The Teradek Cube-205 HD-SDI Encoder connects to a camera by HDMI. The unit encodes video and embedded audio and streams these in H.264, in up to 1080p/30, to an optional decoder or to a designated URL, streaming by Ethernet or optionally by a 3G/4G USB modem, which connects into the 205's USB port. You can at the same time also store proxy files to a MicroSD card or stream them to a computer over a network. (You would need to first enable a feature called "Proxy Recording" for free from a Teradek forum).
An OLED screen allows you to change and review settings of the unit, also offering feedback for filenames and recording status. Each feature of the unit is easily controllable from here, rather than configuration through a computer or tablet. A headphone output allows for immediate audio monitoring. There is also an internal battery that recharges via micro USB. Additionally, the Cube supports several Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) including UStream, Justin.tv, Livestream, YouTube Live and more.
The Cube can be used camera-top, attaching right into your camera's hot-shoe, or you can mount it onto a rig by an included 1/4" mounting screw. For power, you can use the included AC adapter or you can connect a compatible 2-pin Lemo battery, Teradek's Canon BP-945, Panasonic D54 and Panasonic VW-VGB6. These batteries are sold separately.

Safer Eating In Pregnancy

The information contained within this post is taken from the NSW Food Authority Website. These are not recommendations written by EB and any choices you make in regard to food consumption are your own. This is only here to help as a guide line. Should you require more information, speak to your health care provider. You can view the full PDF file HERE or look at the NSW Food Authority Website.
What is Listeria?
Listeria is a type of bacteria found in some foods which causes a serious infection called listeriosis. It can take up to six weeks for the flu-like symptoms to occur and if transmitted to your unborn baby can lead to miscarriage, infection of your newborn and stillbirth. The best way to avoid this is through hygienic preparation, storing and handling of food. Ideally, you should eat only freshly cooked food and well-washed, (freshly prepared) fruit and vegetables. Leftovers can be eaten if they are refrigerated promptly and
kept no longer than a day.
These mostly chilled, ready to eat foods should be avoided altogether:
• Soft and semi-soft cheese (OK if cooked)
• Cold cooked chicken
• Cold processed meats
• Prepared salads
• Raw seafood
• Soft serve ice-cream
• Unpasteurised dairy products
• Paté
Salmonella can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, fever and headache. Pregnant women are not at an increased risk of contracting salmonellosis, but in rare cases it may trigger miscarriage.
So it's advisable to avoid foods that contain raw egg and always cook meat, chicken and eggs thoroughly.
In addition, the NSW Food Authority recommends that pregnant women do not eat any type of sprout (including alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, onion sprouts, sunflower sprouts, clover sprouts, radish sprouts, snowpea sprouts, mung beans and soybeans) either raw or lightly cooked.
Other food risks
Toxoplasmosis while uncommon in pregnant women can occur if you eat the garden. It is particularly important to avoid toxoplasmosis during pregnancy undercooked meats, or unwashed fruit and vegetables (particularly from gardens with household cats). Most commonly, however, infection is caused by touching cat and dog faeces when cleaning the kitty litter tray or contaminated soil in because it can lead to brain damage or blindness in your unborn child.
Tips for avoiding toxoplasmosis:
• Don't eat undercooked or raw meat
• Don't drink unpasteurised goat's milk
• Don't handle cat litter
• When gardening wear gloves
• Always wash your hands after
touching animals
Mercury in fish
Fish are rich in protein and minerals, low in saturated fat, and contain Omega 3 Although it's really important to eat fish during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you need to be careful about which fish you choose. That's because some fish may contain mercury levels that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the development of the central nervous system in babies, before and after they are born.
The following table will help you safely include fish as an important part of a balanced diet.
Eat 2-3 serves per week of small fish. Fish should be small enough to fit on a plate.
Examples: Mackerel, Silver Warehou, Bream, Snapper, Trevally, Whiting, Flathead,
Kingfish, canned Tuna & Salmon, Herrings, Sardines, shellfish, Lobster, Octopus
1 serve per fortnight of Shark (Flake) or Billfish (Broadbill, Swordfish and Marlin)
and no other fish that fortnight
1 serve per week of Catfish or Orange Roughy (Deep Sea Perch)
and no other fish that week
Also watch out for…
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth
or your baby could be born with foetal alcohol syndrome (slow growth before and
after birth, and mental disabilities). As it is not known whether there is a safe level of
drinking during pregnancy the National Health and Medical Research Council advises
women that it is best not to drink during pregnancy.
Small amounts of caffeine are safe during pregnancy but excessive volumes may increase
the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Caffeine is in coffee, tea, chocolate and
cola (and some other soft drinks). NSW Health recommends that pregnant women limit
themselves to 200mg of caffeine daily. That is 2 cups of ground coffee or 2 1/2 cups
instant coffee, 4 cups medium-strength tea, 4 cups cocoa/hot chocolate or 6 cups of cola.
Smoking is dangerous for your baby. Smoking increases the risk of premature birth,
low birth weight, respiratory problems and SIDS. There is no safe level of smoking.
For help to quit smoking call the Quitline on 131848.

Posted 10 November 2010 - 02:30 PM
Thanks for posting. Hopefully the members bragging about the wrong foods they ate during pregnancy will read this.
Posted 12 November 2010 - 06:37 AM
Thanks for the list. There were a couple of things on there that I thought were ok to eat.
I have heard conflicting stories about prawns. The last I heard was that a cooked prawn was ok to eat. Now I feel guilty. I did only eat a couple though. I think I will stay clear unless they are hot now. Is that ok?
And Custard. I haven't had any yet but wouldn't have even thought about that being bad.
Posted 12 November 2010 - 07:18 AM
Might be referring to egg custard. I think if you make it fresh using a packet mix or buy the premade ones they should be OK, much like mayonaise. I am not sure on that one though so perhaps it's worth asking about for those who really want custard.
Seafood - Raw seafood Don't eat
Ready-to-eat chilled peeled prawns - Don't eat
Cooked fish and seafood - Cook until steaming hot, eat while hot, store leftovers in the fridge and use within a day of cooking
I would say this means that chilled prawns (raw or cooked) should not be eaten but hot cooked prawns are OK.
Posted 15 November 2010 - 09:40 PM
with the mayonaise in jars form the supermarket question...
does that include whole egg mayo and the japanese Kewpie mayo (in the teardrop shaped squeezey bottle)?
I'm avoiding them anyway, but my favourite dish is Okonomiyaki and it requires the kewpie mayo on top, if it's not ok and whole egg mayo in a jar is ok, then yay!
oh and Ham off the bone cooked pre or post slicing?
Edited by Podlettte, 15 November 2010 - 09:41 PM.
Posted 16 November 2010 - 10:00 PM
I believe (and note I am no expert on the subject so I am not in any way suggesting anything is OK, just my own interpretation) that jars of mayo are OK because they are pasturised and go through processes to kill off pathogens and so forth. It's more fresh mayo made with raw eggs that they recommend you avoid.
Same with meat. Needs to be hot when you're eating it. If you cook it before slicing it but eat it immediately the bacteria will be killed off. If you cook it and stick it in the fridge, heat it up before you eat it.
Posted 17 November 2010 - 12:07 PM
Thanks Nut, appreciate your comments and of course understand you're not an expert etc. I'll double check with my Dr when I speak with her next, or the ante natal clinic when I book in.
I've printed off the food authority thing for my DH and will laminate to stick on the fridge and also for my parents (who are doing chrissy lunch this year).
Posted 23 November 2010 - 09:10 PM
My understanding re meats etc - a temperature of 70C kills listeria. So meat that has been cooked to that temp doesn't have to be eaten hot, but should be eaten within 24 hours of cooking. (Obviously should also be refrigerated properly.) I can't see any problem with (say) a sandwich for lunch made with cold roast beef straight from the fridge, that was cooked the night before.

This is soooo interesting.. thanks for the info
Posted 27 December 2010 - 08:16 PM
great info, thank you
does anyone know the concern about Hommus?
Posted 05 January 2011 - 03:28 PM
Just a quick one - I'm newly pregnant (5 weeks) and stupidly ate roast chicken from the supermarket today and yesterday in my sandwich. It was quite cool and I had it with mayo
At the time I avoided ham due to the risks and assumed the chicken was ok because it had been 'cooked' now I'm worried of the damage I may have caused...
What do you think??
Posted 06 January 2011 - 07:56 AM
MBMK - Try not to freak out. The mayo is not a likely concern if it was in a jar from the supermarket (and eggs are only a risk of food poisoning, not listeria so they are not as great a concern).
The chances of getting listeria are very very low. The guidelines are there not because you HAVE to follow them, but they are the foods recommended be avoided because of everything, they carry the highest chances. But you can eat 500 wheels of brie and not get anything.
I am not saying everyone should go out and gorge on all these things, just that chances are you're fine and should not get too stressed about making a mistake.
I ate a mcflurry, I had brie and a few other things you shouldn't have in pregnancy. Plus at least at this stage the placenta is not functional so the baby is not getting anything directly from you. If you did by chance contract listeria it's probably not as likely to cause harm now, but later in pregnancy can be very nasty.
This is just my general opinion though. I am not trained in medicine and this certainly can't be taken as gospel. But try not to stress about this. The risk is marginal. It exists, but it's marginal.

Hi everyone
I work outside the home and am concerned about what to eat for lunch.
I am wondering whether it is safe to eat salad from a bag if I wash it and dry it again myself.
What about a salad Ive prepared for lunch the night before?
Is it risky to eat a salad sandwich prepared for you from a very clean canteen?
With my two previous pregnancies I gained 30 kg (granted one was a twin pregnancy) and I dont want to gain that amount again! But I am terrified of listeria....Any advice?
Posted 03 February 2011 - 11:51 AM
Hi all,
I'm not pregnant yet, but have read that while TTC you should behave as though you ARE already pregnant... especially during the 2WW. Generally my diet is pretty good and since we started TTC i have given up coffee, soft drinks, sandwich meats, diet yoghurts, and nurofen. I don't drink or smoke so that's an added bonus. I have a few questions regarding the following during pregnancy....
Soy milk?? - i have read so many conflicting reports. Some say it's fine others say that the phytoestrogens (?) it contains may negatively effect the baby. I don't like regular cows milk and am concerned about my calcium intake. I've switched to full-fat yoghurt but only eat a small amount per day.
Protein Powder?? Not the meal replacement stuff formulated for weight loss, I mean the full on protein powder that body-builders use. I have a massive tub of it left over from my training days and have it with soy milk a few times a week as a quick and easy lunch. Are there any particular ingredients i should check for that need to be avoided??

I don't drink Cow's milk or soy but I drink rice milk and it's fortified with calcium. Sesame seeds also have calcium in them as lots of other foods. I've read that soy can impact on fertility so I avoided it when TTC.
Posted 20 February 2011 - 07:41 AM
There are mixed reports about soy, but from personal experience i have not found that a little bit causes problems. I am dairy intolerant so any milk I have (usually a decaf coffee and a couple of cups of tea) is soy milk. I also have a bit of tofu and eat she eps yoghurt(for extra calcium source). I fell pregnant first cycle both times.
Posted 20 February 2011 - 07:52 AM
does anyone know the concern about Hommus?I can't see why hommus would be a problem. I think they key is to eat while fresh, much like everything during pregnancy. I wouldn't think twice about using hommus that has been in the fridge a week after opening, but while pregnant I would be more strict on how long after opening I would eat anything.

I agree, i will think twice about a couple things eg. cheese's n dairy, but eating left over cold meat from the night before?? if its cooked properly to begin with & stored in fridge properly i dont see the problem. Totally agree with sam_gamgee on this one!
Posted 03 March 2011 - 09:49 AM
What is the risk with bean sprouts, mung beans, etc?
Posted 04 March 2011 - 11:41 AM
Meats - Listeria is one of the only bacteria that thrives in the fridge and will grow faster in acold environment. The recommendation is to only eat meat HOT. Suggests that home cooked cold meats is not a go. You can cook it, cool it quickly in the fridge for a few minutes and then eat it, but should not eat it after it's been sitting for a while, refrigerated or not.
Soy - There are suggestions that soy is not a good option for anyone. It supposedly has a property that is close to oestrogen and can have negative hormonal effects.
Have you tried Zymil? It's sweeter than normal cows milk. Otherwise there is rice milk or goats milk. Maybe try some of the other options if you wish to avoid soy.
Beans/sprouts etc - I am not 100% sure but I was told by a nutritonist to avoid packaged salad products, even just bags of loose lettuce. I expect it's for the same reason.

The chilly breeze, thundering of clouds, the hot Pakoras with tea and the pouring drops from the sky! We all love to enjoy the monsoon season in our own ways. Some like to go out and have fun in the rain while others like to enjoy the rains while sitting at home and having hot pakoras and tea. The beautiful actress Additi Gupta seems to be one among those!
TellyBuzz got in touch with the actress who was recently seen as Nandini in 'Badalte Rishton Ki Daastan' on Zee TV to know more about her Monsoon masti and her memories related to monsoon.
Let's see what Additi has to share with us.
Rainy season for me is:
Lot of laziness.
Precautions I take during monsoon:
I hate rains so I don't like to go out during rainy seasons. I prefer to sleep at home and enjoy the weather.
My monsoon related memories:
Once my friends Karan Kundra, Kritika Kamra, Mukti Mohan and I went to Lonavala and we were dancing like crazy in the rains. Its like a crazy memory of monsoon for me. It was a lot of fun; we were wet and we came back to Mumbai like that only - shivering!
My likes and dislikes about monsoon:
I like the weather just before it starts raining when the black clouds cover the sky and I dislike going out in the rains as the roads become worst during rains and even if you dress up nicely and go out then also you get your dress spoiled. If I have to just sit at home during rainy season then I like rains.
Favorite place to visit during monsoon:
Pune! It's really a nice place to visit during monsoon. The weather is chilly and the place is well organized and the greenery spread all around makes it look more beautiful.
Things I must carry during monsoon:
I don't carry an umbrella. I carry tissues with me so that if my slipper or feet get spoiled with water and mud then I can clean it.
My favorite monsoon music:
These days I am listening to Shikaaytein from 'Lootera'. It's on repeat on my playlist because I love this song.
My monsoon special food:
I like having the sprouts and protein salads at Lokhandwala Back Road during rains in the evening.
The moment when I enjoyed with my co-stars:
When I was doing 'Sanjog Se Bani Sangini' we used to order for some Bhajiyas during rains and me and Iqbal who used to be great foodies, used to enjoy them.
Monsoon tips for readers:
You will fall ill and get flu and cold during rainy season
which is very normal but do take care of yourself and be careful. Take a leave
for 3-4 months and enjoy the rains at your home and stay healthy.

TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Industry's Lowest-Priced USB 2.0 Signal-Quality Test Option
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced the industry's lowest-priced USB 2.0 signal-quality test option. This option for the InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes supports low-speed, full-speed and hi-speed USB applications. The USB interface is used extensively for computer applications and for a broad range of embedded connectivity applications.
For years, oscilloscopes have been the primary measurement tools used by electrical engineers to verify the signal integrity of their USB designs. With the new DSOX4USBSQ signal-quality test option on Agilent's InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes, engineers can now quickly verify the analog quality of their signals generated by USB hubs, hosts and devices based on USB-IF compliance standards.
Engineers who work with embedded electronics do not usually perform official USB-IF testing, because USB-IF certification is not typically required for non-PC products. However, to ensure reliability, embedded-systems designers often test the physical layer of their designs based on USB-IF standards as a "reality check" to insure signal-quality standards are met before releasing their products to production. Agilent's new USB 2.0 signal-quality test option offers a low-priced way to perform these tests.
In the traditional computer/peripheral industry, engineers typically do perform USB-IF physical-layer certification and testing. However, smaller companies may not be able to afford a complete suite of high-performance test equipment to conduct precompliance physical-layer testing. With Agilent's USB 2.0 signal-quality test option licensed on an InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscope, engineers now have a more affordable solution they can use to perform important signal-quality physical-layer tests before running their final product through complete certification testing at a USB-IF workshop.The USB 2.0 signal-quality test option generates HTML pass/fail reports for eye-diagram mask testing, jitter analysis, end-of-packet bit width, signaling rate, edge monotonicity and rise/fall times—all based on official USB-IF algorithms embedded in the oscilloscope. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent DSOX4USBSQ signal-quality test option is priced at $1,020 and will be available Feb. 15. The entry-level price of an Agilent 200-MHz-bandwidth InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscope for USB 2.0 low- and full-speed applications is $5,611. For USB 2.0 hi-speed applications, Agilent recommends the four-channel, 1.5-GHz-bandwidth InfiniiVision DSOX4154A oscilloscope, which is priced at $19,237.

Mitsubishi Electric Presents Integrated Digital Solutions At ISC West 2008
2008 ISC West Expo â LAS VEGAS, Nevada, April 2, 2008 â Mitsubishi Digital Electronics Americaâs Imaging Products Division today presented its integrated, customizable security solutions with applications across multiple industries including retail, financial, higher learning and home monitoring.
Mitsubishiâs customizable solutions combine different modules to suit the unique requirements of individual retailers and organizations. Modules offered include Central Station Alarm Monitoring, Automated DVR Health Check and Point of Sale Monitoring. Individual modules may be mixed and matched, customized and tailored to any organizationâs specific needs. In addition, storage expansion units are available to increase the capacity of Mitsubishiâs industry-leading DVR units.
With Mitsubishiâs Central Station Alarm Monitoring, Mitsubishi DVRs integrate seamlessly with existing alarm systems. When an alarm sounds, images automatically appear in the central monitoring station with a split screen of live video along with archived video, allowing immediate review of any security concern. This system is vital for any market that utilizes central stationsâsuch as large retailers, banks or home monitoring centers.
Mitsubishiâs Automated DVR Health Check software monitors the status of all the DVRs in use across a given system, checking connectivity and recording status while synchronizing with the organizationâs network time protocol. The enterprise health check software alerts operators at the Central Station to any loss of video signal. In this way, an operator can investigate and repair immediately rather than losing recording capabilities for extended periods.
Mitsubishi also offers options for increased storage, allowing users to build up to the level of storage they need. New DX-ZD6UE expansion units add up to 1.5 terabytes of extra storage to existing DVR capacity, and 14 units may be connected to a single DVR for a total of 21 additional terabytes of space. By a creating a cascading system of 16 Mitsubishi DX-TL5000U DVRsâeach with the maximum number of expansion unitsâusers can gain an industry-leading 368 terabytes of total storage.
For retailers especially, the benefits are compelling. Mitsubishi DVR models work with a multitude of security cameras regardless of brand, type or location. Point of Sale cameras, loss prevention cameras and security cameras can all be integrated into the same system. In custom applications, POS images can be matched with the data from any particular point of sale, allowing users to enter transaction numbers into the system, immediately pulling up the matching video.
An entire system, in effect, can become a fully controlled network with features for programming and changing settings on each DVR remotely. With such a system, IT crews do not need to be onsite to manage the unitsâa critical capability for companies with hundreds of locations. Mitsubishi software allows remote selection of video and recording options, motion detection and other features across the network, giving a specific location not only remote viewing capabilities but full access to any of the hundreds of DVRs and their thousands of recorded camera images. If desired, authorization codes can be granted to designated operators for access to certain images while administrators retain total global access to all images from any location they choose.
âMitsubishi is dedicated to providing the very best in digital security products across a wide range of industries, and we realize that security needs can differ greatly from organization to organization,â? said Jeff Kiuchi, product specialist, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America Imaging Products Division. âMitsubishi offers a wide range of solutions that can be customized for any need, all while providing the very best features, options and the highest potential storage capacity in the industry.â?
About Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America
Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of Japan, a worldwide leader in premium quality imaging and presentation products that set the standard in innovation, performance and reliability.

Alice is back, and there isn't a Mad Hatter in sight.
But there are plenty of zombies, so you know we must be talking about the Alice played by former model Milla Jovovich in the "Resident Evil" film series. The movies are based on a popular video game, and the fourth movie in the series, "Resident Evil: Afterlife," opens Friday in 3-D. Once again, Alice is battling the undead and the notorious Umbrella Corporation in a world stricken with a deadly virus.
To celebrate the opening, we bring you a list of the toughest women characters who ever graced the big screen, Alice included.
This is an answer to last month's list of the "Manliest Movies Ever Made." Many women wrote in to request equal time.
We are here only to serve our readers, so here is our list of the female characters you'd least like to meet in a dark alley.
Although she does not appear on the list, we'd like to acknowledge Ida Lupino, who played a tough-as-nails prison warden in the 1955 flick "Women's Prison." No special reason, but who doesn't love a good women's prison movie?

Password Privacy Bill Passes IL House
A bill that passed the Illinois House was meant to increase privacy protections for workers' personal passwords, but it might still let employers access the information.
The bill stops employers from requiring workers or prospective hires to give up personal passwords, though it still allows employers to access personal accounts that have been used for "business purposes."
The bill doesn't specify what exactly "business purposes" are.
The exception was added in an amendment to the bill.
The section reads: "An employer may request or require an employee to disclose any user name and password, password, or other means of authentication for accessing any accounts or services provided by the employer or by virtue of the employee's employment relationship with the employer or that the employee uses for business purposes."
Republican State Representative Norine Hammond of Macomb voted for the bill.
"It strengthens the employer's ability to investigate allegations of theft and other misconduct within the employer's business, but it also allows the employee their own personal freedom for their passwords," Hammond said.
The bill will next be considered by the Senate.

gift card holder sets
This is definitely a high gift giving season for us this year. There are graduations, first communions, mother's day, teacher's gifts and birthdays all jammed into just a few weeks of time. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. So that got me thinking as to how I will want to present some of the gift cards that will be part of some of these gifts.
I like cards in some cases because I don't know what the person may want (teenagers!) or because I want them to get something they really, really like and I know where they will be getting it from. What I don't like at all is just tossing a gift card into a card. Even if I make the card it still seems too easy. Does that make sense?
So I've come up with a couple of options for all of us. They are gift card holders that come inside of pretty boxes. They also include a matching card that fits inside the box. The Flowers Gift Card Set is obviously more feminine than the Dashes Gift Card Set. I think the latter would be a great option for the special boys and men in your lives.
Remember that even though these are gift card sets it doesn't mean that you can't use the different parts (the flower, the box backgrounds, etc) for other projects like cards, gift toppers, scrapbooking pages or other artwork pieces.
If you need more pop of color for your gifts I also have new Assorted Bows. Aren't these fun?
Speaking of artwork... I have another easel for you. A tripod easel! I love it. I hadn't had a chance to record the video but now it's up and you can see how easy it is to put together.
As always, if you have any questions about any of these projects just let me know!
You can find all these projects in my NEW section. Enjoy!

And they are dangerous." In The Truth About Stories, Native novelist and scholar Thomas King explores how stories shape who we are and how we understand and interact with other people. From creation stories to personal experiences, historical anecdotes to social injustices, racist propaganda to works of contemporary Native literature, King probes Native culture's deep ties to storytelling. With wry humor, King deftly weaves events from his own life as a child in California, an academic in Canada, and a Native North American with a wide-ranging discussion of stories told by and about Indians. So many stories have been told about Indians, King comments, that "there is no reason for the Indian to be real. The Indian simply has to exist in our imaginations." That imaginative Indian that North Americans hold dear has been challenged by Native writers - N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, Louis Owens, Robert Alexie, and others - who provide alternative narratives of the Native experience that question, create a present, and imagine a future. King reminds the reader, Native and non-Native, that storytelling carries with it social and moral responsibilties.

Pope Benedict XVI on Monday called for the protection of traditional heterosexuality, comparing the Catholic church's role in defending the family to saving the rain forests. Also not high on the Vatican's list when it comes to issues of sexuality and "nature": gender studies. You're on notice, Judith Butler!
The pope made his pronouncement about saving the straights a day after celebrating the life and achievements of Galileo, whom the Vatican condemned during his lifetime. The Holy See later apologized (much later), calling the church's attitude toward Galileo a tragic mistake.
The Australian:
"If tropical forests deserve our protection, humankind ... deserves it no less,'' the 81-year-old pontiff said, calling for "an ecology of the human being''.
It is not "outmoded metaphysics'' to urge respect for the "nature of the human being as man and woman'', he told scores of prelates gathered in the Vatican's sumptuous Clementine Hall.

When everywhere, on TV and in real life, badly dressed, over-exposed women and girls assault the eye—it doesn't hurt to be reminded what class looks like. Fifty three seconds into this touching interview conducted with Kim Campbell, wife of Alzheimer's-stricken musician Glenn Cambell, the camera pans out to reveal Mrs. Campbell's elegant attire. She is wearing black, knee-high boots, and a long, grey, well-tailored skirt nipped in high at the waist.
Opposite Mrs. Campbell sits Fox News' coarse-looking Gretchen Carlson. She is dressed in a cheap-looking turquoise slip hitched almost as high as her thighs. This is the standard-issue outfit (and behavior) on Fox News. Too awful.
On BBC News and RT one can still find the odd intellectual, who knows a thing or two about a topic. But in markets catering to American tastes—that includes Al Jazeera America—it's teletarts all the way.

"Different Perspectives"
One thing to keep in mind with this book is that it's the third in a four-part series that may repeat previous topics for reinforcing concepts, but that are part of a greater whole. Yes, the book is good enough that it can stand on its own, but you may get so much more by reading the previous two first (Process of Deliberate Creation Money & The Law of Attraction). My two cents...
"A life-changing book"
The overall message, the depth in which issues were tackled, and the performances by all involved got the book across in a way that conventional reading may not have, as I'm a slow reader in this way.
ti tackled universal themes in a way that resonated with me, even challenged me at times.
Not until this book, and I listened to the other "books" in the series. This one was the gateway drug, as it were, to my immersing into the others.
A new way to go home.
If you're like me, this book will resonate in a way that feeds on the things that I knew instinctively, yet never knew how to put into words until now. Be open to surprise, especially if reading with lifelong religious and spiritual beliefs that may run counter to what's being said. It's brought clarity to my world.

But we did want to let you know that just in case you were waiting for a Mac version, the wait ended last week. Aspyr has released the Mac port of the sequel to Gearbox's popular open-world shooter, and you can get it nearly everywhere Borderlands 2 is available.
Including on Steam, where it's currently on sale for US$44.99. I haven't had much time to play it yet, but the reviews on this one are great, and especially if you were a fan of the first title, there's definitely reason to grab this and play it on the Mac of your choice. Enjoy, and here's hoping you find all of your other Black Friday deals today as well.

''fast-food outlets on American military bases'' another dose of American ingenuity, its fine and dandy considering your next meal when your on the side of the grass with the bigger weapons, where you're not worrying about rains of gunfire falling on your loved ones.
@ ''buscador: General Petraeus. He is trying harder to win the heart and stomach of US soldiers than the Afghan campaign''- this are discussions we hear when there is no underlying credible and respectable motivation for a war. The US government likes to consider themselves as civilized but at times I truly question that, perhaps bullying and invasion is ingrained in their flag like a hereditary disease. There is no end to the impression that US (though probably not each individual) army as a collective see this as a huge game.
@ ''nirvana-bound-: soaring unemploymnent in the US, demands the armed forces.. to continue to retain its frontline troops... employed'''. To consider that US would prolong a war just to keep economic indicators nice and trim is truly shocking, more so because there could actually be a grain of truth to that. At the end of the day - what is their interest in afghanistan? what resources are they seeking to exploit? how is this benefiting the US - there must be some gain from all this expense, to sum it the US is not exactly a charity organisation and i dont buy the peace keeping mantra - where was this intervention in Rwanda during the civil struggle for example? perhaps it is fundamentally a religious war.
@''roman the tradeR:..cannot imagine a 'win' scenario''...as long as everybody's pride is at stake. The only solution is the US to withdraw and mind their own business lest trouble knocks on their doors, colonialism is a thing of the past nations cannot be expected to follow their ''golden model'' - shoot 'em up or pack up and end this record already.

Ruby Slippers
The Ruby Slippers exercise works your butt, legs, inner thighs and outer thighs.
Katie, come into position for me. We're gonna take one foot on either side of the hose. She's gonna drop down into the bottom of a squat position, really in her heels. Her tummy is crazy tight. Now, she's gonna take a nice big inhale and on her exhale, she's gonna jump up as fast as she can and click her heels together and then land back into this position. So go ahead and start. Why don't you give us 3 or 4. Perfect. Now she's getting really high off the ground. You do not have to get this high, but it's so beautiful and it's something to aspire for.

Grey's Anatomy has had some pretty sensational storylines -- bomb explosions, plane crashes, mass shootings, etc. -- but not all of the drama happens onscreen.
Four years ago, series star Katherine Heigl caused a bit of a stir on set when she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration because she felt she hadn't been "given the material to warrant a nomination." Writers on the show were reportedly miffed, and though Heigl remained on the show for two years after the incident, her relationship with series creator Shonda Rhimes always seemed strained.
Rhimes -- who also created the Grey's spinoff Private Practice and the political drama Scandal, starring Kerry Washington -- recently sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an Oprah's Next Chapter interview airing Sunday, Dec. 9, on OWN. Among the topics they covered? Heigl's infamous Emmy snub.
"On some level it stung, and on some level I was not surprised," the Grey's head writer, 42, tells Oprah in a teaser for the interview. "When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well."
Heigl, 34, left the medical drama in 2010 to pursue film projects and spend more time with her family -- she and husband Josh Kelley adopted daughters Naleigh and Adalaide in fall 2009 and spring 2012, respectively -- but earlier this year, she expressed interest in returning to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital to close out her character's arc.
PHOTOS: Stars who have adopted
"I've told them I want to," the Knocked Up actress told E! News in January. "I really, really, really want to see where [Izzie Stevens] is. I just want to know what happened to her and where she went and what she's doing now. My idea is that she actually, like, figures it out, and finds some success and does really well in a different hospital."
Rhimes had other ideas, and none of them involved Izzie -- or Heigl. "I think it was really nice to hear her appreciating the show. At the same time we are on a track we have been planning," she told TV Guide in response to the star's wish to reprise her role. "The idea of changing that track is not something we are interested in right now."
Rhimes says she's grown a lot since that experience and, in general, during her nine years as a show runner. Speaking to Oprah about her greatest accomplishment over that time, she says: "I think I'm most proud of the fact that I have figured out how to exist as both a creative person and artist, and a businesswoman and manager. Because those two things do not go together."
"For a long time," she continues, "I really had a hard time with the idea that I was supposed to be this person who lived inside her head and created things but also managed a bunch of people and had to lead a group of people. And those two things have sort of come together. And I'm really proud of how that works now."

Remember the awesome movie HEAT? One of my favorites of all time.
Of course everyone remembers the legendary shoot out.
Well to those who don't know this, a few years after HEAT came out, 2 bank robbers robbed a bank in LA as well , appearently one or both of them were obsessed with the movie Heat.
They wore so much body armor the police handguns could do nothing, and using ak47s they sprayed away at anything that moved.

Fachen, a Strange Giant
Posted on Aug 7, 2012
JON KANEKO-JAMES tells us about the half giants known as Fachen, which had one eye, one arm and one leg
Bit of weird personal information from me (this might be more than you really want to know:) I never really properly knew either of my grandmothers.
From what I remember, though, one of them (on my father's side) was awesome and probably contributed the genetic material that made me turn out how I am.
When hearing that my mother was pregnant again, she immediately started taking her out to a series of walks in Cemeteries, Crematoria and derelict lunatic asylums (well… I might have made that last one up).
That's why it's a bit strange that I remember hearing about this monster from my Grandmother, despite the fact that the numbers don't really add up.
On the other hand, from what I know of her, I can imagine her telling this tale to a baby squalling in its crib:
"When the world was young, there were a race of giants with only one arm. They also had only one leg, and only one eye. In fact they lived as if they were split down the middle, with all their guts hanging down one side. Imagine what that would be like."
That's the story, imagine my surprise decades later when (in the course of my daily weirdness) I find out it's a real thing. Or at least, an authentic piece of folklore, rather than Grandma trying to warn me that I might get my arms and legs chewed off.
The creature is called (in Ireland and Scotland) the Fachen, and it's almost exactly as described: a hairy giant, with with one arm growing out of its chest and only one leg, forcing it to hop.
The creature also only has one eye, which stares, open and saucer-like all the time.
The creature apparently hops around the wilder parts of Wales, Ireland and Scotland, striking out at people with it's one, clawed hand.
The role of the Fachen is generally to get beaten at stuff: the hero Murachadh Mac Brian challenges one Fachen to a race, which he wins (being a biped).
Although, there a more fierce and powerful version of the Fachen myth that still affects people in the North of Scotland, the tale of the Biasd Bheulach, a creature that can either appear as a one armed and legged man like the Fachen, or as a terrible hound… with only one leg and one eye.
Regardless of how scary we might find the myth however, it's a fact that workmen laying cable and repairing roads on the Scottish coast are still found unconscious, savaged down one side: their right arm and leg broken and damaged, bitten ragged. Some say it is the work of the Biasd Bheulach, jealous beyond control at the workman's overabundance of limbs and eyes.
Some even say the monster is a memory of a magical pose called the glám dícenn, an especially potent ritual pose used by Druids and Celtic sorcerers when they wanted to issue a particularly potent prophesy or curse. Here's an example of it being used in one of the stories from the Ulster Cycle, the Destruction of Da Dega's Hostel:
"She came and put one of her shoulders against the door-post of the house, casting the evil eye on the king and the youths who surrounded him in the Hostel. He himself addressed her from within.
"Well, O woman," says Conaire, "if thou art a wizard, what seest thou for us?"
"Truly I see for thee," she answers, "that neither fell nor flesh of thine shall escape from the place into which thou hast come, save what birds will bear away in their claws."
"It was not an evil omen we foreboded, O woman," saith he: "it is not thou that always augurs for us. What is thy name, O woman?"
"Calib," she answers.
"That is not much of a name," says Conaire.
"Lo, many are my names besides."
"Which be they?" asks Conaire.
"Easy to say," quoth she. "Samon, Sinand, Seisclend, Sodb, Caill, Coll, Dichoem, Dichiuil, Dithim, Dichuimne, Dichruidne, Dairne, Darine, Deruaine, Egem, Agam, Ethamne, Gnim, Cluiche, Cethardam, Nith, Nemain, Noennen, Badb, Blosc, B[l]oar, Huae, oe Aife la Sruth, Mache, Mede, Mod."
On one foot, and holding up one hand, and breathing one breath she sang all that to them from the door of the house."
Sadly, the Fachen isn't truely a cryptid, although there are stories from North Wales and the North of Scotland of strange, monopedal figures, outlined against the dusk, hopping along in abandoned places. We can only hope we don't meet them…
