[Infographic] The Evolution of the Google Nexus
The website Into Mobile has created a nice infographic which compares all of the previous versions of the Nexus to the newest device. In most areas, the evolution of the Nexus seems quite natural, except for the fact that camera megapixels have curiously stayed the same throughout all versions – although we still strongly suspect the camera on the newest Nexus to be vastly superior.
My opinion: Many are grumbling about the fact that the Galaxy Nexus lacks Gorilla Glass. So what? It might have a screen that's just as break-resistant as that of Gorilla Glass. Also, it seems premature to complain about the word "Plus" going missing from the Super AMOLED description when we don't actually know if this means the display will suffer.
In the end, the sum of the Nexus is more than the parts. The technical aspects of the original Nexus were not necessarily top-of-the-line and yet the device nonetheless by far the best feeling Android on the market at its release.
Also, the GPU on this device is not-so-hot. But my response, again, is "so what?" The graphics performance on past Nexus devices has still been able to more than keep up with the most demanding games despite their benchmark ratings.
The Galaxy Nexus will likely be a very damn good Android smartphone, much like the original Nexus One. It will likely be my second Nexus.

Integrating Tidy as filter that is ran before the html data is sent to the browser is not that trivial, there are plenty of examples of this available on the net. In my opinion it is still MUCH better to have good html code in the system to begin with. Filtering every page sent out to the users via Tidy will take a LOT of resources especially if you have a site that is receiving a lot of hits. It would add a lot of overhead. My request is to have means to add Tidy filtering into the development process, so that the pages are pure and pretty xhtml to begin with. > Cory Nelson wrote: > >>> It sounds more reasonable to me to run Tidy on the HTML source that >>> is actually sent to the browser.

Memory support
Complete support resouces for Crucial memory.
A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller and thinner than regular DIMMs. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected.
200-pin SODIMMs are used to provide DDR and DDR2 SDRAM memory for notebook computers. 200-pin SODIMMs are available in PC2700 DDR SDRAM, PC3200 DDR SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM and DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM. To use DDR or DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 200-pin SODIMM slots and a DDR- or DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR or DDR2 SODIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM SODIMM socket. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool.)
The number of black components on a 200-pin SODIMM can vary, but it always has 100 pins on the front and 100 pins on the back, for a total of 200. 200-pin SODIMMs are approximately 2.625 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. Like 144-pin SODIMMs, 200-pin SODIMMs have one small notch within the row of pins; however, the notch on the 200-pin SODIMMs is closer to the left side of the module.

Samsung Smart TV Review
I installed a new Samsung 59 inch 3D Plasma Smart TV in our showroom and this thing is sweet! The 2D picture quality is stunning, and the 3D picture is very nice but of course you do have to wear their glasses. It is Ethernet attached so you can browse the internet and it has apps built in like Facebook, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc. I must say that browsing is slower than I would like, but that is an OK trade-off for the convenience of not having to pick up your PC. The remote that comes with it is very well done and look like a standard remote. But turn it over and there is a full keyboard!

An ideal of a ring \(R\) is a nonempty subset \(I\subset R\) such that for all \(x, y \in I\)
\(x+y,-x \in I\)
\(x \cdot y \in I\)
The first condition is equivalent to requiring
We write \(I \triangleleft R\).
Since \(I\) is an additive subgroup of \(R\), we can form the quotient group
which is the group of cosets of \(I\) with addition: for \(a,b \in R\) we have
It is easily verified that \(R/I\) is in fact a ring by defining multiplication as follows:
(It needs to be checked that multiplication is well-defined: if \(I + a = I + a', I+ b = b'\), then it can be seen that \(a b - a' b' = a(b -b') + (a-a')b' \in I\).)
We call \(R/I\) a quotient ring.
The mapping \(\phi : R \rightarrow R/I\) that takes \(x\) to \(I+x\) is a surjective ring homomorphism that is called the natural map. We have \(ker \phi = I\), so every ideal is the kernel of some ring homomorphism. The converse is easily verified, that is, the kernels of ring homomorphisms with domain \(R\) are precisely the ideals of \(R\).
The following are easy to verify:
Fundamental Homomorphism Theorem: If \(f:R\rightarrow S\) is a ring homomorphism with kernel \(I\) and image \(C\) then \(R/I \cong C\).
Proposition: Let \(I\triangleleft R\) and \(\phi:R\rightarrow R/I\) be the natural map.
Then the ideals \({\mathcal { I}}\) of \(R/I\) have the form \(\mathcal{I} = J/I = \{I +j | j\in J\}\) for some \(I\subset J\triangleleft R\).
Example: \(\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z} \cong \mathbb{Z}_9\) has ideals \(\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}, 3\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}, 9\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}\) that correspond under \(\phi^{-1}\) to \(\mathbb{Z} \supset 3\mathbb{Z} \supset 9\mathbb{Z}\), which are all the ideals of \(\mathbb{Z}\) containing \(9\mathbb{Z}\).

SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer stands to collect a $44 million severance package if she leaves after Verizon completes its purchase of the once-mighty internet company.
Mayer hasn't announced plans to leave, but industry observers say she's unlikely to stay after the $4.8 billion sale closes early next year.
The 41-year-old executive stands to collect $3 million in cash and almost $41 million worth of stock options and awards under a "golden parachute" agreement described in a regulatory filing Friday. In a filing last spring, Yahoo said Mayer could walk away with $55 million in compensation, but the figures can vary with the value of Yahoo's stock and the date she leaves.
Mayer has been CEO for four years but failed to reverse a long-standing slide in Yahoo's advertising business.

How much does Justin Bieber Net Worth 2019 – 200 Million Dollar
Justin Bieber Biography
Justin was born in Stafford, Ontario Canada on March 1, 1994 and is currently standing at a height of 1.75m (5ft 7in). Although Justin doesn't have a salary he is said to have earned upwards of $80 million from June 2013 to June 2014. Justin is considered to now be the 9th most powerful celebrity, Justin Bieber net worth is estimated at a massive $200 million, and a good thing to because he sure does love his toys. Justin has a huge array of different cars from all makes. Justin's garage includes a Cadillac CTS-V that he calls The Batmobile, as well as a MV Augusa bike that he calls The Bat Bike. Thing's like a 997 Porsche Turbo, Ferrari F340 and a 458 Italia, Audi R8, Lamborghini Aventador, Range Rover, Fisker Karma, Mercedez Benz Sprinter Van, he even has a blacked out Smart Car. It would seem that no expense was spared whilst putting together this fleet of vehicles that I am sure would make most car enthusiast's jealous. Apart from all of his luxurious vehicles Justin has also bought a house for his mother in Stafford, Ontario it would seem the luxurious lifestyle for this young celebrity icon is now renting a Los Angeles home for a whopping $60K a month! Living in style is not cheap that is one thing that is for sure, oh and did I mention the home is made almost entirely out of glass! Although Justin has all these thing's to show for himself he has definitely been known to have had multiple run ins with the law before being arrested on January 23 of 2014 for suspicion of Driving Under the Influence. (DUI) Later that year the case was settled with a plea bargain and Justin pled guilty to resisting an officer without violence and a lesser charge of driving without due care of attention. This type of lifestyle that Justin Bieber has lead up to this point, has made him a constant target for scrutiny in the eye of the media, and constantly has us all wondering what will he do next?

She had died painlessly, tranquilly, like a woman whose life was irreproachable, and she now lay on her back in bed, with closed eyes, calm features, her long white hair carefully arranged as if she had again made her toilet ten minutes before her death, all her pale physiognomy so composed, now that she had passed away, so resigned that one felt sure a sweet soul had dwelt in that body, that this serene grandmother had spent an untroubled existence, that this virtuous woman had ended her life without any shock, without any remorse.
On his knees, beside the bed, her son, a magistrate of inflexible principles, and her daughter Marguerite, in religion, Sister Eulalie, were weeping distractedly. She had from the time of their infancy armed them with an inflexible code of morality, teaching them a religion without weakness and a sense of duty without any compromise. He, the son, had become a magistrate, and, wielding the weapon of the law, he struck down without pity the feeble and the erring. She, the daughter, quite penetrated with the virtue that had bathed her in this austere family, had become the spouse of God through disgust with men.
They had scarcely known their father; all they knew was that he had made their mother unhappy without learning any further details. The nun passionately kissed one hand of her dead mother, which hung down, a hand of ivory like that of Christ in the large crucifix which lay on the bed. At the opposite side of the prostrate body, the other hand seemed still to grasp the rumpled sheet with that wandering movement which is called the fold of the dying, and the lines had retained little wavy creases as a memento of those last motions which precede the eternal motionlessness. A few light taps at the door caused the two sobbing heads to rise up, and the priest who had just dined, entered the apartment. He was flushed, a little puffed, from the effects of the process of digestion which had just commenced; for he had put a good dash of brandy into his coffee in order to counteract the fatigue caused by the last nights he had remained up and that which he anticipated from the night that was still in store for him. He had put on a look of sadness, that simulated sadness of the priest to whom death is a means of livelihood. He made the sign of the cross, and coming over to them with his professional gesture said:
"Well, my poor children, I have come to help you to pass these mournful hours."
But Sister Eulalie suddenly rose up.
"Thanks, father, but my brother and I would like to be left alone with her. These are the last moments that we now have for seeing her; so we want to feel ourselves once more, the three of us, just as we were years ago when we — we — we were only children, and our poor — poor mother — "
She was unable to finish with the flood of tears that gushed from her eyes, and the sobs that were choking her.
But the priest bowed, with a more serene look on his face, for he was thinking of his bed. "Just as you please, my children."
Then, he knelt down, again crossed himself, prayed, rose up, and softly stole away murmuring as he went: "She was a saint."
They were left alone, the dead woman and her children. A hidden timepiece kept regularly ticking in its dark corner, and through the open window the soft odors of hay and of woods penetrated with faint gleams of moonlight. No sound in the fields outside, save the wandering notes of toads and now and then the humming of some nocturnal insect darting into like a ball, and knocking itself against the wall.
An infinite peace, a divine melancholy, a silent serenity surrounded this dead woman, seemed to emanate from her, to evaporate from her into the atmosphere outside and to calm Nature itself.
Then the magistrate, still on his knees, his head pressed against the bed-clothes, in a far-off, heart-broken voice that pierced through the sheets and the coverlet, exclaimed:
"Mamma, mamma, mamma!" And the sister, sinking down on the floor, striking the wood with her forehead fanatically, twisting herself about and quivering like a person in an epileptic fit, groaned: "Jesus, Jesus — mamma — Jesus!"
And both of them shaken by a hurricane of grief panted with a rattling in their throats.
Then the fit gradually subsided, and they now wept in a less violent fashion, like the rainy calm that follows a squall on a storm-beaten sea. Then, after some time, they rose, and fixed their glances on the beloved corpse. And memories, those memories of the past, so sweet, so torturing today, came back to their minds with all those little forgotten details, those little details so intimate and familiar, which make the being who is no more live over again. They recalled circumstances, words, smiles, certain intonations of voice which belonged to one whom they should hear speaking to them again. They saw her once more happy and calm, and phrases she used in ordinary conversation rose to their lips. They even remembered a little movement of the hand peculiar to her, as if she were keeping time when she was saying something of importance.
And they loved her as they had never before loved her. And by the depth of their despair they realized how strongly they had been attached to her, and how desolate they would find themselves now.
She had been their mainstay, their guide, the best part of their youth, of that happy portion of their lives which had vanished; she had been the bond that united them to existence, the mother, the mamma, the creative flesh, the tie that bound them to their ancestors. They would henceforth be solitary, isolated; they would have nothing on earth to look back upon.
The nun said to her brother:
"You know how mamma used always to read over her old letters. They are all there in her drawer. Suppose we read them in our turn, and so revive all her life this night by her side? It would be like a kind of road of the cross, like making the acquaintance of her mother, of grandparents whom we never knew, whose letters are there, and of whom she has so often talked to us, you remember?"
And they drew forth from the drawer a dozen little packets of yellow paper, carefully tied up and placed close to one another. They flung these relics on the bed, and selecting one of them on which the word "Father" was written, they opened and read what was in it.
It consisted of those very old letters which are to be found in old family writing-desks, those letters which have the flavor of another century. The first said, "My darling," another "My beautiful little girl," then others "My dear child," and then again "My dear daughter." And suddenly the nun began reading aloud, reading for the dead her own history, all her tender souvenirs. And the magistrate listened, while he leaned on the bed, with his eyes on his mother's face. And the motionless corpse seemed happy.
Sister Eulalie, interrupting herself, said: "We ought to put them into the grave with her, to make a winding-sheet of them, and bury them with her."
And then she took up another packet, on which the descriptive word did not appear.
And in a loud tone she began: "My adored one, I love you to distraction. Since yesterday I have been suffering like a damned soul burned by the recollection of you. I feel your lips on mine, your eyes under my eyes, your flesh under my flesh. I love you! I love you! You have made me mad! My arms open! I pant with an immense desire to possess you again. My whole body calls out to you, wants you. I have kept in my mouth the taste of your kisses."
The magistrate rose up; the nun stopped reading. He snatched the letter from her, and sought for the signature. There was none, save under the words, "He who adores you," the name "Henry." Their father's name was René. So then he was not the man.
Then, the son, with rapid fingers, fumbled in the packet of letters took another of them, and read: "I can do without your caresses no longer."
And, standing up, with the severity of a judge passing sentence, he gazed at the impassive face of the dead woman.
The nun, straight as a statue, with teardrops standing at each corner of her eyes, looked at her brother, waiting to see what he meant to do. Then he crossed the room, slowly reached the window, and looked out thoughtfully into the night.
When he turned back, Sister Eulalie, her eyes now quite dry, still remained standing near the bed, with a downcast look.
He went over to the drawer and flung in the letters which he had picked up from the floor. Then he drew the curtains round the bed.
And when the dawn made the candles on the table look pale, the son rose from his armchair, and without even a parting glance at the mother whom he had separated from them and condemned, he said slowly:
"Now, my sister, let us leave the room."

Wedding Bells for Tsvangirai
Sept. 15 - Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai marries his bride under polygamy custom, defying a court ruling that he is already married. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, whose wedding plans appeared to have been thwarted when a court ruled he was already wed to a former flame, pressed ahead with his marriage on Saturday under a custom that permits polygamy. The scandal - which had also seen another woman challenge his wedding plans - has gripped the nation and handed his rival, President Robert Mugabe, political ammunition as he seeks to extend his three-decade rule in an election expected within a year. Tsvangirai could not be married in a legally recognized ceremony because of the embarrassing ruling. In an apparent bid to save face, he instead held a ceremony under Zimbabwe's "customary marriage" practice. The 60-year-old and Elizabeth Macheka, 35, exchanged rings and promised to love each other. But there was no signing of a marriage certificate or vows of monogamy. A magistrate said on Friday that Tsvangirai's former flame Locardia Karimatsenga had proved she was his wife under the customary marriage practice. A man can have several customary marriages, but if he has wed under the practice is precluded from holding a legal marriage ceremony. Days earlier, another woman, South African Nosipho Regina Shilubane, also filed a court challenge to stop the wedding, saying she was engaged to the prime minister, with whom she said she had been romantically involved since 2009.

text: A costum-made version of the Wahlberg Track Runner – grand size – plays an important part in the staging of this opera event.The opera is in Italian and has Danish surtitles – displayed on the Wahlberg Surtitle Display. Photos by Per Morten Abrahamsen The dynamic circle room in the center of the stage is developed by Wahlberg. In order to create the different set-ups, the 2 blue stagecurtains hang from circular beams in the ceilings. Moreover each curtain has a Track Runner connected in the front and in the back. This way the curtains can both move sideways and in circles creating various spaces for the performance as seen in the photos above. The circular beams are mounted with power rails that feed the power to each Track Runner. The control signal to the motors are energised via wireless DMX. Altogether this gives great possibilities in the movement patterns and the curtains can go several times around the circular beams. The Track Runner motors are DMX controlled and the advanced controlling system allows free positioning on the whole circular beam with a precision of 5 mm ! Alcina the witch lives on an island. She is a stunning beauty that every man falls in love with, however the consequenses are frightening.

Revelations of recruitment of Taiwanese by Chinese intelligence seem to have settled into a comfortable frequency, with arrests or indictments being made on an almost monthly basis now.
A little more than a month after an Air Force captain was caught passing on classified information about Taiwan's air defense systems to China via his uncle — a businessman in China — two former intelligence officers were charged on Monday and indicted today on charges of collecting sensitive information for China.
According to the indictment, Tsai Kuo-bin (蔡國賓), 65, a former captain at the National Security Bureau (NSB), had spied for China for several years, and visited China on a number of occasions between 2007 and 2010. He is suspected of trying to acquire, and to have delivered, information on Taiwanese intelligence and Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) personnel, domestic politics, cross-strait relations, and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). China is said to have paid Tsai a total sum of NT$620,000 (US$20,000) for his efforts.
Prosecutors said Tsai also recruited the 63-year-old Wang Wei-ya (王維亞), a former officer at the Ministry of National Defense's General Political Warfare Department, and asked him to acquire a book — 情報生涯30年 — containing classified information about 30 years of Taiwanese intelligence, which was banned before it could be published. Interestingly, after retiring from the military in 1994, Wang, by then a major, worked at the KMT Mainland Affairs Department, where he focused on psychological warfare and intelligence-gathering until 2006.
Tsai and Wang, who were arrested in September last year, face a maximum jail term of five years.

Jean Paul Gaultier has combined his unique signature style and his fun light-hearted attitude to create the must-have fashion accessory of 2012. The collection themed 'Night & Day', pays homage to Gaultier's infamous designs.
The 'Night' bottle has a sexy Rock Chick edge with a corset style reminiscent of Jean Paul Gaultier's catwalk shows and iconic cone bra design. The provocative bottle is perfect for after dark – the lace and fishnet design highlights the female-like silhouette of the iconic bottle shape and adds a never-before-seen edginess to the Diet Coke limited edition collection.
The 'Day' bottle is inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier's signature Breton stripes and captures his fun attitude. The iconic nautical-themed blue and white design showcases a stylish romantic everyday look. To complete the ensemble the shiny red bottle cap acts as a chic beret, and a star tattoo pays homage to Gaultier's sailor muse.
Check out the official commercial for the launch here below.
The 'Night & Day' bottles are available across nine countries in Europe from April 2012. To complete the collection, a third limited-edition bottle will be launched later in the year. The exclusive 'Tattoo' design is inspired by Gaultier's love of body art. Complementing the 'Night & Day' bottles, the 'Tattoo' design will be a nice collectors piece.
Detailed images of all three bottles follow after the jump.

Darrell West of the Brookings Institution examined the issue of "Saving Money Through Cloud Computing." "West used case studies to analyze the ability of cloud computing to bring greater efficiency, cost savings and innovation to local governments and federal agencies. The news for government is good: In West's sample, savings generally averaged between 25 and 50 percent, and government customers benefitted from scalability, convenience and reliability. For cloud computing to grow, West urges government agencies to ensure that they have appropriate privacy and security safeguards in place, and he urges Congress to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. He also points to the need to clarify and harmonize the sometimes inconsistent and even contradictory rules that can apply to cross-border movement of data," noted Microsoft.

When are researchers going to learn that studies in mice are usually a waste of time? In some cases, a dangerous waste of time ...
Most recently, a study from the University of Beijing found male mice who were genetically engineered to lack serotonin (the mood related neurotransmitter) acted bisexual. In over half the cases, the boy mice who lacked serotonin got jiggy with other boy mice first.
Great, so now we know that less serotonin may equal more tendency toward homosexuality? In mice. Because researchers say it's also not clear that any of this can be "extrapolated to humans."
So what the hell was the point of this study?
The only thing I can think of is if maybe researchers wanted to know more about mice sexuality, but I don't really think there's much value in that, right? What's creepy is that whatever their intentions were, this study's findings open a big ol' can of worms regarding human sexuality.
The researchers even seemed to realize that, because they warned that they fear people will look too far into their findings and attempt to apply them to humans. And seriously, that is the LAST thing we need, when we're already dealing with more than just fringe groups of looney toons in this country who are inventing "homosexuality curing" iPhone apps and others who think that homosexuality is a "choice," or a "lifestyle," or that people can just turn it on and off like a light switch.
Already, this study is starting to rear its ugly head in the media, being reported under headlines like "Sexual preference chemical found" that are noting how "a preference for females could be 'restored' by injecting serotonin into the brain." Danger, danger!
Worst case scenario: This could lead to even more (because there have already been) studies on gay men who have taken anti-depressants (which increase serotonin) in an attempt to act or feel less homosexual. I mean ... ughh!! Really? Aside from the obvious cringe factor of this kind of research, this is what science is spending time on? When we've got climate change to worry about, the threat of radiation on our health, lack of clean safe drinking water all over the globe, etc.?
Just cut it out, seriously. These researchers need to back away from looking this closely at rodent sexuality, and listen to some Lady Gaga to get a friggin' clue. Because, baby, they were born this way, okay? End of story.
Do you think this study's findings are potentially dangerous?

Whoever coached BARAK OBAMA on what to wear to his upcoming BAR MITZVAH at the Kotel should be congratulated. White silk kippah, blue and white striped tie, dark blue suit - he's picture-perfect for the big event!
Not only does he already have a Hebrew name ("Barak" means "lightning" in Hebrew and comes from the same root as the word "Baruch" which means "blessing," and was the name of one of the Judges in pre-Davidic Israel) but the Torah Portion he is scheduled to recite this week, Parshas Mattos, recounts how Moses gave the tribes of Gad, Reuven and half the tribe of Manasseh land on the East Side of the Jordan river as their inheritance (Numbers 32:33).
Be certain that when the Bar Mitzvah boy recites those verses the liberal press will be forced to shock the world with such headlines as: "Obama Advocates Expansion of Israeli Land into Jordanian Territory," while supposedly conservative media such as Fox News will probably spin it as "Obama Flip-Flops on Middle East Borders".
This unfortunate misrepresentation of Barak's Bar Mitzvah Parsha needs to be rectified before it gets out of hand. But don't look to the text of his Haftarah reading - Jeremiah 1:1-2:3, which contains the military deployment of pan-Euro / Islamic troops against Israel (1:14-15). The press will NOT know what to make of that!
Also pictured, being helped with the cantillation marks and vowels of his Torah text, Barak Obama with Ehud Barak, Defense Minister of Israel. For once, Ehud wasn't being DEFENSIVE, he was downright tickled to be able to help his Name-Twin - yes, BARAK! - ensure his pronunciation was Litvish-perfect, "just like we'd read it at The Meir," Barak was overheard saying. Which Barak? Oy, such a nachas-fest it was, this reporter can't even tell them apart!

Bush Sr in hospital w today's Sun conjunct natal IC
Former President George H. W. Bush is in hospital for what is said to be a lingering cough and possibly bronchitis. Can pneumonia be a factor?
At the age of 88 (born *June 12, 1924 11:45 am EDT Milton, MA), pneumonia is always a possibility. While peeking at today's transits to his natal horoscope, I see his natal IC (4th house cusp, End of Life) @7Sag39 is ruled by Jupiter and today's Sun position conjoins the IC (7Sag51 as I type) which spotlights it.
Transiting Jupiter @11Gem46 is Rx until January 30, 2013 and now traverses his n 10th H of Public Status while opposing natal Jupiter 14Sag11 in n 4th H. Jupiter oppo natal Jupiter is a time when no one is impressed with you though I'm saddened to say that Mr. Bush's eventual passing will be certain to make global headlines. Tr Sun also will oppose natal Jupiter is a few days
Lined up today in his natal 3rd house and soon to cross his n IC are planets Mercury 18Sco48, Venus 9Sco26, and most descriptively of endings, Saturn 6Sco28, our Time Keeper and Grim Reaper. Plus, tr Pluto, planet of Death and Transformation, has been transiting Bush Sr's n 4th H for some time. The current conjunction of irritating Mars to Pluto has been little or no help to his health, I fret, and may indicate heart involvement and/or infection.
Bush's natal 9th H Mercury @29Tau24 (a critical-crisis degree)–his n chart-ruler (ASC @ 11Vir09)–will soon be opposed by tr Mercury in Scorpio, sign of surgery, regeneration, and death. And the November 13, 2012 Solar Eclipse @21Sco56 occurred in his n 3rd H, a house with links to Health Matters through the mind-body connection.
Saturn: Planet of Old Age
His most recent Saturn Return to natal sign and degree (25Lib50 Rx in n 2nd H) was a three-fer: Dec 2, 2011; Apr 20, 2012; Aug 27, 2012. As you know, Saturn rules the skeletal system of bones and teeth and skin (boundaries.) Saturn rules his 6th hous of Health bwo Aquarius on the cusp; plus, 6th H co-ruler Uranus, today @4Ari42–is about to enter his natal 8th H of you-know-what so his demise may be quite sudden when it comes with his 8th cusp @5Ari03, showing that tr Uranus has been crossing and recrossing the 8th cusp for some time now.
A major weakening effect is tr Neptune @00Pis27 which conjoined his 6th H Mars 25AQ28 some time ago. If you're going to have Neptune affecting your 6th H of Health, it's much better if you're younger rather than older when it happens–and of course, tr Chiron (the Wound and the Wounded Healer) has been travelling in tandem with undermining Neptune and also affecting Mr. Bush's health (Parkinson's.)
A Neptune-to-Mars transit indicates a lessening of energy and vitality, a potential for infections, and confusion–more serious during advanced age, of course.
How Mr. Bush's current hospital stay will turn out I do not care to guess but he does have some difficult planetary influences acting upon his natal planets right now and over the coming months.

Governor McCrory proclaims Nov. 15 as America Recycles Day in North Carolina
RALEIGH – Governor Pat McCrory has proclaimed Nov. 15 as America Recycles Day in North Carolina and is encouraging people to recycle and reuse materials to save money, conserve resources and protect the environment.
"I am excited about what recycling can do for the future of North Carolina's environment and its economy," McCrory said. "America Recycles Day is a reminder of how important it is for North Carolinians to recycle wherever and whenever they can, at home, work and play."
Nationwide, America Recycles Day also falls on Sunday and is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting recycling. The recycling industry is growing in North Carolina and provides more than 17,000 private sector jobs at more than 750 companies statewide. Those companies have an estimated payroll of $442 million a year. Also, local recycling programs recycle more than 1.3 million tons of material annually and continue to expand the kinds of materials diverted from landfills.
State officials with the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality say recycling efforts are sometimes hindered when recyclable materials such as cardboard and newspapers are mixed with non-recyclable materials such as Styrofoam cups, straws hoses and liquids. One easy step is to keep loose plastic bags and bagged recyclables out of the recycling bin.
"It's certainly important people embrace and understand the need to recycle, but it is equally important for the public to recycle in a way that supports its success," said Scott Mouw, the section chief for the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality's Recycling and Materials Management program. "Recycling provides valuable supplies to manufacturers to make new products, and doing it the right way helps ensure those manufacturers receive the highest quality materials."
Many communities in North Carolina are celebrating America Recycles Day with special collection events, educational workshops and community events. People can check with their local recycling programs for events, or visit the America Recycles Day website at www.americarecyclesday.org for a searchable event database.

|technical diving madness
Having completed over 70 dives i felt that my diving needed to move to a new chapter - Technical Diving.
As a result of this moment of enlightenment i found i had to ask myself a few questions:
- What is tech?
- What makes a diver suddenly decide to turn tech?
- When is a diver ready for tech?
- What tech course should a diver take?
- Where should a diver go to do it?
- Once course is done, when are you ready to do some tech diving?
I have been pondering these questions for last 6 months or so. I have answered them all, mainly due to the high intelligence level i have gained driving a truck Monday to Friday, and more so, the amount of time it gives me to think.
Or have i?
I don't really know, but i can explain my rationale to decide to progress my diving in said fashion. So in my head i broke down all the considerations, then my inner monologue and I discussed it at length.
1. What is tech?
I have often heard and read the term "Technical Diving." It interested me on many levels. With the correct training it enables a diver to experience greater depth, longer bottom times, go in a wreck, go in a cave or dive under ice. It also entails a more thought out mode of diving, the rigging of equipment, managing cylinders and of course, it always looks so damn impressive, thus bringing me one step closer to looking like a member of the SAS. I knew i would put all my black kit to good use some day.
However, it also frightens the life out of me. Diving gets proper dangerous at technical levels if you make a bad decision or a mistake or are badly educated, and you may only get to do it wrong once.
So, Technical Diving to me is anything that strays outside the recreational level of diving i know and love, i.e. everything outside of my basic PADI training to Rescue Diver, ... and is dangerous as hell! (i jest of course.)
2. What makes a diver suddenly decide to turn tech?
For me it was what it would enable me to go and see. Here in Ireland there are a number of fantastic wrecks, both visually and historically. However, most are deep. Now i don't mean 100m or anything too crazy, but they often lie at 40m or so which is the limit of recreational diving and if you check your PADI tables you quickly find the NDL is a bit limiting. I needed more air to do this and that in turn brought other considerations.
So a tech course appeared to be in order.
3. When is a diver ready for tech
So, i then opened up the trusty fountain of knowledge and began surfing the interweb for all the technical answers i needed. I found some basic tech courses and started my never ending quest to have all the information about everything.
Of course, as with all things this is a bottomless pit. The limits of technical diving and fairly broad to say the least, but the initial training is pretty standard amongst all agencies. You have to get into a twin set, learn about gas mixtures and then maybe onto decompression.
I then read on to find out exactly what the hell that included.
A lot.
The reading material isn't that light and some of the in water skills are nothing short of pure frightening and seemingly impossible.
Am i ready for this? Is anyone really ever ready for this?
To be honest i wasn't totally sure. I had more than the minimum requirements, but did i feel like i could handle more?
I guess i just thought i could. If not, i'd bin it and keep diving the way i was and maybe try again later.
Cautiously, I read on.
4. What tech course should a diver take?
True to form, when you type in "tech diving course" into google you get a million results showing great offers of tech diving stardom and the occasional chance to make your penis more appealing to all women around the globe.
Thankfully i also read dive mags from time to time and i knew of the main players when it came to tech training. After some more reading and surfing my personal list included IANTD, TDI and GUE as the final contenders.
Now, in the process of all this Kerri had decided, despite professing for years that she would never don a harness, never mind a twinset, would become a tech diver with me. This was great news, Kerri is awesome at arranging things. She could help decided who we should go with and how many courses we could do in one go to become the top gun of the technical diving world.
Initially i wanted to go GUE. Kerri wanted to go IANTD.
TDI are one of the only training agencies in Northern Ireland so it seemed like the best idea. They are also reasonably priced to get you started and decide if this is really the way you want to go. Fine, we would earn all the Technical Diving International certification cards and be at 199m by the end of the month.
First on the ladder is TDI Advanced Nitrox. This would allow us to use mixes of Nitrox to 100% and set us up for a greater understanding for decompression diving. Sounded great.
5. Where should a diver go to do it?
This is the best thing about diving, you have to go to a hot place to learn. Well, perhaps that's not entirely true, but we had already done all our PADI training in the dark, cold, uninviting UK waters so why couldn't we go somewhere nice and have a bit of holiday while we were at it.
This was a marvelous idea.
Another positive was that the actual courses are cheaper abroad, so the money we saved not learning at home would pay for the holiday bit. Splendid.
In conclusion, we needed a decent climate, clear water, stuff to look at and the TDI Advanced Nitrox course.
So off to Malta we would go. If Jack Ingle can teach there, we could happily learn. If it's good enough for him ; it would bloody well do us.
|Maltaqua tec
To be honest i had let Kerri take over all this bit and i focused mainly on what stuff i needed to buy before i should undertake some tech diving, and then move swiftly on to panicking about all the skills i would need to perform once there.
6. Once course is done, when are you ready to do some tech diving?
I'll answer this question once i've completed some training...
Expect some course reports over the coming weeks!

At the recent fall assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Robert J. Hermann, the administrator for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, declared that for any bishop it would be a "privilege to die tomorrow to bring about an end to abortion." He has further explained that Catholics' response to abortion in our country should be proportionate to the scale of the tragedy.
At the bishops' meeting in Baltimore, Bishop Hermann had said:
"We have lost 50 times as many children in the last 35 years as we have lost soldiers in all the wars since the Revolution.
"I think any bishop here would consider it a privilege to die tomorrow to bring about an end to abortion."
"If we are willing to die tomorrow, then we should be willing to, until the end of our lives, to take all kinds of criticism for opposing this horrible infanticide."
Speaking with the archdiocesan newspaper the St. Louis Review, the bishop commented:
"I think that the way abortion has been presented over the past 35 years so often is that this is something that's horrible, and we need to stop it. But it seems to me that people do not realize that it is 50 million children that we have killed. We have campaigned to save the baby whales, and yet we vote in pro-abortion politicians — which doesn't make any sense whatsoever."
Bishop Hermann also described how bishops can look to the example of soldiers.
"If American youth are willing to go to war and lay their life down to defend our freedoms, then every bishop should be willing to give up his life, if it meant putting an end to abortion. And if we're willing to do that, then we should be totally fearless of promoting this cause without being concerned about political correctness, without trying to build coalitions with pro-choice people," the bishop said in an apparent reference to those Catholics who have recently begun to give up the fight to outlaw abortion.
He proposed an "awareness- raising campaign" to help people realize "the destruction that we've brought about" and "the atrocities that we're committing."
"There should be 50 more million Americans in our midst, and anyone under 35 can look around and say, 'Where are they?' And, 'I'm very lucky to be alive.'"
Bishop Hermann reported that after he made his comments one or two bishops started clapping, but the meeting then moved on to other business. Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, and Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver, along with other bishops, personally thanked him afterwards.
He reported that about 95 percent of the popular responses to his remarks have been positive, with some people consulting him about how they ought to deal with past voting habits. Bishop Hermann said many people have been conditioned to act as if God does not exist.
"I have great empathy and great compassion for people who are influenced by society and are taken in by the big lie that God does not exist. My job is to raise their awareness to, yes He does (exist), and it does make a difference what you believe. It makes a big difference in what you do.
"We also have to be aware that our warfare is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and the powers and the spirits of this world of darkness, as Paul tells us in Ephesians.
"Therefore, behind Planned Parenthood, behind the abortion issue, is the evil one," Bishop Hermann stated. "I often see human beings caught up in this as victims of the evil one who need my prayers and who need my compassion and who need my love. We don't only want to save our children from destruction; we also want to save our adult brothers and sisters from eternal destruction."
The bishop expressed concern about President-elect Barack Obama's support for Planned Parenthood, which he claimed targets blacks with abortion information and facilities in their neighborhoods.
Turning to possible problems under a pro-abortion rights Obama presidency, he called the proposed Freedom of Choice Act "dangerous" because "it would be undermining all the efforts for the past 35 years of trying to limit the destructive effects of abortion." He also noted the possibility Obama could appoint two more Supreme Court justices, which he claimed could secure the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision "for many, many years."
Responding to a common criticism that bishops and priests place such importance on abortion, he noted that other rights and political issues "mean nothing if the fundamental right to life is not guaranteed."
"When someone is denied life, then all the other rights don't mean anything. That's the reason the Church places such a high priority on that.
"For an individual to have a proportionate reason to vote for a candidate who supports abortion would be very hard to come by. The only way I could see that happening is if we had one candidate who supports abortion and another one who may mandate abortion ... as they do in China."
Bishop Hermann closed his interview with the St. Louis Review by encouraging Catholics to study Church documents such as Pope John Paul II's encyclical Evangelium Vitae and Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae, "so they can clearly understand the nature of man and woman and the sacredness of God's calling for man and woman."
"The more they study that and begin to live those teachings, the more they're going to come into freedom to promote the Gospel of Life," he concluded.

I have recently invited the General Assembly to consider reviewing mandated activities. I would also appeal to this Committee to review its practices to maximize its effectiveness.
The international community is more convinced than ever that colonialism has no place in the modern world.
The eradication of colonialism, in keeping with the principles of the Charter and the relevant United Nations resolutions, is our common endeavour.
This requires the constructive involvement of all concerned – the Special Committee, the administering Powers and the Non-Self-Governing Territories – working on a case-by-case-basis.
The Special Committee should be at the forefront in identifying possibilities for change and in promoting priorities in the decolonization process for the benefit of all.
As the intergovernmental body exclusively devoted to decolonization, the Special Committee is expected to devise fresh and creative approaches to mobilize the political will to advance its agenda.
As we know, the world is in a great transition. Many old structures are breaking down. New arrangements are taking shape.
In the area of decolonization, 16 Non-Self-Governing Territories require our attention.
As we look ahead, the narrative cannot again be portrayed as "decolonization deferred".
We no longer have the luxury of indulging in rhetoric and rituals.
Concrete action and tangible results are essential.
It is time for a new kind of fully inclusive dialogue about decolonization.
The risk of movement, while sometimes frightening, is far more preferable to the stagnation of the status quo.
As you begin your work, I assure you that the Secretariat will continue to provide the necessary assistance to the Special Committee.
I wish you every possible success in your efforts.
Thank you.

An Easy Peasy Pancake Recipe
Irish Pancakes or crêpes, savory or sweet, I love them! The official day to eat them in Ireland is on 'Pancake Tuesday', when the majority of us get our flour and pans out, rustle up a batch and smother them in fruit, cream, chocolate, syrup or just plain lemon and sugar.
I don't need this excuse and don't need an official day but I will be jumping on the bandwagon anyway.
Pancakes are so easy to make that it's kind of funny to see pre-made mixes available in supermarkets as the ingredients are few and more than likely what you have in your kitchen press, but if it saves you time and that extra bit of washing up, just do it.
If like me you don't mind cracking a couple of eggs and measuring out a cup of flour then you can follow the easiest recipe ever for pancakes below. Now easy doesn't mean the best and I'm sure you'll find a better combination or even a healthier one but this is an Easy Peasy Pancake Recipe.
One cup of all-purpose flour
Two eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Two tablespoons of butter (melted) or one tablespoon of oil
Sift the flour, add the eggs, milk, water, butter and salt. Beat. Place in the fridge for an hour. Heat a lightly oiled pan and add a scoop of pancake mixture, brown on both sides. Serve how you like it (I love the simplicity of freshly squeezed lemon and sugar sprinkled over mine)
*Note: You can use one cup of milk instead of 1/2 milk and 1/2 water.
*Note: To make the pancakes sweet you can add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and one tablespoon of sugar.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Drug Use for Performance Enhancement
A lot of people have a need to improve their body physique making them go an extra mile of using drugs to improve it and enhance body performance. These drug substances include the steroids and SARMs. Both substances help in building muscles and burning fat in the body. SARMs is an abbreviation for selective androgen receptor modulators which is a collection of several compounds is more improved than the steroids because its side effects are minimized. SARMs and steroids help in building muscles by increasing testosterone which increases the rate of protein synthesis in the body cells hence building muscles and burning fat. This happens as they act on the body hormones. Steroids can also be used to relieve swelling and inflammation. Steroids can be administered both orally or via an injection whiles there is no need for injection when taking SARMs.
Steroids help in building muscles and burning fat although they interact with other body organs such as the liver, prostate, heart and the sex organs. Increased testosterone production by steroids significantly increases the body weight, bicep girth, quadricep circumference as well as the abdomen tightness. Steroid drugs are also believed to hasten recovery of injuries and burns. When one uses steroids, facial and pubic hair can rapidly increase, the voice deepens and their drive, ambition, and focus improves which are the most sought traits for males. Learn more about steroids at
SARMs have been developed in such a way that they are more selective ensuring that one can take SARMs to burn fat and build muscles with minimum effects. They are quite effective in enhancing strength, enabling one to regain lean muscles and promoting muscle re-composition. One of the main performance enhancing SARMs is the
. Studies have shown that Ostarine has no side effects and is quite effective at building body muscles. SARMs bind to receptors demonstrating both anabolic and hypertrophic activity in muscle and bone hence ideal for treatment of osteoporosis and muscle wasting. SARMs have a high bioavailability in the body ensuring effective utilization and absorption.
Using SARMs and
steroids will make one to acquire the dream body of more muscles, less fat and better bone density but have to be stacked to achieve the desired effects. One has to make the right decision to either use them or not. Doctors careful supervision should also be sought when using SARMs and steroids to always ensure that they check hormone levels to avoid imbalances.

Update on my Upside-Down Tomatoes
At last we have been harvesting delicious tomatoes from both of our upside down tomato planters. The Topsy Turvy Planter is still doing the best.
As the tomatoes ripen, the plant is looking worse. Some of the leaves are yellowing or turning brown. I don't know if this is due to uneven watering or a nutrient deficiency in the soil. For the soil in both planters, I used about half organic potting soil and half coir (coconut fiber). I saw how the coir worked so well retaining water for the worm bin that I thought it would do well in the planters. The only problem is that I don't know if that is cutting down on the nutrition going to the plant.
To remedy this next year, I plan to add Tomatoes Alive organic fertilizer to the planters. Tomatoes Alive has been successful for me in the past but what will make it even better for the topsy turvy is that Gardens Alive is giving away a pound of tomatoes alive plus when you buy a Topsy Turvy II from them.
I don't know if Topsy Turvy II is any different from my Topsy Turvy, but I want to buy at least one more of them for next year, so I might as well get it with the Tomatoes Alive from Gardens Alive.
If I use their internet coupon -$20 Off $40 purchase, I can get three for the price of two! Or maybe I'll just get two and buy something else small to qualify for the $20 off. I love everything they have. If you have never browsed the Gardens Alive!site, I strongly encourage you to. They have a lot for the organic garden. Back to this year - The tomatoes are looking good from our hanging planters.
The overall plant doesn't look as good as it does on the Topsy Turvy advertisement, but does anything ever look as good as the ad? I think next year I will prune of the lower branch side shoots (which are actually higher since it is upside down). This would help the overall upside-down tomato appearance.
In conclusion, When I wrote my first post Do Upside Down Tomato Planters Work?, I thought that they were more of a novelty than a real planter. Now that I have tried a couple different ways, I think that the Topsy Turvy is a solid product. It is probably still better to plant tomatoes directly in the ground, but if you don't have room or if you just want some gardening fun, give the Topsy Turvy a try. If you want to know more of the pros and cons of growing with planters, I wrote a more in-depth post on this subject at Simple Green Frugal Co-op.
Next season, I am going to try strawberries and cucumbers in one too. How can I already be talking about next year's tomatoes when there is still so much harvest and then the Fall garden to tend to this year? I don't know. I guess its an obsession. :)

Australian service exports to China have been increasing for over ten years. Performance is strongest in areas where Australia has internationally recognised expertise or can bring its own unique comparative advantages to bear, for example in in-bound education and tourism.
In cross-border and in-country provision of services in China, Australian providers are subject to political and regulatory constraints and face the same hurdles as providers from other countries. When, in November 2013, China's new leadership released their 60 point Decisions as the economic blue-print for the period until 2020, they included three commitments to opening up services to international competition. The first was to treat domestic and foreign service providers on the same basis; the second to establish the China (Shanghai) Free Trade Zone and the third, and most detailed, was a list of service sectors to be opened.
To date, the opening up of the Chinese service sector has been gradual, with reform being rolled out cautiously via pilot projects and coordination with stakeholders. This makes the progress and sequencing of these reforms difficult to predict, but at the same time creates incentives for Australian business to be involved at an early stage such as the big Australian banks or AMP have done. Australian companies have achieved partial breakthroughs in insurance, banking and currency trading. At the same time, Australian financial and professional services providers are opening up two-way business opportunities for their Australian and Chinese clients. Australian companies operating in a market environment are doing well in other service sectors such as architecture and design.
Snowden Mining is an Australian company utilising its standing in the mining sector to partner with an influential Chinese state-owned company, the Design Institute. Snowden Mining spent years in building a relationship and trust with their Chinese counterpart that eventually led to global expansion of their joint service.
Snowden Group achieved a breakthrough for the Australian service sector by cooperating with one of China's central technical design institutes for the mining sector. They jointly support Chinese global mining investments through their special expertise in international mining codes and their application. Codes such as the Australian Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (JORC Code), the Canadian National Instrument NI 43-101 and the South African Code for the Reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (SAMREC) regulate the publication of mineral exploration reports for investors. These reports protect investors from misleading information and are done against the respective codes by accredited competent persons.
Snowden Group discovered a market opportunity when Chinese mining companies started outbound investment and discovered that while possessing rich technical and industry know-how, they lacked crucial regulatory expertise in working with international mining codes which impacted on their ability to source external funding for their projects. Snowden identified a key Design Institute in Beijing as the best partner to offer consulting services in international mining codes to Chinese mining companies.
Snowden initially worked with Chinese geologists, mining engineers and other experts to translate the codes into Chinese and interpret them from a Chinese perspective. Over time this lead to closer cooperation with Snowden giving presentations in Beijing and training Chinese mining engineers and geologist in Perth. Relationship building took the better part of three years. Once confidence was established, the negotiation of a cooperation agreement was completed within months. The cooperation agreement established a joint platform for the Design Institute and Snowden Group to offer their services to Chinese State-owned mining companies intending to invest overseas.

Bound to Me by Christy Pastore
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
This book was definitely a breath of fresh air. This was a great book that I enjoyed until the end. The writing was great from the plot to the characters. Ms.Christy gave a great emotional and funny story line. Alex and Ella make a great pair that feeds off each other. They both feed off the positive and the bad. This story was a great redemption of souls. Alex found his way back because of Ella and watching him come back was actually very moving at times.
I laughed, cried, even wanted to say really but I didn't stop reading and I'm glad I didn't because it was so worth reading. This story and the rollercoaster of their love made me believe that there was such thing as love at first sight. These two fought demons and came out on top and through the suspense their love came out on top. This was more than a physical relationship it was also an emotional one too.
I really enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it as a much read. Let Ella and Alex draw you into their world. Its so worth it.

I had a disease problem & lost all my plants /or I am starting over from scratch. How do I eliminate the risk of the bugs/disease still being in the area waiting to re-contaminate my new garden?
Answer: Scrub the area with food grade peroxide OR you can use bleach but you must try & clean the entire area to get rid of all bugs/diseases. A 10% bleach 90% water solution will remove disease/bugs/pathogens.

On one of my previous posts, I mentioned that a protein called APOBEC3 strongly exhibits retroviral replication. A recent study by Robert Silverman of the Cleveland Clinic confirms this finding. Five macaque monkeys were infected with XMRV - they showed an initial viremia, subsequently the virus became very difficult to find in the blood, but when the monkeys were sacrificed, the virus could easily be found in the spleen, lungs, lymphoid tissues, and prostate.
Ironically, the same patterns in certain blood cells were noted that exists in a cohort of ME/CFS patients. Also, the virus shows an initial acute phase, followed by periods of reactivation. Unfortunately, none of the animals displayed any clinical symptoms. The plausible explanation is that the length of the study was insufficient, or their immune systems were not presented with a challenge, or there was a lack of a necessary herpesviral co-infection to cause disease.

Hi Dr Luckett,
I actually take this as a positive sign, as it corresponds with the 3-10% of healthy people who are apparently carrying this infection with no obvious symptoms.
It seems that XMRV is a very subtle, insidious, slow-growing infection that smoulders away until as you say you get a major immune challenge such as an EBV infection.
P.S. would it be possible for you to contact me? I was wondering if you would be interested in speaking to a local ME group.
My email is: email@example.com
Many thanks
