vacation rental description
Please note: Our calendar is not always up to date, as we do not make updates to this site every week. Please let us know what week you are interested in - if a week shows as booked, there is always the possibility there was a cancellation.
Unique 100-year old beach home (circa 1906) - affectionately named The Hula House - with authentic tropical/Hawaiian decor, 1.5 blocks to the beach. Bike down to Cape Henlopen State Park, walk into town and shop the eclectic boutiques along Main Street, drive 3 miles down the road to Rehoboth Beach's Boardwalk. You can't compare when it comes to our decor, as there is nothing like The Hula House! Pet friendly for most "good dogs," sorry, no kitties or any other animals. The maximum occupancy is 8.
We enjoy sharing The Hula House with family and friends - and the majority of our renters have become friends! We're very proud that over 85% of our renters choose to return to The Hula House as repeat guests. Please keep in mind that this is our home where we too enjoy spending relaxing vacations throughout the year, and that it is filled with vintage decor and special accents. Our expectation is that guests treat the house respectfully, and collectively help to maintain its character and cleanliness. We continually strive to update the house and make it a comfortable retreat for all that visit, which has helped us to maintain one of the highest number of summer AND off-season bookings in Lewes for over 10 years!! Thank you in advance for treating the house and furnishings as you would your own (or at least as you would a good friend's home). Well-behaved children, and most pups, are always welcome.
Compare our property to others in Lewes - we offer the best rate for a house of this size and close proximity (walking distance) to the water! FOUR bedrooms and TWO full baths! AND, the decor can't be compared to ANY other home in Lewes!
The furnishings and vintage decor of The Hula House make it unsuitable to leave children unsupervised. Persons under the age of 21 should be under the supervision of a mature adult; young children should never be left unattended, due to the risk of damage to the house during horseplay or curious small hands (examples: knocking vintage pottery pieces from shelves, pulling down vintage hula skirts which are mounted on the home's walls including bedrooms). Damage insurance does not cover intentional damages such as the examples above, and the tenant agrees to be fully responsible.
As with our own pups, dogs are not allowed free roam of the house. When indoors, they are restricted to the large kitchen, which has a HUGE kennel in it, and also a baby gate.
We accept payments through PayPros (credit cards and echecks verified and accepted through PayPros) or personal check in some instances.

activities and attractions in Lewes Delaware
The town of Lewes is a true gem in Delaware - quiet but progressive, where the sun, the sand, and the sea are still the number one attractions. Lewes was founded in 1631, and the townspeople take great pride in its historic heritage. Lewes is uniquely situated where the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean meet at Cape Henlopen. Nowhere can the beauty of Cape Henlopen State Park be equaled. In this preserved land you find miles of beautiful beaches, nature trails and bird sanctuaries.
Enjoy Lewes by foot, as it is indeed a walking town. Within a half-square mile you will find the Historic district, museums, fine restaurants, and some great shops!

A discussion about this on another forum got me thinking. Hypothetically, if the physiological effects of alcohol were not present, would people still enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages? Surely yes, now that we've been conditioned to like it. But I wonder if we found a sample of people raised in a non-alcohol-philic society (assuming there is one), and presented them with a variety of alcoholic beverages, they would enjoy any of them. Whatever they decide, is it despite the taste of alcohol, or because of it?
My guess is they wouldn't enjoy it. Alcohol is poison to us (and most other organisms as far as I know), right? So it would be only natural for us to find the taste offensive.
But on the other hand, fermented beverages also last because of that very same reason. And many people unknowingly took advantage of that fact to preserve beverages - wine, beer, etc. So maybe over the millennia of surviving on alcohol, we (or certain populations) have grown a penchant for it?
Views: 2058
I was raised in a Baptist "non-alcohol-philic society". We never had any alcohol in the house. The church that we went to was a "dry" church. No one drank alcohol. (I found out later that was not entirely true.) My mom is 85 and she's never had any alcohol in her entire life. I didn't drink until I was 21. I'm 59 now.
I don't have any understanding how people can stand the taste of hard liquor. I can just barely tolerate the taste of beer. Wine and champaign are not much better. I got shit-faced drunk three or four times when I was in my twenties. That was about the extent of my driking. I will have an occasional drink at social occasions but I don't keep any alcohol in the house.
I didn't drink coffee until I was 40. At the time I thought that the taste was nearly as bad a alcohol. But I've developed a taste for it now. I always look forward to a fresh brewed cup when I get to work in the morning.
I have three sons who are in their 20's. They all used to hate coffee. But two of them have been seduced by it's flavorful aroma. The third still won't drink it.
Love the smell of coffee...just smelling it gives me a high (little worrying, so I don't drink it much). I hate the taste of coffee though...thank commercialism for Starbucks' Frap's. I'm just as repulsed by the taste and smell of alcohol but haven't found a good mixed drink to mask it...
I think the majority of people wouldn't take to alcohol just for the taste, except perhaps those in adulthood. Once your tastes mature, you've burned away some of your more delicate taste buds, or you get bored with the normal fare, new things begin to appeal to you.
I love alcoholic drinks but not alcohol per se, although I like the taste of alcohol in the background. No, it's not just the buzz. But a glass of vodka, much less pure alcohol (which might be caustic)...no.
I think the original beverages were mildly alcoholic, probably not any more bitter than other foods people ate. The effects of this were pleasant and lead to inventing ways to up the alcohol content and the drunk. After a certain point the desire to be drunk was the main factor in the beverage creation and the conditioning you mentioned took over.
I agree. I remember forcing down alcohol and then growing to enjoy it. I now love the taste of red wine and nothing compares to it but I did not at first. Then the neurologist tells me 'You can probably reduce your migraines significantly if you avoid red wine and chocolate.' Just kill me now, why don't you? It couldn't be carrot juice and rice cakes I need to avoid could it? The same is true of smoking, I think. I was a smoker for years but at first I had to put up with coughing and feeling dizzy and sick before I got used to it - why did I do that, why? Most animals would not smoke or drink - they would know instinctively that this was poisoning them. Its humans with their brains which do so much good and so much harm who do this?????
I'm right there with you on the migraines. In my experience, chocolate does not cause the migraine, only makes it worse (in pain level or in duration) if I eat it after the migraine has started. Other things that can make it worse are microwave popcorn (this might actually cause them once in a while), sugar (candies), smells (even if I usually like the smell- but especially perfumes, etc.), and light (even if it's not particularly bright-but especially sunlight or flashing light).
I have noticed a small improvement since I started drinking a mug of coffee everyday. My doctor actually tried to convince me it was the coffee causing the migraines, even after I told him I've been having migraines since I was 6, and I didn't start drinking coffee till I was 33 or so. How exactly does that work?
Also, I take a Naproxen 500 as needed. It doesn't take it away completely, but it does seem to help.
I find coffee helps too and I find that I know when chocolate and wine are a bad idea - if I'm full of beans it won't do any harm, slightly washed out and its a definite no-no. Anyway, in defence of red wine - it gives you iron and de-oxidizes, that's the reason I drink it, honest!
I can offer a somewhat unique perspective on this one. I was raised in a non-alcoholic society: the Mormon Church. My family likes to think they are very devout Mormons. I was taught (as a child) that if I were to ever taste alcohol, I would not be admitted into heaven. I was taught (frequently) about the evils of alcohol, and the foolishness of those who did partake in (even an occasional) drink.
My first taste of alcohol was Gold Schlaggers in a coke when I was 18. I liked the taste of that. When I tried wine, beer, rum, and tequila, I did not like the taste--at all!
I do like a vodka in a Dr. Pepper once in a while--but rarely, and only one drink.
I do not like cocktails or specialty drinks served in restaurants (such as Ruby Tuesday's and Olive Garden, etc.).
I do like the taste of Grasshoppers (minty, chocolatey, and ice-creamy) and Golden Cadillacs (Galliano, White Creme de Cacao, and light cream) however, it does seem to be a bit strong on the Galliano.
A really good indicator for me is the smell. I can tell by the smell if I'm going to like it.
Wine and beer in past centuries were often the only safe liquids to drink if you lived in a populated area. I personally dont drink often at all. Champagne maybe once every four-six months. Beer, ale, stout I dont care for. Am spoiled because I have access to great Sierra water from my tap.
While I dont eat much meat, I do use red wine when cooking beef or white wine when cooking some chicken dishes. But drinking either wine doesnt appeal to me. It must be an acquired taste.
Good quality Tenn whiskey, single malt scotch, and quality tequila, drink straight or on the rocks.
I will have one or two drinks if at a gathering, not something I do daily or even once a week. I do like the flavor.

Obama at the Edge
Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside the Obama White House
The success of Barack Obama and the Democrats during last year's lame-duck session of Congress gave the President some badly needed stability after the comprehensive "shellacking" his party took in the election. The coordination between the White House and the party's congressional leaders seemed much stronger than before. Even some Republicans decided to take governing seriously, with an astonishing thirteen of them voting for the "New Start" arms treaty. What remains a bit of a mystery is what Obama himself has learned over his first two years—and how he will govern in the face of a hostile and far more hard-line Republican caucus.

"When I came into the process of shooting this film I was much more terrified of guns than I am now," says actress Trieste Kelly Dunn. Dunn stars as 'Allie' in the new film "Loves Her Gun" from Austin-based director Geoff Marslett. The movie follows a broken Brooklynite as she leaves her New York home after getting mugged, to tag along with a group of ragtag musicians. Eventually she settles in Austin, but "her paranoia follows her," Dunn says.
San Antonio business leaders have returned home optimistic after a week-long lobbying trip to Washington.
Business leaders, along with officials from the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, target certain projects and issues every year as Congress starts looking at new legislation.
On Saturday, February 9 there was a sold out crowd at the Boerne Performing Arts presentation of The 5 Browns. The piano quintet is comprised of five sibling Juilliard pianists, two brothers and three sisters.
Since being dubbed the "Fab Five" by People Magazine, the group has been featured on Oprah, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, Today, and The Tonight Show.
Each week on World Music (Saturday nights from 8-10 on KSTX 89.1 FM), I take a look at festivals happening around the world along with the music of the cultures they represent. This week, we're ridding the land of evil spirits in Japan, and celebrating St. Joseph in Spain.
Unemployment figures released Friday had bad news and good news for Texas.
The good news is that over the past year, unemployment in the state has declined almost a full percentage point and remains below the national rate of 7.9 percent for January.
The bad news is that unemployment rose slightly in Texas for the month of January to 6.3 percent; prior to January, the jobless rate had been declining for six months.
Last year San Antonio Police reported that dozens of people were struck and killed crossing busy roadways. As a result, Police Chief William McManus instituted stricter jaywalking policies.
However, people continued illegally crossing the street, and one area where it kept happening was on Fredericksburg Road, which sees more than 16,000 cars each day.
There's a mounting effort at the Capitol in Austin to try to find a way to do something about Medicaid, the joint state and federal health program for children, the disabled and the very low income.
Early in the week there were rumors that the House GOP caucus was going to vote in favor of expanding Medicaid in line with the Affordable Care Act.
State Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin, is hoping to changing the way the Lower Colorado River Authority does business. She has authored a set of bills -- HB 585 and HB 635 -- which would submit the LCRA's operations and its board members before the Sunset Advisory Commission.
A law being floated in the Texas House would require college students to perform community service before they would be allowed to graduate.
San Antonio Representative Trey Martinez Fisher says he wrote the bill with one objective in mind.
"We want to make sure our students are coming out of college with a well-rounded experience"
Martinez Fischer points out that there needs to be a meaningful experience for students that is outside of the academic framework.

The world we inhabit supports an endless cycle of life. It has been this way since long before we were born and will continue so long after we are gone. The circle pendant symbolizes this cycle and how important it is as individuals to do what we can to help out and keep the cycle going. Turquoise, known as a protective stone, serves as a reminder to protect the world around us, not only the environment but the people that we love.

Can you tell us what the boiler temperature is doing during the cycles, and also during the times when the t-stat is calling for heat but the radiators are cool?
The on/off cycles are most likely the boiler hitting the high temp cutoff (which shuts the burner off), then dropping back down to the low limit (which fires the burner). The output of the radiators is not enough to satisfy the t-stat before the boiler hits the cutoff temperature.

Contrary to recent reports claiming that embryonic stem cells can generate insulin-producing cells, a Scandinavian study has found that this is not the case.
Although differentiated insulin-containing cells contain immunoreactive insulin, they do not contain proinsulin-derived C-peptide. There is variable insulin release from these cells upon glucose addition, but C-peptide release is never detected. Also, many of the insulin-immunoreactive cells are disintegrating or dying.
The study indicates that C-peptide biosynthesis and secretion should be demonstrated to claim insulin production from embryonic stem cell progeny.

Introducing the Mcgyan process
In March 2008, at its second press conference this year, Augsburg announced the discovery of a new process to produce biodiesel that is much cleaner, more effective, and less costly than current methods. The Mcgyan process—named for its three inventors, Clayton MCNeff '91, Arlin GYberg, and Ben YAN—uses plant materials or waste oils and produces no by-products or pollutants.
The discovery began with summer research by chemistry major Brian Krohn '08, working with Gyberg and McNeff's SarTec Corp. Since production using the McGyan process can significantly impact the global market, Augsburg and the scientific team received a great deal of press, both local and regional.

Nancy Steblay, Psychology
Identifying the bad guys—research in police lineups (April 2008)
If you're guilty, Nancy Steblay wants you to get noticed. Last year the Augsburg psychology professor was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct research in eyewitness accuracy.
Steblay says her research reflects an interest she's had in eyewitness accuracy for many years. "Lineups are most interesting to me because they involve procedures that the criminal justice system cannot adjust in order to reduce the likelihood of false evidence," said Steblay. "My interest in lineups really strengthened as DNA post-conviction exonerations began to show up in the mid-90s. The most common cause of wrongful conviction in these cases is eyewitness error."
Steblay has completed research on a number of topics in eyewitness accuracy including forensic hypnosis, eyewitness forensic memory fallibility, and areas of forensic psychology. She hopes her current integrated lab and field research will translate and that she finds "a way to reduce the risk of false identification of innocent suspects while increasing the likelihood that the guilty will be identified."

Auggies test the skies above downtown (March 2008)
Earlier this month, two students in professor Gary Egbert's general physics lab went to the top of one of the tallest buildings in downtown Minneapolis to conduct a laboratory experiment. Ashley Gruhlke and Michael Schmit measured the change in atmospheric pressure with altitude from the 15th to the 54th floor of the 225 South Sixth Building. The building's engineer, Frido Verkman, accompanied them.
Gruhlke and Schmit first took pressure readings in the basement and on the roof of Mortenson Hall, but after seeing only a slight difference, they knew they needed to go higher. They contacted Minneapolis building managers and found Verkman willing to help.
Gruhlke said she never imagined being able to conduct an experiment while hanging over the edge of a building and looking 850' down onto the downtown traffic. "I am excited to continue this research," she said, "and see how we could really combine our classroom knowledge with our first-hand experience."
Egbert added that the students' experience taught them not only about atmospheric pressure, but also that people in the community are willing to engage with them in the learning process. "The exciting part of the trip was to actually be able to go to that height and make the measurement but also to just see the view, and Augsburg, from the roof location," said Egbert.
The building, formerly the headquarters to U.S. Bancorp, is a distinguishing feature of the Minneapolis skyline — it has a round, lighted "crown" on top. Unofficially, 225 South Sixth is the second tallest building downtown, rumored to be just one foot shorter than the IDS Center.

Bringing Wind Power Down To Earth
There's been a lot of energy behind wind power these days, with talk of larger and more dramatic installations every week. But this may leave you wondering, what does it have to do with me? Would I ever want one of these giant towers in my backyard or on my business? Noble though the idea is, for many, this is not an appealing or feasible option, due to space limitations or code restrictions. But then you may wonder, would a micro turbine make a notable dent in my energy needs?
Last week while at the Green California Summit, I saw a beautiful and practical solution to this: Helix Wind. With its elegant, rippled white shape, and the ability to work with any wind greater then 4.5 mph, requiring only 14 feet in height, these turbines bring it all home, literally.
How much power do they bring? 1KW for personal, 2KW for businesses, enough to meet as much as half your energy needs. There's no need to have a battery to store the power generated as in solar panels, as "net metering," or power metering that accounts for energy put back into the grid as well as what's used, can be used as credit towards your energy costs.
There are many micro turbines out there, but none has the unique undulating helix form of this. So? Beyond being aesthetically interesting, this enables it to catch air from any direction, more efficiently, with less needed. The unique shape apparently is also, they claim, completely safe for birds – one of the stumbling blocks to greater implementation of such devices. Silencing other critics is the fact that it's, well, silent in operation.
Now what about cost, rebates?
To see them in action, have a look at this, below:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/q9flSPAdOLk" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
So, is wind right for you or your business? With systems such as Helix Wind's, it's looking more and more so every day.

"With systems such as Helix Wind's, it's looking righter every day."
I love how the very first and only thing on the mind of anyone talking about the cost of renewables is how to bilk the taxpayer for them! Go ahead, cheat, steal and scam. Bunch of thieving scummy wankers.
They produce only 1 kW for home use? Let's see… if the average home has 100-amp service, multiply by 110 Volts, that's 11 kW… even given that a home is not going to use that much power except in peak situations, I can't see this making that much of a dent in the electric bill, especially considering the cost of the system.
Reread the first sentence: "So, is wind right for you or your business?"
Meanwhile, apparently you are fine with all the subsidies the oil companies get? Do some research and get your head out of your a$$.
Speaking of scummy wankers, maybe you should give a rest.
Have a nice day.
"They produce only 1 kW for home use? Let's see… if the average home has 100-amp service, multiply by 110 Volts, that's 11 kW… even given that a home is not going to use that much power except in peak situations, I can't see this making that much of a dent in the electric bill…"
According to my bill, I average 24-26kWh/day, which if I understand that right, it's about 1000W (1kW) per hour. Agreed it wouldn't run the oven or the central air…but those aren't on 24×7, so it would even out. I think 1kW back into the grid would definitely make a dent!
Richard muttered, "I love how the very first and only thing on the mind of anyone talking about the cost of renewables is how to bilk the taxpayer for them!"
Richard, what do the following things have in common?
Height, power output, minimum wind requirement, shape/aesthetics, net metering, and silent operation.
Answer: They were all mentioned in the article before anything about tax credits. And before you blow out another gust of angry, politically-motivated wind, note that net metering is a topic also related to the practical costs of harnessing wind energy.
So…first thing? Nope.
Only thing? Nope.
Get your facts straight (and lose the childish name-calling), and perhaps people will at least take seriously your political concerns.
I thought he said "brighter" which would make more sense :).
1kW at peak wind is close to useless for most households. Anything on a 14 foot tall tower isn't going to give a reliable enough energy flow without batteries for much of anything, unless you have it located on the top of a cliff on the coast of Newfoundland.
This is Ian, I'm the CEO of HelixWind, maybe I can provide some clarification to some of the comments.
First, the systems don't rely on taxpayer incentives to be economically viable. At 7m/s average annual wind speed, $0.15/KWh average electricity cost and mounted at 30 feet the turbine will payback in 15 years or less. That's a conservative estimate and assumes we don't see a huge spike in utility prices and that you only have the minimum of wind. Anything above is gravy and shortens payback times.
Second, an average American house uses 10,000 KWh/year of electricity. A good energy efficient home uses 4-6,000 KWh/yr of electricity. Our residential 1kW system installed with 7m/s average wind produces about 2,000KWh/year of electricity. You can install them in arrays if needed, so the output can add up over the course of a year, if you've got the wind available.
Third, wind turbines aren't a silver bullet, they don't solve all problems, they are good applications under specific conditions to help solve some of the problems we're facing in the world. If you have those conditions, then this is a good solution, if you don't it's not, but we need a toolbox of different solutions to work on the problems that face us, this is merely one of them…
Pingback: meneame.net
As an energy researcher, my prior research shows a typical American consumes about 2.5kWh on average, with 10-12 kw peaks, so a 1KW turbine would offset a good amount of grid power demand.
No one is being bilked. If you don't agree that tax policy should be used by YOUR elected representatives to incent tax payers to use less fossil fuel energy then engage in the political process. I'm sure they'll be happy to listen to your pithy argument that we should as a nation continue down our present path.
So how much is the dang thing?
Can one install as a dyi? or is a contractor needed.?
Excellent question! On the Products page it would seem to be the place to list it, but it's absent. Here, from the discussion about the article on reddit, is what the CEO said:
"Currently, small wind is about 1/2 the cost of solar (HelixWind is $3.33-$4.00/watt installed, solar is about $7.95/watt installed). After rebates, in California, HelixWind is $1.66-$2.33/watt installed, solar is about $4.25. That being said, the cost of solar (and also with small wind) will likely decrease in the future as production capacity comes online. For solar there is a global silicon shortage which makes price drops unlikely for at least another year unless a different manufacturing tech comes online. Small wind doesn't face the same materials shortages. However the big differentiator between the two technologies, which often goes unspoken, is the footprint. A HelixWind 5kW rated system has a footprint of 6 sq. ft. or so, the equivalent solar system requires 750 sq. ft., which can create permitting and siting difficulties when you get to arrays that large."
That, and all the rest, are at http://reddit.com/info/6g9rg/comments/
Ian (the CEO) seems like an friendly enough guy. I'd just write and ask. And perhaps encourage them to post prices. It's been asked a few different times, here, on reddit, on digg…
Pingback: Bringing Wind Power Down To Earth » The Green Rocket
When I was researching a vertical residential turbine, the issue that came up constantly was the height of the turbine. Wind experts were citing a physics argument as to why this particular turbine would not work as stated. In addition, they told me lower speed winds did not seem to amount to much energy being produced. Both my experts cautioned me to obtain third party verification of output and energy produced.
I would be curious what Ian's answer would be to their arguments. Anna http://www.green-talk.com
Hi Anna, you raise excellent points and in fact anyone considering buying a small wind turbine should make sure that the output has been independently verified by a third party. We have done this to confirm the efficiency of our turbines (see the video to be posted shortly on YouTube and our website). What you find when you look across the small wind turbine spectrum is that all of them fall within a fairly narrow range of efficiency, about 7 percentage points overall. The biggest contributor to annual output is the amount of swept area (amount of blade area intercepting the wind) that can be attached to the generator at any given mounting height, and of course, average annual wind speed.
Your experts are also right about there not being much power produced at low wind speeds, however this has little to do with the Helix design and more to do with the physics of the amount of power available in the wind. You need at least 7m/s average wind speed at hub height for Helix units to be worthwhile (assuming you're paying $0.15/kWh or more). Below that our product just isn't a good investment for you. If anyone is claiming they can generate significant power below 5m/s you should definitely ask to see there 3rd party validated data…in fact, I'd like to see it too :-).
Pingback: Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines: The Future of Micro Wind? with video - The Environment Site Forums
Its a wise comment that the solution is not in one technology, but on all the technologies that are available. A serious draw-back is the discontinuity of the production. Therefore such systems should be combined with widely distributable storage systems. Are small hydrogen production systems an option?
I live in Southern California in a 28,000 sq.ft., home. Where is a dealer/installer close to me, and what would be the installation cost?
Hey Ian and everyone else,
I think my comments are accurate. Feel free to drag me through the dirt if I am not. 7 m/s is about 16 mph. The average wind speed in the US is about 10 mph and there are very few places in the US where the average wind speed is greater than 16 mph. (Amazingly MT Washington, NH averages about 30 mph) Now the difference between 10 mph and 16 mph may not seem like much until you consider that there is a factor of three for wind velocity in relation to energy.
So 10 mph = 10^3 = 1000
And 16 mph = 16^3 = 4096
Therefore, a difference in 6 mph or about a 60% increase in wind speed is equal to 4 times more energy.
I'm not a physicist so I'm not completely confident in these numbers. If anyone can refute any of these comments, please do.
Best regards everyone and a cheers to us finding a solution one day to clean energy.
How much do they cost, How much is the yearly maintance.
congratulation for your beutifull helix design, It works fantastic. I can negociate my designs for high efficiant blades vertical with wind direction,when against it and automatic or mechanically blade face off when opposit to the wind direction. I also have design for turbines specialy for very high speed winds. We can materialize these ideas and design and make patents together.
Look at what the first telephone did and what they do now.
Wind power is a renewable energy source and it can be harnessed. There is no doubt.
And improvements will come, no matter how many people say that it will not work!

Manny Pacquiao's wife, mother say he should retire
Manny Pacquiao's wife and mother said the Filipino fighter should retire after Saturday's knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez.
"When you see your husband get hurt, you cannot even sleep," Jinkee Pacquiao, Manny's wife, said in an interview on the GMA Network that aired Monday in the Philippines.
Jinkee was highly emotional Saturday following the knockout, weeping inconsolably as she attempted to climb into the ring to reach her fallen husband after a counter right hand from Marquez left him face down and unconscious on the canvas for nearly two minutes.
Does that mean she wants Pacquiao, the first and only eight-division champion in boxing history, to retire?
"You know the answer to that," she told the interviewer, according to Agence France-Presse. "He knows what I am asking him".
Pacquiao's mother Dionisia was more direct in a separate interview on the same network.
"I have long asked you son, it is time to retire because you started boxing at such a young age. I always pray that he will stop. I asked God to tell my son to stop," she said.
Dionisia had previously blamed Pacquiao's defeat — his first by way of knockout since 1999 — on the religious recommitment he's undergone over the past year, attributing his lost sleep to late-night Bible studies with "Protestant pastors."
"That's what he gets for changing his religion," she said, a quote that led a front-page story in Monday's Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Pacquiao turns 34 on December 17. He's amassed a record of 54 wins, six losses and two draws with 38 knockouts since turning pro as a 106-pounder in 1995.

E-mail is ruining my life!
Mar 07, 2008 11:48 AM »
E-mail is ruining my life!
BBC Money Programme
Two million e-mails are sent every minute in the UK. That is almost three billion each day. But what is the real cost of this information overload?
We can spend up to half our working day going through our inbox, leaving us tired, frustrated and unproductive.
A recent study found one-third of office workers suffer from e-mail stress.
And it is expensive, too. One FTSE firm estimated that dealing with pointless e-mails cost it £39m a year.
Now firms are being forced to help staff deal with the daily avalanche in their inboxes. Some hire e-mail consultants, while others are experimenting with e-mail free days.
Ray Tomlinson is not a household name, but perhaps he should be. Ray was responsible for the e-mail revolution.
In 1971, he developed the code that enabled him to send an e-mail between two computers for the first time.
He says: "I do feel proud of this accomplishment. In some sense it was such a simple thing to do at the time, but it has had ramifications through many people's lives. What I didn't anticipate is how fast it would grow once it started growing."
Paperless pioneer
Ray's aim was to make it possible to communicate between computers.
"At the time, it was possible to send messages to other users on the same computer, and because these computers were expensive they had many, many users, typically in the hundreds," he says.
"And so you could send it to a user on the same computer but not on a computer elsewhere."
His creation was a short, 200-line programme, to which he added the @ symbol.
Spam is a problem... there just seems to be an endless stream of it
Ray Tomlinson
"The @ sign was an obvious choice to me anyway, because what I was looking for was a character that I could put between the name, or the login name of a person, and the name of the computer that he was on.
"The @ sign, at least in English, means 'at'. It's a preposition, it designates where this person is in some sense, and so it was kind of an obvious choice."
Electronic mail was born. Businesses immediately realised the potential of this paperless, near-instant form of communication.
And changing the way we communicate changed the way we worked.
This technology also has its downside. It's too easy to write an e-mail and hit the send button.
Is e-mail the appropriate tool for collaborative working?
And when an e-mail goes wrong, it can be around the world in 80 seconds and headline news the next day.
On average, we spend 52 hours a year just dealing with our junk mail.
That's not something that Ray Tomlinson anticipated. "Spam is a problem," he admits.
"Some people unfortunately have been hit with a form of spam in which there just seems to be an endless stream of it coming in - and that is unfortunate."
Cutting down
Professor Cary Cooper advises the government on stress in the workplace. Britons take 14 million sick days due to stress every year. He believes e-mail is a major source of employee anxiety.
"E-mail inboxes are causing employees concern, because of the number of e-mails and the poorly written e-mails. They really want to find some sort of solutions for these problems," he says.
"We are 24/7, we are interfaced by the mobile phone, by Blackberrys, by e-mails, by a whole range of technologies, so that we are almost on call all the time.
"For me, e-mail is one of the most pernicious stressors of our time."
City accountancy firm Deloitte found its employees had a problem with e-mail overload.
So it came up with a radical solution.
"A lot of people complain they get too much e-mail, that they're swamped with it, a lot of the messages they receive are unwanted, unnecessary targeted to the wrong people," says Mary Hensher, who heads Deloitte's IT department.
"We all tried to see if we could avoid sending internal e-mail on a Wednesday. Now the first thing that happened was it got everybody talking.
"Everybody started to think about what they were sending, who they were sending it to and whether they could use another method of sending the e-mail. So it had a very good immediate response, where people were actually thinking more about what they were doing."
E-mail is so ingrained in our working lives that Deloitte's experiment was abandoned after only a month. But the company still thinks it was worth it.
"Although the e-mail free day is not an e-mail free day any more, the actual amount of internal email circulating has dropped, because people are more conscious of what they're sending," Ms Hensher says.
Top tips
One man that might have the answer to all the problems surrounding e-mail is Loughborough University's Dr Tom Jackson.
He has spent the last nine years researching and developing better e-mail practice and has five tips he believes can help you take control of your inbox:
* Invest in a spam filter. You shouldn't open a spam e-mail, because as soon as you open the e-mail up, it notifies the organisation that has sent that, saying this is a valid e-mail address. They know how long you've looked at it, when you looked at it and did you go back to it.
* Target your e-mail. One of most annoying things about e-mail is the sheer number of messages we receive that aren't addressed primarily to us. Does everyone in the cc box really need to be copied in on your words of wisdom? Basically, a cc is there for information purposes only, and you should only use it for that purpose.
* Write more carefully. The reason to write carefully is crystal clear. It just vastly increases the chance that whatever it is you want to get done will get done. If you don't write carefully, there's room for misunderstanding.
* Reduce interruptions. I think it does start to stress people out. Simply by changing the way they have their e-mail application set up, they can start to reduce some of that stress.
* Get training. E-mail seems like common sense. Anyone can write an e-mail. But the issues we're having are that many people are struggling with e-mail communication - and training can really help with that.

That was cute learning about how email was invented!
I get stressed out from email too. Here's some more tips:
-Make sure spam block is ON.
-Unsubscribe from needless old newsletters and groups.
-Block addresses of people/orgs that keep sending you emails you don't need to see every month.
-Get two accounts. One for all those forms and passwords and website signups. And then one as your 'personal' email for friends, family. Then you only have to check the forms one when you need to. Don't use your personal one for anything else, give only to people one on one.
-Set a time every day for 'answering email'. Do this once a day. A time when you are relaxed and have a free hour or something. This prevents you from checking 10000xs a day and especially when you're busy you're obviously not going to write back or respond, you just keep checking it for no reason.
-Unplug days. Don't look at your email for a whole day. Can you do it? hehe

Brooklyn >Clothing > Goldy & Mac
219 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1121540.676004 -73.980612
Neighborhoods: Park Slope
poor merchandise selection, unhelpful service – I walked in and two girls sat behind the desk chatting on 5th ave location. i really wanted a new outfit but decided to leave because of being ignored and the poor merchandise selection.
Reasonably Priced (and Cute) Clothes – Goldy and Mac had a lot of cute and well priced clothes to offer. I went last year around the beginning of fall and the store had cropped jackets, jumper dresses, plain tees, and lots of jeans. I wish I could remember some of the brands they sold, but I think the store is geared towards women in their early 20's- young, trendy but classy and stylish. There were no cheap fabrics or poorly made items in the store. The sales girls were helpful and friendly.I ended up buying one item and keep planning to go back for more, however they are a bit out of my way, but if you're in the neighborhood stop by.

Honeyport Script Dome9 Blacklist TTL Update
Dome9 just introduced the ability to set a time-to-live (TTL) option for blacklisted IPs, something I may have bugged them for about once or twice! This is nice as it allows items on your blacklist to expire after a pre-determined amount of time instead of living on in perpetuity. It's particularly beneficial when you run something like my Honeyport that can end up blacklisting over 400 unique IPs in about two months — it saves having to go in and manually remove blacklisted IPs periodically.
I've updated my Honeyport script to include the option to set a TTL on blacklisted IPs when using Dome9. Note this doesn't yet work when using IPtables as it doesn't have an easy TTL-style option for rules. This functionality for IPtables is on my TODO list.
Check out honeyport-0.2.sh here!
Linux Bash Ncat Honeyport Script with IPTables and Dome9 Support
After securing systems by hiding them completely from the network/internet using Single Packet Authorization, I've recently been interested in doing more so-called 'active' defense, by implementing solutions to delay, confuse, or thwart attackers. Completely hiding one's system is not always feasible (ie. in the case of an internet-facing server), and monitoring, apart from being purely reactive, is not always easy and requires the involvement of a human. An alternative to these is to do some automated active defense. One simple tool in the bag of active defense tricks is the honeyport. Read more
The pending apocalypse? Maybe more fact than fiction
Forget for a moment that the following video is a trailer for an upcoming Tom Clancy game, because it's beautifully done and highlights a real danger that our world faces as we rely more and more of increasingly fragile systems and infrastructure. I think the things depicted in the video are a far bigger threat than things like terrorism, yet are hardly addressed today.
For those of you actually interested in the game, this gameplay trailer looks pretty cool.
Lock Screen Bypass in iOS 7 Beta 1
A new version of iOS, a new lockscreen/passcode bypass! Luckily this one was caught early in the first Beta of iOS 7 released to developers at WWDC 2013. Although this lockscreen bypass is simpler than some of the previous ones that required some tricky steps to pull off, it's probably worth pointing out that it will only allow access to the phone's photos, and the ability to delete, email, tweet or upload the stored image files. It does not allow access to any other apps.
I should point out that I played with iOS 7 for a day, and it was so buggy that I had to downgrade back to iOS 6. Luckily Apple has plenty of time to fix all these issues come the release date this fall.
To bypass the lockscreen simply follow these easy steps:
- Pull up the Control Center
- Tap the Calculator icon to open it
- Pull up the Control Center again
- Tap the Camera icon to open it
- Tap the photos icon in the bottom-left corner to get full access to the photos
Check out the video below to see it in action.
iPhone and iPad Activation Lock Coming in iOS 7
Those of you who have been diligent in securing your iOS devices with passcodes, wiping and Find My iPhone, just to have a thief restore your device and keep on going – well – your prayers have been answered. Coming in iOS 7 is a great feature called 'Activation Lock'.
With Activation Lock enabled, even if your iPhone or iPad is restored to its factory settings, the user will need to activate the device using the Apple ID of the previous user. Also, if the device was put into Lost Mode in Find My iPhone, the lock screen will continue to display the fact that it is lost until the device is activated.
This is a hugely useful feature that, if used properly, will make iPhones and iPads a significantly less attractive target to thieves, as the stolen devices would be rendered useless to them. It was nice to see Apple address one of the main concerns that users have been expressing about the bypass-ability of Find My iPhone. Check out Protecting and Recovering Your iPhone and iPad from Loss and Theft (will be updated soon with this new feature).

New Lockscreen Bypass in iOS 6.1
In a vulnerability that's quite similar to one in iOS 4.1 a couple years ago, another lockscreen bypass has been discovered in iOS 6.1 which allows someone with physical access to your iPhone to make calls, view and modify your contacts, send an email to your contacts, listen to your voicemail, and access your photos (by attempting to add one of these to a contact).
The method for this bypass is fairly simple (see the video below for it in action):
- Swipe to unlock and then tap Emergency Call
- Make an emergency call (eg. 112/911) and immediately cancel it (please don't unnecessarily call the emergency services ;)
- Press the power button twice
- Slide to unlock
- Hold down the power button for a couple seconds and then tap Emergency Call again.
- …
- Profit!
I should point out that this doesn't seem to work on my iPhone 4 for some reason. Something does happen, but I just get a black screen until I press something whereupon I'm booted back to the lock screen.
Jailbreak for iPhones, iPads and iPods Running iOS 6/6.1 Now Available (evad3rs)
Seems like this one has been a long time in the making, but there is finally a jailbreak for any iPhone, iPad or iPod running iOS 6 or 6.1. This jailbreak comes courtesy of a group called evad3rs. The jailbreak can be performed using any computer running Mac OS X, Window or Linux, and is a full un-tethered jailbreak meaning that once jailbroken the device can be rebooted without it needing to be re-jailbroken.
To perform the jailbreak, simply download the software for your OS, plug in your device, launch the evasi0n app and click Jailbreak. It's pretty much as simple as that! Cult of Mac has a good summary of this process.
Quick warning: I know that many people are eager to jailbreak their devices – sometimes I also get annoyed at the restrictions Apple places on their devices – but remember that when you jailbreak you're not only running exploit code and trusting a third party not to do anything malicious, but you also make your device less secure in the process!
With that in mind, check out the latest jailbreak at evasi0n.com.
BruCON 2012
I'll be at BruCON in Ghent, Belgium next week between the 24th and 27th of Sept. Hit me up on Twitter or here if any of you are going to be there!
I know I've been pretty bad with posting recently, but I'm hoping to rectify that soon. It's been a hectic year, and haven't had as much time to blog as before. Got a couple reviews and articles in the pipeline, and will soon be updating my guide on Security Mac OS X for Mountain Lion.
Watch this space! :)
New "Lost Mode" in Find My iPhone (iCloud)
With iOS 6, Apple will be releasing an updated set of web apps on iCloud.com, including Mail, Calendar, Notes, Reminders and Find My iPhone. Find My iPhone is a useful feature that allows you to track or wipe your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch should it get lost or stolen. For more info check out my article on Protecting and Recovering Your iPhone and iPad from Loss and Theft. In this post I just want to point out the changes to Find My iPhone, in particular the new "Lost Mode".

Comments about Paula Young Alex 100% Human Hair Wig by Wendy Williams™ Hair World™:
I have been wearing wigs for the last 25 years and this is one of the most natural looking right out of the box. I love human hair because it is so versatile and can be colored. I ordered the medium brown with copper highlights and it was very natural looking.The one thing I didn't like was the fact that the mono-filament top was only an inch circle at the crown. Mono-filament top should mean the top not just a spot. As far as the comfort. I have always adjusted my wigs myself and cut off the back side and sew in toupee clips for better hold and no slippage. I did put this on as is and it was a little tight. I do have to put a little water and mousse on the hair to keep it from looking a little frizzy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Guidelines for Authors
Requirements for Acceptance
P&T® accepts only original, unpublished manuscripts. E-mail submissions, with the manuscript as an MS Word attachment, are encouraged.
All feature articles undergo a thorough peer review, usually within three to four weeks. Authors will then have the opportunity to respond to reviewer comments. The editor reserves the right to edit all submissions for space, clarity, style, and consistency.
All manuscripts should disclose any financial arrangements with pharmaceutical or medical education companies or any other information that might indicate a perceived conflict of interest.
Manuscripts are published at the discretion of the editor. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted will be required to sign a copyright transfer agreement, assigning copyright of their articles to the publisher.
CE and CME Articles
Selected articles will be approved for both continuing education (CE) and continuing medical education (CME) credit. Articles that are to be considered for dual accreditation should provide an overview of topics that are directly relevant to health care practitioners and should address issues such as disease management, drug class reviews, strategies for coping with medication errors, and pharmacoeconomic issues. Please contact the editor if you have questions about an article's suitability for CE/CME credit.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscript pages should be numbered and should include a title page. All manuscripts should be typed in American Medical Association (AMA) style, without any special formatting. Text should be double-spaced. Articles can be from 2,500 to 6,000 words. Commentaries, book reviews, and letters to the editor can be shorter.
The title page should include the names, degrees, titles, affiliations, e-mail and mailing addresses, fax numbers, and phone numbers of all authors.
Abstracts are optional. They should be no more than 500 words and should succinctly summarize the article.
References should be numbered consecutively as superscripts in the text and should correspond to a reference list that follows the main text. The list should be typed as regular text and styled without end notes that link the text and references. Whenever possible, current references should be cited in addition to historical references.
The text should be broken up by headings and subheadings for clarity.
Artwork, Photos, Tables, and Permissions
Authors may submit both original and reprinted illustrations, tables, or color and black-and-white prints or PowerPoint or Excel slides via e-mail. Previously published material should include the complete source citation.
Authors should include a copy of the letters both seeking and granting permission to reprint previously published material. They should begin seeking permission to reproduce the material upon P&T's acceptance of their article for publication in order to allow sufficient time for the original publisher or copyright holder to grant permission.
P&T assumes no responsibility for charges incurred in the process of obtaining permission from other sources. When writing to publishers, authors should identify the publisher's original figure or table number, journal name, volume and issue number, authors of the original article, and the new table or figure number as it will appear in the P&T article.
Tables should be typed on separate sheets of paper and numbered consecutively as cited in the text. If they are wide, they should be sent in a separate Word document. Figures should be also be kept in a separate file.
Each figure should appear on a separate page, with a legend, numbered consecutively as cited in the text. Any specific colors to be maintained should be noted. Authors should include the name of the program used to create the art.
For prints, authors should attach a label to the back showing their name and figure number. They should indicate whether they would like their material to be returned after publication.
Authors may submit an attached jpeg (.jpg) or a tiff (.tif) image of themselves for publication.
