Not only the sunrise, but also the sunsets were breathtaking at the beach. The sky was colouring bright orange at the moment the sun disappeared after the peninsula. While sitting at the beach and enjoying the views and atmosphere, especially at the last evening, I felt melancholy because it would be also my last evening in Thailand.....
I stayed at the beach till dark with my own feelings and thoughts. We had also our dinner at the beach. After dinner I stayed at the beach again for hours, forgetting the time, while enjoying the sea and the sky full of stars..... feeling happy and sad at the same time.

reaching the fishing village by boat
The day after we visited Ban Bang Bao by feet we could make a revisit with our boat. It was a nice boatride in the Bang Bao bay with nice views at the surrounding mountains, beaches with palmtrees, the peninsula and the fishing village at stilts. This time all the fishing boats wer back from the sea.
The Thai woman from the restaurant in the harbour in Trat joined us and offered us a sweet cocos snack from the village.
It was quite a difference to be in the tiny village with the two of us like yesterday or with seven people this time. We walked also to the land to have a look at a coconut farm where monkeys were trained to pick up the coconuts. We all got a coconut for drink.

Directions: South coast of Ko Chang.
From the fishing village Bang Bao we walked further into the direction of the peninsula at the south-west side of the village. We reached a narrow stripe of land with view at the Bang Bao bay (Ao Bang Bao) at one side and at the ocean at the other side.
The coast at the oceanside was steep and rocky. We tried to go into the sea, but hurted easily our feet and legs at the sharp rocks with shells. So we looked for shade and a piece of beach at the innerside looking out at the Bang Bao bay and the fishing village. After some rest and a swim we started our walk back to the campement.
I found out that nowadays there must be a resort at this unspoilt place we visited in the 80s. It is called the Nirvana Resort.

Ban Bang Bao, village Bang Bao
Though some houses of Ban Bang Bao are scattered in the bush and some stand at the seashore, most houses are built at stilts at a pier far into the water.
We walked to the end of the pier, to the landing stage for the fishingboats of the fishermen living in this village. Earlier in the morning I heard the boats while they were going to the sea for fishing. At the moment of our first visit they weren't back yet.
At he pier we found some small shops with softdrinks. We bought some because we were thirsty after or walk, though we brought also water and fruits ourselves. Between the houses we saw many shells of coconuts, fishing nets and bamboo cages for crabs. I supposed fish and coconuts are the two main means for living of the villagers.

view at Ban Bang Pao
From our campement it was a walk of about one and half hour to the fishing village Ban Bang Pao. First we had to wade through the water between the sea and the lagoon..... the water reached my middle. After a climb over some rocks it was a nice walk in the shade of the coconut palms following a narrow bushpath along the seashore. We collected some coconuts and drunk the coconut milk.
From far we could allready see the fishing village Ban Bang Bao, built at stilts in the water. After crossing a small bridge we reached the first houses at the seashore, also partly built at stilts.

Our hide-away at Ko Chang has a very special location at a strip of land between the sea at the southside and a lagoon at the north side. The view at the lagoon was stunning. The lagoon was surrounded by palmtrees and mangrove with mountains at the background.
The difference between the moving water of the sea and the tranquility and serenity of the lagoon with its reflections was fascinating.

Early in the morning and in the late afternoon I walked along the beach. It was special to be in such an enchanting environment, feeling almost alone on the world. I looked at the tiny crabs running along the seashore. I had even to look very well to discover the tiniest ones being not bigger as giant spiders.
I sat for a while at a tree trunk on the beach, playing with my feet in the water and sand, creating a piece of landart which changed all the time by the waves and the sea water. Thoughtless my hands collected shells, seaweed and pieces of coral around me. Thoughtless..... but at the same time full of thougths.
Enjoying the sea, the water, the temperature and the divine surroundings I hopped back to the huts, happy like a child.

The first morning around 6am I couldn't stay longer in my hut and walked the few meters to the beach with my camera and diary. I sat down in the white sand with only the noise of the waves rolling on the beach and the soft noise of the fishing boats far away in the bay.
In my diary I read:
'' The atmosphere is really fairy-like. The sun is still behind the mountain. The sky is first blue rose and colours orange after some time.The rocks look black against the brightly enlightened sea in the east. The tiny islands are still hazy grey, but start to change in greener colours.
It's fascinating to see the changing of the colours. I see the first sunbeams at the palms at the other side of the beach. Little by litte I see the approaching sunlight at the beach. Suddenly the temperature starts to rise and... yes I see the sun and am sitting in the morning sun now myself.''

Re: Companionway doors
The doors look great. While I would have cautioned their longevity three years ago as well, I'm glad they held up.
I thought I would offer our solution to a day cover. We have a custom piece of sunbrella, cut and bound to fit around the entire companionway, including around the sliding top hatch. This has female snaps around the edges to secure to screwed down male snaps in the fiberglass.
A hole is then cut into the enclosure approx 4 inches from the edge, creating a fabric frame around the opening. Another piece is cut approx one inch larger than the interior opening and sewn across the fore edge. This flap can then roll up or down over the companionway, with the sliding hatch closed. Velcro is sewn in a few spots along the edge to hold it down. Just dropping it from the inside secures the velcro. No pressure necessary. Ours is solid, but I suppose you could put some eisenglass in it, although, I'm not sure how easily it would roll.
We also have a couple of straps sewn on the top, so it can be secured in the rolled up position.
Much lighter than wood, no additional stuff to store and very easy to enter and exit. Even when we reinstall the plexi board that goes in when we leave, we still pull the sunbrella cover over it to prevent light from entering the cabin. Good heat and UV control.
p.s. We have a flexible screen as well, with a zipper sewn around the interior, however, never use it.

Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo gets richer as it darkens
By Amy Nicholson
A tightly wound bundle of everything and its opposite—an anti-authoritarian who ran for sheriff of Aspen, a peace-loving gun nut, an iconoclast who relished winners as much as any football coach—the late Hunter S. Thompson pioneered what might be called psychic-war correspondence: corrosive inner dispatches from the long goodbye of '60s idealism. Alex Gibney's fascinating documentary makes Thompson a complex, looming presence, using the author's words (read by Johnny Depp) as rueful commentary. Buttressed by interviews with his collaborators (including illustrator Ralph Steadman), archival snippets, and vintage Thompson footage, the bulk of Gibney's film is devoted to just three books: Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and his last major work, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72—a trilogy that made Thompson a counterculture idol as well as a literal and figurative cartoon character. As director, Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) relies too often on glib simplification and smirky music montages of social unrest. But by refocusing attention on Thompson's blazing gift, however unevenly it burned, Gonzo reclaims him from the fate he described for the Hell's Angels: "The mystique was stretched so thin it finally became transparent."

5. Apple's Old News
The ink-stained wretches at the major newspapers sure must be desperate for something to write about this summer. Seriously, why else would the NY Times (NYT) and WSJ be trotting out warmed-over stories about Apple (AAPL - Get Report) making an investment in Twitter?
"The headline is, after all, written in the present tense. But talks between Apple and Twitter are apparently dead as a dumpling," clarifies Fuchs.Right on mark Marek! We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Although we could have said it better than the WSJ, which lamely pointed out that the discussions took place "more than a year ago." Everybody in Silicon Valley talks with everybody else, so why shouldn't Apple -- which is a builder, not a buyer anyway -- and Twitter -- which is surely suffering from post- Facebook fatigue -- exchange a few pleasantries? What's the big deal if there is no deal? It's not an old story worth even 140 new characters. Not even to mention the fact that, well, it just

*A quick mea culpa before I begin the preview: The Mets were 4-2 in the games Dillion Gee started against the Braves last season, Gee went 2-1 in those starts. With that mistake buried and forgotten, here is the preview for the weekend series:
After a successful 5-1 season opening home-stand, the Braves pack up and head to the massive air
conditioned banking institution located in the Arizona desert. Both Arizona and Atlanta sit second in their respective divisions with records of 7-5, but each team is headed in different directions. The Braves have caught fire, going 7-2, after starting the season 0-3. Alternatively, the Diamondbacks have gone 3-5 after winning their first four games of the season.
The key contrast between the two ball clubs is that the Braves are hitting better with runners in scoring position. In the last seven games, Arizona actually has one more hit than Atlanta, both have 8 homers, yet the Braves are leading the NL with 41 RBI's, 10 more than the D-Backs. Furthermore, Atlanta's batting average on balls in play (BABIP) is .31 points higher at .311.
The Bravos are also fortunate to catch Arizona at a time where they have slugging center-fielder Chris Young on the 15-day disabled list for a right shoulder contusion and All-Star right-fielder Justin Upton is day-to-day with soreness in his left thumb; ask David Wright about thumbs.
Thursday: LHP Mike Minor (1-1, 4.38 ERA) vs RHP Josh Collmenter (0-0, 12.86 ERA)
As my cohort Nick wrote, "Minor's display Saturday evening was indeed a sight for sore eyes." Minor single-handedly lit a fire under the starting rotation with his 2-hit performance. In his two career starts against the Diamondbacks, Minor is 1-0 with a total of 8 runs earned.
After posting a 10-10, 3.38 ERA line in his first season at the major league level, Josh Collmenter has hit a wall. The youngster from Homer, Michigan has cattered to his hometowns name by allowing home-runs in his first two outings, this off the heels of a spring where he posted a 0-4 9.95 ERA mark. Collmenter could be fighting to stay in the show.
Friday: RHP Brandon Beachy (1-1, 0.75 ERA) vs RHP Trevor Cahill (1-0, 1.35 ERA)
Brandon Beachy was the first Braves pitcher to catch "Minor-i-tis." Beachy allowed 1 unearned run on 3 hits and 2 free-passes, with 6 K's in 7 strong innings worked. Brandon was able to get to the seventh inning by breezing through his last four innings pitched, needing only 46 pitches to get the job done.
After a scabrous start in his first outing, where gave up 6 walks, Trevor Cahill pitched impressively in his second. The Oceanside, California native tossed 7.1 innings of 4 hit ball with 6 strikeouts. So far in the season, Cahill's ground-ball rate is at 67%.
Saturday: RHP Tommy Hanson (1-2, 3.71 ERA) vs LHP Joe Saunders (1-0, 0.64 ERA)
Hanson was the second Atlanta hurler to come down with a case of "Minor-i-tis." In his last outing versus the Mets, Tommy retired 10 straight batters and surrendered just one hit before allowing Ruben Tejada to double off of a hanging breaking pitch which hit the left field wall with one out in the sixth inning. Hanson can attribute his success in his last start to the increase in the velocity of his heater. Tommy was above 90 MPH the entire game, hitting 92 at times; Hanson averages 92 MPH for his career.
Joe Saunders marks the eighth left-handed pitcher the Braves will face so far. Saunders has enjoyed a stellar start to his campaign thus far, pitching 7 innings in each start with a 1.00 WHIP. The Braves hitters were 7-21 off of Saunders last season, yet they were only able to drive in one run.
Sunday: RHP Randall Delgado (2-0, 4.35 ERA) vs RHP Ian Kennedy (2-0, 3.86 ERA)
Thus far, rookie Randall Delgado is the new Jorge Sosa this season. When Sosa was with the Braves, he earned the nickname "Houdini" for his ability to pitch an ugly game, usually five innings, and come out with victory. Delgado is getting by on his fastball and change-up, which he throws 68% and 23% respectively; he is just lucky there is a 10 MPH difference between the two pitches. He will need to discover a third pitch fast or Delgado could see Kris Medlin take his place.
Though he was roughed up in his previous outing versus the Pirates, allowing eight hits and four runs through six innings, Ian Kennedy is unquestionably the D-Backs best pitcher. The Huntington Beach, California native has 11 K's in 13.1 innings pitched against the Bravos in his career.

Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky is an evangelical Christian church. Its Senior Minister, Dave Stone, assumed leadership of the church in 2006, followed by Teaching Pastor and author of Not a Fan, Kyle Idleman, in 2009.
Southeast Christian Church is a megachurch with over 30,000 members. It is the largest church in Kentucky, and the 5th largest in the United States, with a weekly attendance over 22,000
The church started on July 1, 1962 as fifty-three members of the South Louisville Christian Church started a new church in the Hikes Point area. By 1998, the church had moved to - and outgrown - several buildings until reaching its present location at 920 Blankenbaker Parkway in Louisville. Former Senior Minister Bob Russell retired in 2006 after 40 years of service. He was succeeded as senior minister by Dave Stone, the longtime preaching associate at Southeast. In February 2007, Southeast Christian officially released an announcement that it would establish a satellite church in Clark County, Indiana.[1] With the establishment of a second location, Southeast became a multi-site church. The breaking of the ground, by I-65 Exit 4 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, took place on August 12, 2007,[2] and the church officially opened on April 12, 2009. On February 8, 2009, the church announced the plans for its third location. The Oldham County Campus, in Crestwood, Kentucky, held its first service in January 2011. In 2009, Southeast also opened up a new youth building called "The Block".[3]
On the weekend of June 30/July 1, 2012, the church announced that it would develop a fourth campus in southwest Jefferson County, near Dixie Highway (US 31W) and adjacent to the southwestern campus of Christian Academy of Louisville. This site was originally expected to open in fall 2013,[4] but groundbreaking was delayed until February 2013; the opening of the new campus is now projected in time for Easter 2014.[5]
Revolution Annapolis[edit]
Revolution Annapolis is a church plant in Annapolis, Maryland that meets in Germantown Elementary School. Southeast Christian Church and The Orchard Group support the plant, which launched in October 2010.

Mathew, FANTASTIC Serge Lutens collection, I'm jealous. And I've never seen someone with so many Parfumerie Generale fragrances. I have a few questions:
1. Which MPG is that you have a back up of?
2. What are those black boxes in the center, same picture?
3. What are the silver tin/steel bottles in your fridge?
matthewfoo you have so much im jealous
Hi Evoke, thanks for your kind words.
1. Parfum d'Habit (I traded a used one away recently and am not intending to open this one just yet. I am a rash buyer. so if a great swap offer came along, I'd let it go )
2. Those are the The Different Company's 48 Heures refils, I got a few varieties.
3. The small metal tin contains a 48 Heures refill. The bigger ones are called The Long Trip, basically just the bigger version of 48.
I aim by xmas to get 2-3 wishlist items and do a mega trimming and cutting of my collection. I want to go compact. compressed and focused.
Edit: Thank you, remixx, I am flattered. I put a lot of time, effort and resource into this hobby, so I'm glad. :-)

Matt, that is just amazing!!! Just a lovely collection! I'm just speechless. Really enviable. hehehehe
Part of my wardrobe. I took it my cellphone so sorry for the low image quality.
I realized it's been 7 months since I've posted in one of these - fortunately, I haven't really added much since then, but have rearranged at least. I like to do a big rearrangement now and then because some things you didn't give as much attention before are front and center and get worn much more. I didn't include any sample/decant/mini pics or anything this time - they're kind of a mess right now. I'm sure someone will mention something about all the heat and light - the lights are all LED and emit no heat and are off most of the time in the dark cabinet.
Here's one guy's hobby:
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
You really ARE A colognosaurus! That is stunning.
This scent is great, but ... MORE KITTENS!
^^Awesome collection and arrangement of the fragrances.
jrd4t is King! YOWZA!

Damn! Those are some awesome wardrobes!
These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
*Floored* Jrd4t is a terrorist! I don't know what to say already. Bizarre, impossible, legendary.
jrd4t.....ur collection can easily pay for my car and I would have enough to buy my current collection and still probably have enough to go to a restaurant for a good meal.......SIMPLY AWESOME COLLECTION.
jrd4t - It looks like you own, um, everything!
Awesome collection! How on earth do you decide on the SOTD?

Man! Between jrd4t and matthewfoo, I think we have every amazing fragrance covered. Absolutely gorgeous collections guys!

Jrd4t your collection is amazing! And the display is awesome too.
Thanks guys! I blame you all for it
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
How about a Where's Waldo perfume edition.
hmmm, Waldo. Who's that by?
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
A part of me died after seeing all the expensive frags you guys own, especially jr4t's clive chistians. And i was like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG when i saw SDV crowded...i was like nuuu ahahahhaaa
okay time for meds

Thanks for grounding me as normal, as a newbie, really. Still so much obviously necessary spending ahead

Fantasic Collection you got there jrd4t. -But not a single one from Eau d`Italie?
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
I have a Nikon D7000 sitting downstairs but I was lazy and my Scent display is far from complete, I plan on fixing up the presentation very soon. These were just quickie shots with the iphone and I did a small panorama of my little cave just for giggles, my favorite room in the house to escape to. Panorama is a bit odd looking best I can do with autostitch and iphone in the dim rooms!
It's dark and cool and has an extra ac unit to keep it frosty in there year round, important in Vegas I guess but I like to keep it around 72F and that keeps me from running up high bills on the rest of the house. Tiny collection I know but it has a wide range that I enjoy so far and I am working on it more now.
Perfume is like cocktails without the hangover, like chocolate without the calories, like an affair without tears, like a vacation from which you never have to come back.

European study finds no survival difference for those with, without device
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Implanting a defibrillator in the first weeks after a heart attack does not improve survival, a major European study shows.
Fewer deaths from sudden cardiac arrest occurred among those given the devices, which shock the heart into beating again. But, the overall death rate was about the same as for those who did not get defibrillators in the 40 days after a heart attack, the researchers reported.
The study results parallel those of a smaller American trial, said Dr. Gerhard Steinbeck, professor of medicine and chairman of internal medicine at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and lead author of a report in the Oct. 8 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
One reason for a second study was that the American trial "might have been a false-negative trial signaled by a relatively small sample size and design flaws," Steinberg said.
But the European study was not done to prove or disprove the earlier trial, which was reported on in 2004, he said. "For many years, these two studies were running parallel," Steinbeck said.
The European trial enrolled 898 of 62,944 people treated for heart attacks. About half had defibrillators implanted, while the other half were given standard treatment, without defibrillators.
In an average follow-up of 37 months, 116 of the defibrillator recipients and 117 of those given standard treatment died. Though there were 27 deaths from sudden cardiac arrest in the defibrillator group, compared with 60 in the standard-treatment group, the overall mortality rate was about the same because of the higher incidence of non-sudden cardiac deaths in the defibrillator group -- 68, versus 39 in the standard-treatment group.
The new results are more firmly based than the earlier findings, Steinbeck said. "We can state that we have incl

Where the CEOs of North America's biggest logistics operators meet to discuss trends, challenges and the future of the industry.
After his immensely popular, 3 part, Internet of Things article, Steve Brady offers his latest thoughts on Big Data and the importance of understanding its role in operations today.
"Big Data" can mean different things to different people. In fact, what constitutes "big data" can often simply be a reflection of what you have historically been able to analyze. What is constant across all definitions is the idea that data is critical to understanding--understanding your operations, understanding your customers, and understanding your environment. In fact, Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella tweeted "Data Is Our Most Precious Natural Resource. Our Task Is To Refine Data Into The Fuel For More Personal Experiences"
As I presented at the eft 3PL Summit in June, data can be used to describe the world around us, but the ability to transform that data into information allows us to actually manage that world. And of course, by understanding the information and seeking the causal relationships between actions we can truly hope to change the world.
There have been two limitations to any analysis of data--the amount you can store, and the tools to analyze it. (Of course, there is the pesky problem of the skillsets of the analysts, but let's set that aside for the moment.)
We have come a long way in terms of storage. In fact, what was considered a lot of data storage just 10 years ago seems trivial in comparison. Take for instance hard drive storage. At the start of 2004 you could buy a 120 GB drive for $111. As of April of this year you could purchase a 3 TB drive for about $110. (Source: http://www.jcmit.com/diskprice.htm). In just 10 years you can purchase 25 times the amount of storage for the same amount of money. This data reflects the prices at the time--with inflation, the actual purchase price is even lower in real buying power.
Of course, with the increasing storage space we have created more and more data to fill that space. Whether we are talking about our own digital photography and music (higher resolution and higher fidelity files take up more space) or our businesses collecting more data for processes, we find ourselves swimming in bits and bytes.
Operations today rely on many sources of data. Some of that data is from internal sources such as production line sensors, RFID readers tracking items through a facility, point of sale (POS) devices, and data entered manually by employees. Other data critical to our success comes from outside sources including real time weather and traffic updates, delivery tracking data, and economic data. With the growth of the internet, and the explosion in storage capacity, nearly any business can now access vast amounts of data and store it locally (or--in the cloud!)
How can we possibly wrap our heads around all this data?
If you pay attention to the hype surrounding big data, and the sales teams pushing their solutions, the answer seems clear--you must spend large sums of money on solutions designed to manipulate extremely large datasets and tease out meanings from the data.
But what are you to do if you don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars laying around? Is this another "big dogs only" game?
Thankfully the answer once again is "No!"
Microsoft has provided some very powerful tools even in Excel that can let you manipulate large amounts of data and derive knowledge from that data. If you have Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus or Office 365 ProPlus you can enable "PowerPivot." (If you have the earlier 2010 version of the Professional products you can download and install it.)
PowerPivot extends the capabilities we have enjoyed in Excel's Pivot Tables for years by providing a couple critical features.
First, you can manipulate datasets far larger than a standard Excel spreadsheet can handle. Excel can handle 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns (or over 17 BILLION) cells of data!) I am sure most of us never thought we would ever approach the limits of Excel in our lifetimes and yet, here we are. We may not have 17 billion cells of data, but with many of our automated data collection systems we can easily cross the 1 million rows (records) threshold. PowerPivot stores all the data in a different system and thus allows for use of 2GB files and up to 4GB of data in memory. Now THAT should last a lifetime (wait… I remember this feeling….)
Another powerful feature is the ability to import data from a wide range of sources. Not only can you use data from Excel, you can pull data from …"different sources, such as large corporate databases, public data feeds, spreadsheets, and text files on your computer." (source: Microsoft) Using this feature you can now begin to connect disparate datasets, bringing together and correlating data from multiple sources--allowing the first steps of the transformation from data to information!
One final feature I wanted to highlight is the ability to build complex calculations from the data. By manipulating the different data sets you can create new columns that become useful as the underpinnings of "Key Performance Indicators."
This one tool, included in Microsoft's current professional offerings of MS Office, provides powerful data manipulation and presentation opportunities at no additional cost. If a business wants to begin to see what benefits there are to big data, they no longer need to fear the cost.
Even the small dogs can play!

The lack of predictability in processes is a major "margin killer". What is causing the unpredictability in your organisation? And how can planners improve on the degree of predictability?

What is Bulletproof Coffee?
Also known as butter coffee, Bulletproof Coffee is supposed to give you energy and improve your mind. Is it a gimmick?
Mon, Jul 14, 2014 at 02:07 PM
If you love coffee, then you're probably passionate about the beans you buy and the way your brew it. Personally, I prefer my coffee strong, made in a French press, with half a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of 1 percent milk. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be trying something new with my coffee.
I'll be trying Bulletproof Coffee, a method of making coffee that's supposed to boost your physical and mental performance. To make Bulletproof Coffee you need three ingredients: single-origin good coffee beans, butter from grass-fed cows, and a medium-chain triglyceride oil. The method for brewing and putting the coffee together was created by Dave Asprey, whose story was recently told by Fast Company.
Asprey was trying to recreate the same life-changing effects he got from the yak-butter tea he drank in Tibet when he was learning to meditate. The tea gave him much more energy and he "just felt so good." Asprey, a cloud computing pioneer, figured out how to replicate those benefits with coffee when he returned to California. He called his concoction Bulletproof Coffee and posted his recipe for free online in 2009.
Asprey has turned his method for brewing coffee and then adding butter and triglyceride oil into a booming business. He sells Bulletproof Coffee Beans and something he calls Brain Octane Oil, as well as other products that can be used with the method on his Upgraded Self website. But, you can try the method with products you can buy at Whole Foods or other organic and natural products store.
So far, this all sounds like a gimmick, doesn't it? I would think so if it wasn't for one thing. My friend Amanda Feifer O'Brien, the fermenting expert I've told you about before, tried it for a week and claims it's "legit." Amanda is very conscious about what she puts in her body, eating a diet that's heavy on gut-healthy ferments. When she said she was trying it, it got my attention more than any marketing campaign ever could have.
Amanda didn't buy the Bulletproof brand ingredients. She used a high-quality, single-origin coffee, cultured butter part of the week and then Kerrygold butter for the rest of the week, and Dr. Bronner's unrefined coconut oil that she bought at Whole Foods.
After trying the method for a week, she wrote a post on her Phickle blog, journaling her first week of drinking butter coffee daily and the effects it had on her. She had some stomach discomfort the first day, but her husband did not. It seems the stomach discomfort was worth getting through however, because Amanda reports what she describes as "intense satiety." She rarely got hungry and craved mostly raw veggies and water when she was hungry.
Other positive effects were improved mental clarity, more energy, a sunny outlook, high productivity and less distractibility. I could definitely do with a huge dose of all of those positive effects.
Amanda did experience a few cons besides the first-day stomach issues. She had trouble sleeping on a couple of evenings and was extra thirsty. She also said that she didn't always want to drink something hot on a summer's morning. She's not a regular coffee drinker, though, and didn't usually start her day with a hot beverage. She's going to try it next with tea.
I'm going to start with the Bulletproof Coffee tomorrow morning, and I'll keep a diary like Amanda did. Look for a post next week letting you know how it went, even if it goes poorly.
Have you tried Bulletproof Coffee? How did you feel after drinking it?

Bad Time with Abaco Bahamas Charters
We are currently stranded at a harbor in the Abacos because the 42 Lagoon Sailing Cat that we chartered a week ago is leaking hydraulic fluid, the batteries are going dead and will not hold a charge, half the boat's power is out, including the fans, a/c, microwave, and electric windlass.
The owner of the company, Jim, has been extremely unresponsive when hailing him on VHF, and resentful when we resorted to calling him because he failed to answer VHF, or e-mails for over 12 hours. He had no solutions to offer and gave us a phone number to call for technical help.
We are now on the phone (at $2.00 per minute!!) to the electrical rep for Lagoon in Miami. The call has taken 25 minutes so far to try and trouble shoot the system. The rep has informed us that Abaco was well aware of the problems with this boat, and that they are waiting for parts, but neglected to disclose any of these issues to us in our briefing when we picked up the boat.
I understand all the nuances of taking a boat and having responsibility, but there is no excuse for the complete lack of disclosure on the part of Abaco Bahamas Charters. The net is that the owner and his staff have limited, if any knowledge of boats and their workings, and it is at your peril that you should charter from them.

Mickey Rourke's dog, Loki, dead at 18
Mickey Rourke's publicist has confirmed the Hollywood actor's beloved 18-year-old Chihauhau, Loki, died this week.
Rourke, who has been enjoying a career comeback and Oscar nomination thanks to his lead role in
The Wrestler, famously thanked his dogs for standing by him in darker days in his Golden Globe acceptance speech last month.
I'd like to thank all my dogs, the ones who are here and the ones who aren't here anymore, Rourke said.
Sometimes, when a man is alone, that's all you got is your dog. And they've meant the world to me.
Rourke's representative confirmed to E! News Tuesday that Loki died Monday night.
The tough-guy actor was photographed walking the red carpet with Loki at the Venice Film Festival in September. He described the pooch then as the
love of my life.
Rourke again mentioned his dogs in an interview for Barbara Walters's upcoming Oscars special.
I sort of self-destructed and everything came out about 14 years ago or so… the wife had left, the career was over, the money was not an ounce, he said.
The dogs were there when no one else was there.

Home Aquaponics Kit: helping kids grow herbs from fish poo
By Dave Parrack
November 22, 2012
Many of us have completely lost sight of where the food we eat comes from. As long as the product is sitting on the shelf when we visit the supermarket, we pay little attention to the process that led to it being there. The Home Aquaponics Kit is designed to counter this ignorance by educating children in the process involved in growing and cultivating food using a self-cleaning fish tank and a self-maintaining herb garden.

Daiwa House, Japan's largest homebuilder, has introduced a line of prefabricated hydroponic vegetable factories, aimed at housing complexes, hotels, and top-end restaurants.

Back in the 80s, NASA envisioned a system for growing herbs and other edible plants in the zero-gravity environment of a spacecraft. Although it never got off the drawing board, that system consisted of a rotating ring with built-in hydroponics, which the plants grew on the inside of. Flash forward a few decades, and Italian design firm DesignLibero has taken that concept and re-imagined it as a consumer device, known as The Green Wheel. Read More

Urban Cultivator automatically grows greens indoors
January 30, 2012
There's no question that fresh herbs taste better than their dried counterparts, nor is there any denying that garden-fresh veggies are preferable to ones that have spent the past several days in a truck or on a supermarket shelf. People who are lucky enough to live in warmer climates can keep the fresh greens coming year-round, if they plant a garden. For those of us in colder regions, however, things get a bit more challenging come winter. We can rig up indoor herb gardens on windowsills or using full-spectrum fluorescent lights, but that can sometimes get a little complicated. If you can justify its price, however, there is an alternative – the Urban Cultivator. Read More
Whereas the majority of vertical farming concepts and projects featured in Gizmag over the years have either been huge dedicated structures or add-ons to existing buildings, the Windowfarms system downsizes and personalizes veggie growing by placing an indoor farm in the window. The original plastic-bottle-based, do-it-yourself hydroponics system design has been available for a while now but the developers are getting ready to make a new, improved kit version available.

Dublin Craic
Dublin is a lovely city if you don't mind the cold! I recommend seeing all the touristy stuff but make sure you check out some local pubs (not Temple Bar) to really see the culture. This is my favorite part about Ireland. Also, if it's sunny out, spend some time in Stephen's Park. I say this because that's where most of the locals will be if they have good weather.
Insider Tip:Ask the locals about where to get the best fish and chips in Dublin.

A "repentant" American missionary set to be freed from North Korea after being arrested at the border on Christmas said he was ashamed of the "biased" view he once held of the communist nation, Pyongyang's state media said on Friday.
Breaking its silence about Robert Park's fate, North Korea announced on Friday that the American would be released from custody after admitting to entering the country illegally and showing "sincere repentance" for the transgression.
Mr. Park, 28, slipped across the frozen Tumen River from China into North Korea carrying letters calling on leader Kim Jong Il to close the country's notoriously brutal prison camps and to step down from power - acts that could risk a death sentence in the totalitarian nation.
However, the government "decided to leniently forgive and release him, taking his admission and sincere repentance of his wrong doings into consideration," the official Korean Central News Agency said. Details of his release were not immediately available.
Mr. Park, 28, of Tucson, Arizona, appeared healthy if a bit gaunt in photos released by KCNA during what it called an interview with the American. Dressed in a dark suit and tie, he smiled and gesticulated in the photos, a microphone and bottles of water on the table before him.
Back home, his family exulted at the prospect of Mr. Park's release.
"We are very excited but I don't know if it's real or not. We have to wait and see if it's really happening," his father, Pyong Park, told The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Carlsbad, California, north of San Diego.
In Tucson, the pastor who ordained Mr. Park as a missionary in 2007 said his congregation was "ecstatic" at news Mr. Park was safe. The Rev. John Benson and others said a rally set for February 25 at the University of Tucson to call for Mr. Park's release may end up a homecoming party instead.
U.S. officials said they were informed about Park's pending release.
"North Korean authorities informed us recently of their intention to do so and we are pleased they are proceeding," National Security Council spokesman Ben Chang said in Washington.
Mr. Park was detained nearly four months after two other Americans, journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling, were released with former President Bill Clinton's help after they were arrested at the border and sentenced to prison.
Late last month, KCNA reported the arrest of another American suspected of illegal entry. He has not been identified.
The arrest of Americans in North Korea is a sensitive diplomatic issue since the United States, which fought against the North during the 1950-53 Korean War, does not have diplomatic relations with Pyongyang.
In recent weeks, the wartime rivals have reached out to one another. Washington is trying to get Pyongyang back to nuclear disarmament talks, while North Korea has pressed for a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War.
"Because negotiations are slowly beginning to gain momentum, North Korea wouldn't have wanted to break the mood," said Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea expert at Dongguk University in Seoul. "Instead, they would have wanted to use this opportunity to improve their national image."
KCNA said Park proposed being interviewed by the state-run news agency, and released what it said was a transcript of the interview. The interview has not been aired on state TV in North Korea, and could not be independently verified.
KCNA said Mr. Park told the news agency he felt compelled to go to North Korea to draw attention to reported rights abuses and mass killings, even if it meant risking his life.
North Korea is regarded as having one of the world's worst human rights records, with some 154,000 political prisoners held in six camps across the country, according to the South Korean government.
Mr. Park reportedly said he expected to be shot by soldiers or thrown behind bars. But he said he had been fed "false propaganda made by the West to tarnish" North Korea's image.
"I have never seen such kind and generous people," he said, according to KCNA, reportedly describing his care as attentive and loving.
KCNA also said Mr. Park was surprised he was allowed to practice Christianity freely, and quoted him as saying he felt embarrassment and shame over what he considered a "biased view" of North Korea.
"What astonished me more was that a Bible was returned to me," KCNA reported him as saying. "This fact alone convinced me that the religious freedom is fully ensured" in North Korea.
North Korea's constitution guarantees freedom of religion but the government severely restricts religious observance, only allowing worship - primarily by foreigners - at sanctioned churches. Defectors say underground worship and the distribution of Bibles can mean banishment to a labour camp or execution.
An uncle, Manchul Cho, said the episode may promote a better understanding of the reclusive nation.
"Maybe Robert saw some really good future, which we haven't seen," Mr. Cho said in Los Angeles. "Maybe he can bring change over there and he can bring change over here."
But Jo Sung-rae, of the Seoul-based activist group Pax Koreana, was skeptical of the KCNA report. He said Mr. Park told him he'd never wear the color black again, calling it a color "God does not like."
"But Park appeared in the KCNA interview with a black tie. We believe this is his message to the world that he is being forced to act against his will," he said at a Seoul rally.

"This movie actually has a pretty decent message for kids to hear, and that is, with all the obsession with winning and being the best, all you really need to do is go out there and just try."
Times do change, and apparently the remakes must change with them. Just last week, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," hit theaters with Johnny Depp playing a far darker Willy Wonka than Gene Wilder. With a $56 million opening weekend, the movie more than found its audience.
In reviving the role of Coach Buttermaker, Thornton knew he was treading on sacred ground, and would have to come up with something new. "I'm a big fan of Walter Matthau and the original movie, so I would never even pretend that I would ever be as good or as funny as he is," he says.
"I purposely didn't watch the old movie before we did this," he said. "I'd seen it years ago, but I didn't want to pick up any of his mannerisms because I didn't want to imitate him."
Instead, Thornton drew upon his own field of dreams. Growing up in Hot Springs, Ark., he fancied himself a big league junk-ball pitcher, and in the early 1970s he got as far as a Kansas City Royals tryout camp.
"I had no idea I would ever be an actor," he said. "All I really wanted to do was pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals."
That dream ended before the Royals ever let him step on the mound. He broke his collarbone in a minor collision and had to settle on multiple Academy Award nominations for his acting, and a screenwriting Oscar in 1996 for "Sling Blade."
Thornton's interpretation of the mess of a man that we call Buttermaker clearly fits in the pantheon of his bleak characters.
"Buttermaker pitched two-thirds of an inning in the majors a long time ago. And since then, baseball's only been something he can use as a pickup line in a bar," he says. "He's bribed to coach this team, and though he starts out doing it for the money, the old spirit of the game comes back to him."
Baseball is not always kind to screwball pitchers, but Thornton is already into his windup and nobody denies the kid's got loads of heart and wicked stuff. Certainly, the jeers won't spook him.

Wednesday December 21, 2011
By VINCENT TAN email@example.com
TWO HUNDRED disgruntled residents from 14 residents' associations in the Taman Cheras Hartamas and Taman Bukit Segar Jaya area protested outside the gates of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah building in Shah Alam yesterday.
This was after they failed to hand a memorandum to Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim when their buses were barred from entering the premises.
Datuk Dr Eadon Ching, a spokesman for the group, said the memorandum was to express their unhappiness over a utility company's plan to construct a 275 kilovolt (kV) high- tension wire pylon around Cheras Hartamas and Taman Bukit Segar Jaya.
The same group also later protested at the Jalan Pantai Baru entrance of the Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) headquarters in Bangsar when their efforts to hand the same memorandum were blocked at the company's gates.
However, in both instances, a representative from each organisation came to collect the group's memorandums later.
Dr Ching said they wanted to hand over the memorandum to the Mentri Besar because the residents felt he was not fully aware of their problems.
The group wanted the Mentri Besar and TNB to send representatives to a meeting with the local residents on Dec 26 to discuss the problem.
"Basically, today is about us residents of Cheras Hartamas and Taman Bukit Segar Jaya taking the initiative. We have 13,000 residents from 14 housing areas here. We want the representatives to attend the 10am meeting on Dec 26 at Cemara Flats, to listen to our concerns," said Dr Ching.
"I attended a Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) meeting on Dec 9, and someone claimed that only a few people made noise about the planned pylon, which was not true. We have collected a lot of signatures of those who oppose the proposal and sent them through Teratai assemblyman Jenice Lee," Dr Ching said, adding no action was taken.
Another concerned resident Alex Teng said the protest was led by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) Zon 24 TNB High Tension Cable Action Committee.
"Prior to this, we had a protem committee handling the pylon issue, but as they failed to convince the Mentri Besar, the action committee decided to take over," said Teng.
Teng and Dr Ching said that part of the planned route by TNB involved building on the hillslopes around Taman Bukit Segar Jaya, which raised the possibility of landslides.
Similarly, the presence of the pylons in a residential area not only exposed the residents to the 275kV power lines but also to radiation from the high electromagnetic field of the lines.
"If a flood or landslide were to happen, not only will we be affected by these alone but we also run the risk of being electrocuted by the live power lines should the pylon collapse," said Dr Ching.
"We have proposed alternate routes, four in all, but none was considered by TNB, even at the MTES meeting.
"They can lay the power lines underground and this might incur higher cost. But they have chosen not to do so," said Teng.
Dr Ching added that they expected 500 to 1,000 residents from all over
MPAJ Zon 24 to attend the meeting.

Collection of money from students assailed
Accuses DMK of ignoring killings in Sri Lanka
CHENNAI: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam should allot the Congress some of the Ministry slots in the State since it depended on Congress support, Pattali Makkal Katchi founder S. Ramadoss said here on Friday. He told presspersons that the DMK should not wait for Congress president Sonia Gandhi to ask for slots in the Ministry but accommodate them after considering that party's strength in the Assembly. He said Local Administration Minister M.K. Stalin being made the Deputy Chief Minister was but an expected move.
Dr. Ramadoss said looting people in the name of professional education had become common and the government was doing nothing to prevent the blatant collection of money from parents. He said the PMK had been fighting for five years to end the system of capitation fees in private engineering and medical colleges. The system of admission based solely on money also meant the colleges violated rules guiding reservation in education for the oppressed classes.
The government's stand that it would act on specific cases that are brought to its notice was not correct, he said. He asked if it was realistic to expect parents to reveal how much they may have paid for their child to gain admission in a college.
The government was shirking its responsibility in the matter of controlling capitation fees in private professional institutions. On the DMK's demands with respect to State autonomy, Dr. Ramadoss said Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi made demands on autonomy or launched anti-Hindi agitations whenever he felt the DMK's strength was being eroded. He wondered why the Chief Minister was silent as hundreds of Tamils were being killed in Sri Lanka. He said he had no confidence that the State or the Centre would intervene to save Tamils. "The international community and the United Nations are the only hope," he said.

Cabrera repeats as AL MVP; McCutchen wins NL award
NEW YORK (AP) — All those who marvel at Miguel Cabrera can only wonder what he might've done this year if completely healthy.
Even so, Cabrera was a huge hit in Motown.
Despite being hobbled by all sorts of ailments, the Detroit Tigers slugger won his second straight American League Most Valuable Player award Thursday, once again beating Angels outfielder Mike Trout by a comfortable margin.
A season after winning baseball's first Triple Crown in 45 years, Cabrera came back to lead the majors in hitting at .348 and finish second with 44 home runs and 137 RBIs.
"I think this year was tougher because of the injuries," he said on a conference call from the Miami area.
"It was the last two months. It was tough to play through it," he said.
The eight-time All-Star missed several games after the break because of a bad back, a sore left hip flexor, a strained lower abdomen, shin trouble and a groin tear. He recently had surgery to fix the tear and said he'll be ready for spring training.
Still, Cabrera got 23 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He became the first player to win consecutive AL MVPs since Frank Thomas for the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and 1994.
Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen took the NL MVP by a surprisingly wide margin after leading a baseball revival in Pittsburgh.
McCutchen drew 28 of the 30 first-place votes to finish far ahead of Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina.
"I'm floating right now," McCutchen said in Pittsburgh. "But I definitely didn't expect it to be a landslide with those other guys — Goldschmidt and Molina. They were great candidates and I didn't know what to expect."
McCutchen ranked among the NL leaders by hitting .317 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs. He also scored 97 runs, stole 27 bases and had a .404 on-base percentage.
The 27-year-old with the long, flowing dreadlocks helped the Pirates stop a record streak of 20 losing seasons and make the playoffs for the first time since 1992.
Cabrera finished with 385 points, while Trout got five first-place votes and 282 points. The difference was 81 points last season, when Trout was AL Rookie of the Year.
Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who led the majors with 53 homers and 138 RBIs, was third.
"I think all three guys deserve this trophy," Cabrera said.
Davis and Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson each received a first-place vote.
Cabrera took his third AL batting title in a row. He also drew a $1 million bonus for winning a second MVP during his current contract with the Tigers.
No AL player has won three straight MVPs. Albert Pujols was the last repeat NL MVP winner in 2008 and 2009; Barry Bonds took four straight from 2001-04.
The Tigers have virtually owned the major postseason awards during a three-year run of success. Justin Verlander was the MVP and Cy Young winner in 2011, Cabrera took the MVP last season and Detroit ace Max Scherzer won this year's Cy Young Award on Wednesday.

economic training and instincts, familiarity with operations research tools, facility in computer simulation, and practical knowledge of the relevant technologies is extremely difficult. The growing use of graduate students as working interns is an effective, if slow, way of building talent.
The panel presents the following major observations:
The panel continues to be impressed with the technical quality of the staff and the projects under way in the Building and Fire Research Laboratory.
The merger of the two fire divisions to form the new Fire Research Division was a good move, and it is beginning to have a positive effect on morale, focus, and financial stability within the laboratory's fire-related programs.
A strategic plan is needed to define long-term goals for the laboratory and establish a uniform culture across the divisions. Such a plan should raise the understanding of laboratory objectives both inside and outside the laboratory. Increased focus on understanding customer needs and defining dissemination mechanisms early in projects would also enhance the laboratory's impact.
Standards and codes determine how design and construction are done in this country, so to have an impact on building technologies, the laboratory needs to develop a plan for providing industry advocates with the technical tools and results they need to promote the use of scientific information in standards and codes development.
Because the laboratory depends on external sources for a significant percentage of its funding, it should have a policy for deciding which external funding opportunities should be pursued. This policy should be clearly communicated to staff and might also be used to help decide what levels of external funding are appropriate for the various laboratory programs.
Strong informal relationships among staff from different divisions are an important element of successful interdisciplinary collaborations. Management should explore mechanisms that let staff build familiarity with activities and personnel throughout the laboratory.

Washington Capitals
By Scott Lowe So far during the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning, the Caps have been the better team five-on-five. In fact, they were dominant at even strength in their Game 2 overtime loss. It's been said throughout hockey annals, however, that specials teams can be the difference during the playoffs. That certainly has been the case thus far in this series. But why?

Happy International Cheeseburger Day everyone!
To celebrate, how about making you and yours some fabulously cheesy cheeseburgers with three types of cheese, bacon and more bacon? Oh and a cheese bun! …Does that make it four kinds of cheese? Yeah. I took the rules and threw them on the porch last night, like Fred Flintstone putting out the sabre tooth tiger (very unceremoniously). These burgers are juicy and huge and delicious and GINORMOUS. But with the size of the buns they make at the bakery now, you have to make a huge burger.

Violent S. Africa mine protest leads to fatalities
Capt. Dennis Adrio, a police spokesman, said: "Our objective is to civilize the situation on the ground. The second objective is to find who killed our two officers and those who killed the other dead."
Mining helped give birth to modern South Africa, as prospectors and later international companies rushed to areas around Johannesburg and elsewhere looking for gold, diamonds and other precious metals. Today, South Africa remains one of the world's dominant producers of platinum, gold and chromium.
But miners long have faced low salaries and poor working conditions. Apartheid kept black African workers from more lucrative jobs offered to whites. Though the nation became truly democratic in the 1990s, the salaries of black miners remain low.
As the protest continued Tuesday, a report released by an organization monitoring international mining corporations criticized Lonmin's operation at Marikana. The Bench Marks Foundation said Lonmin workers often live in deteriorating shacks without electricity, as workers' children suffer from chronic illnesses brought on by broken pipes spilling raw sewage.
Meanwhile, prostitution, alcoholism and other problems run rampant in the mining communities.
Mokwena, the Lonmin executive vice president, declined to comment about the report's allegations. However, he criticized the timing of the report's release, saying: "It propels more violence unnecessarily."
