After years of feeding on the energy of bigcities, I escaped and now live in a quiet rainforest retreat, with palms, trees and ferns as my backdrop and no neighbours for almost half a mile. I think so clearly amongst the natural vibe and energy of the forest. The birds love to come and see me and I sometimes have...

Give Me A Quiet Place Anytime.Nothing beats being away from the noise and hustle and bustle of crowds. I'd rather be somewhere quiet, the woods, mountains a gentle meadow. It's like a piece of heaven on earth. Being there with a special person is even better.

I'd have to say my favorite "quiet" place wouldbe one of the few Japanese gardens we have in the city. Mornings are nice. Right when it opens.

How To Make Socks
Learning how to make socks is fun and easy. If you make your own socks, you can customize them by using any fabric you like. You can also choose to vary the length of the socks. Making socks is great because you can make socks that fit you perfectly.
Things you'll need:
- A measuring tape
- Long piece of cardboard
- Pen
- Scissors
- Needle
- Thread
- Fabric that does not fray
- Start by deciding how long you would like your socks to be. Use the measuring tape to measure from the longest toe to the highest point your sock will reach.
- Measure this length on the cardboard and draw a line from the beginning to the end of the measurement. Measure from your toe to your ankle and mark the spot where your ankle hits on the cardboard.
- Measure around your ankle and divide the measurement in half. Measure the halved amount from your ankle mark the length on the cardboard.
- Measure from your toe to your heel and mark this spot on the cardboard as well. If your socks will go above your calves, mark any spots where your leg width fluctuates and measure down from the length line.
- Using the marks of your heel and ankle, draw another line to create a pattern for your sock. Remember to look at the shape of the foot while completing this step to be accurate. Cut out the pattern and fold your chosen fabric in half.
- Thread the needle and tie the ends together. Place your cardboard pattern against the folded edge of the fabric and trace the pattern.
- Cut the fabric. Sew the length of the pattern but do not sew the toes shut.
- Turn the folded fabric so the seem runs up the back of the sock. Sew straight across the toe line.
Learning how to make socks is easy when you get the measurements down. You can make your own personalized socks easily using fabric and a few other tools. Try making socks today. Your feet will thank you.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Elite Traders Group Issues Research Report on: Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ: CCUR), (NASDAQ: ARRS), (NASDAQ: SEAC)
Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ: CCUR) is a leader in video, media data intelligence and real-time Linux® solutions. CCUR doesn't get the glorious headlines that video and communication suppliers get; they just provide support products and services to make those firms look better. Last week CCUR shares started at $6.51/share and ended in trading Monday at $7.75/share, an increase of 19%, on share volume over the average by a factor of ten. Why the sudden interest in CCUR shares? The company released their second quarter (ending 12-31-12) financial results this week and it appears that investors liked what they read.
The comparison between the six months ending 12-31-11 and 12-31-12 showed an increase in revenue of about 8% and a reduction in operating expenses of about 12%. These are not stellar percentages but both are in the right direction and both happened after the company saw revenues slipping in recent quarters.
Investors may also have taken note that the company has no debt, thus no interest expense. How many times do we see tech stock that are appealing, with meteoric revenue growth and short term price per share appreciation, only to look further to see these figures were financed by massive debt or equity obligations that are an impediment to profits and ultimately result in a share price that crashes and burns?
Concurrent has been paying a regular dividend of $.06 (3% based on Friday's closing price) and paid a special $.50 dividend in December (an additional 6.7%). That kind of yield surely triggered some investor yield based search software.
With all that Concurrent has going for it, why has a bottom line profit been elusive? CCUR has annual revenues in the $60-70 million range and they are competing with Arris Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRS) with revenues over $1 billion (figures from FYE 12-31-11) and SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC) with revenues of $189 million (figures from FYE 1-30-12). Arris and SeaChange have larger video providers as customers and do not catch cold if one of their customers sneezes. Economies of scale affect every enterprise and CCUR is the smallest and only operationally unprofitable company amongst the three (a large non-recurring expense caused a 2011 loss). Current Computer has an EBITA of -2%, Arris has an EBITA of 13% and SEAC has an EBITA of .055% (FYE 1-30-12). An enterprise in this industry doesn't need to be the size of Arris to be profitable but the pattern is evident. A company the size of CCUR feels whatever pain their customers feel and cutbacks at some of their customers have impacted revenues and the spending cuts have not gone deep enough.
Concurrent Computer has a lot of positives for investors. They are in a growth industry, selling innovative products and services. Sales are trending up and expenses are trending down. They have no debt and pay a dividend. The price per share has been on a steady incline for six months and didn't skyrocket overnight to its current level.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT organization pondering its infrastructure strategy. How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet of Things implementation? In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems at Red Hat, described how to revolutioniz...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Please see the special considerations for shipping Used & Rare items, including extended delivery times, possible import duties & taxes. Delivered in 3-5 weeks Format: Paperback Publisher: Aspect Condition: The following ISBNs are associated with this title: ISBN - 10: 0446674656 ISBN - 13: 9780446674652 Seller Comments: From the Publisher The frighteningly prolific mystery writer Donald E. Westlake, a.k.a. Richard Stark, ended his legendary series of books about a career criminal known only as Parker with 1974''s Butcher''s Moon. He cited too much competition from copycats in print, on film, and on television. Persuaded by fans and family, Westlake has resurrected Parker with a welcome burst of energy and imagination. The felon and his long-time lady friend Claire are enjoying the quiet life in their New Jersey lakeside home when Parker''s invited to become part of a plan to remove a large sum of cash from a glossy TV-preacher named William Archibald. It''s a heist that goes wrong from the start and turns into a tense, chaotic ballet of betrayal and death. One of Parker''s partners is a weak babbler, another a cold traitor. Archibald''s security chief is a tenacious pursuer, intent on retrieving his employer''s money. Along the way, we learn how to hide crooks, cars, and cash in a small city with an efficient police force; how to escape from a variety of traps and sealed rooms; and most of all how Parker has managed to stay alive--in readers'' minds as well as in the brain of his creator--for all these years.

Best All Around Canon Lens
Recommendations for the best all around (general use) Canon lens that I can pretty much leave on my camera all the time...suggestions? Thanks!
2 Answers
My favorite is my 75-300 and it pretty much lives on my camera.
I recently bought a Canon EFS 18-135mm with image stabilizer that I love! It gives me better range and more flexibility than the 18-55 that came with it and better closeup ability than the 75-300 telephoto I also use. This is the one that is on my camera most of the time now.

Players/Officials: Mahela Jayawardene | Nishantha Ranatunga
Teams: Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka Cricket's executive committee has recommended that the national selection panel be increased to five selectors, including two full-time selectors, when the sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage names a new panel at the end of the month. Sri Lanka's present panel consists of three part-time selectors, with at least one usually accompanying the team for each series.
"We thought [we should] create a greater diversity of opinion, it would be better to increase the number of selectors to five," SLC CEO Ajit Jayasekara said. "At the moment the selectors have their own source of income, and having two full-time selectors should improve the selection process as well."
The new panel will likely be appointed for a period of a year, and one of their initial tasks will be to choose a new captain for the ODI and Test teams, after Mahela Jayawardene's resignation from the post.
Aluthgamage has spoken out in favour of a split captaincy after Sri Lanka's 3-0 loss to Australia in the Test series. Aluthgamage has also expressed desire to build a distinct team for each format, and he may appoint a panel that shares his vision for the team. Under the sports law, the minister must also approve each selection before the team is finalised.
"Whether or not to have a split captaincy is ultimately the selectors decision," SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said.
SLC has forwarded the names of 11 candidates to the minister, from among whom the new selection panel will be appointed. Sri Lanka's sports law dictates that the sports minister must appoint the selection panel.
Current selectors, Ashantha de Mel, Don Anurasiri and Hemantha Wickremeratne are all on the SLC's list, which also includes former players Hashan Tillakaratne and Mahes Goonatilleke.

November games need November prices
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
Phillip Hughes: Country kid who moved a nation (132)
Likeable, hard-working and skilful, it was a matter of time before Phillip Hughes cemented his spot in the Australian Test team. Then, improbably and inconsolably, his time ran out
November games need November prices (85)
An early start to the international season, coupled with costly tickets, have kept the Australian public away from the cricket
The inherent dangers of batting (43)
The sickening blow that struck Phillip Hughes is a reminder of the ever-present dangers associated with facing fast bowlers, even while wearing a helmet
Misbah's Pakistan or Imran's Pakistan? (39)
Pakistan have notched up some fine wins under Misbah-ul-Haq's leadership, but they haven't yet achieved consistent results outside the UAE
Going out to play cricket today would have been near enough to impossible. Even doing so next week in the nets and at the Gabba for the first Test will be difficult

From the moment we walked thru the lobby doors, I was impressed with the cleanliness and feel of this hotel. Denise O. was very professional and made us feel welcome. She went out of her way to rearrange our accomodations to fit our needs. She was very busy with all the customers, yet she was cheerful and pleasant with each one! She even brought us waters.
I really like the nice extra big swimming pool and jacuzzi. The rooms were clean and spacious.
Thank you Denise and thank you Holiday Inn Express.
Very convenient to interstate and many restaurants too.

Bubbling up: Higher incomes and confidence will stimulate a new wave of hot tub purchases
IBISWorld's Hot Tub Manufacturing market research report can be used to help you: understand market size and growth potential; major companies; draft business plans and pitch books; and conduct benchmarking and SWOT analysis. Our industry analysis highlights macro industry trends in the overall sector and micro trends faced by companies that do business in the industry. The industry report also provides key industry statistics and 5-year forecasts to anticipate future industry prospects so you can decide with confidence.
The Hot Tub Manufacturing industry significantly contracted over the past five years. Although the number of higher-income households, this industry's primary market, moderately increased, it was insufficient in preventing a major fall in revenue during the recession. Over the next five years, the industry is projected to return to growth. The recovering economy will bolster disposable income and consumer confidence, stimulating a new wave of hot tub purchases.... purchase to read more
The Hot Tub Manufacturing industry has seen better days. Consumer disposable income and confidence in the economy deteriorated during the recession, causing demand for hot tubs to sharply decline. Growing plastic and raw material costs also cut into profit margins, making it difficult for smaller manufacturers to survive. On the other hand, the number of higher income households steadily increased, partly bolstering demand for hot tubs. Nonetheless, revenue has fallen considerably since the housing market collapse and remains below precession levels. On average, revenue has declined 9.3% per year over the past five years. In 2013, IBISWorld estimates industry revenue to total $982.6 million... purchase to read more
This industry comprises companies that manufacture hot tubs and spas. A hot tub is a large tub or small pool, usually made from plastic or fiberglass, full of heated water and used for soaking, relaxation, massages or hydrotherapy. In most cases, they have jets for massage purposes.

Rumor & Innuendo
Call him Tubby $$$$mith. I'm advised UK's beleaguered mentor was approached by a friend, an assistant coach of a recent opponent. The fellow asked Tubby if he might actually consider leaving after the season in light of the fusillade of criticism from disgruntled Wildcat Nation citizens. Purportedly he responded, "If they come up with $9 million, they can get rid of me." Ah yes, that darn buyout!
McKibben's America
"The modern radio industry is utterly focused on you. It's entirely set up around the idea that you are a part of a predictable demographic whose tastes can be reliably commodified as alternative country or classic rock; the whole premise of talk radio is that you can go all day without hearing an opinion you disagree with — Rush Limbaugh's fans, after all, call themselves dittoheads. What could be more efficient than that?" —Bill McKibben, from "Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future."
Rumor & Innuendo: The Electric Cardinal-Colored Snow-Flake Wauwatosa Missile Launch.
Like Lazarus before them, U of L's improbable, unforeseeable resurrection continued last Saturday night. Nothing helps the faithful sleep better than dreams of smarmy Tom Crean, the smirk wiped from his face, stewing in his own bile. Card fans leapt joyously from their barcoloungers when Jerry Smith powerchorded string music, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A dance card for the Cards within grasp, the chilly winter's night warmed.

But the group behind the museum has proclaimed it a survivor. They just need the cash to prove it.
City Strobe
Putting the one in every 1Last week, the James Graham Brown Foundation got out its fat wallet and ponied up a sweet $1 million to support the local literacy program "Every 1 Reads." Every 1 Reads trains volunteer tutors from the community to spend a half hour per week reading with Jefferson County Public School students. The program hopes to train 10,000 volunteers to tutor kids who read below their grade level, plus 2,000 more volunteers to work with high school students, in the hopes that all of the district's 97,000 students will read at grade level and, one hopes, stop that annoying instant-messaging trend of spelling words with numerals. You know, like in "Every 1 Reads."
How green is the city's fleet?
This week we're feeling green, and it's not that stomach virus that's going around (thanks for asking). By coincidence, Stephen George's cover story on page 12 takes the measure of just how green the city's vehicle fleet is (not as green as Lexington, it turns out). George also checks in with author Bill McKibben, who's been talking about global warming for almost two decades. McKibben, who appears at the Kentucky Author Forum next week, says it all comes down to thinking locally. That's actually an encouraging message.

Henry, Trouble still close personal friendsDemocratic gubernatorial candidate Steve Henry is no stranger to controversy. The former lieutenant governor to sex-scandal-plagued Paul Patton had to pay the federal government $162,000 in 2003 to settle a lawsuit claiming he'd fraudulently billed the government for Medicare and Medicaid payments while working at the University of Louisville.
A Half-Cocked love story: Indie film about Louisville's days as a 'music mecca' is revived
The Louisville music scene has been the subject of much intense discussion, thanks in no small part to our indie rock scene of the early- to mid-'90s (honk if you recall the Playboy mag "music mecca" hoopla). You may not realize that period was, so to speak, captured on film by Michael Galinsky, who enlisted real Louisville musicians to portray a fictional band that steals a van and goes on the road. As Stephen George's cover essay illustrates, the film "Half-Cocked" ultimately plays like a love letter to Louisville. —Cary Stemle
Rumor & Innuendo
Still Myles to go. Maybe that Ellis Myles fella is more capable of legerdemain — that's magic to you without a thesaurus — than I thought. As a bunch of you pointed out to me at last Saturday's game, my sources and I were wrong about Derrick Caracter's future as a U of L Cardinal. He played. He played well. And he showed why The Rick is giving him such a long leash. If DC and Coach get on the same page, the pivotman could become a playah Cards fans long remember and revere. But remember ye red and black faithful, one game against a schlepper squad like USF does not a career make. Knights Report. Once again I'm hearing what many along Norris Place have been contemplating for a while. Bellarmine is about to start the climb to Division I status in hoops. One school administrator advised it's a seven-year process.Cost of success. U of L raised season football ticket prices. A lot of ticket holders are wondering how much worse the increased tariff would have been if the Cards' home schedule next season wasn't padded with Murray State and Middle Tennessee?Bane of the bayou. A bunch of LSU fans have been none too happy for a while with the coaching prowess of John Brady. They were quieted by last season's run to the Final Four. Now they're baaaaack. I'm hearing that unless he rights the ship the rest of this year, next season will be his last without another serious post-season run.Reggie in a down coat? Up Minnesooooooota way the Golden Gopher faithful want their next hoops coach to be alumnus Flip Saunders, now with the Pistons. The buzz is that the second, and more likely, choice is former Card assistant, natty Reggie Theus.Good move Rex.In Chicagoland, Rex Grossman is the new Steve Bartman. Several wags suggested he not go home for a while. Smart guy, Rex. One Internet site reports Da Bears QB was spotted at the Vegas Playboy Club in the company of bunnies, Michelle, Cerra and April.
All praise the dung beetle: Science Center's 'Grossology' exhibit offers a new spin on slime, blood and poo
Sylvia Branzei: finds the common housefly the most disgusting creature on the planet.Sylvia Branzei's favorite insect is the dung beetle — and not because it so magnanimously cleans up the world's shit, but for its ability to complete a task. "They're so agile, determined and persistent," the former science teacher says as she explains how it can take days for one beetle to collect a ball of feces and roll it to a desired location to become a nursery. "They just don't get the appreciation they should."
