A disappointment that had a silvery, gooey lining.

Texas Instruments has unveiled a Wi-Fi module that lets people connect devices without screens to a Wi-Fi network via a smartphone. For anyone with a Sonos system or other connected devices in the home, this may not seem so novel, but as we add more connected devices inside the home with lower price points, a standard module that enables a connection via a smartphone makes sense.

When predicting technology trends, Bill Buxton, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and author of Sketching User Experiences may have said it best:
"If history is any indication, we should assume that any technology that is going to have a significant impact over the next 10 years is already 10 years old!"
This theory holds true for several technologies. For example, the first mobile telephone call was made in 1946, many years before the first commercial cellular network was launched in 1979. GPS was in use for nearly 30 years in government and military programs before it became a must have for personal vehicle navigation. And, the formation of the Internet as we know it began in the 1980s, but wasn't truly incorporated into virtually every aspect of modern human life until a decade later.
Applying this premise to radio frequency identification (RFID) seems to hold true as well. The technology itself was well over 10 years old in 2004 when retail giants began pushing it as a means of driving efficiencies into their supply chains. While these initial retail programs didn't succeed according to plan, and mass adoption didn't happen the way many analysts predicted, these initiatives did kick off a high level of interest from retailers, product manufacturers and many other industries and markets focused on improving their business and service processes. Between 2004 and now, something else happened that makes one ask if RFID is ready to have that significant impact Buxton mentions."

East End Historical District
Association will host its 23rd
annual "A Victorian Christmas"
Homes Tour on
Friday, November 30 from 6:00
p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
architecture of Galveston's East
End reflects some of the state's
most notable examples of
residential Victorian
architecture with a variety of
styles and periods. This
year's tour will feature four
East End homes decorated for the
holiday season:
Sally Trueheart Williams Home,
1616 Broadway.
This Spanish Colonial Revival
style home was built in 1929.
This design style was
popularized during the
Panama-California Exposition in
San Diego in 1915. The
home was actually constructed in
the gardens of the Trueheart
Mansion, which was designed by
famed Texas architect, Nicholas
Clayton, in 1885. After
the death of the home's owner,
Henry Trueheart, his daughter,
Sally Trueheart Williams,
decided the mansion was too
large and expensive to maintain,
so she commissioned a smaller
home better suited to her needs.
The Trueheart Mansion was
demolished after completion of
the current home.
Browning K. Crowell House, 1127
Ball. This home
was built in 1888 in the Queen
Anne style. This
design style was popularized in
the late 19th century during the
Industrial Revolution, when the
expanding railroads allowed
pre-cut architectural details to
become available through much of
the nation. This home was first
owned by Galveston businessman
Browning K. Crowell. Mr.
Crowell was an executive with
various Galveston companies such
as Charles Clarke & Co., the
Texas and Gulf Steamship Company
and the Bowser Southern Dredging
Catherine & William Best
Home, 1128 Sealy.
This Victorian cottage was built
in 1874 and owned by German
immigrant William Best and his
wife, Catherine. Mr. Best
was Captain aboard the Steamship
Maddox. Mr. Best died in
1884, but Catherine continued to
own the home with her
son-in-law, Stanislaus Fagan, a
Galveston plasterer.
Alexander Allen House, 1118
Sealy. This
home was built in 1874 and owned
by Alexander Allen and his wife,
Elizabeth. Mr. Allen was a
marble contractor and monument
maker, and was dubbed "the
founder of the marble business
in Texas," having established
the state's first marble yard in
1852. Mr. Allen's partner
in the business was Charles S.
Ott, founder of Ott Monument
Works, the oldest memorial
business in Texas, currently in
its 5th generation of business,
located at 39th & Broadway.
Complementary East End sites
will aslo be included on the
Darragh Park, 15th & Church.
This park was built after a fire
destroyed Darragh House on this
site in the 1990s. The
property was donated by
Galveston Historical Foundation
to the East End Historical
District Association, and a
longtime association supporter,
Dr. E. Burke Evans, donated the
funds to build the wrought iron
gazebo. The association
maintains this park, along with
Alderdice Park at 15th &
Gustafson Cottage, 1501
Postoffice St. This
historic cottage was built by
Victor Gustafson, a Galveston
Wharves cotton screwman.
The cottage was partially
destroyed during the 1900 storm,
but Gustafson rebuilt and
enlarged it for his family.
The cottage was moved to
its current location from 6th
& Market in 1979 for use as
a community center for the
association. Refreshments
will be served at this location
by volunteers of the
Presbyterian Church, 1903 Church
Street. This
Romanesque building was designed
by prominent Galveston
architect, Nicholas Clayton, and
was constructed in 1872.
The church is considered
one of the best examples of
Norman style architecture in the
region. Its sanctuary has
been remodeled since Hurricane
Ike, and features breathtaking
stained glass windows, three of
which were designed by Louis
Comfort Tiffany. Homes
Tour ticket holders will enjoy a
variety of holiday music at the
church from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00
are $15, and are available
through The Grand 1894 Opera
House. To purchase tickets
call 409-765-1894 or

- Richard Scarrott1 noun [rich-erd sca-ret]
- 1. A London based Frontend Developer
JavaScript's onmouseover/onmouseenter event can often be too eager in that it'll fire even if your cursor just incidentally enters an element whilst moving to another area of the page. This is acceptable in the case of button rollover effects or any other unobtrusive actions but when it comes to more consequential actions it can, in some cases, be disruptive to the UX.
I've therefore written a mousestop event using jQuery's relatively un-touted special event API.
The example below demonstrates the difference between mouseenter and mousestop:
As you can see the mousestop event isn't fired until the mouse, well, stops. The event can be bound in the same way you would any other event:
$('#box').bind('mousestop', function() { // do stuff here });
It can then be unbound like this:
I've also included a shorthand method to keep the API in line with other jQuery events:
$('#box').mousestop(function() { // do stuff here });
Thanks to jQuery's special event API the event object is passed to the first parameter just like native events.
I've also made the sensitivity of the event (i.e. the amount of time the mouse needs to be stationary before the event is fired) global so it can be changed by adjusting the value of $.mousestopDelay in milliseconds:
$.mousestopDelay = 1000; // defaults to 50
This sensitivity can also be adjusted on a per element basis by passing a Number into the bind() or mousestop() methods:
$('#box-1').bind('mousestop', 1000, fn); $('#box-1').mousestop(1000, fn);
As this only uses the setup() and teardown() methods it'll work with jQuery 1.3+. For more information on compatibility and the special event API in general Ben Alman's write-up is well worth a read.
Feel free to use basic HTML to format your comment.
arijit says:
Hello, this is a great tool and exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks! One question: I need to get the mouse position on stop. Normally I would do this via e.pageX. In this case, it would look something like$("#mydiv").mousestop(50, function(e) { if (e.pageX > 500){ //do some stuff }});But it looks like mousestop is not allowing that method, and I get an undefined for e.pageX. I'm not adept enough at javascript to figure out why. Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks :)
Arijit says:
Hello! Just following up on the question I posted yesterday. Ran a simple test on your demo: jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $('#box-1').mouseenter(function(e) { alert('mouse entered '+e.pageX); }); $('#box-2').mousestop(function(e) { alert('mouse stopped '+e.pageX); }); });As you will see, add the 'e' to mouseenter produces the expected result, but adding it to mousestop breaks the function. I'll see if I can figure out why that is, but I'm a complete amateur at this.Thanks!
Guen44 says:
Hi,This plugin works fine but I've exactly the same problem as Arijit concerning pageX & pageY on mousestop event. e.pageX and e.pageY return the coordonates correctly on mousemove but the result becomes undefined using mousestop. Anyone has an idea to solve this problem. Many thanks
Doster says:
Thanks you soooo much for this! Just what I was looking for. Keep up all the hard work!
Souvick says:
I have a jcarousel image slider in my web page.all the images are coming dynamically. And when I mouse stop in any image that image displays in small popup(as in google NEWS section). I have used your jquery mouse stop event plugin API. No doubt its very good but I am facing a problem.when I mousestop on the image somtimes it display the image and sometimes not.can U tell me why this is happening??
Stan says:
for those that asked or more for those that are still looking. the easy way that I found to get the cursor position on stop is to assign the variable first:$(document).mousemove(function(e) {thispageX =e.pageX;thispageY =e.pageY; }); $(document).mousestop(function() {$('#status').append('~'+thispageX +', '+ thispageY); });Hope that helps!

MIAMI -- Forward Gerald Wallace will not play for the Brooklyn Nets against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night while he continues to recover from a sprained left ankle.
Nets coach Avery Johnson says Wallace' status is day-to-day, and that he'll be evaluated again before Brooklyn visits Orlando on Friday.
Wallace was hurt in the fourth quarter of the Nets' season-opener on Saturday against Toronto. He did not play in Brooklyn's loss to Minnesota on Monday.
Johnson says Wallace is "improving, but not improving at a rate where he could play in games."
Wallace scored 10 points in the opener for the Nets. He's averaged 16.1 points in 26 career appearances against the Heat.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

How to use glass to decorate your home?
Among the varied options available for home décor, glass is one of the most commonly used materials in our homes. The use of glass in home décor is regarded as a decorative element as well utilitarian. The most remarkable feature possessed by glass is that it makes the area light, bright and obscure. Glass is available in a myriad of forms and can be introduced in various parts of home.
Glass furniture – the easiest way to introduce glass in the interiors is through the introduction of glass furniture. The list of glass furniture that includes chairs, tables, mirror is simply vast. Table tops of glass in home offices and dining rooms impart an executive and sophisticated feel to the interiors. Alternatively, you may also pair glass with leather, wood or any other metal and impart an industrial chic feel to the room.
Use glass as an exterior material – in the earlier days, glass was only used in the walls to create a small opening in order to allow in light. However, today glass is widely used as an exterior material in commercial and high rise buildings. For your home, you may use glass for windows, doors and even as an exterior material in some parts. If you wish to retain privacy then you may use colored glass pieces, or else you may use transparent glass pieces and let in natural elements.
Glass in the kitchen – Modern interior designers have started using glass in unique ways and one of the ways is to introduce it in the kitchen area. Modern and sleek details can be added to the kitchen by getting the counter tops done in glass and installing glass tiles in the backsplash area. If you have your dining room and kitchen connected then you may divide both the areas by creating a wall of glass bricks. If you have a corner of the kitchen free then you may install hanging glass shelves that can be used for storing miscellaneous things.
Unique applications – Glass can be used to decorate the home through various accent pieces. You may place a glass photo frame on a side table or keep a glass vase with some flowers on the dining table. Alternatively, you may also hang glass paintings on the walls.

In 2011, German tuner, Gemballa , presented us with their new tuning program for the Porsche Panamera . Called the Mistrale , the modified luxury Porsche saloon was nothing short of remarkable. This year, those guys are headed back to Geneva with a reworked Mistrale, one that comes with a slight bump in horsepower from last year's model.
Aesthetically, the Mistrale's aerodynamic program appears to remain intact with all the major external carbon fiber body components still present in the project. The carbon fiber bonnet is still there, as are the doors, the front wings, and the front and rear bumpers. Moreover, the Mistrale still sports a set of lightweight 22" forged alloy wheels.
The main difference between this new model and last year's version is that the former comes with improved performance numbers. Gemballa still has a two-stage engine update available for the car with Stage 1 taking the Panamera's twin-turbo V8 engine all the way up to 610 horsepower and 626 lb/ft of torque. Stage 2 is where the improvement lies, from the 700 horsepower and 737 lb/ft of torque numbers up to 721 horsepower.
More information about the 2012 Gemballa Mistrale should be made available when Gemballa presents the car at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

Good product at a good price but kinda hard to apply, I ruined mine trying to apply it.
Great price. This product is excellent to protect from scrach the screen of my nook and doesn't notice that have screen protection.h
I'm not sure if it should be trimmed or left as is. It is larger than my nook HD screen.
Found it impossible to remove all the bubbles, after many tries. Biggest problem was cardboard smoother left scratches.
The screen protector come on a fairly rigid backer making it easier to apply

"We adore how these cards turned out. We ended up using them for our birth announcement even though he was born in April and it worked very well. The colors are very vibrant and the photo quality is excellent."
"We were looking for a combo birth announcement/Christmas card and this was perfect for our needs. I loved so many of the options available at this website, yet this was our favorite for our precious little girl. I really liked the paper quality for the professional pictures we used on the card. As well it looks very professional overall instead of a glossy picture card, which can look a little cheap. Everyone has commented how great the pics are, which means the pics are showcased well. That's what we wanted. Also like the feature of this card that it has print and picture options on the back. I will be coming back to shop on this site again for our family cards!"
"Great quality card stock. Design in back compliments nicely. I used sepia tone for pictures and it matched very well. Many compliments!"
"This was my first time ordering so I wasn't sure what to expect. The card was thick and looked exactly like the picture. I was so excited when they arrived early and everyone loves them."
"These birth announcement cards are beautiful! The paper is thick and of excellent quality, and the colors are vibrant and gorgeous. I had a hard time choosing a design because Tiny Prints has so many good ones, but I made a great choice. People loved these! I'm sure our little guy's announcement will be on our family and friends' fridges for a long time to come!"

Life is full of transitions, and starting a career in science is no exception. One of the major shifts that I faced was moving from my undergraduate to postgraduate studies, and this period was not without its difficulties. Below, I'll share some advice that will hopefully make the change smoother for others on the same path.
Be adaptable. I was first exposed to a research environment when I worked at the CSIR-National Laser Centre during my honors year. This was quite an eye-opening experience for me, as it was the first time I was at an institution whose primary objective was research output. As a result, I had to change my way of thinking. During my undergraduate studies, I was provided with a detailed, step- by-step syllabus. There is no such spoon-feeding as a postgrad student. This may seem daunting at first, but, as with any job, you adapt to the demands of your new situation.
Spending time in a laboratory also taught me that methodology is rarely set in stone. You try, you fail, and you come up with a new idea. Many postgrad students waste precious time fixating on a method that is not working. This is because, as undergraduates, we are conditioned to assume that our initial plan will not fail as long as it is approved by our supervisors. In graduate school, our supervisors are conducting the research alongside us, and therefore they do not already have the answers.
Manage your time. Cramming at the eleventh hour may work for undergraduates, but it won't in graduate school. Postgraduate studies demand discipline. Procrastination is a crime that we are all guilty of, but it is critical to work diligently to finish your thesis on time. You should set short-term goals for each day so that you are never stagnant. It is difficult to keep your enthusiasm up at all times, and without a stringent supervisor to encourage you to meet deadlines, you may find yourself taking many a three-week break. Bear in mind that a Ph.D. thesis cannot be completed the week before the due date. Slow and steady wins the race!
Network. In the world of research, networking is a useful way to advance your career. Whenever attending a conference or public lecture, mingle with researchers and fellow students. Try to discover everyone's areas of interest and get their opinions on your work. A simple conversation over coffee can lead to helpful collaboration. I find it intimidating to speak to someone who is much more senior in my field, so I break the ice with a topic that is not related to my research and gradually direct the conversation towards the topic I want to discuss.
Be curious and open. Postgrad studies require initiative, determination and the desire to learn. You can choose what you want to learn and use that information to make something new. Don't work in isolation. Instead, try to learn from everyone around you. There is a vast range of resources available, so make use of every opportunity on your way to success.

The beginning of my story is probably familiar to many of you. In late 2009, I was a University of Maryland Chemical Physics graduate student working in the Optical Tweezers (OT) Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., U.S.A. A typical day would consist of realigning the laser (turn knob, read meter, repeat), spending hours collecting data (make slide, turn knob, hit key, view screen, repeat), and partaking in the required physical functions of eating and sleeping (repeat as needed). I was the only person working in the OT lab, so the days were long and lonely. Music was my only companion.
The beginning of my story is probably familiar to many of you. In late 2009, I was a University of Maryland Chemical Physics graduate student working in the Optical Tweezers (OT) Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., U.S.A. A typical day would consist of realigning the laser (turn knob, read meter, repeat), spending hours collecting data (make slide, turn knob, hit key, view screen, repeat), and partaking in the required physical functions of eating and sleeping (repeat as needed). I was the only person working in the OT lab, so the days were long and lonely. Music was my only companion.
(Looking back, I realize that I didn't have it so bad, but at the time the combination of prolonged redundancy and solitude had started to make me crazy.)
Eventually, the day came when I decided it was time to move on. While I could have used another six months to a year to complete my Ph.D. thesis project, my desire to start a new career adventure outweighed my desire to formally finish. I started to think about the possibilities and search for positions.
After I determined that teaching was my primary goal, I received some excellent advice from my advisor: He suggested that I apply for one-year university teaching positions. He knew that, without a post-doc on my CV, it would be tough to land a tenure-track position right out of grad school. However, if I could get a year or more of university-level teaching experience under my belt, I might stand a chance of securing at least a semi-permanent position later on. Learning that I was pregnant in early 2010 heightened my determination to extreme levels.
In May of 2010, I was offered and accepted a one-year teaching position at Appalachian State University's department of physics and astronomy. After that, things began to move very quickly. I moved to Boone, N.C., and began a new job as a visiting assistant professor in August 2010, gave birth in September, wrote a Ph.D. thesis and defended it in November, and started a new research lab of my own in December.
With the help and support of my family and my new home department, I survived those months. I was able to establish the new optical tweezers lab at Appstate thanks to an equipment loan from NIST as well as a large deposit of optics equipment from the physics and astronomy department at Appstate. Currently, three undergraduates and two master's students are constructing and carrying out experiments there.
I am now teaching full time, juggling too many projects, and barely getting the necessary items completed. Still, I love my work and life here and I hope I can give back enough, or at least match, what I have been fortunate enough to receive.
What did I learn from this transitional experience that may benefit others? A few things:
• You can and will finish your Ph.D., although it may require extreme determination (or is it stubbornness?). That same quality will allow you to teach yourself multitudes throughout your career. Applying for and securing a job can give you a clear motivator to finish. It provides a very scary and realistic due date.
• Don't be afraid to teach for the first year out of your Ph.D. You can go from grad school to a professorship. You will learn as you go while getting the opportunity to live in a new and interesting place and strengthen your CV.
• It's okay to graduate without completely finishing all your projects. Open-ended experiments will give you something to work on right away when you move to the next institution.
• A good support system is critical. I recommend a spouse who is also a chef and stay-at-home dad.
• Time management is key. This means you won't get any sleep at all during the first semester of your teaching job—whether you have a newborn or not.
• Teaching and research in physics and astronomy is the best job in the world. The colleagues are all nice sane people (OK, maybe a little kooky, but in a good way) and the hours and location are somewhat flexible (you can work real late at home if you want to). In addition, at most universities, you have your summers off to pursue research, to teach for extra pay if you choose, and to take some time for you and your family.
And when you feel like your life really sucks, just remember—at least you're not realigning a laser … or at least not for long.

Do you know how well these things compost? I'd imagine it would take some time to get the material to break down, otherwise it might dissolve in your coffee.
Thanks for the comment.

While I don't run the composting on our campus, I have taken a few to my home to test this very theory. I would say spudware is www.drk-dillenburg.de somehwere between a hard winter squash and wood chips in compostability (yes, it should be a word).
Our campus uses a grinder on compost, so I would imagine increasing the surface area helps speed up the process. Also, they do kinda get floppy in hot coffee, so perhaps heat plus an acidic environment would speed up their disintegration. Of course, plastic knives and forks get this way too in hot beverages, but I would prefer leeching some potato starch in my tea over plastic!

I personnaly have tried these before, and their quite good, for eatign anyway, I don't know anything about how they decompse. They do have a subtle taste, though I'd say it doesn't really taste like potatoes. But the texture of buy propecia online from usa pharmacy the utensiles I find a little better than plastic ones, and they didn't have sharp edges to cut your tongue. >x

Smarter Training for Older Runners
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result: That's the definition of insanity! Yet, when I see how older runners train for long-distance endurance events such as the marathon, I can sense frustration in them by the fact that they can't get the same results now from the same kind of training they've always done.

Comments about Hohner Weekender Tremolo Harmonica (Key of C):
This is a sweet sounding harp for the money. Plays well, has a natural tremelo sound built in. 12 hole diatonic with 48 reeds. This harp hits a few extra notes that the 10 hole diatonics will not hit. Nothing against the 10 hole diatonics as they have there place too.

Comments about Hohner Weekender Tremolo Harmonica (Key of C):
I wanted to try out a tremolo harmonica, and this was inexpensive. Lesson learned, not very good. When I can justify a better tremolo, I will buy one of Hohner's better, German-made instruments.
Best Uses
Comments about Hohner Weekender Tremolo Harmonica (Key of C):
What a great value. Very large range of notes that most harmonicas do not come close to reaching. Only comes in C, but great harp to carry around with you. I have bought harps that cost much more than this, but always come back to this one.

Worried a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S5 won't turn enough heads? Maybe you should wait for the sparkly crystal edition.

ask not
"who art goes?"
"who are you,
who do you
believe yourself
to be?"
relish the unconscious
lies that roll liquid
off of tongues and
drip to the floor,
wipe them up,
squeeze them into
your own untruths
and bitter metaphors
when i see you time stands still so does time and space
you better believe ill never forget that face
you made right before you left
no smile no frown just a lil smirk
boy do i ever feel like a jerk
i swear i didnt mean
to do those things to you
but oh my is it true?
i see your red car pull in the drive
i smile i grin
should i let you in?
or should i tell you to go
man what should i do
she came back to me out of the blue
i feel so happy
but so ashamed
am i rly the one to be blamed?
i sigh in relief
my world has been turned around
mixed up and i was sent space bound
gasping for air
i fall to the floor
as you open the door
you run over quickly
and take my hand
this is better than my plan
i open my eyes to see you there
to see your beautiful face
i cannot believe you came back to this place
ashamed i look at a wall
man my mind plays tricks on me
its over its done time to set you free
goodbye my love ill miss you farewell
fading away to dark
on to this next journey to embark
goodbye my love
a simple smile even a playful wink
makes me yearn to know your name
the way you walk the sound of your voice
who is to blame if i want to steal your name?
who is to say i can't have you for me
its so easy you see this life is a game
care to take on another adventure of your life with me
it will take only a day of your time
every day for the rest of our lives we can live love and even lust for one another
join me its an adventure you will be a fool to pass
wont you take my hand as i lead us on our way
Stop Stressing. Start Living.
Stress affects each of us in different ways. You may have physical signs (such as tense or sore muscles), emotional signs (such as feeling helpless or depressed) or both.
Taking steps to manage stress has a double benefit. The actions you take will help you feel less stressed right away and more in control of your life, giving you a greater sense of well-being.
Here are four simple techniques for managing stress:
Positive Self-Talk
We all talk to ourselves; sometimes we talk out loud but usually we keep self-talk in our heads. Self-talk can be positive or negative.
Negative self-talk increases stress. Positive self-talk helps you calm down and control stress. With practice, you can learn to turn negative thoughts into positive ones.
- "I'll do the best I can"
- "I know how to deal with this; I've done it before"
Emergency Stress Stopper
- Count to 10 before you speak.
- Take three to five deep breaths.
- Walk away from the stressful situation, and say you'll handle it later.
- Go for a walk.
- Don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry" if you make a mistake.
- Set your watch five to 10 minutes ahead to avoid the stress of being late.
- Break down big problems into smaller parts. For example, answer one letter or phone call per day, instead of dealing with everything at once.
- Drive in the slow lane or avoid busy roads to help you stay calm while driving.
- Smell a rose, hug a loved one or smile at your neighbor.
Finding Pleasure
When stress makes you feel bad, do something that makes you feel good. Doing things you enjoy is a natural way to fight off stress.
Try to do at least one thing every day that you enjoy, even if you only do it for 15 minutes.
- Start an art project (oil paint, sketch, create a scrap book).
- Take up a hobby, new or old.
- Read a favorite book, short story, magazine or newspaper.
- Have coffee or a meal with friends.
- Play golf, tennis, or any other favorite sport of yours.
- Go for a bike ride.
- Listen to music during or after you practice relaxation.
- Take a nature walk — listen to the birds, smell the flowers, hug a tree (:
- Make a list of everything you still want to do in life, and do it!
- Watch an old movie on TV or rent a video.
- Play cards or board games with family and friends.
Daily Relaxation
Relaxation is more than sitting in your favorite chair watching TV. To relieve stress, relaxation should calm the tension in your mind and body. Some good forms of relaxation are yoga, tai chi (a series of slow, graceful movements) and meditation.
Deep breathing is a form of relaxation you can learn and practice at home using the following steps. It's a good skill to practice as you start or end your day.
- Sit in a comfortable position with your feet on the floor and your hands in your lap or lie down. Close your eyes.
- Picture yourself in a peaceful place. Perhaps you're lying on the beach, walking in the mountains or floating in the clouds. Hold this scene in your mind.
- Inhale and exhale. Focus on breathing slowly and deeply.
- Continue to breathe slowly for five minutes or more.
- Try to take at least five to 10 minutes every day for deep breathing or another form of relaxation.
and don't forget to LAUGH!!
Has mankind outgrown Earth?
A new report from the World Wildlife Fund says we're gobbling up the planet's resources at such an alarming rate that by 2030, even a second Earth wouldn't be enough to sustain us
Which resources are we depleting?
Renewables like fish, water, timber, and food are being used up much faster than previously thought. According to experts, mankind's "ecological footprint" is now over 50 percent higher than it was in 2008, meaning it takes 1.5 years for Earth to regenerate the natural resources we use up annually.
Why is our ecological footprint growing?
The world's population, which according to the U.N. surpassed 7 billion last October, is getting too big, and the average individual is using more than he or she needs. "The excessive demands that we are putting on the planet will inevitably lead to acute water shortages, a chronic food crisis, and rising prices for energy, metals, and minerals," says Robert Walker at the Huffington Post.

I remember the poems
you used to write, when
no one was looking.
And when the stars
were the dots on your eyes,
they filled the room with
Hollywood laser light shows.
The kind that send the ill
into foaming mouth fits,
and young children into
comas that last
until their friends,

In a strange sense, it is interesting that Hawaii is even being discussed in GOP circles, but such is the mood in politics this year.

How many laws have to be passed before you believe they are after your guns? President Obama and the left have an aggressive gun control agenda – and it's hiding plain sight.

Mind you, both the state Obamacare exchange AND the governor deserve it. The state Obamacare exchange for not working, and the governor for contributing to the general lack of function.

And by 'interesting' I mean favorable: The most obvious one is that Republican (and former Lt. Gov) Duke Aiona would in a rematch beat Neil Abercrombie 48-40 among registered voters. Charles Djou (running for Senate) has a favorable/unfavorable rating of 58/30, which is fairly close to Colleen Hanabusa's 62/27. Clearly, Hanabusa's is better, but not nearly by as much as I would have expected. And | Read More »

No, I never thought that I'd have the opportunity to write that out, either. But apparently this is the world that we live in, now: Hawaii senator Brian Schatz involved in simulated sheep rape rituals U.S. Senator Brian Schatz once led a fraternity that got into trouble with the law and animal welfare groups for threatening to sodomize a sheep.
This is the first of an eight part series on gubernatorial races in 2014 and where they stand at this point in time. Overall, Republican successes have been greater at the state/local level than at the national level as evidenced by senatorial and presidential losses in 2008, 2010, and 2012. At the state (governor and legislature) and the congressional district level, Republicans hold a comfortable | Read More »
The Senate elections in 2014 present yet another unique opportunity for the GOP to gain control of that body in Congress.

Just as a thought experiment imagine what would happen if the following scenario played out… A minority Republican Senator passes away.

BEYONCE Is Back!
BEYONCE is back! Back to work, that is.
Blue Ivy Carter's mom posed in a new spread in the February issue of Spain's DT Magazine to promote the two new albums she's collaborating with hip-hop mogul husband, Jay-Z, now that they both have another mouth to feed…
Don't you just love how that tight corset sets off Beyonce's lactating breasts?
Owing to the fact that she and Jay-Z are anxious to get back in the studio and crank out some new tunes, Beyonce is working double time to shed the pregnancy weight since she gave birth last month. She's working out everyday and has lost 14 pounds already!
Beyonce is currently in talks about her next two albums, and it seems she isn't interested in the music that's headlining 2012.
"All I can say is that you kind of feed her the best that you have and she's this phenomenal filter and takes it all in… she's not interested in 2012, she's [interested in] what's going to sound good for 2013,"
One Republic's singer/songwriter, Ryan Tedder, who's working with Beyonce on two separate albums told AOL's The Boombox.
"Without question she steers the ship. [With Beyonce] you just let her go — she's ridiculous, she's the best."
Looks like we have great things to expect from Beyonce this year…and all throughout the next.
What are you betting her gorgeous new baby has given her a different kind of high…

Hollywood-based cybersecurity company Prolexic Technologies is being acquired by publicly traded Akamai Technologies for $370 million in cash, the companies announced Monday.
Prolexic provides cloud-based security solutions for protecting data centers and enterprise applications from so-called distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Akamai already provides services to defend websites and applications but did not offer a solution for protecting data centers so this will be a "synergistic" and important extension of the company's security offerings, Akamai CEO Tom Leighton said in a morning conference call with analysts. Today organizations require comprehensive security solutions that address many different protection scenarios, including securing mission-critical web properties and applications from attack, as well as protecting the full suite of enterprise IP applications — including email, file transfers and VPN — across a data center, the companies said.
Prolexic currently serves about 400 customers in a variety of industries, particularly financial services. Jim Benson, CFO of Akamai, would not disclose Prolexic's 2012 revenues or growth rate, but said Akamai expects "rapidly growing" Prolexic to be "roughly a $50 million revenue business this year."
Under terms of the agreement, Cambridge, Mass.-based Akamai will acquire all of the outstanding equity of Prolexic in exchange for a net cash payment of approximately $370 million, after expected purchase price adjustments, plus the assumption of outstanding unvested options to purchase Prolexic stock.
The transaction, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the first half of 2014. The deal is one of the largest for South Florida technology companies this year.
Prolexic, which launched in 2003, has about 200 employees. Leighton said Akamai expects the current management and employees to continue in their roles as part of Akamai after the transaction closes and that the Broward facilities will be Akamai's third "center of excellence." Others are in Massachusetts and Israel.
"Today, business is defined by the availability, security and latency of Internet-facing applications, data and infrastructure," said Scott Hammack, CEO at Prolexic. "Being able to rely on one provider for Internet performance and security greatly simplifies resolution of network availability issues and offers clients clear lines of accountability. We believe that, together, we will be able to deliver an unprecedented level of network visibility and protection."

The USA Elite National Team, which included four of Georgia's top high school basketball players, won the Under-17 championship while also finishing fourth overall in the Under-19 division at the FIBA Americas Tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Here are quick hits on the Georgia players:
Willie Clayton, Thomasville: The 6-foot-8 junior averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds, and he is being recruited by UGA, Florida State, Auburn, Memphis and Stanford. Clayton has a 3.8 GPA. "He really caught everyone's attention with a strong performance against a 7-footer from Brazil who I think could one day be an NBA lottery pick if he comes to the U.S.," Elite coach Linzy Davis said. Clayton squared off against Greater Atlanta Christian's Malcolm Brogdon — arguably Georgia's No. 1 rising senior basketball prospect, ahead of the Milton trio — in this past season's Class AA state championship. Clayton finished with 12 points, while Brogdon scored both a game-high 25 points and the championship trophy.
Mike Stephenson, Victory Christian School of Conyers: The 6-5 junior combo guard is relatively unknown among college scouts — at least for now. "I consider him a Jalen Rose-type player," Davis said. "He's very athletic, can shoot the 3-pointer and defends very well. He has got emerge with the toughness of Rose, and he is getting there … He is emerging as a college prospect. A lot of coaches don't know about him know. But I promise you he will end up being a major-college prospect."
Mark Jones, Savannah's Calvary Day: The 6-foot junior plays point guard and has heavy interest from College of Charleston, among others.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay Packers' defense is hurting, but team officials are confident the young guys will step up.
Coach Mike McCarthy says linebackers Clay Matthews and Brad Jones are out with injuries for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Third-year pro Jamari Lattimore is slated to make his first NFL start for the injured Jones (hamstring). The undrafted defensive end from Middle Tennessee State converted to outside linebacker when he signed with the Packers in 2011.
McCarthy says Matthews will miss three to four weeks for surgery on his thumb. Nick Perry is scheduled to take over Matthew's spot, while Mike Neal will fill the left side.
