Food Yogurt's Progress
Updated: October 2, 2012 10:56AM
Q. I hear competing claims for yogurt. Which one is actually best?
A. Deciding whether a food is healthful can be really difficult, especially when food companies market their products in such clever ways. It's hard to decide between foods with healthful components. For this food fight we'll explore regular and Greek-style yogurt.
Greek-style yogurt contains less water than regular varieties. This creates yogurt with tangier flavor and thicker consistency; this also affects the nutrition facts. One cup of non-fat plain Greek yogurt has 80 calories and 13 grams of protein. The calcium and vitamin D content of all yogurts will vary from brand to brand.
Any flavored yogurt will have added sweeteners.
The same 1 cup portion of nonfat plain regular yogurt has 107 calories and only 10 grams of protein. Flavored regular yogurts typically also rank higher in the added-sugar department. The good news is, whether it's Greek or regular, both offer tummy-pleasing probiotics.
There certainly are a lot more choices of regular yogurt on supermarket shelves, and with that variety comes a lot of junk. Many of the regular yogurt brands contain thickeners, stabilizers, processed sweeteners and artificial colorings. The super-low-cal yogurts are the worst culprits because they are also full of artificial sweeteners.

The correct and best way to wear perfume: put it on the warmer zones of your body: breast, neck, shoulders, ears. Stay out from the metals like jewelry and accessories, it makes the perfume and scent so acid. Put some on the hair, on the ends if is long and on the roots if its short. Take care of your perfume bottle for a long lasting scent conservation, the light and hot damage the scent. you will smell great for more time and you'll take the most from all the notes of your perfume!Beauty tips av marie g.
Since your sense of smell is not as sharp in the winter as it is in the summer -heat increases the impact of a scent - choose a winter fragrance from categories such as the chypre scents, which tend toward the woody and mossy aromas like pine (ahh that great smell of a Christmas tree!). Bid adieu to the light, fruity and floral scents that are perfect for the warmer months, and welcome the heavier, spicier scents that harmonize with the cooler days and nights.Beauty tips av Audrey R.

Lip gloss tip: before you put on lip gloss, wet tooth brush and gentley brush lips so that dead skin gets off so that your lipgloss wont be clumpy!! =)Beauty tips av Laura
I live by two philosophies;1."you're as young as you feel,"and 2."you're never too old to learn." Also,if possible,avoid toxic people or family members and stay away from depressing news,music,movies etc. They are mentally draining and leave you feeling like life's a heavy burden.Beauty tips av Melanie
We all know about layering our fragrances. How about layering our lipsticks. Try creating different shades by blending mattes and glosses. If a single shade doesn't work, no need to throw it out, combine it with others to create a better shade for you!Beauty tips av Samone
Heres a quick candle tip or two--put your votives in the freezer -- they will last twice as long and won't drip. For candle in glass, when they are down to their last inch, pop that in the freezer too. Then, you can take a fork to it and the wax pops right out. Add glamour and warmth to your home with the warm golden glow of candles. Candlelight can be used to softly lighten a dark space, provide romance, decorate a table and hearth. They are also great for lining the tub. Please enjoy your candles BUT keep safety in mind!Beauty tips av Dianna S.

Top Local Tips for Yokohama
Yamate: "Old" Yokohama Foreigners started settling in the Yamate area of Yokohama at the end of the Edo period. Here you can visit many houses of historical interest, many of which were built in the 1920s. There is a Catholic church (called, simply, the Catholic Yamate church) and a foreigners' cemetary (called, even more simply, Foreigners' Cemetary - I'm not joking). It makes a lovely afternoon, but can be a bit tiring in the humid heat of a Japanese summer (e.g. July and August).
Use Volunteer Guides to maximize your sightseeing experience! Use JNTO (http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/arrange/essential/guideservice.html#volunteer) to connect with students and others who serve as local guides of major tourist areas. Note - You are expected to pay for the volunteers' transportation, lunch, and admission costs. You get much more out of the sights with someone who knows the area and the language!
Yokohama Trip Its one of the best place to stay in Tokyo which is already crumpled and high cost. This place offer some of the best accomodation and also is welll connected to the down town Tokyo. On the week end you may plan a trip to Kamakura or near by gardens.

Bra-making Class, Bra Size, by Pauline from Australia
Now if you are not sure about something, please ask. If you don't want to ask because you think it's too dumb, then Contact the instructor . The only dumb question is the one you don't ask!!! I can also post pictures of any notions you are not sure about.
This page will get you started. Print this out and keep it somewhere so you've got any easy reference!
Firstly, BEFORE you buy the pattern, make sure you have had your measurements taken correctly. Most of you won't be the size you think you are!!!
Measurement Instructions:
Now about these measurements, you need 3, and you must have someone else do it. The reason someone else needs to do it is when you bring your arms up to take the measurement it alters the measurement, but these need to be accurate for a good fit.
Also, use our handy MS/Excel spreadsheet: BraSizeFinder (right-click the link, and select "Save File As" to download it for your use). Enter your measurements into this spreadsheet, and your size will be calculated based on these measurements. If your computer will not process this spreadsheet correctly, the rest of this page tells you how to compute your size.
Put your best-fitting bra on and adjust so your boobs aren't sitting down on your waist or under your chin!!!!
1. Keep tape parallel to floor around your back. Measure the under bust, snugly and no "bit extra" and do not pull it too tight .Write it down. Enter this number as "under" in the chart.
2. Full bust is measured same as above, around the fullest part of the bust. Enter this number as "around" in the chart.
3. Upper bust is where the breast starts to come out from the ribs in a gentle slope. Enter this number as "over" in the chart.
Got it all. This is how we work out our size. You may or may not be the bra size you are wearing. 80% of women wear the wrong size. Most of you'll just prove this!!!!LOL
Band size - add 4" to your underbust measurement to give what size band you'll be wearing. e.g., if you measure 36" add 4"= 40". If you measure an odd number or a fraction go up to the nearest WHOLE, EVEN number. eg.: if you measure 33 1/2", add 4"= 37 1/2", then round UP to 38". The 4" is for ease, otherwise you'd think you were in a vise!!! I know most of you feel that way now.
Subtract your upper bust from the full bust to give cup size. Every 1" of difference represents a cup size. If you are less than 1'', it becomes AA cup. eg FB 42''- UB 38''=4'' difference. Makes it A,B,C,D- the D's have it-Should be easy enough! Just keep going down the alphabet for cup size if you are more than 4" difference.
Pattern SizesThe patterns that will be the easiest to work from are Kwik-Sew 1017 for smaller sizes and 1018 for mid range sizes. These two patterns are exactly the same but only contain a range of sizes. Then for our more womanly gals, Kwik-Sew 2374, which is slightly different, but I think I can manage the slight variations in the one class. Now, I'm sorry if you are out of these size ranges, BUT I suggest you make a bra for someone else to get the gist of how to do it and then we'll work on resizing. I can't do that as well for this class. This is supposed to be basic bra making, but that is more advanced stuff and much more individualized (see classes 2 and 3). These patterns are all what is known as a "framed bra" and are without an underwire. Kwik-Sew 2374 could have a wire put in it if you like.
On to Pattern List ...

25 Things You Didn't Know About Halloween
Posted by David Pegg on October 22, 2012
Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.
In case you were wondering, Samhain is actually an ancient Celtic celebration during which people would dress up as ghouls and spirits in order to escape the notice of what they thought were real spirits wandering the streets.
Samhain wasn't the only ancient festival to influence modern day Halloween. Pomona, an ancient Roman festival had a strong influence as well, especially with events like bobbing for apples.
Numerous Names
Halloween has been called a number of things throughout the years including All Hallow's Eve, Lamswool, Samhain, Summer's End, and Snap-Apple Night.
Hallowe 'en
The modern name of "Halloween" derives from "Hallowe 'en", a contraction of the phrase All Hallows' Eve.
Trick or treating comes from an ancient Celtic tradition where people would put out treats to appease wandering spirits during the festival of Samhain.
An Owl's Call
Owls are popular halloween images. In medeival europe they were thought to be witches and hearing an owl's call meant death was near.
Jack's Lantern
According to Irish legend Jack O'Lanterns get their name from a stingy man known as Jack who after trying to trick the devil several times was denied entrance into both heaven and hell. Since then he has been condemned to wander the Earth waving his lantern to lead people from their paths.
"Souling" could be considered the medeival equivelant of trick or treating. Every November 1 on Hallowmas the poor would go from door to door offering prayers on behalf of the dead in exchange from soul cakes.
Irish Roots
Although Halloween has certainly been influence by numerous ancient holidays and festivals, Ireland is widely considered to the be its birthplace.
Fire Cats
Cats hold a prominent place in Halloween folklore and during the ancient celebration of Samhain Druids supposedly through them onto fires in wicker cages as part of their divination proceedings.
Fire Sheets
According to tradition Scottish girls believed that if they hung wet sheets in front of the fire on Halloween they would see images of their future husband.
Days of the Dead
In Mexico, rather than celebrating Halloween they celebrate the Days of the Dead on November 1st and 2nd during which all the townspeople dress up as ghouls and parade through the streets.
Ten Chieh
In China people celebrate Teng Chieh, or the Lantern Festival. Lanterns in the shape of dragons are hung around town in order to lead spirits back to their earthly dwellings.
Capital Confusion
Salem, Massachusetts and Anoka, Minnesota are both the self-proclaimed Halloween capitals of the world.

Ventricular septal defect is a congenital defect of the heart, that occurs as an abnormal opening in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles. Ventricular septal defect may also be associated with other heart defects. Many small defects will close on their own. For those defects that do not spontaneously close, the outcome is good with surgical repair.

Enigmatic, colourful, but always compelling, Kimi Raikkonen will return to Ferrari in 2014 as he seeks to cap his F1 comeback with a second World Championship title.
After a two-year sabbatical away from the unrelenting world of F1 in the World Rally Championship, Raikkonen's decision to return to single-seaters two years ago with Lotus was accompanied by a plethora of questions over his motivation levels after apparently falling out of love with the sport at the end of 2009.
But in characteristic Kimi style he answered those doubters, not with cliched soundbites in the paddock, but with consistently impressive results on track - a 2012 season which culminated in a 19th career win, third place in the Drivers' Championship, and the immortal "I know what I'm doing" retort to his race engineer as he triumphed in Abu Dhabi.
Another victory in the 2013 season opener at Australia followed to confirm Raikkonen's return to the top table of F1. But the year was ultimately marked by a severe and irreparable deterioration in his relationship with Lotus as the Finn revealed that he hadn't been "paid a euro" during the course of the campaign.
In September, his patience seemingly extinguished, Raikkonen announced that he would be returning to Ferrari as team-mate to Fernando Alonso. Their all-champion head-to-head contest is expected to be the duel of 2014.
What a contrast to 2001 when Raikkonen's arrival on the F1 scene was greeted with considerable skepticism and, in some quarters at least, alarm. The youngster had competed in just 23 car races when offered a deal by Sauber and his inexperience left other drivers wary of accepting someone with so few miles under his belt. Raikkonen proved his critics wrong.
His debut season with the midfield Swiss team was sensational, the youngster proving within just a handful of races that he was a special talent.
By the time Kimi's World Champion countryman Mika Hakkinen told Ron Dennis that he was thinking of taking a sabbatical in 2002, the race was on to sign the younger Finn - a race won by McLaren.
He finished the 2002 season in sixth place but began 2003 in dominant fashion, taking the chequered flag for a maiden win in Malaysia and the early points lead, despite having to race with a development version of the previous year's McLaren. The championship fight went to the wire in Japan, but a win for Rubens Barrichello guaranteed another title for Ferrari team-mate Michael Schumacher.
Hopes were high that Kimi could go one better in 2004 but McLaren endured a disappointing season while, in 2005, despite seven wins and an additional five podium finishes, the Finn had to settle for second place behind Fernando Alonso in the drivers' battle as reliability woes struck.
A winless 2006 followed for McLaren and at the end of the season Raikkonen had defected to great rivals Ferrari, the team having pinpointed him as the retiring Schumacher's successor.
He won on his debut in red in Australia but it wasn't until the summer that what had been a badly faltering title bid gained serious traction and Raikkonen seriously took the fight to in-fighting McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Alonso.
Despite being 17 points behind with only 20 to play for, the Finn somehow won the title against the odds with back-to-back wins in China and Brazil, thus finally becoming World Champion.
Many expected him to go on to further successes with Ferrari but in 2008 he played second fiddle to Felipe Massa and then in 2009, amid a disappointing season in general for Ferrari, he claimed just one race victory, in Belgium, and four additional podium finishes.
Nevertheless, it still came as a shock to many when Ferrari announced that they would part ways with Raikkonen by mutual agreement for 2010, the Finn paid off for the final year of his deal to make way for the incoming Alonso.
Despite talks over a return to McLaren, Raikkonen opted to turn his back on F1 and headed to rallying - a sojourn in which he experienced mixed success.
After on-off speculation that he would eventually come back to F1, Lotus announced at the end of 2011 that he would drive for them the following season, with Raikkonen quickly insisting that he was fully motivated for a return.
He proved as good as his word with the Finn scoring points in all but one of the season's 20 races and, after several near misses, a comeback race victory was finally achieved in Abu Dhabi - although arguably the most memorable aspect of Raikkonen's race was his increasingly agitated radio messages to his race engineer when given instructions!
Once again hailed as a top-tier driver, the success of Raikkonen's comeback was made official when Ferrari opted to re-hire Kimi as a replacement for the outgoing Massa.
Expect fireworks in 2014: the Iceman is well and truly back.

PLUGG Radio Asks You to Shove a Cork in It

If you've ever been asked to shut up, you probably are familiar with the phrase "stick/shove/stuff/put a cork in it." Now there's a radio concept which wants you to do just that.
Designed by Skrekkøgle, the PLUGG radio is a basic digital radio with one unique feature – it's turned off by shoving a cork into it, and removing the cork turns it on.
I assume you'll still need to use normal controls for changing volume or stations, but the cork power switch is pretty clever. That is, until you lose the cork.

It would be seven years before Vaughn finally caught the public's eye with his role in Swingers (1996), a film written by his friend and fellow actor Jon Favreau and inspired by their own real-life adventures. Soon after, Steven Spielberg cast him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
After some disappointing turns, Vaughn took a couple of years off from acting before returning with a string of hits, including Old School (2003), Starsky & Hutch (in which he played the villain), Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (with Ben Stiller) and Wedding Crashers.

Loyalty to one club is rare amongst today's English Premier League footballers.Money and the opportunity of winning trophies usually controls where the world's top players will end up. Welshmen Ryan Giggs has played out his career at Manchester United but with Alex Ferguson at the helm it would have been foolish of him to move anywhere else.
However, one of England's hottest young talents has made the brave move of pledging his future to just one club – and not one that is guaranteed the success of Manchester United.
He is still only a teenager, but England midfielder Jack Wilshere has assured Arsenal fans of his commitment by saying he never wants to leave the north London club.
This is despite Arsenal being trophyless for the last six seasons.
Gunner be aroundWilshere, 19, has been with the Gunners since he was nine years old and began to establish himself in the first team at the start of last season after a successful loan spell at Bolton Wanderers in the second half of the 2009-10 season.
Although he is currently sidelined until at least January or February following major ankle surgery, Wilshere has promised his future to the club.
"Can I promise I will be at Arsenal for ever? I can promise that, yes," he told reporters.
"But now there's a crop of new players, Aaron Ramsey, myself, Kieran Gibbs, hopefully we can really create something special. I love the club and I want to be part of its future"
Jack Wilshere
"I've been at the club since I was nine and I've learned to love it. From the Patrick Vieira days, to Dennis Bergkamp, Cesc Fabregas, I've watched them come through and move on.
"But now there's a crop of new players, Aaron Ramsey, myself, Kieran Gibbs, hopefully we can really create something special. I love the club and I want to be part of its future."Arsenal have recovered after a poor start to the season and have climbed to seventh in the Premier League table after winning their last four league matches since a 2-1 defeat at arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur on October 2.
The news will be a welcome relief for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger who waved goodbye to talented playmakers Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas at the start of the season.

Norwegian Gem Cruise Review by Robin Archibald: The GEM does sparkle!

The GEM does sparkle!
Having last year had a great time on Navigator of the Seas, we approached our NCL cruise with doubts that it could possibly be as good, however, we think that our NCL experience just edged it!
The Gem is a great ship, although does n't have the wow factor of the much bigger Navigator. The advantage is that there are 1500 less people, this does n't mean that the Gem's sun decks don't get crowded on sea days though. The ship is kept immaculate and therefore everything looks like new. The NCL staff were good, they always tried to help with a smile but were not intrusive and as a result things felt comfortable for guests.
Dining is different on NCL, you have dinner whenever you like. This worked for us really well. The food in the speciality restaurants was excellent, although you have to pay up to $25pp for the experience, but with high quality ingredients - lobster, oysters, filet steak, it was well worth it. Even the British style fish and chips was excellent More
There was a lot of tendering on our cruise, which was handled efficiently, although some guests had to wait a while to get off the ship at Santorini, Corfu and Mykonos. The entertainment on board was really good too.
The showtimes were great, guest entertainers got standing ovations, the NCL singers and dancers were good too, particularly the on ship band Kenosis, who looked like they were always enjoying themselves. The cabin was comfortable and had the advantage of free room service whenever you wanted which was great. We would definitely recommend NCL, great ship, staff positive, food in speciality restaurants excellent and there is lots to do on board. Less

"Lovely surprise"
I picked the book it not quite sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by the story line, which was not over-dramatic, though the story itself is a happily-ever-after modern-day love story. I liked the lovely moments and suspense created: just the right amount, i thought. The narration could have gone better, luckily the story's turns make up for the mediocre narration.
The characters were appealing. The main character, Kelly, is a 42-year single mom\romance author, is portrayed at first as the confident professional woman, who turns to mush by the adoring looks of the model man. The model man, Derek, develops as the story progresses, from a play boy to a loving man.
"Intuition and the Mystical Life"
I was reluctant to get the book due to the somewhat negative reviews, but my passion to hear the two ladies over took, and I regret NOT buying the book. In fact, for me it was perfect timing. The two ladies are awesome, they have beautiful poetry going back and forth between them while they talked about women intuition. I absolutely love this material. Already listened to it, three times in fact. I recommend it. And I think the presentation transcends nationality and religion, as it speaks to the soul as well as the mind.
"An Absolute Gem"
I can't say enough good things about this book. It gives you the framework of healing, and the actual how-to that one needs to do on their path towards healing. One should always be wary that healing does not mean that the scars will go. Those scars need to be embraced and transcended. Never identified with as defining who we are. For me it is about how you make those scars work for you. This is not a one-time listen. It is a process, no doubt. One needs to be patient. But one that is worth it.
The authors are amazing. Personally i can't be but bias to Caroline no matter how she may sound.
Mr. Finley has such pleasant delivery, and heart-touching story. He maintains the generous and kind tone while sharing despite his painful experience. I felt pain for him, and all those who suffer such wounds. But for some reason, the pain i felt was not the type to cause me to curse humanity, but rather the sort that will open the heart and bring its kindness towards others.
"A Bit Tough, But Worth It"
This one was a tough program to comprehend. I'm reading the four books of the Diamond Approach. Along with this program they are very interesting. But by no means an easy read. The ideas Almaas talks about are new to me, i found some ideas difficult to grasp. He talks about essences, and how each has a taste and color. I love this concept. I especially enjoyed the last part of the program. The program calls for self observation, and awareness. I don't think it is possible to get the best benefit out of it just by reading. One needs to deeply look into her self to begin to understand the concepts Almaas is presenting.
"What a great listen!"
I have to say, i'm a Caroline Myss' addict. Can't have enough of her books, and i'm constantly listening over and over again to her audios. I can't have enough of learning about mystical laws, and especially from people, like Myss who respect other cultures and religions. Her language may seem a bit strong for many, but the Truths she tells are food for thought and spirit. Love this program. Love Myss.
"Could have been a better book"
if it did not have many repeated sections. The repetition really broke the flow of the material, rendering this book annoying, instead of elating.
"One of the Best Books on the Subject"
The Willpower Instinct is probably the best book i've read that really defines such things as chocolate cravings, and giving up on a diet, or project or even a relationship. It brings the science behind what makes us give up in an easy-to grasp manner. The suggestions in the book are easy to follow through, even for those who lack motivation, except that of overcoming giving up on things. The keyword however that i can use to summarize this whole excellent book is "awareness". Just be aware of yourself, and bring back your awareness to your every task, and even every breath, and you have secured yourself the willpower you need to overcome your challenges. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
"A different taste from what i usually "read""
It is Romeo and Juliet meeting As You Like It, with elements of Hogwarts and Dumbeldor, tossed in beautiful language and expression. I enjoyed it.
"Did not lose weight"
I did not lose weight [sad], but i enjoyed listening to this program and will continue listening to it. I will share that i reduced my chocolate intake, and i drink water more often. It could be the summer season, but i never was a great water-drinker before. The music and narration are engaging.
"Not a one-time lister"
This audio is a jewel. Every time i replay it i find a new takeaway from the enlightened advice of Myss. She handles the topic of self esteem with such ability, that it is impossible not to follow her advice instantly. I have to highlight that her advice transcends nationality, background and religion. I can easily relate to what she describes. I especially loved the fact that she insists that self esteem is a verb. One difficult verb to commit to, i have to add. But oh-so worth it.

Refugees, Orphans, Assassinations, and Nuclear Ambitions
For decades the Burmese dictatorship, ironically called the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), has been carrying out scorched earth policies that have seen Karen and other ethnic minority villages burned to the ground and the rape and murder of their civilian population.
This ethnic cleansing inflicted upon its tribal populations has crowned Burma one of the world's most repressive regimes. Today up to a million people are internally displaced in Burma itself, with several hundred thousand refugees scattered on the Thai border.
The Karen National Union (KNU), the largest Karen organization, has only 8,000 troops and 2,000 militia to fend off the brutal SPDC army that fields some 200,000 soldiers. In truly a David and Goliath struggle, the KNU's armed forces, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), have gallantly staved off defeat for 60 years with little or no outside support. The SPDC, with its numerical advantage and weaponry from China, Russia and North Korea, has ensured a never-ending war against the Karen. To make matters worse, the SPDC has manipulated a Buddhist Karen faction to attack their own, pitting Karens against each other in a civil war within a civil war.
In January 2009 I traveled to the region with an associate who had been involved in humanitarian work with the Karen for the past 30 years (he requested anonymity).
Mae La Refugee Camp – 33,000-Plus Refugees
We arrived by bus in the Thai border town of Mae Sot, described by locals as "little Burma," hence the large number of ethnic Burmese in the region. It was a short drive north that we encountered Mae La refugee camp, which officially held some 33,000 refugees. The camp straddled the Moei River, and we drove past miles of barbed wire fences and Thai checkpoints. The Thais, in a politically sensitive move, have implemented a containment policy of sealing off the influx of refugees from Burma. A stone's throw away on the opposite bank of Mae La was the disputed war zone, Myanmar or Burma to the SPDC, or "The Karen State" to the Karens.
Avoiding Thai security, we pulled off to the side of the road and walked amid the hundreds of crowded huts built on stilts with roofs of woven leaves and bamboo. While visibly poor and dependent on foreign aid, an orderly society had evolved in the camp. The alleyways were clean and market stalls traded in daily necessities. Shed-like classrooms schooled thousands of children.
Karens, a predominantly Christian people, passed us wearing crosses. It was Baptist missionaries over a hundred years ago who first introduced them to Christianity. We also saw a small Mosque and met Muslim Rohingyas. The Thai authorities spotted us chatting to refugees and a half dozen uniformed police promptly escorted us out of the camp, threatening us not to return.
60 Years of Struggle – Anniversary Celebrations
31 January, 1949, the Karens fought their first battle for independence.
We were told the SPDC would not be attacking the celebration. As we bundled out of our pickup we heard the patter of motors ferrying Karens by longboat across the river to Kawtoolei, the Karen word for their country. We boarded a longboat and on the other side approach - ed the checkpoint where KNLA soldiers, both male and female, stood guard. A Soviet Goryunov machine gun with belts of 7.62 mm bullets peered menacingly over sandbags.
By nightfall thousands of Karens had arrived at the jungle camp, while soldiers with squawking radios patrolled the perimeter armed with shoulder-fired antitank rocket launchers (RPGs) and automatic weapons. Most of the soldiers carried variants of the US M-16. Others carried older looking Soviet Bloc weapons captured from SPDC troops. In the morning hundreds of KNLA soldiers marched out of the mist toward the parade ground singing a Karen anthem.
One commander described how he had fought against the Burmese military for over forty years. He had been wounded several times and could remember British and Japanese soldiers occupying his country during WWII.
4,000 Trapped Refugees
Arrangements were made a few days later to smuggle me to a "restricted" refugee camp in the Karen State. These camps were politically sensitive as they had become a bottleneck of trapped refugees, with the SPDC on one side and the Thai Army on the other. We crossed the river in the dead of night by longboat and as we chugged along, I covered myself with a sarong as we passed a Thai Army outpost on the riverbank. Upon arrival in Karen State we were greeted by the camp's leader. He told me his camp had over 4,000 refugees.
Hut after hut the stories were the same—of shootings, relatives tortured and killed, and villages burned. I was introduced to a woman who spoke English and she told me of rapes committed by the SPDC where Karen girls were abducted and murdered. She told me of one case she personally knew, where a young Karen girl was murdered by SPDC soldiers in 2003.
I met a legless landmine victim, a child with a bullet-riddled arm, a man blinded in one eye when his village was attacked. He also had several gunshot wounds in his shoulder and back. An old woman hobbled over to me and showed me a bullet wound in her thigh. She described how her village was destroyed by the SPDC a year ago in 2008. She couldn't escape, and so they had shot her.
Of the 4,134 refugees in the camp, over 1,200 were children. The camp leader, who spoke excellent English, said they received only rice and salt from outside aid organizations. He described how the SPDC mined their villages and "burned every thing" so they could not return. The camp leader had been a soldier with the KNLA for 35 years and he laughed as he told me he was now "retired" from the army. At nightfall my guides took me downriver and we faded back into the Thai jungle.
The Assassination of Manh Sha by SPDC Agents
In Mae Sot, arrangements were made to meet with David Tharkabaw again. Our contacts warned that the SPDC had spies operating throughout the area and reminded us it that it was a year ago, on 14 February, 2008, that a top KNU leader had been assassinated right here in Mae Sot. Assassins had burst into the home of Manh Sha, a hardline SPDC opponent, and gunned him down in cold blood.
The murderers were never caught, but everyone we spoke to said the killers were SPDC proxies acting on orders from the Burmese regime. In 1994 the SPDC had in fact organized a breakaway faction of the KNU to defect. By exploiting religious sentiments, the SPDC convinced some Karen Buddhists to take up arms against the mainly Christian KNU. Thus the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) was born, willing to kill for the SPDC.
Manh Sha himself was a Buddhist who strongly supported the KNU; thus it was no surprise to see the SPDC's 'divide and conquer' strategy behind his murder. Reports indicated the DKBA has around 2,000 soldiers with about 1000 or so civilians, while the KNU fielded some 8,000 troops and 2,000 militia and had wide support among the estimated 7 million strong Karen population. For what they lacked in arms and equipment, the KNU reportedly made up in spirit. Unlike the DKBA, KNLA soldiers received no pay and fought solely for the Karen cause. The
DKBA accepted money and the latest weapons from the SPDC and proved themselves willing to kill other Karen in both assassinations and military operations. Further, the DKBA has dabbled in the illicit drug trade and it is noted that the U.S. Congressional Research Service has identified the DKBA as having criminal networks involved in transnational crime. The KNU, on the other hand, has a large number of Christians in its ranks and avoids involvement in the illicit drug trade.
Inside Scoop—How the Racist Regime Perpetuates War
A car collected us and took us to an undisclosed location where David Tharkabaw greeted us warmly. "We only have 8,000 active soldiers and the SPDC has some 200,000 troops." He also described how weapons from China and
Russia gave the SPDC an advantage, but stated clearly the Karen could not be defeated.
Tharkabaw was worried for the future and stated how some European countries were pushing the KNU into laying down arms and dealing with the SPDC. He cited how the Kachins in 1992 had similarly entered into a cease fire with the Burmese regime, encouraged by an internal nongovernmental organ ization and a "church-based organization." The Burmese regime reneged on the agreement, however, and the Kachins have since lost almost all their lands and resources to the SPDC.
Indeed, it was in 1992 that Burmese General Ket Sein publicly declared "In 10 years all the Karen will be dead. If you want to see a Karen you will have to go to a museum in Rangoon." A threat of genocide if I ever heard one, and Tharkabaw described how the SPDC retains a mafia-like control over the country's business interests. Natural gas, mining, logging—all enterprises the SPDC controls at the expense of the ethnic minorities. Tharkabaw stated that all the ethnic minorities—the Karen, Karenni, Shan, Chin, Kachin, Mon, Wa—and the ethnic Burmese as well suffer under the SPDC.
Burma's Nuclear Ambitions and Reports of CIA Drones
I tracked down a long time Burma activist in Thailand, Roland Watson of Dictatorwatch, who reported how he spoke to KNU soldiers who had intercepted SPDC communications describing attempts to shoot down unmanned drones. The drones, allegedly CIA-operated, were flying over Burmese military bases. Indeed, nukes in Burma were a real issue; the SPDC first announced that Russia was supplying them with a nuclear reactor in 2001. More recently there have been chilling allegations of SPDC collaboration with North Korea and Iran. Watson stated the drone reports were highly reliable and pointed out the U.S. State Department was currently overdue in publishing its mandatory report on Burma's nuclear ambitions as required under U.S. legislation, "The JADE Act."
An Abandoned Crisis and Forgotten War
The United Nations appears paralysed on the issue. In 2007, a UN Security Council Resolution condemning Burma's human rights record was scuttled by Russia, China and South Africa, all regimes supporting the SPDC. On 19 February, 2009, the KNU issued a statement expressing disappointment with UN Special Envoy to Burma, Ibrahim Gambari, stating he had "sidelined" the ethnic minorities and had "failed to secure any tangible progress."
During the month of March 2009, the KNU reported 107 military clashes between their troops and the SPDC. The SPDC incurred 77 KIA and 120 wounded. with only one KNLA soldier KIA and 5 others wounded. The kill ratio was 1 to 77 in favour of the Karen. Every year the SPDC launches another dry season offensive, bolstered by unlimited draftees conscripted from their repressed population. The KNU reports the SPDC inflates its actual troop strength and, while claiming 500,000 troops, in reality they have only half that number—some 200,000 troops. Further, the SPDC is plagued with poor morale and high desertion rates.
The war rumbles on, however, and it was in a school in Mae Sot that I met some 30 child orphans who, while cared for now, must have suffered terribly. I purposely wore dark glasses and with a mixture of grief and guilt I asked them the question. Some had lost their parents from Cyclone Nargis; others were abandoned in the course of war, and some had their parents killed by the SPDC. Two girls aged 8 or 10 years old told me how their parents had disappeared when the SPDC attacked their village.

Weapons Used in Violent Crimes
FBI Statistical Conclusions: 87.3% of very serious rape, robbery and assault during this ten year period had NOTHING whatsoever to do with firearms. If there were NO FIREARMS available to criminals, common sense tells us that most of the 12.7% that does involve firearms would shift over to knives or other non-firearm weapons with no real change in the number of victims. Common sense and real world experience also tells us that if criminals never had to worry about their intended victims being armed because of firearms bans, the rates of rape, robbery and assault would be much higher, as they are in gun-ban cities.

Every $25 deposited into your account, up to $250 per month, is another chance to win. You may make unlimited deposits of any amount into the account each month, but prize entries are limited to 10 per month.
What are the prizes?
The real prize is the savings account you will build with regular deposits each month. But to sweeten the pot, there is one annual grand prize of $25,000, to be awarded next January. The winner will be notified by phone and mail. All Save to Win account holders at participating credit unions in Nebraska will be eligible for the grand prize. The grand prize will be deposited into the winner's traditional share account. Plus, monthly cash prizes totaling $1,500 will be awarded.
In addition to the prizes listed above, SAC Federal Credit Union members are also eligible for the following prizes:
- For each of the months of January, February, and March 2014, 1 (one) $50.00 (fifty dollar) prizes will be awarded.
- For each of the months of April, May, and June 2014, 4 (four) $50.00 (fifty dollar) prizes will be awarded.
- For each of the months of July, August, and September 2014, 6 (six) $50.00 (fifty dollar) prizes will be awarded.
- For each of the months of October, November, and December 2014, 8 (eight) $50.00 (fifty dollar) prizes will be awarded.
Winners will be notified by phone and mail during the following month.
What is a certificate?
A certificate is a certificate of deposit issued by a credit union. You will earn a specified dividend if the certificate is held for the full term; in the case of Save to Win, the term is 12 months.
What's the dividend rate?
Please ask a Member Service Representative for the dividend on the Save to Win Certificate.
Can I withdraw money from my certificate?
Yes, you are allowed to take one withdrawal from your Save to Win account in the 12-month period. A participating member may make a maximum of one (1) withdrawal from their Qualifying Share Certificate Account during any twelve (12) month period, subject to any fees determined by the participating credit union.
How are my prize entries calculated?
Each month, we'll look at your current savings balance as compared to the previous month's balance. You'll receive one entry for every $25 increase. For example, if your Save to Win balance increases by $50, you will receive two prize entries for the month. Those prize entries will also be added into the grand prize drawing, giving you additional chances to take home the $25,000!
Why should I open a Save to Win account?
Because it's a win-win situation! Sure, you might win some of the monthly prizes and maybe even the grand prize, but with regular deposits into your Save to Win account all year, you are guaranteed to have more money saved than when you started.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. To borrow a verb from Chuck Berry, Newark Mayor Cory Booker was out there on Tuesday evening campaign-shoutin' his support for the platform produced by his party, and which was just approved in toto by a voice-vote of the entire convention. There's a lot of things in it worth shouting about, many of them admirably cognizant of the changed political realities of the last two years. For example, the platform calls for a constitutiional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision....
We support campaign finance reform, by constitutional amendment if necessary.
And it is.
The platform also takes an unequivocal stand both in favor of gay marriage and against the ongoing national effort to suppress voting rights, especially in minority communities....
We believe the right to vote and to have your vote counted is an essential American freedom, and we oppose laws that place unnecessary restrictions on those seeking to exercise that freedom.... Democrats know that voter identification laws can disproportionately burden young voters, people of color, low-income families, people with disabilities, and the elderly, and we refuse to allow the use of political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens.
(The part of the platform most likely to generate fistfights is the removal of the 2008 plank that called Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Bovines are already being birthed on that one all over the Intertoobz.)
However, and this is a huge however, the platform is shamefully silent on the Bush-era national-security policies that the current administration has kept in place or, more accurately, made a permanent part of the American government. They are not defended or justified. They are simply taken for granted and not mentioned at all. Nothing at all in there about preventive detention. No position taken on warrantless surveillance. (The 2008 platform went bananas on this subject.) There's some mush in there about how we no longer torture, which may or may not actually be true. It's early days yet, but it's hard to see anything more disgraceful coming out of this convention than the fact that the Democratic party has gone hopelessly AWOL on civil liberties.
I have also lived long enough to see a national Democratic platform that called for a cut in the corporate tax rate. I have lived a rich, full life indeed.

Pro golfer Phil Mickelson, who just won the British Open, will reportedly pay a 61% tax on his earnings, including 13 1/2 percent to the state of California. (Medieval serfs paid "only" 40 percent). He's ranked as the #2 golfer in the world. The #1 golfer, Tiger Woods, who is also a native Californian, lives in zero-income-tax Florida. This increases Tiger's income by 13 1/2 percent EVERY YEAR.
The last time Phil complained about tax theft the left-wing media, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. piled on him for daring to speak such politically-incorrect words. But he seems to have finally wised up: His $7 million California house is on the market.9:38 pm on July 25, 2013

Local residents Gina Tonelli Thomson and Michelle Devencenzi Rhein have been living with this disease and are raising awareness for others with the disease as well as funds for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
Alopecia Areata is a common autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. It usually starts with one or more small, round, smooth patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss (alopecia totalis) or complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis). Alopecia areata affects approximately two percent of the population overall, including more than 6.5 million people in the United States alone. This common skin disease is highly unpredictable and cyclical. Hair can grow back in or fall out again at any time, and the disease course is different for each person.
Early Registration is $25 per adult & $10 per child, due by February 29th guarantees event shirt.
Late Registration is $30 per adult & $10 per child due by March 15th and does not guarantee event shirt.

Manufacturer's 220-series access points are the latest to be certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance for interoperability across vendors for the draft Wi-Fi standard
Aruba Networks Inc. says its 220 Series Access Points have met the Wi-Fi Alliance's 802.11ac standard for interoperability.
"Completing Wi-Fi Alliance certification for our 802.11ac solution gives our customers the assurance they need to transition to 802.11ac or expand existing 802.11ac implementations," Robert Fenstermacher, Aruba's director, product and solutions marketing, said in a statement. "As customers begin to embrace 802.11ac for their next-generation networks, they'll be looking to wireless infrastructure vendors that can deliver integrated, enterprise-class solutions that work with the latest crop of mobile device."
Aruba's 7200 Series Mobility Controllers have also passed the Wi-Fi Alliance 802.11ac test.
802.11ac is a wireless LAN technology operating in the 5 GHz band that promises Wi-Fi speeds of around 1 Gigabit per second, or more than double the speeds of an 802.11n network.
Aruba says the 220 series – which starts at US$1,295 — differs from access points from other companies in that its units are purpose-built for 802.11ac rather than use a plug-in module.
The 220-series also include what Aruba calls ClientMatch, which it says steers client devices to the best possible access point.Related Download

Over the past couple of months, and the past few video game/electronics tradeshows, I've noticed a weird shift in balance taking place amongst my interests in some upcoming games. Slowly but very surely, I am finding myself more intrigued and more excited by Guild Wars 2 than I am by The Old Republic.
When TOR was first announced, and over the past couple of years of news, I always felt it was a given that I'd play the game... in fact since I said farewell to World of Warcraft for the last time earlier this year, I'd always planned that TOR would be the next MMO that I really got into, and started a CAD guild in. And I'm certainly still going to play, I pre-ordered my copy the day they went on sale, and I may even start that guild.
However the more I see of the game, the less "wowed" I am. It's feeling like once you get past the glossy coating of "Star Wars", and the idea of having a great Bioware story effort with complete voice-acting, all that's left underneath is... an MMO that looks to be shaping up like every other MMO out there. And to be honest... sort of a clunky one, at that.
I love the graphics, in screenshots. But I can't be the only one who watches video of these battling Jedi and thinks that the animation looks incredibly stiff and stilted. It's even worse when this gameplay footage follows some of the CGI cinematics they've been producing for this game. Cinematics which are far more gorgeous and entertaining, and feel far more like Star Wars than most of the prequel movies did. And then you watch the actual gameplay, and it doesn't seem to have any of that soul.
I'm sure gameplay will be just fine, but I'm sure of that because it's the same stuff we've seen in 90% of the MMOs that have come out since WoW dominated the market. It doesn't look bad, but at the same time it doesn't look like it's going to do much to push the genre forward.
Fully scripted storylines and hundreds ofthousands of lines of voice-acting are all well and good, and I'm really looking forward to that experience... but that sort of thing is going to end up accounting for such a small portion of the player's overall time in the game. Inbetween those NPC interactions, you're going to be out grinding mobs, running dungeons and raids, etc, just like in every other MMO.
Guild Wars 2, on the other hand, looks gorgeous in its own right. It still brings story and character to the table... perhaps not on a Bioware level, but seemingly moreso than a lot of MMOs these days.
However on top of that, they're bringing a lot of new or improved game systems to the table. They're trying new things, they're trying to push the envelope. In a lot of cases, they're trying to pare down some of the "standard MMO stuff" that has always been there, but really doesn't need to be.
If you pick up a new kind of weapon, you have one ability for that weapon. You don't need to go back to town to a trainer, or buy a skill book to get new skills... you just use the weapon. Use it for a little while, and you gain a new skill for that weapon. Keep using it, gain a third. It makes sense, it's natural, it eases you into the learning the new weapon.
They're even attempting to make dying a more entertaining and interactive experience. Instead of simply being killed, players are put into a downed state with limited function, similar to the "Fight for your Life!" in Borderlands. If you kill an enemy while downed, you rally, bringing yourself back into the fight.
It's these types of changes to the standard MMO formula that are pushing Guild Wars 2 to the top for me. While I'm excited for TOR, a game like Guild Wars 2 feels like a game I could stick with.

"To finish first you must first finish."
It doesn't matter if you're racing cars, bikes or lawnmowers; to finish first, you must first finish. These are famous racing words for every team, driver and their fans in motorsports. These words also matter in leadership, faith and life.
I've discovered there are three phases to finishing, and finishing first. They are:
1) Preparation. 2) Execution. 3) Processing. Below is a series of questions to ask in each phase. I don't proclaim these to be the only questions to ask, but I've found them useful in fielding a racecar, and also useful in leading The Rock Church.
