Constant Reboots!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Foscam Pan And Tilt Wireless IP Camera with 9bdi antennas 2 pack FI8918W (Camera)
These cameras function as advertised other than they both reboot randomly. No rhyme or reason for it, just randomly reboot. When they reboot, they occasionally do not come back online or will come back out of position. Also, when they reboot, the IR comes on and the date and time are wrong. I have tried several different software packages and it doesn't matter what software I am using, the problem still exists. I have even got them plugged into a UPS for power.
Easy to setup before they are installed (outside under the eave of my house in my case) but a pain if you have to reset them since they have to be physically connected to your wireless router to perform the wireless setup so they will then talk to your router.
The included software doesn't do any motion activated recording that I can find. It is handy for seeing what the cameras are seeing but you have to initiate the recording yourself.
The software that I like the best to use with it is Active WebCam. Another one that works reasonably well is Ispy.
Bottom line? If you can deal with the random reboots then these are great. If not, then look elsewhere.

I recently bought the 3-pack and noticed that the software I was using (EvoCam) periodically would lose the connection to the cameras, but not all of them at the same time. I happened to be sitting next to one of them and heard it reset, so I suspect that is what is happening. I reported it to Foscam and they said it could be a power problem, don't use DC extension cords, etc, but they are all using only the power adapters that were shipped, and my UPSes are not reporting any power glitches. I will report back if the issue is resolved.

NEW YORK (AP) — Britain's Sean Bean and Brazil's Fernanda Montenegro took the top acting honors Monday night at the 41st International Emmy Awards in which the statues were spread among TV productions from six countries.
The highlight of the awards ceremony came when Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the latest "Star Trek" films, presented the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to writer-director-producer J.J. Abrams, who took a break from pre-production work on the new "Star Wars" film.
Abrams, who helped create such trend-setting TV series as "Felicity," ''Alias," and "Lost," paid tribute to his actors and production crews as well as his family. He credited his father, TV executive Gerald W. Abrams with teaching him "about leadership, tenacity and getting things done at all costs" and his wife, Katie McGrath," for "her support and brutal honesty" and encouraging him early on to write "about things that I care about," which led him to create his first television script for "Felicity."
Britain garnered three International Emmys at the ceremony at the Hilton New York hosted by British comedian John Oliver, formerly of "The Daily Show."
Brazil and France had two apiece, while Australia, South Korea and Germany each got one award. The 36 nominees represented 19 countries, including first-timers Angola and Uruguay.
Bean, best known for his roles in "The Lord of the Rings" and "Game of Thrones," won the best actor award for his role in an episode of the crime anthology series "Accused." Bean portrayed a shy English literature teacher with a secret alter-ego of a flamboyant transvestite who gets involved in an affair with a married man that leads to a brutal crime of passion. The veteran actor said he was especialy "delighted" because "I've never actually won anything before."
Earlier on the red carpet, Bean said he took on the against-type role because it's something he's "always kind of aspired to — playing diversity and different characters."
"I guess that's what excites us as actors and this was a wonderful opportunity for me to display another side of my character," he said.
Britain's "Moone Boy," about a young Irish boy who survives his chaotic family life with the help of an imaginary grown-up pal, won in the comedy category. The British documentary "Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender," which focuses on the late rock singer's solo projects outside of Queen, tied for the arts programming award with South Korea's "Hello?! Orchestra," in which violist Richard Yongjae O'Neill conducts an orchestra of children like himself from multicultural families.
Montenegro, who received an Oscar nomination for the 1998 film "Central Station," was chosen best actress for her role in "Doce de Mae" ("Sweet Mother") in which she plays an 85-year-old woman who wishes to live independently and take on new experiences, like dancing. She called it "a special moment in my professional life" and shared the honor with her director and cast mates — "the wonderful, marvelous actors from Brazil."

While Australia traditionally has been associated with its rich and unique flora and fauna, there is so much more to discover. Australia has a leading edge economy, exporting high-technology products such as telecommunications, medical equipment and computer software, while maintaining its traditionally strong position as an exporter of commodities, such as coal, iron ore, wheat and beef. Australia is today not just attracting surfers and backpackers but global corporations and small-to-medium size businesses who find Australia's well-developed and friendly environment a perfect hub for their Asian activities.
Our aim with these pages is to provide you with a resource guide to help you locate the information you need on Australia.

Anzac Day 2015
The Embassy of Australia together with the New Zealand Consulate in Sweden will mark Anzac Day with a commemorative service and a wreath-laying ceremony at the Commonwealth War Graves site in Kviberg Cemetery, Gamlestaden, Göteborg on Saturday 25 April 2015 commencing at 11.00 am sharp. A reception will follow, the details of which will be advised to those registering to attend the ceremony (refer below).
Anzac Day takes on added significance this year as we mark the 100th anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces on Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. Anzac Day does, however, extend beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli. It is the day on which we remember Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of Anzac, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance to our sense of national identity.
If you would like to attend please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. In order for the Embassy to cater appropriately for the reception, registration at the email address provided is necessary. Please reply by 3 April.

Since the first time Lloyd Sugarman set foot in a Johnny Rockets in the summer of 1986, it's been nothing but rewarding. After meeting with the company founder Ronn Teitelbaum, Lloyd packed his bags and moved his family to California to work every possible aspect of a Johnny Rockets restaurant. After Lloyd had run several restaurants successfully, Teitelbaum asked him to sell half his restaurants and become Senior Vice President of Development for Johnny Rockets in 1989. After three years, Lloyd decided to get back into day-to-day restaurant operations. He gave up his position and focused on growing his own business, which is now up to 15 restaurants in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, Minnesota, and Tennessee. In addition, Lloyd introduced dancing servers, food court restaurant locations, and the Streamliner meatless hamburger, key elements of Johnny Rockets restaurants found to this day in the company's nearly 300 locations worldwide. When asked what he looks forward to most with the opening of each restaurant, Lloyd replied, "Preparing for a Johnny Rockets opening is like preparing for the opening of a Broadway show. You want to build anticipation and create a buzz so that people are knocking on the door as soon as you're ready to open..." Lloyd was profiled as Franchisee of the Month in the September 2012 issue of Restaurant Business magazine.

The "gamma ray burst" is so far away that its light has taken almost the entire age of the universe to reach us.
When the light began its journey, travelling at 186,000 miles per second, only 640 million years had passed since the Big Bang that marked the dawn of creation.
The event, designated GRB 090423, was first detected by the American space agency Nasa's Swift satellite, which is designed to spot gamma ray bursts.
After Swift recorded an initial blast of gamma and X-rays, ground-based telescopes swivelled to aim at the same point in the sky and observed a fading afterglow of infra-red light.
Scientists believe the burst was caused by a massive star collapsing and exploding at the end of its life, leaving a black hole.
Dr Nial Tanvir, from the University of Leicester, said: "This is the most remote gamma-ray burst ever detected, and also the most distant object ever discovered – by some way."
Swift detected a 10 second burst of gamma rays from GRB 090423 at 8.55am UK time on April 23.
It quickly pivoted to bring its optical and X-ray telescopes to bear on the object. Although Swift was able to pick up a fading pulse of X-rays, it saw nothing in visible light. This in itself suggested that the burst was very distant, since light from a far away object is shifted in wavelength towards the red end of the spectrum until it becomes invisible.
Twenty minutes later the British Infra-red Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, located a source of light beyond the optical range at the same spot pinpointed by Swift. This was the infra-red "afterglow" of the gamma ray burst.
Other ground-based telescopes around the world were rapidly aimed in the same direction and confirmed the discovery.
When scientists calculated the afterglow's "redshift" – the degree to which the wavelength of light from the object was shifted in the red direction – they realised the gamma ray burst had broken all distance records.
US astronomer Professor Edo Berger, from the Harvard Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who also studied the burst, said: "I have been chasing gamma-ray bursts for a decade, trying to find such a spectacular event.
"We now have the first direct proof that the young universe was teeming with exploding stars and newly-born black holes only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang."
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the universe and are the afterglows of dying stars.

Environment Canada on Monday warned residents in British Columbia, Canada to brace for record-breaking series of heatwaves in the coming days that could exacerbate the current raging wildfires in the province.
There are currently 45 wildfires scattered across the province. One in the north is threatening to spread into Alberta.
Environment Canada said daily temperature rates in the B.C. interior are expected to hit 40 C until Thursday. Currently in northern B.C., temperatures are already 8 C to 10 C above normal, the agency said.
"The hot, dry weather has definitely been a concern," Navi Saini, a spokeswoman for the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch, told the Canadian Press. "It's definitely hindering fire-suppression efforts."
The biggest fires are in northern B.C., set off by lightning and then whipped up by strong winds.
But the B.C. Forest Service is also cautious for the southwestern corner of the province, including the Manning Park area, which has been forecast to be hit by dry lightning.
"The danger rating in the province on the latest map shows a lot of red (for extreme risk rating)," Saini said. "And it's only expected to increase from here on in. We don't anticipate a break in the (hot, dry) weather for at least the next seven to 10 days."
Jane Park, fire and vegetation specialist of BC's park, said public access to some areas of the park have been restricted. "In the forest around here, given a little bit of wind, fire can move at about 25 metres per minutes, so it's quite fast," Park said.
An evacuation order has been given to 200 people in three nearby oil and gas camps, Saini said.
No casualties have so far been reported from the ongoing wildfires.

Age of Civilizations
• Maps:
- Earth | [342 Provinces]
- Kepler-22b | [404 Provinces]
• Orders are submitted before each round. The number of orders you can submit during each round is limited by your Movement Points for that round.
• After orders are submitted, civilizations execute actions in turn order, which is randomized at the start of each round.
• Map
- The capital is the most important province in a civilization. If you lose your capital for 3 turns, your civilization will no longer exist. If you capture another civilization's capital, you obtain all of its provinces. Capitals have a defensive bonus: +15% and an offensive bonus: +15%. Capitals have all buildings already constructed.
- Transparent provinces are neutral. Provinces with color belong to other civilizations.
- You can scale the map. To go back to the standard scale, double tap the map. If scale is other than standard on minimap you can see '!' in top right.
- Use the Economy and Population buttons to view each province's Economy and Population values. Use the diplomacy button to view each province's owner and engage in diplomacy (see Orders- Diplomacy View).
• Treasury
- Money is added to your treasury through income tax, which is based off your civilization's total population and economy. Money is subracted from your treasury for military upkeep, which is based off your amount of military units (units at sea have a higher upkeep than units on land).
• Orders - Normal View
- Move: move units from one province to another. You can move between provinces you control or attack another civilization's province.
- Recruit: recruit units from the selected province. This costs money and is limited by the population of the province. Recruiting from a province reduces its population.
- Build: construct a building in the selected province (see Building Types). This costs money.
- Disband: remove units from the selected province. This decreases military upkeep.
- Vassal: creates a vassal state with another civilization.
- Annex: brings a vassal state back under your full control.
• Orders - Diplomacy View
- War: declare war on a civilization.
- Peace: submit a peace offer to a civilization. If accepted, your civilizations will no longer be at war.
- Pact: submit a pact offer to a civilization. If accepted, the civilizations cannot attack each other for five rounds. This can be canceled through a War order one round in advance.
- Alliance: submit an alliance offer to a civilization. If accepted, that civilization will aid you in your military efforts. Use the War order to let allies know who your targets are.
- Kick: end an alliance with a civilization.
- Support: give money to a civilization.
• Building Types
- Fort: gives a province a defense bonus.
- Watch tower: allows you to see army numbers in neighboring provinces.

Byzantine; Probably made in Constantinople
Ivory, traces of polychromy, gilding; bone (border strips); (a): 2 5/8 x 5 1/8 in. (6.6 x 13 cm); (b): 2 x 3 3/8 in. (5 x 8.5 cm); (c): 2 3/8 in. x 3 1/2 in. (6 x 9 cm)
Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917 (17.190.137a–c)
The prosperity and cultural renaissance of the Byzantine empire during the tenth and eleventh centuries are demonstrated by elaborate ivory boxes that may have served as containers for gifts or as luxury objects for display. The plaques illustrated here were once fastened to the wooden core of a box. The plaques illustrate events in the Old Testament story of Joshua's conquest of the Promised Land; each is inscribed with a direct quotation from or paraphrase of the Book of Joshua. On the plaques, Joshua leads the Israelites in ambushing the army led by the king of Ai (Joshua 8:1023), condemns the king of Jerusalem (Joshua 10:26), and receives the ambassadors from Gibeon (Joshua 9). Each plaque is framed by a border of medallions containing rosettes and bust portraits in profile. The figures are exquisitely carved in naturalistic poses. It has been argued that the traces of paint on the ivories are original. Joshua's story was often invoked in this period, when the Byzantines frequently identified themselves with God's chosen people and likened their own military victories and defeats to those of the Jews many centuries earlier.

Tomato blooms vs heat
A friend told me a long time ago that tomato blooms won't set fruit after it gets too hot. Seems like it's too hot. Mine have stopped setting fruit.
Anyone know about this for sure?
It's called "blossom drop" and it occurs for a variety of reasons, not just heat. http://gardening.about.com/od/problemspest1/a/BlossomDrop.htm
For instance, I never thought about how humidity affects pollination. During these weeks of bone-dry air, I might have gotten a few more tomatoes if I'd sprayed the foliage as mentioned in this article.
I remember that my mother used something called blossom set to help set fruit. Lots of people swear by it and I suppose there's nothing to be lost by trying it. I do think our weather extremes make it less likely to work here than down South.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blossom set

'Game of Thrones' Star to Topline Disaster Pic 'Pompeii'
Kit Harington will play the lead in Paul W.S. Anderson's movie about the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.
Kit Harington, one of the stars of HBO's Game of Thrones, is in negotiations to topline Pompeii, the big-screen treatment of the volcanic destruction of the ancient Roman city being directed by Resident Evil maestro Paul W.S. Anderson.
Constantin Film is financing and producing the big-budget title, which Summit/Lionsgate will distribute in the U.S.
The 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its showering of molten and ashen death on the town is one of history's great disaster stories and has seen several screen incarnations.
Constantin and Anderson are making a period adventure movie and taking a Titanic approach, anchoring it with a love story.
Harington will play a slave stuck on a ship who must race against time to save his true love, his master's daughter, as well as his best friend, a gladiator trapped in the coliseum when the destruction begins.
Anderson, who most recently directed the $221 million worldwide-grossing Resident Evil: Retribution, is also producing with partner Jeremy Bolt and Constantin's Robert Kulzer.
Harington plays Jon Snow on Thrones, HBO's acclaimed fantasy. The actor has just started taking steps into the feature world and will appear in Legendary's fantasy The Seventh Son and is doing voice work in DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Harington was set to star in Warner Bros. medieval action pic Arthur & Lancelot, but that project was shelved.
He is repped by CAA, Parseghian Planco and Jackoway Tyerman.

A Whole New World of Whole-Grain Cereals
Few things are more satisfying in the morning than a warm bowl of oatmeal. But we've found a few—whole grain cereals made entirely from scratch in your Vitamix machine. Not only do freshly milled grains have more fiber and more naturally occurring vitamins, they also taste fresher. And the Vitamix offers the ability to create "designer" cereal combinations that you can't find in your grocery aisle.
If you're planning to mill whole grains only occasionally, you may use your standard Vitamix container, but we recommend the Dry Grains container if you plan to mill on a regular basis.
Applelicious Whole Grain Cereal
The natural pairing of cinnamon and apples (made twice as nice by using both apple cider and fresh apples) makes this blend of cracked wheat and rice one to savor.
Apricot Brown Rice Cereal
Here, the concentrated sweetness of dried apricots complements the toasty goodness of toasted rice in a cereal that will wake you up in no time!
Apple-Raisin Cracked Wheat Cereal
Apple meets raisin in this cracked wheat cornucopia, and it's a win-win result.
Brown Rice Grits
Who knew that the old familiar cornmeal grits had this exotic cousin? Serve topped with fresh fruit or maple syrup - creamy and irresistible!
Creamy Rice Cereal
You control the speed and length of the grind, so even the youngest members of the family can enjoy home-ground, whole grain cereal in the morning. When it's time to start your baby on cereals, make this all-natural cereal. Later, add fruit for variety.
Helpful Hints
Grinding 2 cups (400 g) of grain at a time results in a more uniformly ground cereal. Remember that the longer the machine runs, the finer the consistency of the cereal, up to the point that it becomes flour.
You may try adding ¼ - ½ teaspoon salt to the boiling water while cooking the grains. This is for flavor only and is not necessary if you are trying to restrict salt intake.
To save time on a busy morning, add ground cereal to a saucepan of boiling water at night. Turn the stove off, place a tightly fitting lid on the pan, and allow the cereal to soak overnight. By morning, it will be ready to eat as a cold cereal, or simply reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
A thermos can also save you time in the morning. Place 1 cup of grain in a 1-quart (.95 l) thermos bottle (wide mouth is most convenient), then add boiling water until it is one inch from the top. Use a wooden spoon handle to stir the grain and water. Close the thermos and it will slow-cook in 8-12 hours.
For variety, combine grains, such as oats and buckwheat, wild rice and brown rice, etc.
Spice up your cereal with nutmeg or cinnamon. Add your favorite fruits for a change in flavor and added nutrition—peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raisins, or coconut.
Cook's Note:
Remember that dried fruits rehydrate by absorbing water, so you should increase the water portion of your recipe just slightly when using dried fruit.
For use in casseroles, substitute broth for cooking water.
When creating your own whole-grain cereal recipes, use the following chart for helpful grinding and cooking guidelines.

In A Picture: Ryan's Speech Was Much Ado About Obama
For those who like word clouds, here is Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's speech Wednesday night at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa, during which he accepted his party's vice presidential nomination.
This picture of how often he said something drew our eyes to:
-- "Obama." That would be the president, of course, who Ryan said has failed the American people.
-- "Mitt" and "Romney." The 2012 Republican presidential nominee, who Ryan said has the experience and ideas to fix the nation's problems.
-- "Government." It needs to be less involved in American's lives, Ryan said, not more.
-- "Years." He said President Obama has had nearly four years to fix things and hasn't. Ryan, of course, wants Mitt Romney to have at least four years to try things his way.
-- "Mom." That's always nice to see.
-- The transcript of Ryan's address.
-- The live blogging we did Wednesday night.

They show up in Brooklyn's Prospect Park on weekends to take part in bicycle races. They are a mixed bunch of men and women -- lawyers, managers, technicians and superintendents from the five boroughs.
Equally fancy are their bikes, made of aviation-grade titanium alloy, tungsten, carbon fiber, epoxy and composite materials. Together, they create a spectacle of logos and foreign brands advertising espresso machines, investment banks, wristwatches and mint tea.
If you want to see a good bike race in Prospect Park, you have to get up early in the day. From March until October, local bike clubs in association with the NYC Parks and Recreation Department schedule bicycle races in the park's 3.35 mile loop roadway.
The races are held from 5.30 am to 8 am, way before the hordes of joggers, families, and children with pets arrive. The race course is closed to traffic and the riding group, or peloton, is paced by a motorcycle during the entire 27 miles.
The start is uneventful. A bell simply goes off. Riders leave in a disorganized manner, but soon they fall into cadence and into a tight formation. They disappear from sight. Silence returns to the park and invites the spectator to contemplation. At this hour of the morning, the whole world smells brand new.
About 10 minutes later you can hear the peloton approaching, on the way to complete its first lap. A humming sound gets louder and resembles a swarm of angry bees. In a flash, you are at the center of a maelstrom. Now, all around you is wind and color and sharp yells and the whir of sprocket wheels engaging chain links and the muffled sound of rubber tires gripping the pavement.
Cycling is a lonely sport. During races and open rides cyclists ride together, as they can save 30 percent of their energy when they draft behind one another. Riding in a group also brings the feeling of comradeship.
It can help to have a friend to measure yourself against or just a travelling companion to assist in keeping the pace. Still, many find the real challenge in riding alone. That is, when no one is around to edge you on, and the competition is against yourself and your limitations.
And there, you pedal alone with your thoughts. It is easy to drift away into a world of distractions and lose sight of your objective.
The concept of suffering is central to the world of cycling. It means battling pain and exhaustion and pushing beyond the limits of human endurance in order to persevere. "Did you suffer much?" they ask you at the end of a race. Suffering has a purifying effect on the spirit.
At the end of the 8th lap, there is a mad dash for the finish and the race ends in a tight sprint. A rider is declared the winner. All bikes now come to a standstill. Helmets and eyeglasses come off, heart rate monitors are turned off and bodies detach from bikes to show that they are two distinct and separate organisms. Muscles relax and sweat beads appear uninhibited.
Laughter is loud and conversations flow freely. In the background, an older man and his two assistants dutifully scoop up the traffic cones, fold the finish line banner and pack the bell. Together with the registration tables and chairs, they stuff them all in a pick-up truck.
Cyclists begin trickling out of the park. Some linger behind to share stories with friends or to organize further rides to Point Lookout in Brooklyn or even Westchester County. The rest go home to a hot shower and the rest of their day. By the time the hordes of joggers begin to arrive, no evidence is left to show that a bike race was ever held here. The clock strikes 8 am sharp.

Steve Earle to Release Townes Van Zandt Tribute Album
By Tom Breihan on March 6, 2009 at 11:45 a.m. EST
You know impressively bearded alt-country OG Steve Earle is a good guy because he helped Bubbles through rehab on The Wire. So he didn't need to solidify his good-guy status any further by recording an album in tribute to the late country-folk cult hero Townes Van Zandt. But Earle's done it anyway. That's just how he rolls.
On May 12, New West will release Townes , Earle's tribute to his friend and mentor. The album will also be available as a deluxe two-CD set and on 180-gram vinyl. That's the cover above.
According to a press release, Earle and Van Zandt first met when Van Zandt heckled an Earle show in 1972, the sort of thing that must be a total nightmare for most singer-songwriters. But the two stayed tight until Van Zandt's death in 1997.
Dust Brother John King, who produced Earle's 2007 album Washington Square Serenade, mans the boards on one song, "Lungs". On that same song, Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello guests on guitar. (And yes, he does play one of those wikki-wikki turntable-scratch solos, but it sort of works.) Singer-songwriter Allison Moorer, Earle's wife, sings backup on "To Live Is to Fly" and "Loretta". Earle also recruited a backing band of bluegrass all-stars to play on several songs. And duetting on "Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold": Earle's son Justin Townes Earle, appearing on record with his dad for the first time. (Earle really must've loved the guy if he named his kid after him.)
In the album's press release, Earle has this to say: "This may be one of the best records I've ever made. That hurts a singer-songwriter's feelings. Then again, it's some consolation that I cherry picked through the career of one of the best songwriters that ever lived." Aww.
You have to admire Earle for recording an entire Townes Van Zandt tribute album and not including "If I Needed You". That takes some balls.
In other Earle news, he'll play two shows at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music on April 4 and 5.
Here's a stream of Earle's cover of Van Zandt's "Lungs", featuring Tom Morello on guitar:

Homeopathic Medicine
homeopathy (hōmēŏp´əthē), system of medicine whose fundamental principle is the law of similars—that like is cured by like. It was first given practical application by Samuel Hahnemann of Leipzig, Germany, in the early 19th cent. and was designated homeopathy to distinguish it from the established school of medicine which he called allopathy. The American Institute of Homeopathy was founded in 1844, and the practice of homeopathy was popularized in the United States by the physician and senator Royal S. Copeland (1868–1938). It had been observed that quinine given to a healthy person causes the same symptoms that malaria does in a person suffering from that disease; therefore quinine became the preferred treatment in malaria. When a drug was found to produce the same symptoms as did a certain disease, it was then used in very small doses in the treatment of that disease. U.S. medical schools do not presently emphasize the homeopathic approach, although it has become popular among some physicians in European and Asian nations and is widely used by the public in over-the-counter medications.

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
NEW YORK (AP) — Emergency workers found a body Sunday in the mass of rubble left behind by an apparent gas explosion three days earlier in Manhattan's East Village, police said.
Former Hewlett Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina said Sunday she is more than "90 percent" likely to seek the Republican nomination in the 2016 presidential election. Fiorina, a former advisor to defeated Republican candidate John McCain in the 2008 White House race, told "Fox News Sunday" she was in the process of putting a team and campaign warchest together. Fiorina, 60, headed Hewlett Packard for six years until 2005, when she was forced to resign after the company's share price plummeted.
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — A two-day Arab summit ended Sunday with a vow to defeat Iranian-backed Shiite rebels in Yemen and the formal unveiling of plans to form a joint Arab intervention force, setting the stage for a potentially dangerous clash between U.S.-allied Arab states and Tehran over influence in the region.

What is Ho'oponopono?
Ho'oponopono Frequently Asked Questions
Below, are some frequently asked questions. I deal with many of these topics in my books and seminars.
What is Ho'oponopono?
Ho'oponopono is a very ancient Hawaiian art of problem solving. Ho'oponopono is a very ancient Hawaiian art of problem solving. The original Hawaiians, the first people who lived in Hawaii, used to practice it. Morrnah Simeona (Ihaleakalá's teacher) brought these teachings to us and updated them for modern times.
Who was Morrnah Simeona?
"Clean, erase, erase and find your own PEACE. Where? Within yourself".
Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona (May 19, 1913 – February 11, 1992) was the creator of Self-I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono. She founded Pacifica Seminars in the 1970s. She was recognized as a Kahuna Iapa'au (healer) in Hawaii and honored by the State of Hawaii as a Living Treasure in 1983.
"The main purpose of this process is to discover the Divinity within oneself. Ho'oponopono is a profound gift which allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past", Morrnah said.
Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono uses techniques to create a working partnership among the three parts of the mind or self: subconscious, conscious and superconscious. This allows us to reclaim our personal inner connection with love, our Divine Source, resulting in peace, harmony and freedom.
Morrnah left her updated version of this ancient Hawaiian philosophy of problem solving to mankind as a gift to be shared and practiced.
Before that version, the way to practice Ho'oponopono was with the whole family present. Nobody could be absent. There was a moderator and each member had the chance to ask forgiveness from the others. Nowadays families don't live close or together as they once did. To reunite the whole family and put them all in a room at the same time would not be simple.
Which is your relationship with Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len?
Dr. Ihaleakalá is my Ho'oponopono teacher. He worked, traveled and presented with Morrnah for years. He also updated the Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono in order to make it even easier and more applicable to modern times. The new process became individualized so that it could be practiced alone. However, it still works very effectively in all our family line. What is erased from us is also erased from our families, relatives and ancestors. 90% of our problems come from our ancestors!
Ihaleakalá once told me: "If I had told you ten years ago that there was nobody out there, you would have run away as fast as you could". Now we are ready to entertain the idea that it is just our thoughts (memories) of our family. There is really nobody "out there"; everything is inside of us and our memories. I remember one afternoon Ihaleakalá returned from walking with tears in his eyes and told me: "I have just realized that all God is asking from us, is to take good care of ourselves and to say "I'm sorry" as if we were little children. That is it".
How did you start teaching Ho'oponopono
I took my first seminar with Ihaleakalá in July 1997 in Omaha, Nebraska; that was when I invited him to come to Los Angeles and realized I had found The Easiest Way I had been looking for.
Throughout the twelve years I lived with Ihaleakalá, I traveled with him to Amsterdam, Brussels, France, England, Argentina and many places in the United States. He shared with me all the cleaning tools that would come to him during consultations, training meditations and long walks in Woodland Hills, a suburb in Los Angeles.
Between 2000 and 2001 I felt in my heart that I could teach Ho'oponopono. I asked the Foundation of I, Inc. (Freedom of the Cosmos) and they decided to meditate on it –since the secrets of Ho'oponopono are not rational, but "acquired" by those who live with them- until finally they gave me their blessing. That was when I started teaching it. I taught Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono (SITH) on behalf of the Foundation for many years, until in 2004 I asked permission to create my own Ho'oponopono seminars using the material of the Foundation. That was how I got the permission.
In November 2008, after many years of having a double career, I decided to leave my very stable career as a tax accountant in Los Angeles, not because I had savings or was debt free, on the contrary. But, as always, every time I did illogical things, made non-sense decisions, but trusted, I got the most amazing results. Now I am debt free and travel the world teaching Ho'oponopono in a very practical and down to earth way. The SECRET of Ho'oponopono is applied to the change of paradigms we live in this moment.
Can I teach Ho'oponopono to other people after taking the seminar?
Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len says: "The material of Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono is spiritual. Using this material implies huge preparation and cleaning. Using copyright material without authorization from the Foundation as a springboard brings very negative consequences. On the other hand, for those who use it for themselves, the benefits are enormous. The decision is yours".
Personally, before I started teaching Ho'oponopono I probably took the seminar about 200 times, at least. That is why I am surprised when people think that because they took it once, they already know it well and can teach it. That shows and confirms how limited our intellect can be. Besides, Ho'oponopono is not only taught through words. For example, the room has to be prepared in a very special way and we need to have the blessing of the Universe (the permission to transmit) so that it can help us clean (that is why the miracles happen many times during and after the seminar and even to people who take them in absence for the benefit of being there and receiving those blessings). Also, we need to know how to clean automatically in order to come from inspiration; otherwise we could even harm people by giving the wrong information, because we don't know what is correct and perfect for them. The intellect listens in a very limited way and then makes its own interpretations. Many times it doesn't even listen because it is very busy thinking and giving its opinion, then when they transmit it is like the game of the broken telephone, when it gets to people, the information has been changed!!
To make it clearer, one of the most important things we learn in the Ho'oponopono seminar is that we are the ones that have to do it. We learn that we can change it; that what is erased from us is erased from everyone and that when we change, everything and everybody changes as well; if we want to help, we have to do the job ourselves!; there is nobody out there. So, who are you going to teach? There you realize that they did not understand it. Not to mention the ones who think they have learnt everything through the Internet and believe they know.
Listen as Mabel Katz explains Ho'oponopono
Thank you Mabel,
I was listening to one of your interviews on divorce. I have to tell you my personal story: I have been married for 30 years. All these years we've been going through economical issues. I used to tell myself: "Oh my gosh! Something is wrong! The same issues keep coming up." I would blame my husband. I'm a Virgo, and I had a victim mentality (I cannot live with so much uncertainty). Anyways, lots of problems. Playing with my cell phone I found this technique. Since that moment, my life started changing. All the pieces where falling into place. I realized that many things that had happened to me, I had already thought about them before. Today, after nine months of practicing, although my economic condition still remains, the relationship with my husband is better than ever. There is nobody to blame. My husband became a different person. When I look at him I feel true love, the good kind. We even laugh when its uncertain if we'll afford a trip to the supermarket. Our kids tell us they are happy. They tell us that many people live in worse conditions than ours. So I thank God for putting me through this. Today I know that love is the most wonderful tool in the world. Ho'oponopono did not lead us to a divorce. On the contrary, it got me closer to my husband!
I love you!
- Maria Mercedes, Spain
Just wanted to say again… These last few Q and A's for me have been such powerful teachings. The advice to Trust God and Clean on the replaying memories and Let go... I just kept cleaning when I could, even though the memories were playing fastball with me. Thank you dear memories, I love you, I embrace you. I was on the floor and God picked me up, dusted me off and said "You can do this" (not in those words or in that way).
The experience was of what it was like to just flow instead of judging, coping, managing, judging, judging, and judging. It is a breakthrough for me and I am so appreciative... so, so, so appreciative and grateful for this. It felt easy, too. I was so busy thinking about how to do everything I was kind of paralyzing Kala, my Unihipili. When it felt like too much, and I finally just cleaned and really let it go and gave it to God, Kala let go, and we had an experience of Peace and Happiness.
Thank you Mabel, for this invaluable Forum and these Q and A's and your Love. Thank you Forum.
Thank you Mary for the unending Love you give on a daily basis to all of us.
Thank you Moonbeam for the Dewdrops of Wisdom you share.
Thank you Morrnah.
Thank you, Thank-you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Hello dear Mabel:
I've been thinking about sending to you these two experiences I had with this wonderful technique.
Here is the first one: One day I was cleaning my memories regarding the academic grades from one of my twin sons aged 13, who had to perform well at multiple exams to pass his school year which was about to end. I repeated a "trigger word" and suddenly I heard an authoritative voice that said, "Say this tool." My son passed his school year. I had never heard anything in several years I've been doing the cleaning.
The other testimony is this: My other twin son is special. For this situation, I receive school aid from the company I work for, which is part of the state. Last year, when I received the notification that my son would only receive $ 2.000.0000 (Colombian pesos) (much less than half of the previous year), I was shocked, but said, "Thank you, thank you". I talked with the chief in Human Resources and he confirmed that the budget had decreased. Well, I started to clean with my other son, the one I mentioned before, thinking that I would obtain the rest of the money winning the lottery or something like that (because once I needed money for another situation like this, and got it that way. This was long before I practiced Ho'oponopono). But time passed and I did not win anything, so I gave up on how I would get the money. My son told me I would be paid the full amount, and I replied that I wouldn't, because when state institutions already establish a budget, they cannot change it.
I received the visit of the new principal advisor, asking about the concerns in this region. I told her about my son's aid, and she confirmed what I had said to my son, but he insisted that they were going to give me that money. A month after the visit of the advisor, I turned on my computer, and I saw an email announcing 100% for the special aid, but this would be for the term of 2015 (although this was already good news because it was the first time they awarded this percentage which was notified well in advance). I mentioned this to my son, we kept on cleaning, and he insisted that the money would be paid in full. Well, it turned out that on November 29 last year, I called the Human Resources office and they informed me that there was a balance amounting to $ 4,511,000 (Colombian pesos) and had been assigned to my child, receiving a total of $ 6,511,000… More than last year!
With this situation, I learned that problems are opportunities to receive blessings and we should not try to solve things from the intellect.
God bless you for your teachings.
-Lizette - Colombia.
I'm an obstetrician from Cuba, Jalisco. I live with my beautiful 9 years old daughter and my wonderful husband, doctor by profession. He suffers from diabetes with an amputation of his two legs. He is a radiologist, we both work in a clinic. I want to thank Mabel for existing. The day I saw Mabel on a radio interview streamed online, I was able to sleep like a new born baby. I feel more at peace now that I practice Ho'oponopono every day. Our patients also feel the harmony and joy during consultations. We finish work very late and don't realize how fast time goes by. Our family has true love. Once more, I want to thank Mabel for existing. May God preserve her for many years.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
A fraternal embrace,

Hi Mabel,
I want to congratulate you for being a peace award winner, for your seminars and your conferences. I haven't been able to attend any of these events yet. I'm very grateful for the people that are able to attend, and I bless you always. Do you remember me? A few months ago, I desperately shared that I had problems with my 15 year old daughter, my sister, and my mom. I listened to your words; I cleaned nonstop day and night. First, the relationship with my daughter improved. Then, time went by and my father in law passed away. My mom and dad received the news, and after many months of not seeing each other, they came to see my husband for support. Two days later, my sister gave birth to her first baby. I was very angry at her, but out of nowhere, a few days later I asked my husband if he wanted to go see my sister's baby. We both went, it seems incredible, but I realized all the suffering she had gone through. It was a life lesson. They performed a C-section, it became infected, and she needed to be hospitalized. She wanted me by her side. I told her to say: "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you". I constantly repeated these words to the baby and he gave me a look, sort of understanding what I was saying. He is a very calm baby. Everything ended good, and today we are better than before.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mabel. I love you, I love you, and I love you.
Oh! I almost forgot! I'm 44 years old, last night I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I keep cleaning.
- Gabriela, Argentina
Back in August, I decided to go to a nutritionist in order to improve my eating habits. For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm on diet. Even better, I choose to eat healthy, which means I don't have to be hungry or suffer!
I lost 15 kg, but I still have some more to go! Last week I got a blood test (It's something that makes me feel a bit nervous, that even my blood pressure goes down). I repeated "thank you, thank and thank you", before, during and after the blood test. During the test, I didn't even feel the needle. The nurse was very sweet to me. The process didn't leave any marks! I told the little girl inside me it wouldn't hurt, and to be calm. That day in the afternoon I decided to reward her with a delicious snack.
I send you a big hug,
- Gimena, Argentina
Ho'oponopono is a very nice tool that saved my life. Ho'oponopono showed me the way and it fills me with happiness, humility and joy. Ho'oponopono never stops. The most beautiful part is that it's eternal like the Universe. It teaches us more everyday, and shows us lovely things that live in our hearts and our being. Blessed be the day that I found you Mabel, and you taught me "The Easiest Way". Thank you, I love you.
- Juan Manuel, Chile
Hi everybody!
Some days ago I started practicing Ho'oponopono, moment by moment. The last two days something very special happened to me. Apparently, I kept memories of guilt regarding the relationship with the father of my daughter, because he cheated on me. Suddenly, I read a message, I felt lighter and I repeated "Thank You". Today, searching on Facebook, I saw an article on how to eliminate stretch marks. I have a few due to my pregnancy. Suddenly, I closed the article and realized how much I love my body, and how grateful I am to have my daughter in my life. Thank youuuu, thank youuuu, and thank you!!!
- Mercedes, Puerto Rico

N.H. Supreme Court Upholds Addison Conviction, Will Review Death Penalty
The state Supreme Court has upheld the capital murder conviction of Michael Addison, but says it will need further review before ruling on his death sentence.
In a 243-page ruling released this afternoon, the justices unanimously affirmed Addison's conviction for fatally shooting Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006.
The justices said they found no reversible error with regard to Addison's appeal of his conviction.
However, the justices said they need additional briefing and oral argument regarding the quote-comparative proportionality before issuing a final ruling on Addison's death sentence.
Addison was convicted in November 2008, and sentenced to death a month later.
If Addison's sentence were upheld, he would be the first person executed in New Hampshire since 1939.
