If you've never seen a film by Werner Herzog, you absolutely must. Here are three great, strange films.
Aguirre is the story of a 16th Century expedition to South America. The story is told with minimal dialogue but astonishing imagery. The opening titles occur as the men of Pizarro are making a long trek down a mountainside that lasts for some time, but is hypnotic to watch. The mountain is so high that the peak is hidden within the clouds. The explorers, conquistadors, are searching for the El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, and are becoming more and more frustrated at their lack of success.
A smaller party led by a nobleman, Don Pedro, scouts upriver. Aguirre, played by the mesmerizing Klaus Kinski, is Pedro's second-in-command. Their journey is slow and full of death and madness, with the alienness of the river and forest always creeping in as if these men (and two women, one of them Aguirre's daughter) are on another planet. One of the movie's strengths is the way it makes the rainforest jungle feel alive; the film would not be as powerful without it. My favorite image in the film is of a boat, high in the branches of a tree that seems dozens of feet high. How did it get there? Imagining that is enough to dizzy the senses.
Aguirre engineers power plays between some of the men, ingratiating himself to whomever will lead. One man, Ursua, declares himself their emperor, and Aguirre seems pleased to be the strongman behind the throne, as if imagining himself as a powerful general in El Dorado. Aguirre will not let the mission be slowed, violently making an example of one man who talks of mutiny by cutting off his head in full view of everyone else. But one by one, the crew succumbs to madness and disease, until only he is left, still talking to himself and planning his empire, sailing off alone into the mists towards his inevitable death (one assumes).
Aguirre, the Wrath of God is a film that hypnotizes and at times repulses the viewer, but a movie that is never boring and always interesting.
Werner Herzog likes to make the audience feel removed from reality in his films, so it is no surprise that he would remake Dracula by remaking F. W. Murnau's classic 1922 film Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens. Herzog goes Murnau one better by keeping the names from Dracula (Murnau changed the names when he couldn't get the rights to the novel).
The film is more stylish than most versions of Dracula. The action takes place during a plague, and rats and dead bodies line the streets, making the appearance of the count's victims less shocking. Herzog equates vampirism not with evil, but with an illness, which takes over the mind of Nosferatu's protege, Jonathan Harker, who becomes a vampire at the end of the film. Also, Herzog knows that the best horror stories are really dark fairy tales, and instead of trying to shock the audience, he creates a mood and tone that envelops the viewer into observing, even sympathizing with, acts of depravity. The film moves slow and lingers in shadows, creating a feeling of inevitability.
Klaus Kinski plays the vampire, and Herzog puts him in makeup similar to that worn by Max Shreck in the 1922 version. The makeup – long front teeth, pale skin, ears that appear to be withering, very long fingernails – take Dracula away from the romantic figure of many films, and turn him into an animal dying a slow death. His lust for blood is a disease feeding itself; like the parasites spreading the plague among the dead rats and humans in the street, vampirism becomes a parasite that preys on the soul and the mind, inexorable and slow.
This was Herzog's second film, and as far as I know, one of only two films with a cast of only little people. Dwarf inmates at an asylum have revolted against one of the directors, who has locked himself in his office with a hostage. The director is forced to watch and await the return of the asylum principal while the inmates run amok.
The inmates, however, don't know where to go or what to do with their freedom, so they spend most of their time destroying things: telephone poles, typewriters, and other symbols of civilization, but also trees and pigs. They set a car racing in a circle and leave it there, spinning around and around and returning to it occasionally to play with it or throw things at it. They amuse themselves by taunting the blind inmates, trying (unsuccessfully) to get two inmates to have sex with one another, and burning flowers. Every attempt at civilization – such as the dinner scene where one inmate tries to say grace before the food begins to fly – is a mockery. Even the chickens resort to cannibalism, pecking at one another and eating their dead.
The movie is full of Herzog's sense of alien imagery that astonishes the viewer – chickens eating one another, the inmates slowly circling in on the blind, the cruel crucifixion of a monkey in a total mockery of religion. They finally set two roosters on one another in a graphic fight to the death. But aside from the look of the film, Herzog's tone is striking. As always, scenes that could degenerate into wild chaos are calm, lingering, allowing the full effect of weirdness to envelop the viewer. It is not shocking or scary, but discomforting and strange. Herzog is making the case that the sane (the director) are prisoners in a surrounding and encroaching world with no order, no conventions, and no laws. In the end, the director succumbs to madness himself, and the final, unforgettable image of one inmate laughing at the pain of a camel that cannot raise itself gives no hint to the end of the insanity.

You Got Some Wrong-Headed Views, Boy!
It's no secret that I hate fandom and fandom hates me. It's been suggested to me in the past that I have wrongheaded views of the genre. That I go against the "common" wisdom of the other fans, and am therefore somehow wrong in my opinions--which, as I point out repeatedly, cannot be right or wrong by definition. They just are, and that's that. And so, because I apparently don't piss off enough people, I proudly and confidently (or, perhaps, stridently) state my wrongheaded views.
1. Flash Gordon is more fun than Star Wars.
Who wants to live in a world where individual will means nothing? In the world of Flash Gordon, the 1980 film generally considered a disaster, an average football player of less than average intelligence goes to Mongo, turns on a hot Italian princess, ends rivalry between tribes, fights for his life, overthrows an evil emperor and saves the Earth in the process. None of that destiny crap, just a lot of fun. Sure, it has a crappy rock soundtrack, ridiculous costumes, and barely passable special effects, but it doesn't take itself so damn seriously.
2. Who cares about children's cartoons from twenty years ago?
The year is 1986. My favorite shows on television are Transformers and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. I am ridiculed in school, lose literally every one of my friends, and even get beat up because I make no secret of my continuing love for children's cartoons and action figures. I am ten years old. Did this happen to anyone else? Excuse me if it rankles me that comic book publishers and toy manufacturers are making money hand over fist off guys who felt they had to grow up faster and miss their childhoods. Suddenly, two decades later, it's cool to like this junk? I've gone back and looked at those shows, and Thundercats, and Masters of the Universe, and what have you from the eighties, and it's all stuff that only a kid could love. Nostalgia overlooks the flaws. Sure, I was still ten and loved cartoons, but I didn't grow up to become a firefighter and have my name legally changed to Optimus Prime, like some loser in New Jersey did.
3. Howard the Duck is a pretty good movie.
I know, I know, anything George Lucas does that isn't Star Wars sucks; but I liked the movie. True, it's a terrible adaptation of the comic – it has a duck named Howard who comes to Earth and meets a girl named Beverly, and there the similarities end – but it doesn't take itself seriously and is actually pretty funny. Really, is it too much to ask that movies be enjoyable rather than groundbreaking? The term "groundbreaking," as people use it today, seems to mean that it's boring as hell but has excellent special effects – Star Wars, The Matrix, etc.
4. Alan Moore is overrated.
Sure, he's a genius. I'd put anything he wrote over anything by, say, the current top writer in comics, Brian Michael Bendis. But here's the difference between the two: Bendis can write six issues of a comic book in under two years. I'm sorry, but when you're writing a monthly comic book – or even a bi-monthly one, for that matter – is it too much to ask that you do the work before you reap the benefits? His writing is impressive, but it might be more impressive if he had the ability to meet his third deadline, much less his first. I know we humble readers aren't supposed to demand unfinished work, but when you have a schedule to keep, act like a professional.
5. Steven Spielberg is a dope.
This guy's completely forgotten how to make a film. Sure, he had talent once, despite overdoing the emotion and not being very thoughtful. My own feeling is that he's made about six truly great films, possibly seven, and now the guy just sucks. He makes formless, unwieldy entities, with acts that go on too long and come to no real conclusions. He has nothing to say, and he takes nearly three hours to say things like "war is bad" and "I hate my mother" and little else. Sorry, maybe he had the magic once, but it is long gone. And it applies to his vanity label of a company, DreamWorks SKG, Universal's Oscar-baiting bitch. They are currently putting out not only the worst films in America, but some of the worst films ever made.
Corollary to this is my opinion that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is way better than Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. If Raiders of the Lost Ark was a 1930s serial, then Temple of Doom was a 1950s jungle adventure flick. Some of the grosser moments (monkey brains, Mola Ram pulling a heart out of someone's chest) and some of the more annoying moments (Kate Capshaw's entire performance) have ensured that all anyone remembers these days is the furor over the ratings, leading (along with Gremlins) to the PG-13 rating. But the movie is fast, fun, and has some very memorable shots. Last Crusade may have had Sean Connery, but it plays like a remake of Raiders (all the same characters in the Middle Eastern deserts looking for a Christian relic) as an apology for Temple of Doom. Connery's presence is appropriate, because much like the Bond films, you could feel the formula setting in.
Another corollary to this is that I am dreading a fourth Indiana Jones movie, because there seems to be no reason for it. Indy was a childish character whose only real friends were other adventurers, weak older men, and children. But at the end of the third film, he finally gained his father's acceptance, and he doesn't really need to be Indy anymore. He's a whole person. Besides, do we really want to see it from this Spielberg – given the shape he's in now, we'll have a formless, boring, heavily backlit three-hour sleeping pill with yet another meandering score by John Williams desperately wishing he was Claude Debussy.
6. Can we at least wait for things to be successful before the marketing blitz comes out?
Come on, guys – statues for characters in a comic book miniseries that hasn't even come out yet? Really shows you what companies think of comic book fans – we might as well just have dollar signs instead of faces. The worst is when they try to play up the sexiness of a character as a turn on for (hopefully) the prepubescent boys. It's a drawing, guys, try to show a little dignity. Sneak a look at your daddy's Playboys, that's what they're there for.
7. Manga and anime are largely crap.
Generally, people fall in love with the first anime they ever see; for me, that would be No Need for Tenchi! – at least, that's the first anime I saw that I knew was anime; a few years ago it became "okay" for people to like Transformers: The Movie and ThunderCats because they realized these were made by Japanese studios. And, really, I have no time for it anymore, because I got tired of seeing the same thing over and over and over again. Most of it is either a group of teenagers with powers (and sexy misunderstandings), cute young girls with bunnies and crap, giant robot stuff, vampire stuff, and tentacle porn. That covers about 90% of the genre. Really, I only appreciate the (very) occasional film or anything by Hayao Miyazaki. Too much of what comes over here is lowbrow crap tailored for tech nerds, geeks whose greatest dream is to copulate with their computers, and child molesters. The porn is only distinguishable from the rest by the nudity. The comic books are even worse, and up until recently it was very cool for American artists to rip off the style, which was irritating (Jill Thompson doesn't know what she's doing anymore). I just have no interest in it, and with the exception of Musashi Tanaka's wonderful Gon graphic novels and the much welcome reprints of Lone Wolf and Cub, I have no time for it.
8. Invader ZIM, Farscape, and Futurama are canceled: GET OVER IT.
You didn't even watch them when they were originally on, anyway, so don't get all indignant now that they're gone. Without vocal and monetary support, these shows go away because they're too smart for people. It may sound like a cruel thing to say, but science fiction shows are thoughtful (if they're good and aren't, say, StarGate or any Star Trek series), and people don't watch television to think. It's not set up that way. If you didn't buy from the advertisers and let them know that you buy the products because they advertise during your show, you can't complain. If you didn't watch it and let the networks know how much you love it, you can't complain. Fight capitalism with capitalism, or there is no fight. It's fine to blame Nickelodeon, the SCI FI Channel, and Fox for being too dumb to understand/support/promote the shows they actually pay money to air, but the fight is over and we lost. Buy the DVDs and move on with your lives.
9. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a low point in TV history.
Why is it so cool to be detached about everything? Are emotions now passe? This show catered to the point of pandering, with its faux-intellectualism and its "ironic" comments on itself. How does a show admitting that it's crap make it a quality show? By making you feel like you were too good to watch a "real" vampire show? Maybe I missed the point of it (and if I did I honestly don't care), but life's too short to devote time to something that pats me on the back for being "cool" enough to get it. Angel is only marginally better, but they had an episode with possessed puppets, so there's any chance at building an interesting story gone... And don't get me started on that Firefly bullshit.
10. Oh, yes there would have been a Toy Story if Tron had never been made.
I get this line a lot when I make no secret of my contempt for Tron. Actually, "contempt" is too strong a word, because I don't really devote much mental space to Tron. But for some reason, people at the comic shop or in some of my classes bring up Tron (do they just show it on cable a lot?) and when I'm asked for my opinion, I simply say, "I don't think it's very good." And then someone says, "Without Tron, there would be no Toy Story!" And this makes Tron a good movie? Look, people have made too much out of this myth that Tron is a computer animated marvel; most of the special effects, except for a few really big sequences (i.e. vehicles), are done with animation, saturating the film negative, and reflective tape. And it's not even that good at hiding it, either. If you want to be technical, the first computer effects ever seen in a movie were in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, during the scene showing the simulation of the Genesis Device. It was done by Industrial Light & Magic, which was owned by Lucasfilm. George Lucas also started Pixar, but after they animated the stained glass knight in Young Sherlock Holmes, he saw little use for the company and sold it to Steve Jobs. And the rest is animation history. So don't give me Tron, here, alright?
11. No comic book adaptation is ever going to be exact, so you might as well stop clicking your heels and bitching about The Hulk right now.
Content reinforces form, and form reinforces content. A movie is not a comic book; it costs more, and is aimed at a wider audience, and therefore needs to have a broader appeal than the fanbase. Stop pointlessly worrying that a movie doesn't capture the comic exactly; the only question that matters is whether or not a movie is good on its own. A good adaptation is not necessarily a good movie, nor is a bad one necessarily a bad movie. Of course, that said, I'm really nervous about this upcoming Fantastic Four movie--it looks awful.
12. Hey, you spent 16 years whining that George Lucas just had to make Star Wars prequels, so stop complaining now that you have them.
How is it possible that going to see a movie made in 1999 is going to be exactly like seeing a movie made in 1977 or 1980? Keep in mind that you were 20 years older when you saw the prequels, alright? A lot of people moan that The Phantom Menace is made for kids. Guess what? They all were! If you're so offended by it, why buy into it? Why stand in line and go to the movie? You can't cry foul when you're standing in line to be willingly cheated, can you?
If you want to talk Star Wars, my next question is are the Ewoks really that bad? I think most people hate them because they are forcible reminders that the Star Wars trilogy is made for kids. You can attach Jar Jar Binks to that, too. Personally, I like Jar Jar; I think he's a relief in a movie that takes itself too seriously. He doesn't have to be in every scene, sure, but he's basically a huge rip-off of Goofy. And I like Goofy. As for the Ewoks, they're harmless. Return of the Jedi may have been the film that most obviously went for easy laughs and pandered to children, but that's only one aspect of it. Jesus, it's a kid's movie – grow up and at least pretend you're sophisticated.
13. I'm glad that Sandman is over.
I really am. I didn't even read it until it had been over for years, because all of the Sandman fans I knew in high school annoyed the crap out of me with their Goth makeup and their poseur brooding (I know that not every Neil Gaiman fan is like that, but they represent the most vocal one and therefore are most identified with him). But, having read the comic book, I would easily put it on a list of top comics of all time. It's an amazing journey from beginning to end, and definitely a shining example of how to do a comic book well. But I can't agree with people who clamor for more and wish it had gone on forever and ever. Isn't it nice that we have a comic book that ended before it got embarrassing and stupid? I wish I could say the same about Uncanny X-Men! It's a finite story, it ended, and now we always have this unassailable classic. Asking for more is just needlessly greedy.
And speaking of more, I'm glad that Xena: Warrior Princess is over, too. See above point. Seriously, the last two seasons were crap except for a few episodes here and there. No momentum, no characters, and the sudden bashing of its fans. It was dying a slow heat death and needed to be put out of its misery – they weren't even trying anymore.
14. Would you at least read a Harry Potter book before you bash the whole thing?
It's not just for kids; there's a lot of work and referencing that goes into this stuff. It's not a case of saying, "They're good for children's novels." They're just great books, period. This is the best contemporary fantasy literature has to offer. It's nice as a genre fan to look at Harry Potter and beam with pride, instead of looking at Robert Jordan and wincing in embarrassment. These are usually the same types of people who devote endless thought to the minutiae of Star Wars and change their names to Optimus Prime. If you aren't going to read it, I don't want to hear your "opinion" of the books.
Whoa. Is it nasty in here, or is it just me? Oh. It IS me.

Pretty much everything is top notch. The cozy and comfortable rooms, the location close enough to the beach and last but the not the least the hosts who make it such an enjoyable experience especially with hot breakfast every morning.!
Location-Location,,,,,B&B Breakfast,,,,,Staff,,,,,
Melissa and the rest of the staff are absolutely wonderful. They make you feel right at home at the inn. The room was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious!
Rooms were good size
Gym was being worked on, very tiny, limited equipment
The Serta mattress was amazing - I think we might buy one!
Perfect location.
The bed. I didn't sleep well, since the bed was very firm. But, that's a matter of opinion. My fiancé loved the bed, (he's a firm mattress person).
The motel was very clean, and the location was convenient for us. It's also walking distance to an uncrowded beach. The owner is very nice and helpful, and makes good coffee.
No, everything was fine!
Excellent location- within walking distance from town center/activities; close to an event we were attending. Manager was very accommodating and recommended dinner options due to our late arrival;
No microwave; bathroom was older and a bit decrepit but had been somewhat upgraded and functional; in this day of flat screen/plasma/HD TV it was unusual to find a cathode ray TV in the room.
Immaculate. Very cape cod feel. Would recommend. Fabulous location.

Dedicated Camera for Copying
What is a good digital camera for doing close focus (not real macro) photos? I used to use a Sony Mavica that was outstanding at doing close focus photographs and also unintentionally created an image file file that was optimized for a laser B&W printer. These laser prints were gorgeous. The Mavica has gone the way of all Mavicas and has been tossed because of floppy drive failure. This is to be used in a home brew document copier and does not need to be one of the new high megapixle units. Color reproduction is not a major concern. It needs to be able to save a file as a TIFF for OCR conversion and have filter threads on the lens for mounting on the copier. The camera would also be much easier to use with a remote cable. Direct USB connection to a computer would be very useful. I use a Minolta A2 whose macro capabilities are dismal. (Have I been spoiled by the Mavica?) Any recommendations and suggestions?
D50 or S2?
Help me choose a digital camera: Nikon D50 or Canon S2? I can't decide whether it's worth it to go DSLR. [more inside]

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Bartolo Colon is working harder this year - and it shows.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - After managing just two runs in two starts against R.A. Dickey and his fluttering knuckleball the past three weeks, the San Francisco Giants are glad they won't have to face that dancing pitch again anytime soon.
BOSTON (AP) - Patrice Bergeron scored 15:19 into the second overtime to lead the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins and a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night.
NEW YORK (AP) - One by one, for three weeks already, players accompanied by their lawyers have been summoned to interviews as part of baseball's latest investigation into performance-enhancing drugs - and the process is a long way from finished.

SANTA CLARA (AP) - Eric Mangini is back in the NFL - and back to his coaching roots.
His nickname belied his calling. David "Deacon" Jones was the most feared member of the Fearsome Foursome, the original sackmaster.
MIAMI (AP) - Other than being widely known by just the first syllable of their surnames, the coaches who will match wits in these NBA Finals may seem like polar opposites.

PHOENIX (AP) - Rob Gronkowski's ankle is fine. So are his forearm and knee. He's way past those injuries that ruined his last three postseasons.
EL SEGUNDO (AP) - Kobe Bryant will have surgery Wednesday on his torn right rotator cuff, likely ending his 19th season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

After 60,000 miles, the front outer half-shaft boots tend to tear and leak grease. In most cases, only the boot will have to be replaced; however, if it is not repaired soon enough, the half-shaft may need to be replaced. The front outer boots are put under heavy stress because of their involvement with the suspension when making turns.Google+
Car Problem Reports
BMW 330xi Front Outer CV Boots May Tear and Leak at 60,000 Miles

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Austin's Explosions in the Sky may not be the originators of the sound, but they've done their best in the past few years to hone it into a near-art form. Their shows are legendary -- and loud -- and their albums, 2001's Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever and 2003's The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place, both showcase the band's talents well, and their debut, How Strange, Innocence -- which was reissued last year -- was rumored to have fetched $300 on eBay. Most post-rock acts fly under the radar throughout their careers, yet Explosions in the Sky scored the big-budget Hollywood film Friday Night Lights and last year played sold-out shows in Europe, New York City and Los Angeles. Now they're recording new music for their next album (probably due in early 2007), but Houston music fans have one last chance to catch them before they hole up for the year.
The Octopus Project's recent One Ten Hundred Thousand Million CD (Peek-a-Boo Industries) is rife with atmospheric, electronic instrumental tracks that bring to mind a less adventurous younger sibling to mid-period Tortoise. Okay, "Six Feet Up" is pretty rockin' techno-flavored surf 'n' spy metal on a Foetus tip, but otherwise, whatever. Might be fun live, though.

Selecting I/O Units
In this article, I introduce the I/O unit, the hardware that allows Linux to interact with the physical world. I/O units have different characteristics that make them appropriate for virtually any monitoring or automation task, and initially, it may seem difficult to choose the right one. I introduce terms for those just starting out in this field and describe features that will help you select the right device for the application. Finally, I outline steps to follow for implementing the I/O system, whether small or large.
I/O is a commonly used term referring to data input and output devices. Disk drives, video displays, keyboards and mice are typical computer devices associated with I/O. In the automation industry, the term I/O refers to a device that permits a computer to monitor and control physical elements in the physical world. To allow Linux-based or other systems to reach into the physical world, I/O units are coupled with sensors and actuators. Sensors are electronic devices attached to inputs; they convert quantities in the physical space into quantities computers understand. Actuators, attached to outputs, are devices that translate computer commands into responses in the physical world.
As with any technical field, there is a vast ocean of terminology used with I/O units. I present some of that terminology now and refer back to it when I later discuss the design features that drive selection decisions. Look out! Here comes the tide.
When I mention the word signals, I'm referring to an I/O unit's capability to receive and send analog and digital electrical signals, not the signal programming sort of concept. Understanding the nature of signals and the differences in signal types permits proper selection and design for I/O units. These signals fall into two primary categories, analog and digital, with a smaller category for a rapidly developing group of ``smart sensors'' that report encoded digital data.
Digital or discrete signals are used by a two-state device, which is a device that has only two possible states: on or off. For example, switch sensors may provide a signal that tells us a tank level is full or the power is on. Another example of digital sensors are the so-called idiot lights on the dashboard of an automobile.
These signals are driven by an excitation source, either a power supply or a battery. Discrete loop is another name for the discrete circuit. While discrete loops are typically powered with 12 to 48 volts direct current (VDC), many applications use a convenient excitation source. In the United States, this may be 120 volts alternating current (VAC) or another voltage comparable to the regional supply ratings. In other words, don't grab any wiring until the power to the control box is turned off!
Other sensors and effectors are analog or proportional in nature, meaning that they have not just two states but a range of possible values. Examples of analog values are temperature gauges, analog clocks, speed, sound volume and pressure. These proportional quantities are converted to analog signals. The value of the signal, whether current or voltage, reflects the reading at the sensor. While the signal may be proportional to a physical value, it may not be linear--that is, if the signal doubled in value, the physical value would not necessarily double as well. There are many types of nonlinear analog sensors; thermocouples, devices that measure temperature via a voltage produced by dissimilar metals, are a popular example.
Other sensor technologies require substantial processing and generally have their own computers. While these units may send data in a proportional analog format, they also have the ability to send the sensor reading as digital data, using a digital interface in which the data is encoded and transmitted. RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 are common interfaces used. Examples of digital data sensors include intelligent accelerometer monitors, laser extensometers, flow meters and stepper or synchronous motor controllers. With USB and ``biscuit'' Ethernet devices, these sensors can be directly connected to Ethernet networks and other high-bandwidth communication media.

Hoodia Chaser
Ways to firm up a bowel movement - Liquid Hoodia Extract Chaser
Natural Liquid Hoodia Extract Chaser Ways to firm up a bowel movement -
On November 21, 2004 CBS correspondent, Lesley Stahl reported on 60 Minutes
that a strange little plant, Hoodia Gordonii,"... is a natural substance
that literally takes your appetite away." According to CBS, "Scientists
say that it fools the brain by making you think you're full, even if
you've eaten just a morsel." Now, word of this amazing plant is
spreading like wildfire across the country and taking the consumer market
by storm. Many are calling the discovery of Hoodia Gordonii the breakthrough
of the decade.
If you're still taking Hoodia in pill form you're losing up to 90% of the benefit you could be getting by taking the liquid Hoodia Chaser Extract. Just a few drops of the Hoodia Chaser liquid extract will provide a more potent and effective result than any Hoodia diet pill on the market. Hoodia Chaser is quickly absorbed into your body and starts working immediately.
If only you weren't so darned hungry all the time...
It's true that you eat for a lot of different reasons, but feeling hungry can drive you to distraction. You know you should stick to your diet (what ever the current one is), and you know when you're eating more than you need. But, what can you do about always feeling hungry? It's just not fair.
Hoodia Chaser might just be the answer you're looking for. Combined with a sensible food program, exercise routine, and drinking plenty of water, the ingredients in Hoodia Chaser will help you to regain your slim body easier and faster.
If you weren't hungry all the time, you wouldn't be tempted to snack between meals. You could easily say "No," to second helpings. You would find it easy to push away from the table feeling satisfied.
A great deal of research is being conducted into the effects of satiety (the feeling of being full) on overeating. Hormones circulating through the body convey messages to the brain to indicate hunger of "fullness."
What is Hoodia Gordonii
If you missed the 60 Minutes program, the program described Hoodia as a small, succulent plant that grows only in the remote region of the South African Kalahari Desert. There, the indigenous San Bushmen have eaten the plan for centuries, to stave off hunger during their long and arduous hunting trips.
This small plant looks like a dill pickle with spines on it. It grows slowly in its harsh environment, and takes four or five years, or more, before it is ready to harvest.
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa, joined forces with the South African San Council. They agreed to work together on the usage of indigenous plants for the benefit of both parties. They also committed themselves to the conservation of natural resources.
Because of tremendous worldwide demand for the Hoodia plant, it has become endangered by over-harvesting. Now, certification is required to prove that the product is authentic Hoodia Gordonii.
Real Hoodia Gordonii only grows in the semi-arid desert of South Africa – not in China, or Mexico, or the United States. With Hoodia Chaser you can be assured of getting the real, organic Hoodia ingredient. That's because our Hoodia is approved by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa, and is certified to be 100% authentic.
Hoodia Chaser contains certified Hoodia Gordonii Extract
We only use 100% pure South African Hoodia Extract from the Kalahari Desert in Hoodia Chaser and are proud to display the certificates to prove it. Our Hoodia ingredients are licensed by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa and certified to be 100% Authentic. There are two certified documents required to prove the authenticity of pure South African Hoodia. They are the C.I.T.E.S Certificate and the Analytical Report. 100% natural, 100% stimulant-free, 100% ephedrine-free and 100% caffeine-free, Pure Hoodia Gordonii liquids can also produce a natural feel-good aphrodisiac effect. Plus, the wonder-plant from which they're made is said to give the San tribesmen abundant energy to hunt by day and superhuman-like strength to make love all night long!

DEFINITION of 'Short Selling'
The sale of a security that is not owned by the seller, or that the seller has borrowed. Short selling is motivated by the belief that a security's price will decline, enabling it to be bought back at a lower price to make a profit. Short selling may be prompted by speculation, or by the desire to hedge the downside risk of a long position in the same security or a related one. Since the risk of loss on a short sale is theoretically infinite, short selling should only be used by experienced traders who are familiar with its risks.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Short Selling'
Consider the following short-selling example. A trader believes that stock SS which is trading at $50 will decline in price, and therefore borrows 100 shares and sells them. The trader is now "short" 100 shares of SS since he has sold something that he did not own in the first place. The short sale was only made possible by borrowing the shares, which the owner may demand back at some point.
A week later, SS reports dismal financial results for the quarter, and the stock falls to $45. The trader decides to close the short position, and buys 100 shares of SS at $45 on the open market to replace the borrowed shares. The trader's profit on the short sale – excluding commissions and interest on the margin account – is therefore $500.
Suppose the trader did not close out the short position at $45 but decided to leave it open to capitalize on a further price decline. Now, assume that a rival company swoops in to acquire SS because of its lower valuation, and announces a takeover offer for SS at $65 per share. If the trader decides to close the short position at $65, the loss on the short sale would amount to $15 per share or $1,500, since the shares were bought back at a significantly higher price.
Two metrics used to track how heavily a stock has been sold short are short interest and short interest ratio (SIR). Short interest refers to the total number of shares sold short as a percentage of the company's total shares outstanding, while SIR is the total number of shares sold short divided by the stock's average daily trading volume.
A stock that has unusually high short interest and SIR may be at risk of a "short squeeze," which may lead to an upward price spike. This is a constant risk that the short seller has to face. Apart from this risk of runaway losses, the short seller is also on the hook for dividends that may be paid by the shorted stock. In addition, for heavily shorted stocks there is a risk of a "buy in." This refers to the fact that a brokerage can close out a short position at any time if the stock is exceedingly hard to borrow and the stock's lenders are demanding it back.
While short selling is frequently vilified and short sellers viewed as ruthless operators out to destroy companies, the reality is that short selling provides liquidity to the markets and prevents stocks from being bid up to ridiculously high levels on hype and over-optimism. Although abusive short-selling practices such as bear raids and rumor-mongering to drive a stock lower are illegal, short selling when done properly can be a good tool for portfolio risk management.

City councillors have agreed to loan cricket bosses $140,000 to help pay for a must-have upgrade to Hamilton's Seddon Park.
The loan was agreed to after a closed-door meeting between the council and Northern Districts Cricket Association (NDCA) chief executive Peter Roach.
The council won the right to host three one-day matches at Seddon Park as part of next year's Cricket World Cup on the condition that the park's player and match officials facilities were upgraded.
The upgrade to the off-field facilities will cost $727,400 and start this month.
Council events and economic development general manager Sean Murray said the council's $140,000 loan ensured the park upgrade could go ahead and Northern Districts' $317,000 contribution could be received.
Three years ago the council agreed to help partly fund an upgrade of Seddon Park and settled on a $270,000 contribution, with Northern Districts to fund the balance.
Since then, however, the scope of the upgrade project had increased, meaning Northern Districts had to find additional funds, Murray said.
Murray would not reveal the terms of the loan but said it would be repaid in full, plus interest, and in a "relatively short timeframe".
The council owns Seddon Park, and Northern Districts is the long-term tenant.
Roach said the council loan was "fantastic news" and would ensure that Seddon Park remained a world class cricket venue.
Roach said the standard of cricket facilities around the world had improved dramatically in recent times, driven largely by India.
"India's stadiums have gone from a very low level to a very high level and they're setting the benchmark to what's expected around the world. Seddon Park has to raise to meet the expectations of international teams."
In an earlier letter to the city council, New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said the upgrade to Seddon Park was integral to international cricket coming to Hamilton.
Roach said the Cricket World Cup was one of the biggest events in the world and guaranteed Hamilton huge exposure.
"There will not be an event televised out of Hamilton that will have more eyes of the world watching it than when India play here in the Cricket World Cup.
"What value do you put on that?"
Hamilton Deputy Mayor Gordon Chesterman said the agreed $140,000 loan was a good outcome for the city and ensured the council's asset would be upgraded. He said councils across New Zealand were being asked to pay for improvements to sporting facilities and more thought should be given to asking sports fans to pay for some of the cost.
"At some point in the future professional sports should apply a user pay principle and add a surcharge to their ticket prices. So if your sport is horse racing, don't expect me to spend my boxing money on paying for your sport interest."
The Seddon Park upgrade is timed to be finished in September.
Murray said the council expected a "very good" allocation of international matches for Seddon Park for the 2014-15 season. "We're confident of a very busy summer of international cricket at our facility, possibly outstripping last summer's very successful season."

Caring for Your Feet With Diabetes
In this article
When you have diabetes, taking good care of your feet is very important. Poor foot care can lead to serious problems, including possibly having to remove -- or amputate -- the foot or leg.
As a person with diabetes, you are more vulnerable to foot problems, because the disease can damage your nerves and reduce blood flow to your feet. The American Diabetes Association has estimated that one in five people with diabetes who seek hospital care do so for foot problems. By taking proper care of your feet, most serious problems can be prevented. It's important that your doctor check your feet at least once a year for any problems.
Recommended Related to Diabetes
For most people, a blister, cut, or scrape on the foot is no big deal -- an "ouch!" and a hurriedly applied bandage, and it's over. Not so if you have diabetes; meticulous daily foot care is as important as monitoring blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels. "Unfortunately, diabetes foot-health awareness doesn't have a colored ribbon or national voice," says foot care expert James Wrobel, DPM, of the University of Michigan Medical School. "If you don't manage them early, small problems...
Read the Diabetes: Best Foot Care article > >
Here are some diabetes foot care tips to follow.
Wash and Dry Your Feet Daily
- Use mild soaps.
- Use warm water.
- Pat your skin dry; do not rub. Thoroughly dry your feet, especially between the toes.
- After washing, use lotion on your feet to prevent cracking. Do not put lotion between your toes.
Examine Your Feet Each Day
- Check the tops and bottoms of your feet. Have someone else look at your feet if you cannot see them.
- Check for dry, cracked skin.
- Look for blisters, cuts, scratches, or other sores.
- Check for redness, increased warmth, or tenderness when touching any area of your feet.
- Check for ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses.
- If you get a blister or sore from your shoes, do not "pop" it. Apply a bandage and wear a different pair of shoes.
Take Care of Your Toenails
- Cut toenails after bathing, when they are soft.
- Cut toenails straight across and smooth with an emery board.
- Avoid cutting into the corners of toes.
- You may want a podiatrist (foot doctor) to cut your toenails.
Be Careful When Exercising
Protect Your Feet With Shoes and Socks
Footwear Test
Use this simple test to see if your shoes fit correctly:
- Stand on a piece of paper. (Make sure you are standing and not sitting, because your foot changes shape when you stand.)
- Trace the outline of your foot.
- Trace the outline of your shoe.
- Compare the tracings: Is the shoe too narrow? Is your foot crammed into the shoe? The shoe should be at least 1/2 inch longer than your longest toe and as wide as your foot.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Welcome to Trinity Online
You will get some great information about us here at Trinity online, but you can't really get to know us until you visit, because we're really about relationships. We want you to get to know us in person.
But more important, we want you to know Jesus. That is what we're really all about. We want to grow in our love for Jesus, for each other and the people all around us.
Join us for a journey to the Cross of Calvary during the season of Lent. Each Wednesday from February 25 - March 25 a meal will be served in the lower level of the church at 6 pm, and the meal will be followed by a time of worship with a Meditation from God's Word focusing on one of the hymns about the Cross of Calvary.
Come Worship with us
Worship here centers on the teaching and preaching of God's Word, and focuses our attention on Jesus Christ. Music is a blend of traditional and contemporary music (even a little old time Gospel music). Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month.
Meet our Pastor
Rev. Jon Benson joined the staff at Trinity Free Lutheran full-time on July 1, 2012. Pastor Benson came to Janesville after serving Word of Life Free Lutheran Church in Upsala, MN for the previous 16 years. Pastor Benson is pictured here with his wife, Jeannette.

DescriptionReal-time refers to gameplay that happens without waiting for player input, i.e. in real time. Action games are real-time by default and therefore do not require this tag.
The real-time tag is used for RTS (real-time strategy) games, many managerial simulations which are not turn-based (e.g. Transport Tycoon), as well as puzzle games that require quick thinking, such as Tetris variants.
This tag is also used to describe combat in certain role-playing games (the ATB system of many Final Fantasy games or the Infinity Engine combat in Baldur's Gate and some other Western RPGs). This type of combat requires the player to manage the activities of the combatants in real time, and should not be confused with that of Action RPGs, where combat is action-oriented.
Rare examples of real-time games outside of the aforementioned genres (e.g. The Last Express) also exist.
