Ever since September 11th, a nationalist, anti-immigrant mood has intensified in the United States. While this sentiment seemed at first to be aimed mostly at Arabs, South Asians and Muslims, it is now clear that all but white immigrants are targets. Meanwhile reactionary legislation from Washington, such as the REAL ID Act, affirms and bolsters this sentiment. Luckily some Latino civil rights organizations have a friend in the White House – Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. It is time for these organizations to call in a huge favor.
At my alma mater, the University of Texas, and at least one other university in that state, a group called the Young Conservatives of Texas, called for "capture an illegal immigrant days†earlier this year. The concept was really more of a game than an actual hunt for immigrants, but the message was clear and the attempt to stage such an event in Austin failed when hundreds of protesters confronted the Young Conservatives.
Then there are the so-called "Minutemen,†who have been harassing immigrants in Arizona because they believe the U.S. Government, which is spending millions of tax dollars to patrol the border, is not doing enough to stop illegal immigration. Their analysis doesn't go much further than this and unfortunately the media has done little to expose their real motives. They are treated not as racists but as concerned patriots, even though there is mounting evidence that illegal immigration poses no threat to those of us already here, and may even add considerably to our economy, our productivity and our public dollars.
This anti-immigrant movement is being matched and emboldened in Washington. The post-9/11 war on Arabs and South Asians by the Bush Administration and politicians on Capitol Hill is fusing with good old fashioned anti-Latino immigrant bashing in the form of the REAL ID Act.
The anti-immigrant REAL ID Act would allow a Secretary of Homeland Security to build as many fences or walls along the border as she or he desired – and that doesn't mean the Canadian border. The law would make it harder for asylum-seekers, including women escaping their male batterers, to prove their case. It would make it harder for immigrants to get drivers licenses and insurance – critical for living and working in the United States. Finally, it would give bail bondsmen vast powers to arrest immigrants with few safeguards – just a tiny reform away from deputizing the Minutemen.
This federal legislation is simply the legitimate peak of a pyramid whose base includes all the bigots hunting human beings like animals along an invisible line in Arizona or pretending to chase immigrants on college campuses in Texas. Sadly the 1st Latino Attorney General seems content with this political direction.
Alberto Gonzales, vigorously supported by two major Latino civil rights organizations – the League of Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) – was confirmed with a vote in the Senate that was closer than expected. With all the support LULAC and NCLR gave this upwardly mobile Latino, best known for his laissez-faire attitude on torture, it is clearly time to call in a favor. Both organizations are publicly opposing the Real ID Act, correctly stating in a February press release that the legislation "will have a profound, negative impact on Latinos and other immigrant communities.†They ought to demand Mr. Gonzalez publicly oppose the legislation as well.
Weeks after the joint press release, joined by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund (NALEO), Mr. Gonzales spoke to the Hoover Institution to explain his "vision for the United States Department of Justice.†In this speech he defended the Patriot Act, defended an end to the filibuster for judicial nominees in the Senate, and implied support for the REAL ID Act by arguing that there were too many opportunities for appeals in the immigration system.
It appears Mr. Gonzales would rather do the bidding of his bosses in the White House than raise even a minor objection to a sweeping law strongly opposed by two key organizations that have defended him at every turn. It is unlikely Gonzales will do the right thing and speak out against REAL ID, but LULAC and NCLR have an obligation to do the right thing and not just cozy up to power but, particularly in times like this, to make demands of it.

[YEA] I have been taking cold showers for 3 years. I am 22 now. For 3 years I did not have any illness. I start with feet, legs, then arms and finally all my body. My skin got much beautiful and my hair looks very healthy. It also gives a particular mood to me, and makes me feel very good.
[YEA] Cold showers cured my dry skin and poor circulation. Wow! Just found this site after having tried this the past few weeks. Usually, I alternate between cold and hot -- always finishing my shower with at least 1 minute of ICE COLD water. My skin feels great when I get done. I feel energized, and often aroused after my shower! I'm totally hooked! TRY IT!!
[YEA] I came across cold shower benefits because of this war and the HIGH gas prices. I used electric heat in the winter but continued to use gas for my hot showers. After receiving a gas bill about $100 for some hot bath water I was DONE! It actually wasn't that bad when I started. I would adjust the hot water as if it was there - Mental thing...LOL! My skin was already nice but NOW it is sooo much smoother and soft! I feel so energized after my cold showers. I notice that when I get ready for one my body actually increases in temperature. I feel hot and can't wait to get in there. I do still take them that time of the month - It doesn't bother me at all. I am glad I am not the only one doing this...I was feeling crazy! But I am glad that it really does help with other things. This is really great!
[YEA] OMG, I feel like I've discovered the HOLY GRAIL! I'm taking 5 cold showers a day, sometimes 4. I didn't expect to be in the city again and have temporarily ended up in San Jose, Costa Rica, after having been in the country near Nicaragua for 3 months chillin' in nature. It's an armpit of a city and very noisy and my nervous system goes into overdrive in this kind of environment and I get rashes! Anyway, I know 5 cold showers might seems excessive but it totally calms me down, brings me to life, washes away a lot of the over stimulation feeling (which can drive a person mad with hyperactivity) and keeps the rashes down to ZERO! WOOHOO! Whenever I start to feel messed up, i just hop in the shower and zZIP, I've got a whole new body and outlook!
[YEA] I have been doing cold shower therapy now for about 3 weeks; I shower twice a day. I feel great, look great, and feel a sense of well being all around. I also started using Pure Almond Oil, and my wife says that my skin never felt so soft...like a baby! I'm 51 years old and to have skin feel soft like a baby...well...you know the rest.

[YEA] I began taking cold showers 2 weeks ago. Needless to say, they make me feel incredible, like I can touch the sky. No joke. I usually take them at night but I had a state test today so I decided to take it since I've read on here it boots energy and concentration (I get distracted and tired really easy) and it turned out to be true. They also make me sleep like a baby, where before I had insomnia. As 2 others mentioned, it makes you hair really curly (I have extremely curly hair, even with warm water) but they get less frizzy than they usually do. I would reccommend these to anyone as they do help. Word of advice, I purchased one of those shower heads that have the metal cord thing so you can hand hold it to spray parts of your body. This helps a lot as you have more self control over doing it and dont instinctively move out of the water, you are forcing yourself to do it. Awesome remedy, thanks much!!
[YEA] Cold showers are fun. I take them every morning and I sleep great at night. The cold showers really help my immune system and my autonomic nervous system. It also regulate my brain chemistry. I tried the dip showers, but the cold is lots better for me. I tried taking them twice a day but I decided to take them in the morning.
[YEA] I have been taking cold showers for the past 3 days at night and I can greatly tell the difference. If I lay down to sleep right after I take a shower, I usually fall asleep within 15 minutes, which is a miracle since it usually took me about an hour or more. I didnt even bother trying to take them over the summer as the water wasnt cold enough, but now that fall is coming and temperatures are getting in the 40's the water is freezing. I cant wait until snow comes so the water is even colder. I havent tried them in the morning as I get out of bed and go in the shower and usually dont feel like getting real cold but I will tomorrow to see if it effects my day. The only side effect is when I was in the shower for the first 5 seconds I started panting and almost became dilusional because it was shocking. Nothing bad about them though. I do have to go from medium to cold back to the middle of the both then cold in order to survive it. Would reccomend it to anyone!
[YEA] I take two cold showers a day so that I can take a cold shower in the morning to stay awake all day and a cold one at night to sleep at night. It really helps me to avoid naps and it helps me to stay asleep at night.
[YEA] I like taking cold showers at night. It helps to sleep and I feel confident getting up in the morning. I encourage everybody to take a cold shower at night. It really helps with insomnia.
[YEA] I started taking cold showers on July 23 and felt very confident and able to get thru one day with little sleep, but then I felt used to taking cold showers that I sleep better. My body is softer and my mind is clearer. I spoke with several people about it and they were surprised and couldn't do something like that.
[YEA] Been taking cold showers for a few about two weeks, I'm finding i'm warm all day, when my friends say "ohh there's a bit of a chill in the air" Is there!!! , feeling good my muscles and skin feel toned like I've been to the gym, i sleep like a baby when i get in the bed after a cold shower, i get that massive shock n rush when i have one in the morning. i also feel more alert and am getting more sex drive and stronger erections.. ok, take cold showers, they are great fun....
[YEA] For 23 years I have not been able to sit for more than 2 minutes and when I sleep at night I get terrible muscle leg cramps attack at night from 1 to 10 per month. The 3 lower disc in low back are badly degenerated. I discovered 3 weeks ago if I take a cold shower between 11:00 to 4:00 during the day I eliminated the terrible leg muscle cramps at night. The sitting problem is not resolved; however, the ligaments in the lower back do improve after the cold shower. I have tried ice pack therapy but does not work like ice cold shower therapy to eliminate leg cramps at night.
[YEA] I have been taking cold showers since the last two years(summer and cold winters), the feeling is simply unbelievable. After the shower, you have so much of energy injected into you keeping you fit till the end of the day and at night another shower before you sleep, giving you the best of sleep throughout the night, which i would like to recommend to everybody that this is one the most effective and cheapest investment towards health. There is nothing like being healthy.
Tips From Our Readers 2 0

This is a submission for the cold showers remedy.
My Method and what I Know:
First how I got started. I got involved because my father told me about it (he his interested in some of the Hindu's practices and practices some of them) and that it was beneficial to ones health. He also told me of some other Hindu practices that I now combine into my shower regime.
So, next is what I do. First I turn the tap on warm. But since I am not close to the hot water source, it takes some time for it to reach me. So I usually have a 10-15 second cold shower. I then take a hot shower for the next minute or so. Following that I rinse myself with another 10-20 second shower. At the end I pat myself dry with a towel. Also during the shower I usually yell as loud as I can for stress relief reasons. Plus to give my vocal cords some exercise.
Now I will tell you what I experienced during my time taking cold-hot-cold showers. First, I noticed a peculiar thing about my perception of the waters temperature. The first section felt quite cold and I usually try to keep it short. The portion after the hot part on the other hand did not fell anything like the one before. It was almost like my body had created a shield; likely to be the blood rising to the surface from the first cold water blast, and then my body was further heated from the hot water. Two last thoughts, At the beginning I had a lot of trouble turning the water on. But, I noticed that as I continued it was taking less and less effort on my part, till now I have next to no trouble. Thought two, I also noticed that taking my shower is very revitalizing, and is good for clearing my head so I can think properly.
This next section I will talk about the benefits I have seen of taking a cold-hot-cold shower. I know it would be good for warding off sickness in two ways. First, it acts as a mixer to the blood. The cold bringing the blood to the surface, then the hot driving it inwards, and finally the cold drawing it back out again. ( I think the blood does this because of homeostasis, a bodies mechanism for keeping balance.) The second reason I think these showers are good for wellness is that hot promotes openness and movement, essentially opening the pores of your skin. Cold on the other hand closes things and promotes stillness.
So, I would advise a person to end with a session of cold water at the end of a period of hot water. UNLESS, that is, they wish to have their pores open for health purposes. Although as general practice I would usually close my pores.
Also a word of caution. Try to keep the water from being to hot. Especially where your hair is concerned, as it can cause damage to the roots. (Or so I have hear. But it does make some sense.)
Thank you for reading this, and I hope you got something out of reading it.
Good Vitality and Enthusiasm to you!

Bridget Jones swapped with Del Boy in 'print error'
It's a "Bridget moment" for Vintage Publishing.
So said the publishers after discovering part of the new Bridget Jones novel was being printed in David Jason's new book - and vice versa.
The autobiography of the Only Fools and Horses star contains sections of Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy, and Helen Fielding's latest Bridget book has bits of Del Boy thrown in too.
ITV News' Nina Nannar reports:
Bridget Jones's Diary author Helen Fielding laughed the error off, telling ITV News "nothing turns out perfectly".
Even the novel's publishers were able to see the funny side of the story.
The printers have had a Bridget moment. A printing error has been detected in some of the very early copies of Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy.
Copies printed on one day have given readers an accidental preview of David Jason's autobiography.
We are taking steps to remove these copies from sale and will be replacing misprinted stock as soon as possible.

Black Diamond Whippet
4-star: 1
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
The Whippet will give you added security in places…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $54 (2 years ago)
The Whippet will give you added security in places where falling will have dire consequences. You have to know how to self-arrest for it to be useful. I recommend it for anyone that has ever wished they had, or actually had, an ice axe in their hand while skiing.
- Added security on hard snow
- Easy to grip with hand on top of the pole
- Heavier than a regular pole
- Only 2-section collapsable
I started skiing with a Whippet two seasons ago and I really like it. I don't have crampons for my skis so this gives me a nice sense of security when skiing on hard snow. I've had a few unexpected falls/slides where I couldn't stop if I wanted to but each time there were no bad consequences. When skiing above cliffs or other hazards you don't want to fall into, the Whippet could make the difference between a good day and a bad day. Having a pick as part of your pole is far superior to trying to carry an ice axe with a pole or stowing the pole and just using the ice axe.
While I haven't had to use it yet, to "save" me, it has saved me from elevation loss on the skintrack when I've slipped and slid down. Rather than having to reclimb 20+ metres, I lost less than 3 metres.
I've also found it useful for hooking trees on heinously steep skin tracks. I also think it could be useful to help me get out of a tree well if there were other trees close enough.
I'm not too concerned about skiing with a sharp object in my hand. I could see that in a bad fall, I might let go of it and it could end up pointing up at me but as long as I'm holding it, I think it's unlikely to damage to me. For it to be effective, you have to use the wrist strap so you'll have to weigh that against the risk of being caught in an avalanche and not being able to ditch your pole(s).
I don't carry it on days when I know the snow will be soft for the whole tour or if I don't think I'll be exposed to terrain where falling is not an option. It is not a replacement for an ice axe in many situations.
It is only a 2 section telescoping pole so it doesn't collapse very short for strapping to a pack.

Aussie Adrian 'Ace' Buchan's biggest surfing triumph came at the 2008 Quiksilver Pro France event in Hossegor, where he beat all-time great Kelly Slater 15.74 to 15.16 in the final in one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport. Later in the year, he showed his triumph was no fluke with a third place at the Billabong Pro Mundaka, and he finished the season sixth overall. In 2009, he finished a disappointing 23rd in the standings, but his form picked up in 2010 with a third place at the Quiksilver Pro France event and he finished the World Tour in seventh place. In 2013 he beat Kelly Slater once again to take his second tour victory, this time at the Billabong Pro Tahiti at Teahupo'o. After the win, he rocketed up the ASP WCT rankings from 18th to tenth. Born on 21st September 1982 at Avoca Beach, New South Wales, Adrian was introduced to the ocean by his father Ian at the age of four. By the time he was 14, he had been crowned World Junior Champion in the under-16 division, and two years later he won the same title at under-18 level. He also won the Australian Pro Junior Championships in 2000 and 2001. Adrian is a goofy-footer whose favourite manoeuvres are phenomenally deep forehand barrels and who possesses an unstoppable backhand snap. Honing his skills on his favourite wave back home at Avoca Point, there is no doubt that he has the ability to beat the very best.

Religion and Politics II, Domestic Policy
Original post made by Tom Cushing on Aug 24, 2011
So, I come to this week's topic with a dubious predisposition, but an honest desire to understand how readers' religious faiths inform their politics in the domestic policy arena (absent any Jovian thunderbolts, we'll examine foreign policy issues next week -- thus completing this bloggy trinity, err, trilogy). So you know whence I come to these issues, I was raised a Protestant Christian and later found a spiritual home as a UU and while I recall many a Biblical verse, I am not a serious student of them. I know less about the precepts of other faiths. Help me out, here!
Social Policies: the safety net, women's movement.
In this conception, the safety net includes government transfer payments occasioned by old age, disability and unemployment and you can throw-in the Coming of ObamaCare (a term you may not find expressed Biblically). Is there something holy in being keepers of our brethren? Does Jesus' call for feeding and clothing the least among us resonate for you? And does it matter whether the support is provided in an organized way, by the community or is it to be all private charity (in which case, is it really a generally available net?). Conversely, if you lost Everything (as many Americans have), where would you expect to turn for help?
Regarding women in the political world, there has been a recent flap over one presidential candidate's belief about 'submitting' to her husband. Are women distinct-but-equal in your religious conception, or is there a hierarchy (formal or informal) that gives men primacy as leaders? Is there a woman's place in the White Home?
The Economy: Tax Policy.
Jesus was no fan of money changers or tax collectors, and I seem to recall another verse about camels, needles and the difficulties of the rich in achieving the Pearly Gates. Do these suggest support for a strongly progressive tax system, at least for those who make their money with money (as opposed to the more honorable job-creationists)? Or is it enough that the Lord helps those who help themselves and boy, have they?! Or does it argue for fewer taxes, period? Does the Bible, Koran or some other sacred text offer guidance here (other than to avoid the consequences of evasion by timely rendering unto Caesar)?
The Environment: Climate Change/Industrial Agriculture.
This may seem an odd policy combination, but I recall Old Testament grants of dominion over the earth and its other creatures, and a call to go forth and multiply. Is this an unrestricted conveyance, such that humans may confidently ply the planet's resources without fear of climatic consequences? And does the "dominion" grant excuse the routinely brutal treatment of food animals in today's agricultural economy or is there a stewardship obligation that accompanies it: to act responsibly in our reproduction, humanely toward other species and cautiously in our depletion of the earth's abundance? Are there other learnings that inform your views on environmental issues? And which candidates' positions are most in keeping with your interpretations?
Constitutional issues: abortion, punishment, same-sex marriage.
'Reproductive rights' is the hardy perennial of American politics. While there appears to be a surface division between churched and unchurched, there are surely many among the former group who favor 'Choice.' How does that choice square with your faith? Do life's rights begin with conception? On the other end of the life cycle, is it ever morally acceptable to kill another person, even a murderer an eye for an eye, or is there another religious justification for capital punishment?
And finally, I've placed gay marriage among the Constitutional issues both because I think minority rights are fundamentally so, and because I predict that the Supremes will resolve it that way (Judge Walker got it right, in my secular view). There are fierce Old Testament injunctions against homosexuality in general, and marriage was surely then seen as a union of a man and some number of women greater than zero. But are the joys (and let us not forget those trials) of marital bliss to be reserved exclusively to one group, albeit large? Would the author of the Sermon on the Mount really agree? Was Jesus not talking about oppressed minorities in his blessings for such as the meek or the poor-in-spirit? Would he advocate for anything less than full equality among the communities of humankind? What Would Jesus, or Buddha or Mohammed really Do on this point?
There are, obviously, many other political issues than the ones I've chosen. Please feel free to hold forth on any of your choosing. After all, this confessional -- while public -- remains fully, safely anonymous.
on Aug 24, 2011 at 12:47 pm
I too am a Lutheran, apparently subversive. As a Christian I can't support capital punishment as an individual I think that human life begins when said human enters the world at birth. Too many babies are born to parents who cannot responsibly raise them . I think this is a tragedy. Abortion is painted by conservatives as a choice women take lightly, I don't buy it. Jesus had women disciples as well as male, the fact that they are often described in the Bible as the women rather than by name speaks to the times in which the Bible was written...and re-written, not I think the view of Christ.Jesus never said women should "submit" to men ...or vice versa. I do in fact think we were given "dominion" over other forms of life. My understanding of this however is not that that means we are to run roughshod over all, rather dominion is in the sense of a benevolent monarch, RESPONSIBLE for the welfare of all. As a Christian, I think we are called to see Jesus in every face we see. Gay, straight, able-bodied or not, all races. We are specifically instructed not to judge. As to taxes...absolutely , Christ on earth was a social activist and the Bible reports it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to be saved....Did I leave anything out ? :)
on Aug 24, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Dear Tom and Editor,
Thank you for asking very important questions.
So, to get things rolling, here are my answers:
Social Policies are governed by the reality that USAmerica's wealth belongs to all its citizens and we provide government to insure such equality of opportunity and support.
Our obligation to each other as USAmericans must be equal to our income in our tax policies without obligation on those that have no resources to pay a share of such tax.
Beyond Milankovitch climate cycles we have impacted our climate and environment and we share an obligation to preserve our world going forward.
No man or other woman has the right to decide the right of abortion and it remains the singular right of a woman to decide. No people or its government has the right to take a life unless in dire defense of other lives. No people or its government has the right to decide marriage beyond the laws of such contractual partnerships.
No belief exceeds the rights of individuals or should restrict the people's government. Thus, George Carlin's edit of the Ten Commandments covers such beliefs, "Keep thy religion to thyself!"
Let the wild rumpus start!

Tom, in worrying about how the opinions and actions of people are influenced by holy scripture I think you may be overestimating the influence of the Good Book on how they think. Christians of all denominations, at least, seem perfectly happy to pick what they like from the Bible and ignore the other parts. No one worries about the rich man and the camel in the eye of the needle, or about turning the other cheek. Paul's teachings about sex are happily disregarded by modern Christians, and daughters of our best Christian families get pregnant before marriage. The many atrocities sanctioned or commanded by god mainly in the old testament are also, thank god(!), ignored, at least by Christians. The long list of "crimes" punishable by death is forgotten. The many crazy laws designed to keep the minds of the faithful on their religion 24 hours a day are disregarded.
The truth of the matter seems to be that the teachings of their holy scriptures are pretty much irrelevant to what the faithful think and do. Good people select the good teachings in the Bible as a guide, and nasty people have no problem at all finding the nasty stuff to justify their inclinations.

Graduation 2013
19 July 2013
On Friday 19th July 2013, students from Cardiff School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies graduated at St David's Hall, Cardiff. The ceremony was broadcast on television screens across the School, so that staff who were not able to attend could cheer the students on as they crossed the stage.
After the ceremony, the School held a marquee reception in the garden of the Main Building, Park Place. Graduands and their guests enjoyed champagne and strawberries in the sun (or shade!) whilst music for the event was provided by harpist Siwan Lloyd.
Academic and administrative staff from the School were also in attendance, wishing the new alumni well in their future endeavours.
Graduands participated in a prize draw for a £30 Amazon.co.uk gift voucher. All they had to do to participate was complete their alumni details on a slip of card and drop it in the Graduation prize box. The lucky winner was Jasmin Serjranic.
The Dean of Nursing and Midwifery, Sheila Hunt, presented prizes to those students whose work was considered to be of an exceptional standard. Those winners present on the day were:-
Laura Bevan - winner of the Joan Healy Memorial Prize for the BSc Community Health Studies student with the best overall performance in the District Nursing Pathway
Anja Maria Reichel - winner of the Master of Nursing Society Prize for best dissertation, MSc in Nursing
Amie Symes - winner of the Eleanor Bradley Prize for best coursework for the Midwifery BM
Felicity Kirby - winner of the RCM & Deans award in memory of Cath Russell
A full list of prize winners and categories is provided below.

This past Saturday, November 12, began the final stop of the 2011 Nixon WTA (Winner-Takes-All). Now in its fifth consecutive year, The Nixon WTA awards custom, limited edition Nixon timepieces at four stops along the ASP World Tour. The four WTA challenges include: biggest air in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in May, the highest heat score in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, in July; heaviest wave at Teahupoo, Tahiti, in August; and the overall Triple Crown winner on the North Shore of Oahu in December. The WTA celebrates an achievement in the contest that may have otherwise gone forgotten.
The first stop of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is the Reef Hawaiian Pro, which began this past Saturday, November 12. The Vans World Cup of Surfing (November 25 – December 6) and Billabong Pipe Masters (December 8 – 20) will round out the Triple Crown events. The overall winner, based on accumulation of most points during those contests, will walk away with a Nixon WTA victory.
Earlier in the year, Nixon WTA titles and watches were awarded to Josh Kerr for "Biggest Air" in Rio de Janeiro, Jordy Smith for "Highest Heat Score" in Jefferys Bay, and Jeremy Flores for "Heaviest Wave" in Teahupoo.
The Nixon WTA and overall Triple Crown of Surfing winner will take home bragging rights and a custom one-of-a-kind black ceramic automatic Nixon 51-30 watch. This Swiss made mechanical timepiece is adorned with 50 black diamonds on the bezel, six black sapphires, 95 black diamond accents, as well as a Hawaiian flag on the dial. The one-of-a-kind watch is customized with an engraved caseback of the Nixon WTA logo, an etched Hawaiian flag complimenting the sidewall of the case, and is valued at over $10,000 USD.
Defending his claim to the Nixon WTA and overall Triple Crown title this year is three-time event winner (2008, 2009, 2010), Joel Parkinson.
We'll keep you posted leading up to the final crowning on December 20th, but in the meantime, you can watch video of each of the Nixon WTA Triple Crown contenders at: triplecrownofsurfing.com.

Watching a Concert Through Satellite Television
I've been a fan of a particular singer for a long time. I guess you could say that she is my favorite singer. I recently found out that she is going to have a live concert. The concert takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. I can't go to the concert because I can't ditch work and school to fly to New York to see the concert. There is a bright side to this situation, as I learned on cannonsatellite.com that the concert will be broadcast on television through a popular channel on satellite television.Currently, I don't have satellite television. I've been mostly using over the chair channels to watch television, and using the Internet to watch other shows through streaming services.

My own Perspective – Helpful Tips For Training Your Dog Easily
Realize that training your dog will take time and patience. If you feel you are not in the state of mood that you can stay patient and understanding, don't even bother trying to have a session at that moment in time, as it will only lead to frustration for you, as well as your dog. You must give your dog patience while training him, or he will feel stressed and not be able to stay focused, and your training time will be wasted. Learn about other methods of positive reinforcement, rather than just offering treats. Using treats as a reward for learning a new behavior works.

Microsoft may be comfortable with Windows Phone and Android splitting time on a single phone, but when it comes to PCs, fuhgeddaboutit. Google also isn't too thrilled with the idea of Frankenstein Android-Windows computers, and at least one PC maker may have to dump the hybrid devices from their lineup as a result.
Asus, makers of the Transformer AiO P1801 and P1802, is reportedly being forced to put the kibosh on its year-old all-in-one-slash-tablet PCs. What's more, the anticipated Transformer Book Duet TD300 shown off at CES in January is also headed for the scrap heap, according to The Wall Street Journal.
[ Want a new PC? InfoWorld picks the 12 best Window 7 PC models available today. | Get all the details you need on deploying and using Windows 7 in the InfoWorld editors' Windows 7 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
These devices run Windows when they're in PC mode. Slide out the AIO's screen or flip the laptop into a tablet, however, and boom! You've got an Android slate. The concept is theoretically appealing to users since you get the best of both worlds in one device, but Microsoft and Google apparently weren't pleased.
It's easy to understand why Microsoft wouldn't want devices like this to catch on. The company is struggling to get users to adopt Windows 8.1, an OS designed with two interfaces: One for the traditional desktop and one for touchscreen devices. A convertible PC that switches from Windows 8.1 to Android instead of from the Windows desktop to the modern UI Windows Start screen would undermine the entire Windows 8 concept.
Google grimaces
Google's opposition is a little more curious. The Journal's report suggests Google simply didn't want Android sharing space with another OS.
But as far as we know, Google never objected to Canonical's concept for a hybrid Android-Ubuntu phone, and Huawei plans on bringing an Android-Windows Phone hybrid device to the U.S. in the coming months.
PCs are different, however, and perhaps Google simply didn't like the idea of Android playing a complementary role to Windows on a PC.
Google can't stop a company from using the open source version of Android in its devices. But the search giant can clamp down on any company that wants to access Google's online services on Android. Those apps and services -- such as Gmail, Maps, and Google Play itself -- aren't part of the open source version of Android and require striking a business deal with Google before they're pre-loaded on a device.

EAST PEORIA Ill -- The Illinois Senate voted 34 to 20 in favor of House Bill 1247 which would ban the use of cell phones for drivers.
The proposal says drivers must use hands-free devices or speaker-phone features.
Police would be able to ticket drivers holding a cell phone except during emergencies.
Dozens of Illinois communities have already banned the use of talking on cell phones while driving, but how do drivers in Central Illinois feel about it?
"Personally I don't think it's a bad idea," said East Peoria resident, Brianne Kulik. "I'm not going to lie I use my phone sometimes when I'm driving, but I use speaker phone more than anything."
"I think if they are going to go that way, they need to go a step higher and eliminate a few other things, as well," said Hanna City resident, Jennifer Crowe. "I do think it is a huge issue."
The bill still needs to go back to the House for consideration of a ticketing amendment.
If approved it will then be sent to Governor Pat Quinn for final approval.

Reviews for Spinach Strawberry Salad
Sort By :
Good combination of ingredients. May also adapt to your taste. The basic ingredients for the dressing are OK, but WAY too much vinegar. With major alterations, including more sugar and oil, the dressing was good and loved by all. Without changes, totally unacceptable. Obviously you need to adjust the dressing to your taste.
Excellent recipe, I've made it several times and it always goes rapidly with my guests. It would be nice if TOH would correct the directions where it just says "mix asparagus with............" although it's obvious what to do.
I have been serving this salad since it first came out in the magazine several years agos. Its beautiful, delicious & my company has always loved it, even those that don't love all the ingredients! Making it again for a party this weekend.

This was the only room available in SF on that date. A young caucasian female clerk at the front desk was very personable.
Noisy due to Market street. Very old and out of date. Surly and abrupt front desk staff. Check-in valet was good, check-out parking valet was unfriendly and simply walked away so that I could not tip him. Hours of hotel dining facilities not adequate.Older properties tend to appear dirty. The owners need to invest money to keep this hotel competitive in my opinion.

Yelp Reviews
Jamm has had a few top quality DJ nights, most notably, those helmed by Felix B, one half of Basement Jaxx, who lives somewhere in the vicinity. It's not quite a club, more like a pub with a dance floor, and I've had quite a memorable night here (not least because I managed to lose my credit card, Oyster, ID and cardigan here yes, I had had a lot to drink).
I'm heading back here in a few...more
Brixton Jamm is a good venue, but the quality of your night all depends on the promotion that is running at that particular time.
I have been there on numerous occasions, to DJ and to party, some nights have been quite mediocre and others have been awesome.
Do your research before you go to ensure your experience is as good as it should be.more
My feelings are a bit mixed on Jamm as I had a really good night there that ended quite patchily.
The venue is split into two rooms, and I was there to see I'm From Barcelona in one of those rooms. The evening was fantastic, as were the band and we drank and talked with them afterwards on the decking out front. We were all having a great evening when at one point an aggressive lady decides...more
From the outside, the Jamm looks like the kind of place where people get shot in the toilet over drug deals gone wrong, but it's actually a really friendly and cool venue. It's a bit run down and frizzled at the edges, but that somehow just adds to its friendly and laidback atmosphere. They seem to be putting on all kinds of events, from club nights to belly dancing courses to comedy.

"My cards turned out great. The colors are fantastic. I thought the wording/title went nicely for my situation... a VERY late new year's card. I liked that it didn't say Happy New Year on it."
"I ordered my Christmas cards and paid extra for a rush order on the evening of Dec.18th not knowing that if I asked to see a proof it will delay the entire process. I called frantically and Tiny Prints delivered the cards and envelopes on Friday instead of Monday the 23rd so I can send them off on Saturday the 21th. I had time on Friday to custom print addresses on my printer for each of my 98 cards and they were all ready to be mailed on Saturday. Thanks to Tiny prints my family and friends received all their cards on Monday the 23rd before Christmas Day and I was one VERY HAPPY customer. Thank you, Bubook"
"I couldn't be happier with this card! I've been sending holiday cards through Tiny Prints for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of the products but I have to say that this card is my very favorite of all! I love the bright colors and unique design and how every photo just naturally blended beautifully with the rich color palate. This is a very busy time of year for me at work and Tiny Prints makes it possible for me to send cards to friends and family by offering the "address and mail " option, saving me precious time that I can't spare. It's so worth it!"
"I love the simplicity of the card with subtle details. The layout was perfect for the types of photos I wanted to use. I really do love the options we get to customize our card. Great job. Couldn't be happier. All my friends have said how beautiful our card is!"
"My family each did a piece of snowman art and then took pics of them to share on our card this year. The printing was excellent--my husband, who worked in printing for 15 years was very pleased with the quality! I loved this layout so we could include all of our art on the front and a pic of the kids on the back. Received sooner than expected too!"
