"It's not like a direct thing," Tim says from Sydney, Australia, "but I think it may have affected Neil's thinking in the sense that everything we've done with this project has been pleasurable, and we've kept it that way quite deliberately. We've only done the press and the touring that we've wanted to do, and we paid for the record ourselves so there's no sort of feeling of debt to anybody.
"I think probably it made Neil think, 'Wow,'" he continues in a cool, distinguished, lightly accented voice, "because to some extent, the burden of expectations with Crowded House has been substantial. Its first record was so hugely successful, and I think ever since then there's been this desire in everyone around them to get back to that point or beyond that point--which they haven't done. And that becomes a drag after a while, what with too much interference from the outside. So I think what our record reminded him of is that things can be much purer."
This observation is an apt one, for the prime characteristic of Finn Brothers, released in this country on the Discovery imprint, is its utter effortlessness. While most recordings creak to some degree with the creative energies that were expended in the process of making them, these eleven ditties seem as natural as the sight of the sun rising over the Finns' New Zealand birthplace. What the long-player loses due to the absence of bracing sonic highs (only the final track, "Kiss the Road of Rarotonga," rocks in the conventional sense), it more than makes up for in subtlety. Cuts such as "Only Talking Sense," "Angels Heap" and "Paradise (Wherever You Are)" flow into one another beautifully, exuding unforced tunefulness and a quiet confidence that's far sturdier than the qualities present in most disposable pop. Listening to it, one senses that the brothers have grown so comfortable with each other that any discord that might once have complicated their relationship has long since dissipated.
This may come as a surprise to those who caught the Crowded House configuration that visited Boulder in 1991 to support the disc Woodface (originally conceived as the first Finn Brothers offering). For that album, Tim was invited to move into the House and become a full-time member alongside Neil, drummer Paul Hester and bassist Nick Seymour. But live, the blend of Finns was surprisingly awkward. The brothers stayed at opposite sides of the stage throughout most of the appearance, seldom interacting or even making eye contact. The tension was palpable, and it led to a performance that was less a sustained musical statement than a case study. No doubt realizing this, Tim left the ensemble a few dates later.
Today, Tim sees this experiment more objectively. "There were some great shows and some not so great shows," he says. "But Neil--all he had to do was to turn around and look at me to know that I wasn't suited to just being a keyboard player in a band, doing harmonies. I just wasn't fully stretched, and he knew that. He likes to see me stretched, and I like to see him that way, too--that's when we're both at our best. But in that setting, it was like I was too contained in a way; it was too easy, and I don't think either of us was particularly happy about that. In the end, it was a square peg in a round hole, really."
It also represented a role reversal, since Tim, as the older brother by about six years, was accustomed to having Neil literally and figuratively play his tunes, instead of the other way around. During an interview with Westword at the time of Woodface, Neil made frequent reference to the dynamics of power between him and the elder Finn. "Tim maintains that when I came along, he got pneumonia," he said, "and that he was always trying to compete with me by getting really close to me." Later, Neil added, "While we were apart--especially when he had a solo career and I was doing Crowded House--I was conscious of what he was doing and he was conscious of what I was doing, and any success on either side was noted and difficult to accept in a way. But I don't want to go too heavily into that, because it was just what you would expect."
In responding to these comments, Tim comes across as a bit frosty; he seems mildly peeved to discover that Neil ever discussed these issues in public. "Brothers can talk about this kind of stuff, but if you start putting it out there in the media, it can obviously be misinterpreted," he grumbles. However, he subsequently warms to the topic. "I didn't realize until years and years later that I had enjoyed the young-prince syndrome. I had older sisters, but I was the only son, the adored one. Since I was just six at the time, none of these would have been very hardcore, crystallized concepts by any means. But like any child, you enjoy the autonomy and the uniqueness--and I do remember that I became quite ill around the time Neil came along.

When the pages remaining on December's calendar start to wane and the pressure to find the perfect holiday gift begins to mount, a walk among the many diversified shops in Bayside could provide some surprising solutions. Here's what's offered at just a few of the stores that keep the area lively.
Karma, a tidy little boutique located at 38-27 Bell Blvd., takes its name from "the essence of life itself," as owner Margaret Papacostas puts it, who says she is a strong believer in karma.
For 10 years, the shop had been known as Azure, but after a thorough renovation, it was rechristened as Karma on Feb. 1, she said.
The new design, according to Papacostas, was intended "to make a woman feel like she's shopping in her own closet.
"I've worked hard to build trust in the community," she explained, particularly to create a "stress-free environment" for her customers.
The one-stop shop for women, as its owner describes it, carries everything from evening to work attire. Most popular right now are the bandage dresses, she said, referring to a style still big with celebrities. "Women want to be like them," she said.
Working much like a girdle, the dresses "make their bodies look absolutely amazing," Papacostas said.
Regular prices for the dresses run from $99 to $180. But for the holiday season, shoppers are offered considerable discounts on their purchases: $10 off for $50 or more; $15 off for $100 or more; $20 off for $150 or more.
According to Papacostas, the store sells every accessory imaginable, including a full line of Laura Bling, which now comes with a 20 percent discount. Also available at 20 percent off are Michele Lovetri designer handbags.
An array of work attire and holiday dresses is featured, as are denim jeans, and "we've incorporated shoes into the store to complete the look," Papacostas said.
Since reopening, business has been "very good," she said. "The community has responded very well."
On a recent visit, return customer Teresa Campanelli of Bayside said the store is "always good for the last minute to run to in an emergency," a situation she faced the day before leaving on vacation.
Campanelli found something to her liking, a chic red dress, but needed a smaller size than was available. Papacostas promised to order it and give Campanelli a call later that afternoon, or the next morning at the latest, once it had arrived.
Signs around the store offer tidbits of advice such as "Teach others," "Try new things," "Love what you do" and "Live without limits."
"Everything has positive thoughts in here," Papacostas said.
Karma is open Monday to Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Call (718) 428-1114.
Nearby is a well-stocked hole-in-the-wall called Turn the Page ... Again!, a book shop run by Transitional Services for New York, a comprehensive, community-based mental health agency that provides a continuum of rehabilitative services to enrich the lives of people with mental illness. TSINY also facilitates their transition to increased levels of independence.
In addition to three professional staff members, 14 individuals are gaining valuable work experience in the store, working two or three days a week for up to 10 hours total per week. The work program generally runs for nine months.
Going on three years at 39-15a Bell Blvd., the store offers a wide variety of used books, from romance novels (on sale this month at two for $3) and mysteries ($1 a pop) to classics, Jewish studies and black studies (also $1 each).
There are even small sections of free and 50-cent books, and no book costs more than $5 in the entire store.
All books are donated by the Queens Library and people in the community.
"Any books you could possibly need we usually have," said Assistant Manager Nina Cassius.
Among the more popular writers represented are James Patterson, Danielle Steele and Stephen King. Frequently requested titles include volumes in the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" series.
Cassius said the store is popular among teenagers and young readers, who have their own sitting area at the rear. Many students come in, she said, to stock up on their summer reading lists.
"A lot of people come before going to the big chain stores," she said.
The store maintains a "wish list," according to Cassius. "If the book comes in we will put it on hold."
Frequent buyer cards, which get punched every time a purchase is made, offer one free book after 20 punches for adults and 10 for children.
All purchases must be made in cash.
Turn the Page ... Again! is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call (718) 767-2341.
A shop with a much longer history is Bayside Florist, located at 39-19 Bell Blvd. The store has been owned for the past 17 years by Gregory Amentas, who said it has been around more than twice that long.
Amentas admitted that business is "not as great as it was," citing "overwhelming expenses. Everything keeps going up and you can't raise the price on customers."
The good news is that business has picked up a bit, though Amentas said, "People are cautious with their money."
Among the special attractions for this time of year are poinsettias, orchids and wreaths.
"We try to give customers as much as we can for the value," Amentas said.
In addition to stocking a large selection of exotic flowers, the store caters to personalized weddings, offers expert funeral designs, and sells fruit and gourmet baskets.
The store, which employs three workers, delivers worldwide, with same-day service across Queens and Nassau if an order is placed before 3 p.m., the owner said. With purchases of five cut flower bunches, the sixth is free (cash and carry only). Major credit cards are accepted.
Bayside Florist is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call (718) 423-0900 or 800-362-5951).

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has alleged that certain vested interests are trying to portray the Mullaperiyar dam issue as an inter-State dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu with a view to sidelining its human angle.
Mr. Chandy was addressing his eighth district-level mass contact programme at the St. Stephen's church ground here on Monday.
He said the Kerala government was for an amicable solution to the issue at the earliest. The threat to the safety of the dam has created a scare among the people of Kerala. He expressed the hope that the people of Tamil Nadu and their government are aware of the need to ensure the safety of millions of people residing downstream of the dam.
The Chief Minister said Kerala was united in its resolution to ensure the safety of the dam. No one in Kerala has opposed the government's stance that the supply of water to Tamil Nadu should continue as of now. He reiterated his government's stance to provide adequate supply of water to Tamil Nadu and ensure the safety of the people of Kerala. He hoped that Tamil Nadu would take the Kerala people's deep concern over the safety of the old dam in all its seriousness.
He said the people of Kerala had been maintaining self-restraint in the Mullaperiyar issue even though they were facing provocations from certain quarters.
Policy changes
The Chief Minister said his ongoing mass contact programme had proved to be a big success and the huge people's participation in it was a testimony to it. United efforts by people's representatives, government employees, and the people have made the programme a big success, he said adding that unity could yield wonderful results.
Mr. Chandy said it was not fair to blame employees alone for the problems attached to various government departments and redressal of public grievances. There would be a review of the various policies concerning the people on the basis of the mass contact programmes in all 14 districts.
K. Sivadasan Nair, MLA, presided over the inaugural function. Adoor Prakash, Health Minister; P.J. Kurien, Congress chief whip in the Rajya Sabha; Anto Antony, MP; Mathew T. Thomas and Raju Abraham, MLAs; Babu George, district panchayat president; and P. Venugopal, District Collector, spoke.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
If you are recording audio before anything else in your Logic projects, you're going to want to reference Logic's timing grade as you record. That way later you can take advantage of all the cool things you can do with the software instruments and audio quantizing options. We can do this with the standard studio tool called a click track or Metronome as it's known in Logic. Let's see how to set this up. The Metronome On/Off toggle is in the bottom-right of the Transport window. Click it to enable or disable at any time. When it's enabled and you hit Play, you'll hear a click. (Tapping or clicking.) That's our Metronome.
By default, Metronome uses a special software instrument hidden from normal view. To see this, hit Command+2 to show the Audio Mixer, and then hit All at the top of the Audio Mixer to see all tracks, even hidden ones. Here you'll see a track called Click. It's actually Instrument 256 and inserted in that track is an instrument called a Klopfgeist. Klopfgeist is German for "knocking ghost." Logic uses this simple instrument to make the click sound. We can hide this track now and pretty much forever but it's good to know it's there.
To hide it, click back on the Arrange button just to show tracks that are just in your Arrange window. Let's close the Mix window. To access the Metronome settings, you can right-click on the Metronome or go into File > Project Settings > Metronome. For the click settings, the bars and beats are audible by using different notes and different velocities played by the Klopfgeist. You can add in divisions by clicking the Divisions box. Once you do that, you'll hear some different tones in the click. Let's check it out. (Tapping/clicking.) The Tonality slider can be used to emphasize or de-emphasize the sound of the click.
You also have access to the volume of the click here. (Tapping and clanging.) Some musicians do not like to hear the difference in tonality between bars and beats. In this case you can make all the bars, beats, or divisions the same by making them the same note. So I am going to do that, I can make them all for example G5.
Then we will hear no difference. It will just be solid click. Now we'll hear everything as the same note. (Clicking.) Notice we still have velocities. We can also make all the velocities the same. (Clicking.) When you're recording and you're using a click, be aware of headphone bleed. That's what it's called when you get the sound of the click track from the headphone of the musicians into the microphone. You can use the tonality or volume to adjust to make sure you're not getting headphone bleed in your recording.
To enable an external MIDI device to play your clicks we'll disable the Software Click Instrument and deal with just this MIDI section. Here you can choose a MIDI port to communicate to outside of your Mac. The notes in this case and MIDI channels are set under this MIDI section. Otherwise, if you're only using the Software Click Instrument, these settings don't do anything. Most likely, you'll make the most of the Metronome click during recording when your performers need to hear the click to stay on time. You can set Click while recording or Click while playing or Only during count-in also in this window.
If you keep Click while recording selected, every time you go into Record, you'll hear the Metronome regardless of whether it's turned on or off in the Transport Bar. To set the length of your recording count-in, go to the Recording Settings. Here you can choose a count-in of 1 bar or more than 1 bar or half a bar and so forth. A count-in helps get a performer ready for the take by letting he or she hear the click of bar or so before recording starts. This is also known as pre-roll. You can also record a pre- roll in seconds rather than bars.
You can do 1 second, 2 seconds, etcetera. The Metronome is a valuable tool that is essential to keeping your performers on time when recording. Use them to set up your song especially if audio recording is the first thing you're laying down in your project.

Please, if you can. Thank you. The bulb is rather small, size of a hyacinth. This is its maiden bloom and I have no idea of its origine. Xuan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Xuan, Is this one that you bought or could it be one of your seedlings? It's very pretty but I don't recognize it. Nice to hear from you again. Donna |

Could it be H. morelianum? |
Hello Donna I'm pretty sure I didn't buy the bulb so I guess it could be one of the seedlings from the seeds I was given. I grew it in the garden and all tags lost due to time. (I used to use plastic spoon as plant tags and they got broken and faded) Thank you Macroclemys for the suggestion. I'll check it out. Xuan |

I do not think it morelianum. Just look at his photos Peixoto. In Russia, such hippeastrums called "grandmother." |

European Banks on the Brink John Mauldin Jul 20, 2009 8:55 am |
The time to have taken action was when we were making liar and no-doc loans and calling them AAA, or allowing banks to go to 30:1 leverage. Paulson had to deal with eggs that were already broken. That the system didn't crater is to his credit. Securitizing what he and everyone else should have known would be garbage while he was head of Goldman Sachs isn't, however, to his credit. But I digress.
I'm going to give you 4 charts showing the leverage of banks in the US, the United Kingdom, the Eurozone, and Switzerland. The bottom, blue portion is assets to common and preferred stock; the red is assets to common equity, which can include good will; and the purple is assets to tangible common equity.
Tangible common equity (TCE) is all the rage, and that's what the recent stress tests measured. In opposition, there's tier-1 capital, which includes preferred stock (this would basically be the blue portion). TCE only includes common shares.
Now, let's start with the US. These graphs show leverage. The average leverage of tier-1 capital of the 5 largest banks is in the range of 12:1, and is actually down from 10 years ago. (A very good and simple explanation of all this can be found here.)

Not a major issue but slightly annoying. I updated AMD drivers/catalyst as recommeneded when I installed "borderlands2 game" on my ProBook4540s. In the same session windows 8 automaticly updated something.
I then noticed that every third time I turned on or woke the laptop it would hang on a blank black screen for quite a while and sometimes I would have to hold down power button to turn it off and try again. It is also quicker to restart the laptop then it is to put it to sleep and return. Sleep used to take about 30seconds it now takes 2minutes.
I have tried restoring to before I did the update but the restor fails.
I have also tried uninstalling the AMD driver and using the older one but then the GPU isnt detected.
Now I have upgraded to win8.1.... (lost finger scan, but thats another problem). The laptop is running smoother and I'm happy with it but the problem still exists. Long time to power on, sometimes hangs and sleep is usesless... Actualy it just occured to me that sleep is not working properly as it shuts down the programs too.
Is it possible that the new AMD drivers are fighting against the intel graphics options?
Why do I have both AMD and Intel graphics software?
Thanks for your help

Divorce Court: Man Pays For Wife's Surgery To Look Less Ugly And She Skips Out On Him For New Man [Video]
Cannot turn a hoe into a housewife…
Sept. 12 – Derrick and Sharae have been married for 9 years, but things changed after Sharae had several operaions done on her body (breast implants, a tummy tuck, and a butt lift). Derrick says Sharae began to act like she was single and wouldn't even let him touch her, despite the fact that he paid for the operation. Derrick now wants Sharae to either get a refund on her nip-tuck or pay him back the $5,000 it cost him. Sharae says the two have always worked as a team with regards to spending and that Derrick hasn't paid back $500 of his own on a truck she helped him purchase. Furthermore, Sharae says Derrick is a cheating player who would rather have Bible study with "Sister Jones" than with her. Sounds like this whole relationship could use a major face-lift!

Resolution: standard / high Figure 5. Characterization of the erl-1(tm2703) allele. (A) Schematic of erl-1 gene: grey and white boxes indicate exons and 3'UTR respectively. The erl-1 region deleted in tm2703 is marked by black line. Primers used for RT-PCR are shown as black arrows. Blue and
cyan arrows indicate primers used to confirm tm2703 deletion. Primers binding outside and inside the deleted region are shown in blue
and cyan respectively. (B) Genomic deletion in erl-1(tm2703) was confirmed by genomic PCR using primers that bind outside and inside the deleted
region as shown in Figure 5A. (C) erl-1 mRNAs isolated from wild type and erl-1(tm2703) worms were amplified by RT-PCR. PCR was performed with either cDNA (+) or RNA (-)
using primers depicted in Figure 4A. The weak band in erl-1(tm2703) RNA only sample (-) likely results from amplification of residual genomic DNA in the
RNA preparation, i.e. the size of product corresponds to size of erl-1 genomic region. (D) Western blot analysis shows lack of ERL-1 protein in the strain
homozygous for erl-1(tm2703). ERL-1 was detected with affinity purified rabbit α-ERL-1 and blot was re-probed
with mouse α-actin as loading control.

5 Tips to Juggle Love and Money
By YourTango
4. Opposites Attract. When it comes to money, men and women often have different views. Women see money as a sign of security and stability. They like to save for emergencies and when financial problems arise, they become very concerned and worried. Men take more risks with money and see financial problems as a threat to their self esteem and confidence. Put yourself in the other's shoes to try to understand money from your partner's perspective. Compromise is often essential. It is okay to disagree on some issues, but don't let them get in the way of your overall goals as a couple.
5. Underlying Issues. Too often disagreements about money have little to do with the money itself and more to do with issues of control, security, self esteem and love! Money is a tangible part of a relationship, so it is easy to project emotional issues onto concrete money matters. Be honest with yourself about how you feel about money. If you've always been independent, for example, it may be hard for you to be "taken care of" financially. Think carefully as you discuss money issues with your partner, to make sure there isn't a larger problem at the core.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

Hey bizarre fuckers! Whewww, you guys are freaks but I love you so much for waving your freak flag high! Have any of you heard of shrinking fetish phone sex? I know lot's of you already know that I am a foot fetish Mistress. That means that I like teasing men with my feet. Worshiping my toes is a treat. Lot's of times I will make you smell them when they are sweaty after been in 6 inch high heels all day. I know that some of you are smell addicts too. Such naughty little piggies. Now imagine that being melded with a guy whose fantasy is to be shrunk? Wow, such fucking fun!
So, this guy tells me that he wants to be given a potion that I created that will make him really tiny. Like about the size of a dildo. I was extremely game. I described what it felt like to feel all his bones reshaping and morphing along with his organs etc..till he was the size of a human sex toy. I found out as we were talking that he also harbored a very sizable foot fetish. He wanted to be on the floor while I kicked off my high heels and put him inside of one to relax for a bit. He liked that they were sweaty and smelled of me. I mean who wouldn't, though? I am one fucking, off the rails, hottie. I also adore sensual domination. Who doesn't like a big titty blonde who likes to own you? We talked some more and then he told me that he wanted to get on his little hands and knees and lick my feet and between my toes. Kind of made me giggle because I am ticklish, but he really liked that I sounded so cute and bratty.
Do you want to know what else he wanted to do? Well, he had me mummify him in a pair of my silk stockings. That was some pretty harddcore fun! Then he wanted to be my human dildo. I am going to let you imagine that while you are getting out your cc and picking up the phone.

This evening a post was made in the "OH BOY HERE WE GO! yet another raid incoming" thread by Anon. It has since disappeared, either because of an action taken by one of our mods (I hope this isn't the case) or because s/he decided to delete it themselves for some reason or another.
Independent of the circumstances, I think the contents of that post were important and interesting for a few reasons, which I wont bore you with (yet). So, possibly against the wishes of Anon (accept my apologies), I'm going to reproduce the post in its entirety below:

It's a Journey, Not a Race
Posted By Mark Sisson On January 5, 2010 @ 8:56 am In Personal Improvement | 50 Comments
By now, I'm sure you've been privy to the teeming hordes descending on cardio machines and health food stores across the country. Tofu is completely sold out; there's a line out the door for the elliptical. The scent of desperate, hopeful sweat is in the air, and everywhere you look, folks sporting brand spanking new exercise gear and a list full of resolutions lie to themselves. They keep up the charade for a couple weeks, perhaps even a month, after which point the gym crowds taper off, the farmers' markets stop looking like a mosh pit set to NPR, and people begin thinking about next year's changes. Yep – it's the New Year, and this is the entirely-predictable-and-requisite post on New Year's resolutions.
Did you make any?
Jokes aside, not all resolutions are created equally – or with identical purpose of mind. Your average PBer, for example, actually intends to make good on his or her resolution. I dunno, but I just have a feeling that's the case. You tend to get things done. I've seen the amount of progress you guys have made [7] using nothing but your own impetus (and maybe a book or blog or two) (no holiday required), and it's impressive. With a little motivation [8], though, MDA reader progress seemed to increase exponentially. Still, people are weird about New Year's resolutions. Since the New Year is paradoxically famous for both motivating resolve and inspiring cynicism about the whole "making positive changes" thing, I figured a small post by yours truly to buttress your resolve and undercut the cynicism might help. I'm a big proponent of making positive changes in one's life, and I can't help but get misty-eyed when people decide to enrich their lives.
A big part of making positive changes, especially regarding health and fitness, is being realistic about your goals. I think unreasonable expectations actually explain why so many New Year's resolutions crash and burn, and why the whole idea of a resolution has essentially become a joke. I'd say the vast majority of them expect too much in too little time – they want to go from belly fat to washboard abs in time for summer, or they pledge to lose a hundred pounds by year's end. I mean, these are technically doable for a subset of the population, but for the vast majority of folks – especially the people who need to make these resolutions in the first place – such drastic results require slow, steady going. People don't like that, though. They want instant results. More importantly, they seem to expect them, and unreasonable expectations almost unerringly result in disappointment.
The best way to avoid making unreasonable resolutions is to identify the root, underlying issues. I'd even suggest foregoing the specific, goal-oriented resolution. Instead of vowing to "lose 20 lbs in 30 days," vow to eat no grains or legumes, no sugar, no vegetable oils, and nothing in a box. Instead of resolving to obtain 16-inch biceps, resolve to add pull-ups to the end of every weight lifting session. The key, in my opinion, is to focus on the journey, rather than the destination. The destination then becomes the journey. All those specific fixations on specific body parts are missing the point. When you set arbitrary numerical or objective goals, you're merely attacking the symptoms, rather than addressing the real issue. If you need to lose weight, you need to dial in your nutrition. Eat Primal foods [9] and avoid Neolithic foods [10]. If you're unhappy with your level of physical fitness, don't focus on the arms, or the calves, or the abs. That's nonsense, and those things will come around when the whole body is healthy and strong. Understand that your body is a confederation of genes, organs, hormones, muscles, bones, and all manner of other parts. They're all united to support a common purpose – your interaction with the environment. To promote proper interaction, lift heavy things [11] a couple times per week, throw in three to five hours of low-level cardio [12], and maybe a sprint session [13], and then call it a day. It's incredibly simple, but it identifies and addresses the root cause. Attacking symptoms and then declaring success is for Big Pharma, not you. Don't fall into that trap.
When you focus on the lifelong journey, following the Primal path gets simpler. Instead of a motley crew of contradicting and scattered goals, paths, and benchmarks, you're now dealing with a single resolution. You haven't left anything out, and all your worries and symptoms are still being addressed, but it's now cohesive, efficient, and intuitive. You don't need a ridiculously long list; you just Grok [14] the Primal Blueprint Laws [15], get plenty of sleep, avoid stress, eat real food, move around a lot, lift heavy things on occasion, and sprint now and again. Top things off with a few supplements if your diet is lacking in certain areas and you've got yourself a damn good New Year's resolution that's easy to follow and incredibly effective – for life.
What is your approach to New Year's resolutions and the Primal lifestyle at large? Let me know in the comment board. And don't forget to send in your New Year's Resolution videos [16]. There is only a week and a half left to get them in. Competition is still low and the prize is grand, so act fast!

By Stephanie Weiner – Edited by Evelyn Breithaupt
On July 31, a Boston federal jury ordered physics Ph.D student Joel Tenenbaum to pay $675,000 in damages to various recording companies for willfully infringing 30 songs by downloading them over KaZaA — an award of $22,500 per song. It was only the second file-sharing case to go to verdict in the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) anti-downloading litigation campaign, along with that of Jammie Thomas-Rasset, though thousands are settled or pending.
Each day of the trial was thoroughly covered by Ben Sheffner, guest reporting at Arstechnica. JoelFightsBack — Tenenbaum's defense team's blog — provides extensive information about the case, including firsthand accounts from Tenenbaum himself. Ray Beckerman argues that the most salient legal issues remain unresolved, and that the plaintiffs ought to have been held to higher evidentiary standards in order to establish infringement and entitlement to statutory damages higher than the minimum available.
Defending Tenenbaum was Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson, whose unusual litigation tactics have been much blogged about since he took the case in September 2008.
