Worm castings
Hey all--I bought a big bag of worm castings at the farmer's market for my garden, and I have a bunch left over.
Do citrus trees benefit from worm castings? I have a young lemon tree, a young orange tree and a young avocado tree, and they seem to be doing OK. I just wondered how much they would benefit if I spread some worm castings around their drip zone.
Absolutely, Sandiegodude. I put down worm casting under all my fruit trees, citrus, avos, stone fruit. Also under my roses. I topped that with composted mulch. It really helps to restore micronutrients into the soil, keep the harmful microbes down and keep the soil moist. I do this at least once a year, and if I'm not too lazy, twice a year. We have a couple of worm farms here in SD county, and they do a very nice job of producing castings. I get mine a the Vista Farmer's Market :-) Just make sure you keep about a 2 to 3" clear diameter around your trunk mulch-free to prevent the bark from staying moist and rotting. For us in S. Calif., mulching can improve our soils, reduce the pH a bit, and help retain moisture. Now, in other areas of the country, mulching citrus may NOT be a good idea, as it may cause to much moisture to be retained and lead to root rot, but for us in S. California, it appears to be beneficial.
Patty S.
Here is a link that might be useful: Texas A&M: Compost Effects in 'Rio Red' Grapefruit Production on a Heavy Textured Soil
Worm casting would always be of benefit to the soil, and subsequently to any kind of plant planted in the soil. The only time I would not suggest that you use them (in large amounts) is in container gardening, where they might 'clog' up the porous potting mix texture that is so essential to healthy container grown plants.
Thanks guys!
@Patty -- I got this bag at the Vista Farmer's Market too. It's been sitting in my garage for a month and then it just dawned on me, I bet my fruit trees would love it!
I have a very clay soil so any opportunity to give it more nutrients I'm up for.
I'll do that this weekend. Thanks everyone!
Oh boy, I am getting the feeling that worm castings will be like fine gold..getting more expensive as they become popular..It use to cost me 20 buck for a 5 gallon bucket! I use them on all my perennials including trees and they thrive with that stuff!
Why not harvest your own worm castings? I do it with a bin in my basement. It really is an easy way to get castings. Paper waste, veg and fruit (not too much citrus ironically), coffee grounds. Doesn't smell. I use the castings for seedlings, and plan on using them for propagating my citrus trees for friends. I use a worm inn , purchased on Amazon, but you can use any kind of bin. Plenty of info on YouTube. Kev.

EU In/Out? Is a referendum the best way?

I'd always thought we were a Parliamentary Democracy, and, as such, we elect paid representatives to take difficult decisions on our behalf.
Membership of Europe is a difficult , complicated topic, and most people (including myself) would be hard pushed to appreciate all the pros and cons - so the populace will now be bombarded by media propaganda aimed at the lowest common denominator, I suspect.
Loads of 'crazy' EU stories will emerge and be fed to the Great British public, with 'good' EU stories being more difficult to show. Hence the media barons will, once again, get their way and politicians can then 'blame' us if it turns out bad.
Weak leadership I'm afraid.

The discussions at the time of the Ted Heath recommendation were predicated on our ability to trade freely with Europe. There was no mention of total unity or indeed of the many other features since imposed.
As for your lack of optimism in the ability of the UK population to analyse facts, I can only believe you include yourself and all others who have commented in this discussion in your slur. Such a disagreeable statement made by anyone else would have caused you to respond or perhaps delete it.

Going back to the '74 referendum the single question asked of us then was: "Do you think the UK should stay in the European Community (Common Market)?"
I voted 'Yes' mainly because I knew that we needed to be in to make our trading position stronger in Europe. What I and millions of others didn't vote for, or were asked, was that we would meakly hand over important 'powers' to the EU that should have stayed in our own parliament.
As for the coming referendum, well I am not yet convinced to say yes at this time. Maybe between now and the new referendum day things may have changed for the better for Great Britain and I will decide then. TC.

It is interesting that "The EU" , whoever they are, are seeking "ever closer union", yet many parts of the EU are seeking devolution (Scotland, maybe Wales,Catalonia, The Basques etc) This "Balkanisation" of Europe could rebound on the protagonists, giving more power to Brussels.
I think that is why the "EU" seem to be a bit wobbly on the Scottish devolution issue ie they do not wish to be seen to encourage Catalonia etc to follow suit.
I wish , somehow, that a new "Europe" could emerge along the lines of the USA or Germany with its Lander system where the powers of the central HQ are strictly limited. A truly Federal Europe as envisaged by some is unlikely to succeed in the near future - just look at foreign policy alone - who would have agreed, for example, to the re taking of the Falklands under such a system?

It helps to listen to Cameron's full unedited speech (about 40 minutes worth) rather than the news bulletin snippets that are broadcast to suit whichever bias is being touted. It's not as scarey as some have suggested, it's more of a public EU dressing down over all the fears we have of the direction in which it's steering.
Interestingly, he refers to 'wanting what we thought we were getting when we joined', despite what some on this forum insist was meant to the contrary in '75. And he certainly does't speak of our ability to make the decision in a condescending manner.

That referendum was fixed so that it didn't really matter what anybody really wanted, there was no way of stating it.
As an ordinary sort of bloke I understood it was for inclusion in the common market. So I voted "Yes". If it had been for a fully fledged European United State or States I would have said "Yes" at that time too. But it wasn't.
After watching the way this country has been treated by France, Germany and others, if we get a chance to opt out now by voting then I would be all for coming out. But there is no way this government is going to allow us to have that type of vote. Oh, yes! we may get the semi promised vote, if Cameron and his gang get in again. But it will be so worded that most of us will not understand it, and if we think we do understand it we will be wrong. We will end up voting for the opposite of what we really want.

I do not like homogenized milk and i do not think an homogenized Europe can work free from the power of national sentiment and the strength of the cultures underpinning that sentiment, these serve to undermine the federal european project.
In the USA a diverse people forged a new identity in a new world from scratch,the old world is still behoven to a tradition forged through centuries of conflict and relative peace,i may be wrong and probably will be but the time for this brave new Europe is,probably, not now.
Maybe like the USA it will take longer than we or the EU understand.
It is a condition of the future that change is inevitable,maybe if it was managed better it would be less problematical.

Just trying to think back to the first vote for the EU and I cannot remember if it was just a vote for the EU or was it bundled with the Local election votes.
Anybody actually know what % of people voted was it low High I just cannot remember if I actually voted or not and if I did not I can only assume it came bundled with Local Election votes.

Should have searched first. 67.2% in favour, with a turnout of 64.0%.
Edward Heath did not hold a referendum before the United Kingdom joined.
I suppose as we had already joined the EU without a referendum I suppose the yes vote was probably as we are already in we are as well staying in.

OkCupid is a free friendship, dating and social networking website that features member-created quizzes and multiple-choice questions. The site supports multiple modes of communication, including instant messages and emails. OkCupid was listed in Time magazine's 2007 Top 10 dating websites.[2][dead link] The website is part of the "Match Developing" unit of IAC/InterActiveCorp's Match division.[3]
OkCupid was owned by Humor Rainbow, Inc. OkCupid's founders (Chris Coyne, Christian Rudder, Sam Yagan, and Max Krohn) were students at Harvard University when they gained recognition for their creation of TheSpark and, later, SparkNotes. Among other things, TheSpark.com featured a number of humorous self-quizzes and personality tests, including the four-variable Myers-Briggs style Match Test. SparkMatch debuted as a beta experiment of allowing registered users who had taken the Match Test to search for and contact each other based on their Match Test types. The popularity of SparkMatch took off and it was launched as its own site, later renamed OkCupid. The current OkCupid Dating Persona Test is still largely identical, in question and text blurb content and order, to the original Match Test. In 2001, they sold SparkNotes to Barnes & Noble, and began work on OkCupid.[4]
In 2007, OkCupid launched Crazy Blind Date.[5][6]
In 2008, OkCupid spun off its test-design portion under the name Hello Quizzy (HQ),[7] while keeping it inextricably linked to OkCupid and reserving existent OkCupid users' names on HQ.[7]
Since August 2009, an "A-list" account option is available to users of OkCupid and provides additional services for a monthly fee.[8]
In February 2011, OkCupid was acquired by IAC/InterActiveCorp, operators of Match.com, for US$50 million.[9] Editorial posts from 2010 by an OkCupid founder—Match.com and pay-dating were criticized for exploiting users and being "fundamentally broken"—were removed from the OkCupid blog at the time of the acquisition.[10] In a press response, OkCupid's CEO explained that the removal was voluntary.[11]
In November 2012, OkCupid launched the social discovery service Tallygram,[12] but retired the service, in April 2013.[13]
On March 31, 2014 any user accessing OKCupid from Firefox was presented with a message asking users to boycott the internet browser due to new CEO Brendan Eich's support of Proposition 8. Users were asked instead to consider other browsers;[14][15][16] on April 2, 2014, the dating site revoked the Firefox ban.[17][18]
Rudder updated the "OkTrends" blog, which consists of "original research and insights from OkCupid," for the first time in three years in July 2014. Entitled "We Experiment On Human Beings!," the post discusses three experiments run by the website without the knowledge of users. Rudder prefaces the experiment results by stating: "... if you use the Internet, you're the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site. That's how websites work."[19]
OkCupid claimed 3.5 million active users as of September 2010. According to Compete.com, the website attracted 1.3 million unique visitors in February 2011.[20]
The site used to have a highly active journal/blogging community as well. Journals are not available to new members and the feature is now "retired." Members have the option of saving favorite user profiles, which display the favorited person's responses to questions and profile updates on the member's front page.
Any adult may join the site and all users may communicate with others via private messages or an instant messaging "chat" function. A-List (paying) members see no advertising and have more filtering options and preferential placement in an "A-List Matches" section of search results. A-list members can also browse openly while choosing whether or not their profile is displayed to those they visited.[21]
OkTrends, the official blog of OkCupid, presents statistical observations from OkCupid user interactions, to explore data from the online dating world.
To generate matches, OkCupid applies data generated by users' activities on the site,[22] as well as their answers to questions. When answering a question, a user indicates his or her own answer, the answers he or she would accept from partners, and the level of importance he or she places on the question. The results of these questions can be made public. OkCupid describes in detail the algorithm used to calculate match percentages. The site notifies a user if someone likes that user.
Users who receive high ratings may be notified by email that they are in the "top half of OkCupid's most attractive users" and "will now see more attractive people in [their] match results". The email also reads "And, no, we didn't just send this email to everyone on OkCupid. Go ask an ugly friend and see".[23][24]

The police here on Thursday arrested a woman for trying to sell her one-month-old nephew.
A case has been registered against Savithri, a native of Ballupete, and the boy has been handed over to the Child Welfare Committee.
The police said Savithri's unmarried elder sister, who is mentally challenged, gave birth to the baby at a hospital here. During her stay at the hospital, Savithri met a woman from Chikmagalur who had a daughter and was expecting her second child. She wanted to adopt the baby boy as her second child turned out to be a girl.
After holding discussions about adoption, they decided to leave the child with her mother for a month to keep him in good health.
The police arrested Savithri and Imtiyaz, a relative of the woman from Chikmagalur, while holding negotiations. Though Savithri demanded Rs. 15,000, Imtiyaz wanted to strike the deal for a lesser amount.
Savithri told the police that she was the only earning member in the family and she tried to sell the child as it was difficult for her to meet the expenses.
Madhura, chairman of the Child Welfare Committee, told The Hindu that the child had been admitted to the child care home of the Women and Child Development Department.
Meanwhile, the woman from Chikmagalur and her husband told the committee that they wanted to adopt the child.
"The adoption law gives preference to those who do not have children. The couple already has two children," she said. Ms. Madhura said the child would be handed over only to her mother if she made a formal request.

Chinavasion Pico Projector
It seems like Linux runs on just about everything these days from phones to televisions, and as my August 2010 column shows, it even can power a refrigerator. In fact, I bet many Linux users have become a bit jaded about it and almost expect electronics to have Linux under the hood—I know I have. Even so, I found myself surprised and intrigued when I heard about a pico projector sold by Chinavasion that runs Linux (www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-projector-with-wifi-wireless-remote). Once I read the specs and discovered it had built-in wireless networking, an SD card slot and supported USB host mode, I started daydreaming about all the possibilities. Sure, you could use the projector for its intended purpose—playing media files—but imagine if you could access the Linux user space underneath. I knew I had to get one, and I had to try to hack into it. Read on for my review of the device and a chronicle of my adventures with it so far.
In a sense, this article is two reviews. First, I review the product as it's sold, then I discuss what I found when I looked under the hood. Chinavasion was kind enough to send me a review unit and was even open to my hacking on it, as long as I made it clear that taking it apart or messing around under the hood would void the warranty. At the time of this writing, the projector costs $235 and includes the projector itself, an IR remote control, a small IR keyboard, the power cable and adapter to US outlets, a tripod and an RCA cable. The projector itself has the following specs as listed from the product page:
Dimensions: 137mm x 77mm x 23mm
Projector: 10 lumen LED projector at 640x480
802.11b/g wireless support
SD card slot
USB port with USB host adapter support
Two-hour battery life
Two-thousand-hour lamp life
Video: VOB, MPEG1/2/4 AVI, XVID
Audio: MP3, WMA, AAC
Photo: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP
I have to say, I'm still new enough to pico projectors that I'm amazed they have been able to fit a projector into such a small space (Figure 1). I mean, I can fit this projector in my back pocket, and it's about the size of a pack of cards only longer. However, that small size comes at a price—brightness. Where your average full-size projector might sport more than 2,000 lumens, this projector sits at a fraction of that with 10 lumens. That means you will want to use this in a rather dark room, preferably at night. Also, although the Web site lists the projector as supporting up to a 70-inch projection size, you'll find better results the closer the projector is to the surface.
The first thing you notice when you power on the projector isn't the brightness—it's the sound. No, that's not a jet engine—it's the fan. It turns out that the LED lamp gets quite hot, and as any overclocker knows, when you want to cool a computer quietly, you want a large fan so the blades can spin at a lower RPM. When you have a small space and must use a small fan, you have to resort to very high RPMs to pull enough cool air through the system. It really sounds a lot like the fans you'll find in many 1U servers. Even with the fan, you'll notice after the projector has been on for a while, the metal surface gets quite hot. Apparently this is expected, but I still wouldn't put this projector on a bed or your lap. Luckily, the speaker is loud enough to drown out most of the fan noise. I personally find the sound of fans soothing (I spent many years sleeping near a full-size desktop with fans running 24x7), but I imagine the fan noise will bother some people.
The projector has a simple interface that you can navigate either with buttons on the device itself or through the included IR remote control or keyboard (Figure 2). Basically, you move left and right through the different operating modes and press Enter to select a particular mode. The device I received included modes to play videos and music, display photos, do limited video and music streaming, and had a calendar and a weather app. I have to say that the interface itself isn't impressive or flashy at all—it's just a few icons and simple menus to get you to the media you want to play.

Dan Hurley plans to stay at URI
OTL: Rutgers Fallout
- OTL: Rutgers Fallout
OTL: Rutgers FalloutRutgers University president Dr. Robert Barchi has come under fire for his handling of the Mike Rice scandal, which erupted after video of the head coach physically and verbally abusing his players was made public.

- Latest On Mike Rice Firing
Latest On Mike Rice FiringDon Van Natta Jr. discusses the latest detail in the firing of Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice.
Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said he has had no talks with Rutgers officials about replacing the fired Mike Rice, and that he is looking forward to returning next season to a Rams team expected to be vastly improved from its 8-21 predecessor.
Though a source close to the situation said Rutgers intermediaries have reached out to a number of Hurley's associates and family members in the wake of the Rutgers scandal that claimed the jobs of Rice and athletic director Tim Pernetti, among others, Hurley on Sunday told ESPN Radio's "The Ian O'Connor Show" he plans on remaining at Rhode Island.
"I've had no conversations [with Rutgers]," Hurley, a former Rutgers assistant and an ex-head coach at New Jersey prep powerhouse St. Benedict's, and the son of St. Anthony of Jersey City coaching legend Bob Hurley Sr., said Sunday morning in his first interview since the scandal broke. "Obviously because of the [Hurley] name and because of our history in New Jersey, there's going to be a natural connection to be made there.
ESPN Radio
Rhode Island head basketball coach, Danny Hurley, joined the Ian O'Connor show and says he's had no contact with Rutgers despite rumors.
"For me, my family loves Rhode Island, loves the people there. We've adjusted really, really well to living outside of New Jersey for the first time in our lives. Two of my three years as a college coach have been in rebuilding situations, and that's a tough thing to go through. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of wear and tear on you.
"The opportunity to come back to Rhode Island next year and coach a team that hopefully can make a huge jump with all the talent we're now going to bring onto the court next year, I'm excited ... to coach this group of kids that I'm going to be fortunate enough to coach next year."
Pernetti announced his resignation as Rutgers' athletic director Friday, two days after he fired Rice. It was unclear what the school's timetable was for hiring a new AD and coach.
SI.com reported Saturday night that Hurley was close to a two-year extension that would keep him under contract at Rhode Island through 2020. Asked on "The Ian O'Connor Show" if he was indeed close to a deal that would eliminate him as a Rutgers candidate, Hurley didn't specifically address his contract.
Inside The Rutgers Investigation
From the first instincts to a final decision on the punishment of former basketball coach Mike Rice, Don Van Natta Jr. looks inside the 17-day investigation at Rutgers. Story
"We've had ongoing conversations for the last several months about the things that we need as a program to close that competitive balance with where the Atlantic 10 is going as a conference, to try to have the things for our program and our players that enhance their development ... and just get it on par with the people we're competing against in our conference," Hurley said.
"I'm really happy with where I am right now, and getting these things in place programmatically so that we can elevate the program at the University of Rhode Island to a point where maybe we're playing this time of the year in the future. But having those things in place I think is critical for me as a competitor.
"I want to be in position where I can take a program to the highest levels of college basketball, and the commitment that I think we're on the verge of making at Rhode Island, and with all the recruiting and the level we're going to coach guys at, I'm really excited to be there and want to be there."
SportsNation: Rutgers Cleans House
Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti has resigned. Should the school fire president Robert Barchi?
• Vote!
Hurley has a highly regarded circle of transfers that become eligible next season, including former Rutgers player Gil Biruta, who was among those allegedly subjected to Rice's verbal abuse. Hurley's class of incoming freshmen includes Michigan's E.C. Matthews, ranked among the top 100 recruits in the nation.
Hurley built a 223-21 record at St. Benedict's of Newark (N.J.) before taking over a losing program at Wagner College. He went 25-6 in his second season there before leaving for another rebuilding job at Rhode Island with his older brother Bobby, the former Duke All-American who's now the head coach at the University at Buffalo. Unless URI officials unexpectedly reverse field and decline Hurley's requests for program upgrades, it appears he won't be heading to Rutgers.
"Rutgers has always been a place that a lot of people in the business and in the state have always felt had a lot of potential," Hurley said. "For one reason or another, whether it's timing or fit, it just hasn't worked out great for the last 25 years, 30 years or so, in terms of having great, great success.
"I think a couple of coaches have been on the verge of it. They'll find somebody that will be able to come in there and stabilize the program hopefully, because they have some enormous challenges on the horizon going into one of the best conferences in the country with all of the stuff they have swirling around."

Kettlebell and HIIT style routines both offer a great way to get in a quick intense workout that burn a ridiculously high number of calories per minute. Why not combine the two and make a workout that has the best of both worlds. The resulting routine out is the aptly named "Brutal Kettlebell HIIT Cardio Tabata Workout". Let me give a bit of forewarning before you attempt this video; it is not intended for the beginner and though you can make it easier by using lighter kettlebells the nature of the exercises and motions will tax your cardiovascular and pulmonary systems not to mention make most of your body feel like jello when you are done. The Tabata set up of 20 seconds on and 10 seconds of rest is very aggressive for even 5 minutes at a time and this routine has you going straight through without longer than 10 seconds break for a full 18 minutes. With that said feel free to pause the video and take as much extra rest as you need to help you complete this routine straight through.
This routine is best done with a full set of kettlebells or like we use, an adjustable kettlebell; however you can use just one kettlebell for all the exercises though it will have to be light to not make it too hard for some of the more difficult exercises. For those of you that don't have access to even one kettlebell, let alone a full set, most of these exercises can easily be modified to use a dumbbell, or some other weighted object so don't skip this one just because you don't have any kettlebells.
Other than this routine being a fun way to challenge yourself to improve your endurance and strength, it is also a calorie burning powerhouse beating out even the average HIIT workout. This routine boasts a massive 24 calorie per minute on the high end and a 14 calorie per minute on the low end. This is most affected by the weight you are using but almost as important is your own individual level of effort you put into each exercise. This high calorie per minute burn gives a total of 432 to 252 calories burned in just 18 minutes. What is even better is that this style of routine also boasts a high afterburn effect, increasing the calories you burn over the course of the next 48 to 36 hours even when you are sleeping.
We did not include a warm up or a cool down in this video but we highly recommend that you do one of your own as a proper warm up can reduce your chances of injury and a cool down can lower your chances or severity of being sore the next day.
If you tend to workout in a location where you don't have access to the internet then you can print out the list of exercises below and run through them on your own. We do recommend watching the video first however as we include helpful tips on form and modifications.

10/31/14 3:22pmPuts the FEC! in Effective...heh heh heh....halfway through i was like "aw gee man i really freekin' hope this is only one round through for all of this!!! OI! Thanks for a perfect, wellness- break- time- at- work length workout!!
10/08/14 7:28amAwesome
08/15/14 1:47pmkillermilitaryfeelkickmyassworkout!!
08/15/14 7:38amShew that was rough! Especially since I added it to another 30 minute hiit routine. Gluten for punishment. Oh well, it's done..lol..next time I recommend starting with the bicep curls as I was so stinkin sweaty I kept slipping! lol! Thanks guys!
06/25/14 3:29pmI find that doing HIIT on my own gets boring. Plus, I never push myself as hard as I do when I'm using this killer coached HIIT album I found on iTunes: http://bit.ly/HIIT_Mix_iTunes.
03/25/14 6:41amHow do you add workouts to your favorites list? I must be missing something easy, thanks!
03/24/14 9:43amI did this and the brutal one with Kelli and i love to see more workouts like those.. When im doing it im like this is stupid but i keep pushing and when im done i feel so proud of myselff. And im stil waiting for the killer kettlebell butt and thighwork out by Keli . I been screaming i wanted that one all over youtube , facebook and your site. Yes im adicted to fitnessblender. Love u guys.
03/11/14 3:27pmI read somewhere that Tabata was the 'greatest fat burning workout ever'. I had my doubts, but decided to try it. I started looking for Tabata-style workouts and came across a great audio workout on iTunes. It has a personal trainer pushing you through an entire Tabata routine, along with driving Tabata music, and start/stop cues. It doesn't require any equipment but it seriously kicks my butt every time: http://bit.ly/TabataCoach_iTunes
01/27/14 9:03pmKicked my rear end. I love it. Broke a sweat and my heart is racing. 30 and still going strong. Thanks guys. You're awesome
12/08/13 4:15amI loved this, and i would be happy to see more workouts like this :) I felt amazing :)) Thanks a lot !
11/08/13 10:50amKILLER
10/24/13 11:53amYou guys know exactly how to make me weep, I love you! I must admit there were not a few curse words said when "Next Up: BURPEES HAHAHA" came up. I'm a long-distance runner and these videos are perfect for strength days and my but-its-chilly-outside sickness arrives!
09/25/13 5:31amgreat video
08/15/13 5:01amNice work out ! Let your body HIIT the floor !
07/18/13 9:00amThis was a fantastically well thought out full-body routine. I know the focus was on the core, however it produced a lovely, and productive, pump and burning in all the major muscle groups.
07/16/13 11:13pmWhew! So tired after this workout... but I'm doing it again soon!
07/14/13 2:14pmAmazing! I'm panting.
06/30/13 7:49pmThis was perfect! I'm just upset that I don't have a kettlebell heavier than 20. Still, I'm sweatin so I know it's working!
06/27/13 6:54amOne of my favorites! I've done it 3x now and it still kills me...I just love this workout :D
06/26/13 10:58amI think this is the 2nd time I've done this--still brutal as heck. One of my top favorites now.
06/07/13 10:29amYet another great workout. I agree with the above about demoing a dumbell. It'd help us kettlebell-less folk.;)
05/19/13 3:58amBrutal, great thank you !
05/16/13 12:51pmI thought, "off-day, no big lifting, but still want to sweat, no biggie," and promptly was a sweating, quivering mess. Awesome.
04/22/13 6:01pmLove this workout!!
03/19/13 12:33pmGreat workout, I was just wondering if there was an option on the site where the workout videos can be sorted by degree of difficulty, thanks!
06/07/13 10:30amWhen you search workouts, you can select the level you are looking for. 5 is the highest. You can search for the hardest that way.
03/17/13 5:53amHmmm...I just finished this workout, then went to look at myself in the mirror. For some reason, I don't look exactly like you, Daniel. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Well, or maybe it was the lighting. Yeah, that must be it - the lighting.
03/11/13 3:27amWow! I did not expect this to be so exhausting! .Thanks for a great workout :)
03/08/13 9:10amLove this!!!! Quite a burn indeed. You guys are the GREATEST! it would be so helpful if you could demo the use of dumb bells on the 2nd or 3rd round. I was wondering about the technique of using a DB For the L&R snatches and if the DB is held vertical or horizontal for the crush curl. Thanks again for making it fun!!
03/07/13 2:53pmThe 'WORKOUT COMPLETE' screen has never looked so sweet!! Another great workout!! Love your kettlebell workouts! Thanks once again guys!!

Dusthouse produced theatre trailer for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Titus Andronicus.
A Roman General returns from a brutal ten year war to bury the sons he has lost in conflict. To honour their deaths he executes the eldest child of his enemies' Queen.
The end of the war and this final act of sacrifice is not the end of bloodshed. A chain of murder and retribution engulfs Rome as Titus struggles to escape the horror of violent deeds done in a violent world.
Founded in 2008, Dusthouse is a British film production company creating unique work for the international theatre and performing arts industries. Our distinctive visual style has evolved through a shared passion for live performance, film, sound design and music.
Dusthouse have been at the forefront of a new development within the world of theatre marketing. The 'theatre trailer' is a hugely powerful tool, raising the profile of a production whilst contributing greatly to increased ticket sales. Through contemporary marketing aimed at younger demographics Dusthouse are helping introduce new audiences to the wonderful world of live theatre, dance, circus and opera.
Dusthouse's projects are creatively driven. We work closely with both marketing teams and production creatives to ensure that both the shows essence and branding are captured equally. Our international group of directors share a common background, a passion for both live performance and the art of film making. Our mission is to seamlessly blend the two art forms without compromising either.
This is clearly reflected in Dusthouse's creative attitude and approach to each and every project.
Beyond theatre trailers we are also specialists in cinema deliverables, viral films, feature length documentaries, live capture, EPK's and video blogs. Over the years, Dusthouse has enjoyed creating work for national and international companies including Royal Shakespeare Company, Young Vic, Royal Opera House, Shakespeare's Globe, Soho Theatre, Royal Court and Hammersmith Lyric.
At the centre of our collective is Dusthouse's London Bridge studio, a permanent team of producers and creatives committed to bridging the gap between theatre and film. We also have a regular network of specialist freelancers that are engaged depending on the nature of each project.

Pouring Water Into a Volcano To Generate Power 321
from the pele-approved dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
They've been there, done that:
A 30 MW plant producing heat and energy from the world's most active volcano. An 8 MW addition was just approved, and the utility (HELCO) is looking to expand even further:
If there is an area that has a shot at 100% of their electricity from non-petroleum sources, it's the Big Island, with abundant wind, solar and geothermal options.
The same reason you don't burn them: air pollution.
It happens all the time in the upper atmosphere due to high energy UV from the sun. The chemistry of the stratosphere is esoteric due to the low pressure and high energies involved.
It doesn't mean that *all* of the water vapour makes it up into the stratosphere to be split by this process, so there's plenty in the lower layers to form clouds.
Newberry crater isn't like a volcano in the movies.. the caldera at the top has two lakes, a resort, campgrounds, etc. There is also a very large obsidian lava flow (100 feet of glass rocks, its pretty cool).. It also has awesome views from the top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newberry_Volcano [wikipedia.org]
He was joking. The possibility was first raised by Edward Teller, but it was ruled out long before the test by showing radiative losses exceeded energy production. The story goes that Oppenheimer mentioned it passing to Arthur Compton, who had the bad judgment to mention it to the Whitehouse. After that the scientists never heard the end of it
It's akin to a scientist at the LHC taking bets about ending the world through creation of a black hole.
Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

CR Intrinsic
SAC Puts Ten Days Of Insider Trading Behind It
So Mathew Martoma: pretty bad investment for SAC, no? He "was unable to generate … winning trades or outsized returns in 2009 and 2010, and did not receive a bonus in either of those years.

SAC Capital Thrilled To Be Paying Largest Fine Ever For Insider Trading
SAC Capital Advisors LP, the hedge fund run by billionaire Steven A. Cohen, will pay a record $614 million to settle U.S. regulatory claims that two of its affiliates made illegal trades using nonpublic information. CR Intrinsic Investors agreed to pay more than $600 million — the most ever in an insider-trading case — and […]

In related news, Martoma failed to give the Feds their Christmas wish, i.e. turning on the Big […]
Mr. And Mrs. Mathew Martoma In Surprisingly Good Spirits Considering Someone's Recent Workplace Drama
Earlier today, former CR Intrinsic employee Mathew Martoma made an appearance in federal court re: the matter of his being charged with insider trading during his time with the SAC Capital unit. The hearing was merely to set the terms his bail– lenient enough that they allow him to travel throughout Massachusetts, New Jersey, Florida, and parts of New York, though not so generous so as to allow for visits with old friends in the Nutmeg State– with a follow up meeting with the Judge James Cott set for December 26th. Joining Mathew at the courthouse today was his wife, Rosemary, and while we expected brave faces and a united front from the couple, we didn't expect smiles and jokes for the cheap seats.
CR Intrinsic PM Arrested On Insider Trading Charges Can Take Solace In Knowing He Is Peerless In His Field
Former SAC Capital Advisors LP portfolio manager Mathew Martoma was charged in what U.S. prosecutors called "the most lucrative insider-trading scheme ever," netting as much as $276 million while at the hedge fund. Prosecutors in the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan today unsealed a complaint charging Martoma with trading on illicit tips […]
SAC Capital Has No Idea What The Wall Street Journal Is Talking About
Earlier this morning, the Journal reported that certain trades made by SAC Capital's CR Intrinsic unit were being "examined" by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specifically, the regulator was said to be "trying to determine whether SAC used inside information to profit from Johnson & Johnson's 2009 takeover of Cougar Biotechnology Inc." It was also […]
Feds Charge Two Former SAC Capital Traders, One Of Whom Is A Cooperating Witness, Others With Insider Trading
The individuals who will have their names mentioned at a noon press conference are hedge fund manager Samir Barai of Barai Capital, Barai Capital analyst Jason Pflaum, former CR Instrinsic (a division of SAC) manager Donald Longueuil (most recently with Empire Capital) and former SAC PM Noah Freeman.
The FBI Might Go After Jonathan Hollander Or They Might Not
Last January, analyst Jonathan Hollander's name was mentioned as possibly having a connection to a Blackstone insider trading case, based on information presented to the government by his former employer, SAC Capital-owned CR Intrinsic.

Former SAC Analyst Jonathan Hollander May Have Played Role In Blackstone Insider Trading Case
Apparently it was SAC that brought the 411 to the government.

Using Affiliate Programs To Generate Work At Home Income By: Al Terry The most professional webmaster prefers to use affiliate programs as the means to generate work at home income, and it is for a few different reasons. One, affiliate programs are free to join and provide a chance to make great commissions on sales. A second reason is that affiliate programs are very low risk because there is no capital involves. A third reason is that it eases the work load allowing the affiliate to market products and services to their visitors online without dealing with any shipping, customer services and inventory. The affiliate program gives online marketers a great way to generate revenue and continue to deliver great products or services their visitors want. An affiliate program is a business model that companies set up so that others have the ability to sell their products or services. Everyone has seen the advertisements saying how they make thousand per month selling other people products and these are affiliate programs. An affiliate is like a sale representative except that they manly use the Internet as the way to promote and sell others goods. Affiliate is not employed by the companies they represent or on a salary, there are no benefits involved no matter how great of an affiliate you are for the company. Most webmasters join affiliate programs and never even talk to anyone with the company, though great affiliate programs do have top customer services for their affiliates and are helpful. Affiliates can make amazing work at home income and many do. To be successful with affiliate programs affiliates need to reach people and be able to get attention to products or services they are trying to sell. The company which has set up the affiliate program already has the straight sales page and a broad reach on the customer base so the affiliate must use other methods in order to persuade visitors to purchase. Most affiliates use their web site and stock the site with products and services their visitors would want to purchase, they supply pages of information for their visitors and affiliate products and services, which relate to what their site is about. Of course a web site is not needed to make work at home income with affiliate programs but in the long term is the best business model. Affiliates may use advertising to generate visitors interested in such goods, they especially use pay-per-click advertising from the major search engines. Many webmasters will use blogs to sell affiliate goods and some are masters of the online free classified ads. Another popular method is to write and distribute articles around the net with links in the article to point to the products or services they are trying to sell. Affiliates are tracked by a tracking code within a link. The affiliate joins a program and finds the products or services they wish to try to sell for a commission. The products or services will each have an individual link for each with the individual affiliate code part of the link. By using these links on web sites, classified ads, advertising or articles any time someone is to click on the link and be delivered to the purchase page for the product or service a third part program knows that the visitor was sent by that affiliate. If the visitor makes a purchase then the affiliate gets the commission for the sale. Many affiliates are making more than ten thousand dollars per month. Choosing the right affiliate programs are essential to success. The best affiliates look at what has the great demand on the Internet and what others are not doing. Many affiliate programs are over saturated on the net, and the object is to find a profitable niche. Spending some time researching affiliate programs and how professional Internet marketers are using them to create endless amounts of work at home income is a great way to get started with doing any business online. There are tons of great resources about affiliate programs and a simple search will unlock great information.

It's Confirmed- Drake and Model Dollicia Bryan are Dating
Drake is officially in his first relationship in three years.
By: Ashley Baylen
Rumors have bee spreading over the past few days about Drake and Dollicia Bryan being an item. Now, the model's rep has confirmed to TheYBF.com that, they are indeed, together.
"Yes, Drake and Dollicia are dating. They're both in L.A. right now spending the holidays together," said the rep.
TheYBF.com reports that they initially met earlier this year at Bryan's birthday party. Drake attended because his DJ was working at the event, but Bryan was unavailable at the time, dating actor Hill Harper.
Bryan has linked to quite a long list of entertainment-industry men. Although not all dating rumors were confirmed, she has been linked to Kris Humphries, Rob Kardashian, 50 Cent, Jay Z, Reggie Bush, Bow Wow, and Chris Brown.
On the other hand, Drake has also been linked to quite a few women including Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Keshia Chante, and Nicole Scherzinger. The rapper has stated that he hasn't been in a relationship in three years, so I assume these connections were merely gossip, or casual dates.
Drake and Dollicia were spotted in Los Angeles yesterday at Saddle Ranch. Drake posted a photo of his new girlfriend with the restaurant's famous cotton candy.

Where can i buy this product? i need to find Original..
Head & Shoulders Calssic Clean has Been a Great Product since day one, I Will NOT use any other Shampoo on my Hair, It makes it Soft,Shiney & over all Stronger!..I Love Head & Shoulders Products!
i have used Zincon for several years and have not had dandruff since using this product. It leaves the hair soft and manageable. I have tried many other products and was never satisfied because my dandruff never went away. Try it for several weeks, you'll never use anything else.
Bought for my daughter who has psoriasis of scalp. She likes a lot and it has helped control the flaking real well. Great deal and just as good, if not better results, as other high end dandruff shampoos. Will definitely be buying this again!
We love the Head and Shoulder products in our house. We use the shampoo to keep our scalps clean and free of dandruff. Then we use the Head and Shoulder Conditioner to keep our hair feel smooth and looking soft and silky. It's great and we can't live without either product. Even if we didn't use the shampoo, we would still use the conditioner because we like it so much.

Bagger Brewing Co.
Named after our fantasy football team, Jewish Chocolate Covered Tea Bags
They don't have to sit long to be good. I did a BW that went from brewday to bottle in 7 days just get 1st. I think it scored a 37. Anyway, it can be pretty hard to tell what you got by looking at a pellicle. Just looks like some yeast rafts to me though. Nothing I would worry about.
Forgot to add the beer is much darker than before as well.
Beers don't get darker, probably just the yeast settling out.

LittleLife's travel cots and child carriers give parents with young children the chance to get away, travel and explore. Young explorers can sleep safely protected from insects and bugs or hitch a ride on a convenient parent for longer days out. Designed with both children and parents in mind - comfort, safety and all round protection for the child and great portability and ease of use for the parent.
LittleLife also do an innovative range of fun child rucksacks with reins attached. Many children rebel at wearing reins directly, but forget the reins are there when they are attached to the rucksack. They think they can run away but they can't! A potential lifesaver - we've seen at least one toddler hoiked back from in front of a car right outside our doorway using one of these.
