The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing postpartum joint pain. My daughter is 7 months now and I am still struggling with chronic joint pain. I would love to speak with anyone who is experiencing similar pain.
Postpartum Joint Pain
A little background - I was dealing with these symptoms for one year before getting pregnant. I saw neurologists, pcp's, and a rheumatologist. I had every test under the sun; 2 MRI's, lab work, 2 EMG's and a very expensive trip to The Cleveland Clinic. All tests were normal except an elevated rheumatoid factor. Yet my rheumatologist didn't think I had RA because I had no swelling, no warmth in my joints and 2 trials of prednisone made the joint pain so much worse. She thought it was all due to stress/anxiety and said she sees that a lot. She wanted me to try anti anxiety meds but I hate pills and declined.
So I tried to forget about it and the joint pain eventually went away. I was however left with the annoying tingling and numbness hence my trip to the clinic in Cleveland. That neuro dr. was stumped too and wanted me to follow up but I was pregnant at the time and didn't want to drive all that way again or pay for another visit. I decided to wait it out.
After a healthy pregnancy, a natural homebirth with no meds or complications, here I am. All my old symptoms which disappeared during pregnancy have suddenly reappeared and I am freaking out again. It sucks not knowing what is going on with your body. I feel like I have no other option now but to wait since all tests in the past seemed normal or don't indicate a true diagnosis. I'm tired of going to dr's and paying money to find out nothing!
This is my third child and I am 36, so maybe hormones, age, stress, severe lack of sleep and depression over feeling this way again are what's making me feel so off again. It is nice to know I'm not alone. I am so scared this could be RA or some other autoimmune disorder. Googling symptoms and thinking the worst does not help! I am taking a high quality multivitamin, vit D, fish oil and probiotics, but haven't noticed a change. I need to drink more water and exercise and cut out sugar, but when I start to stress all I want is something sweet!
I hope you all have found some relief. I wish I had advice to share. Thanks for letting me vent.
Wow, what a thread. So glad to see that I'm not alone. I had my son three weeks ago. The joint pain started about a month before I had him. I didn't think much of it at the time as I was very swollen. Once the swelling went down (about a week post partum) I started to feel better, but it was short lived. The achy joints have returned. I have it badly in my fingers, wrists, ankles and knees. I'm going to bring it up with both my OB and my endocrinologist (I have Hashimoto's disease) and see if they have any suggestions. It appears as though I will probably have to look further though as so many of you have already been through this.
I feel better to know Im not the only one and I see this forum going on since 2009! Still Im really nervous, I cant enjoy this beautiful stage tha t i wanted so much!!! Paulo is only 3 months old and everytime I hold him in my arms i wonder if I have a bad disease like RA how long will I be able to hold him or what im going to do if i no longer can take care of him. Im in mexico and i dont want to go to the doctor because im scared for a bad diagnosis. Im taking homeopaty and glucosamine and calcium since two days ago, also omega pills, i hope it gets better with this... I let you know how it goes... I hope we can hear more about ther girls that had this and went away. I have it in my hands and feet specially in the morning. It goes away right away after i get up wich is a good thing but im beggining to feel pain in one elbow and knees... Or maybe im getting nervous and notice more every little disconfort in my body, im still breastfeeding. I hope it gets better for all of you. Please keep us posted if it does!
So I too was in a panic that I may be suffering from "early" arthritis even though I am "only" 41. My son is 6 months old and I found out last week after seeing my doctor that my discomfort in my pelvic (leg to hip region) joint and knee areas was most likely due to post pregnancy related issues. I was having such a hard time going up the stairs or just doing a simple workout. Coincidentally, I had already stumbled onto Osteo Bi-Plex, which is for joint discomfort, at the supermarket that was on a great sale, and purchased it before knowing anything about it. It was like magic!! I read reviews on Amazon (I encourage you to check them out), and saw how triathletes use it for their aches and pains and found it a great help. Some days are still not a 100% but I can actually attempt a power walk or small workout without feeling like a broken down old bag. This is my third child and I had never expereinced this so I really did think it was age related. My doctor said by his first birthday I should be able to stop taking the Osteo and be back to normal, we'll see. At least it's nice knowing something helps!!!
Hello, I guess I have to join the club. Had my beautiful 2nd girl by emergency CS 24 March 2012. As soon as the pain meds wore off I found I had hand and wrist pains. At about 6 weeks saw a rheumatologist. He did all the tests for RA and they were all negative. Made me feel really stupid - as if I were making it up. Told me he saw no physical signs of inflammation/ swelling. Who on earth would want to make up having pains in hands, wrists, knees, and from time to time elbows, feet.
Anyway, baby is now 6 1/2 months and the pain is still there. it fluctuates from barely there, to needing to take some pain killers. Not fun!
I contacted the condescending Rheumatologist who said it may be time to reevaluate. Have an appointment in a week's time. Wonder if I'm going to feel stupid again.
I don't want to be taking more meds (I already have hypothyroid and diabetes - both well managed, but enough is enough). The thought of arthritis (of any sort) scares me a lot!
Yes, I am exclusively breastfeeding baby. My period as still not returned either. Am hoping that things will settle down once my period returns (ie. hormones are back to normal).
Baby girl is 6 1/2 months now and we're only just starting with solids and will take it very slowly.
Ok. Update. I saw the rheumatologist again yesterday.
He was concerned that I still have joint pains 6 months after alst seeing him. He did u/s of my wrists and hands and nothing showed up. No signs of joint damage or inflammation.
He's retesting the inflammatory factors and autoimmune stuff for RA.
He says he does believe me, but won't do anything but recommend pain killers unless there is clearer sign of inflammation.
So wait and see and observe. I can only hope this goes away later. :)

Kcall and Decibel: Telephony and Messaging for KDE 4
While the KDE Team is busy working on version 4, more and more Linux desktop applications and interfaces keep on appearing. Kcall 0.7 and Decibel 0.5 bring integrated desktop software for Computer Telephony Integration (CTI), VoIP and real-time messaging to KDE.
The Decibel real-time messaging framework, which has now reached version 0.5, combines CTI, VoIP, chat and other instant messaging solutions. As a D-Bus-based API it also complies with the Telepathy specifications and provides interfaces to KDE applications without integrated telephony or chat functions. From the user's point of view, Decibel provides a standardized control center for all accounts, connections and settings in the real-time communications field.
Just a few days later, Kcall 0.7 was released, the first port of an application with Decibel support for KDE 4. Kcall is a telephony client which integrates with Kontact and uses its phonebook giving KDE users the ability to establish connections by clicking on a phone number in the address book. Kcall outputs ring tones or pops up a dialog to signal incoming calls via VoIP, for example. Connection data and accounts are managed by Decibel.

relaxing vacation in Bar Harbor
Review submitted: March 28, 2013 Date of arrival: June 30, 2012
Enjoyed staying at your bungalow in Somesville. The location was perfect! Conveniently close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and private and peaceful when your tired from a long day of sightseeing. Bought lobster from a fisherman who lives just down the road, and brought them back and enjoyed them at the house. The house was clean and the it was very convenient to have a washer and dryer. Booking the rental was very effortless, as the owner is so nice! We highly recommend a trip over to Bass Harbor at the little restaurant there for lunch on their deck at the pier!!! Booked another week this summer - can hardly wait!!

We LOVE Maine and we love your cabin! We had a great week of hiking and site seeing. Being centrally located on the island turned out to be perfect. I never even heard of Southwest Harbor and it is a great little town, just 5 minutes drive from the house and seawall and the lighthouse are all there too!

We would like to preface this review by stating that we have never written a negative review. We are generally optimistic and content to accept what we get and make the best of a situation. However, we were sickened when we arrived at the property, which was not even close to being as advertised. We hope to help others avoid a similar situation. To avoid being perceived as disgruntled whiners, we have taken photos to document the condition of the property. Unfortunately, Vacation Rentals does not allow the use of HTML tags or links in reviews, so we are unable to post our photos. The problems we found with the property were as follows: The lawn was weedy, overgrown, and unkempt. It was on major highway (Route 102). Lots of traffic noise. Front deck and stairs looked and felt unstable. Front door inside bungalow onto deck blocked by plant. Garage had lots of trash stacked in it. Adirondack chairs not as pictured. The photos never showed dilapidated sheds next to them. No bike path across from the bungalow. The sink and under counters was very dirty and cluttered with items just thrown about. Lack of pots and pans for cooking. There was laundry in the washer, with a note stating that it needed to be finished(sorry but not my job. I would not have minded washing my own sheets upon departure but for what we paid I should not have to tend to the previous weeks laundry). The toaster oven was filthy with lots of old bread crumbs. Mouse traps stacked under the counter cabinet (no dead mice though!). Master bedroom: The lamp shade was peeling and yellowed, pictures on wall printed from a computer and taped to the wall. Paint missing in place where pictures have been peeled off. No curtaines on the windows. Second bedroom: walls lacking paint where things peeled off, bare light bulb hanging from ceiling with no fixture. We did not stay at the property and found another very nice property in Ellsworth, for which we wrote a raving review. Our final comment is please see this property prior to renting...do not be fooled by the picutures.

We loved your cozy little cabin and had a great week. There is so much to see and do on your beautiful island that we may come for two weeks next time! One of the very best things about this area is the free local bus that we could get right at the bottom of the driveway! We got the bus schedule and just walked down the hill and waved at the bus. The bungalow is charming and cozy and we had a wonderful getaway from our hectic city lives! Thanks again, Hans and Debra

Great location, charming, rustic bungalow. Pet friendly, close to everything and you can catch the free island wide bus at the bottom of the driveway if you just wave to them as they approach! The weather was chilly at night that week and we were glad to have the hot water baseboard heat! This cozy little house reminds me of my childhood, going to my grandparents place in Vermont.

Our favorite getaway
Review submitted: December 16, 2010 Date of arrival: May 10, 2010
we have been coming to Maine and renting the 1930 bungalow off and on for years. We love the location and the house. As the name implies it was built in 1930 and still has most of it's original details. Yes, the large single bay sink is old but it is sanitary and I wouldn't trade it for a new one. The TV does not get reception, but there is a working VCR and DVD player and a very good selection of videos. We brought our own DVDs. We have very found memories of listening to Red Sox games on the radio - a nice change. The house has original hard wood floors and period furniture. The bathroom is quaint and clean. The bedrooms are charming and cozy, the living room is large for a little bungalow and gets lots of light. We love watching the sunset over the trees across the street. The exterior is rustic and a bit wild but to say it is not rental material seems absurd. We regularly sit in the two chairs pictured having our coffee or reading. Couldn't be more lovely or relaxing.
We love the real Maine feel of the whole house, inside and out. If you like frills or 'country' decor, maybe it isnt the house for you. The folks who did not enjoy the house mentioned the mismatched dishes and bedding. I think it's fair to say the owner is a bit eccentric . She also owns and operates the Cafe Bluefish in downtown Bar Harbor. Go! The Lobster Streudel that was featured on the Food Network is not to be missed. The Bluefish also has mismatched dishes and mismatched linens! We love the house (and the restaurant) and come nearly every year.
If you like cozy charm, this is the place for you.

Not a Rental
Review submitted: September 21, 2010 Date of arrival: September 4, 2010
While the cottage was in a great location and was indeed clean...it was not rental material. The kitchen cupboards had
nothing that matched. The sink was in terrible shape. The bikes had flat tires. The TV didn't get reception. The VCR didn't work. The linens didn't match and there was not mattress pad. I don't consider a bed frame made of 2x4's a real bed. The exterior of the place was very unkempt with weeds all around the entrance and the deck needed to be demolished. The flower box was empty. What was really strange to us was that the owner never stopped in or called to see if everything was all right. This cottage was more of a family cottage that was never used....not a suitable rental. We have rented in this website 3 times and have been more than satisfied with the homes.

South Georgia law enforcers are getting realistic training on how to deal with a school shooting.
It's something they hope they never have to put into practice, but after the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, they know they have to be prepared.
The Fitzgerald Police Department and other agencies plan to be prepared to act quickly if a shooter comes into a school. They've been training for two days to make sure they are ready for action.
In case of an active shooter in a school or a hostage situation, officers need to think and react quickly.
"You'll have bodies on top of bodies, because time is of the essence here. When we get the call, it's already happening. The longer we wait to stop this threat, the more casualties you'll have," Sheriff McLemore said.
The Fitzgerald Police Department, Ben Hill Sheriff's Office and the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office are getting hands-on training involving rifles, handguns and shotguns.
Law enforcers say these exercises are hard to prepare for, but now is a good time to train.
"After Newtown, we decided it's time to do it. Let's go through the obstacles and let's make it happen and we did", Sheriff McLemore said.
Officers say these training exercises are all about adapting to any situation.
The drill will also train officers to work as a team and to understand that a situation can change in a split second.
"You don't have seconds to adapt. That's why we train. We train like we fight and we fight like we train. And I honestly believe that. And they have to revert back to their training and hopefully this is what will keep them alive," Major James Reynolds said.
Sheriff McLemore says their number one goal is to stop the threat and clear the scene so emergency responders can come in safely and treat anyone that is hurt.
The Fitzgerald Police Department plans to hold more exercises like the school shooting scenario on a regular basis.
Fitzgerald High School, where the training took place, was closed for spring break during the shooting exercises.
No students or teachers were in the building at the time of the school shooting scenarios.

First time HAL cruisers. This was our second New Years Eve Holiday cruise in a row. Last year we sailed on the Grand Princess. My wife and I are 50 and we booked 4 cabins. We traveled with our four daughters (ages 15 - 21) and my parents. There were just over 2,000 guests on this cruise. HAL was definitely a cut above Princess.
Previous reviews: I had read the reviews for the past several months of Eurodam sailings. Several negative reviews made me worried that the ship would be crowded, the service in the dining room poor, the food pedestrian and the front desk staff cold and stern. All such reviews were wrong. Our cruise was fantastic. None of the Negative Nancy's was accurate. The boat never felt crowded, the food was excellent and ¬all staff were as friendly and accommodating as can be.
Embarkation: arrived at 1:30 pm. No wait. Efficient loading of luggage and friendly HAL porters. The staff who hustle you through the security (remind me of hospital volunteers) are a bit crotchety. Entire process from arrival through room key to stepping on ship was 20 minutes. Our luggage made it to the rooms before 4 pm.
Rooms: Our staterooms were ready within 15 minutes of boarding. We went to the Lido and had a pleasant lunch. The size of our veranda stateroom (balcony room) was reasonable and seemed to be about the same size as Princess' mini-suite we booked last year. There was more than enough closet space. The previous review telling us about the drawers under the bed was helpful b/c we never would have found them. They are under the dust ruffle. Ask the steward to empty the mini bar or do it yourself and you have a fridge. The bathroom was clean and the shower/bath combo worked well and had plenty of pressure and hot water. The sink is very small. The soaps and beauty products were complimentary and were of high quality (the signature line from the spa). The inside staterooms of our children also had plenty of storage but didn't have a tub - only a s shower. The balcony was nice with two chairs and a table. The stewards were great. Always timely and never intrusive. The room was clean and we always had ice in the bucket and clean wine glasses. Safe worked well. Room for the suitcases under the bed. The towel animals were a bit creepy (one was hung from the wall like a voodoo doll. Nice cloth robes provided. Two plugs on counter/desk and one in bathroom. Plenty of lighting. Closets are in hall along with cabin door and bathroom door. Congested area. Full length mirror in closet. Lighting is bad in that area. There is a lighted magnifying mirror on desk. Insufficient amount of lighting at mirror over desk for makeup.
Lido: The lido dining for breakfast and lunch was very good. Breakfast has a great omelet line (the cook remembered my particulars egg whites, well done, cheese after the omelet was turned—by the second day of the cruise. Several stations for made to order eggs or for pre-cooked items. Lots of fruit, lots of salads, delicious pastries, and fresh squeezed OJ and Grapefruit juice. Coffee in the lido was as good as one could expect for mass-brewed coffee. It was freshly brewed and was very drinkable. The aisle-ways were tight by virtue of an added row of tables. Lunch had a nice variety including, pasta, taco and thai bars.
Rembrandt: We had open seating. We made reservations for 6 p.m. the first night (have to make them for 5:30 but we were told we can come at 6 p.m.). We enjoyed our Dining Steward, the Asst. Steward and our Wine Steward so much, we asked and the Manager on duty to make us a standing reservation for that table each night, which he promptly did. The service by our Stewards and the Managers could not have been better. The food was also fairly good, always hot and exceeded our expectations. The variety was good, quality high, desserts tasty and there were always options for some vegetarians in our group. Previous reviews had dampened our expectations. The atmosphere was unrushed and we never had to wait for anything. We always looked forward to dinner.
Canaletta: Made reservation for the specialty Italian restaurant. No extra charge. Food was ok. Service was great. No complaints but wouldn't do it again. This restaurant is a cordoned off part of the lido in the evening.
Pools: There are two pools on the ship. One has a movable glass roof and gets pretty warm. The rear pool has a large deck and plenty of chaises. Even though the cruise was full and lots of sun - had no trouble finding chaise lounges. The bucket of beer is a good value poolside.
Drinks: The drinks are made with a jigger glass so it is difficult to get a stiff drink. There is an extensive wine list and the prices are reasonable. We also brought several bottles on board as well as vodka and rum. Also, we bought liquor in port and never had a problem bringing it back on board. I don't think they actually care if you bring liquor on board at a port. There are plenty of bars on the ship.
Fitness: The fitness center is huge. There are about a dozen treadmills and as many ellipticals and recumbent bikes also. There is a complete cybex circuit and free weights. Yoga and other classes fill up so book them the first day. You can usually squeeze in though at the last minute. $11.00 charge for each class.
Entertainment: The shows were fun and the singers and dancers were very talented. Well worth attending. The cruise director Shane Michaels was the best. Very personable and always had something going on.
Casino: The casino staff was primarily Eastern European whereas the room stewards and dining stewards were primarily Indonesian. The staff was personable and professional. The blackjack tables got very crowded. Blackjack was played with shoes of 8 decks of cards. No continuous shuffle here. There were three $5 tables but they were usually full. If you want to play $5 table or want to play along with someone in your group, you will have to go at an off hour. The $25 table usually had an opening. The slots, as expected, take your money and don't pay well at all.
Ports: Aruba was not a very nice port. The docking area was pretty gross. Many shops were closed up. Curacao was very nice. It is disappointing that the only thing the ship will tell you about the ports is where the authorized shopping stores are (obviously a fee is paid for that plug) and what shore excursions are available from HAL. No other info is available about the port. There should be maps or other ways to learn about the island provided on board. Do you own research and read blogs before you board the ship. Half-moon Cay - HAL's private island. Ok beach. There are no umbrellas and the ship says the chaise cabanas (the shade covers for the chaises) are sold out. For $15 they can still be found on the beach. Snorkeling is poor from shore. There is concrete poured in places under the sand. It is buried. I cut my foot on the concrete. The buffet barbecue was not too good but we didn't expect any more either. . Bring your walking shoes - long walk from dock to beach. There is a shuttle at the dock. We enjoyed it though.
Internet: $0.75 per minute. $3.95 one time activation fee. Wireless throughout ship. Still that is expensive. There was supposedly phone service at international roaming rates but I couldn't get a Verizon blackberry to work with it.
Families: We had heard HAL was for more senior cruisers. There were more seniors than on Princes but there were plenty of all ages on board. Also lots of teenagers were on the boat. Many multi-generation groups. Not too many little kids on board. Nice mix. New Years Eve parties were in almost every venue on the ship. Nice way to find "your crowd."
The boat rocked and vibrated. Nothing unexpected. Our cabins were close to the front.
Disembarkation: Simple and quick. It seemed as though anyone could get off when they wanted. All luggage was available in the terminal, regardless of your departure time. We did Signature Express Baggage service. The bags are taken directly from the ship to the airport and checked through all by HAL. $15 per person. We were given our baggage tags and flight boarding passes the night before departure and didn't have to deal with carrying heavy bags in Fort Lauderdale Airport. DO THIS ON YOUR NEXT CRUISE. Also, transport to the airport was by boarding the free bus to the airport car rental center; then hopping off and boarding the equally free bus to the terminal. All told this took 15 minutes from ship terminal to airport terminal and it was free.No cheating here Broward County provides these free buses.
Overall we were very pleased with the quality of the ship, the food, the staff and activities. We enjoyed the Eurodam and its crew thoroughly.

CHARLES OSGOOD: From sky-high air-conditioning bills to gasoline-fueled vacations in the car, there's nothing like summer to remind us that we Americans are power hungry. The search for alternative green sources of energy is going full speed ahead as Seth Doane will be reporting in our cover story.
CHARLES OSGOOD: How can we feed our power-hungry nation far into the future? Seth Doane explores some possible answers in our Sunday Morning cover story.
SETH DOANE: Imagine a future in which abundant energy could be ours, simply by harnessing the wind, or capturing sunlight, or tapping into the heat of the Earth itself. In the wake of the Gulf oil disaster, calls for cleaner, greener energy, are growing louder.
BARACK OBAMA: Now is the moment for this generation to embark on a national mission to unleash America's innovation and seize control of our own destiny.
DOANE: But if that rallying cry sounds strangely familiar that's because it is.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Move beyond a petroleum-based economy and make our-
BILL CLINTON: To encourage innovation, renewable energy, fuel-efficient cars, energy-
RICHARD NIXON: We will break the back of the energy crisis. We will lay the foundation-
DOANE: For all the talk about the energy of tomorrow, America is still powered by the energy of yesterday. 95% of our electricity comes from an aging network of coal, natural gas, nuclear, and hydroelectric plants. Despite decades of promise, today less than 5% of our electricity comes from all other forms of alternative energy combined.
DR. STEVEN CHU: As a scientist, I've asked myself what is the most challenging problem that science and technology has got to solve in the coming decades? It's going to be sustainable energy. If we can't solve that, we've got a real problem.
DOANE: Perhaps no one understands the problem better than Dr. Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and the U.S. Secretary of Energy.
CHU: To quench our thirst for oil, we're going to more and more challenging environments. It's going to drive the price up. It's going to have higher risks, environmental risks.
DOANE: Secretary Chu sees the oil spill as a tragedy, of course, but also as something else.
CHU: I think it's an opportunity to say, look, let's look long term: where do you want to go? Where do you want to be?
DOANE: You think this oil spill is an opportunity?
CHU: The United States has an opportunity to lead in what I consider to be essentially a new industrial revolution.
DOANE: Innovators and entrepreneurs are already pushing the envelope to come up with the energy of the future. Things like torpedo-shaped machines which collect energy from wave motion; turbines like these placed on the bottom of New York's East River, driven by the current.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I'm here in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where we're creating the future of energy.
DOANE: And algae farms, which convert the fast-growing plant into diesel and jet fuel.
CHU: It is absolutely an engine for growth, for job creation, for all these things.
DOANE: And the U.S. isn't too far behind already – behind China, behind India?
CHU: We can catch up. But another five years of stalling, I'm a little bit afraid.
DOANE: Increasingly, China is taking the lead – planning to spend $450 billion to develop alternative energy. But it was once the U.S. that was the pioneer.
MIKE ROGERS: We've been operating up here since 1960, so the guys are just coming up on 50 years of continuous geothermal power production.
DOANE: California's Sonoma Valley is world famous for its vineyards, but beneath these hills, it's hardly tranquil. There's a huge, natural reservoir of steam trapped deep below the surface.
ROGERS: We're using the heat of – the heat of the earth. That's what the word geothermal means is heat of the earth.
DOANE: Mike Rogers is with the Calpine Corporation, which runs The Geysers – the largest complex of geothermal plants in the world. In the hills north of San Francisco, wells two miles deep are drilled through bedrock, and 90 miles of pipes weave in and out of the mountains, carrying the natural steam to power the turbines.
ROGERS: In terms of size, The Geysers provides enough power for about a city of the size of San Francisco.
DOANE: And it's clean energy. Calpine claims their plants emit just one twentieth of the pollution of a coal-fired plant. While geothermal plants are best suited to unique regions where the earth's crust is thin, there's another resource in this country that's far more accessible – wind.
PATRICK WOODSON: When we first started looking at this site, I mean, it was just basically cotton fields as far as the eye could see.
DOANE: In the tiny West Texas town of Roscoe – where oil rigs once dotted the landscape – there's a new energy boom.
WOODSON: This is the biggest wind farm in the world. It encompasses more than 85,000 acres. And – and geographically it's bigger than the actual city of Manhattan.
DOANE: Patrick Woodson's in charge of development for EON Energy. There are 627 turbines in their wind farm, each can power between 300 and 650 homes. From a distance, it's hard to appreciate just how enormous these turbines are. This one is 40 stories high and the blades from tip-to-tip are nearly the length of a football field. The United States is the world leader in wind energy, and while it's still relatively expensive to produce, with new technology, costs are coming down.
WOODSON: We're just tapping into the – the very beginnings of the potential with wind. I mean, you know, Texas gets about 7% of its energy from wind power. Nationally, we're – we're less than 3%.
DOANE: For wind being one of the biggest sources of renewable energy today, it – it's still only producing 3% of our energy. That's not much.
WOODSON: Well, it's not. We need a national policy to really give us some direction on where we're going to go.
DOANE: But agreeing on a national energy policy won't be easy. Not everyone likes the idea of giant windmills or solar arrays dominating the horizon. Geothermal plants can cause minor earthquakes. And the coal and petroleum lobbies spend millions to protect the status quo.
FRED KRUPP: You know, we've passed three energy bills in the last ten years and none of them has done a damn thing to get us a brighter energy future.
DOANE: Fred Krupp heads the Environmental Defense Fund. He hopes that this fall, the Senate will consider a landmark climate and energy bill, which could finally give alternative energy a fighting chance by setting tough pollution limits on power plants.
KRUPP: That simple requirement, that pollution would come down dramatically over the years, would be the biggest boost for renewable energy because it creates a level playing field that says however you produce electricity, we're going to require you to produce it without dumping the smut into the sky.
DOANE: That level playing field is price. Forcing coal producers to clean up their plants will drive up costs which, in turn, will bring alternative energy prices more in line. The bill is a priority for President Obama, who's visited a solar station in Florida.
BARACK OBAMA: These are jobs in the industries of the future.
DOANE: A hi-tech battery facility in Michigan, and recently taken a spin in a new car, one that has a lot riding on it. General Motors hopes that what's under the hood of this car is the future. This is the Chevrolet Volt, the first mass-market electric car ever produced in the United States.
ANDREW FARAH: These are packs for the Volt.
DOANE: Andrew Farah is the chief engineer of the Volt, which hits showrooms in November. He hopes this electric car will finally take the edge off America's appetite for oil. How many miles to a gallon can I expect to get if I drive a Volt?
FARAH: Well that all depends on how far you drive every day. If you drive under 40 miles a day, you get unlimited, or infinite miles per gallon.
DOANE: That's because GM designed the Volt to get 40 miles on a single charge, based on government statistics that show nearly 80% of Americans drive fewer than 40 miles per day; and when the battery runs out, it automatically switches to gasoline. What do you say to people at home who think, 'my gosh, I've heard of this electric car business before, it never really took off'?
FARAH: What I say is you heard about the electric car that was only able to do a very limited thing. And now with the Volt, you're going to hear about an electric car that can do everything that you're used to.
DOANE: Silent. You don't hear a thing. Whether it's electric cars, wind, or solar energy; while Washington debates, inventors and investors wait for a signal this country is really getting serious about clean, renewable energy.
KRUPP: Surely the world is going to demand clean sources of energy. We don't want to be stuck importing these devices just as we're now stuck importing most of the oil the country uses. That's our choice.

Men's Hoops Hosts Jacksonville
FORT MYERS, Fla., -The FGCU men's basketball team returns to Alico Arena after a three-game road trip as they host Jacksonville on Thursday night. The Eagles come in with a 9-19 record overall and 5-9 record in league play while Jacksonville sits in second place in the A-Sun with a 15-11 overall record and 11-3 in conference action.
The two teams met earlier in the year with Jacksonville won 74-55. That game was the second of a six game win streak. JU is currently on a three game winning streak, all at home with two going to overtime. Ben Smith leads the team in scoring at 15.8 points per game but over 17 points during conference games. Marcus Allen leads the squad in rebounding at 7.8 boards per game.
The Eagles have dropped three straight, all on the road with two going overtime. Senior point guard Rob Quaintance (Glendale, Az.) has moved into 22nd place in the Atlantic Sun for steals in a single season with 71. He also needs just 13 more assists to crack the A-Sun's top 25 as well. Casey Wohlleb has scored 20+ points 10 times this year and became the 2nd Eagle to top 1000 points on FGCU's road trip. The senior from Boca Raton now has 1035 points for his career.
Tomorrow night's game is the second of a double-header with the women's team and both games can be seen live on ASun.TV.

Portland PDC pushing for improvements on Ken Jones airport
St. Margaret's Bay, Portland — Chairman of the Portland Parish Development committee (PDC) Larry Robertson says he is working with both Members of Parliament in Portland to improve the parish's tourism product.
"We are now looking at the possibility of the Ken Jones Aerodrome where we are going to marry that project with Dragon Bay and Blue Hole development," Robertson said.
He argued that if the aerodrome was improved small jets could bring about 150 tourists per trip to the parish.
"I understand that the Airport Authority has some concern about that airfield. It is said that it cannot be improved but that is a big lie," Robertson declared. "We are going to ask an expert from down the Caribbean to give us an assessment on that airfield because the Castries Airfield is smaller than that.
We don't want big aircraft; we don't want any Airbus, A300 aircraft. We just want a DC9 that can hold 150 tourists that can come into the town and let the people them get some money," he stated.
Robertson said he would also be pushing for the reopening of the Dragon Bay hotel.
"The PDC will be working very closely with both MPs to ensure that we have unified development in the parish," he said.

The Northwestern Wildcats are looking to pick up their first bowl victory since 1949. Under head coach Pat Fitzgerald, the Wildcats have now made four consecutive bowl games, but they've lost the previous three in heartbreaking fashion. Senior quarterback Dan Persa will try to end his career picking up the school's first bowl victory in over 60 years. To do so, the Wildcats will need to slow down the high powered Texas A&M offense.
The Texas A&M Aggies on the other hand are just trying to salvage a disappointing season after the firing of head coach Mike Sherman. Senior quarterback Ryan Tannehill will get one last impression on game film for NFL scouts as he gets ready to head for the NFL draft. The Aggies closed out their season losing four of their last five games, while showing a penchant to give up games late. Both teams are looking to finish their seasons above .500.
Game date, time: 12:00 p.m. ET, Saturday, December 31st
Location: Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX
TV channel: ESPN/ESPN3
Odds: Texas A&M favored by 10

12-Team Mixed
Mark Reynolds, 3B/1B, New York Yankees
The Yankees brought Reynolds in to provide some additional pop against left-handers. This makes him well and good in AL-only formats, but in mixed leagues, this makes Reynolds a rather tenuous play. Even if the Yankees decided to play Reynolds exclusively at 1B and benched Lyle Overbay, Reynolds' bad batting average would make him risky. In mixed leagues with daily moves, I'm okay with streaming Reynolds against a weak left-hander. However, not many formats permit this or have roster rules conducive to this type of strategy. I'd leave Reynolds in the free-agent pool in mixed. —Mike Gianella

Truly bad experience. We cruised up to Alaska with holland America and had a horrible experience. The check in was smooth and efficient and the cabin steward was good but there the positive experiences end. The remainder of the crew seemed to have no clue about customer experience - every time you asked for anything, even asking for glasses by a water machine, they sent you somewhere else as if helping you was too much trouble. They all looked surly and miserable and didn't seem to want to be there. Unfortunately that isn't a nice environment to spend your holiday.
The food as terrible too. The only hot thing was the plates which were invariably scorching. The food was always warm at best and tasteless. We found the cafe by the pool was the only place service freshly cooked food but that meant a diet of burgers, chicken, burgers, pizzas and Mexican tacos. Couldn't wait to get off the boat at ports to get some decent food.
One of the worst bits was the cabin. The room itself was fine but the bathroom is in desperate need of renovation. The tiling has been repaired but badly. The smell from the toilet was terrible every time you lifted the lid.
The only really positive was the port stops. Good schedule and they are one of the few boats who can get into glacier bay. I understand only 2 cruise boats are allowed in each day so not sure how they decided which ones but it was a truly stunning day
We cruised back with Norweigian and had an amazing experience so you just need to be careful about which cruise line you pick. We met some people on princess who also were having a great experience.

Routes Sorted

Start in a left facing corner directly to the right of New Yosemite and work your way up to the first horizontal and build a life nest. From there it seems that there are two different options. Head directly up using a sloping two finger pocket and a heel hook and then traverse right to the second horizontal. Or from the first horizontal stay low and traverse over to some small crimps and slowing edges. Make big move to small holds and traverse in right to the second horizontals. The first way is better protected, however the guidebook says go right, which puts you in a pretty bad place if you botch the moves to the second horizontal. Clear as mud?

After the guys left, and I was pouring over my pictures and memories and considering what to write about, I realized while the pictures I took all told the story of the weekend, they represented something larger than just the weekend.
Here's a few lessons I learned:
{Lesson 1} I take too many pictures of myself.
With friends around this weekend, I realized how many pictures I really take of myself. I've joked about it here & there before... and C makes fun of me for it every time he catches me holding the iPhone camera up & making awkward faces... but man it became really evident to me this weekend just how many I actually take.
Not sure if this is a good, bad, or irrelevant realization.... I'll get back to you.
{Lesson 2} Food & Drinks are Made for Weekends.
Because I am trying to lose weight, I'm still following my no-carb/no-alcohol/no-dairy diet during the week. So, naturally, when the weekend comes along, I have some fun with it. And this weekend, with friends staying with us, the fun never ended. We tried more tacos, visited the local boat restaurant for Sangria Saturday & I even ate pizza with tortellini baked on top.
It was delicious... but I'm definitely ready for some fruit, salad, water & gym time :)
|Top left: my grandparents in their 20s, Top right: My first Cubs game with my dad, 1988(ish)
Bottom left: C & I at Junior prom (2005), Bottom right: my brother with Max as a puppy
{Lesson 3} I Love Old Family Photos
I somehow ended up looking through a bunch of my photo albums this weekend... I was laughing and (almost) crying while flipping each page. I'm amazing at how many fun memories are stashed away on the top shelf of my closet. These are just 4 of my favorites I found. ♥
So it was a pretty productive weekend, as you can tell!
{Happy Monday!}

West Allis - The West Allis entry in the nationwide Mayors Challenge to find inspiring ideas and solutions to community problems has ended out of the money.
Only 20 out of more than 300 cities' entries moved on toward the grand prize of $5 million from the Bloomberg Philanthropies. The challenge was organized by Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City. Milwaukee was one of those 20.
"I'm disappointed that we didn't get to the next round," said Dan Devine, West Allis' mayor. "(The local idea) is a concept the community has talked about for at least four years."
The West Allis entry envisioned a building in which organizations that serve all kinds of social needs from helping veterans to aiding victims of domestic violence could be housed.
Those organizations are now spread around the city. By putting them together, it would create a kind of energy that would make the community more healthy.
"They would share the volunteer energy and develop a synergy," said Devine, who developed the plan with the help of the city's planning department.
As envisioned, the energy-efficient building would house not only those groups, but community meeting space along with a résumé library to help people find jobs. Companies could post openings there and people looking for work could apply or post their résumés, Devine said.
An optional idea was to even offer tool rentals for those who maybe don't own a chain saw or whose lawnmower broke, Devine said.
When the competition opened, Devine threw the doors open for community ideas and input. He wanted to see the visions and ideas people have, he said. But only one person responded, he said.
"I would like to have seen more input," he said.
The woman suggested a so-called green roofs project that would encourage growing plants on roofs to increase energy efficiency and reduce rainwater runoff.
The energy efficiency part of her suggestion was taken up in the city's suggestion of a building, although without a "green roof," Devine said.
Without the Bloomberg money, the project is unlikely to happen anytime soon, Devine said.
"It's really a question of resources," he said. "There's not a lot of extra money for new things."
Milwaukee officials are still hoping for Mayors Challenge dollars to follow its vision of transforming foreclosed properties into urban farms, community kitchens and distribution centers.

A day in the life...DJ attempts 24-hour set for Sport Relief
Updated 12:32pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Beren Cross, @BerenCross
A DJ is testing the water ahead of an attempt to break the world record for longest straight set by mixing for 24 hours straight in aid of Sport Relief.
Robert Kane, 34, of Swindon, has been interested in DJing since he was 12, and cut his teeth while at college in Cambridge at clubs including The Junction and the annual Strawberry Fair.
After a short hiatus he set up mobile disco company Digital Days Disco, and wants to use his skills to raise money for Sport Relief On March 21 he will be broadcasting a live set, uninterrupted, for between 24 and 36 hours on internet radio, and hopes the experience will give him a springboard to break the world record next year.
"I saw a DJ programme on Channel 4 with Carl Cox, and that was the first time I had seen proper turntables," he said. "I thought that is what I want to do. I have had a bit of a break after my girlfriend at the time said she didn't like me doing it, but I did bits here and there on the sly with my laptop.
"Then my now wife suggested I get back into it, and I started up a mobile disco company in the area. That started going well and a couple of guys asked if I had ever thought of doing it online radio, like Virtual DJ radio. I thought it was a decent idea, so I put together a demo for Virtual DJ, which is an internet radio station.
"I did a live set for them and they invited me to do it regularly straight away.
"I have been doing that since July last year, and there has been talk going round some of the forums there about doing a 24 hour set.
"I suggested I could do it, and from that joke it turned into a huge reality. It is all being hosted by Virtual DJ, and I have been talking to Sport Relief about the sponsorship.
"They have described it as a marathon of a different sort. I am going to have to be alert for a long period of time."
Having planned his set and backed up his music, Robert is hoping nothing lets him down.
"This will give me an idea of how I can cope under the pressure in terms of the world record.
"For club DJs it is currently set at 152 hours, and that is one hell of a challenge.
"If it works well this year I will have the confidence to go ahead with it next year. "

The Dodge land deal is in limbo and now that purchase has journalists digging deeper into Governor Peter Shumlin's land holdings.
The governor bought Jerry Dodge's 16-acre East Montpelier property and a house for $58,000. Dodge and his family now claim it was a bad deal and the governor took advantage of a man incapable of understanding the complex land deal. The governor has since agreed to sell the land and house back to Dodge, but Dodge needs to come up with the money.
Paul Heintz of Seven Days looked at the governor's other real estate deals.

There's a special place in my heart reserved for fall. I think that's true of most people as well, but even more than just a general fondness for fall, I'm specifically in love with the change......
Paleo, Dairy/Egg/Nut/Refined Sugar Free Grain/Gluten Free, Paleo, PrimalIngredients:
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (I used Libby's organic)
1- 1 1/4 cups chilled coconut cream* (takes about 1 1/2-2 cans)
5 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
3/4 teaspoon gelatin powder (I use Great Lakes grass fed beef gelatin)
1 tablespoon water
*To make whipped coconut cream for the mousse, chill 2 cans of full fat coconut milk in the fridge at least overnight or longer. When ready to use, open the can and scoop out the cream leaving the liquid behind. (I like Thai Kitchen, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods brand for regular whipped cream purposes. I prefer Natures Forrest for my ISI whipper, but it won't work well for thick cream.)
Tip: Due to the nature of coconut milk and it's cream, sometimes you can get a "grainy" batch. This happens when the fat particles separate from the liquid into tiny grainy bits. This kind of cream will not work for this recipe. It needs to be silky and smooth to start with in order to produce a silky smooth mousse. Try another can and transfer this milk/cream to a jar to save for other another use like smoothies or soup. You can also freeze it into ice cube trays.
Vanilla Maple ISI Whipper Cream (Get one Get an isi HERE)
Pour all ingredients into your isi whipper, swirl to mix, charge and shake 15-20 times. Chill for an hour or so unless the cream was already cold. You can test a little to make sure it's coming out nice and thick. If not, chill a little longer. If you've chilled it for a few hours or more, you will need to let it sit out for a few minutes on the counter before dispensing. Coconut cream can get very thick as it chills, but it liquifies pretty quickly. If you have trouble dispensing, turn the canister upside down and give it a good shake or whack to help get the cream down toward the dispenser.
Directions for the mousse:
In a small (1/3 cup size) metal measuring cup, sprinkle the gelatin over the tablespoon of water and allow to bloom for about 5 minutes. Gelatin needs to be sprinkled evenly with no lumps. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla and spices. Using a standing or hand held mixer with whisk attachment, beat mixture till smooth. I use my Kitchenaide with this 3 quart mixing bowl for small batches like this.
Place the metal cup with the gelatin over a burner set to medium heat and gently melt the gelatin mixture till it becomes liquid with no sign of graininess. It must be completely melted and clear or you will get gelatin bits in your mousse. Do not let it boil. Alternatively you can use a small microwave safe container instead and and melt the gelatin in the microwave with a few short bursts.
Add the chilled coconut cream and beat the mixture on high for a few minutes. It should be smooth and creamy at this point, not liquid. Tip: If it is a soupy mess, then your coconut cream was "grainy" as discussed earlier in the instructions. Remember in order for coconut whipped cream to work it has to be completely smooth, almost silky really.
Transfer into cups or ramekins, cover and chill for 2-4 hours.
To serve, top with the "isi whipper" cream or just regular whipped coconut cream and garnish with nutmeg.

CATEGORIES Drama, Foreign Language, Deals, MGM, Family Films, Remakes and Sequels, Religious, Movies, CinematicalEven though we were just treated to a movie about the birth of Jesus, there is another one in the works. This, in spite of the fact that The Nativity Story didn't do very well. MGM apparently thinks it can do better with Myriam, Mother of Christ. Here are some things this one has going for it: a screenplay by Benedict Fitzgerald, who co-wrote The Passion of the Christ; a title that sounds more like The Passion of the Christ; the same release date (Easter) as The Passion of the Christ. Now all it needs is for Mel Gibson to direct and for Jim Caviezel's head to be planted on baby Jesus' body, Little Man style.
Ever since The Passion made tons and tons and tons of money, Hollywood has been interested in the religious film market. Unfortunately, The Nativity Story wasn't the only attempt to attract a Passion-size audience that failed. But obviously the studios are going to keep on trying, because nobody wants to believe The Passion was a one-time occurrence.
I think that a lot of the interest in The Passion was in its controversy and its violence. I don't want to say that the movie made money because it was so bloody; I want to say that it had a great deal of publicity and media attention, partially because it was so bloody, and that it made money because people were curious about it. Sure, that doesn't explain the waves of church groups that rented out theaters for special screenings of the film, but maybe the church groups weren't the biggest contributors to the immense box office gross. If they were, where have they been since? And will they show up come Easter 2008 for the story of Mary?
