s evaporated from my life I’ve become stuck again. I tell myself that retirement will cure that problem, that it will alleviate the stress that demotivates me and provide me with the time and energy that will move my writing forward. I’m optimistic, and in the end isn’t optimism part of the solution?
So I will keep posting, on a frequency that works for me now. In the upcoming months I hope to have more time and with a little luck and continued inspiration perhaps I’ll pick up the pace. I read somewhere that typically blogs will die within one month, that the blogger will run out of steam or enthusiasm and the posts will cease. I hope that will not be the case with me. It’s been just short of a year and I see no end in sight. I’ll keep you “posted”.
I’ve really fallen out of the groove lately as far as posting goes. I’ll take a minute now as I wait to go into physio.
So much for that effort, that’s as far as I got then I had to go into my appointment. Oh well, the thought was there.
Well I missed another post. That is not a good trend to get into.
Stressful day today as have been the last few. I’ve been dwelling on my having to complete the performance reviews on my staff. In the end it was not a big deal but the build up to it was wearing me down.

Thomas H. Cahill was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, in October 1868. He graduated from the College of the Holy Cross before enrolling in the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.
While at Penn, Cahill was catcher for Penn’s 1889 and 1890 baseball teams. Even though he left medical school before graduating in order to play professional ball, Cahill planned to eventually complete his medical education and become a doctor.
He made his major league debut with the Louisville Colonels on April 9, 1891. After one season, he became the manager of a professional team in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Here he died in 1894, apparently of complications from an injury.

Hi, there! I’ve missed all of you during my three-week vacation. I just got back, so I’m still on my way to update my blog . First off, I just want to thank those that have supported me and given me helpful advice through their comments. I look forward to seeing more in the future. Now, how have you been doing recently? Are you feeling contented with your life so far? Don’t worry! Even if you’re feeling like it’s deteriorating, today could be the day to get the hope to release the pain.
For healing, there is a big difference between Christianity and psychology. Psychologists try their best to fix a person’s self-image, to build up the self-confidence of the person. The healing in Christianity releases the person from the ruined power in the flesh, and transforms the mind of the person through the power of God. For me, I also agree that healing is about the work of confession and repentance. Through the work of God’s Holy Spirit, the sins deeply buried in a person will be manifested. Moreover, through the blood of Jesus Christ, sins can be cleansed and forgiven. Surely the person’s mind will eventually be renewed and healed by God’s Word. In the Bible, it says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16) This doesn’t mean we can’t pray for ourselves. As long as we come to God and pray by faith, God listens to our prayers. In this verse, “support” is important. It also emphasizes that to be healed, we must come out of isolation and hiding. This means finding a person, or ideally a group of significant others, whom we are willing to trust.
In the book “Healing the Shame that Binds You,” John Bradshaw talked about grief work, validation, and support. He said, “Perhaps the most damaging consequence of being shamed-based is that we don’t know how depressed and angry we really are. We don’t actually feel our unresolved grief. Our false selves and ego defenses keep us from experiencing.” “The greatest tragedy in all of this is that we know grief can naturally be healed if we have support. The reason people go into delayed grief is that there’s nobody there to validate and support them. You cannot grieve alone. Millions of us adult children tried it. We went to sleep crying into our pillows or locked ourselves in the bathroom.” “Delayed grief is the core of what is called post-traumatic stress disorder.” “The feelings involved in ‘grief work’ are anger, remorse, hurt, depression, sadness, and loneliness.” “Grief work is a process that may take a substantial amount of time to finish.” John Bradshaw also encouraged people to do their grief work with a qualified therapist. He even thought some people might need residential treatment.
In brief, the unresolved grief work is a re-experiencing process, liberating, and integrating your lost Inner Child. My personal healing experience was: about 17 years ago, there was a pastor who gave me a bunch of books to read talking about the dysfunctional families. He guided me to pray for God’s healing, and then I finished the major parts of grief work by myself within a couple of years. Praise the Lord! The Lord healed me. Jesus Himself was my validation and He was also my support, too.
It’s widely recognized that a child’s personality is formed by the age of four or five, certainly by six. Some people even think the age can be set as early as at three. I have ever helped a sister from the church who has suffered from vigilance for a few years. I didn’t know what childhood pain could leave her until, in conducting prayers with her, I heard her relive her hurts hour by hour, hurt by hurt. Praise the Lord! The sister has not only relieved from the tension and anxiety but also gotten out of her fantasy world and bond after the in-depth sessions of prayers. She has stopped feeling sad after one year. More joy on her face, and she looked more beautiful day by day. The beauty was coming from her inside. Jesus has healed her! Her mind has been tranformed. Her whole self ( body, mind and spirit ) has been healed. Now, you may like to know a bit about her parents, right? The sister’s parents were a very educated couple, and good Christians. However, eventually I understood her mom was dominating over her most of the time and only she always kept good performance could please her mom. Her dad had also a smattering of character disordered personality traits.
According to psychologist Gershen Kaufman in his book “Shame,” he said that depression, alienation, self-doubt, isolating loneliness, paranoid and schizoid phenomena, compulsive disorders, splitting of the self, perfectionism, a deep sense of inferiority, inadequacy or failure, the so-called borderline conditions and disorders of narcissism-all result from shame. Shame destroys self-esteem.
Maybe you’ve also noticed that some scientific evidence indicates self-hate (or low self-esteem) can play a part in everything from head colds and accident-proneness, to headaches, intestinal problems, and cancer. It’s obvious that some of the concrete scientific evidence shows the linking between disturbed emotions and illness. And, it is now also recognized that there is usually an emotional component in high blood pressure and heart attacks. Life changing events such as trouble with in-laws, death of the spouse or children, divorce, loss of a job, financial difficulties, or change in school, etc. would also predispose a person to many different forms of illness. According to some group of researchers, different kinds of illnesses triggered by life changing events could also include colds, skin disease, heart attacks and tuberculosis.
Cecit G. Osborne pointed out a case in his book “The Art of Learning to Love Yourself” talking about a lady named Jean who was dying of cancer in her mid-thirties. Jean said she couldn’t prove that there was any connection between her illness and her mother’s attitude, but she felt deep down that there was some definite relationship. Her mother always insisted that her children were perfect. However, Jean knew she wasn’t perfect, of course, and she thought this created a terrible conflict between the knowledge that she was an imperfect kid like everyone else and the goal of perfection that her mother set for her. Jean said that the goal of perfection has been an intolerable burden all her life. She felt that this conflict she had lived with so long was somehow related to her cancer.
I totally agree we must cease blaming ourselves for what we have become and to avoid any tendency to blame our parents, because nobody is perfect. Only God could assess the blame or fix responsibility. Jesus said, “For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13) We are sinners and we all need His mercy and salvation. Dear friends, if you haven’t known Jesus yet, please go to a Christian church nearby and start to know the story of the living God: God’s creation, human’s fall, Jesus’ redemption and the restoration. After you have become God’s children, you could come to Him any time by faith and ask for His guidance and healing. As for the children of God, are you ready to start the unresolved grief work today?
A) Find a quiet corner, only you and God.
B) Get ready a pen, journal; or recorder.
C) When you’re in a low mood, particularly good for doing the grief work.
D) Don’t limit the work of Holy Spirit.
Dear Lord Jesus, I’ve come to you. Please shine your light upon me. Holy Spirit, please guide me to go back to my past life, from my birth to the current, has any event happened in my life and caused my personality growing immaturely, please let it come up now. Thank God and praise the Lord. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen!
It takes time to completely calm yourself. Wait before the Lord patiently! Write it down or record it when the Lord shows anything in your mind or anything comes to your mouth. It’s the time to let your genuine emotions fully come out. Don’t think God can not stand it. God knows everything even you don’t say it. Don’t limit the work of Holy Spirit, either. God can start from any event He thinks good for you. Based on my experience, the most current event which hurt you will come out first and then it takes time to touch your core part.

Typical Brazilian woman is extremely gorgeous looking lady with great sense of taste. Brazilians like to emphasize their beauty and forms in figure, clothes, make up and different proper bright things. Brazilian women are known as the most beautiful in the world and that is approved not only by numerous beauty contests they win, but also by enormous desire of many men from different parts of the world to have Brazilian girlfriend. The reason of this hides also in mixture of genes and races, in mixture of different cultures, the result of which we can observe in Brazil. The fact Brazilian women seem exotic to numerous quantity of men in the world also attracts them.
Typical for Brazilian woman is confidence in her appearance. To explain this in simple way – they just know they are pretty and take it for granted. If you make her compliment that she has nice hips she would be thankful and proud but not offended unlike most of Western women. Women in Brazil are gorgeous because of demonstration of their femininity along with natural beauty and hot mixture of cultures. Women in Brazil care of what other people would think and (or) say of them and they are perfectionists in their appearance; this take a form or kind of competition between women in Brazil.
Brazilian women are self confident and quite independent. They like to achieve their goals. So, don’t expect to find perfect housewife in Brazil as in our times it is not popular trend here. The times when woman in Brazilian family was the carrier of “home fire” and the husband was “the getter” have passed by and new trends and social behavior came instead. It is popular in Brazil to hire a housekeeper who would do all the house work like cleaning, cooking and doing laundry and wife will have time for work and self improvement. Read also: Women in Brazil – what are they like?
Brazilian girls are open to people and easy to start contact with, but it does not mean they are easy targets to local men as well as to foreigners. Brazilian girls like to communicate, spend time with friends and they have a lot of male and female friends. It is common in Brazil to kiss when you meet a friend so don’t be affected by this, or jealous, or disappointed if you have Brazilian girlfriend. It is also common for Brazilian girl to start conversation with you first, if she liked you in public place like bar or night club; Brazilian girl can come and ask you for a drink to start talking with you. But if you behave in rude way and hint her for intimacy, she will immediately show you “the right place of yours”. Besides being friendly and open to people, having no complexes, Brazilian women are independent and know what they want.
If you want to conquer the heart of Brazilian lady, during every date, no matter is it the first date or the seventh, present her flowers. Women in Brazil adore flowers. Other wooing features and tips are also old-school or old-style and you can ask Brazilian girl for dinner bringing her to expensive restaurant with gourmet dishes and aristocratic atmosphere – she will definitely evaluate this very highly and that you are serious about her.
Typical Brazilian woman is very family oriented. It does not mean only close family like father and mom with numerous sisters and brothers, it is also numerous aunts and uncles, cousins and other relatives – so if you have Brazilian girlfriend you will have to get acquainted with them as in Brazilian culture it is almost a compulsory. Close relations with family are based on religion, culture, life style (Brazilians get married usually after 25 and before they live with the family) and support that EVERY member of the family is ready to give to the other family member who is in need.

New Delhi, April 2 (IANS) The Lok Sabha was informed on Monday that the Centre has filed a review petition over the Supreme Court's order for the dilution of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
Amid protests and din in the Lower House, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the SC/ST Act was an important issue which the opposition wanted to discuss in the debate on the no confidence motion.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar informed the House that a review petition has been filed by the government.
"I want to assure that the Modi government is 100 per cent on the side of the Scheduled Castes..." Kumar said amid a ruckus.
"We have already filed a review petition," he added.
On March 20, the Supreme Court ruled that the arrest of an accused under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act was not mandatory and recourse to coercive action would be only after a preliminary inquiry and sanction by the competent authority.
There was no "absolute bar against grant of anticipatory bail in cases under the Atrocities Act if no prima facie case is made out or where on judicial scrutiny the complaint is found to be prima facie mala fide", the apex court added.

But that’s just the thing. It is an outlet. Your best friend is an outlet. Your coworker is an outlet. But just because you have an “outlet” doesn’t mean it’s the healthiest one and, two, your venting may not be actually getting you help.
PLEASE NOTE: Momentary relief is no substitution for deep lasting health.
This blog isn’t here to beat you up. It’s here to encourage you to get help…the right help. Much of the venting I’ve been privy to has been an excuse to “unload” displeasure about other people instead of going to the person. In the name of “venting,” proper healthy conflict is avoided and a septic inner attitude or mindset is facilitated. It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to get healthy.
1 – Am I wanting Godly PERSPECTIVE or just an opportunity to PERPETUATE the issue?
Do you avail yourself with what God’s Word may say to the situation? I’m convinced that, if people who came to me to “vent” started with the Word, conservatively speaking, ¾ of my appointments would cancel on me. I have learned that a majority of Christians won’t check the scriptures because either, first, they already know what it’s gonna say, and second, you don’t want to do it. The other portion doesn’t know and/or needs direction on how to practically do it. And for that, I’m glad to help.
2 – Am I willing move into healthy ACTIONS or sit in ASSUMPTION?
So much of venting results from stewing over something and coming upon conclusions that may or may not be reality. Thus, venting can be constant spillover of issues that are being ignited by assumption with little to no healthy actions.
Why does the Hebrew writer tell us to, “Fix your mind on Jesus…” (Hebrews 12:2)? Because of the example of Christ. He didn’t sit in assumption over our sinful condition as to wonder why we are doing what we are doing and/or what the heck we are thinking when we do what we do. He joyfully stepped forward in action. Joy isn’t found in the situation (can’t say the cross was a fun thing to endure). Joy is found in the presence of God. And His presence and His example propels us to fixate upon Him and the health he wants to bring. He gives us a perspective of what needs to be done as opposed to what might be going on.
3 – Is my goal to END the story or RETELL it?
Do you want to see resolution or are you just wanting to rehash it? What is your goal? Refusing to take appropriate steps forward by unhealthy venting is like scratching a rash thinking it’s going to solve something when, in reality, it’s spreading it.
So many people are used to venting a story that has, in essence, become the identity they live by. They’re a constant victim. It’s time to lay down the story and begin one new in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old has gone and a new ‘story’ has begun.” Continuing a story can continue an identity. Start a new identity in Christ and, thus, a new story.
4 – Do I want to RESOURCE healing or am I looking to REPRODUCE I’m experiencing?
Go with a humble heart. Be open to the fact that you could be wrong about the person and/or the entire situation.
Check your tones and mannerisms.
Be ready to be the first to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
Go into it go get a HEALTHY result and not necessarily your DESIRED result.
Resolving conflict biblically doesn’t always mean you get your way OR that you win.
5 – Am I looking to PROCESS or am I looking to UNLOAD?
This is where the real help comes in. Unloading feels good for a moment. I’ll admit, getting something off my chest has the sensation of relief. But stopping right there leaves you feeling lighter, but also empty. On top of that, most people are ready to fill the newly discovered relief/ emptiness with the same substance they had been carrying before. Having Godly counsel and wisdom spoken into your frustration properly processes the issues of the heart to become a foundation of health and vitality.
Do more than look for someone to help unload what you are carrying? Those people are easy to find (and sometimes eager to be involved in your business).
Who will approach the situation objectively and confidentially.
Who loves you enough to say the tough things (even what you don’t want to hear).
3 – Get Godly counsel. “Who can help me process this instead of helping me unload?

An anti-bacterial gel with 3-in-1 formulation (Scar Clear Benefits) that is specialized in treating dark post acne marks and depressed scars, as well as reducing inflammation and infection to counteract acne occurrence. It is clinically proven to improve post acne marks and scars, and results can be seen in just 4 weeks! What's more, it can be used under makeup!
This is my all-time favorite product that I use to treat my post acne marks. It is also the most effective treatment in my opinion.
A day and night whitening balm, formulated with Madecassoside (skin healing agent), Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress extracts, that helps to soothe and lighten post acne marks. It is clinically proven non-comedogenic.
I used this before Hiruscar Post Acne Gel was released and it used to be my holy grail. It does soothe redness and lighten post acne marks. The only thing I dislike about this product is that it leaves a layer of residue that may interfere with makeup application. So if you wear makeup, I wouldn't recommend to apply it in the day.
An ampoule-essence combination, consists of concentrated tangerine essence extract, that brightens dull and uneven skin tone, diminishes dark spots and smooth out pore texture to deliver a fairer and glowing complexion.
To be honest, I have yet to try it on acne marks. I have only tried it on my aunt's freckles (which are harder to fade than acne marks) and it did an amazing job in fading dark freckles. Therefore, I believe it will help in lightening acne marks too.
It is formulated with natural ingredients like Milk Protein Peptide, Selenium and Vitamin E; it not only helps to reduce acne and inflammation, but it also helps to lighten post acne marks and scars. It is designed to give internal defence against outbreaks and balance oil secretion, giving the most natural and effective solution to regain clear and smooth skin.
This is a supplement that treats acne problems from the inside out. I bought two boxes and have already finished a box. So far, I noticed my acne outbreaks have reduced and my post acne marks from my previous outbreak have lightened as well — it does what it claimed to do. I will write a detailed review and post it on my blog after I have finished the second box. So stay tuned if you'd like to know more about this product.
So these are my four picks that I discovered they live up to their claims of treating post acne marks and scars. If you are giving any of these a try, do let me know how it goes for you.

Effects of probiotics pulse-supplementation on cobia were assessed over two experimental trials carried out with larval and juvenile stages using a commercial blend of Bacillus subtilis, B. lincheniformis, B. magaterium, and Brevibacillus laterosporus. The first trial evaluated the effects of probiotic-enriched live feeds (7x106 and 10x106 colony-forming units (CFU) L-1 for rotifers and Artemia sp., respectively) on the growth and survival of fingerlings during a commercial larval rearing run. The second trial assessed the effects of probiotics supplementation in dry feeds (109 CFU kg-1) on the survival, growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), ammonia excretion of cobia juveniles (58 g to 216 g) and key metabolites measured in whole digestive systems. Results from both experiments showed no significant differences between control and probiotics groups in any of the measured variables, suggesting that pulsed-probiotic supplementation under the present conditions did not affect cobia aquaculture performance. Gas chromatography (GC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) results evidenced similar profiles between groups for fatty acids and cations, respectively, whereas no values were detected for organic acids of low molecular weight. With regard to the free amino acid profiles, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assessments revealed a similar amino acid composition for both experimental groups in each pulse period. However, the concentration of each amino acid increased over time in the supplementation group, whereas the control group showed an opposite tendency. The total free amino acid concentration (ppm) at the end of the experiment was 1.5 and 2.8 times higher than in the control group, as evidenced by spectrophotometry and HPLC analysis, respectively. This increased concentration could be related to higher free amino acid availability from food hydrolysis modulated by probiotics; however, this increment had a negligible effect on feed conversion and growth. With regards to yellowfin tuna, the effects of probiotics and 1-monoglycerides supplementation on the larval growth and survival at 10 DPH, a common age of acute mortality largely due to nutritional deficiencies, was studied. Two probiotic trials (carried out at different stocking density and different probiotic inclusion) and one trial with 1-monoglycerides were performed. The higher probiotic supplementation (40x106 CFU L-1; Trial 2) yielded a significantly higher total length in the supplementation group with respect to the control in 10 DPH YFT larvae, with no significant differences in survival between groups for both trials. In the case of 1-monoglycerides, no significant differences were found in both variables either, although the supplementation group yielded a two-fold increase in survival compared to the control group, and overall, had higher and less variable values. Probiotics might have assisted digestive processes of the rudimentary digestive system of pre-flexion larvae, whereas 1-monoglycerides might have contributed as additional energy sources, both enabling higher larval nutrient uptake and growth.

To find out whether you are infected with the hepatitis C virus, your healthcare provider will ask questions about your health. He or she may also try to figure out how long you have been infected with hepatitis C. This may involve questions that seem personal. It’s important to answer honestly. You should also mention any symptoms that concern you. To test for hepatitis C, your blood is taken. A physical exam and certain tests help check for liver damage.
ALT. This is a liver enzyme. Blood may have more ALT if the liver has been damaged.
Anti-HCV. The body tries to fight hepatitis C by making an antibody called anti-HCV. This substance is found in the blood and indicates exposure to hepatitis C.
Genotype. There are 6 hepatitis C genotypes. A blood test can reveal which genotype you have. This will affect the type of treatment.
HCV RNA. Some tests can show pieces of hepatitis C in infected blood and confirm that you are currently infected.
CT scan. This is a type of specialized X-ray that shows a detailed picture of the liver by producing cross-sectional images.
Fibrosis panel. This blood test can help determine how severe the liver disease is.
Liver biopsy. During biopsy, a needle is used to take a small sample of tissue from the liver. The sample is then viewed under a microscope to look for inflammation and the amount of scar tissue.
MRI scan. This is a scan where strong magnetic fields and radio waves make images of the liver and blood vessels without the use of X-rays.
Ultrasound. This test uses painless sound waves to create a picture of the liver. It can roughly stage your liver disease. Your spleen size and portal vein size should be measured with each exam. The exam should take at least 20 minutes to make sure you have the correct number of images of the liver.
Hepatitis C infection can be more dangerous if you are also infected with certain other viruses. Your healthcare provider may test you for HIV and other types of hepatitis, such as types A and B. If you have not had hepatitis A or B, you may be given vaccines to protect you from getting them in the future.

Where are all the MPs with PhDs?
The following opinion piece by E4D Executive Director Katie Gibbs appeared in iPolitics on November 17th 2013.
Is it time for scientists to leave the lab and enter the political fray?
Please join us for Art for Impact's REDACTED workshop this coming Sunday, November 17th from 3pm-5pm at 3426 Smith Avenue (Tian Jin Temple).
This FREE workshop is an opportunity to explore art for social change through issues surrounding censorship. What does art, activism and, government censorship of science have in common? Come find out! We are very excited to have keynote speaker Pamela Zevit from Evidence for Democracy, facilitate this powerful conversation.
Food will be served. Fun will be had. Meet and greet a flock of other creative minds!
E4D’s Executive Director, Katie Gibbs, will be speaking at Media Democracy Days (http://mddottawa.ca/) in Ottawa. Talk starts at 1:30pm in Lamoureux Hall (145 Jean-Jacques Lussier) room 242.
Get Science Right event in Halifax hosted by the CAUT. Event starts at 7pm at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
This letter to the editor from E4D's Executive Director was published in the Hill Times today: Contrary to the scenario that Mel Cappe’s comments suggest in last weeks article on communication policies for government scientists (The Hill Times, Oct. 28, pg. 41), the documented cases of government scientists being prohibited from talking to the media are not cases of scientists trying to “go public” with information or “go out and embarrass the government” over policy decisions they did not like. In many of the most notable instances, the government scientists in question (e.g. Kristi Miller, Scott Dallimore, David Tarasick) were not permitted to do interviews to discuss their peer-reviewed research that had already been published in internationally renowned scientific journals.
A report released today by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) based on a survey of federal scientists indicates that many believe censoring and suppression of publicly-funded science is widespread. These results provide additional evidence for concerns about the muzzling of federal scientists, and highlight the need for new less restrictive communication policies.

← Coming soon to Portland – (Therio)shamanic Services!
I hope you don’t mind, I am going posting some excerpts and link back on my own blog.
I totally agree with this. The very concept of wild (non-domesticated) land as being “untouched” or by humans perpetuates this disconnection. What about the humans who lived there for thousands of years before the colonizer culture killed them and forced them off?
I may be misunderstanding what you mean by this, but I think I disagree with this. To indigenous cultures, if a person wants to be away from other humans, they don’t build themselves a house of their own, or a separate room in their house, they just walk out on the land in any direction. And going out alone on the land is a fundamental part of many cultures’ initiation ceremonies, and is a common method used to open to the spirit world to receive guidance or insight. Going out onto the land to be away from other humans does not in any way, in and of itself, deprive other people from doing the same (I don’t understand your logic here).
I guess the point of this is that I totally agree that we need to relate our shamanism to the rest of our lives, in a fundamental way. Our spiritual paths (and powers) should be used in service to a greater purpose, that is relevant to our lives and the world we live in.
For me, that greater purpose is clear – to defend the earth and its people (all those who love the earth and who stand to defend her, human and non-human) against the insane destructiveness of the dominant culture – industrial civilization. For me, “nature” and “the wilderness” isn’t a tool I use for my shamanism, rather it is the community of life that my shamanism exists to serve.
Going out alone is one thing. What I was critiquing was the idea that humans don’t belong in Nature, or at least the vast majority don’t, that we are no longer natural beings but intruders. The focus in the attitude I brought up wasn’t solitude, but escape.
Not everyone has the same focus on humanity, true. Each person has to determine what communities they serve, human and otherwise. However, if we forsake our own species entirely, then we are neglecting a huge part of the equation, if for no other reason than one must engage with humans to get us to change our ways. Additionally, what constitutes attacking the land? Everything from driving a car to eating meat to using a computer can be seen as an attack according to someone. And, too, acting toward someone as though they are “attacking” is not likely to make them receptive to change; putting people on the defensive is counterproductive.
I do agree there is great value in those who are more canted toward wilderness as community, especially as so many have lost that connection and would benefit very greatly from relearning it. I just don’t see where detaching entirely from any area of shamanic focus–humanity, wilderness, spirits, etc.–is recommended, and unfortunately what I see is a lot of imbalance that ends up doing more harm than good.
When I started actually walking the shamanic path I founda book: Shapeshifting: Techniques for Global and Personal Transformation. It, really made me think about applying the skills and path I was learning not just at the local level, but macro one as well. I would say that some of the gifts of a shaman is being able to work in multiple levels at once, still moving toward a goal, as well as being able to bring the macro to the micro, and vice versa. While not every little thing I do, teach, or encourage will show immediate results, they are steps in the right direction to encourage direct change in the problems we face. While I think it is very good to focus on the big picture, go for big changes and the like, the anti-nuclear proliferation movement started small then was able to get big.
Similarly, Rosa Parks started off the preceding 12 years before her stand on the bus working with the local chapter of the NAACP, learning how to take stands, and attending workshops and seminars from civil rights activists. All of our biggest upsets started from small trickles, and developed into crashing waves. Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle started people thinking about how their food was handled, and in no small part, it helped contribute to the founding of the USDA and FDA. The smallest things can start great revolutions. So while I appreciate the idea of going large with our work as shamans, sometimes the best thing we can do, for the micro and macro, is encourage the little victories and revelations so the way can be paved for the big ones.
Agreed. It is interesting you mentioned Peruvian shamanism in application to modern life: I know Peruvian shamans here in Michigan who are doing just that. Because there aren’t what the Peruvians would call mountains out here, at least in the Lower Peninsula, some have started to treat the Great Lakes as our kind of mountain spirits.
In my own practice, I’m a Northern Tradition shaman, and I work with landvaettir and my Gods in the context of where I live. I’d have a damned hard time trying to somehow have ayahuasca relate to the places around me, but tobacco, sage, and mugwort, meanwhile, does. Not only do all three grow well here, but the offerings I give of these plants makes sense in the context of where I live, where my Ancestors come from (who are mostly the ones who get tobacco offerings), and what the landvaettir have told me they like as offerings.
Divorcing ourselves from Nature gives us permission to act as we will within It, or without It rather than living in concert with It. If we’re not ‘of’ Nature, then whether we’re wiping out other species or wiping ourselves out in ‘defense of Nature’ is pretty morally ambiguous. Something that Chosen by the Spirits made me think about was how the shaman in their culture exists to balance. Shi makes sure the people are neither too much of something or another thing, such as neither too happy nor too sad. Perhaps this is the role that shamans can serve: helping people reconnect to Nature, inside and out, while facilitating better relationships between them.
I haven’t actually run into the problems you’ve mentioned in this section from those who are actually diagnosed mentally ill. If anything, those who have had mental illness, in my little experience of interacting with them, tend to discard what I might take as a clue or hint, such as the Gods poking me in a direction, or direct communication. Some might have deep bouts of doubt if it comes to anything BUT consensus, physical, defined realities. I’m not calling myself better than them in the slightest; skepticism is a very good thing. I’m also not about to say that every time I followed up on one of these ‘hits’ that it turns out well. Sometimes I just have heard sock puppets in my head, other times I misheard but would have been on the money. It is part of why I tend to divine quite a bit on what I think I hear, run it by other people, and do a good deal of reflection.
Very true, and I agree with you that this means not engaging with people who DO directly threaten us.
Thanks for writing this. It’s an excellent post, and it will hopefully push people to think on how they interact with the world around them. Engaging the whole of the world around you is part of being a shaman, and us humans are part of it.
Admittedly I’m heavily focused on the human and social elements of shamanic practice right now–not surprising given that I just spent the past three years being trained in counseling. I do agree that the small steps do matter–they’re the building blocks for bigger things, and I’m glad you brought that up.
In a way, i think also divorcing ourselves from humanity makes us feel as though we have no responsibility toward it, which is a shame, because if we are the poisoned well as so many think, then what good is it to let the poison become more fetid through suffering?
If you want examples of “mental illness = shamanism”, look up the Icarus Project sometime. From what I’ve seen of the relevant essays on their site, the shamanism bit seems to be mental illness = bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia = SHAMANISM! I would love to see how they explain how a client who has spent the past two decades self-medicating for a severe anxiety disorder with methamphetamine that they pay for through theft, and who is completely incapable of safe, independent living, is really just a misunderstood spirit worker. If a person with a mental illness/condition/difference/etc. can make their lives genuinely better with shamanic practice, great. I am all for people getting better without making other things unnecessarily worse. But mental illness is not shamanism, and people in indigenous cultures know the difference as well as anyone else.
Thanks, Lupa. I’m glad it was brought up to me! A lot of time when I used to look at activist movements, it was as though they sprang out of nothing. Hearing those stories helped me a lot, both as a person, and as the member of the communities of concerned citizens, the activists, these movements depend on. It makes the steps so much more human when they’re broken down, instead of some far-off goal where you need to know everything right now about your cause, activism, etc.
I think that it is good you’re narrowing your focus. I know that my own practice, until recently, suffered because of a lack of focus. While I felt being called by this God and that spirit hither and yon, letting myself be pulled in more directions than I needed to go didn’t help myself, my practice, or the people in my community who need me. For me, this has been dropping the idea that as a shaman I need to know every little thing. I don’t know herbs very well, for instance. While I am trying to learn more about them, bit by bit, it’s not with the same kind of “KNOW ALL THE HERBS!” zeal I had.
I think that divorcing yourself from humanity is pretty antithetical to shamanism. Unless you’re doing purification or initiation work, I don’t know of many other instances in which separation from other humans is practiced. Helping people in my communities is pretty central to my own practice. Sure, some the training for that may be done in isolation, but it can equally need to be done with people. Even if not all your human clients aren’t flesh-and-blood anymore, or even human, it still requires ‘people’ that you work with, and that work with you. Some of my work involves the Dead, and some of it involves the living. What I am finding more and more, is that it doesn’t matter how you do your work, no shaman can work in a vacuum. There are always spirits to work with, encased in human flesh or not.
I guess this is where I have some questions: at what point can we say that mental illness can function as shamanic sickness, propelling the would-be shaman into their role, and when is it only mental illness? How do modern-day shamans develop methods of differentiating? It’s one thing to say that shamans of tribes and long-tradition ethnic groups know how…but I suppose it will be a challenge that has to eventually face shamans not in those situations.
*nods* These are good things to chew on further; I appreciate that you ofer your own responses to what I write, even if I don’t always have something to reply with in return.
Sarenth – I don’t want to see the lines blurred between mental illness and spirit work. I think that a lot of the construction of shamanism as mental illness arose from the Soviet anthropologists who were trying to wipe out shamanic practices to begin with. These assessments were picked up without any real analysis by western anthropologists, and then by more casual readers who thought, like the guy at my talk on geilt and filidecht, that to be a spirit worker meant you had to be crazy.
You can separate the spirit workers, some of whom might also have a mental illness of some sort, from the mentally ill who are not spirit workers by this simple criteria — is the spirit work they are doing helping them to be more functional, or are they dealing in delusion and remaining nonfunctional? I’m not talking about “do they have a day job,” I’m talking about can they hold a clear conversation, do they help other people, can they cope with day to day life well enough to feed and clothe themselves, can they maintain normal human relationships? If they are not able to do so, we are probably looking at mental illness, not spirit work.
Ah, always cool to see someone referencing one of John Perkins’s books. I still cite The World is as you dream it as a big influence on me looking at shamanism over a decade ago.
I’ve seen so much of the behavior you’re talking about here. I know people who want to go out into “wilderness” to do spiritual work and who also deeply resent anyone else being out there while they are. It’s as though the place should be empty of anyone else except them, and no one else deserves or has the right to be in that park or on that trail or in that campground or at that seaside but them. While I certainly understand the desire to do ritual in a space where one won’t be interrupted, to resent others for wanting to be out in the wild *just like we do* seems distinctly uncharitable and totally counterproductive if we’re wanting others to get in touch with, to love, and to wish to preserve that same wild space.
And, as someone living with mental illness (medicated and generally under control most of the time), the reification of mental illness as shamanism or spirit work bothers me deeply. One year at PCon I did a talk on filidecht, touching upon the geilt phenomenon, and there was someone who walked away from my talk with the throughly wrong idea that to be a spirit worker you had to be crazy. It was exactly *not* what I was getting at, but there are people who will look for anything to excuse their inability to deal with consensus reality.
What you’re saying here is deep and necessary and challenging to so many paradigms that people in Pagan and other communities espouse. Your discussion of the search for the exotic, to the neglect of what’s right here under our feet, seems to be a particular temptation for some forms of reconstructionist spiritualities — there is a desire to go back to “old ways” that don’t necessarily mesh well with the places we live (if those places are not the native lands of those cultures), and to condemn people who depart from “the lore” enough to try to make a comfortable fit with the land we actually live on. That process is almost inevitably going to involve some kind of syncretism and some kind of negotiating process with the spirits of the land and the deities who dwell here. Some people are profoundly uncomfortable with this. It’s relatively easy to bring the deities to new places — unless they are particularly linked to a specific river or mountain, for instance — and our ancestors are who they are, no matter where they’re buried or if they’re related to us by descent. On the animist level of dealing with land spirits, however, we have to adjust and we have to be flexible. We have to recognize and acknowledge that the ways of a particular culture may not work well with the land we live on, and find ways to inhabit our own places.
At any rate, thanks for talking about this. More people should be thinking about these things.
No problem. My realization of that first point actually came from a similar comment you made a while back, so thank you for that.
I also really appreciate your place as “professional madwoman”; you have a good balance of the different factors in that, and you’re honest about the downsides as well as the benefits.
I feel that too many neopagans, neoshamans, etc. feel ashamed of where they’re from or who they are. I want to change that, because romanticizing someone else does everyone a disservice.
It’s hard not to be sympathetic with your frustrations in regard to the state of the world, but I am utterly nonplussed with the idea that somehow they justify some reshaping of shamanism, neo or otherwise.
I don’t think you really get shamanism if you think it is primarily about one-to-one relations. Most ‘traditional’ shamans operate at the communal level, with rituals and advice that is geared to communal operations.
The one-to-one dimensions of it primarily occur within neoshamanic approaches, which I would dare say is exactly the sort of adaptation to its local environment that you desire to see more of. I would suggest that, for good or for ill, a lot of people in the U.S. are more comfortable with the idea of doing ayahuasca than they are with the idea that their personal healing demands fixing their relationship with the people around them, renegotiating them.
You have also strained the term shaman past the breaking point when you assign to it roles like social outreach or as a bridge between their society and another. Shamans don’t tend to do those sorts of things. It isn’t part of their ‘job.’ That you find this important is great, but that you are demanding shamans do this because it is what they are supposed to do has me thinking that you are projecting your personal shifts in priorities onto shamanism itself.
Shamanic practice might be the sort of thing that could be used to bolster and strengthen someone, like yourself, who is engaging with this work, but it isn’t identical with it. Some people don’t even need shamanism, but they might need a counselor or social worker. Shamanism is one tool, one modality, it isn’t the entire spectrum.
Traditional shamanisms are communal, yes, and don’t involve some of the elements I mention. However, this is not a traditional society, and the parameters are very different; here, it’s much more individualistic, for example, and so in order to meet people where they’re coming from, as well as be true to my own conditioning, there is more of a person to person approach, at least initially. My goal is to rethink shamanism for the culture I am a part of, which sometimes means breaking the rules and rewriting definitions. Is it a perfect system? Of course not. This is a blog of continued exploration, and always has been.
I think you and I definitely disagree on the basic definition of shamanism. Mine tends to be high functional–what is the *purpose* of a shaman, and how is that purpose manifested in each culture and its needs? How do you define it, if I may ask?
I’ve found that just because people don’t want to do a thing doesn’t mean that it isn’t a necessary thing. With almost seven billion of us on the planet, we really do have to start (if we have not already) negotiating our relationships with others and learning to live more harmoniously and to heal large chunks of what is broken in both us and in our society. I know this isn’t the larger point of your post, but I did feel it necessary to respond to this aspect of it.
Just going to second this all the way.
Thank you for this deeply personal, thoughtful post. I sat with it for a couple of days before feeling moved to cite you, and respond at length in my blog. Your thoughts deserve a wide audience.
I’ve been trying for days to think of something profound to say here, but all I can say is this: I hope a lot of people see this essay and take the words to heart and do some serious self-examination.

How I teach myself new digital content skills using cake!
Our blog manager here at Firehead is Fiona Cullinan, who jumped from print journalism in 2000 to become a freelance digital editor and producer. Here she explains how she keeps her training current in the digital space with no employer to fund her development and little budget to play with.
As a long-time freelancer, I rarely receive any official training so I’ve become used to taking responsibility for my own personal development. In the past, this has mostly involved buying the latest content industry books and manuals, and even occasionally reading them.
Now it involves cake and something I’ve named Friday School.
Here is my book shelf. Counting up I have read precisely four of them. This is not good, considering the financial outlay.
The truth is, I’m finding books harder and harder to read. My work in the digital world has shrunk my attention span right down, I’m finding it slightly weird to learn about interactive subjects from words printed on a page and when I do have time to read I want to relax with Haruki Murakami’s latest – not a textbook.
Every January, I check my photographer friend Karen Strunks’ blog because she always has inspiring new year resolutions and approaches for me to nick be inspired by.
This year, she even put her goals into a personal infographic (right).
She also happened to be testing out a new tool called Workflowy to help get herself organised – and I clicked with it immediately I guess because it works in the same the way that my brain does.
I write lists all the time, usually in a Word doc or in a client notebook, so nothing gets lost or forgotten. Workflowy is like a ‘lists with benefits’ app.
Not only does it let you create lists and endless sublists, but you can tag the tasks by priority or date (using hashtags) and assign the work using the @name function. Best of all, you can share and collaborate on a list and export it for use with other programmes.
Below is an example of the opened up folder on ‘Programming’. The headings are taken from a currently free ebook-in-progress by a journalist called the Bastards Book of Ruby – an amazing free resource. Knowing how to code is something that is going to help me on a number of fronts and help to break down the technical brick wall I keep banging my head against.
Another useful thing to note about Workflowy here is that pasting in any links automatically turns them into hyperlinks, so you can use it as a place to keep essential reads.
Then I discovered the hashtag function. I picked some elements from each section and added the hashtag #january. Clicking on the hashtag brings up the work for that month. As you can see, I nearly made it through my list, but there is no pressure – I’ll just retag anything I can’t fit in into #february’s work.
So where does the cake come in?
Learning must be fun or I know I won’t do it. So every Friday, for half a day, I take myself off to a café with wifi, treat myself to brunch, lunch and/or coffee and cake, and sit down to learn.
Last week I had a lovely chilli halloumi wrap as I created my first bit of computer code. The week before it was Victoria sponge over ‘The 7 Jedi mind tricks for creating compelling digital video content’ – a presentation from September’s Content Marketing World post-conference content offer (which I blew my annual books budget on but looks worth it, especially when I looked at the cost of flying to the US to attend the actual event).
The best part of the Google SEO guide. No snake oil just straightforward ways to make sure content is findable by readers.
Results-driven corporate blogging and how much it overlaps with my old journalism skills.
Digital video content tricks to take my video efforts to the next level.
Storytelling techniques from Hollywood to make my posts more engaging.
My first bit of coding using Ruby.
February will pretty much be a continuation. And thanks to the café set-up I’m really looking forward to both the learning – and the food.
If the Hollywood storytelling technique I learnt about in January works, then Friday School will involve a personal journey. Act 1 means leaving behind the world of books that I know and gathering some sages/friends to help along the way (Workflowy tool, café, online resources).
In Act 2, the learning adventure starts – over some cake. And in Act 3, there will be a big ordeal or monster to overcome – struggling with coding is a likely one, or the motivation to keep going, or taking the Google Conversion University exam for web analytics.
But the hero always returns older and wiser to their world – and in this case, probably a few pounds heavier – seeing the world with new eyes and aware of new possibilities.
Learning can be transformative to a person and to a career – so how do you manage yours?
Fiona works as a digital content editor and producer for Firehead and other clients. She is based in the UK and can be found at fionacullinan.com or on Twitter @fionacullinan.
Which digital skills are in demand in 2012 (and which are hardest to recruit for)?
Glad to hear workflowy is working out for you. I really love it’s simplicity, and yet at the same time, it incredibly useful for keeping track and getting things done.
And now I am signed up for Workflowy! Thanks for tip.
I sympathize with you about the books. I bought a slew at one go and then I have friends who write books. I blame them for the backlog. I put them all on GoodReads to keep track of them. Frankly, I forgot I had some, so GoodReads is one way to keep track of them. And I give them reviews to help me remember highlights – and to share tips with others.
Of course, Workflowy could also help you keep track of the books, and then you can throw them onto GoodReads (or Shelfari, etc.) when you are finished.
I fear signing up to GoodReads – it’ll just make me find more books! I took a decision in Jan to NOT buy any more work books due to the backlog. But I have stuck a list of them in Workflowy and they are on the ‘to read’ list, probably on a long commute.
I forgot to mention, I’m also keeping notes on my Friday School modules and I’m going to treat myself to a good old-fashioned ringbinder soon.
PS. My favourite thing about Workflowy is crossing stuff off it.
Heh. For the first time in years, I have made a commitment to NOT buying new books.
In fact, I need to *reduce* the amount of info coming in, so it’s manageable!

Ok, friends. We are due to expand the family unit in February, and coming up with names for the hatchling is proving to be harder the second time around. We go with Persian names because of my wife's religion (American Bahai's tend to give their children Persian names). So here are some Persian boy and girl names. Pick a couple, and post them here if you'd care to help.
Halazun wouldn't be too bad, but it means slug, and Marz said no.
Ack! I was finding nice ones on every screen!
I've always been partial to Leila, as well as Aziz/Aziza, and Hassan.
They are also names that most ignorant American teachers don't tend to butcher in pronunciation.
List of names that would casue the child trama in school.
Girls: I like Rasha - I think it is a beautiful name, and all the Raja's I have known ahve been smart beautiful women.
Here is another suggestion that is not Persian, but Bangali. A friend of mine is named Intez and I have always liked the name. I think it sounds neat.
I like Laleh for a girl and Faraj for a boy.
I like the meaning behind Jabbareh for a girl. Strong, firm.

If the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle is insufficient then the wheels may slip when braking. If slipping is detected, a control system may reduce the brake pressure to permit a controlled level of slip and so to optimize the braking force for the available adhesion. By determining the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder, a signal may be obtained which indicates the value of the adhesion. Alternatively the adhesion may be monitored by detecting any discrepancy between the braking deceleration demanded by the driver and the observed deceleration. The adhesion signal may activate a warning. It may also be used to adjust the rate at which sand is supplied by a sander to the wheel/rail interface. The rate at which sand is supplied may also be adjusted in accordance with other parameters such as the train speed.
This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle on a railway track, and for enhancing that adhesion.
If the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle is insufficient, then the wheels may slip when the vehicle attempts to accelerate or to brake. This has been a recognised problem for many years, and the application of sand onto the rails has long been used to enhance adhesion. The sand may be applied manually, or it may be supplied using compressed air, for example in response to a measured value of the deceleration of the wheels (as in GB 1 349 145 (Girling)). It has also been suggested, in EP 0 217 636 (Mitsubishi), that the quantity of sand particles dispensed may be adjusted in accordance with the speed of the vehicle. An alternative way of dealing with this problem during braking is to monitor both vehicle speed and wheel speeds, and if slipping is detected to reduce the brake pressure, for example to permit a controlled level of slip; for example the wheels might be allowed to slip so that they turn at a rate say 10 or 15 percent less than that corresponding to the vehicle's speed. Such wheel slide protection systems are currently in use. Controlled slipping of the wheels optimises the braking force, and also tends to remove contamination from the rail head.
According to the present invention there is provided a method for determining the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle, the method comprising monitoring operation of the braking system when the brakes are applied, and hence determining the value of the adhesion.
In one embodiment the vehicle incorporates an accelerometer, and the method comprises comparing the deceleration measured by the accelerometer to the deceleration demanded by the driver, and determining from any discrepancy between those values of deceleration the value of the adhesion. In an alternative embodiment the vehicle incorporates a wheel slide protection system which modulates the pressure in a brake cylinder in response to detection of wheel slip, and the method comprises determining the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder, and determining from that pressure the value of the adhesion.
The value of adhesion may be indicated to the driver of the vehicle. If exceptionally low adhesion is identified in this way, a warning message may be transmitted to other vehicles on the line, and to signalling staff. Where the method involves determining the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder, the pressure may be measured, or alternatively may be calculated, for example by a computer in the wheel slide protection system.
The present invention also provides a method for enhancing the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle by applying adhesion-enhancing particles to the wheel/rail interface at a rate which is adjusted in accordance with the value of the adhesion so determined.
The adhesion-enhancing particles may be particles of sand or quartz or other suitable material and may be supplied dry, using compressed air. The rate at which the particles are supplied may also be adjusted in accordance with other measured values, in particular the vehicle's speed, and preferably also the vehicle's deceleration. Furthermore the rate at which particles are supplied may also be adjusted in accordance with the desired deceleration, as specified by the driver. Currently in the United Kingdom trains which dispense sand do so at a standard rate of 2 kg/min. Adjusting the rate of supply of particles in accordance with vehicle speed to higher values than that, at higher speeds (say above 50 km/hr), will enable improved braking performance to be achieved, while reducing the rate of supply to lower values than that, at low speeds (say below 15 km/hr), will minimise the problems caused to the track circuit.
The invention also provides an apparatus for enhancing the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle, by adjusting the rate of supply of adhesion-enhancing particles in the manner defined above. The rate of supply of particles may be continuously variable, or alternatively the rate of supply may be adjustable in steps. It will be appreciated that any such apparatus is desirably arranged so that if the adjustment fails, the apparatus should revert to dispensing the particles at a constant rate (e.g. 2 kg/min).
The invention will now be further and more particularly described, by way of example only, and with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows a flow diagram for a train braking system.
The drawing is a flow diagram and illustrates a preferred embodiment of a braking system for a train.
Referring to the drawing, a train braking system 10 incorporates an air compressor 11 and main air reservoir 12 which maintains the air pressure in a train brake pipe 13 at a value above atmospheric pressure, for example at 7 atmospheres (700 kPa). Air from the main reservoir 12 is supplied to the train brake pipe 13 via a pressure reducing valve 14, and hence via a check valve 15 to a brake reservoir 16 in each vehicle of the train. In each vehicle, air from the brake reservoir 16 is supplied to brake cylinders 18 (only one is shown) through a brake pipe 19, there being a pair of brake cylinders 18 for each wheel set in the vehicle, the air supply being controlled by the driver by means of a controller 20. Typically the controller 20 adjusts the brake pressure in steps—for example slight, moderate, and high braking, up to maximum (emergency) braking.
The system 10 also includes, in each vehicle, a wheel slide protection (WSP) system 22 which consists of a WSP valve 23 in the brake pipe 19 to each wheel set, whose operation is controlled by a computer 24. The WSP valve 23 effectively separates the pipe 19 into an inlet pipe 25 and an outlet pipe 26. The valve 23 can be in one of three states: in one state the air pressure in the inlet pipe 25 is supplied to the outlet pipe 26 (and so to the brake cylinder 18); in a second state the inlet pipe 25 is closed off, while the outlet pipe 26 is open to the atmosphere through a choke; and in the third state both the inlet pipe 25 and the outlet pipe 26 are closed off. The computer 24 receives input data indicating the rotation rate of each wheel, and calculates the speed of the vehicle, and hence determines if a wheel is slipping. If this occurs, then the computer 24 controls the WSP valve 23 in the pipe 19 to the brake cylinders 18 for that wheel set; the WSP valve 23 changes to the second state so the pressure supplied to the brake cylinders 18 gradually decreases. The degree of slip may be monitored at frequent intervals, for example every 30 ms, and each WSP valve 23 operated accordingly. If the degree of slip is acceptable then the WSP valve 23 changes to the third state so the pressure in the brake cylinder 18 remains constant. If the wheel stops slipping, then the WSP valve 23 changes to the first state so the pressure in the brake cylinder 18 is again increased.
Such wheel slide protection systems 22 are known. They come into effect only if wheel slip occurs, and under those circumstances the brake pressure is modulated as described, so that the wheel turns at a rate about 10 or 15 percent less than that required by the speed of the train. This optimises the braking effect.
The system 10 also incorporates, in the front vehicle of the train, a pressure sensor 30 which measures the pressure in the outlet brake pipe 26 and hence in the brake cylinder 18. This is preferably in the pipe 26 for the leading wheel set 31. If the wheels are slipping, the pressure so measured provides a measure of the adhesion between the front wheels 31 and the rail 40. An electrical signal provided by the sensor 30 is supplied to a sander control unit 32, which may operate a display 33 in the driver's cab, for example if the adhesion is exceptionally low.
The sander control unit 32 also receives electrical signals indicating the brake level demanded by the driver, and signals from the WSP computer 24 indicating the calculated vehicle speed and the presence of wheel slip. The control unit 32 hence calculates the amount of sand needed to achieve the required deceleration. This is output as a control signal to a sand control valve 34 connected pneumatically to two sand hoppers 35 (only one is shown) mounted each side of the front vehicle just in front of the third wheel set 36. The air pressure supplied to the sand control valve 34 is that of the main reservoir 12. Each hopper 35 includes a dispensing nozzle 38 through which dry sand is ejected onto the rail 40 just in front of the wheels 36, at a variable rate which depends upon the signals received from the sander control unit 32.
Thus when the driver wishes to slow or stop the train he applies air pressure to all the brake cylinders 18 at a pressure determined by the controller 20. If any wheel set starts to slide, then the wheel slide protection system 22 reduces the pressure in the brake cylinder 18 of that wheel set to control the amount of slip, and provides a signal indicating wheel slip to the sander control unit 32. If the front wheel set 31 of the train is slipping, a signal is provided to the sander control unit 32 by the pressure sensor 30 indicating the degree of adhesion. If the adhesion is below a threshold value, then the hoppers 35 are activated to dispense sand onto the interface between the third wheel set 36 and the rail 40. This will improve the adhesion for the wheel set 36, and for all subsequent wheel sets in the train, as the sand tends to clean the rail head as the wheels roll over it. The lower the value of adhesion (as indicated by the sensor 30), the more sand is dispensed. The rate of dispensing of sand is also adjusted in accordance with the speed of the train. Hence, if the ideal level of adhesion improvement is achieved, the third and subsequent wheel sets will stop slipping. However as the leading wheel set 31 is unsanded, this will still slip and act as a detector of low adhesion, so ensuring that sand is still applied whilst low adhesion conditions are detected on the rails 40.
It will be appreciated that an apparatus for enhancing the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle may differ from that described above while remaining within the scope of the invention. In particular the pressure in the brake cylinder 16 might be calculated by the computer 24 of the corresponding wheel slide protection system 22, rather than being measured by a pressure sensor 30.
An alternative embodiment does not require the pressure sensor 30, and is applicable to vehicles which do not incorporates a wheel slide protection system 22; in other respects the system incorporates the features described above. In this embodiment the sander control unit 32 receives signals from an accelerometer (not shown) which may be incorporated within the sander control unit 32. As described earlier, the sander control unit 32 receives electrical signals indicating the brake level demanded by the driver. This brake level may be continuously variable, or may be adjustable in steps, for example slight braking, moderate braking, high braking, and emergency braking; these.steps typically correspond to decelerations of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 m/s2 respectively if the vehicle does not slip. The sander control unit 32 determines if the deceleration measured by the accelerometer differs from the demanded deceleration by an amount greater than a threshold value. Any such discrepancy between the values of deceleration indicates poor adhesion, and the greater the discrepancy the lower is the adhesion. The sander control unit 32 may operate a display 33 in the driver's cab, for example if the adhesion is exceptionally low.
The sander control unfit 32 can hence calculate the amount of sand needed to achieve the demanded deceleration in accordance with the observed adhesion. As described above in relation to the system 10, this is output as a control signal to a sand control valve 34. The rate at which sand is ejected onto the rail 40 may be continuously variable, or may be variable in steps. For example sand might be ejected at rates of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 kg/min in accordance with the demanded deceleration, and the discrepancy between the values of deceleration.
Particularly at low speeds, the application of sand onto the rail 40 may increase the electrical resistance between the rail 40 and the wheels to such an extent that the track circuit does not detect the train. This problem may be mitigated by reducing the rate at which sand is dispensed at such low speeds. Alternatively or additionally a sensor may be provided to monitor the track circuit current through the axle of a wheel set behind the sander hoppers 35, and reducing the sand dispensing rate if the current becomes too low. A suitable sensor for this purpose is described in GB 99 08599.5.
It will be appreciated that the system for enhancing the wheel rail adhesion as described to improve railway braking performance may also be used to enhance traction performance. Wheel spin in traction may also be detected by the wheel slide protection system 22 and signalled to the sander control unit 32, so that an appropriate amount of sand may be deposited to increase tractive effort whilst minimising the risk to the track circuit. The sand flow rates may be adjusted according to train speed, the effect on track circuits, or the traction motor current on electrical powered stock. This latter current acts as an indicator of the adhesion level in a similar way to the brake pressure described earlier.
b) the vehicle incorporates a wheel slide protection system that modulates the pressure in a brake cylinder in response to detection of wheel slip, and a value of the adhesion is determined from a determination of the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the value of the adhesion is determined from a determination of the pressure supplied to a brake cylinder, and wherein the particles are applied to a wheel/rail interface that is behind the wheel on which the said brake cylinder acts.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1 also comprising the step of providing a warning indication if the value of the adhesion is below a threshold value.
4. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the adhesion-enhancing particles are supplied dry.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the rate at which adhesion-enhancing particles are applied is also adjusted in accordance with the speed of the vehicle.
6. A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the adhesion-enhancing particles are applied at a rate that is adjusted to one of a plurality of different non-zero values.
b) the vehicle incorporates a wheel slide protection system that modulates the pressure in a brake cylinder in response to detection of wheel slit, and the adhesion-determining means determines the adhesion from a determination of the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder.
8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 7 in which the particle-applying means adjusts the rate of supply in steps.
9. An apparatus as claimed in claim 7 wherein the adhesion-determining means determines the adhesion from a determination of the pressure supplied to a brake cylinder, and wherein the particle-applying means applies the particles to the interface between the rail and a wheel that is behind the wheel on which the said brake cylinder acts.

People typically ask me why they aren’t reaching their health and weight reduction targets even when sticking to a great exercise routine. You can not outrun a nasty weight loss plan,” the consultants write in an editorial published yesterday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. It’s finest to be taught a little bit of fundamental vitamin science (like from a free on-line course or e book—online courses from Udemy, Khan, MIT, and many others), after which get to finding people who appear logical to discuss things with. In other words, minimizing energy spent equals more fat stored, which is a bad idea,” she provides.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging discovered that train prevents untimely senescent cell accumulation and protects against the damaging effects of an unhealthy weight loss plan, together with deficiencies in bodily, heart, and metabolic operate, equal to diabetes.
These unhealthy consuming habits can affect our nutrient intake, including energy (or kilojoules ) protein, carbohydrates, important fatty acids, nutritional vitamins and minerals in addition to fibre and fluid. In many circumstances, obesity is more to do with environmental elements, akin to poor consuming habits realized during childhood. Short-term effects of poor nutrition embrace lethargy and feeling unwell basically. Being fit begins with food plan determining 70-80% of the battle to turn out to be healthy, and train is simply 20-30% of the factor. Causes of poor diet embrace consuming issues, alcoholism, hunger and poor food regimen.
A research by the University of St. Andrews stories a scarcity of exercise exacerbates the seen indicators of getting old, making individuals’s faces look older and fatter. Kamal Patel is the director of He’s a vitamin researcher with an MPH and MBA from Johns Hopkins University, and is on hiatus from a PhD in nutrition during which he researched the hyperlink between weight loss plan and power ache. But should you really are good the rest of the time, having every week of bad behaviour to stay up for generally is a nice motivator. Poor dietary choices end in elevated unhealthy cholesterol and plaque in arteries.
A higher approach to kind the guidelines may be to keep away from focus on particular person nutrients (since few vitamins are categorically good or unhealthy, other than manmade trans-fat that are all the time unhealthy) and slightly encourage entire foods.

PECATONICA — Two former Pecatonica Fire Protection District employees have been charged with stealing more than $100,000 in taxpayer money.
Brenda Samuelson, 48, and her husband, Donald Samuelson Jr., 56, were each charged with two counts of theft, two counts of conspiracy to commit theft and 24 counts of forgery, State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato announced at a news conference today. The charges come after a 10-month investigation.
The Samuelsons turned themselves in to police today and have each posted the required 10 percent of $5,000 bond for release.
Brenda Samuelson was an emergency medical technician and bookkeeper for the Pecatonica Fire Department until she was terminated in December 2010. Donald Samuelson was a firefighter terminated in 2005, according to a news release from the state’s attorney’s office.
The counts of theft, the most serious of the charges, are Class 1 felonies punishable by four to 15 years in prison.
Both plan to plead not guilty when they are arraigned, said their attorney, Chuck Prorok.
They also face a lawsuit filed against them July 29 by the Pecatonica Fire Protection District. That lawsuit alleges they took more than $200,000 from the district.
Brenda Samuelson began taking district funds immediately after she was entrusted with bookkeeping duties in May 2006, according to the suit.
The lawsuit claims that Brenda Samuelson wrote checks to herself, her husband and “cash” that they were not entitled to, totaling more than $96,600 between then and 2010, when she was fired. It also says she was paid about $43,600 for weekend and hourly EMT standby time when the true amount only totaled $3,291. It further alleges she arranged for payments to her husband of more than $48,000 for hours he did not work from 2006 to 2010 as well as bonuses to herself totaling $8,900 and $4,500 that were never approved by or disclosed to the board of trustees.
The fraudulent payments were detected during an audit of the district’s fiscal 2010 budget, when it was determined she had omitted check numbers to herself and her husband, according to the lawsuit.
The Samuelsons denied the allegations in a response to the civil suit filed earlier this year. Attempts to reach them by phone today were unsuccessful.
The lawsuit asks for the return of stolen funds and asks Brenda Samuelson to repay her regular salary starting from May 2006, which totals to more than $130,500 over five years. It also seeks $500,000 in punitive damages.

This interdisciplinary study offers a comprehensive analysis of the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Providing full historical context and drawing on a wide range of literature, this book explores the continuous economic and social transformation of the post-socialist world. While the future is yet to be determined, understanding the present phase of transformation is critical.
The book’s core exploration evolves along three pivots of competitive economic structure, institutional change, and social welfare. The main elements include analysis of the emergence of the socialist economic model; its adaptations through the twentieth century; discussion of the 1990s market transition reforms; post-2008 crisis development; and the social and economic diversity in the region today. With an appreciation for country specifics, the book also considers the urgent problems of social policy, poverty, income inequality, and labor migration.
Transition Economies will aid students, researchers and policy makers working on the problems of comparative economics, economic development, economic history, economic systems transition, international political economy, as well as specialists in post-Soviet and Central and Eastern European regional studies.
“A new book on transition economies, with a strong historical perspective, knowledge of the area and languages, lots of empirics and discussion of new issues like migration and remittances.” - Branko Milanovic, Visiting Presidential Professor, Graduate Center - CUNY; Former Lead Economist, World Bank Research Department.
Aleksandr V. Gevorkyan is Associate Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics and Finance of the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University, USA. His research covers themes in open economy macroeconomics, economic development, international financial economics, and post-socialist transition economics.

The paper aims to define the main features and principles of seasonal and interannual NO2 variations in Ukrainian industrial cities. Using ground-based measurements for 15-year period, it shows weak NO2 seasonal variability that could intensify in case of three regularities. These regularities depend on impact of natural conditions during anthropogenic emissions growth and redistribution between emission sources. Most industrial cities are characterized by positive trends even if stationary industrial emissions fall. NO2 interannual changes forms under variety of fluctuations. However, 6.2- and 9.3-year periods have the biggest impact and might be explained by low-frequent lunar tidal forces through its influence on meteorological conditions.

14 days of exploration with options for different activity levels to suit your preferred pace; from the heritage sites of the Kathmandu Valley to the jungles of the Terai, to the birthplace of Buddha and the stunning lakeside town of Pokhara with it’s incredible mountain views.
If trekking is not for you, but you like to get an insight into the life and culture of the place you visit, then this is your trip! This self paced program allows you to take more active or relaxed options as you prefer, on the trip of a lifetime around Nepal. You can take the activities at your own pace, but the program still enables you to get to know the real Nepal – from the bazaars and temples of Kathmandu to the elephants and tigers of Chitwan National Park, to the birthplace of Lord Buddha at Lumbini. From the traditional atmosphere of charming hill towns to stunning Pokhara, you have the chance to get as active as you like, with active options like rafting and walking in the itinerary, or taking it easy at your preferred pace.
After breakfast at your hotel we will explore the must see sites of Kathmandu and its surroundings. We will explore Pashupatinath Temple complex and Boudanath Stupa. These temples are both exceptionally important sites to their respective religions, Pashupatinath being sacred to Hindus and Boudanath to Buddhists. In the afternoon we will visit Kathmandu Durbar Square before relaxing in our hotel over dinner.
After breakfast at your hotel we will explore the must see sites of Kathmandu and its surroundings. We will have a morning tour to the holy Buddhist stupa of Swayambunath, also called the Monkey Temple. After lunch we will explore the ancient city of Patan and visit the Tibetan Handicraft Centre.
After breakfast this morning we will say goodbye to Kathmandu and go exploring beyond the valley rim. We head out of town in our van, gaining our first glimpse of the Himalayan Range just after we leave the valley at Thankot.
After a short descent to Naubise we commence climbing through terraced fields, forest of oaks and rhododendron and authentic villages. We descend into the pretty Palung Valley and then our last climb takes us into Daman our destination for tonight. From Daman we have spectacular views of the icy and snow-capped Himalayan peaks form east to west. In clear weather it is possible to see Mount Everest from here.
This morning is for the bird lovers – for those who wish, we take you bird watching to spot some of the 400 different species of birds that live in the park. After breakfast we will be able to see the buzz and liveliness of the Terai as we make our way to Lumbini, the birth place of Lord Buddha. We will visit his birthplace and historical home, before he departed his royal life to seek enlightenment, and visit some of the many temples and monasteries now located in this highly significant place.
After breakfast we again witness the diverse landscape of Nepal as we ascend from the sub-tropical plains to the delightful hill top retreat town of Tansen. We follow the Siddhartha Highway, arriving in Tansen for lunch. From this lovely old trading town we have magnificent views both to the north and to the south. In the north we have a magnificent panorama of the Himalayan Range encircled by a waving valley. To the south we see the vastness of the flat landscape that is the Terai, stretching into the Northern plains of India.
Today we drive to the stunning lakeside town of Pokhara. This is a haven for those coming back from trekking or a road trip! The afternoon is free to relax or explore some more active options. For the adventurous we can arrange paragliding or Para hawking and there fantastic leisurely options, including a boat ride on the glassy lake or an afternoon massage!
After breakfast we wave goodbye to Pokhara and drive back through an exotic landscape of terraced hillsides and pretty villages until we reach the emerald green Trisuli River where we have the option to experience some rafting! No experience is needed for this two hour rafting ride, but it is a great chance to enjoy the water and the spirit of adventure.
The experienced guide will steer you, with paddling help from yourself and your comrades. Where we paddle, the Trisuli is an easy grade of river with now and then a rapid, enough to get the taste of adventure. We take a break from rafting for our picnic lunch on the riverside and then continue in the afternoon back to Kathmandu.
The rest of the day is free for you spend your time relaxing, shopping, doing some more exploring, or simply watching the world go by from a terrace coffee shop!

P. Tseng, I. G. M. Cameron, D. P. Munoz, L. Itti, Effects of development on low-level feature processing during natural viewing of dynamic scenes, In: Proc. Vision Science Society Annual Meeting (VSS11), May 2011.
Abstract: Eye movements have been widely used to examine many aspects of brain functions, such as reflexive response, inhibitory controls, and working memory, in normal development. However, it is unclear how normal development affects eye movements of natural viewing behavior. This study specifically examined the developmental trajectory of low-level features processing while participants freely viewed videos of natural scenes. These videos are composed of short (2–4 seconds), unrelated clips. This design was to reduce top-down expectation and to magnify the difference in gaze allocation at every scene change. Gazes of 3 groups of participants (18 children, 10.7 +/- 1.8 yr; 18 young adults, 23.2 +/- 2.6 yr; 24 elderly, 70.3±7.5 yr) were tracked while they watched the videos for 20 minutes. First, we used a computational saliency model (Itti & Koch, 2001) to compute bottom-up saliency maps for each video frame. These saliency maps can be computed from a single feature (e.g. color contrast, motion contrast) or a combination of them. Next, we computed the correlation between salience and gaze of each population. To reveal the developmental trajectory of low-level features processing, classifiers were built to differentiate (1) children vs. young adults, and (2) young adults vs. elderly. In the mean time, a feature selection method was performed to identify the most discriminative features for differentiating the populations. Using this method, we found that during normal maturation (children to young adults), there was a reduction in saccade interval and an increase in correlation between gaze and texture contrast, orientated edges, and color contrast. On the other hand, during normal aging (young adults to elderly), we found an increase in saccade interval and a decrease in correlation between gaze and oriented edges. In conclusion, this study revealed for the first time the differences between age groups in low-level feature processing during natural viewing of dynamic scenes.

Emerging infectious diseases rarely affect all members of a population equally and determining how individuals’ susceptibility to infection is related to other components of their fitness is critical to understanding disease impacts at a population level and for predicting evolutionary trajectories. We introduce a novel state-space model framework to investigate survival and fecundity of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) affected by a transmissible cancer, devil facial tumour disease. We show that those devils that become host to tumours have otherwise greater fitness, with higher survival and fecundity rates prior to disease-induced death than non-host individuals that do not become infected, although high tumour loads lead to high mortality. Our finding that individuals with the greatest reproductive value are those most affected by the cancer demonstrates the need to quantify both survival and fecundity in context of disease progression for understanding the impact of disease on wildlife populations.

My contact is breek24@gmail.com. Would like to talk to some like minded people.
I am a 36 year old male from muskegon michigan. I am worried about the the way the world is heading. I would love to be part of an off grid community. I am a master mechanic and good at solving problems. My thoughts were to build a tiny house and downsize my life. I am interested in a community or land share where we could grow most of our food instead of eating the crap from the supermarkets. I believe that a strong community is so much more important then material things. People are polluting this planet with all of the wasteful junk they purchase everyday just thinking that it disappears. Its time for change.
im 28yr old wht male, good shape.. have had successful business career, an im financially stable.ive had my “quarter life crisis ” lol an have this desire to live completely different than what i had been living an slow down from my 100mph city lifestyle…..
the past couple of yrs i have been renting a farm house an land an have cows,chickens, goats, 2 pigs, ect..but the landlord has just lost his job an has given me notice he is going to have to move back… :(! so i have to find somewhere to go..
im flexible to location, im located in the southeast currently….(an i like it here, since growing season is good, an water is not an issue) open to a living in a house, or i live in my camper.
i do feel as i would be a MAJOR asset to a community or small family farm/homestead ..i have things that would probably be beneficial such as, 4×4 tractor an loader an equipment, trucks, flatbed an stock trailers, atv,backhoe, welders, tons of tools an air compressors, SOLAR PANELS an a HUGE battery bank. freezers, very nice canning equipment, (i havent used yet, still new in the box)generators ,animals, fencing skills an supplies, an much more….i have plenty of food for my self an maybe enough to share.
a little bout me, my view points are probably more libertarian, i love to snow ski, an have a desire to be self sufficient. i collect books.
anyone in the michigan area looking togo off gridd.
I am 29 years old with 3 tween age children, currently living in Wisconsin. I have a small amount of money saved and currently recieve 2k per month in spousal support payments. This means I would have money to contribute to a community while still being present to do work as well…I want to be totally off grid, maybe have solar/wind turbine at some point, build a house with my bare hands, etc. I would like to learn and work beside others farming, building, and supporting each other . Anyone who would welcome me and my children into your community, please contact me with more information.
I currently live in WA & Im looking to join an off grid community. I can crochet & cook. I am a hard worker & I’ve been reading up on gardening lately as i want to start my own. I am 24 with no kids & I’m finding it hard to exist in this TV obsessed consumerist country. I want to live a simple life. I am willing to locate anywhere on the west. Would live to great back from anyone when you can email is balmygirl902@hotmail.com thank you!
The area that I have chosen has lots of sunshine, gentle breezes good clean air and good places to build to take advantage of solar, earth or underground homes. It is a good place to do an off-grid community.
I have a over 600 acres of land rich in mineral resources surrounded by government land 50 miles from the nearest community or grid. I am looking for people that would be willing to work with me to develop an off-grid community not just to survive but to thrive with the wealth of this property and its mineral wealth. Email me at mcrowth84@gmail.com for more details.
Looks like I’ve come to the right place. Great minds! A few folks and I are in the planning stages of an ecovillage down in SC. We convene via telephone every other week. Plans are to go completely offgrid within the next 2 – 3 years. The land has already been acquired. Our website is 98% complete and I will send to you if you are interested. Go ahead and email me at ashima.jackson@gmail.com if you’d like to hear more about this venture.
Wow overwhelming amount of comments.
Hi everyone I am in California and have found some land that would be perfect for just this use we can have a great community I own a roofing company so I have all sorts of supplies but I don’t have enough resources this is 20 mins away from San Jose ca. over 200 acres under 1875 year contract only small fee yearly will never increase contact me at lundyone@gmail.com also have smaller property in we can get in stockton Ca.
Me and My husband live in Los Angeles.
We have 2 girls, 2 and 4. We are looking to get off the grid. I am looking into taking building courses in CAL EARTH. Recentaly saw the documentary WITHIN REACH and would like to have something similar to EMERALD EARTH.
please email me if you are still trying to put this together.
The desire to get away from the big brother government. I am 40 and my husband is 37. We are looking to move by April. We are open to any areas but would like to be near water and food sources.
To the person who has property in Michigan. I would very much like to speak to you. Please contact me at fixcom4@yahoo.com.
Single dad of 3 kids again. Forgot to add that we would be willing to contribute in anyway for a community of off the grid folfs, if there is someone trying to put it together.
I did not leave a email sorry two2wisper@rocketmail.com I have 2.5 acres with water and a powerpole in texas county mo. that joins up to 35000 ac of national park looking for others who want to slow down and live a lifestyle that is off the grid as much as possible.Soil is workable and springfeed creeks and rivers are close to my land.wanting to start something soon.
Hi Steven, my husband and I are 25 and 26, have a 2 yr old son, and are looking to live off the grid also asap. We currently live in texas. We mostly wanted to live in Hawaii (due to natural food sources) but are open to anywhere warm yr round. Your post caught my eye since we’re all close in age, send us an email if you guys are interested in what we can contribute!
Anyone besides Hunter that is looking for another family to join please feel free to contact me.
My family (me, my husband, along with my 14 & 15 year old daughters) would love to join you!
Anyone serious about putting something together around late spring in CA, OR, AZ, or NM – please get hold of me!
To clarify a bit… I am in north central Ca. I have a large house on an acre and a half. But I am within city limits and would like to get a little farther out. Join with a family, collection of families, singles, couples, doesn’t matter to me. Time does.
I am also interested, but time is getting a little short. I have the same goals (have lived the life several short periods) have the skills, a large collection of resources – but there’s a catch, or two.
I am extremely serious and will reply to anyone about any situation or the immediate creation of a brand new one.
Would like to aim at late spring 2013.
I have been planning this for a number of years now, but keep getting set backs..;o( I live in a 29 foot Airstream Trailer that I have completely rebuilt inside. I have built, remodeled and repaired houses and comerical buildings. I worked in Latin America for 20 years in manufacturing, I built and managed plants for US companies. I have many skills to offer. Am retired now, in good health, and really want to get away from all this crazyness. I have been telling folks for many years that we are headed off a cliff, but everyone just laughs at me. Proof is in the price of gold, in 1900 it was $25 an once, today it is $1800. This makes our dollar worth 1/(1800/25)=0.013 pennies. Pure inflation tax collected by the banksters. Today they are arguing over how and how much to cut from Medicare and no one is steering the ship…DUH! and no life boats!
I have designed a magnetic motor/generator set. I also have designs to build a small hydrodam. Electricity helps to make life easier, but not require to live. I grew up on a dairy farm in Ohio milking cows and farming 250 acres. Am a good mechanic and maintain my old 87 Suburban.
My interest is would be joining a small group wanting to build a community in the Northwest part of the US. Not into deserts or high elevations. Should have a year round stream for water supply or a very good shallow aquafer that is good and pure. A good spring would also be a good water supply. You can not service deep wells without heavy equipment. Water purification can be delt with as required.
In my estimation we may have but a very short window to establish such a community before our country actually declares bankrupcy or just goes over the cliff, or blows up one way or another. I would rather be situated before any of that happens because I believe that our government will restrict all of us from traveling making it almost impossible to establish such a community. There are just so many things to be considered to actually establish such a community, and then there is the finding the right place to establish it.
I am ready to do something, how about you? rmergy@yahoo.com only if you are serious.
I am a 42 year old woman looking for just such a situation. I would love to hear your plans as I have been doing alot of research. I am healthy and handy and ready to contribute. Please drop me a line.
Definitely interested in off-grid living. We are located in NorCal also, but would be open to west coast are in general. I’m 41 and have a 9 yr. old daughter, and also my best friend who is 21. Been feeling called to this life-style for a long time now. Would love to hear from you.
Builder husband of 26 years and chef wife that can cook anything, wanting to love life a little more and give back to Mother earth. We live in Oregon and are willing and ready to move somewhere that we can grow our food! Teach and learn from others. and well just enjoy life! Want to be family?
Hi, My family and I are also looking to go off grid. Hubby and I are getting a divorce but would like to raise our two girls, 1 &3 together in a community, love to here what you all are up too now.
Relocating to our property in southcentral Mo.Texas county.It is only a couple acres but it joins to 35000 acres of national forest.We have been gardening and canning for years.I am 46 and have done a lot of Construction .I have a lot of tools and equipment.We are looking for a couple of others who want to get away from the mainstream and live a more self sustaining life .
I am a 52 year old single man that has many skills of survival and building. I also am a fisherman and hunter. I am wanting a Christian based community that is OFF THE GRID. I believe the world is headed in the wrong direction and really don’t want to be controlled by the government. I am not an anti-government person, but if things keep heading in the direction they are headed all our freedoms are going to be taken away. I want to live a free and happy life for the years I have left. I am healthy for the most part and physically able to take care of myself. I would prefer to be with other people that are like minded. I am open to finding a soulmate that wants the same things and is compatible. I am a Navy vet and presently a volunteer in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. i would like to hear from people interested in getting together and are serious about this. Thanks for reading and wish you ALL the best!
I’m a single 39 year old man looking for a community already working. I would like to learn and help with plans of staying if I fit. Either that, or perhaps I can take what you’ve taught me and help other people build their new communities. I believe this is what I really need in life and I’m willing to put my all into it. I am open to any and all opportunities to learn under experienced people. I work hard and I’m very gentle. I am respectful towards others, and very intelligent for helping solve problems when they arise. I’m strong (out of shape though). My interests are in gardening and water purification, but I can build. I’m a philosopher and a psychologist by heart. I’m a great conversationalist, but also love my time to myself.
We have been wanting this for many years. We recently attempted to cfd a 40 acre parcel w a stocked pond and 4 bedroom 2 bath in Illinois, but the deal fell through when the sellers backed out due to their split/divorce. Our long term goal was to build a community that is self sustained. We have been broken hearted since. For 6 yrs we have been buying a house in a neighborhood on a double lot, but are willing to sell and move our financial contribution and skills toward someone else’s community making ourself a part of the same dream others share. We are both hard workers with a love of the outdoors. My husband works as a CDL driver now and is legal to transport supplies that may someday be required for building. Other Skills we can offer a community include construction, roofing, gardening, animal husbandry and preparation, woodworking, painting and musical abilities. We have a 15 yr old son of fit and strong build who is also of a warm and intelligent nature. His biggest passion in life is reading books and is not a tech child as many these days have become. Our 19 yr old daughter and her boyfriend are equally interested in a community that is self sustained and off grid, and they have the same to offer as listed above. (in addition, Should the need to defend ever arise we are all of a physical ability to do so though we are all pacifists by nature. Times may call for a need in the future for some to have a soldier’s skills mixed with a soft hearted compassion. Her boyfriend would bring this to the table also if ever needed) All of us are in good physical condition, able bodied and have outdoor loving natures. Only serious contacts please.
I live in KS and am looking for individuals or families to either start or join a community off of the grid. I have 2 children 15 and 18 and we are doing this, let me know if anyone is interested or knows of a place to check out.
We may live across the pond but are looking to live off the grid with our family in Wales. We have a 13 month old and a 9 year old and a cat.
Hi we live in the Austin area and are looking to get serious about getting off grid and growing and living a sustainable life. We are looking for land and a loving community. We have 3 children ages 4,6, and 11.
I am Kayla currently living in IL with my husband and 7yo son and 11yo daughter. I have been working on a goal to join or start a sustainable community. I am only looking at land east of the continental divide, but maybe we could share strategies. How are you looking to manage healthcare and education? Do you have plans for a clean energy and water source. I just got back from a trip to Nappanee, IN where is visited an Amish community to learn how they manage without electricity and about farming practices. I am not religious, but they continue some very sound methods used for hundreds of years.

I've been using Opera for years, but I never needed to sync my data between my devices...until today. I've decided to sync my data (especially my speed dial from a computer A to a computer B ). I've connected to my opera account on both devices. Now my very stupid question: now what should I do?
I can't simply figure out what to do next. I'll really be grateful if someone could explain me step by step how to process. I don't really care about passwords or browser history. What's the most important for me now is to find all the pages on my speed dial on computer A on my new computer B and maybe also find my extensions from computer A on the computer B.
P.S: sorry for my bad english, I'm french native speaker.
In the case of speed dials, you'll see them listed in Bookmarks in a section labeled "Other speed dials".
Please where is that section?
Of course those are the English titles - not sure of the French translations.
Not a simple one, sorry. If you want them gone from the old computer you could drag them all to the Speed dial folder on the new computer. Unless you deactivate Sync on the old computer, changes made in Other Speed Dials will be made to the other computer. If you don't have too many speed dials, it is probably easiest to open each site on the new machine so you can add it normally.
Using the Bookmark Manager you can quickly and easily select them all and drag them over in one operation.

This is probably the first time I mention on this blog that my tot will be a big brother. It is just weeks away! I can't believe how fast time goes. Unlike the first time, I have my tot to keep me busy every second. First time around, by now, my tot already had a wardrobe full of clothes and accessories. Not to mention the nursery was done long time ago. This time, just a few weeks away, we have bought just enough clothes, bedding's still on the way, nursery's ALMOST done. Well..to be fair, we lived in an apartment in Manhattan when I was getting the nursery done for my tot and this time, it's a proper sized nursery which gives me more visions than I could handle!! Haha.
Even though I am usually very decisive, I could see the room going to a couple of different directions which I liked all, it took a long time for me to actually come to the final decision. Not to mention the process of finding a painter who can give me the perfect look I was going for. I was lucky enough to find the perfect person and now we're filling up the room.
So now that we spilled the beans, I can talk about my cravings. Pregnant or not, I often have strong cravings for savory stuff but this third trimester, I started to crave more sweets. Can't eat a lot of sweets but variety of sweets at different times. A little taste of chocolate at one point, a little taste of coffee at another. And strangely for a coffee lover like me, I do not crave actual coffee. Instead I drink lots and lots of tea. Of course I have to control the caffeine level so I start my day with a cup of earl grey and rest of the day is herbal tea. One thing I learned this pregnancy is that you have to be careful even with herbal tea. With my tot, I still craved coffee, not tea so I just drank decaf most of the times but this time, I wanted chamomile which I never ever craved(in fact I couldn't stand it before pregnancy)and all kinds of stuff. Then I learned that chamomile tea is not good for pregnant women! Anyway, I drink hot water with a slice of lemon or peppermint tea a lot. Definitely different cravings.
I am sure occasional treat of these little guys isn't going to do anything and these are so enjoyable. I halved the cream filling recipe when I made it. For some reason, even half the recipe made more than enough for mine. Makes about two dozen sandwiched cookies.
1. In a bowl cream the butter and confectioner's sugar until smooth.
2. In another bowl, combine rest of the dry ingredients and whisk. Mix it into creamed butter. When combined, add vanilla extract.
3. Wrap it in plastic and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. While chilling, preheat the oven to 350F.
4. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut out circles. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes and transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
5. While cooling, make the filling. I halved the recipe and it was enough. Cream butter and peanut butter until smooth and add confectioner's sugar and sea salt. Mix until smooth.
6. Place about 1 Tbsp filling on a cookie and top with another. Assemble rest of the cookies the same way. If desired, melt some chocolate and drizzle on top and sprinkle chopped chocolate or cocoa nibs.
*Recipe by the little epicurean.

We drove from NC to FL, with an intended overnight stop in Savannah, GA (the halfway point). We ended up making it to Jacksonville, FL instead before stopping.
We stayed off-site within walking distance to Downtown Disney at the Holiday Inn Lake Buena Vista Downtown. No complaints. Quick check-in, clean room, shuttle was on time and although the driver was a little erratic I think that’s par for the course. The shuttle ran every 30 minutes starting an hour before park opening. We even had time to enjoy the pool. This was an inexpensive option at only $150/night including taxes and fees.
We walked to Downtown Disney, which took less than 10 minutes from our hotel. This area has several cool shops, and we mainly stuck to the toy stores. We did spend some time in the LEGO store and admired the artwork in The Art of Disney. The boys rode a carousel (their first taste of a ride!) and a train, then we met up with my sister and brother-in-law for dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.
We spent a full (and I mean FULL) day at Magic Kingdom our first day, so we bought base MK tickets without any of the upgrade options. The total was only a little over $200, since the boys are not yet three.
In advance, I had registered for an account on MyDisneyExperience and tied our tickets to it. We also downloaded the app so we could access it in the parks easily. Using this site/app, we were able to choose three rides/character meets in advance for FastPass+. I selected experiences I thought the boys would enjoy that typically have longer wait times, which ended up being meeting Mickey Mouse in the Town Square Theater, Meeting Rapunzel (E LOVES the movie Tangled) and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. We planned to head straight to Peter Pan’s flight upon arrival since the wait time builds quickly there too.
Peter Pan’s Flight was even more popular than I thought! We went right there and it was already up to a 30 minute wait, so we skipped it and rode the Carrousel first instead. We noticed Rapunzel only had a 15 minute wait, so we headed there next and used our phone app to change our Rapunzel FastPass+ over to Peter Pan’s Flight instead. App success!
The queue went quickly for Rapunzel but when we arrived, E was terrified and climbed my body like a spider monkey. N eventually stood next to her, but even he took a little coaxing. They both flat out refused to even look at Snow White, so we just thanked her and carried on. We next waited for Tinkerbell (this was our 20 minute wait) but unfortunately the boys had a similar reaction. They just were not into the “real people” character meets!
After this, we rode several other rides (such as Dumbo, It’s a Small World and the Mad Tea Party, which didn’t have waits) and watched some shows and parades. We grabbed some hot dogs for lunch (instant regret), then used our FastPass+ for meeting Mickey (they were also a bit frightened for this one – he talks!), Peter Pan’s Flight and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.
After the Buzz ride, they were able to meet Buzz and this was their favorite character meet of the day. E wanted to press all of his buttons, and when he pressed the power button, Buzz deactivated until they turned him back on. It was really fun.
We walked all over the park and saw a new parade called the Festival of Fantasy while the boys napped in their stroller. This parade featured Anna and Elsa from Frozen, which was nice because I had absolutely no plans to visit Epcot and wait in the 4 hour line to see them.
The boys woke up right before we were scheduled for dinner at the Crystal Palace. This is a character dinner we reserved in advance through the MyDisneyExperience website. As I mentioned before, N has a peanut allergy, so the chef came out and walked me through the buffet line to show me which items were safe and which ones cannot be guaranteed. We had plenty of options for him. Both boys loved the Winnie the Pooh characters, who each visited every table in the restaurant.
After dinner, we did a little shopping and the boys wanted to ride Dumbo a few times more. Dumbo’s queue has a nice feature – while waiting in line, you have the option to let the children play on a climbing structure and you will be called when it’s your turn to ride. Even though we didn’t have a line, we still let them get some energy out this way. These kids love to climb.
We waited for the Main Street Electrical Parade, which ended up being a big mess. I think there must be a better way to organize it. We were seated in our roped-off area but as soon as the parade started people started pushing their way into the emergency lanes and the park employees spent the entire time trying to direct people back to the designated areas.
Even though we were running out of steam, we stayed for the projection show (which was amazing) and the fireworks (equally amazing). Getting back to the parking lot and shuttle proved to be an ordeal, since the train line was a gazillion people long and we took the ferry. We were in bed by midnight, but needed to get up super-early again for the next day!
I’ll try to post our Disney Day 2 experience within the next couple of days!

Is TRUE’s last pair of spiked shoes (perhaps ever?) able to overcome some of the shortfalls of the in-between-years?
Since they first made their debut in 2010, I have been a huge fan of TRUE shoes. I owned a couple of pairs of the first version of the TRUE tours, the original Stealths, the updated Tours, a pair of Protos, two pairs of the Phoenix, the Classix, the TRUE Motion, and, my favorite, two pairs of the Sensei.
With the exception of the TRUE Motion on that list, you’ll notice that all of the pairs that I owned were older models. Part of that, of course, is that I had plenty of golf shoes and just didn’t need a new pair. That being said, there hasn’t been anything from TRUE as of late that really made me want to go out and get a new pair. When the opportunity came up to review the TRUE Elements Pro, I jumped at it to see if they were as good as the older TRUEs that I loved or if, like the TRUE Motions did, would disappoint me.
TRUE Linkswear returns to their roots with the release of the Outsider and the Original. In this review, I take a look at the Outsider line and see just how full circle the company has come after hitting it into the tall grass for a few years.
A few friends who have seen my garage will jokingly call me Imelda Marcos. You see, I’ve got about 30 pair of TRUE Linkswear shoes. Some date back to the original Tours (reviewed here in 2010), while others are of a newer vintage.
Thing is… the newer models are much newer looking than they should be, and the older models are much more well worn. You see, while I loved the original TRUE Tours, and adored the Sensei sneaker-style model, and thought the Stealths were a very good shoe, several of the models that followed lacked the characteristics of TRUE’s early releases. TRUE got away from what made their first shoes so great, and I didn’t wear those models as much.
But that’s all changed. The company has “returned to their roots,” in their words, and released two new shoes. The Original and the Outsider harken back to the early days of TRUE – with minimalist approaches to footwear design that earned them a significant and passionate following.
Has TRUE succeeded at this about face and return to the principles from the Tour and Sensei? Are the Original and Outsider true descendants of what made us “#EnjoyTheWalk” over seven years ago? Read on to find out.
Nike’s new Lunar Control shoes keep you firmly planted here on earth.
Though Nike’s line of golf equipment has expanded over the years to include for the most part, anything you’d ever need, they continue to stay true to their footwear roots year after year by offering everything from the radical to sporty to premier/upper echelon. They’ve established a great practice of producing shoes for just about anyone, no matter what their looking for. This year marks the initial release of the Nike Lunar Control, a shoe that, in my opinion, could easily appeal to nearly everyone, young or old, traditional or modern, those seeking comfort over anything else, as well as those concerned with appearance above all. Though this is only the first year they’ve been available, after searching the Internet a bit, it seems that they’ve already gotten quite a fan base.
What makes them so great? Well, you’ll have to follow along to find out.
Tifosi is one of a few brands of value brand sunglasses. Let’s check out their latest products.
So, you purchased the latest high street brand golf bag, perfectly matching your brand new $800 irons. Of course you did, after all, you wouldn’t want your clubs getting all damaged in some pencil bag. You purchased the latest driver from whomever, only setting you back another $400 or so, maybe more or you got it with a custom tour shaft that is suited perfectly to Tiger Woods, or your favorite golfer, but probably not you. It even came with a magnetic head cover, “state of the art” they say, and again, you don’t want your latest investment getting damaged do you? I bet you even have a nice travel bag for those two trips a year you make to keep your clubs from getting knocked about on the plane.
Ryan Moore wears ’em. Freddie arguably made shoes like this cool. Do they stand up to a test of golf?
We first mentioned the TRUE Linkswear shoes in our Bag Drop article. The first and only “TRUE” shoe – the “Tour” model – was introduced back in September and has been shipping since earlier last week.
I’ve had the opportunity to try out a pair of the Tour shoes (I’ll likely slip and call it the TRUE several times throughout this review, but for now the terms are almost synonymous) for the past several weeks, and though I don’t want to give away the ending, I will say this: Ryan Moore ain’t a dummy for wearin’ them.
Do your forearms look like Popeye’s after a day of golf? A new glove aims to lighten your grip with special pads stitched between the fingers.
How many times have you heard teaching pros say something to the effect of “grip the club like a bird: tight enough it won’t fly away, but not so tight you crush it.” Strangling the club is a common problem, and it leads to mechanical flaws, funky tempo and general stress on the hands and wrists.
A new glove on the market, the LeviTee Golf Glove aims to ease your grip with technology, rather than with cute analogies about wildlife.
The most comfortable shoes on the market? Perhaps. The lowest? Adidas says so.
The Adidas Tour 360 is entering its fifth year and fourth version and the Tour 360 Sport its third year and second version with the new “Tour 360 4.0” and “Tour 360 4.0 Sport” models. Though the styling has remained fairly similar due to the common technology of wrapping the Adidas-style triple bands around the undersole, the shoe has come a long way in five years and has claimed its spot among the leaders in the golf footwear arena.
I’m a long-time FootJoy guy – shoes with “FJ” on them have always fit me well – and I gave a pair of the 360 4.0’s and the Sport models a try. Let’s see how the shoes fared.
If you like golf shoes but don’t want to be limited by the offerings that are available at your local golf shop, then perhaps the seemingly millions of options that you can choose from at MyJoys is right up your alley.
Golf shoes can be one of those accessories in which you either want to blend in or stand in out a crowd. For those who want to blend in (I am Exhibit A in that category), odds are you just find a shoe fits great and you pay little attention to the looks (okay, maybe a little just to make sure they don’t look too crazy).
For those who like to stand out a bit more, FootJoy has you covered with their customization website and product line: MyJoys. I decided to try my hand at putting together some custom shoes and was interested to see how fun and painless the process was to order a pair. The easy way would have been to pick out a pair showcasing one of my favorite sports teams but that’s too easy to rather I decided to start with a blank slate and go from there to see what my inner Picasso would turn out.
Tag along as we check out my order.
Crocs jump feet first into the golf shoe market.
I know what you are thinking: golf Crocs? When I was first introduced to the concept of a Croc golf shoe I had more than a few reservations. I have never been a big fan of Crocs. Sure, I saw more than a few people wearing them around town, and my daughter is a die-hard fan who refuses to wear anything else, but I was not sold. And, I certainly did not see them as a type of shoe that could be used for sports – especially not golf.
As it is with skeptics, I was given a pair and told to try them out. Skeptical as I was I took them out on the course and ran them through the drills to see if they really could hold up to what a regular golf shoe has to endure. The results may surprise you. They certainly surprised me.

Former Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt has turned down an offer to join Maltese outfit Valletta FC, opting to continue his professional football trial at the Central Coast Mariners in Australia."We wish Usain Bolt all the best with his football career. The offer is always on the table," Valletta FC chief executive and managing director Ghasston Slimen told ESPN on Thursday, reports Xinhua news agency.Although the eight-time gold medallist has received mixed reviews from football pundits in his first seven weeks at the Mariners, last Friday the fastest man in the world managed to bag two goals in a charity fixture against Macarthur South West United.But with Australia's A-League season about to kick off this weekend, it remains unclear whether the Central Coast will offer the Jamaican star a contract with the club anytime soon. Drawing in huge crowds in just two appearances for the side, Mariners captain Matt Simon told local media that the added attention from the three-time Olympian was "not a distraction.""He's been here for a couple of months now so everywhere we go with Usain, everyone's talking about him so it's just been down to business," he said."We're concentrating on the season and just looking forward to round one and putting into practice what we've been doing at training for the last 12 weeks."Head coach Mike Mulvey has previously stated that he is willing to give Bolt 12 months to prove himself as a footballer, and will likely reassess the trial arrangement around January next year. The Mariners season opener will be against the Brisbane Roar on Sunday.

Few orchid hobbyists are able to contain themselves when it comes to purchasing new orchids. The fever gets even worse for us “old timers” who really get into one group of orchids or another. Typically, the windowsill fills, then a light table is purchased, which quickly fills, then an outdoor growing area of some kind is built, but ultimately there is a limit for all of us.
While new hobbyists ask about diseases, growers who have followed the progression above ask how one limits the obsession. Remember there are an unlimited number of orchids out there to be purchased. Some years ago, I developed a list of classic cattleyas clones that I would like to have and save for posterity. For the most part, I have found those clones and enjoy them for what they represent when they bloom because many are not as nice as their modern counterparts. It is fun to examine their immediate progeny, especially those that produced awards, and to understand exactly how the clone in question was able to produce such memorable offspring.
The difficulty of finding these special clones has made keeping them more important to me than a modern clone that can quickly be found on the internet. I avoid repotting these clones because there is always a risk of infection and disease during repotting. Instead, I wait until there is a 3 or 4 bulb division growing outside the pot that I can take without disturbing the mother plant. Once I get a division, I wait a year or so to be sure the division is thriving before disturbing the mother plant. Often there were other divisions in the pot or there will be additional growths from back bulbs. In a few cases, there were three or four divisions in the original pot. Repotting now means that I have an already established division from the year before and several divisions to trade or sell. Repotting these special clones happens only once every 6-10 years and I try to always have at least two divisions just in case something bad happens. For years, I have traded with other like-minded experienced hobbyists just in case there is a disaster in my greenhouse. In my mind, I am not the owner of these great old orchids, just a caretaker who will eventually pass them on to another caretaker.
There are also many species in my collection and I am constantly buying seedlings of these species, searching for even better or newer forms. Rarely do I find one that is superior to what I have, but it is interesting just to see the kinds of variation that exist with any species. There are also seedlings from other growers that are bloomed out just to see what those parents pass along. Even when they are very beautiful, I rarely keep such seedlings because of space.
My own crosses are treated differently. If it is a hybrid that I expect to be very uniform, there may be only 10-15 bloomed out. I keep a few that represent the best of the grex. Larger numbers of other hybrids that are expected to produce a variety of colors and shapes are flowered just to understand how the various genes are resorted. This can take considerable space, but giving a few seedlings to friends allows me to see more variation. I regularly get emails with photos from friends who have flowered one of my crosses, which is always a treat!

I really hate keeping secrets!
The London Fat Quarterly retreat is coming up in June (make time go faster!) and Trash has organised a little sample swap. Basically, people are randomly assigned to groups of five and everyone makes four of the same item to swap with the other members of the group. We won’t know who is in our group until the day of the retreat, so there is no stalking to be done. This is both liberating and scary.
I’ve made quilted coasters for people before. I like the way that they are absorbent and don’t do that annoying thing where they stick to the bottom of your cup and then fall off with a loud clatter that makes the cat jump off your lap. Anything that prevents the cat jumping off your lap has to be good, right?
I thought that I would use selvedges, because who else would appreciate them other than a load of fabric obsessed quilty types. I’ve been saving my selvedges for ages. I don’t get that many because I tend to only buy fat quarters, but there were enough to piece the fronts of four sets of coasters.
The first set is finished, and the others are sitting and looking at me. I like the way that they fit together like a puzzle – I made a 10 inch square and then cut it into four pieces for each set.
I might make a little drawstring bag to put them in, but I guess I should try to keep at least something a surprise!
In other news, I made a(nother) Figure 8 scarf last week. The last one was made with flannel and it is perfect on days that are not too freezing, but the lovely Annie at the Village Haberdashery is selling special ‘scarf cuts’ of Loulouthi velveteen and matching voiles. Annie knew I was on the lookout for some and emailed me to let me know that it was in stock. Of course I couldn’t stop at just the scarf materials. She’s a smart girl!
Sewing this up was so quick and easy thanks to the perfect cutting, and now my neck is toasty on even the coldest of days. I don’t know about you, but I find that if my neck is warm the rest of me follows. And you can’t get much cosier than this!

A general French term for any drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite. Many such as Dubonnet, Lillet, Martini and Pernod are proprietary brands; but Champagne and Sherry are perhaps the best. The word is in common English useage.
