8 Top & Effective Tips for Gardening During a DroughtAugust 14th, 2012 | Posted by in Organic Gardening
Lack of rain and record high temperatures have decimated crops and gardens this summer in US. There are a few ways to keep precious produce from completely frying before the season concludes. First, water your garden in early morning. Give highest priority to newly planted trees, shrubs, vegetable and fruit plants and perennials. Use soaker hose instead of water sprinkler. Place 3 to 6 inches of mulch around soaker hoses, amongst plants and in pots. Move the pots in shaded and cool place. Cover plants that are in direct sunlight with garden fabric. Use barrels to harvest rainwaters.
It is up to you to live an organic and eco-friendly life.

To that end, I have found that Imago Relationship Therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy are three of the most powerful tools. However, my practice
is not limited to these modalities because I like to individualize counseling for the couples and individuals with whom I work.
In addition to the brief descriptions I provide on this site, other web sites well outline the premises and details of these therapies. I provide links
to those sites on the Resources page and encourage you to explore these references as they relate to the counseling services I offer.

Meridian Points
1. Dantian Points:
The term dantian used by itself usually refers to the lower dantian, which is considered to be the foundation of rooted standing, breathing, and body awareness in qigong and martial arts. The lower dantian has been described to be "like the root of the tree of life". Cohen, K. S. (1999). The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing. Random House of Canada. ISBN 0-345-42109-4.
Three main dantians are typically emphasized: [2]
- Lower dantian (下丹田, Xia Dantian): below the navel (about three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel), also called "the golden stove",] associated with cultivating life energy (qi) and with vital essence (jing);
- Middle dantian (中丹田, Zhong Dantian): at the level of the heart, associated with storing life energy (qi) and with respiration and health of the internal organs, in particular the thymus gland;
- Upper dantian (上丹田, Shang Dantian): at the forehead between the eyebrows or third eye, associated with the energy of consciousness and spirit (shen) and with the pineal gland.
2. Laogong Point :
The classical location of this point is where the tip of the ring finger lands, in the palm of the hand, when we make a fist (i.e. between the 3rd and 4th metacarpal bones). Some modern texts define the location to be where the tip of the middle finger lands, when we make a fist (i.e. between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones).
3. Mingmen Point:
The energetic center called Ming Men, is located between the kidneys, at the level of the second lumbar vertebrae. (If you draw a line from your navel directly back to the spine, this will be the approximate level of Ming Men.) The relationship between the Kidney organ-system and Ming Men is said to be defined by the relationship between the elements of water and fire.
4. Bai hui Point:
The Bai Hui point, which sits on the crown of the head, is known by many different names. In acupuncture, it is identified as Du Mai 20 (百会), the point where the body's Yang energy naturally converges.
Lifting the Bai Hui straightens your spine. The modern sedentary lifestyle causes a pathologically curved spine, which manifests as stiffness, lower back pain, headaches, indigestion and other health problems.
By raising the crown of your head, you can decompress your spinal vertebrae, strengthening your back, and improving your posture and health. Furthermore, this straightened spine will improve your balance (zhong ding)
5. Hegu Point:
The Hegu point is located on the dorsum of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, in the middle of the 2nd metacarpal bone on the radial side. It is the point of the Large Intestine Meridian
Command Point of the head and face
6. Triple Heater meridian points:
It is not a single self-contained organ, but rather a functional energy system involved in regulating the activities of other organs.
It is composed of three parts, known as 'burners', each associated with one of the body's three main cavities: thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
Sometimes called the Triple Warmer Organ because the three body cavities are intended to control the body temperatures.
The Upper, which relates to the chest above the diaphragm. It controls the intake of air, food, and fluids. It harmonizes the functions of Heart and Lungs, governs respiration, and regulates the distribution of protective energy to the body's external surfaces.
The Middle, which relates to the area between the diaphragm and navel. It controls digestion by harmonizing the functions of Stomach, Spleen, and Pancreas. It is responsible for extracting nourishing energy from food and fluids and distributing it via the meridian system to the Lungs and other parts of the body.
The Lower, which is located below the navel. It is responsible for separating the pure from the impure products of digestion, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating solid and liquid wastes. It harmonizes the functions of liver, kidney, bladder, and large and small intestines and also regulates sexual and reproductive functions.
The Triple Burner is not represented by a physical organ. Rather, it is important because of its job, which is to circulate liquid energy throughout the organs. It begins at the tip of the ring finger and flows over the shoulder to the chest cavity. Atop it, it splits into two branches. One branch travels through the middle and lower parts of the body, uniting the upper, middle and lower burners. The other runs externally up the side of the neck, circling the face to finally meet the Gallbladder Meridian at the outer ends of the eyebrow.

A group of protesters climbed out onto the catwalk that connects the two sides
of Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Center on Wednesday afternoon, and threatened to jump to
their deaths.
The protesters were reportedly part of the Love Revolution
activist group, and the "Catwalk 8" were joined by colleagues who blocked
traffic outside the center during rush hour at one of the busiest junctions in
Tel Aviv.
After Dizengoff Street was blocked, protesters formed a circle
on it and began reading statements about togetherness and despair, selfishness
and justice, among other principles.
The protest drew a large crowd of
curious onlookers, many of whom had been shopping at Dizengoff Center or on
their way to the mall when the street outside became jammed with cops and
There seemed to be a relatively even break between those
calling on the protesters to jump, and those chanting, "Don't jump, change is
possible!" More than a few people joked that the protest could turn out to be a
viral ad for the new iPhone 5, as the catwalk was directly above a giant sign
for the "iDigital store" and only one floor above a competing sign for
After the first hour, police worked to clear the street,
detaining four people on suspicion of disturbing the peace.
One of those,
a petite blond who appeared to be no older than 20, had allegedly charged a
police van, demanding that a friend be let out. She then allegedly took a swing
at a cop's face and was promptly reunited with her friend in the police
In lieu of demands, protesters handed out a manifesto of sorts,
which laid out their concerns.
"To our brothers and sisters – sometimes
there comes a point where you say, enough!" the note read. "Do you know the
feeling where you're on the edge of the abyss, the feeling that we've reached
the edge? This is how we feel. Instead of coming together as one human family,
there are walls between us; instead of giving to one another, we are taking from
one another."
It concluded, "We have a prayer, that this extreme step
will bring forth a big revolution, a revolution that will bring us together,
bring us from selfishness to togetherness. Remember that you are more
beautiful than you know."
In the end, after paramedics set up giant air
cushions on the street below the catwalk, the protesters unveiled a banner
reading "Love Revolution" to cheers from the crowd below.
thereafter, they unveiled two other banners which read the same, then chanted,
"Let's all be human beings!" and climbed down from the catwalk one by
Police arrested all eight protesters afterward and are considering
pressing charges against them to recoup the fees accrued in the rescue effort.

Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Day
Thu, Mar 24
4:20 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.
Manley Field House Arena
I dont have any more information on it, I never got an email from SU Athletics like last time, but it is apparently the event meant to make up for the National Letter of Intent Signing Day celebration being cancelled.
I'm going to head up there to check it out and hopefully get some good pics with the wee one and the team, and possibly check out the new Tops right around the corner. Did anyone else get an email stating this even was happening, or is going to this? Many thanks to Dan Lyons in his post for making me aware that this was taking place.

Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George fought back Thursday against "inaccurate" media reports that suggested his bombshell IRS audit was biased.
His office told several media outlets on Tuesday that the audit focused solely on tea party groups at the request of House Republicans. In a letter to Rep. Sander M. Levin (D-MI), George denied that the audit improperly omitted information on the treatment of progressive and liberal groups.
He insisted that tea party groups were treated differently than other groups.
Between May 2010 and May 2012, the investigators found that 100 percent of tea party applications were referred for additional scrutiny as potential political cases, George said. In contrast, only 30 percent of groups having the words "progress" or "progressive" in their names were referred for additional scrutiny as potential political cases.
Of the 298 cases the IRS identified as potential political cases between May 2010 and May 2012, only six contained the words "progress" or "progressive."
However, George also admitted that the treatment of progressive and liberal groups was not fully investigated because they were included on a section of so-called "Be On the Look Out" lists that was unrelated to political cases. The audit only focused on how the IRS treated potential political cases.
"TIGTA did not audit how the criteria for the 'Progressives' identifier were developed in the BOLO listings," George said.
The BOLO listing categorized the tea party under the "Emerging Issue" section, which was used to identify potential political cases. The BOLO listing categorized progressives under the "TAG Historical" section. George said investigators did not find evidence that this latter section was used as selection criteria for potential political cases.
"The term 'Progressives' appears, beginning in August 2010, in a separate section of the BOLO listings that was labeled 'TAG [Touch and Go] Historical' or 'Potential Abusive Historical,'" George explained. "The Touch and Go group within the Exempt Organizations function Determinations Unit is a different group of specialists than the team of specialists that was processing potential political cases related to the allegations we audited."
According to the IRS manual, the Touch and Go group processes tax exempt applications that "may involve an abusive tax avoidance transaction, fraud, or terrorism."
George and his office faced criticism from Democrats earlier this week for not mentioning that "progressive" appeared on the BOLO lists and were among the 298 organizations in the audit, even when directly questioned.
"The failure of the IG's audit to acknowledge these facts is a fundamental flaw in the foundation of the investigation and the public's perception of this issue," Levin said Thursday. "I wrote to the IG and asked him to explain these omissions. And all Committee Democrats have asked today, Mr. Chairman, that you ask Mr. George to return to the Committee to provide the appropriate context for his report and answer questions under oath regarding all of these matters."

Wimbledon historian inspires new biennial competition
7:00am Sunday 24th March 2013 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
Residents are being called upon to invoke the spirit of one of Wimbledon's most notable historians as part of a new competition.
The Richard Milward Prize for local history is a new biennial competition which will be launched by the Wimbledon Society during this year's Bookfest.
An Oxford undergraduate, Millward spend his whole life in Wimbledon and taught history at Wimbledon College and has often been affectionately referred to as Wimbledon's Mr Chips.
He also spent six years as president of the Wimbledon Society.
Monica Ellison, from the Society, said: "It is unlikely that we will immediately discover an historian of Richard's brilliance but at least we can give everyone the opportunity to Make History themselves.
"As the saying goes, no one says you must succeed the only shame is not having the courage to try."
To enter residents will need to submit an article or essay focusing on Wimbledon based on original research not previously published.
Budding historians have 18 months to complete their research, which should be between 1,000 and 2,000 words in length, with a deadline of August 28, 2014.
Workshops will be held later in the process to help entrants with their research with winners due to be announced as part of Bookfest 2014.
For more information, entry forms and prizes visit wimbledonsociety.org.uk or the Museum of Wimbledon, 22 Ridgway, Wimbledon SW19 4QN.

It's been quite a week so I didn't get to address fun facts Friday. Belatedly, here are a few events for Saturday, Oct. 13, in and near San Jacinto.
You might not classify this as fun but the 7:30 a.m. Rebuilding Hemet Facebook group's community cleanup event is a great way to meet your neighbors at the San Jacinto Community Center. The project near the center along San Jacinto Avenue and Seventh Street, should continue until at least 10:30 a.m.
Habitat for Humanity's Hemet/San Jacinto affiliate hosts its 11th annual fundraiser from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Country Club at Soboba Springs on Soboba Road west of Lake Park Drive in San Jacinto.
Instead of a fixed donation, the affilate's President Lakshman Koka wrote me that the idea is to get people acquainted with Habitat and the nonprofit's mission so people are asked to commit to donate $10, $20 or $100 a month, whatever they can afford to help this cause.
Here's the group's mission statement in part: "To eliminate poverty housing and make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action within the Valley."
Habitat completed its first house in Hemet in 1995, followed by three houses the next year in San Jacinto. There is a row of Habitat houses in Hemet, with one of the most recent in the 700 block of West Latham Avenue. The group has another fundraiser in spring, the Diamond Valley Lake Marathon.
Read about the latest challenge to homebuilding here after the state abolished redevelopment agencies, which made affordable housing funds available for builders like Habitat in San Jacinto and Hemet.
Check out www.pe.com on Monday for a story about possible future building prospects in San Jacinto now in the talking stage.
If you're up for a lovely fall drive, with a designated driver, I recommend Art Alliance of Idyllwild's 15th annual Art Walk and Wine Tasting event from 2 to 5 p.m. With temperatures in the mid-60s in the mountains. it's great exercise for walking, or they offer a shuttle. This year's wine list has a mix of Temecula wineries and some from regional wine distributors available locally. The art also is eclectic.
If you decide to go to Idyllwild, or even just Hemet this Saturday, be aware there may be more bicylists on the road than usual. Canyon Lake is a bit out of my blog territory, but the Canyon Lake Fitness & Triathlon Club hosts an "underground" CanyonMan race today.
Thanks to The Hub Cyclery in Idyllwild, I learned that the race goes right through the San Jacinto Valley and up to Idyllwild. Basically the route for bikes on Domenigoni Parkway goes from Winchester to Hemet, State Street north to Florida Avenue (Highway 74) then east up to Mountain Center and onto Highway 243 to Idyllwild.
OMG!!! The big race is 140.6 miles long, or competitors could sign up for half that distance. I would be interested in talking to any racers from San Jacinto to hear about their adventures. Send an email to email@example.com or call me at 951-763-3455.

Reporter: David Tate
Alleghany Co., VA - The high winds and dry forests are hampering efforts to put out a handful of fires that are burning across our area Monday night.
The biggest one, more than 700 acres, is burning on Potts Mountain, right where Allegheny, Botetourt and Craig Counties meet.
People in those areas are seeing the effects of the Red Flag Warning up on Potts Mountain. Flames consumed the area affected, which is in the Barbours Creek Wilderness area.
Rangers got a call Saturday afternoon and were able to trace its origins to a spot near the Potts Mountain Jeep Trail, which does lead investigators to believe this was started by people.
In all, more than 40 firefighters are taking on this fire, including 20 members of the Augusta County Hotshots. They arrived just in time for the red flag day, which presents perfect conditions for a fire to get out of control.
"You have high winds, low humidity and dry fuels is the bottom line, really, and we're experiencing all three. For the next few days the weather really is not going to be our friend and that trend is going to continue," said Barbara Walker with U.S. Forest Service.
"It is (a) windy day and there is quite a bit of turbulence and a lot of convective activity and add that to the heat of the fire it sometimes becomes quite interesting," said Skip Messersmith, a helicopter pilot.
There are four homes near Boiling Springs that are in the danger zone. Volunteers are assisting those people while the state and national forces focus on containing this fire.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect for our area through 8 p.m. Check our weather page for updates from the ABC 13 Weather Experts.

this draft is done under the premise that finnegan, wells and dahl have been cut. and they let saffold walk due to demanding too high of a salary.
with the 2nd overall pick, the rams wanted to trade down, they almost have to. the titans come calling, they offer their 1st, 2nd and next years first to move up to second overall to draft Clowney. thought process here for the rams is building draft capital for next season is imperative and dropping to 11 may take them out of the running for some targets but not all. they hope g robinson falls, but if he doesnt there is a good chance watkins does, if both are picked up they can look at top CBs now that finnegan is gone.
at pick 13 clinton dix and pryor are still on the board. dallas comes calling, the rams know they want haha. so its a bit of a gamble to make the deal if the bears are also going to draft one of the top FS's...but at this point the rams could still draft one of the top CBs or DTs if they trade back. and seeing more needs and great depth in this draft, snead pulls the trigger with the cowboys. cowboys give up their 1st 2nd and 3rd to move up 4 spots and the rams still land their target for their pick in Pryor.
Round 1 Pick 11 (TENN): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (A)
Round 1 Pick 17 (DAL): Calvin Pryor, FS, Louisville (A)
Round 2 Pick 10 (TENN): Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA (A-)
Round 2 Pick 12: Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota (A)
Round 2 Pick 16 (DAL): Lamarcus Joyner, CB, Florida State (B)
Round 3 Pick 11: Kyle Van Noy, OLB, Brigham Young (A)
Round 3 Pick 15 (DAL): Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada (B-)
Round 4 Pick 10: Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU (A)
Round 5 Pick 13: Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU (A)
Round 6 Pick 12: Tyler Larsen, C, Utah State (A)
Round 7 Pick 11: Crockett Gillmore, TE, Colorado State (D+)
an accumulation of picks like this is certainly not out of consideration for the rams this year. they lack any glaring needs to be filled with the #2 pick. Larsen will battle Barnes and Jones for the starting OC spot. most likely winning out and moving Jones back to his utility role on the line. bitonio is the backup LT but will probably play RG most of the season with Sua-Filo playing LG as he is more athletic and will be better at pulling than Bitonio. Hageman joins the DT rotation and gives the rams the best front 4 in the league while the addition of Van Noy (in the 3rd somehow) gives the rams the best front 7 in the league. Mettenberger brings in some (much anticipated for some) competition for Bradford, solid arm and capable of running a pro offense. the addition of a RB marks the end of a short run for I Pead, its time the rams just cut bait with him and J Hill can be brought in as a short yardage back and current project for rams coaches. he has the talent to be a feature back, just not sure if he has the head. this is a low risk high reward pick here for the rams, hopefully having his leader from his college offense on the team can help his maturity. Gillmore isnt exciting, but he has produced at the college level, he can come in on special teams and be some depth at TE.


text: I can't believe there are some fans who are concerned about Pedro and his 119 strikeouts. A power hitter is going to strikeout alot because of the arc of his swing. The real question is, is he making adjustments? You decide for yourself. Pre Allstar .214 avg OBP .272 . Post Allstar .270avg OBP .344. Not convinced? Ist time seeing a pitcher 82 k's 193 abs. 187.avg. Horrible right? 2nd time seeing same pitcher 20 k's in 82 abs, .333 avg. 3rd time in game, 16 k's in 69 at bats, .362 avg. He improved tremendously post all star and throughtout each game the more he adjusted to the pitcher. He's 23. With the speed of Cutch and Tabata and their good OBP and a solid duo of Diaz/Jones hitting behind him watch out.

Congressman Tim Holden -- who's running to represent the Easton area -- already has the backing of .
On Friday, he got support from a Democrat who's a bit farther up the political ladder: House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer.
Hoyer, who represents Maryland's 5th district and has spent 31 years in Congress, stopped in Easton and Upper Nazareth Friday, having lunch at in Centre Square following a visit to .
They spoke to Eastonians during Josie's busy lunchtime rush, and were greeted by Easton Mayor Sal Panto, City Councilman Ken Brown, County Controller Steve Barron, and School Board Member Frank Pintabone.
Holden is facing a primary challenge from Lackawanna County to represent the newly reconfigured 17th district, which includes the Easton area and much of Northampton County, as well Schuylkill County and parts of Monroe, Lackwanna, Luzurne, Carbon counties.
"He really is grassroots," Brown said of Holden, who's based in Schuylkill County. "He knows what small towns need."
Barron said he admires Holden's abilities to "negotiate the halls of Congress."
"He's one of the few guys in Washington that D.C. hasn't changed," Barron said.
Hoyer praised Holden as a representative who was interested in more than "simply playing politics and throwing bricks."
He also said Holden was instrumental as head of the House Agricultural Committee on passing legislation that helped farmers in the Chesapeake Bay, part of Hoyer's district.
Although based outside of the area, Holden and Cartwright have opened in Easton -- within blocks of each other -- in the last few weeks.
On Wednesday, The National Journal reported that Cartwright had raised nearly $600,000 in his effort to unseat Holden.
"Holden also has other advantages of incumbency, even if he is new to much of the district," the story notes. "For example, longtime relationships with networks of local elected officials will ease Holden's getting-to-know-you process in new territory, and he has already nabbed a few Democratic committee endorsements in Cartwright's home territory. Cartwright's fundraising alone isn't enough to overcome a litany of other disadvantages or make him the race's favorite. But his finances will give Cartwright the chance to have a chance."
Holden, who is known as a "Blue Dog" Democrat (i.e. a more moderate-to-conservative Democrat), has been criticized by Cartwright for his votes in favor of the Bush tax cuts and the balanced budget amendment.
Holden's campaign told PoliticsPA earlier this month that the Congressman had "has been a fierce advocate for American workers," and said Holden's endorsements from political leaders show that "that Democrats aren't buying our opponent's rhetoric."

What makes every Morgan thread "Official"?
Nice to see STocker playing last night. Thought our depth at TE was suspect. At cut time, players like Cooley might be available. Hopefully we'll see an salvageable OG available. Maybe another team might unload a high salaried OG that we can snag.-----------------Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley is not a lock to make the final roster. At nearly $3.2 million (and approximately $6.2 against the salary cap) he's an expensive backup to TE Fred Davis. Cooley's knee, however, has not been an issue in camp, which could help his case.Read more: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl#ixzz24ZEDcFSt

I personally think Freeman should play a quarter on Wednesday regardless if the first team O is in. You can say it's preseason, you can say he was pressured or he was focusing on his reads but you can't deny that he looked like crap out there. He needs to get in sync with the game and make better throws.

Hello all,
First off i apologize if this should be a fan shot but I need your help. In my Sophomore English Honors class our final is coming up. The assignment is to prove a point and support your thesis with evidence. Obviously i tried to incorporate the angels so i came up with the Thesis statement- "Due to multiple factors, the Los Angeles Angels will win the 2011 World Series." Any revisions? I also need some evidence for this. I can think of a few things but i eventually need 10-14. I know some of you guys are teachers and english teachers specifically so id really appreciate the help. For example one of my slides (power point) will be on Weaver and Haren following each other and how important the front of the rotation is in the post season. Another might be the depth of our rotation, since nobody is really an angels expert in my class i might include our "superb" bullpen depth. Any ideas would be great, thanks! And help me prove that the winner of the next world series are the halos2011champs

Originally published at The Apochrypha. Please leave any comments there.
We were very close to not going on this holiday. Between the stresses of the house and straining bank accounts from Christmas and the upcoming wedding it was a close run thing.
I'd managed to get a half day to help finish the packing as we'd only finally decided to go that morning. Once Finn got home from school we headed straight to the airport. I'd never flown from Prestwick before and to be honest its certainly not my favorite airport in the world. Largely forgettable and the closest I've ever gotten to finding an airport that looks like the one I flew out of Moscow from. It is a barn. Anyway on the way there the wind and rain were terrible and we actually thought we'd either be delayed for hours while it calmed down or the flight would be canceled. In the end though it went ahead but the turbulence was horrendous and the landing was the worst I'd ever experienced.
Yet again I was using an airport I've never been in before. I usually fly into Heathrow and get the Heathrow Express right into Paddington so I know my way about the Circle Line and getting to and from Victoria. Getting the train from Stanstead to Liverpool Street totally threw my bearings. Thankfully where we were going was on the Central Line anyway so it was actually quite simple. Kirsty's brother Simon was kind enough to let us stay at his flat while he was in Barcalona for the weekend so financially we could actually enjoy ourselves. Simon met us at the station and led us round to his flat we're we took over his bedroom. Both Nairn and Erica were beyond tired though and so screamed for at least an hour. It couldn't have been good for Simon or his flatmate but at least they were in a different room.
We hadn't actually worked out what we were going to do during the weekend other than to say what we'd like to do in general. We got up that morning though and decided to hit Hamleys first and start off as we meant to finish and let the kids enjoy this weekend as much as we hoped to. We managed to navigate from the flat to Leytonstone Tube Station very easily which was actually a sign of things to come. Being fifteen minutes by train outside of the centre of London sounds great until you realise that it can take another 30 minutes at least to get from one side of the centre to the other and even more if it involves changing trains. Anyway we got off at Oxford Circus and sauntered round to Hamleys. It was mobbed. We managed around the top 3 floors but had to leave after Findlay spent a while playing with a remote control car and bike. It was just to claustrophobic but the boys were loving it though.
We then headed down the Victoria Line and got off at Victoria Street Station to head up past my work and onto Buckingham Palace. I took everyone along Victoria Street until we found Westminster Cathedral. WE wandered around there for a wee while before I dragged them up Palace Street past my work whilst confusing my mate who was in the office by asking him where I could get a bottle of juice from. Buckingham Palace isn't really much to see. Unless you catch the changing of the guard I can't quite work out why such large crowds would come and see it. Anyway we walked up past a park and down to the riverside. I've seen the London Eye from a distance before but even although its 'only' 135m high you just don't quite get how high it is until your standing underneath it. We'd had a choice to make earlier about whether to go up during the day or go up after the sun had set. Thankfully we went up when it was dark and the whole of London was lit up. It made it look more like a toy town from the very top than the grey mass it really is that you see during the day. We managed to get back to the flat for about 8pm going past Tesco on the way. There is a Christian charity shop on Leytonstone High Road that has some of the most amazing furniture and we clocked this amazing dolls house in the window but on closer inspection it was actually a birdcage!
It rained. And rained. And rained. It was also bloody freezing. Did I mention it was a bit wet? I don't know wether it was stupidity or sheer brilliance but we headed to Camden Market that morning. I really must look more into the tube stations though before we do things like that. Trying to carry an occupied pram up and down the 96 step 'emergency' stairwell because its the only way in and out is just sheer lunacy at the best of times but when you've got a train full of folk around you as well it just gets silly. We made it though. And this is where we discover the one thing that annoys the hell out of me about London. Unless your at a huge supermarket or a tube station there are no speed bank machines anywhere! We walked the full length of Camden looking for one until we hit Morrisons and ended up in there for a cup of hot chocolate. Thankfully the boost of heat brightened up our day so we went back around the markets for another look. Vonnie was a bit disappointed that we only spied one 'fake' celebrity in the form of Peaches Geldof but in a town of 5 million people what are your chances? We came to the conclusion that we could actually live in Camden but I can't stand the commuting
After that we headed over to Covent Garden for some more markets and shops. It looked lovely but my god you get some amount of pretentious folk down there. I was also in what has to be the worst laid out shop on the planet. Lush in Covent Garden really needs some traffic lights and a one way system put in. I'm not joking when I say there is barely enough room for one person to move in an aisle never mind a shop full with bags of shopping!
We finished the night off with the Transport Museum. I didn't think it was as good as the one in Glasgow but then it only deals with London transport rather than any and all forms. No row upon row of old cars but plenty of buses and trains. The kids loved it though which it why we were there.
We were up early so that we could meet Despina and her family for a jaunt around the Science Museum. Lovely people and Findlay got on great with Josh. I don't know how we managed it but we managed to spend about 5-6 hours in there and it flew past! Nairn did a bunk at one point though from one of the kids areas and almost made it to the lifts but we caught him just in time. On the way out we were surprised to find a piper so Vonnie had to get him playing Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave! We went for dinner in a wee Italian restaurant around the corner which was nice. The pasta was a bit weird but still nice despite that. I don't actually remember much after that as I think I dozed off on the tube back to Leytonstone.
How there wasn't any bloodshed I really do not know. We headed back round to Hamley's to pick up a few things and then jumped the train back out to Stanstead. We decided that rather than rushing about with the kids and possibly being late for the flights we'd get there early and try and relax. Between all the carrying of prams, bags and very little sleep from the night before I was a walking wreck and how Vonnie didn't snap and stab me at several points I really do not know. Anyway we made it onto the plane only for Erica to scream the entire flight and Nairn to act up. If he wasn't headbutting Findlay for his toys he was trying to open the lifejackets under the seats. We did win a free flight out of it though so its not all bad. We will be using that for a night/weekend away for us and ntothe kids though as I don't think we could handle that again until the kids are a wee bit older.

Barbara Bergum was intrigued by the unusual instrument that a musician from Senegal was playing in Old Sacramento Sunday.
"It's so powerful, so beautiful," said Bergum, 64, of Sacramento. "It's rare to find someone who knows how to play it."
Bergum was among the 50 or so people who gathered to hear Grammy nominee Youssoupha Sidibe play the kora, or West African harp, at the sixth annual Sacramento World Music and Dance Festival, or SacWorldFest.
"Our goal is to celebrate the fact that we are the most multiculturally assimilated city in America," said Steve Hammond, president and CEO of the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau, which sponsors the event. "We want people going up and down the street experiencing and learning about other cultures."
Early Sunday afternoon, about 500 people were checking out the festival, which usually draws about 10,000 over the course of the day. A variety of dance and music groups performed on three stages along Front Street, between I and L streets.
Sidibe, 47, who emigrated from Dakar, Senegal, in 1998, was happy to talk about his music. In 2007, his album "Youth," which he recorded with American reggae artist Matisyahu, was nominated for a Grammy as best reggae album of the year.
While he was performing at the Global Village tent Sunday, he asked the audience how many knew what instrument he was playing. Only a few hands went up.
Most of the songs that Sidibe writes are about the people and plight of Senegal and Africa.
"When you hear the music, you forget everything else going on in life," he told the audience, "There is so much pain that we suffer that we have to release it. Music helps us move on every day."
Ling Hsiao, 50, of Rancho Cordova was impressed with the Sidibe's performance.
"It's very good," she said. "His instrument is very special."
This was the second year that Hsiao and her husband, Phil Lutz, 55, have attended SacWorldFest.
"I like to look at different cultures, and this is a very clean event that I like to come every year," she said.
At the Waterfront stage, Elizabeth Williams, 32, of West Sacramento and her two children, Ella 2, and George, 3, watched the Dancers of Gamelan Sekar Jaya perform numbers from Bali and Indonesia.
"Their outfits were crazy – very festive," she said, adding that this was the first time the family had attended SacWorldFest.
"I came down here because it's a free event for families," she said. "It's a great way to expose the kids to different cultures, different music and dances."
The family stayed to catch the Midway Marvels, a steampunk band that performed a number of lively Americana and new folk songs.
"The kids like the drums," Williams said.

"We now have unshakable conviction that accident causes are man-made and that a manmade problem can be solved by men and women." ~W.H. Cameron
WitzShared spotlights issues in the warehouse and manufacturing industry such as workplace safety, operations, productivity, continuous improvement and leadership. I can help you become a better prepared supervisor by offering you a point of view with 25+ years of warehouse/operations experience through this blog to spark new ideas, ways of thinking and growth in you.
Stay Hydrated during those hot days Safety Tail Gate Topic: Not drinking enough water when temperatures and humidity are high along with strenuous physical activity can cause issues in your warehouse. When working vigorously, employees should drink at least 8oz. of water every hour and taking breaks in a cool place to help avoid heat exhaustion. Placing a water cooler in a strategic location for the staff will encourage them to keep drinking water and stay productive and it would be a good practice to encourage the use of water containers that can be closed to avoid spills on the dock floor.
The symptoms of heat exhaustion are heavy sweating, faintness, cool moist skin, dizziness, fatigue, weak rapid pulse, muscle cramps, nausea and headache. If you find a fellow employee exhibiting these symptoms move them immediately to a cooler and/or shaded location. Notify a supervisor or send another employee to alert management, since you don't want to leave the ill person alone. Give them cool water or a sports drink if available. Does your company have an emergency response team or procedures to cover someone in stress? This would be a great topic to cover in your teams next safety meeting as well.

The story on Aunt Ida's Recipes for Disaster. So I had been busy with a new client implementing a 5S program on site when… o.k., the truth is I was cleaning and organizing the garage for my longest and dearest client, my wife, who thought the experience would help my writers block. My attention soon became focused on a stack of boxes that contained many different artifacts, kindergarden child art and tax records of 1996 vintage when I happened upon an old beat up wooden box that was full of sheets of notepaper that had yellowed with age and covered with faded hand writing and food stains. What I found was astounding since I thought Aunt Ida's recipes for disaster where long lost. You'll find each recipe to be elegantly crafted so that anyone can properly execute it like a legend. Our current featured recipe is LOTO GROUND TAR TAR. Please feel free to share with your fellow co-workers and sign up for email delivery of each new recipe. Bon Appétit.

|Rotarians offer help in project
By K. SUTHAKAR
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Rotary Club of Kuala Terengganu wants to give a helping hand to the state's reef ball project off the waters of Pulau Redang.
Its president Soh Cheng Thiong said they were willing to teach other groups who are keen to help in the project.
He said 15 club members took two months to make 70 reef balls, which were sunk off the water of Pulau Redang last week.
Divers unfurling a banner of the reef ball project in the waters off Pulau Redang in Terengganu on March 12. Next to it is a reef ball. ?We are willing to share our knowledge to restore the ailing coral reefs and create new fishing grounds,? he said.
He was commenting on Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh's statement that the state plans to sink 1,000 reef balls into the sea by end of the year.
Idris said this after witnessing 70 reef balls being dropped into the sea.
The club, with the co-operation of the state and Laguna Redang Island Resort, initiated the project.
Idris called on Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia (Kustem) and other organisations to help in the project. Club vice-president Dr Dayal Krishnan said they plan to raise money to sink more reef balls into the sea.
He said the club would make miniature reef balls, which would be sold to resort guests.
?We will use the money to fund periodic research into the effectiveness of reef balls in the sea.? He said marine biologist Associated Prof Liew Hock Chark of Kustem was heading the research team.
?They will send divers to check if there are coral growth on the reef balls and conduct other related studies,? he said.

Peer Ministry Discipleship Retreat
March 14-15, 2014 Gainey Conference Center
The focus of this retreat is to grow in being a disciple of Jesus Christ. All students are welcome. This retreat is led by the Peer Ministry leadership team.
During this retreat, participants will explore what scripture says about being people of justice. How do we "do" social justice and what are some of the joys and challenges to living out this Gospel call? Why is God's message of overthrowing the ways of the world joyful? Won't we suffer some, lose some, if this happens?
The retreat will be held March 14-15 at Gainey Conference Center. Cost is $10.00 per person and includes transportation, meals, and lodging. There will be opportunities for prayer, personal reflection, fellowship, and small group sharing. Come join us! REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED FOR THIS RETREAT.

Silicon photonics has huge market potential, if the current constraints that affect cost can be leveraged
Silicon photonics has tremendous potential as a new technology, blending optical technology with low cost CMOS semiconductor processing. Silicon photonics is a disruptive technology that enables a new breed of monolithic opto-electronic devices.
The goal is to deliver economic optical connectivity everywhere, from network level to intra-system level, and eventually to chip-to-chip.
Today, except for the light source, all other optical functions(modulators, detection, waveguides, intelligence ...) can be embedded wafer-level at the SOI substrate.
Silicon photonics addresses different kind of devices such as:
Moreover, passive optical elements (such as array wave guides, optical filters, couplers, splitters, polarizer arrays) can be created with silicon photonics technologies and integrated with active elements.
In the report, we distinguish between Silicon photonics, CMOS photonics, Hybrid silicon photonics, and III-V integrated photonics. Silicon photonics has been restrained to R&D labs for a long time, but now the first Silicon photonics products have shipped and an industrial infrastructure has been set up step-by-step.
Figure 1: silicon photonics application TAM
Although silicon photonics can address a wide range of applications, very few companies are actually shipping products.
Data communications is the big market and will dwarf all other silicon photonics applications. Indeed, major datacom protocols are all moving to high-speed signaling and passing 10Gbps where reach and signal integrity issues are surfacing for both copper and optical technologies. There is a clear trend to surpass 25Gb in datacom protocols and this is where Si photonics will make sense.
Silicon photonics still faces big industrial and technical challenges:
Figure 2: Si photonics market forecast
For several years now, the silicon photonics projects have been under the umbrella of large-scale R&D projects to set up roadmaps. Today, MPW services foundries are opening and more industrial foundry activities are set up. Generic technologies and generic production platforms are needed to achieve low cost/high volume. As the future lays in the separation of design and fabrication, this industry is looking for an electronics-like foundry model. The mapping of the players involved in silicon photonics already shows an important number of foundry services.
Figure 3: Si photonics players mapping
Although the industry is trying to use as much as possible of the existing CMOS processes, 3D Ics technologies will contribute to the Si photonics, especially wafer bonding and 3D interconnects.
Although the market will grow by a factor of 3 in 5 years, business could explode after 2020 as inter and intra-chip communications could make this market grow by a factor of 10!
This report gives an overview of the silicon photonics markets, technologies and players. We also include a financial analysis that shows the latest VC funds.

Mathematical and logical truths exist before we have discovered them, so...

You're right, of course. Mathematics is the most provable, testable science that there is, and it is simple in that we are dealing with concepts, not real-world observations with experimental errors. For the macroscopic world, it is a wonderful system. Once we get to the quantum scale, difficulties arise. It seems that our mathematics cannot be used to construct reasonable models of the quantum world. A fault of quantum theory or a limitation of mathematics? I lean toward the former, but the latter is not out of the question.
What do you mean that mathematics cannot be used to construct reasonable models of the quantum world? What else is used to construct those models?
I don't understand why you appear to be suggesting that mathematics stops working at the quantum level. To my knowledge it does not, in fact it's so reliable that we pretty much explore the quantum world exclusively with mathematical modeling.
Nothing we have discovered relative to quantum phenomena has rendered invalid one iota of mathematics. Mathematics doesn't have some preference for the macroscopic over the quantum world any more than science deciding that the heavens were heliocentric rather than geocentric revealed any problems in mathematics.
IMO you are confusing mathematics with physics. The science of physics is what explodes due to paradigm shift every few centuries and has to be put back together from scratch... mathematics continues working through it all with at most some new notation being desirable.
P.S. I also do not regard mathematics to be some sort of science. They're completely different things. Mathematics isn't established or expanded by the scientific method nor are its conclusions tested by experimentation as those of science are.

For Yahoo, on the gambling side of things no. But my wife and lots of girls I know spend a large amount of time on Facebook games, Yahoo mail, Yahoo news. If they are going for the ladies it is a nuclear strike. It also gets them a pretty big wedge into Facebook who they compete with on marketing levels.
Maybe Zynga sells some games or the social games part of the company to Yahoo and the real gambling part they split off, if Pincus wants growth that would be a more intense focused growth again. Also real gambling doesn't make sense for most of Yahoo!'s target market it seems.
However there are too many opportunities with real gambling and being a land rush if it happens and seems to be, so it is probably a bit too late. Maybe if this was 6 months ago it might seem more likely. Unless of course Zynga needs Yahoo money to do things with...
|Damian Connolly
So basically an investor says that Zynga *might* be a good target for Yahoo, essentially just pulling it out of the air, and their stock jumps 10%? If I were them, I'd be paying investors to say this all day
|E Zachary Knight
Considering Yahoo has merge with a number of companies that have become failures shortly there after, I can say that a merger with Zynga is a perfect fit.

Construction will soon begin for a new Spiritual Life Center on the campus of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Greenville. Ground was broken for the new 25,000 square feet facility Friday, March 27. The new structure will incorporate a portion of the existing Parish Hall and feature a large meeting area sufficient to seat approximately 400 for large gatherings and a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen.
The first floor will provide a nursery, a music room and Peter's Way for religious articles and books. In addition, the St. Vincent DePaul Society which provides food, clothing and other assistance to the needy of Pitt County will now be able to have sufficient space for better serving those in need. The second floor will have large and small meeting rooms, particularly for the youth of the parish and evangelization and many other parish organizations. The building will also allow for offices and storage space.
Fr. Justin Kerber, CP, Pastor of St. Peter, said he was overwhelmed and grateful by the response and commitment of the parishioners in meeting the goal of the $2.3 million capital campaign.
The project is expected to be completed by December 27, 2009.

I never notice how it kind of looks like a christmas ornament. It's actually just from a picture I took at one of the Sugarland Concerts I went to. I liked how it turned out so I cropped it and made it my profile pic.
I'm A Country Girl Who Loves Spending Time With Family And Friends. During The Summer When I'm Not Working I'm Either At A Concert Or Hanging Out At The Lake. I Love Watching Sports. My Teams Are Baseball: St. Louis Cardinals, Football: Pittsburgh Steelers And Mizzou Tigers.
The Sugarland Concert In St. Louis on 7 Oct 2011 was Incredible. Sugarland Was Rocking it like they always do. I have been to a lot of Sugarland Concerts, But This Was By Far The Best One. Sugarland Got To Experience What Cardinal Nation Is All About. I Really Appreciate That She Stop The Concert For A Short Time So We Could Celebrate Our Win. I Was Looking Forward To This Concert All Summer...

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
London's two-season-old men's week (technically referred to as London Collections: Men) announced another victory today: New York-based Rag & Bone, will be joining the Spring 2014 lineup. Last season, international labels Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen presented their menswear ranges in the city, and this March, Burberry also announced plans to show on its home turf for Spring 2014.
"Rag & Bone, started life in New York, but as English guys, we are delighted to be a part of London Collections: Men," said British-born designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville. "Menswear is what originally put our brand on the map, and our British roots have heavily influenced our aesthetic, so we felt strongly about showing our Spring 2014 collection in our hometown." The third installment of London Collections: Men will kick off on June 16.

Amy Levin: From the 30-year anniversary of the AIDS epidemic, to the Weiner scandal, to the current debate over legality of male circumcision, the public eye is certainly holding its gaze on men's bodies. While religious discourse undoubtedly has a stake in each of these issues, the surgical removal of men's foreskin happens to be of particular religious interest.
According to a Sunday article in The New York Times, the November 2011 ballot in San Francisco will feature a proposal to ban circumcision of all male minors. Violation of the crime would result in a $1,000 fine and up to one-year in jail. The proposal comes from anti-circumcision activists, or "intactivists," and the efforts of a San Diego-based advocacy group called MGMbill.org, which stands for "male genital mutilation." Yes, the name is meant to play off the term "female genital mutilation," and the group argues that men deserve the same protection as women under federal law. Many outspoken advocates of the bill claim that circumcision is a health risk and an "unnecessary medical procedure." However, while anti-circumcision logic posits the practice as body modification, such rhetoric strips the ritual of its religious significance.
And, alas, Jena Troutman, a Santa Monica mother who championed an effort to put the initiative on Santa Monica's November 2012 ballot, got her wake up call. According to a Monday article in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, Troutman withdrew her efforts for the bill because they were, as she claims, misconstrued "as an attack on religious freedom." Misconstrued or not, the banning of male circumcision would criminalize one of the most ancient and fundamental rituals in Judaism, and for as many as 68% of Muslims as well.
