The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 13
Posted By: cyn ODate: Thursday, 27 April 2000, at 8:07 p.m.
In Response To: Tinnitis (Pixie O+)
I can't say exactly what is causing your tinnitis, but I suspect maybe you are detoxing. Don't give up! I've had tinnitis pretty much all my life BIG TIME--BIG ROARS! I've found that many of my avoids bring it on. I can control it to a large extent by not eating those avoids. Stress and fatique are factors for me, too, but I really attribute a lot of my serious tinnitis problems to diet based on the fact eating right seems to alleviate the symtoms BIG TIME!
Another thing, when I began a low-carbo/low-sugar diet for hypoglycemia, initially my tinnitis got remarkably worse. I was ready to quit because I was actually getting sick from all the noise. After staying with it for 14 or 15 days, all was quiet--Wow! I attributed the initial increase to my body sloughing off all those sugars that were so bad for me (or maybe even screaming for MORE SUGAR!!!--smile). (Now my problem is STAYING OFF those carbos and sugars--easier said than done sometimes.)

The $382 billion programme is the single largest defence procurement in history, but the effort to develop the jet has been mired with technical challenges and price-sticker shock. The DoD hopes to buy 2,443 of the stealthy fifth-generation type. Of those, 1,763 would go to the US Air Force, while the US Marine Corps will buy 420, comprising 340 short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) F-35Bs and 80 F-35C carrier variants.
The US Navy is also expected to buy 260 aircraft. While the service is officially committed to the JSF endeavour, there are those who question its commitment to the single-engined fighter...

How do I apply? Do I need to submit a business plan?
Simply fill out the Israel 2013 form for companies. No business plan required!
If you want to apply as an individual, please use the individual application.
What is the Application deadline?
See our Schedules page.
What criteria will you use to decide which companies to invite?
As we review applications we are going to focus on the following questions:
- How BIG is the idea?
- How big is the market opportunity?
- Can you complete a prototype, beta or market-ready product within 3 months?
- Is the team comprised of bright, capable, enthusiastic people with whom we can work?
How is DreamIt different from Angel Investors and VC firms?
Most other funding sources have been moving upstream, looking for companies that have at least a beta/prototype, a business plan, and some structured idea where they are going. We are looking to become involved earlier then that. We are looking for great ideas and great people and will help develop great companies around them.
Does it have to be a web, software or IT idea?
No. We are interested in any idea that can be developed into a product in three months. While we anticipate that most of these ideas will be web, software and/or IT, we hope also to receive applications in physical sciences, medical devices and anything else where a product can be developed in three months.
How much will DreamIt invest in each company? What percentage of equity will DreamIt receive in return?
We offer each selected company a stipend between $11,250 and $30,000 ($5,000 plus $6,250 for each founding team member (up to four) who will be onsite for the program). In addition, each company will receive valuable service and counsel from top attorneys, accounting firms, and priceless guidance from mentors, advisors and other participants at no charge. In return, DreamIt will receive an 8% passive equity stake in your company.
Can a person apply by himself/herself?
Yes, although we are more likely to accept company proposals from small teams. If we really like your idea and you apply by yourself, we may recommend other people to you who can join your team. However, your chances are best if you apply with a great idea and a great team.
Alternatively, if you don't have a company or an idea, but have exceptional technical, design, or business skills you can apply for our Hacker or Strategist tracks. Many of our companies are looking for people to round out their teams. Students interested in internships should also use this application. See Applying as an Individual.
Can I submit more than one application?
Yes, if you have more than one idea. Please do not submit more than one application for the same idea.
What services will DreamIt provide?
Business talent, service providers, mentoring, office space, guidance from leading visionaries, seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, introductions to great business people, and networking to help you get to the next level. With the exception of direct, out-of-pocket expenses (such as software licenses and corporate filing fees), these services are provided at no cost to you. Click here for more information about the program.
Where do I live and work during DreamIt?
We require that all funded team members live in the area (Israel and New York) during the duration of the program. You choose where to live, although we will help you find some good options. You choose where to work — be it a coffee shop, a museum, the ballpark, or the office space and common space that we will have available for you. However, we do ask that you come into the office for our Speaker Series, Managing Partner meetings, and other team events.
What if I need more money to launch my company?
A key component of DreamIt is Demo Day. On Demo Day, you present your product and company to a room packed with VCs, angel investors, private investors and other public and private funding sources. During DreamIt, you will work with a mentor and the DreamIt to help you create and refine your pitch.
Will I get additional funding at Demo Day?
If you need it, this is the place to make your ask. We hope that the presenting companies get funded at Demo Day, but that will depend on how good your idea is, how much progress you have made, how impressive you are, and whether there is a fit with a particular investor or group.
We will help you create and refine your presentation, elevator pitch, and other materials – to the extent that you want our help. The event is attended by a large variety of early stage investors and other funding sources. We can get them into the room, the rest is up to you.
In addition to Mentors and advisors I see you are accepting applications from Strategists and Hackers. Will I work with one of them?
We are accepting applications from top strategists and hackers (Apply as an Individual ) to help you build out either the business or technical sides of your team. If you need resources for your company, we can introduce you to people who we think might be a fit. Ultimately, it's your company and you will decide if you want to add one of these people to your team.
What is expected of me?
We want you to stay focused and work hard to build your prototype or market-ready product. We also hope that you will be open to our ideas and suggestions. Other then that, we want you to enjoy starting your company!
Why are you doing this?
The founders of DreamIt have all started, built, and successfully exited companies. We also are experienced early stage investors. We have seen capital moving upstream to more mature companies, while the cost of development is decreasing. This has created a gap in funding, resources, and guidance for great people with great ideas who would like to start a company. We want to fill that gap and help to bring great companies to life that otherwise might not make it.
Does it matter how old I am?
No (except that if you are under 18 you will need parental permission to participate). We care about your idea and your ability, but not your age.
Mozart started composing music when he was 4 years old. Shirley Temple was the top-grossing box-office star for four years before she turned 10. Joe Nuxhall pitched in the major leagues when he was 15, and Tara Lapinski won the Olympic Gold Medal at 15. Einstein published E = mc2 when he was 26. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine in his late 30s. Picasso was 56 when he painted Guernica, and 86 when the Chicago Picasso was unveiled.
While we expect that most of our applicants will be between 18-30, great ideas happen at every age.
Does it matter where I am from?
We do not care where you are from as long as you can live legally in the city of the program during the three-month cycle.
Will I sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement?
No. We simply see too many ideas and too many companies to sign an NDA. While the more explicit you are about your idea the better we will be able to evaluate it, send us only as much information as you are comfortable disclosing.
If you are selected for DreamIt, top lawyers will counsel you about how best to protect your intellectual property (among other things).
I still have more questions. What do I do?
Check our About. Or contact us at email@example.com

noun \träm-ˈbōn, (ˌ)trəm-ˈ, ˈträm-ˌ\: a large brass musical instrument that you blow into and that has a tube that you slide in and out to play different notes
Full Definition of TROMBONE
Origin of TROMBONE
Rhymes with TROMBONE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Brass instrument with an extendable slide with which the length of its tubing can be increased. It has a mostly cylindrical bore and a cup-shaped mouthpiece. The slide performs the same function as the valves in other brass instruments. Valve trombones, both with and without slides, were developed in the early 19th century; they provide increased agility but diminished tone quality. The trombone exists in several sizes; the tenor trombone in B-flat is the standard instrument, but the bass trombone is also used orchestrally. The trombone (long known as the sackbut) developed in the 15th century and has changed little over 400 years. By the 16th century it had been adopted by town, court, church, and military bands; it was employed in early opera orchestras, but it only began to be used in the symphony orchestra c. 1800. In the 20th century it became important in dance and jazz bands.

Dead Funny
Whether Dead Funny will work quite as well decades down the line, as the bygone comics fade from memory, is debatable, but right now this tale of collective obsession and crumbling marriages is very, very funny indeed.
Set in the early nineties, Terry Johnson's tragi-comedy centres on a group of hero-worshipping neighbours, fixated on British comedians of music-hall tradition. Benny Hill has just died and the dwindling numbers of the Dead Funny Society prepare a wake.
From this unlikely premise springs a play written unashamedly for adults and played with verve by the five-strong cast, four of whom are Society members, with the fifth - Eleanor - played by the brilliantly brittle Elizabeth Marsh, a cynical onlooker, as her troubled life unravels. This actress has a most expressive face and her vulnerability revealed in the play's closing moments is painful to watch.
Hilarious comedy, brilliant comic timing, the recreation of classic sketches and custard pie fights have us guffawing as the tragedy unfolds. Gynaecologist Richard (Darrell Brockis) is as indifferent to his wife Eleanor's obsession to give birth as she is to his with dead comics.
Their friends, for whom they babysit, Lisa (Aimee Thomas) and Nick (Sam Newman) are drawn into a web of sexual impropriety and deceit, and the unlikely catalyst is the gentle neighbour Brian, a superb performance of inner pain almost concealed with levity by David Alcock.
Ian Forrest directs his cast, disconcertingly close to its audience in the theatre's small studio space, with assurance, getting every nuance of the playwright's masterly blending of laughter and pain, slap and tickle. We leave the theatre laughing and crying in about equal measure. Dead Funny is dead brilliant - a welcome addition to the 2005 summer season in Keswick and definitely for adults only.

MarcEdit how-to videos
I had the pleasure of attending an advanced MarcEdit workshop this past Friday taught by none other than Mr. MarcEdit himself, Terry Reese. I learned quite a few tips and tricks. Most important for me was learning how the regular expression engine functions and the extensions Terry included (not too many, yay for sticking to the .NET framework!). The portion on programming MarcEdit from the command line was a bit beyond my ken but it was cool to see it and file under must-learn-someday.
Terry has a quite a few YouTube videos demonstrating how to make the most of the program. They have been available for a couple of years but they're worth reminding folks about. And hey, it's Monday, it's a movie, and it's metadata related.

Hi all, I happened to be pruning some roses and thought I'd say something in case anyone wanted cuttings. I chopped a bit on Vielchenblau and Mlle. Franziska Krueger. Let me know if anyone wants anything. I put a posting up in the plant exchange forum but thought to say something in here just in case. I thought I may try to root a few for myself as well. Could be fun :) |

Hi Julianna. I would be interested in a couple of each. Are you looking to trade or do for postage? Please check my trade list if you want to do a trade. Thanks, Kay |
Hi Kay! Your list is certainly tempting, but without sun I'm kind of limited. Darn! LOL! That's OK. I'm happy to send for postage. If you e-mail me today, I can put them in the mail for you to start them on the journey ASAP. |
Hi Kay, I sent you another message Friday. I can't send without your address :) To everyone else: Cuttings are all gone now. Thanks everyone! |

In the video for the new Los Campesinos! video "Hello Sadness," a mob of hooded art-school terrorists kidnap the members of the band, forcing them to do mundane tasks like trimming their beards and eating spaghetti. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it does lead to a closing twist that I didn't see coming. I won't spoil it; just know that this is the unbelievably twee Hostel sequel that nobody anticipated. Casey Raymond and Ewan Jones Morris direct. Watch it below.
The new Los Campesinos! album Hello Sadness is out today on Wichita.

Irondequoit, N.Y. - Wednesday night, Dec. 11, will be the last chance for people in Irondequoit to weigh in on a proposal to consolidate the town's libraries.
Under a proposal voters already approved, the two current libraries would close to make way for the new 40,000 square foot facility.
But after the vote, legal challenges led to a new vote which will take place Saturday.
The final public forum, including a question-and-answer session, starts at 7 p.m. at the Irondequoit Town Hall.

ABC News's False Benghazi Repor
[On Media: The Benghazi Trail]
WATCH: ABC's Benghazi Reporting Unravel.
On May 10, ABC News reported what it characterized as a major "exclusive" on the consulate attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Claiming to have "obtained" key administration e-mails, the report appeared to illustrate White House and State Department aides editing out references to terrorism in talking points for political reasons. The story seemed to vindicate conservatives, who for months had been screaming about a cover-up.
But when the e-mails in question were released to the public, they differed substantially from those ABC News "exclusively unearthed" in the scoop. Soon after, the truth came out: the reporter, ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, was quoting not the actual e-mails, but rather summaries of the e-mails provided by a Republican source.
Despite repeated on-air claims, ABC News had never "obtained" the e-mails, and the damning "quotes" that triggered the "exclusive" turned out to be misleading.

Pro-lifers have not stopped in the fight against federally-funded abortions.
Since the health care bill became law on March 23, pro-life groups have managed to enact laws in Arizona and Tennessee restricting abortion coverage under private plans in new insurance markets known as exchanges.
"We don't consider elective abortion to be health care, so we don't think it's a bad thing for fewer private insurance companies to cover it," said Mary Harned, attorney for Americans United for Life.
Nearly 30 million Americans will get their health coverage through exchanges. The new insurance markets open in 2014 and will primarily benefit small business owners.
Part of the health care law allows states to prevent abortion coverage under private plans in exchanges. Americans United for Life wrote the model law for Arizona and Tennessee.
Lawmakers in Florida, Mississippi and Missouri have also passed bans and sent them to their governors.
Tom McClusky, a lobbyist for the Family Research Council, is confident there will be "more actions like this."
Harned says there are 29 states total that are interested in working towards the additional ban.

About Imagination
Developing the active imagination will be useful in any phase of life, career, or project. It is especially helpful in developing new ideas for writers and artists and others who deal in ideas. There are four steps which will help to understand the process more thoroughly.
"Imagination," says Webster, "can frame things which are not." Henry Ward Beecher tells us that "it is the very secret and marrow of civilization." Sir Benjamin Brodie (one of the presidents of the Royal Society) says, "The imagination ... . is the noblest attribute of man; the source of poetic genius, the instrument of discovery in Science, without the aid of which Newton would never have invented fluxions, nor Davy have de-composed the earths and alkalies, nor would Columbus have found another continent." This sweeping statement forms the text upon which Professor Tyndall based his famous article on "The Scientific Use of the Imagination," in the course of which he says : "Out of the facts of chemistry the constructive imagination of Dalton formed the atomic theory. Davy was richly endowed with the imaginative faculty, while with Faraday its exercise was incessant, preceding, accompanying, and guiding all his experiments. His strength and fertility as a discoverer is to be referred in great part to the stimulus of his imagination The final form of the Pyramid expressed the thought of the human builder."
Ask it in the Memory & Brain Function forum
1. You must first stop the logical mind to give your unconscious a chance to come into play.
2. The unconscious will begin to function in fantasies, images, and emotions. Have pen and paper handy and write these down.
3. The ego will step up. There will be judgment of the material that has been written.
4. Conclusions are drawn and acted on.
Consciousness is forever correcting, helping, interfering, and never leaving the physic to grow in peace. You must come up with a way to set the critical, judging conscious ego aside. The ego must learn to observe uncritically, alert, but not filtering. It begins by observing quietly how the fantasy develops. An example of how the conscious interferes with active imagination is: You plant a row of trees and worry that the roots are not getting enough nutrients, and you dig them up to check. That's what the ego does to the growth process it intends to nurture.
To begin to develop your active imagination, you can carry a small pad around with you to make note of any fantasy of the imagination. Notice the ego's reaction. A ritual can help get into an imaginative mode. Maybe sitting alone in a quiet peaceful place will open your unconscious mind to day dreaming and fantasy.
Jung wrote,"The creative activity of imagination frees man from his bondage to the 'nothing but' and raises him to the status of one who plays." This is the status that must be reached before active imagination can begin. When the unconscious is heard, it's important to give it expression. There is nothing more damaging to the psyche than self deception. you can deceive your neighbor or your spouse but when you deceive yourself you become the victim of your unacknowledged inferiority's.
Once the voice of the unconscious is heard, the ego can confront it. From this moment on we can speak of an active imagination. Now is the time the ego's questions, doubts, and judgment will set in. It becomes critical that the ego recognize the inner event as being safe and real as an outer event. The conscious ego is like a watch dog guarding the gate. He has to know and trust the person to let him in. The ego has to confront the unconscious with the limitations and conditions of the human world. The unconscious recognizes the reality of their own world but are unaware of human reality until the ego informs them.
Now a relationship can be formed between the conscious and the active imagination. From the play as a child we have come to the realization of our inner life and how we can appreciate the influence it has on our ego and imagination by helping us make better decisions to lead a more fruitful, inspired life.
What this means to me is that you can use your imagination to create what your future can become. Challenge yourself to make your life match your vision. It does not matter what your current situation or circumstance is - you can use your imagination to transcend any situation that does not match your imagined destiny.
The key to developing imagination lies in developing capacity for divergent thinking problems or open-ended problems. Imagination is what we often refer to as divergent thinking also. Some of the basic principles involved in designing such problems and activities are as follows:
Design open-ended problems pertaining to the learning style of the child.
Gradually increase the complexity of the problems.
Complexity of the problems may be enhanced by designing difficult problems in one or multi intelligence situations.

Life Expectancy Grows with Age
The idea is that your life expectancy continues to grow as you age, so that the number of expected remaining years in your life will decline, but it declines at a slower rate than your increasing age.
This is illustrated below using median life expectancies, where there is a 50% probability of living past a certain age. This distribution is based on the Gompertz probability distribution function (which I will write more about that later time). The idea is that age 65, the person has a 50% chance of living 21.85 more years to just below age 87. The blue curve shows the remaining lifespan based on this age 65 calculation. By age 87, the number of remaining years is zero. Subsequent ages are beyond the age 65 life expectancy.
The red curve, on the other hand, shows the number of remaining years one has a 50% chance of still living, given that they've already survived to each subsequent age beyond 65. This is how things really work. Someone who is age 80 now has more than a 50% chance of living beyond age 87. They actually have a 50% chance of living to age 90. They can expect 10 more years. For someone who has lived to age 90, the remaining life expectancy is not zero. Given their age, they can still expect a 50% chance of living five more years.
This explains why it is a big mistake to use life expectancies at birth when thinking about how long one will live in their retirement. Once one has reached their retirement age, they should to live much longer than their life expectancy at birth because they were not a part of the population that died before the retirement age.

Excellent post Wade, and to the point. The dynamics of a changing distribution period, based on remaining life expectancy, has big implications for managing resources so one doesn't outlive them. A big reason for annual reviews to update everything that were last year's assumptions, with this year's facts.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks Larry, I wrote this as I was reading the big article, about which you should now have an email.
DeleteGompertz - interesting. Are you planning to go hardcore and address the potential failings at more extreme ages? IIRC, Gompertz had some issues with Centarians/Supercentarians (but what model doesn't?)
DeleteHi, thanks for the comment. No, I'm not really aiming to dig into that. It's a better topic for demographers to worry about. I'm just looking for something that is "good enough" to give helpful results.
DeleteWorks for me, haha. I think living past 100 (or 110) would be quite an interesting problem to have. Nice piece.
- Larry FrankJuly 11, 2013 at 3:17 PM
Hi Wade, judging by the fewer comments on this post compared to other posts I'm wagering a guess that the implications about longevity to retirement planning this post brings up hasn't resonated with many readers.
Retirement income withdrawal rates, using any method including stochastic or deterministic, require that a time be set for the distribution period. The implication of the red line is that the time period does not shrink as fast as the blue line. Thus, if one uses the blue line approach/assumptions in income calculations, the result is over spending relative to how much life may be remaining.
It may be tempting to think that the retiree doesn't need to worry about this until they reach 80, for example. However, the overspending will have occurred prior to that and thus, the remaining portfolio balance would be less compared to properly adjusting the time period for probable years remaining. The result of a lower balance is a much lower retirement income ... relative to managing the amount of the income over the prior years based on probable time remaining.
In sum, the effect of returns on income may be more exciting. However, the impact of which distribution period is used has a much greater relative effect on the question of prudent and sustainable income into future older years.
A great post which illustrates why distribution period is as much, or more, important to evaluation of retirement income. This is not a set and forget process, rather a dynamic one that requires annual review. The red curve is defintely an improvement but perhaps the most practical curve would be one that shows not the average life expectacy but the age that one will have a 95% chance of not living beyond.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks, I will try making one of those once I'm back to my work computer. I do have a feeling that such a figure will be less sensitive, i.e. the age that you have a 5% chance to outlive will increase more slowly over time as it will mostly be affected by the higher mortality rates coming at the later ages. In some sense that could get back to the idea people have of assuming a long retirement horizon which one is unlikely to outlive and then holding off making further adjustments until one is quite old. Though as one becomes quite old, at some point they may have a much harder time managing their retirement income strategy and maybe their advisor is getting old and entering retirement too.
So true. I remember reading this article on Cracked saying how the "every died at 40 during the Middle Ages" is just a myth. The reason why the average life expectancy was so low is because a lot of people died as children. If you made it past your first couple of years, 50 or 60 years was reasonable to expect.
ReplyDeleteHi Wade.
In response to your post, I crunched a few numbers using the Society of Actuaries life expectancy calculator to quantify the risk associated with developing a spending plan based on life expectancy (recalculated every 5 years with approximately a 50% probability of outliving the payout period) vs. one based on a 30% probability of outliving the payout period. I believe that the tables included in my post

We've made the move from countryside to somewhat less country-ish, and life is starting over all fresh and new. It's nice. I want to go live it, whatever it is.
It isn't what it has been for the length of our journey together here, my friends. In the main, social media has made personal blogging much less of an enclave, much less private. I'm no longer really comfortable writing a personal blog for all the world.
Along with that, there are just some things about WordPress.com's newer social features and its online identity system that aren't optimal. For me, they're demotivating for writing.
Commenting here gets messed up on a regular basis for non-registered users, and comments are my bloggy lifeblood.
Changes in the subscription system mean I have no idea if eleven people are reading this, or a couple thousand. Stats were the other main thing I relied upon to figure out my blogging direction.
I do know that last I checked, 1/3 to 1/2 the follower count is spam and suspended accounts. Can't find the real folk no more, and that number is no longer any kind of indicator how many might actually be interested in reading stuff if I write it.
In the years since establishing my editorial business, the blog on that site has mostly sat neglected. So, for the meantime, if anything I'll be compiling more writing and storytelling info over at Scienda Editorial.
My only for-certain item here at this blog will be to (eventually) release the book that came of the essays posted here.
Good night, Scienda. The world turns onward.

"We've historically done a good job appealing to women, but we're hoping this new series will get men to tune in as well," said Rob Sharenow, Lifetime's Executive Vice President of Programming. Like its predecessor, Army Husbands will be set at Ft. Marshall, a fictional Army post in North Charleston, SC. The show will follow the lives of four civilian men married to military servicemembers. Reggie, a 19-year-old commissary employee, abandoned his dreams of playing college basketball to move across the country with his new wife, a Private First Class. Reggie's inability to ever remember to log out of his Gmail account puts his marriage at risk. Kyle, a 22-year-old commissary employee, juggles the demands of marriage and trying to make it big with his shitty garage band. In the pilot episode, Kyle forgets to clear his Internet history, putting his marriage at risk. Tom, a 21-year-old commissary employee, is married to a female Infantryperson. Bored at home, he spends all her money on muscle cars and Tapout T-shirts. Whenever his wife is sent downrange, Tom puts his marriage at risk by going to bars and sleeping with wives of deployed soldiers. And finally Jared, a 32-year-old commissary employee and stay-at-home dad, feels unappreciated as he raises his preschool-age twins during the day and works stocking shelves at night. Jared's marriage is put to the test when his wife wakes up and catches him on the other side of the bed having sex with another woman. Military husbands are excited about the new show. "You know, I was concerned that the show would portray us as being somehow, oh I don't know, less-than-manly eunuch types with wives in the military," said Kevin Hardeman, a longtime military husband from Ft. Bragg who works in the deli department. "Fortunately, the show stayed away from negative stereotypes." Army Husbands airs Sunday nights in the 9:00 PM time slot, between Midwestern Woman with a Dark Secret and Vagina Central.

Buck Clay says: April 16, 2014 at 1:09 AM Clay, a stay-at-home dad and exotic dancer balances his marriage to Porche' a high-speed supply specialist whom is known for her expertise in the DoD stock of mattresses. Often Clay is seen increasing the credit-limit on their AAFES "Star" credit-card for groceries or at the unit S-1 office ensuring all of his ex-wives allotments of alimony are current. He often smokes and drinks from a flask while in the building boisterously screaming throughout the battalion area "Oh hell no, ain't none-of-now-nevers in here know what its like being an army huband, 'the toughest job in the army' and ain't no ranks be higher than civilian, that's right y'all best be listening to me." Clay asserts himself as the post Family Readiness Group (FRG) leader at FT. Bragg and doesn't let his current wife's low rank hold him back. At a recent wine & cheese mixer he reminded a gathering of wives of the General Staff "Ya'll bitches best not get cut in here or Condi is going to get another call and let's see how your husband likes command in Alaska." When Clay was later approached by a Star & Stripes reported about his fall from D.C. grace he sarcastically replied "My wife is named Porche' and the kid is mine, think about it." Clay is currently pursuing a law degree from the University of Phoenix online and hopes to mitigate he latest and future divorces with additional aspirations to renegotiate his contact Lifetime reality TV contract from co-star to mulit-season star. Stephen Yoda says: April 16, 2014 at 1:09 AM heh. id watch the fuck out of this show. leftoftheboom says: November 9, 2012 at 8:24 PM It works for Generals too! But you need to make one of them gay but unwilling to talk about it. Or they are both gay and just got "married" for the BAH. these things I say says: November 9, 2012 at 9:10 PM @leftoftheboom Could you possibly mean General Gay Best Friend? leftoftheboom says: November 9, 2012 at 9:31 PM @these things I say @leftoftheboom That works too. these things I say says: November 9, 2012 at 7:35 PM I think Lifetime would go for this. It's still about women. I mean, when not working at the commissary, they more or less have wives and there's the other women they're boning.

Musical Grudge Match: Johansson vs. Deschanel
Two actresses, Scarlett Johansson and Zooey Deschanel, have come to VF Daily to make it clear, once and for all, which one has made the better debut album.
A little background: Deschanel is an indie-style actress who falls somewhere between Catherine Keener and Ellen Page in age and attitude. She was cute and believable in Elf and has made a bunch of other movies I can't remember right now. Scarlett Johansson is a bona-fide movie-star-in-the-making, a process that has been slowed ever since she woke up one day and said to herself, "I wonder if I should get in on this whole late-period Woody Allen thing."
Deschanel writes her own songs and has performed in clubs for a number of years. She made her album, Volume One, with Portland-based singer-songwriter-guitarist-producer M. Ward (the mysterious "M." is for Matt) under the band name She & Him. Johansson worked with producer and multi-instrumentalist David Andrew Sitek, who's in the band TV on the Radio. The album they made together comprises 10 songs written or cowritten by Tom Waits and one original composition.
O.K. Here we go. We're going to take this song by song to determine the winner.
Track 1.
Johansson and Sitek kick off their album with a clunky remake of a Waits instrumental, "Fawn," that was thrilling in its original version. Deschanel and Ward leap into 1963-ish musical terrain with "Sentimental Heart," a decent opener. Track 1 goes to Deschanel.Track 2.
Johansson takes on "Town With No Cheer." Her voice sounds double-tracked, possibly triple-tracked, and it's swathed in reverb. You think: she can't sing. But it works. Deschanel's "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" is cute. By the end of it, doing all her own backing vocals, she pushes the limit of what she can do as a singer. Track 2 goes to Johansson.
The score is tied, 1–1.
Track 3.
For "Falling Down," Sitek brings in a chorus of let's-help-Scarlett backing vocalists—among them David Bowie. This is the Don Was school of production: when in doubt, bring on the celebrities. Deschanel's third track, "This Is Not a Test," would have made a nice addition to the Grace of My Heart soundtrack. Backing vocals are a little too busy. M. Ward: I blame you for the dumb "trumpet" solo, which almost ruins it. Track 3 to Deschanel.
Track 4.
Johansson is a drugged robot on "Anywhere I Lay My Head." Her vocals are once again double-tracked, swathed in effects, and buried in the mix, and one begins to think this album is more Sitek's vanity project than Johansson's. Deschanel's "Change Is Hard," with its lousy title, meh pedal-steel guitar, and "pitchy" singing, is pretty weak, but she wins this round, too. Just barely. Track 4 to Deschanel.
Track 5. Johansson and Sitek do nicely with "Fannin Street." Unfortunately, they are up against one of Deschanel's strongest songs, "I Thought I Saw Your Face Today," which comes complete with a Joan Didion allusion and a whistling solo. Track 5 to Deschanel.
Deschanel is riding a hot streak and now leads it, 4 - 1. Johansson has got to be feeling the heat here, people.
Track 6.
Deschanel gets all torchy with "Take It Back." It's not bad, not great. "Song for Jo," on the Johansson album, is the only non–Tom Waits track here. It's written by Johansson and Sitek. It's probably the best performance and recording on the record. Sounds like Cat Power and Cocteau Twins meeting up in an alley. Well, not an alley. More like a tea room or a funky old shop. Track 6 to Johansson.
Track 7.
"Green Grass" (Johansson) is just a mess. "I Was Made for You" (Deschanel) is cute and passable, but it's not something I want to hear again. Track 7 to neither Johansson nor Deschanel.
You've got to claim the crown if you want to wear it, ladies. Nobody's going to hand it to you. Deschanel leads, 4 - 2.
Track 8.
Johansson and Sitek do all right by "I Wish I Was in New Orleans." Deschanel and Ward have a lazy take on Smokey Robinson's "You Really Got a Hold on Me" that should fit right in on public radio. Track 8 to Johansson.
She's within one. She could tie it up with the next track.
Track 9.
Deschanel's "Black Hole" isn't a knockout, but it's not bad for a ninth song on an album. And what happened here, with Johansson and Sitek? Sounds like they are guilty of over-thinking it, with this tedious version of "I Don't Wanna Grow Up." They should have handled that one easily … but they just let it go. The Johansson fans know it, too, as do the TV on the Radio listeners out there. Track 9 to Deschanel.
Johansson needs to win the next two tracks to tie. Gonna be tough. Deschanel leads, 5–3.
Track 10.
Sitek slathers "No One Knows I'm Gone" in purty sounds. Deschanel's country-ish "Got Me" is forgettable. Track 10 to Johansson!
She's coming through in the clutch, with a little help, it must be said, from her producer and Monsieur Waits, whose act you may be sick of, but, hey, the man can write a song.
The score stands at 5–4. It will be interesting to see how each performer reacts to the pressure. Frankly, I don't know if they're ready for this kind of thing. This is tough, tough stuff, and these are not veteran performers we're talking about.
Track 11.
Deschanel and Ward chime in with a Beatles cover, "I Should Have Known Better." Interesting move. But I'm afraid it's not working. Nope. Not one bit. Look, it's hard to cover the Beatles well. Elton John did it. Chocolate Genius did a nice version of "Julia" a few years back. Other than that? Sinatra doing "Something"? Echh. And this lazy, sorta-kidding version of "I Should Have Known Better" might have been forgivable in a bar at 2 a.m.—but on record it's a disaster. Johansson closes her album with "Who Are You." Sounds like it's meant to be rousing, but it's a snooze. Sitek's production checks out of "interesting" and ventures into "cluttered." Track 11 to neither one.
Again, ladies, you have to go out there and win it. Can't just hope your opponent's gonna make a mistake and give it to you.
Not the greatest ending, but Deschanel wins, 5 - 4.
I'm a little surprised it was so close, because, overall, I like the She & Him album a lot more. Johansson was definitely helped out by the strength of the Tom Waits material she was working with. And maybe Deschanel should have gotten an extra point or two for writing her own stuff. Furthermore, the She & Him album has 13 tracks on it—and its 12th, "Sweet Darlin'," is probably the best thing on it, a loveable anthem co-written with Jason Schwartzman and worthy of Carole King.
Conclusion: Deschanel is the real deal. Johansson is just playing another role.

FreeFest: Will the real M.I.A. please show up?
By Chris Richards
Nevermind that her still-kinda-new and still-really-disappointing third album "MAYA" left so much to be desired. Here's hard proof that Brit pop provocateur M.I.A. has finally arrived as a rapper: She's operating on hip-hop time.
Which is to say, she's arriving whenever she feels like it.
Such was the case when M.I.A. posted nearly 30 minutes late for her headlining West Stage set at Virgin Mobile FreeFest, Saturday. Better never than late? Her performance felt like a jumble of incoherent beats and chanting rhymes delivered in a chirp that bordered on shrill.
She may be slumping in 2010, but M.I.A. made her name by making similarly impossible balancing acts sound easy on her first two albums, grafting her strangely enchanting voice to rhythms from every corner of the planet. And while she performed handfuls of those tunes to a rapidly thinning FreeFest crowd Saturday, the excitement of her breakout years felt far, far away.
"Remember how confusing it was in the beginning?" she asked the crowd between songs in a spaced-out countenance. "It's still like that."

The wired world of electronics and the net is beginning to affect us in ways that would have been regarded as SF only a few years ago. A rapidly developing area is variously called self-quantifying, self-tracking, body-hacking or life-logging.
The idea behind it is to record data from your everyday activities and use it to improve your life by changing your behaviour. Athletes have long been familiar with tracking variables such as the foods they eat, how much they sleep, the content of training sessions and other matters to help them achieve peak fitness. The difference today is that the widespread availability of smartphones with features such as GPS and accelerometers plus a big variety of apps means that everybody can join in.
People are monitoring their sleep rhythms to learn what combination of food and exercise gives them a really good night's sleep. Others are continually checking life signs to control medical conditions, including asthma and Parkinson's disease. Some are going further, sharing their data with groups of users to provide mutual support; these databases are becoming useful for researchers who are looking to identify behavioural factors that affect people's health.
Self-quantifying is being taken seriously by start-ups, in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, which are launching new devices and software aimed at self-trackers. It may even provide a glimpse of the future of health care, in which a greater emphasis is placed on monitoring, using a variety of gizmos, to prevent disease, prolong lives and reduce medical costs.
The Economist, 3 Mar. 2012.
With "life-loggers" and "quantified-selfers" now tracking all aspects of their own lives online, Little expects that freely available data of potential use to healthcare will become increasingly available.
New Scientist, 7 Jul. 2012.

I only have a few seeds of my very favorite tomato (Prize of the Trials) left. Seeds of Change no longer has them available. I had planned to save some last year- but no tomatos, no seeds:(
I have done a search and I am not familiar with the few companes who sell this variety. It seems like many here are not happy with Reimer seeds, but what about the other companies? Seven Acre Seeds
All comments are appreciated!
Follow-Up Postings:
Andria, I have ordered from Reimer seeds but only as a last resort. But overall I've had good results. I also see that Tomato Bob offers the seed also. I believe I have only ordered from him once and can't remember any problems so imagine things went ok. Jay |

"The founder of 'The Rent is Too Damn High Party' is outraged that in 2006, when he ran for governor, and three years later, when he ran for mayor, the board took the world 'Damn' off his ballot line." Officials say it was a matter of lack of space; in the last election they were able to accommodate his imprecation in the ballot heading by shortening the party title to, "Rent is 2 Damn High Party." He's representing himself and wants $350 million. [New York Post]

A health trust has won an award for "worst written nonsense" after being nominated by a Norfolk MP.
South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon put NHS Norfolk and Waveney forward for the Plain English Campaign's 2012 "Golden Bull" awards after receiving a letter from the Primary Care Trust.
Mr Bacon called on the organisation to cut out the "gobbledegook" after the letter said that the trust was obliged "to apply a negative financial uplift…in the sum of -1.8pc."
The Conservative MP said: "When an MP is talking gibberish in the Commons, other members can gently intervene to point this out. The Golden Bull Awards have allowed me to do the same for NHS Norfolk and Waveney, after the stream of gobbledegook in their letter left me baffled."
"I am sure that the team at NHS Norfolk and Waveney will take this award in good heart but there is a serious side to this. MPs write to a wide range of public sector bodies on behalf of our constituents. We want to be able to share the replies we receive, explain what they mean and give advice about what to do next. That is extremely difficult to do if we can't understand the letter ourselves." A spokesman for NHS Norfolk and Waveney said the letter was describing technical and complex issues. However, the trust should have chosen words that were easier to digest.

This fellow Bacon really does earn his substantial MP's remuneration. When he's not getting an award for being a smarty pants from his peer group at Westminster, he is trying to repeal our human rights, or indulging in some other stuff and nonsense like this. God knows what sort of constituency work he does, if any. Has he saved the Nationwide in Harleston yet?

Ha Ha ..... Pot and Kettle come to mind....never know a politician who has ever answered any question put to them ??? They are as just as bad with their B*llSh*t
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
It's no surprise that Mr Bacon can't understand technical terms, for someone who has attracted so much criticism over his laziness maybe it's just all too much for him to comprehend.
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
By the look of him he could do with the 30 min walk from his office in Diss to the Golf Club for his business breakfast. It would save him claiming the 72p each way car travel allowance as well!
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Does Bacon actually listen to PM's questions ?. The amout of rubbish, "gobbledegook" and incoherrent tripe spouted in the house of wasteminster beggers belief, and, no one actually gives a proper answer. Perhaps Bacons efforts should be directed towards his own, or is he frightened ?.

We commend women who can rock open-toe heels amidst the winter wind, but as the degrees continue to drop we've realized we need a warm and chic option to bear the weather. J. Mendel, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Vera Wang provide just that in their Pre-Fall 2013 collections. By styling calf high sheer stockings with open and closed-toe heels they offer a sleek and polished look. Channel this style by pairing stockings with the Reina or Marisca!
Happy Not 2012; that year totally blew…by, and the world didn't even bother ending. That's why we should all resolve to have a "spec"-tacular new year, starting with THE ACCESSORY of 2013, funglasses (they're like sunglasses but they don't shade the sun and might not even have lenses; they're just for fun).
Google me in these goggles circa the late '90s. Paid way too much for these circa the other day.
At first glance, funglasses might appear a little costume-y, but soon you'll see they're super costume-y and start playing my favorite game, dress-up. Here are some clichés to help share your vision.
Put the 'secret' in a 'secretary'' look with square faux frames and Neda. File it under "D" for Dazzling.
Not gonna librarian: funglasses are hot when you check out an eye-catching bag like Sebeka. Definitely stacked according to the Do-me Decimal system.
It's 2013 and a different world. That's why there's no Dwayne Way' we can forget about convertible shades. Spotify these funglasses with a shoe like Tasha. Lisa Monet will be proud.
Richy T. – Makes passes at people with glasses.
1. Hey Duke! How's your day been?
To be honest, it's a little ruff (pun intended) since the holidays and New Year's Eve parties were so fun. I really love sleeping in so today feels like a Monday…I'm a little grumpy.
2. That's OK. We think everyone's a little tired today. Next to making everyone's day at work, what are some of the other perks about being a dog at the job?
I'm surrounded by hot models who lavish attention on me all day long! Also, there are tons of oversized handbags everywhere that I can take naps on or in.
3. Now that doesn't sound bad at all. Let's talk about your human dad, Henry. We all know he's a great photographer, but what's he like? Does he ever make you steaks for dinner?
Henry is the best dad in the entire world. He always takes me on adventures in his fast car and makes sure that I am well-fed and and getting plenty of fresh air. I like to think that I help him out on photo shoots by helping break the ice and making everyone laugh with my antics.
4. We bet you'll get extra treats once Henry reads this! Next to sleeping, what's your favorite past-time activity?
I enjoy long walks on the beach, playing games on Henry's iPad, and listening to good tunes like "Take a Walk" by Passion Pit. It's also very nice to have the New York Times read aloud to me (I really like Wednesday's Dining & Wine section!). Most of my day is spent trying to get people to feed me snacks. Do you have any food?
5. Don't worry, you'll get a snack once we're done. What's your favorite kind of shoe?
High-top sneakers! I gotta get cool kicks like my dad's so we can match (have you seen my blue zip-up hoodie?!) and go running together.
6. That's what we thought but figured we should double check. Now, fill in the blank. The best part about being a dog is ___.
How easy it is to get people to love me. Also, the snacks.
7. Would you rather…chase after a squirrel or a cat?
Cats are my sworn enemy, but I try not to pay too much attention to them. Seriously, what sort of animal gets itself STUCK IN A TREE and needs rescuing? Lame, right? Squirrels and I are cool.
8. Last one. What's your favorite treat?
I really like hamburgers, but I only get a nibble or two of them once in awhile. Dad says they're not good for my health, but he's always having hamburger cook-off contests. Oh, and anything with bacon!
We're excited to eat!
Let's go for a run. Shop: sneaker wedges
