Where I stayed
Our adventures here started with the Salzburg Castle. This was the first castle that really showed a military style architecture, where everything that was built, was purely for defense and attack. Being right on the hill top, the castle had a panoramic view of the whole of Salzburg, making this a very hard Castle to attack i would imagine. Everything was built of stone, there were heaps of heavy metal doorways with big bolts and artillery holes in the castle walls every few meters
The Maribell gardens (which are gardens situated in the old town) were stunning, especially on a beautiful sunny day. All the trees and plants were perfectly maintained and the water fountains were sparkling clean. Such a nice walk through the park here, would be a perfect place for a picnic. Got to see some cool statues and experience music playing in the background. Even got to see a sweet unicorn statue, that i had to get a photo with! haha
Salzburg is also home to the Red Bull hanger, which is basically a real flash glass dome that has been set up as a show off museum for red bulls possessions. Many planes, motor bikes, car simulators, and race cars are housed here. As you can imagine Dan LOVED it! I thought it wasnt too bad for a guy dominated attraction. We even got to see the red bull jet pack which is featured on the red bull add. Enjoyed looking around and as expected we left thinking 'well red bull is making a mint'.
Another day trip was on the cards for us and because the weather had been so fantastic we decided to go. What a good decision that was.
Taking an hour bus trip out to St Gilgin, Strobl and Bad Ischl, which are little villages east of Salzburg, was one of the most fantastic experiences we have had yet. Imagine a picturesque country side, mountains covered in trees with a pinch of snow at the peak and houses scattered around a huge crystal clear lake. The peaceful and relaxed feeling out here was a great change to the city. The scenery was out of this world, it was so nice to sit down by the lake and soak it all up. I had heard Austria was beautiful, but never really believed it until now. Totally awesome day to finish off our Salzburg experience!

Be healthy
This month, we're seeing "red" as we focus on our heart and ways we can keep it healthy. February is American Heart Month, and it's important to know steps we can take to protect ourselves against heart disease. Eating a healthy diet is key, along with regular exercise, avoiding tobacco use and annual visits with your healthcare provider for a wellness exam.
Eating a heart-healthy diet is one of the most effective ways to improve or maintain your heart health. Here are seven steps you can take to improve your heart health by eating a healthy diet:
Choose Lower Fat Meats & Protein Sources
Many studies have shown that too much saturated fat in your diet can lead to high cholesterol. Saturated fat is found most commonly in foods from animals, such as high-fat cuts of meat, butter and lard, and whole-milk dairy products. Saturated fat is also found in vegetable and coconut oil. Your best bet is to limit these products in your diet or choose healthier alternatives like lean fish and skim milk.
Increase Fiber
Fiber in your diet is good for your overall health but may be especially beneficial for your heart health! Good sources of fiber include fresh vegetables, fruit with skin, beans and legumes, and whole-grains. Add fiber to your diet by adding berries to your cereal or black beans to your salad, or choosing the whole fruit instead of fruit juice.
Add Plant Stanols or Sterols
Plant stanols and sterols have been shown to lower your cholesterol when included in your diet. They naturally occur in many plants and have also been added to certain margarines and other products, like orange juice. Next time, choose a product that contains plant stanols or sterols to improve your heart health!
Avoid Trans Fat
Trans fat can raise your cholesterol levels, similar to saturated fat. Trans fat is found in foods made with hydrogenated oils, such as stick margarine, shortening, fried foods, donuts and pastries. Choose foods that say "No trans fat" or "trans fat-free."
Aim for a Healthy Weight
Being overweight increases your chances of developing high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. Losing weight also can improve your cholesterol levels. Control your portion sizes and calorie intake to reach a healthy weight to improve your heart health!
Hold the Salt
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. Many studies have found that reducing the amount of sodium in your diet can help lower your blood pressure. Limit the amount of salt in your diet by using spices and herbs instead. Also, pay attention to food labels and choose products with lower sodium.
Choose Healthy Fats Instead
Olive oil, canola oil, nuts, olives, avocados and fatty fish are common sources of healthier fats. Aim to include healthy fish in your diet twice a week and replace oils like vegetable and coconut oil with olive oil and canola oil.
Learn more about American Heart Month and tips for staying healthy from the American Heart Association. Cooking Light offers some basics on eating heart healthy, and we've also included some heart-healthy recipes you can try at home! Show your heart some love this February! Be heart healthy!

Brake Energy Regeneration.
Every time the brakes are hit, kinetic energy is generated and until recently this energy went unused. Brake Energy Regeneration takes advantage of this long-overlooked potential. It harnesses the coasting energy that is generated whenever the driver brakes or takes his or her foot off the accelerator and turns it into electricity.
This electricity is then used to charge the car battery. The intelligent energy management system means that the alternator no longer needs to run constantly, which reduces the strain on the generator. The result: reduced fuel consumption and increased performance – classic BMW EfficientDynamics.

The next phase in AUT's link to the International Space Station will take place tomorrow.
AUT University's radio astronomy observatory north of Auckland will track the re-entry into Earth's atmosphere of the first private space flight to the International Space Station (ISS).
California-based Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) launched its 55-metre tall Falcon 9 rocket, topped with the gumdrop-shaped Dragon space craft, from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday 22nd May.
Dragon successfully berthed at the ISS on Friday.
AUT University's Institute of Radio Astronomy and Space Research (IRASR) were contracted to track Dragon throughout its flight and on re-entry because of New Zealand's location and AUT's experience with space agencies including Nasa, JAXA, the European Space Agency and the Russian Space Agency.
Director of the IRASR, Professor Sergei Gulyaev said New Zealand will become more involved in space flights thanks to its "fantastic" location on the globe.
Using radio astronomy - tracking objects in space through radio frequencies - his team will have the world's best vantage point from which to monitor Dragon's descent as it splashes into the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of kilometres off the coast of California tomorrow night.
"New Zealand's unique location in the South Pacific means we will be able to see the spacecraft before the SpaceX team, and therefore be able to give them exact co-ordinates for its landing," he said.
"If needed they will be able to fine-tune the craft's trajectory using our radio telescope."
"We are basically the last point from where you can observe most of the descending trajectory. Our role is now getting more and more important because of our location."
IRASR will monitor up to 12 space flights a year for SpaceX, which is owned by PayPal founder Elon Musk.
Initial flights will deliver cargo but SpaceX will later transport ISS crews and eventually expand its service to private tourists.
"Our isolation used to be a problem, now it's our benefit," said Mr Gulyaev.
The re-entry is scheduled to take place tomorrow, with the departure from the ISS broadcast live on Nasa's website starting at 7.30pm (NZT).

Film about senior thesis performance wins award
Posted March 14, 2007; 08:58 p.m.
A documentary film that tells the behind-the-scenes story of a senior thesis performance by Anthony Roth Costanzo, a 2004 Princeton graduate, has won a 2007 director's choice award at the Black Maria Film and Video Festival.
"Zefirino: The Voice of a Castrato" demonstrates how Costanzo assembled a remarkable production to portray the lives of the castrati, male singers in 18th-century Italy who were castrated before puberty to maintain their soprano singing voices. Costanzo conceived of, co-wrote, produced and starred in the production, titled "The Double Life of Zefirino," as his senior thesis project. The performance, which included Costanzo singing six 18th-century arias, had costumes designed by acclaimed film director James Ivory, sets created in Milan and two professional dancers who helped convey the story of the castrati. The University Orchestra provided the music.
Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, a Princeton professor of French and Italian who taught Costanzo, was the film's producer. Award-winning filmmaker Gerardo Puglia directed and photographed the 23-minute film, which took two years to make and was supported by the offices of the president and the dean of the college. Puglia filmed Costanzo at rehearsals and his thesis performance in Princeton, and in Italy at the papal halls of the Vatican, the artists' workshops in Venice and the majestic San Carlo Theatre in Naples, where the castrati tradition began.
"The documentary highlights how creative students can be with the senior thesis at Princeton, one of the University's greatest traditions," Marrone-Puglia said. The thesis gives seniors the opportunity to pursue original research and scholarship on a topic of their own choice under the guidance of a faculty adviser. Costanzo's thesis adviser was Wendy Heller, associate professor of music.
Costanzo has performed professionally since the age of 11, and currently is enrolled in a master's degree program in opera at the Manhattan School of Music.
The film includes appearances by Nancy Malkiel, dean of the college; Michael Pratt, the orchestra's conductor; and members of the Princeton orchestra. Maria DiBattista, professor of English and comparative literature, was a consulting writer. The film will be shown in 70 cities in North America and then in Europe as part of the Black Maria Film Festival, an international juried competition and award tour that has been recognizing and exhibiting cutting-edge works from independent filmmakers since 1981.

Meanwhile, I was very pleased and honored to be selected for the MyHeritage Web Award, along with 99 other wonderful bloggers.
Congratulations to all of you. I plan to do some catching up this weekend, and visit each and everyone of you (as well as the blogs I normally follow - in many instances, they are one and the same!) in person to congratulate you.

Congratulations, Wendy!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Wendy! Have fun learning all about Native American genealogy. My husband's DNA test came back, and his heritage is Jewish. It makes sense if you read a little bit of Spanish history. It must be an ancient, ancient line. Anyways, off to hit the books to learn more because neither of us knows NADA about Jewish genealogy, culture etc. etc. Schelly Talalay Dardashti has been helpful to us, maybe there is a genea-blogger with Native American in their tree?ReplyDelete
Wendy, what wonderful news and congratulations to my cousin who has Poole in her genealogy! All kidding aside, I am very happy for you.ReplyDelete
Well done Wendy, Congratulations! I am a huge fan of your blog.ReplyDelete

Focus on Funds
Morning Read: Relative Value on the Rise
Market check: European markets decline Thursday and U.S. futures are slightly higher. Gold's price is even at $1.607.50 per ounce.
Fund watch: Relative value strategies recently became the biggest single chunk of the hedge-fund industry, notes my colleague Teresa Rivas. The group swelled by $41.4 billion in to$609 billion last year, meaning it has surpassed equity long/short investing by assets. As she quotes a research note by JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou: "The shift towards Relative Value hedge funds is not surprising given strong outperformance over the past years. Since the Lehman crisis, Relative Value hedge funds have steadily outperformed the overall Hedge Fund index; the shift also reflects greater demand by end investors for non-directional alpha."
In the news: Long-term mutual funds gained $7.6 billion for the latest week, according to the Investment Company Institute, with stock funds posting another good showing.
In case you missed it: Private equity is funding an explosion in walk-in health clinics.

If there's one thing rapper Ghost/Ryan Augustus/Ryan Doughty can now safely say, it's this: He's prolific. Since the middle of February, he's had vocals on 21 Educated Advocates tracks on Back to Class, 18 tracks on last month's Manic Mondays album, and now 23 tracks on his own brand-new solo album, Beats & Rhymes.
Yes, that's 62 songs, and a lot of rapping. There are plenty of good bands that never released 62 songs in their entire careers. It's a firehose of material, really, that can be hard to digest and parse.
Listening to the new record, taking any two-minute portion, you'd have a hard time knowing the difference between this and the previous two recent records. It continues what the Advocates and this movement of local rappers in general refer to as "new vintage," basically extending with some contemporary flavor the soul-heavy, boom-bap production of the hip hop that exploded in the early '90s with the likes of Tribe Called Quest's Low End Theory (1991), Arrested Development's 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of (1992), Wu Tang's Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers) (1993), and, notably because of the death last week of MCA, the Beastie Boys' Ill Communication (1994).
The latter was the first disc I spun when I heard the news, as it's the Beasties record I listened to by far the most, a combination of its greatness and me being a college sophomore when it dropped. Though it was a smash multi-platinum success, it's hard not to see it as an underground template for the future: 20 tracks long, with instrumental interludes and choice samples, guest turns from the likes of Biz Markie and Q-Tip ("Keep it Together" stands up amazingly well nearly 20 years later), and a playful attitude toward hip hop that meant just about anything was fair game, musically.
Augustus was clearly a fan. He even makes a "Sabotage" reference in "Rhyming in Paradise."
Taken as a whole, though, this record is a clear artistic departure from the other two recent works. Primarily because, as the first words spoken on the record make clear, "this is my life." While on those other two discs Augustus is always sharing creativity and the mic with at least two other MCs, here he can focus on his influences and life experiences, organized like a film, with an "Opening Scene" to kick things off and "Closing Credits" to finish things up (though it actually ends up spiraling into a 12-minute tune that features some of the best guest turns on the album and a cool Triumvrat sample — don't hit stop too early).
This isn't a singles album, either, with only maybe a third of the songs featuring proper choruses and most of the production leaning toward the chill-jam vibe. Plus, it's basically family-friendly. Despite hinting at life experiences that "would make a Cape Elizabeth housewife scream," Augustus keeps everything PG, other than a few naughty words introduced by a guest or two (Dray Senior and Shane Reis are notably good).

Loss of warming center limits options for homeless
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - As the snow falls and the temperature drops, warming centers like Fresh Start in Coeur d'Alene and St. Vincent de Paul are already seeing new faces looking for help.
Fresh Start is a safe haven for those with no roof over their head when the temperature drops below 25 degrees. Dean Berkness would know. He's toughed it out when it's just a few degrees warmer.
"In my vehicle it's pretty rough when it gets 25 degrees and below 54," Berkness said.Loss of warming center limits options for homeless
St. Vincent de Paul's is open under the same rules, that's when Ignite Hope came into play last year. It's doors were open every night.
"I came here and over there. I slept here too (at Fresh Start) when it was open. When this was closed I would go over there," Berkness said.
But for now, Ignite Hope is closed, because the building it used last year is now home to a manufacturing business. While Ignite Hope searches for a new location, many advocates are worried there won't be enough room to keep our the homeless warm this winter.
At this point both Fresh Start and St. Vincent de Paul do not know of any other warming center that's open every night regardless of the weather. It most likely means people will head towards their warming center for safety.
But there is one place that's easing some of the pressure, the new Union Gospel mission for women and children. It's housing over 20 people but they have to apply to get in.
In the meantime, people like Berkness say a long term shelter would be great, but is thankful for everything the community is already doing.
"I have a lot of help, they do help people as much as they can. It makes a difference," he said.

A Scout can be Trusted, a Scout is Trustworthy.
Rule or Reminder?
IF I am a person of character, a person that has grown with a set of Values, then do I need a rule to tell me to be Trustworthy? Ok.. so if I did not grow up with said values… do I still need a rule to be Trustworthy? How about Friendly, kind, and obedient? Rules or reminders?
Do I need a rule that tells me not to steal? Not to kill? Not to Lie?
Or do I need a reminder every once in a while to keep me on track.
I am amazed at how many rules and regulations we have in our world, many of which are just a waste of paper and ink. What is amazing about it is that we have to have them because for whatever reason people tend to break them. Some where along the way we as a society drifted away from the simple rule of "Doing unto others as we would have done to us". I believe they call it the "Golden Rule".
How simple it would be if we all just lived by that simple rule.
How simple it would be if we all just were Trustworthy and loyal to each other. Obedient and Cheerful? Kind and Courteous? The world would be so much a better place and we would not need so many rules.
When my Troop does any activity, weather that is a meeting or a camp out, a back pack trip or a trek in canoes, we have 1 set of rules… starts with Trustworthy, ends with reverent. The rest seems to take care of itself. Burdening them with rules for this and that are as ridiculous as the amount of laws and regulations our government imposes… and for what? The results are not that good, just look at the courts.
But look at a well run Scout Troop. 12 words, values, rules, reminders of how we should live our lives.
Enough said.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

5.80: Earth as a Magnet
Did you ever use a compass like the one in this picture? Even if you've never used a compass, you probably know that the needle of a compass always points north. That's because a compass needle is magnetized, so it is attracted by a magnet.
Q: What magnet attracts a compass needle?
A: A compass needle is attracted by magnet Earth. It always points north because Earth acts as a giant magnet.
Earth's Magnetic Poles
Imagine a huge bar magnet passing through Earth's axis, as in the Figure below. This is a good representation of Earth as a magnet. Like a bar magnet, Earth has north and south magnetic poles. A magnetic pole is the north or south end of a magnet, where the magnet exerts the most force.
Two North Poles
Although the needle of a compass always points north, it doesn't point to Earth's north geographic pole. Find the north geographic pole in the sketch below. As you can see, it is located at 90 ° north latitude. Where does a compass needle point instead? It points to Earth's north magnetic pole, which is located at about 80 ° north latitude. Earth also has two south poles: a south geographic pole and a south magnetic pole.
Q: The north end of a compass needle points toward Earth's north magnetic pole. The like poles of two magnets repel each other, and the opposite poles attract. So why doesn't the north end of a compass needle point to Earth's south magnetic pole instead?
A: The answer may surprise you. The compass needle actually does point to the south pole of magnet Earth. However, it is called the north magnetic pole because it is close to the north geographic pole. This naming convention was adopted a long time ago to avoid confusion.
Earth's Magnetic Field
Like all magnets, Earth has a magnetic field. Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. You can see a model of the magnetosphere below. It is a huge region that extends outward from Earth in all directions. Earth exerts magnetic force over the entire field, but the force is strongest at the poles, where lines of force converge. For an animated model of the magnetosphere, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SXgOWYyn84&feature=related
- Earth acts as a giant magnet with magnetic poles and a magnetic field over which it exerts magnetic force.
- Earth has north and south magnetic poles like a bar magnet. Earth's magnetic poles are not the same as the geographic poles.
- Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. It is strongest at the poles.
- magnetic pole: North or south end of a magnet where the magnet exerts the most force.
- magnetosphere: Region surrounding Earth that is affected by Earth's magnetic force; name for Earth's magnetic field.
At the following URL, use the simulation to explore Earth's magnetic field. Then write a paragraph to describe your observations. http://www.windows2universe.org/physical_science/magnetism/earth_magnet_dipole_interactive.html
- How does Earth act as a bar magnet?
- The compass in a car shows that the car is moving north. Does this mean that the car is moving toward 90 ° north latitude? Why or why not?
- Describe the magnetosphere.

TUPELO – Three Tupelo firefighters were a part of the first Mississippi Emergency Management task force to be sent out of state for emergency response when they went to Maryland to assist in Hurricane Sandy rescue efforts.
Capt. James Cunningham, Adam Holt and Chris Watkins left Tupelo on Monday afternoon and met up with swiftwater rescue crews from Columbus, Hattiesburg and DeSoto County before driving all night to Baltimore County, Md.
Tupelo Fire Chief Thomas Walker said he is proud of having an emergency rescue team respond to an out-of-state disaster.
"This is something that we have been working for since before Katrina," Walker said. "We've been trying to get labeled as a Level 1 response team and this verifies that all our training and the homeland security money we've been entrusted with has paid off."
The Mississippi team was tasked with handling any swiftwater response in northern Maryland between the Chesapeake Bay and mountain terrain to the west.
Watkins said the people of Maryland treated them with great hospitality.
Holt said while the job was the same, the terrain and weather were much different from emergency response in Mississippi.
"We drove through a blizzard on the way to a hurricane," Holt said. "It was definitely different – different terrain and completely different weather."
The team was on standby for two days following the brunt of the storm and was not needed to make any rescues.
"Maryland had their ducks in a row for sure – calling in plenty of outside help before the incident," Holt said. "There was talk of us being sent further north after Maryland but by the time we were released, we weren't needed in New Jersey or New York."
Cunningham said even though they didn't have to perform any rescues, responding out of state is monumental for MEMA and the Tupelo Fire Department.
"We're pretty excited about it," Cunningham said. "It puts us on the FEMA list for any possible future deployments. The chances of us getting deployed have probably gone up drastically. We have quite a few guys that are cross-trained in different jobs in the task force and any time we have an opportunity to use those skills, we're excited to, even if it's in another state."

Hollywood composer Klaus Badelt, electronica trio Noisia, pioneering turntablist DJ Shadow and award-winning producer Elite Force created the perfect soundtrack to one of the most engaging racing games on PlayStation 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse.
With a mixture of haunting orchestral arrangements and adrenaline pumping beats, there are 28 tunes spanning nearly 80 minutes of music to get you ready for a great time.
The record breaker - echochrome ii
Perfect for: Reading or relaxing.
The mind-bending PlayStation Move puzzle game on PS3 is known for its incredible optical illusions, obstacles and mystery. Now it's known for another amazing feat: being accepted into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest single music track in video game history.
At 75 minutes and 7 seconds long, echochrome ii's single track is a majestic journey of pianos and string driven music that took five continuous days to compose. Its beautiful, complex melodies are sure to relax you after a hard day's work.
The tear-jerker - Heavy Rain
Perfect for: Writing that edgy movie script you've been putting off.
One of the most memorable games ever created, Heavy Rain's soundtrack suits its gameplay - emotional, intense and passionate. The haunting orchestral composition of the PS3 adventure title was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, England, and creates a powerful atmosphere for some of the game's most unforgettable moments.
The mood lifter - Flower
Perfect for: Putting your feet up and appreciating beauty.
Composed by Vincent Diamante, Flower's soundtrack runs to over an hour of enchanting music breezily complements the PS3 game which has been described as a visual poem.
Like Flower's gameplay, the soundtrack drifts, glides and soars you through its beautiful, delicate sounds, transporting you to a dreamlike world of wonder. Flower's music is exactly what you want to listen to when you're a little blue and need a gentle lift.
The world beater - Journey
Perfect for: A little more artistic appreciation and relaxation
If you're after the perfect follow up to Flower, the hauntingly uplifting Journey soundtrack is just the ticket to some thoughtful relaxation. Featuring the talents of critically acclaimed composer Austin Wintory, the Journey soundtrack has already topped the worldwide iTunes charts, becoming one of the best-selling albums across the globe on the popular music service.
The excitement builder - the Uncharted series
Perfect for: Going on a mysterious road trip.
With the fantastic Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception on PS3 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss on PlayStation Vita wowing audiences everywhere, it should come as no surprise that the series has a special soundtrack to match its action-packed adventures.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Uncharted: Golden Abyss each have a downloadable score with dozens of tracks that capture the thrills of the classic PlayStation series, creating an atmosphere that's exotic, heroic and exhilarating. If you want to feel like a daring adventurer, download these soundtracks from PlayStation Store today.
The blood-pumper - the God of War series
Perfect for: Conquering your fears.
Drums, horns and dramatic chanting - it can only be the music that accompanies the epic God of War titles on PS3 and PSP. The games which broke new ground for the action adventure genre see anti-hero Kratos rip through Greek myth and legend on a rampaging romp of revenge. So it's only fitting that his soundtrack is full of epic, chest-thumping orchestral energy.
Whether you're pumping yourself up for a skydive or getting ready to take down Zeus, the God of War Trilogy Soundtrack and God of War: Ghost of Sparta Original Soundtrack will make you feel as powerful as Kratos himself.
The difference makers - inFAMOUS 2, Resistance 3 and Unit 13
Perfect for: When you want something a little out of the ordinary.
The innovative use of bins, water jugs and broken glass for the inFAMOUS soundtrack on PS3 sets the tone for inFAMOUS 2's score, which is available to download in two forms: The Red Soundtrack and The Blue Soundtrack.
Composers Jim Dooley and JD Mayer worked with New Orleans band Galactic and former Guns N' Roses drummer, Bryan Mantia, to create a diverse sound for the city of New Marais. An electric fusion of orchestral, jazz, rock and funk is the result, delivering a grand sense of drama to match the heroic - or more dastardly - deeds of Cole MacGrath.
With 22 tracks, The Blue Soundtrack features over 74 minutes of music to suit your heroic side, while The Red Soundtrack lets you walk on Cole's darker path with over 77 minutes of menacing musical accompaniment, spread across 22 tracks.
Similarly atmospheric is Boris Salchow's Resistance 3 soundtrack and Justin Burnett's score for PS Vita special forces title Unit 13. Both are full of danger, adrenaline and intrigue that are sure to offer a bit of orchestral diversity to your collection.
The perky motorist - ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Perfect for: A jaunty pick-me-up
Fancy moving to more racing music? Then the ModNation Racers: Road Trip soundtrack should get your toes tapping with the inspirational musical musings of talented artists Lovechild, Brain, BZ Lewis, Woody Jackson, Melissa Reese and Headquarters Music.
Honourable mentions
Don't miss these three hidden gems that are sure to have you humming along to them:
Shatter - A respectful nod to classic video game music, electro, '80s new wave and glam rock, Shatter's soundtrack is a rich and unique audio experience.
The Fight - Want to scratch a hip hop itch? Twenty-eight tracks from the likes of Mr Mensah, SharpNine and John Fulford are sure to do the trick with The Fight's hard-hitting soundtrack.
PixelJunk Eden - Enter the blissfully minimalistic delight of 12 techno tracks created in collaboration with the acclaimed DJ Baiyon. The PixelJunk Eden Album captures the magical feel of the refreshingly original platform game.
There's music to suit every mood on PlayStation - and some of the very best soundtracks are awaiting you at PlayStation Store. Download them now and dive into a musical feast for all tastes.

The Pirates on Monday acquired first baseman Chris McGuiness from the Texas Rangers organization in exchange for right-hander Miles Mikolas.
McGuiness, 25, made his major league debut in 2013. He spent most of the season with Class AAA Round Rock, where he hit .246 with a .369 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 436 plate appearances. He hit 23 home runs while with Class AA Frisco in 2012.
The Rangers designated the left-handed McGuiness for assignment last week to make room for Shin-Soo Choo on the 40-man roster. The Pirates added McGuiness to their 40-man, according to their official Web site Monday. He still has minor league options remaining and could begin the season at Class AAA Indianapolis.
The Boston Red Sox originally drafted McGuiness in the 13th round out of the Citadel in 2009. He went to Texas in the deal that brought Jarrod Saltalamacchia to Boston. The Cleveland Indians selected him in the 2012 Rule 5 draft, but returned him to Texas.
The Pirates traded for Mikolas, 25, in late November. They received Mikolas and outfielder Jaff Decker from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Alex Dickerson. Mikolas pitched in two games for the Padres in 2013, but had a 3.62 ERA in 25 relief appearances in '12.

Food prices in New Zealand have dropped for the fourth straight month, led by cheaper non-alcoholic drinks such as juice and coffee, according to latest figures.
Statistics New Zealand said today that food prices fell 0.2 per cent in December compared to November and were down 1 per cent on a year earlier.
The Food Price Index (FPI) peaked last year in July and August but has declined every month since.
"Food prices fell in December, reflecting cheaper prices for non-alcoholic drinks that were partly countered by higher prices for chicken and seasonal price rises for fruit," said Statistics NZ prices manager Chris Pike.
In the non-alcoholic beverages category, the biggest falls were coffee (down 5.6 per cent), fruit juice (down 6.1 per cent), and soft drinks (down 2.6 per cent).
Pike said all three were cheaper because of shop discounts.
Chicken pieces became more expensive but lamb prices plummeted 14 per cent, the lowest since February 2009.
Fruit and vegetables rose 0.7 per cent, with apples, potatoes and kiwifruit all seeing double-digit price seasonal lifts.
Tomato and broccoli-lovers will have been happy though, as prices for both fell by about 30 per cent last month and are 75 per cent lower than their off-season peak in August 2012.
On an annual basis, grocery food was down 3.6 per cent compared to a year ago.
Dairy prices are also significantly lower, with fresh milk down 9.4 per cent and cheese down 8.2 per cent.
Statistics NZ visits shops across New Zealand to collect prices for the FPI and check package sizes.

Blood gases is a measurement of how much oxygen and carbon dioxide is in your blood. It also determines the acidity (pH) of your blood.
Arterial blood gas analysis; ABG
Usually, blood is taken from an artery. The blood may be collected from the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groin, or the brachial artery in the arm.
The health care provider may test circulation to the hand before taking a sample of blood from the wrist area.
The health care provider will insert a small needle through the skin into the artery. You can choose to have numbing medicine (anesthesia) applied to the site before the test begins.
In some cases, blood from a vein may be used.
After the blood is taken, pressure is applied to the site for a few minutes to stop the bleeding. The health care provider will watch the site for signs of bleeding or circulation problems.
The sample must be quickly sent to a laboratory for analysis to ensure accurate results.
There is no special preparation. If you are on oxygen therapy, the oxygen concentration must remain constant for 20 minutes before the test.
You may feel brief cramping or throbbing at the puncture site.
The test is used to evaluate respiratory diseases and conditions that affect the lungs. It helps determine the effectiveness of oxygen therapy. The test also provides information about the body's acid/base balance, which can reveal important clues about lung and kidney function and the body's general metabolic state.
See also:
Values at sea level:
Note: mEq/L = milliequivalents per liter; mmHg = millimeters of mercury
At altitudes of 3,000 feet and above, the oxygen values are lower.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may be due to lung, kidney, or metabolic diseases. Head or neck injuries or other injuries that affect breathing can also lead to abnormal results.
There is very little risk when the procedure is done correctly. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with this test may include:
Tell your health care provider if you are taking any blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), including aspirin.
Call your health care provider if you notice bleeding, bruising, numbness, tingling, or change in skin color at the puncture site.

Where I stayed
Bali Garden Hotel Resort And Spa
At our new hotel I saw my cousin Kaity (she's not really my cousin) and I saw Aunty Sam and Uncle Will and Callum, Riley and Liam. Their friends Lisa, Trevor and their kids Cooper, Zac and Talita are here too. There are heaps of kids in the pool now and it's really fun.
We swam in the pool for hours and I got really sun burnt.
I had lunch at the pool and then we all went out for dinner in Poppies Lane.
When we got back after dinner I had to do my homework, then we all went to sleep.

Age: 47
Occupation: Self-employed writer, former cook, bartender, legislator, and Secretary of State
Family status: Married, one child
Do you believe the federal government has struck the proper balance between protecting civil liberties and providing physical security?
No. The USA Patriot Act and the Real ID Act along with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security represent some of the greatest departures from the spirit of freedom since the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts. I fought the Real ID Act for what it is--a cynical, anti-immigrant bill. Targeting state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards, the legislation defied logic--after all, the 9/11 hijackers didn't get into this country with driver's licenses, they got in with visas issued by the State Department, who processes are not affected by the Act. But the mechanism of Real ID, like the Patriot Act, provides many more tools for government to watch us and monitor our activities, a capacity I find abhorrent. What has kept us safe is old-fashioned intelligence and detective work, not monitoring the movements of Americans.
Do you support a cap-and-trade system of greenhouse-gas limitation?
Yes. But cap-and-trade is only a stopgap solution; we need to migrate away from our primary dependence on fossil fuels that create greenhouse gases, and embrace sustainable and efficient energy sources through mass transit, more efficient and sustainable home heating sources, and electrical generation.
Do you believe the federal government should do more to help students afford college?
Yes. We haven't had a major educational initiative in generations. While we are all familiar with the GI Bill, Pell grants and Stafford loans, the lack of public support for public higher education has driven costs skyward, leaving students and families to foot the bill. We need a bold initiative to relieve college loan debt and to bolster the capacity of our public institutions of higher learning and our students' access to them so that we can remain competitive.
Do you believe health-insurance plans should cover contraception without co-pays?
Yes. Family planning helps everyone achieve the goals of healthy families, and a woman's right to choose should be guarded beyond the narrow barriers of philosophy.
Will you vote to end the Bush-era tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans?
Yes. These tax cuts are undermining our nation's ability to succeed and provide all Americans with the resources they need to rebuild the American economy, through deteriorating infrastructure, tight credit, and lack of access to health care and education. Our tax burden is our share of our patriotic duty to support the nation that sustains us. Everyone should share that burden.
In 10 words or fewer, please express your view on Congressional compromise.
The role of government is finding agreement, not picking sides.

Teisco / Kawai Synthesizer 100F
Although Kawai began manufacturing synthesizers under the company name of Teisco, they soon took over as Kawai which resulted in synths like the S100F above which can be found labeled either Teisco or Kawai (as pictured above). The Synthesizer 100F is a very good and classic single-vco monophonic analog synth. It has a small but usable 37 note keyboard. Sawtooth, square and noise waveforms and external sounds can be run through the synth's filters and envelopes and mixed with the oscillator.
Although there is only one oscillator, there's plenty of modulation ability to really liven up the sound. There's an LFO which can modulate the VCO, VCF and VCA. The VCF resonant filter is good and can be modulated by the LFO, Envelope 1, the external input or even the VCO! There's also a VCA section with Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release controls and finally there's a Hi-Pass filter. There is also a portamento effect for that final crucial analog synth effect! A typical analog synth with just about all the features and functions you'd need. It's got the classic wood side panels and a front panel layout that leads to very straight forward programming resulting in good analog bass, lead and synth sounds.

No Hurricanes!

License: CC BY-NC 3.0
The 2013 hurricane season was predicted to be stronger than average, but the season was almost record quiet. Mid-range forecasting is different from shorter (weather) or longer (climate) time frames.
Why It Matters
- Weather predictions go out several days. Climate forecasting extends out years. Between those two, forecasting what will happen in weeks or months is different.
- Mid-range forecasts are strengthened when more groups combine their predictions.
- Forecasting the Atlantic hurricane season is important to insurance companies and government agencies.

why did all the GMs canadiates turn us down last year
PHINTIM: this is the biggest myth of the gm search.
they did not ALL turn us down. ray farmer did because he knew he had his cleveland gig and wanted to have interest perceived. good negotiation tool. he was never coming here no matter what and he wouldnt have had the ass load of high draft pics here waiting on him as he did in clevelands draft this year. he didnt get handed the team that hickey got. his star isnt as shiney as it appears.
the last guy, bill billicheks coffee catcher, was rumored to have "turned it down" but its funny how he didnt go on ANY other interviews. and then at the last moment he decides to interview with us. short visit and gone. what was that about? very odd. he came for something but it wasnt about being our gm. he is back being the same old janitor, filing cabinet, coffee running, boot shining, jack of all nothing he was before he interviewed here.
and remember, THIS WAS AN INTERVIEW PROCESS. the dolphins didnt set up interviews for all to say no. they probably had a few guys who would have done it but the FINZ said no. this business of everyone turning us down is garbage and has NO proof or credibility!!
and this hickey as last resort was just as bad. i think he was the 3rd guy interviewed and first reports the day fater said he "knocked it out of the park"!!
all along, from the beginning, ross said they would be taking there time and doing thorough interviews with several candidates. NO ONE would get handed the job off the bat. i think gamble was the first choice but when gamble decided he was staying in philly and not taking a job ANYWHERE ELSE [and he didnt. he could of had any gm gig he wanted] they began with others they held high. and i believe hickey was top two or 3 all along. but they did as they said they would, FINISH THE PROCESS and cover all bases.
but the oranges, who were all mad when THEIR guy didnt get hired [of course from them, their guy turned us down] no one else Would do and sucked. hickey will never get a fair deal from them and no matter what, they will always say he was a panic choice. the last guy in line [even though he was the 3rd interview] and never did anything worth note in the 18 years he spent in tampa.
this is just another of the misconceptions, myths and lies that need to be put to rest.

Q: All of my 14 various tomato plants are stunted. Instead of growing upwards they are sprouting lots of laterals, so they resemble small bushes. They are otherwise green and looking okay. We have put sheep pellets, compost and seaweed in the garden, and I also added Epsom salts and milk powder around them as you have suggested. Is this due to an imbalance in the soil, too much Epsom salt, or is it likely to be a virus/viroid? Should I pull all the plants out? - Verena Jonker
A: Besides all being miniature varieties, the answer could be a lack of calcium in the soil. Dress the plants with gypsum. Another answer could be irregular watering. Go for little and often and see if that makes a difference.
Q: I have a loquat tree that for the first two years bore fruit, but in the last two years we have had nothing. We do have bees around, so that's not the problem. Can you tell me how I can get it back to fruiting as it is only a young tree? - Thanks, Maureen
A: The loquat is a very hardy tree that actually does reasonably well in New Zealand conditions. One of the classic problems is overfeeding. With this tree, less is more. Also, if the tree is young, its fruiting will improve in quality and regularity as it ages.
As I'm learning myself, good things take time.
Q: After removing my broad bean plants, I read in your advice that I should now dress this garden with sheep pellets and compost. Is there any reason why I cannot use chicken manure instead of sheep pellets? - Thanks, Hedd
A: No reason at all. In fact, chicken manure has the highest concentration of nitrogen of any animal manure, so at this stage in your crop rotation cycle chicken poo is a great idea. For those of you without hens though, sheep poo is good too.
Q: I planted a tamarillo in a sheltered part of my Hamilton garden a year ago. It grew fast to 3m and has lots of flowers, but its branches keep breaking off. It can't be wind in this situation, but I come out and find another branch simply torn off - anything from half the tree to minor ones. It's as if the whole plant needs scaffolding to keep it together. What is causing this and what can I do? - Many thanks, Judy
A: Fruit on a tamarillo is produced on the current season's growth. Older limbs can be more fragile than the younger ones, so I suggest pruning the older limbs back to encourage new growth. Shade can also play a part, as new growth becomes softer with less available light. Feed and keep the trunk well mulched.
Q: The vegetable garden has kikuyu in it. It has been left for many years and is now completely taken over. I don't want to use chemical sprays. What could I do? - Thanks, Tracey
A: Cover the ground with thick brown cardboard and spread a 100mm thick layer of bagged compost or planting mix over the top, followed by pea straw. Make sure the cardboard is overlapping and at least two cartons thick. Plant young seedlings straight into the compost/planting mix. Over six months or so the kikuyu will become unviable, while the condition of the soil under the garden will improve no end.

Mudi is one of the most uncommon midsized Hungarian dogs. It is mainly a herding coat which comes with a smooth face and curly, thick furs. In fact, the thick and shiny hair of the dog makes it rather unique. These dogs have a long head with pointed nose, which gives the dog a cute look. Most of the Mudi puppies are born without a tail and it is something which isn't very uncommon about these dogs. Interestingly, the breed is not very new and is almost 100 years old. Even though the dog is not very popular till now, it is gaining popularity due to its energetic and versatile nature.
Mudi dogs serve mainly as sheep herder, cow herder, mice killers, hunting dogs and more. That's not all, presently; the dog is also used as fountain rescue dogs. Coming to the nature and characteristics of these dogs, these have an endless list of talents which combines with their pleasant personality. In fact, this is what makes them one of the best rare breeds. Since these are rare breeds, there are only a few handful owners of their kind.
Mudi dogs are not all moody. In fact, finding a moody Mudi is rare than the breed itself. These dogs are extremely loving, gentle and have a good reputation of being a great companion. Apart from this, a Mudi dogs are extremely strong and brave and can go to any extent to defend their owners. Even though they are friendly, their friendly nature doesn't go beyond the unfamiliar. They don't trust strangers quickly, but aren't aggressive towards them, either. All they need is some time to get acquainted with new people around them.
These dogs are safe with children provided they are raised from their puppy hood. Along with this, they are also pretty good with other dogs and non canine pets, provided they are introduced properly. Overall, this uncommon breed of dog is rather a friendly companion.

Small Cells Could Solve AT&T's Data Problem
It looks as though AT&T Mobility has developed a small cell solution to the wireless industry's spectrum shortage — a data capacity problem that will affect customers of every carrier. AT&T's is not the only solution — there will be others as well — but it is an important one. The wireless industry has been dealing with this ever since the explosion of smartphones several years ago. The system is increasingly stressed with many customers using so much wireless data. The problem is spectrum. It's limited.

The $130 billion telecom deal being discussed by Vodafone and Verizon Communications kept this week's technology news interesting.
Otherwise, it was a sleepy five days for tech research and sound bites.
Vodafone's possible sale of its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless, to parent Verizon, could mean a big, one-time payout for Vodafone investors. If the deal comes to pass, it's likely Vodafone will pay some kind of special dividend, pay down debt to improve its credit and stash some cash for acquisitions, Markit says.
Verizon Communications (VZ) stock performance was essentially flat for the week. The stock fell nearly 1% to $47.38 Friday. Vodafone (VOD) shares rose 8% on the week. On Friday, Vodafone rose 1.7% to $32.35.
Bell (BCE), Canada's largest communications company, rolled up the welcome mat as Verizon-Vodafone discussions were confirmed. Plenty of Canadians are wondering what's next for Verizon in the Great White North.
Shares of Garmin (GRMN) spiked Thursday, possibly as Garmin short-sellers took cover. But Garmin shares were flat on the week.
A massive buyback would be better for Microsoft (MSFT) shareholders

Imagine the sight of brilliant yellow finches, red cardinals, azure blue jays and orange orioles fluttering here and there in your backyard. Picture them eating, bathing, singing, and raising their young all within a few feet, on the other side of your windows or on the edge of your patio. It can happen.
Anyone can invite wild birds to their backyard, regardless of where they live or how large or small their property. Even people with no more than a balcony or a window ledge can have wild birds in their daily lives.
The three essential ingredients required to sustain wild birds, indeed all life on earth, are food, water and cover. If you can provide the right types of their survival necessities, in the right places at the right times, you will have maximum numbers and varieties of wild birds to enjoy every day of your life. These three essential ingredients can be miniaturized and located on balconies and windows and windowsills, to achieve the same positive effects on wild birds.
