Getting ready to purchase a receiver. Will be certain to get one that is XM/Sirus ready. Also interested in internet radio. I have seen them on web sites but they all seem to need WiFi to receive the internet radio stations. I receive broadband via cable. Is it pretty easy to configure it to give a wifi signal? Has anyone had experience with internet radio yet? It seems like you could use your computer to bring in internet radio stations, but I prefer simplier method of having a radio that can directly tune the radio station. Any input would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I listen to internet radio all the time on my computer. Tomorrow, I believe, a certain jolly old elf is going to leave an internet radio at my house. I'll let you know if it works as advertised. If your cable modem does not already have a wireless access point, you will need to add a wireless access point to your router. It attaches with a single cable and should not be a problem to install although you may have to do some minor fiddling around with settings. You could also probably take your current modem back to your cable provider and swap it for a modem that already has wireless access. |
Yep, easy to use. I got a Tangent Quattro. I opened the box, plugged it in, and found first my network and then my favorite international station in less than 60 seconds. I've been happily exploring world news and poking around for classical and jazz stations. Right now I have WBEZ from Chicago playing and before that I was listening to the news from France on RFI. Amusingly, my favorite local station is not available, but I've already requested that its stream be added. Another option for you would be a Logitech Squeezebox, but that needs to be played through a receiver. |

Seeing successful aromatherapy businesses brings me great pleasure!
I believe in the healing potential of essential oils, and I love seeing businesses promoting all their varied uses–household cleaning and skin care, as well as emotional and physical well being.
So for those of you out there growing your businesses, I've put together some aromatherapy business tips. I hope you find them useful!
- Retail: What are your best-selling products? Can you create an additional, similar product with a twist? For example, if your lip balm sells really well, can you add a lip gloss, a new flavor, and a larger size? Remember to describe the differences between the products: the lip gloss for a special evening out, or the larger size lip balm for the winter months.
- Social networking: It's surprisingly easy to set up your own YouTube channel and create short educational videos. I'm amazed at how many people tell me they found our Aromahead Institute classes through one of my little videos!
- Photos: Can marketing your business really be as simple as taking photographs? There are several excellent, free sites to organize and store your photos. Aromahead Institute uses Flickr. When I ask students in our classes how they heard about Aromahead Institute, there are always a handful that say, "I saw your pictures and I just knew this was the right place for me." So much can be communicated about your business through your photos!
- Inspiration: Have you considered asking your friends on Facebook for suggestions on how to grow your business? Or another, more relevant question? Some of the best–and most generous–advice I have received has been in response to a question I asked on Facebook!
Please feel free to post your business tips in the comments section below–or ask a business question!

SAP to Answer Need for Highly Secure, Enterprise-Grade Mobile Content Management With Easy-to-Use Mobile App
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 26 February 2013 Release date- 25022013 - BARCELONA - To meet heavy demand for simple, highly secure file synchronization and sharing in the enterprise, SAP today announced the SAP Mobile Documents solution.
The new mobile content management solution aims to help increase user productivity by providing a single entry point to personal business documents and corporate content via any mobile device. SAP Mobile Documents is a standalone software solution and when combined with the industry-leading [1] SAP Afaria mobile device management solution, is planned to enable customers to experience a complete enterprise mobility management (EMM) platform for securing mobile devices, apps and content. The announcement was made at Mobile World Congress 2013, being held in Barcelona, Spain, February 25-28, where SAP is located at Hall 7, 7C70.
Today, businesses require access to content and files including videos, documents, spreadsheets and presentations on mobile devices. According to Gartner, 'iPads and other tablets have sparked interest in mobile file sync solutions. Consumer-based solutions are popular, but it's hard to find a secure, easy-to-administer enterprise-grade solution.'[2] Business content is often emailed and stored locally on mobile devices or stored on consumer-grade third-party file sharing sites, but these methods are deemed insecure by corporate IT departments. SAP Mobile Documents aims to help IT administrators centrally apply and enforce management and security policies to help ensure all corporate content is secure.
'Providing secure mobile access to critical content and data clearly is paramount for businesses. Our customers require a broad, easy-to-integrate enterprise mobility management platform for mobile security that covers everything from mobile device and application management, to mobile content management, and eventually the Internet-of-Things,' said Sanjay Poonen, president, Global Solutions, SAP. 'The release of SAP Mobile Documents and our support for third-party mobile content tools will help connect the vast amounts of content and data driven from millions of business-class devices and mobile apps via the cloud. This new level of business collaboration and productivity far exceeds what existed only a few short months ago.' 'In our 2012 study of more than 30 content management implementations, Nucleus found that second and third-generation content management investments like the new SAP Mobile Documents approach can drive greater productivity and more streamlined processes up to triple-digit ROI,' said Hyoun Park, principal analyst, Nucleus Research. 'In aggregate, our research determined that for every one dollar a company spends on content management, it can realize more than six dollars return on investment.'[3] SAP Runs SAP To address business level security requirements not met from consumer-grade mobile content management solutions, SAP developed an internal version of SAP Mobile Documents. Stemming from the widespread adoption of this internal version by more than 11,000 SAP employees, SAP recognized the need to bring the solution to market.
'SAP has more than 53,000 mobile users and many voiced the need for enterprise-caliber mobile content management based on their personal usage of popular cloud-based offerings,' said Oliver Bussmann, chief information officer, SAP. 'We created what is now known as SAP Mobile Documents and its rapid adoption exposed a significant void in the market. This led to a highly collaborative internal development effort by our IT and product development teams to enhance SAP Mobile Documents and make it market-ready. And by pairing SAP Mobile Documents with SAP Afaria, businesses experience an extremely robust EMM platform.' Single Access Point to all Corporate Content Through the adoption of SAP Mobile Documents, businesses large and small are planned to have multi-device access to all content through a single entry point. This aims to help ensure that employees have access to all of their personal business documents and corporate content, which is critical for workers who need the most current information at their fingertips.
'Our employees need to securely share documents on their mobile devices and we simply cannot risk using a consumer-grade solution,' said Quentin Hurst, director business system applications, Nuvasive. 'Managing mobile content is an important part of our entire mobile strategy, and we need an enterprise-grade solution that will help us increase employee productivity by providing access to the content our users need to get their job done.' SAP addresses enterprise-grade mobile content management and security in four critical areas: authentication, encryption, compliance and sharing. Key features of SAP Mobile Documents are planned to include: A software development kit (SDK) for easily embedding powerful, secure file distribution capabilities into SAP and non-SAP applications Individual file sync so users can access the content they want, when they want it Corporate shared documents so enterprises can publish documents to user groups who need specified content Simplified interoperability with enterprise content management platforms, such as Sharepoint and the SAP Netweaver Portal component, through the open Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard for the utmost level of flexibility, credibility and control Secure use cases for personal file access to portal content, knowledge management resources and Microsoft SharePoint Open Choice for Customers The mobile content management solution set from SAP helps ensure customer choice through a variety of internally and partner-developed products designed to meet the wide-ranging content needs for today's businesses. For customers that have already implemented a mobile content management solution, SAP Afaria provides an additional level of confidence that the mobile devices accessing company documents are business-ready and secure. SAP Afaria supports leading enterprise mobile content management vendors - including Accellion, Alfresco, Box, OpenText, Soonr, WatchDox and YouSendIt - to help ensure companies minimize security risk while continuing with their existing solutions. To read more from these vendors, see: 'Quote Sheet: SAP to Answer Need for Highly Secure, Enterprise-Grade Mobile Content Management.' Both SAP Mobile Documents and SAP Afaria are planned to be available on premise and in the cloud. For more information, register for: 'Webinar: Introducing SAP Mobile Documents' on March 20, and 'Gartner Webinar: Tackling the Risk of Corporate Content on Mobile Devices' on March 21. For a closer look, see: 'Video: SAP Mobile Documents.' For more information, including additonal news from SAP at Mobile World Congress, visit the SAP Newsroom.

About Us
About the Project
The China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset - Liaoning (CMGPD-LN) has 1.5 million triennial observations of more than 260,000 residents from approximately 698 communities in the northeast Chinese province of Liaoning between 1749 and 1909. The data provide socioeconomic, demographic, and other characteristics for individuals, households, and communities, and record demographic outcomes such as marriage, reproduction and death. The data also record specific disabilities for a subset of adult males. Through record linkage, paternal pedigrees may be reconstructed as far back as seven generations, and kin living outside the household may be identified. Recording of community of residence allows for spatial analysis via GIS techniques. The CMGPD-LN is unique among publicly available population databases because of its time span, volume, detail, and completeness of recording, including inter-community and inter-regional migration within much of Liaoning, and because it provides longitudinal data not just on individuals, but on their households, descent groups, and communities for as many as seven generations. Possible applications of the dataset include the study of relationships between demographic behavior, family organization, and socioeconomic status across the life course and across generations, the influence of region and community on demographic outcomes, and development and assessment of quantitative methods for the analysis of complex longitudinal datasets.
About the Researchers
Cameron Campbell is Professor of Sociology at UCLA. He received his BS from Caltech, his MA and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and was an NICHD postdoc at the University of Michigan Population Studies Center. His research focuses on the relationships between social organization, family decision-making, and demographic behavior. He has published extensively on family and population in eighteenth and nineteenth century northeast China, most notably the book Fate and Fortune in Rural China with James Lee. Recently he has published papers on ethnic identity and social mobility, and presented work on disability. He is also a participant in the Eurasia project, an international collaboration that compares relationships between economic conditions, household organization, and demographic behavior for a variety of historical European and Asian communities. He is co-author of a volume from this effort, Life Under Pressure, published by MIT Press, that examines how household responses to economic stress were reflected in mortality patterns. With James Lee, he is currently working on a study of changes in family and kinship in northeast China from the seventeenth century to the present.
Shuang Chen is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Iowa. She received her BA and MA in History from Peking University and her PhD in History from the University of Michigan. She joined the University of Iowa in August 2010, after spending a year as a post-doctoral research fellow at ICPSR on the CMGPD-LN project. Professor Chen specializes in the social, economic, and political history of late imperial and modern China. Her research interests include ethnicity, frontier settlement, population behavior, and social stratification. As a member of the Lee-Campbell research group, she has worked closely with James Lee and Cameron Campbell on the analysis of historical demographic and socioeconomic data drawn from population and land registers. Currently, she is working on a book manuscript on interactions between wealth stratification, demographic processes, and institutional context that is based on her PhD dissertation and examines the settlement history and the subsequent evolution of inequality in land ownership in Shuangcheng County, Heilongjiang, in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
James Z. Lee (1952 -) is Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Faculty Associate at the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan, and Changjiang Scholar in Sociology at Peking University. A practitioner of social scientific history, the application of quantitative social science methods on historical data, he and his colleagues in the Lee-Campbell Research Group link historical and contemporary archival sources, social surveys, genealogies, inscriptions, and oral histories to create large individual level panel data sets extending from late imperial to contemporary China. Their research emphasize how despite recent profound political, social, and economic changes, many distinctive institutions and patterns of demographic behavior, stratification, and social mobility persist from China's imperial past.
Professor Lee's published work includes six authored or co-authored books, five co-edited books, and fifty articles focused largely on the demography, ethnicity, fiscal and frontier history of late imperial China, as well as on the social organization, and social mobility of late imperial and contemporary China. He has recently extended his area of research from historical China to the comparative demography and sociology of other East Asian and West European populations in the past and China and Zambia in the present. A John Simon Guggenheim Fellow (2004), he is also a recipient of the Social Science History Association's Allan Sharlin Award for Best Book in Social Science History (2000), and two American Sociological Association section best book awards, the Otis Dudley Duncan Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Social Demography from the Population Section (2000) and the Outstanding Book on Asia published in 2003 and 2004 from the Asia and Asian America Section (2005). His book, La population chinoise. Mythes et réalités (Presses de l'Université de Montréal, 2006) was a finalist for the 2007 Prix Jean-Charles-Falardeau for best French-language book in the Social Sciences from The Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. His latest book, Prudence and Pressure: Reproduction and Human Agency in Europe and Asia, 1700-1900 was just published by MIT Press in 2010.
Susan Hautaniemi Leonard is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research as well as a Research Affiliate with the Population Studies Center, University of Michigan. Dr. Leonard's work focuses on the relationship between human populations and their environments. Her research interests include historical epidemiology and mortality in emergent industrial areas; and household dynamics, farming practices and population dynamics in grasslands settlement.
The photographs that appear on this site were taken during visits to Liaoning by Lee, Campbell and other members of their team.

Once again, I've fallen behind on my idealized blog posting rate. And not for any good reason. (Though I am working on a new (kinda-sorta) project, to be announced at a later date.)
It's sure not for a lack of things to write about. Goodness knows, dudes n' dudettes are always suggesting those.
Here are some of the topics I could have blogged about in recent days:
yep, she married the guy in the top picture.
Bertha, the humungous deep-bore (or deeply boring) tunnel digging machine, is still stuck under the ground, and won't resume creating an underground Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement highway until perhaps some time next year.
But that delay won't stop the rest of the total central-waterfront makeover from going forward.
A new seawall (which won't protect us from long-term rising sea levels) will resume construction any month now, following a summer hiatus.
And the planning stages for a post-viaduct remake of Alaskan Way's real estate, combining a surface street with a mile-long pedestrian/recreational "promenade," continue apace.
At the end of May, the Seattle Office of the Waterfront (waterfrontseattle.org) released a new set of drawings and paintings depicting the project's latest plans.
Unlike the project organizers' previous set of sketches, which some online pundits snarked at for depicting all lily-white citizens enjoying the sights, these new illustrations show a healthy variety of skin tones on their make-believe happy citizens.
But the images still depict sizable groups of adults and kids walking about and enjoying sunny, warm days near Elliott Bay.
Days which, as anyone who actually lives here knows, are both precious and rare.
What would this landscaped playground look like the rest of the time?
It would probably look as barren and windswept and unpopulated as the waterfront mostly looks now during the wintertime, only prettier. (Which would, at least, make it friendlier to early-morning joggers and bicycle commuters.)
And, unlike some of the Waterfront Project's earlier conceptual images, these new paintings don't make the place seem too precious, too upscale, too (to use a far overused term these days) "world class."
This is good.
It's not so good that the fictional laid-back and mellow waterfront enjoyers in the images aren't doing much of anything.
One image shows some kids splashing around a set of small, floor-level fountains (officially called a "water feature element") at the planned Union Street Pier (to be built between the Great Wheel and the Seattle Aquarium).
Another image shows a few mellow aging-hipster couples (apparently all hetero) waltzing to the tunes of a small acoustic combo at the same Union Street site at dusk (with the "water feature element" turned off).
Otherwise, the fantasized open-space enjoyers are seen mostly just standing, sitting, strolling, bicycling, and talking on cell phones.
We don't need a civic "front lawn;" the Olympic Sculpture Park already serves that function.
We need a civic "back yard."
If we can't have industry on the central waterfront in the container-cargo age, we can at least have industrious leisure there.
I want (at least seasonally) food trucks and hot dog carts, art fairs and circus/vaudeville acts. I want a summer concert series like the waterfront had years ago. I want a roller coaster to complement the Seattle Great Wheel, and smaller amusement attractions and rides nearby (finally replacing Seattle Center's sorely missed Fun Forest).
Some of these events and attractions would require ongoing funding. The Waterfront Project doesn't have that funding authority; its duty is only to design and build the promenade and to rebuild piers 62-63, using a part of the funding for the viaduct replacement.
So activities in this area, along the promenade and the rebuilt piers 62/63, would need to be supported separately. The Seattle Parks Department is having enough trouble supporting its current operations. But a semi-commercial amusement area, with concession and ride operators paying franchise fees, could support a variety of warm-weather-season activities and at least some off-season events.
(Cross posted with City Living Seattle.)
It's usually awkward to be outed as a flaming racist.
It's infinitely worse when you are in certain lines of business.
Owning a professional basketball team is one of those lines of business.
So, after all hopes of the scandal "blowing over" evaporated, rookie NBA commissioner Adam Silver put a "banned for life" fatwa on LA Clippers owner/racist/adulterer Donald Sterling.
This means, among other things, that Sterling can't attend games or take an active management role in the team that he still, for now, majority-owns. He'll be encouraged, but apparently not forced (at least not yet), to sell the team. That last part could conceivably lead to a court case.
Yet, already the rumors are abuzz that the Clippers could (just could, mind you) potentially move to Seattle.
Obviously a lot would need to occur for that to happen.
Sterling would need to be eased, or forced, out.
Other LA buyers would have to be turned down in favor of Steve Ballmer and Chris Hansen. (Former Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz has supposedly talked, or been talked about, about fronting a group to buy the team.)
The Clippers' share of Staples Center would have to be sold back to the Lakers and the NHL's LA Kings.
The league's other team owners would have to be convinced that having two teams in the #2 TV market (even if that second team is the traditionally hapless Clippers) would be less lucrative than regaining a team in the #12 TV market.
But think of the possibilities: If the Clippers were co-owned by an ex-Microsoft CEO, they could bring back the old Windows Office Assistant mascot "Clippy"!
Since most of my most loyal readers will have other things to do on Sunday afternoon, here's some relatively timeless randomosity for whenever you log back in:
(The title of this post continues with the Sinatra-esque title treatment of the previous post.)
The Seahawks are off to the Super Bowl for the second time in team history. Just like the last time, you can expect all the national media to be against us. It's going to be all "THE GREAT LEGENDARY PEYTON MANNING and some other team."
Or that's how it was going to be, until certain online commentators found a hate object.
Yeah, Richard Sherman is loud.
Yeah, he talked like a trash-talking wrestler during his impromptu sideline interview just after the game.
No, he was not, and is not, a "goon" or a "thug." (He's really a thoughtful young man who gives generously to charity.)
And no, his remarks do not justify idiotic racist bigotry.
The game's striking ending, in which Sherman's tip-away of a touchdown pass preserved the Seahawks' lead with less than half a minute to go, was the climax of a huge day that capped a huge season.
It had been a day of high hopes and high fears.
The 2013-14 Seahawks had united this region in ways I didn't think possible. Even some sports-hating hippies got into the fever.
The pregame festivities outside the stadium were a glorious cacophony of enthusiasm, pride, joy, and (yes) love.
And, yeah, maybe a little bit of bragging. Like when a lot of us noticed that one of the two Pioneer Square bars taken over by 49er fans was the New Orleans—namesake of the Seahawks' previous playoff conquest.
(The "pegging" in the above photo was only with small water balloons, and was a school fundraiser, though they never said for which school.)
A nice lady gave me this cupcake decorated with Skittles (a product of Mars, originally founded in Tacoma), and a plastic kid-size Seahawks helmet ring.
Eventually, though, it came time to gather inside the stadium, to private parties, or to bars (such as Safeco Field's "The 'Pen"; yes, the Mariners learned to make a few bucks from a neighbor team's success). I dutifully found myself back in Belltown, cheering on the team with about 40 other rabid fans.
And, as you undoubtedly know by now, it was a knuckle biter of an experience.
Our boys were down (but not by much) the entire first half, broken by a short-lived tie in the third quarter. They only took the lead early in the fourth quarter, and held precariously to that lead until Sherman's final pass deflection.
The whole bar I was at became noisy as hell after that, and remained that way for a good half hour afterward.
Then the party spilled into the streets, with revelers driving and marching up First Avenue from the stadium. Revelry continued well into the night.
Something tells me the Super Bowl itself (which will occur in East Rutherford NJ, despite what the promo ads may say), even when we win it, might feel anticlimactic in comparison.
via gaijintonic.com
A long-delayed batch of randomosity (the first in more than a month) begins with the discovery of the newest local "mainstream microbrew." Underachiever Lager appears to have begun as a promo vehicle for Tacoma designer-casual-wear company Imperial Motion, but is now being rolled out as its own thang in select local bars.

It is the quintessential Northwest cafe—rustic industrial meets cozy 1950s Modern nostalgia in a beautiful, double-height corner space. It manages to feel warm, inviting, and communal all at once, even when the acres of windows are filled with oppressively gray Seattle skies.
University of Virginia demographer Justin Cable has put together an elaborate "Racial Dot Map of the U.S."
He's placed a dot for every American resident listed in the 2010 census on a giant digital map of the 48 contiguous states. Each dot is color-coded for that particular American's ethnicity.
It's eminently zoomable, so you can see how integrated any particular city is, or isn't.
Looking at Seattle, we find:
imagined audio-book listeners on a train, 1894
Back in the early days of telephones and phonograph records (1894 to be precise), essayist Octave Uzanne claimed "The End of Books" would soon be at hand. Uzanne predicted people would much rather listen to storytellers (with what are now called audio books) than read:
Our eyes are made to see and reflect the beauties of nature, and not to wear themselves out in the reading of texts; they have been too long abused, and I like to fancy that some one will soon discover the need there is that they should be relieved by laying a greater burden upon our ears. This will be to establish an equitable compensation in our general physical economy.

The Epies slope
Still during our weekend in Lyon, next stop: the Epies slope. We did sweat a lot in this slopy street. The kind where you quickly get breathless, bent back and hands on your knees. Then looking behind you, proud to reach such heights, by climbing actually. Even prouder when you just went through Lyon city center back and forth. Harsh… less to say is that a comfortable outfit is more thant required to climb this abrupt slope. I have liked this parka as soon as I discovered it. Not that heavy, long enough to protect from Spring winds, I have to confess this is one of my season's favourites. Yellow is not the easiest color to match, as it can give you a certain skin complexion – you should sometimes try to get a tan, sir – but the outfit features many yellow echoes. Maybe I'd like to wear the Yellow Jersey and climb "hors catégories" mountains. I'll only take Gin tonic and Taga strawberries, promised!

Steyn gatecrashes Vaughan's 50th party
Posted in England v South Africa - 2008
So, the first day of Michael Vaughan's 50th Test as England captain did not go as he would have wanted.
Having lost the toss and been put into bat under overcast skies on his home ground, Headingley Carnegie, he fell for nought to a snorter from Dale Steyn.
Vaughan will hope that his fortunes improve during the remainder of the second npower Test having also failed to register a meaningful score in England's only innings at Lord's.
Steyn was also his undoing on that occasion with another virtually unplayable delivery that uprooted his off stump.
Vaughan received another ball today that would have done for any batsman, taking the outside edge to the safe hands of Graeme Smith at first slip.
Steyn's delivery was moving away from the right-hander when it pitched on a near-perfect length and kissed high up on the outside edge.
Vaughan, whose first Test as captain was also against the Proteas, at Lord's in 2003, has experienced mixed fortunes against the South Africans.
That inaugural Test as skipper five years ago ended in defeat, having taken the reigns from Nasser Hussain after the drawn first Test at Edgbaston.
Earlier that summer Vaughan had taken over the one-day captaincy from Hussain following the 2003 World Cup - a somewhat surprising memory given Vaughan's absence from the current one-day side.
He quickly asserted himself in the Test arena as England struck back at Trent Bridge and again at the Oval to draw the series.
Vaughan took England one better in his next meeting with Smith's side during the 2004/5 winter tour.
The tourists' 2-1 victory in the Test series was the highlight of the Yorkshireman's Test career, even better than the 3-0 demolition of West Indies the previous winter.
The 2005 Ashes victory, of course, superseded all Vaughan's previous achievements as captain and meant the following years would carry an extra burden of expectation.
A knee injury saw him return home early from the following tour of Pakistan and Vaughan's knees would trouble him for much of the next two years.
This included England's Ashes defence in 2006/7 when Vaughan's astute decision-making and ability to motivate his team-mates was sorely missed.
Vaughan returned to the Test arena last summer, continuing as captain, and fortunately his knees have stood up to the subsequent action.
Naturally, thoughts of Australia's return next summer will be in the corner of is mind but for now he must concentrate on the current opposition who are second only to the Aussies.
Finger's crossed, his half-centenary Test in charge will deliver greater rewards in the days to come.

"The X Factor" judge Simon Cowell is embracing his new role as a dad.
In an interview with Times of London, Cowell described how "surreal" it was to see the first ultrasound of his baby with girlfriend Lauren Silverman.
He joked that becoming a father will not make him any less mean when it comes time to judge the "X Factor" talent. Simon said, "I can assure you, I won't go soft."

King to meet Obama
Queen Elizabeth II meets PM Yingluck
Royalty and diplomacy were very much in the news yesterday in reports coming out of London.
First, it was officially announced that US President Barack Obama will be granted an audience with His Majesty the King on Sunday during his official trip to Thailand.
The King, who is staying at Siriraj Hospital, has allowed for the special greeting, which is scheduled to take place at 5pm before the US leader meets Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on the same day, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said from London.
He is accompanying Ms Yingluck on her official visit to the United Kingdom.
In London, Buckingham Palace, the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, reported that the Queen had granted an audience to the Thai Prime Minister.
The audience had been arranged by British Prime Minister David Cameron to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
England and Thailand are also celebrating 400 years of trade relations this year, and the embassy in London is among the oldest Thai missions worldwide.
Thai Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Pasan Teparak, said that the prime minister's audience with the Queen was a sign that the Kingdom's international standing was back to normal after the recent political turmoil.
Neither the prime minister's elder brother, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, nor her predecessor Abhisit Vejjajiva were granted audiences during their officials visits to the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in Bangkok, all venues Mr Obama will visit, including Siriraj Hospital and Government House, and the streets he will travel through will be under close watch, police chief Kamronwit Thoopkrachang said.
US security officers will also tail the president by land, as well as by air with a helicopter.
The Royal Thai Air Force, together with its Security Force Command and police officers, will work with US officers to maintain security at Don Mueang airport where Air Force One will land, Royal Thai Air Force spokesman Monthon Satchukon said.

The rupee on Friday posted its biggest jump in the last 17 months by gaining 74 paise to close at a one-month high amid signs of fresh capital inflows after a deal to resolve the eurozone debt crisis that sparked an intense dollar selling here.
Completing straight three-session of gaining string, the rupee settled at 48.76/77, up by 74 paise or 1.49 per cent, over its last close on October 25, 2011. Market was closed on October 26 and 27 on account of Diwali.
Previously, the rupee had risen by 94 paise or 1.99 per cent on May 28, 2010.

Euro recovered some of its early losses after a deal made by the European leaders to resolve region's debt crisis backed the rally in riskier assets, helping the rupee to perform.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit opened 60 paise higher at 48.90/91 a dollar from Tuesday's close of 49.50/51 and immediately touched the day's low of 48.94.
But, strong jump in stocks amid dollar selling by some banks and exporters on expectations of further fall in dollar value after European deal.
The rupee later touched a high of 48.7350 before ending at 48.76/77.
The dollar index was up by over 0.1 per cent against its major rivals while New York crude oil was trading above $2 a barrel in European market on Friday

The benchmark six-onth forward dollar premium payable in April ended up at 108-111 paise from last close of 102-104 paise and far-forward contracts maturing in October finished strong at 159-1/2-161-1/2 paise from 148-150 paise previously.

Mars Attacks! (1996)
Tim Burton's surreal B movie parody features classic big-brained aliens on a mission to take over the world. Their weird laugh (made by reversing a duck's quack) and mad stare make for a hilarious enemy: terrorising cities while holding a translator spouting "we come in peace". The film features a massive ensemble cast, including Jack Nicholson (twice) and an early appearance by Natalie Portman – though it's Tom Jones who steals the show with his campy escape from Las Vegas.
More after the break...

LSU 10: Imported stars
By Gary Laney
Georgia native Zach Mettenberger will look to have a big senior season under new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
BATON ROUGE, La. -- No state produces more NFL players per capita than the Bayou State. And LSU gets the lion's share of those players. It's a winning formula.
But it wouldn't be true to say LSU wins with Louisiana talent and Louisiana talent alone. LSU has been a draw for players outside of the state for years and recent success -- two national titles and three BCS title game appearances since 2003 -- has only increased it. This year's team has plenty of key players from outside the state lines.
So while 14 of LSU's starting 22 positions were held by Louisianians at the end of spring, there are plenty of out-of-staters who will make an impact:
Zach Mettenberger
(Sr., Watkinsville, Ga.):
LSU has not signed a Louisiana quarterback since
Jordan Jefferson
in 2008 and after some recruiting misses and defections had to scramble to find Mettenberger, a former Georgia quarterback who was dismissed from the team and transferred to a junior college. If LSU is to improve offensively, it will be largely because Mettenberger, whose numbers (2,609 passing yards in 2012) were hardly awe-inspiring, improves under new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
Vadal Alexander
(So., Buford, Ga.):
Alexander became the starter at right tackle because of injuries and departures last season and showed a lot of promise. One of the larger human beings in the SEC -- the latest LSU roster lists him at 6-foot-6, 350 pounds -- Alexander forms a potentially dominant right side along with fellow sophomore
Trai Turner
Craig Loston
(Sr., Houston):
Loston will be one of the defense's senior leaders as one of two returning starters in the secondary and one of just three returning defensive starters overall. Highly touted coming out of high school, Loston has yet to play like an elite recruit, but with the youth on defense, this might be his year.
Jalen Mills
(So., DeSoto, Texas):
After Tyrann Mathieu was kicked off the team last season, Mills stepped right in and hardly played like a freshman. He has the opportunity to carry the banner for the cornerbacks at "DBU." LSU has produced five NFL draft picks in the last three seasons.
Josh Williford
(Sr., Dothan, Ala.):
Lost for the second half of last season to injury, Williford looks to be this year's
Josh Dworaczyk
, who came back from injury and moved from guard to left tackle in 2012 to provide leadership to the line. Williford, like Dworaczyk, is changing positions (left guard, after playing right guard prior to his injury) and, like Dworaczyk, is being asked to be versatile. He could get playing time at center.
Ego Ferguson
(Jr., Frederick, Md.):
LSU lost both starting defensive tackles, but many think Ferguson and
Anthony Johnson
might prove to be a better starting tandem than last year's duo of Bennie Logan and
Josh Downs
Quantavius Leslie
(Jr., Hogansville, Ga.):
The junior college transfer is expected to make a quick impact at receiver. While Mettenberger returns all his top receivers, he lacked the big, downfield home run threat. Leslie, listed by LSU at 6-4, is being brought in to play exactly that role.
Jamie Keehn
(So., Miners Rest, Queensland, Australia):
Keehn has big shoes to fill from fellow Aussie Brad Wing, who left the Tigers after his sophomore year to try his luck in the NFL. Keehn -- a former Australian junior national champion in both the javelin and in rowing -- is a better athlete than Wing.
Danielle Hunter
(So., Houston):
LSU lost two outstanding pass-rushing ends in Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery. If the Tigers are to have another dominant pass rusher this year, it will likely be the athletic, young Hunter, who barely sniffed the field for significant snaps in what was a deep and experienced position group last season.
J.C. Copeland
(Sr., LaGrange, Ga.):
Copeland is one of the SEC's best blocking fullbacks. The question is, how often will LSU use a fullback in Cam Cameron's offense?

text: Sanbianjiu, or three-penis wine, is believed to improve sexual performance. Photo: CFP Chinese you need: Snake:蛇 (shé) If a Chinese friend pours you a drink from a big jar of brown fluid with a snake or some animal parts in it, go ahead and try it, for the sake of your health. It's not a trendy cocktail, but a jar of home-made Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) alcohol, called yaojiu. The liquor usually has a color of light amber, and gives out a strong odor of alcohol and a rich aroma of herbs. It tastes bitter and spicy in your mouth, with a mellow aftertaste and a subtle sweetness which makes the sharp taste of the medicine almost unnoticeable. Later you'll feel warmth in the stomach that will soon spread all over your body. "It'll have a powerful kick later on the drinker, so a small dose of 25 milliliters each time will be enough," said Shu Wanting, 41, a TCM doctor with 10 years of experience in treating diseases using medicinal wine. Her specialty is "health and longevity," known as yangsheng in Chinese. Sexy and intoxicating According to Shu, Chinese people who drink medicinal liquor have two main purposes - to live longer and healthier, or to cure a chronic disease, such as rheumatism or kidney problems. There are many varieties of medicinal liquor, with different materials steeped inside, including plants and animal body parts. The most famous and popular types include ginseng wine, fleece-flower root wine, velvet antler (the horn of a deer) wine, tiger bones wine, five-snake wine and three-penis wine. Among those, the three-penis wine, or sanbianjiu, attracts the most curiosity. It is believed that the liquor, usually made with the penises of dogs, stags and bulls, can enhance body strength and improve sexual performance, by activating the blood circulation and promoting the flow of qi, the fundamental life force or energy in Chinese medicine. Shu said that taking this aphrodisiac wine can be effective at first, but noted that long-term usage could be harmful. "Since qi in the human body is limited, premature withdrawal of qi is not a solution," she said. Snake wine is made with several kinds of poisonous snakes to cure rheumatism and skin diseases. So is the liquor poison? Actually, snake venom is essentially proteases, which will lose their toxicity in organic solvents with high concentrations of alcohol, according to Ma Hongyi, 32, another yaojiu expert. Time-honored and valued Ma runs an online store called Jiutouchong, selling yaojiu made according to formulas handed down from his ancestors. In fact, making medicinal alcohol has been a time-honored tradition in China since the Shang Dynasty (C.1600-1046BC). Other Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, also share this method of keeping healthy and curing diseases. In TCM theories, alcohol ranks best of all medicinal materials, and the combination of alcohol and medicines can enhance the efficacy of the drug. Shu told the Global Times that alcohol is good solvent, so active elements can be easily separated and dissolved into the fluid. "The alcohol goes directly into the blood, which brings the medicines into action immediately," Shu noted. Many Chinese buy medicinal alcohol from stores, and many make it on their own, such as Joyce Duan, 26, a Chinese calligraphy teacher. Several months ago, Duan took her husband, who suffers a constant pain in his knee joints, to a TCM doctor for advice. The doctor wrote out a prescription and told them to make medicinal liquor according to the formula. So Duan followed the doctor's instructions to the letter. She put exactly 10 grams of corydalis tuber, 20 grams of cyathula roots, 10 grams of safflower, and other medicinal ingredients, into 1.5 liters of baijiu (white liquor) and kept it for three months. The liquor turned out to be very effective for relieving her husband's pains, and it also cured several other of Duan's family members who suffered from rheumatism. Carefully made and enjoyed Neither as bitter as the traditional herbal medicines, nor as harmful as the modern treatment of intramuscular injections, a cup of mellow, fragrant medicinal wine seems to be a good choice. But experts warn it is not for everyone. "It's very risky for pregnant women and people who are taking certain medicines to drink yaojiu," Ma said. "The best timing is before each meal, and the best dose is 25 milliliters, not too much," Shu noted. Additionally, people should know their own physical conditions and choose a suitable wine with the right ingredients. "For example, if you're a young man in full vigor, wine with deer horns, which easily causes nose bleeding, is probably not a good idea," said Shu. Shu also suggests that, to make some on your own, getting a prescription from TCM doctor is the first thing to do. Steep the materials in 45 percent alcohol baijiu, and avoid direct sunshine. One or two months will be enough for steeping botanical medicines, but animal parts need more time. Since the autumn is a season of "toxic heat and dryness" in TCM theories, people should be extra careful in drinking yaojiu, according to Shu. "These days liquor that is made to nourish yin by boosting body fluids and nourishing the blood, such as wine with dendrobium species inside, is preferred," Shu added. |

On Wednesday at 6:16 p.m., Gary Carl Simmons, 49, was executed by the state of Mississippi for a 1996 murder, in which Simmons, a butcher by trade, hacked his victim up with a cleaver and fed the man's remains to alligators. Then he raped the dead man's girlfriend.
Less than two hours before he received a lethal injection, prison officials noted that Simmons appeared "slightly more upbeat," had refused a sedative and a shower, and eaten "at least half of his last meal… [having] sampled everything except one bag of chips."
Moments before he was put to death, Simmons was "still eating" his last meal, according to a prison briefing.
The following list, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, is what that last meal consisted of — a menu totaling nearly 30,000 calories:
- 1 Pizza Hut Super Supreme pizza: tomato sauce, mushrooms, onions, jalapeño pepper slices and pepperoni
- 1 regular pizza: 3 cheeses, olives, bell peppers, tomato, garlic and Italian sausage
- 10 (8 oz) packs of Parmesan cheese
- 10 (8 oz) packs of Ranch dressing
- 1 (16 oz) family size bag of Doritos nacho cheese chips
- 8 oz of jalapeño nacho cheese
- 4o sliced jalapeño peppers
- 2 large strawberry milkshakes
- 2 (20 oz) Cherry Coke
- 1 super-sized order McDonald's French fries (extra ketchup and mayonnaise)
- 2 pints strawberry ice cream
