Twenty-three year old Tahitian powerhouse Michel Bourez is taking on the world's best as a rookie this year on the ASP World Tour—commonly referred to as the Dream Tour for it's idyllic venues. Hailing from a small town 15-minutes away from the thunderous waves of Teahupoo, Bourez has been pegged by many—including 9-Time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater—as one to watch this year. His skills aren't news to us—we featured him in our annual Who's Now/Next feature in the March 2008 issue of TransWorld SURF along with the likes of Mitch Coleburn, Sebastian Zietz, Tonio Benson, and Owen Wright to name a few. And guess what? Out of that stacked crew, Bourez is the one who's gone the furthest. If that's not enough to make you a believer, Slater recently told the ASP "I think Michel Bourez will be the biggest standout of the rookies."
We caught up with Bourez a week before was to head to Australia for the 2009 ASP World Tour opening event…
Michel Bourez Quick Hits
Age: 23
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 170lbs.
Hometown: Toahotu, Tahiti, French Polynesia
2008 WQS Final Ranking: 3rd
Nickname: Spartan
Favorite Spot: Teahupoo
Favorite Surfer: Andy Irons
Sponsors: Nike 6.0, Red Bull, Futures Fins, Kelly Surfboards
TransWorld SURF: After a long time with Quiksilver you recently signed with Nike 6.0. How did that deal come about?
Michel Bourez: They just offered me a really good deal. It was also a chance to be the only one on the WCT sponsored head to toe Nike, so I'm really stoked about that.
Why do they call you "Spartan"?
[Laughs] That's weird, man! I don't know, they say I got the, how do you say, the ribs?
The ribs? You mean you're ripped!
We used to always watch that movie, 300, but I don't know how it got to be my name…
Don't sweat it. There could be a lot worse nicknames—like Barney for example. As you look ahead to the tour, what stops are you really looking forward to?
Teahupoo. I can't wait to surf in that contest.
Where else?
I don't know, just Pipe I guess. I think I can get a good result at one of those places.
You love those big, hollow lefts huh?
Yeah, I like rights too, but I feel confident in waves like Pipeline and Teahupoo.
Youtube clip of Michel taking home first place at the 2009 Reef Hawaiian Pro which was held in perfect, barreling surf at Haleiwa.
Which stops do you think will present a challenge to you?
I think Trestles will be tough—everybody can surf good in those waves. I think I'll have to boost some airs to do good there.
Even though the tour is a lot different than back in the day, have you spoken to the last Tahitian to make the tour—Vetea "Poto" David—about being on it and what to expect?
No I haven't. I see him around and say "Hi" but I don't really know him too well.
What does Michel translate into English?
How many languages to do you speak?
Three—Tahitian, French, and English. That's pretty much it…
No habla espanol?
No, I don't speak Spanish. Maybe a little bit…
A lot of people have been saying, "Watch out for this kid, Bourez!" on the tour this year. Do you feel like there's a lot of pressure on you to perform well?
No. I don't put pressure on myself. I just want to go out and o my best and do my job and learn on the WCT. I don't think about the pressure, I just want to stay focused.
Do you have any goals set for yourself; as far as how you do on tour this first year?
I'd like to finish in the top 15, we'll see if I can do it. If not, I just want to stay on the World Tour after the first year and improve after that to the top 10 or top 5.
Who's you favorite surfer on the ASP World Tour?
It's Andy but he retired so I don't know…maybe Kelly Slater or…Tim Boal!
Tim Boal? (Fellow 2009 WCT rookie)
Tim Boal. Yeah he's a good friend of mine but I have to be careful of him [laughs].
Who are some younger Tahitians we should keep our eye on?
My little brother, Kevin. You will hear of him soon.
Spartan Junior! As one of the few surfers to beat Kelly Slater in the last few years, what's the secret to it?
I don 't know—I was just lucky to get a few good waves. Everyone knows if you have one good score he's just going to get a 10 or 9.9 or something. I was happy to beat him, but it wasn't the best day of my life or anything. I would like to surf against him in better conditions—big Teahupoo or Pipe—where we both surf our best and see who would win. But Kelly's Kelly you know? He's almost invincible.
I can't wait to watch you surf your heat at the Billabong Pro Teahupoo, I'll sit on the reef and have a Hinano for you!
[Laughs] I'll be next to you after!

PANAMA CITY — U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland joined area residents and about 2.1 million people across the country that received health care benefits Wednesday.
And like some who joined the federal program, Southerland said he experienced the program's problems.
"Our co-payments went up and our premiums went up," said Southerland, R-Panama City. "I feel very strongly that you receive greater value for something when you receive greater choice."
As mandated by federal law under the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, members of Congress, along with the uninsured and people who wanted to switch to different plans, had to register at the federal exchange website by the Dec. 24 deadline to receive benefits Jan. 1. Congress members had to choose from "gold" plans only, Southerland said. To buy a "comparable plan" similar to the family plan he had previously, he'll have to pay an extra $580 a month.
Southerland, a vocal critic of the law since he first campaigned for the Congressional seat, again slammed the Obama administration for requiring "the rest of America" to enroll at the marketplace to receive health care services. Presidential appointees, members of the executive branch and federal employees were not mandated to enroll.
"I believe that's hypocritical," Southerland said. "I believe if you're going to create a law that's going to change and create havoc on the majority of America, I believe that there should not be any ruling class that that law does not apply to."
Southerland chose to have all of his staff go into the exchange, although the law does not require them to.
Another one of his concerns is the safety of private information on the online exchange, which has produced months of "glitches" that have resulted in erroneous enrollment.
"They'll tell us how many people registered, but registering does not guarantee you have coverage," he said.
He was referring to erroneuos signups called "orphans" and "ghosts" by insurers. An Associated Press report Wednesday described "orphans" as signups that are recorded in the government's record but do not appear in insurer systems. "Ghosts" are customers insurers have record of, but don't appear in the government's computer systems.
Either way, a person who has enrolled could be turned away for not having proof of health insurance.
The last days of December saw nearly doubled enrollment at the online federal marketplace, healthcare.gov, according to a Healthcare.gov news release. More than 975,000 people enrolled in December alone.
"I'm terribly concerned of the stories we're going to hear in the coming days, in the coming weeks of people that went in and believe they have health coverage," he said, "and if they go into an emergency room, only to find out that they were mistaken."
At the doctor
With more people signed up for health insurance under the federal system, it seemed medical offices would've been bustling Thursday with crowds of sick people taking advantage of much-needed benefits. But that wasn't the case.
"At the moment, it's too soon to analyze it," said Saroj Wadhera, office coordinator at Forest Park Medical Clinic on 23rd Street. "It should at least be within the next one week that we see some movement."
About 38,000 area residents are estimated to be eligible to enroll and receive federal subsidies through the federal marketplace, according to Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System. The hospital will host its second Obamacare seminar Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the hospital's auditorium, located at the corner of Sixth Street and Bonita Avenue.
Wadhera is optimistic about the health care law and anticipates an influx of newly insured clients.
"I feel that there's going to be a lot of movement because the people who weren't insured are going to be looking for providers and internal medicine is the first place they'll have to start," she said.
Jean Fernandez, manager at Women's Imaging Center on 23rd Street, said her clients are majority Medicare recipients; therefore, a surge in newly insured clientele wasn't expected. However, she said, in "two or three months, it may be different."
Kendall Bennett said more calls than usual came in just before the New Year holiday.
"Maybe its just coincidence," said Bennett, administrative assistant at the family practitioner office of Dr. Tim Smith on Doctors Drive. "It just seemed that it was more than usual; people wanted to secure a doctor."

Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it's leaning into your computer at work or hunching over your workbench at home. Wear-and-tear arthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.
Rarely, neck pain can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Seek medical care if your neck pain is accompanied by numbness or loss of strength in your arms or hands or if you're experiencing shooting pain into your shoulder or down your arm.
Give your doctor as many specifics as you can about the location and severity of your pain. Be sure to mention any head or neck movements that make your neck pain better or worse.
Neck pain can result from a variety of causes, including:
While you may initially consult your family doctor about your neck pain, he or she may refer you to:
Before your appointment, you may want to write a list that answers the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor will check for tenderness, numbness and muscle weakness. He or she will also ask you to move your head as far as it can go forward, backward and side to side.
In some cases, your doctor may order imaging tests to get a better picture of what might be causing your neck pain. Examples include:
However, many people have X-ray or MRI evidence of structural problems in their neck without experiencing any symptoms. So it can be difficult to determine if your symptoms are actually being caused by what shows up on imaging studies.
If your doctor suspects that your neck pain may be related to a pinched nerve, he or she may suggest electromyography (EMG). This test involves inserting very fine needles through your skin into a muscle to determine whether specific nerves are functioning properly.
The most common types of neck pain usually respond well to home care. If neck pain persists, your doctor may recommend other treatments.
Your doctor may prescribe stronger pain medicine than what you can get over-the-counter. Muscle relaxants or tricyclic antidepressant medications used for pain also may be prescribed.
Self-care measures you can try at home to relieve neck pain include:
Talk to your doctor if you're interested in trying alternative treatments for your neck pain. Your doctor can discuss the benefits and risks. Alternative treatments include:
Most neck pain is associated with poor posture on top of age-related wear and tear. To help prevent neck pain, keep your head centered over your spine, so gravity works with your neck instead of against it. Some simple changes in your daily routine may help. Consider trying to:

Honey is a sweet and viscous fluid produced by honey bees (and some other species), and derived from the nectar of flowers. According to the United States National Honey Board and various international food regulations, "honey stipulates a pure product that does not allow for the addition of any other substance…this includes, but is not limited to, water or other sweeteners". This article refers exclusively to the honey produced by honey bees (the genus Apis); honey produced by other bees or other insects has very different properties.
Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose and has approximately the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar (97% of the sweetness of sucrose, a disaccharide). Honey has attractive chemical properties for baking, and a distinctive flavor which leads some people to prefer it over sugar and other sweeteners.
Most micro-organisms do not grow in honey because of its low water activity of 0.6. However, it is important to note that honey frequently contains dormant endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can be dangerous to infants as the endospores can transform into toxin-producing bacteria in the infant's immature intestinal tract, leading to illness and even death (see Precautions below).
The study of pollens and spores in raw honey (melissopalynology) can determine floral sources of honey. Because bees carry an electrostatic charge, and can attract other particles, the same techniques of melissopalynology can be used in area environmental studies of radioactive particles, dust, or particulate pollution.
A main effect of bees collecting nectar to make honey is pollination, which is crucial for flowering plants.
The beekeeper encourages overproduction of honey within the hive so that the excess can be taken without endangering the bees. When sources of foods for the bees are short the beekeeper may have to give the bees supplementary nutrition.
Typical honey analysis
The analysis of the sugar content of honey is used for detecting adulteration. Honey has a density of about 1.36 kilograms per liter (36% denser than water).
Different monofloral honeys have a distinctive flavor and colour because of differences between their principal nectar sources. Beekeepers keep monofloral beehives in an area where the bees have access to only one type of flower, because of that flower's properties. In practice, because of the difficulties in containing bees, a small proportion of any honey will be from additional nectar from other flower types. Typical examples of monofloral or varietal honeys are "orange blossom", "sage", "eucalyptus", "tupelo", "manuka", "buckwheat", "sourwood", and "clover".
Germany's Black Forest is a well known source of honeydew-based honeys, as well as some regions in Bulgaria. Honeydew honey is popular in some areas, but in many areas beekeepers have difficulty selling the stronger flavored product.
Honeydew honey has a much larger proportion of indigestibles than light floral honeys, which can cause dysentery, resulting in the death of colonies in areas with cold winters. Good beekeeping management requires the removal of honeydew prior to winter in colder areas.
Because of its unique composition and the complex processing of nectar by the bees which changes its chemical properties, honey is suitable for long term preservation and is easily assimilated even after long conservation. History knows examples of honey preservation for decades, and even centuries. "...small residues of edible honey have even been found in the pharaoh's tombs…
A number of special prerequisites are, however, necessary to achieve the conservation periods of this order. These might include sealing the product in vessels of chosen material, kept in a favorable environment of specific humidity, temperature etc. An example of natural sealing of the honey with wax by the bees in little separated honey comb cells could be taken for reference.
When conventional preservation methods are applied, it is not recommended to preserve the honey for longer than 2 (maximum 3) years. As honey has a strong tendency to absorb outside smells, it is advisable to keep it in clean, hermetically sealed vessels. It is also advisable to keep it in darkened (not lucid) vessels, or in dark store-places. When honey remains in direct sunlight for about one day its lysozyme (an antibacterial albuminous enzyme) is destroyed. Honey should also be protected from oxygen inflow, which brings about accelerated crystallization. Optimal preservation temperature is +4 – 10 °C. The store-place should be dark and dry, preventing the honey from absorbing any moisture. If excessive moisture is soaked up by the honey, it might start fermenting. "Bee honey can absorb the moisture from the air; therefore it might ferment in a damp place"
"Exposure to fresh air brings about the soaking up of external smells, oxygen and moisture, which cause fundamental chemical change of the product—decay of valuable amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and "antibiotics". The light has a similar influence."
Acacia honey is known to be more resistant to crystallization. "The acacia honey would not crystallize (as quick as other types)…
For the aforementioned reasons (high tendency to absorb outside smells and moisture), it is not advisable to preserve honey uncovered in a refrigerator, especially together with other foods and products Honey is considered to gradually become toxic when preserved in metal containers. "Honey must not be preserved in metal containers, because the acids contained in its structure may cause oxidation. This leads to increased content of heavy metals in honey and decreases the amount of valuable healthy ingredients. Such a honey may cause obnoxious sensations in the stomach and even bring about a poisoning… It used to be preserved in ceramic and wooden containers in ancient times. Glass bottles are recommended nowadays. "The wooden vessels of coniferous wood are not suitable for honey preservation (honey soaks up the coniferous smell in such vessels). In the oak wood vessels honey grows black."
Traditionally honey was preserved in deep cellars, but not together with wine or other products. It is considered even more sensitive to the store-place conditions than the best wines.
Honey should not be heated above 40°С (104°F).
"The best honey is in the uncut honey combs. After being pumped out from there it is very vulnerable, and the main losses of quality take place during preservation and distribution. Heating up to 37°С causes loss of nearly 200 components, part of which are antibacterial. Heating up to 40°С destroys the invertase—the main bee enzyme, thanks to which the nectar becomes honey; heating up to 50°С turns the honey into caramel (the most valuable honey sugars become analogous to synthetic sugar). Generally any larger temperature fluctuation (10°С is ideal for preservation of ripe honey) causes decay."
The honey should not lay down in layers. If this is a case, it indicates the excessive humidity (over 20%) of the product, and such a honey would not be suitable for long term preservation.
A fluffy thin layer on the surface of the honey (like a white foam), or marble-coloured and white spots in crystallized honey at the wallsides of the bottle are caused by filling of liquid honey with subsequent sealing—the air bubbles are surfacing and part of them is concentrated at the wallsides. This is an indication of a high quality honey, which was filled without pasteurization (heating).
If the honey is transparent, burning with amber-like colours, then (unless it is very fresh) it has most likely been heated. Transparent and reluctant to thicken honey can also indicate its being a result of feeding the bees with sugar syrup or even sugar itself, which is bad both for the bees and for the honey they produce, as naturally they are supposed to feed on flower nectar.
A true honey that is at least one month old is usually of demure (not translucent) colours.
A 2008 Italian study determined that nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be used to distinguish between different honey types, and can be used to pinpoint the area where it was produced. Researchers were able to identify differences in acacia and polyfloral honeys by the differing proportions of fructose and sucrose, as well as differing levels of aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. This ability allows greater ease of selecting compatible stocks.
In Jewish tradition, honey is a symbol for the new year—Rosh Hashana. At the traditional meal for that holiday, apple slices are dipped in honey and eaten to bring a sweet new year. Some Rosh Hashana greetings show honey and an apple, symbolizing the feast. In some congregations, small straws of honey are given out to usher in the new year.
In some parts of Greece, it was formerly the custom for a bride to dip her fingers in honey and make the sign of the cross before entering her new home. This was meant to ensure sweetness in her married life, especially in her relationship with her mother-in-law.
In the accounts of the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Seti I, one hundred pots of honey were equivalent in value to an ass or an ox. Ancient Egyptian and Middle-Eastern peoples also used honey for embalming the dead.
Scythians, and later the other Central Asian nomadic people, for many months drove a wagon with a deceased ruler around the country in their last rites mourning procession, carrying the body in a casket filled with honey.
After his death in battle, the head of Vlad III Ţepeş (of later Dracula fame) was cut off and presented to the Ottoman Sultan, preserved in a jar of honey.
"Honey", along with variations like "honey bun" and "honeypot" and the abbreviation "hon", has become a term of endearment in most of the English-speaking world. In some places it is used for loved ones; in others, such as the American South, it is used when addressing casual acquaintances or even strangers.
"And thy Lord taught the bee to build its cells in hills, on trees and in (men's) habitations…there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for mankind. Verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought".There is an entire Surah in Qur'an called al-Nahl (the Bees). According to hadith, Muhammad(S.A.W) strongly recommended honey for healing purposes.
Honey is the main ingredient in the alcoholic beverage mead, which is also known as "honey wine" or "honey beer" (although it is neither wine nor beer). It is also used as an adjunct in beer. Beer brewed with more than 30% honey as a source of sugar by weight, or mead brewed with malt (with or without hops), is known as braggot. Modern microbrews of this style typically call their product "honey beer" instead, however, as "braggot" is an unfamiliar word to most English speakers.
Its glycemic index ranges from 31 to 78 depending on the variety. (http://www.rirdc.gov.au/reports/HBE/05-027.pdf)
When used topically (as, for example, a wound dressing), hydrogen peroxide is produced by dilution with body fluids. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is released slowly and acts as an antiseptic.
Mixed with lemon juice and consumed slowly, honey coats the throat, alleviating discomfort. The antibacterial and antiseptic properties of honey aid in healing sore throats and laryngitis.
Honey has been shown to be an effective treatment for conjunctivitis in rats.
Though widely believed to alleviate allergies, local honey has been shown to be no more effective than placebos in controlled studies of ocular allergies. This may be because most seasonal allergies are caused by tree and grass pollens, which honeybees do not collect. However, a recent study has shown pollen collected by bees to exert an anti allergenic effect, mediated by an inhibition of IgE immunoglobulin binding to mast cells. This inhibited mast cell degranulation and thus reduced allergic reaction.
Honey mixed with water and vinegar was also used as a vermifuge. The concoction was called Oxymellin.
A review in the Cochrane Library suggests that honey could reduce the time it takes for a burn to heal - up to four days sooner in some cases. The review included 19 studies with 2,554 participants. Although the honey treatment healed moderate burns faster than traditional dressings did, the author recommends viewing the findings with caution, since a single researcher performed all of the burn studies.
In 2005, China, Turkey, and the U.S. were the top producers of natural honey, reports the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Mexico is also an important producer of honey, providing about ten percent of the world's supply. Much of this (about one-third) comes from the Yucatan peninsula. Honey production began here when the Apis mellifera and the A. Mellifer ligustica were introduced here early in the 20th century. Most of Mexico's Yucatan producers are small, family operations who use primitive techniques, moving hives to take advantage of the various tropical and sub-tropical flowers. The honey-producing cycle depends on the rainy season. The first and best harvest takes place in the dry season between February and May. Many species flower at this time. After the rainy season begins, there are still plenty of flowers but the bees have a difficult time traveling for nectar and producing the honey because of the weather conditions. Bees may not make enough for sale and what may be produced is of lower-quality.
Honey is also one of the gourmet products of the French island of Corsica. Corsican honey is certified as to its origin (Appellation d'origine contrôlée) just as French wines are.
Honey produced from the flowers of rhododendrons, mountain laurels, sheep laurel, and azaleas may cause honey intoxication. Symptoms include dizziness, weakness, excessive perspiration, nausea, and vomiting. Less commonly, low blood pressure, shock, heart rhythm irregularities, and convulsions may occur, with rare cases resulting in death. Honey intoxication is more likely when using "natural" unprocessed honey and honey from farmers who may have a small number of hives. Commercial processing, with pooling of honey from numerous sources generally dilutes any toxins.
Toxic honey may also result when bees are in close proximity to tutu bushes (Coriaria arborea) and the vine hopper insect (Scolypopa australis). Both are found throughout New Zealand. Bees gather honeydew produced by the vine hopper insects feeding on the tutu plant. This introduces the poison tutin into honey. Only a few areas in New Zealand (Coromandel Peninsula, Eastern Bay of Plenty and the Marlborough Sound) frequently produce toxic honey. Symptoms of tutin poisoning include vomiting, delirium, giddiness, increased excitability, stupor, coma, and violent convulsions. As little as one teaspoon of toxic honey may produce severe effects in humans. In order to reduce the risk of tutin poisoning, humans should not eat honey taken from feral hives in the risk areas of New Zealand. Since December 2001, New Zealand beekeepers have been required to reduce the risk of producing toxic honey by closely monitoring tutu, vine hopper, and foraging conditions within 3 km of their apiary.

|Dixie Corn Dollars Recipe
with Honey Mustard Sauce
Adapted from a recipe by Renee Chernin
My original Dixie Corn Dollars Recipe made its debut in a Hanukkah cooking demonstration in Atlanta. I passed out copies of the recipe for these addictive treats which disappeared in a flash.
4 eggs
In a the work bowl of a food processor pulse 2 cups thawed corn with all ingredients except oil. Process until smooth. Pulse in remaining 1/2 cup thawed corn until the kernels are just mixed, not chopped.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil. When the top of each fritter bubbles, flip it and cook on second side until golden. Add more oil as needed.
With a small slotted spatula, remove each fritter to a baking pan lined with paper towels over a layer of newspaper or paper bags.
Drain well and serve warm with Honey Mustard Sauce or freeze for later use.
Yield: 12-15 servings
To reheat: Do not defrost. Place frozen corn dollars on a baking pan in a single layer. Heat in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 5 minutes until sizzling, or place frozen in a single layer on a warming tray until warm.
Honey Mustard Sauce
1/2 cup honey
Blend all ingredients except oil in a food processor.
Slowly, with machine running, add oil in a thin stream and process until blended.
Yield: 1 1/4 cups

FORT WALTON BEACH — Peter Ballard winced as Jeraco's needle-like claws dug into his skin. The tiny gray bob-tailed kitten clambered out of his hands and onto his shoulder.
Jeraco paused as she thought about her next move.
"Grab her!" the 10-year-old called to his mom.
All over the Save Our Cats and Kittens (SOCKS) shelter on Carmel Drive, people were meeting potential pets or getting some cat playtime Saturday afternoon at the Kitten Extravaganza.
See photos of some of the kittens in this gallery. >>
The event offered reduced adoption prices, a sale at the SOCKS thrift store and other benefits and activities for those who came.
In May, SOCKS reached out to its supporters and the community for help after reaching a financial crisis, said Lisa Bradley, acting manager at the shelter.
Donations flooded in, and the shelter is trying to host more fundraisers and adoption events like Kitten Extravaganza
The no-kill shelter depends on donations, revenue from the thrift store and volunteers to keep it running.
SOCKS cares for 100 to 120 cats and kittens at a time in about six rooms where most of them roam free.
"Seven if you count the hallway," Bradley said with a laugh. "We have cats there, too."
SOCKS has slowly scaled down the number of cats its keeps at the shelter at any one time, Bradley said.
Although it is getting more cats, it's also finding them homes a lot faster. Bradley attributes that to the lower population — people get more time to meet their pet.
Cats of all breeds, temperaments, ages and needs stay at the shelter while they wait for their "forever home."
"They're all adoptable if you find the right person," Bradley said.

You'll need a few tools, but according to Monson, you have plenty of options and she's created a trick for making the most of what you buy. "You need to have a thin brush, whether that's a paintbrush or a set of nail design brushes and you can use acetone to clean them between each color. Or, take a polish that has a nail art brush, dump out whatever's left, pour in acetone and shake it up until it's empty. Then, you can pour in whatever color you want and use it again."
Once you're set up, follow Monson's step-by-step instructions for creating your high fashion manicure!

- Advanced Features
My Cloud EX4 comes complete with a full suite of advanced features to power your home or office.
Volume virtualization using iSCSI targets
Manage storage over long distances and transfer data over LANs, WANs or the Internet by creating a Storage Area Network (SAN). My Cloud EX4 allows you to create and manage iSCSI targets, similar to a local hard disk drive, that is accessed over a network rather than locally. The iSCSI target is protected by the underlying RAID structure of the My Cloud EX4 server.
Jumbo frame support
My Cloud EX4 supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes. These large IP frames are used to increase performance over supported networks. Increases in data transfer speeds only occur if every device on your network supports jumbo frames.
Link aggregation and failover support
Combine multiple network connections to increase data transfer past a single connection and provide redundancy in the event of a failed connection. This is also known as bonding, and refers to the use of two LAN NICs present in your NAS and two cables connected to your router simultaneously, improving reliability.
Ondersteunt de laatste herziening van het internetprotocol.
UPS support (USB and network)
Provides extra protection from loss of power via USB or network.
USB UPS: A supported UPS device that is connected to My Cloud EX4 via USB cable can detect a power loss and gracefully shut down power.
Network UPS: Network UPS devices can be used when there is a single UPS device and multiple My Cloud EX4 units. One My Cloud EX4 can act as a "Network UPS server" and connect to the UPS device via USB or network (depending on the device). The network UPS server obtains UPS information and relays it to the other "client" My Cloud EX4.
Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for managing devices on a network, allows My Cloud EX4 to be used in a managed environment. IT administrators who need to monitor multiple network devices, including My Cloud EX4 via SNMP should download the document available here.
Real-time resource monitors
Provide up-to-date information on My Cloud EX4 resources, including CPU percentage, network utilization and RAM usage.
Volume encryption with boot-up password
Prevent unauthorized access to your data by creating a boot-up password for your drives.
Virtual volumes
Simplifies scalability by allowing you to map iSCSI targets on other network storage devices and present them as shares on your My Cloud EX4 device.
- Advanced Backup
My Cloud EX4 provides multiple options to secure your data from loss.
ElephantDrive is a premium cloud-based backup, sync and sharing solution platform. With simple, fast and reliable protection for all of your important files, ElephantDrive is the perfect solution for users at any level.

Lyric Opera of Chicago's groundbreaking collaboration with The Second City
wins two Joseph Jefferson Awards
for Best Production: Revue and Best Director: Revue
at the 45th annual Jeff Equity Awards gala November 4
The Second City Guide to the Opera
, the groundbreaking collaboration by Lyric Opera of Chicago and The Second City, won Jeff Awards for Best Production: Revue and Best Director: Revue during the 45th annual Jeff Equity Awards gala yesterday. The ceremony took place at Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. "This is the first time Lyric Opera of Chicago has been nominated, and to win this prestigious award is truly thrilling," said Anthony Freud, Lyric's general director.
The Jeff Awards are billed as "a celebration of excellence in Chicago theatre" and have honored outstanding theater artists annually since 1968. During the 2012-13 season, Jeff Awards judges attended opening nights of 143 Equity productions offered by 52 producing organizations. From these openings, 109 productions were "Jeff Recommended" and eligible for award nominations, resulting in 166 nominations in 36 categories.
The Second City Guide to the Opera
premiered in a sold-out, one-night-only performance in the Civic Opera House on January 5, 2013. Lyric Opera creative consultant Renée Fleming had the idea to bring together the world-renowned comedy troupe and opera company, both legendary Chicago institutions, to see what kinds of creative sparks might fly. "This unexpected mash-up of opera and sketch comedy was a great way to show die-hard opera fans – and new audiences – a fun side of our centuries-old art form," said Fleming.
The resulting revue-style show featured opera-themed comedic sketches performed by ensemble members of The Second City and The Patrick G. and Shirley W.Ryan Opera Center, with Fleming and legendary stage and screen actor Sir Patrick Stewart sharing emcee duties and appearing in sketches and satirical vignettes. Lyric Opera Orchestra musicians and revue music director Jesse Case (music director for The Second City e.t.c.) provided accompaniment. Case, Tim Sniffen, and Kate James wrote the material; The Second City's Billy Bungeroth directed, and TSC's Kelly Leonard was executive producer.
The resounding success of the January performance led to a month-long run of cabaret-style performances May 31-June 30, with audience and performers onstage at the Civic Opera House. It was this 23-show run (including new material) that was seen by Jeff-Award judges.
Performers for the extended run were Second City ensemble members Joey Bland*, Molly Brennan, Lilli-Anne Brown, Beth Melewski*, Tim Ryder, and Timothy Sniffen*.Billy Bungeroth* was director, Jesse Case* was music director and writer, and Kate James* and Timothy Sniffen* were writers. Singers from Lyric were mezzo-soprano Lauren Curnow and tenor Bernard Holcomb*, both former members of the Ryan Opera Center. (*participated in the January show) Musicians for the early-summer shows were Jesse Case/piano and guitar, John Macfarlane/violin, and Laura Deming/cello (both members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra).
The Second City Guide to the Opera
is a project of Lyric Unlimited, a multifaceted program of expanded community engagement and artistic initiatives.
All performances of The Second City Guide to the Opera were sponsored by PNC Bank.

Love the way this one turned out. This pattern definitely calls for simple quilting, and straight lines here and there did just the trick.
The back is this fabulous print from the Denyse Schmidt collection at Joann's. I bought 2 yards of this the first time I saw it because I love it so much as a back…or pillows.
I really should have ironed this before pictures. Oh well. :)

On the subject of theatre: has anyone else been to see any of the Nation previews at the National theatre in London?
What I know about theatre would fail to overflow the head of a needle - even if the angels did budge over - so I would be interested to hear what others thought.
I reckoned it was fun, though it might have taken some of the audience a while to work out that the guy with the Flock of Seagulls hairstyle was a parrot. So, no nudity, lots more laughs than Pinter and cavorting dolphins. What more could you want?

this is 6 weeks old news They probably will release ms office for linux as governments are switching to linux and they don't want to miss out on those government contracts.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 16:11
Sure, like governments will switch to Linux. Windows is too good of an operating system for them to switch to Linux.

Well lets see:
- In July 2001[1] the White House started moving their computers to a Linux platform based on Red Hat Linux and Apache HTTP Server.[2] The installation was completed in February 2009.[3][4] In October 2009 the White House servers adopted Drupal, an open source content management system software distribution.[5][6]
- Brazil uses PC Conectado, a program utilizing Linux.
- City of Munich chose 2003 to start to migrate its 14,000 desktops to Debian-based LiMux.[7] Even though more than 80% of workstations used OpenOffice and 100% used Firefox/Thunderbird five years later (November 2008),[8] an adoption rate of Linux itself of only 20.0% (June 2010) was achieved.[9][10] The effort was later reorganized, focusing on smaller deployments and winning over staff to the value of the program. By the end of 2011 the program had exceeded its goal and changed over 9000 desktops to Linux.[11] The city of Munich reported at the end of 2012 that the migration to Linux was highly successful and has already saved the city over €11 million (US$14 million).[12]
- The United States Department of Defense uses Linux - "the U.S. Army is "the" single largest install base for Red Hat Linux"[13] and the US Navy nuclear submarine fleet runs on Linux.[14]
- The city of Vienna has chosen to start migrating its desktop PCs to Debian-based Wienux.[15] However, the idea was largely abandoned, because the necessary software was incompatible with Linux.[16]
- Spain was noted as the furthest along the road to Linux adoption in 2003.,[17] for example with Linux distribution LinEx
- State owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) is installing Linux in all of its 20,000 retail branches as the basis for its web server and a new terminal platform. (2005) [18]
- In April 2006, the US Federal Aviation Administration announced that it had completed a migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in one third of the scheduled time and saved 15 million dollars.[19][dead link]
- The Government of Pakistan established a Technology Resource Mobilization Unit in 2002 to enable groups of professionals to exchange views and coordinate activities in their sectors and to educate users about free software alternatives. Linux is an option for poor countries which have little revenue for public investment; Pakistan is using open source software in public schools and colleges, and hopes to run all government services on Linux eventually.
- The French Parliament has switched to using Ubuntu on desktop PCs.[20][21]
- The Federal Employment Office of Germany (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) has migrated 13,000 public workstations from Windows NT to OpenSuse.[22]
- Czech Post migrated 4000 servers and 12,000 clients to Novell Linux in 2005[23][24]
- Cuba - Students from the Cuban University of Information Science launched its own distribution of Linux called Nova to promote the replace of Microsoft Windows on civilian and government computers, a project that is now supported by the Cuban Government. By early 2011 the Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas announced that they would migrate more than 8000 PCs to this new operating system.[25][26][27]
- The Canton of Solothurn in Switzerland decided in 2001 to migrate its computers to Linux, but in 2010 the Swiss authority has made a U-turn by deciding to use Windows 7 for desktop clients.[28]
- France's national police force, the National Gendarmerie started moving their 90,000 desktops from Windows XP to Ubuntu in 2007 over concerns about the additional training costs of moving to Windows Vista, and following the success of OpenOffice.org roll-outs. The migration should be completed by 2015. The force has saved about €50 million on software licensing between 2004 and 2008.[29][30][31]
- France's Ministry of Agriculture uses Mandriva Linux.[31]
- Macedonia's Ministry of Education and Science deployed more than 180,000 Ubuntu based classroom desktops, and has encouraged every student in the Republic of Macedonia to use Ubuntu computer workstations.[32]
- The People's Republic of China exclusively uses Linux as the operating system for its Loongson processor family, with the aim of technology independence.[33]
- The US National Nuclear Security Administration operates the world's tenth fastest supercomputer, the IBM Roadrunner, which uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux along with Fedora as its operating systems.[34]
- The regional Andalusian Autonomous Government of Andalucía in Spain developed its own Linux distribution, called Guadalinex in 2004.[35]
- The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) deployed Multi-station Linux Desktops to address budget and infrastructure constraints in 50 rural sites.[36]
- In 2003, the Turkish government decided to create its own Linux distribution, Pardus, developed by UEKAE (National Research Institute of Electronics and Cryptology). The first version, Pardus 1.0, was officially announced in 27 December 2005.[37]
- In 2010 The Philippines fielded an Ubuntu-powered national voting system.[38]
- In July 2010 Malaysia had switched 703 of the state's 724 agencies to Free and Open Source software with a Linux based operating system used.[39] The Chief Secretary to the Government cited, "(the) general acceptance of its promise of better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility and lower cost".[40]
- In late 2010 Vladimir Putin signed a plan to move the Russian Federation government towards free software including Linux in the second quarter of 2012.[41][42]
- The city government of Largo, Florida, USA uses Linux and has won international recognition for their implementation, indicating that it provides "extensive savings over more traditional alternatives in city-wide applications."[43]
- Iceland has announced in March 2012 that it wishes to migrate to open source software in public institutions. Schools have already migrated from Windows to Ubuntu Linux.[44]
- In June 2012 the US Navy signed a US$27,883,883 contract with Raytheon to install Linux ground control software for its fleet of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) Northrup-Grumman MQ8B Fire Scout drones. The contract involves Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, which has already spent $5,175,075 in preparation for the Linux systems.[45]
Thats alot of money if Microsoft does that, AND they can convince them to go with Office.

"The United States Department of Defense uses Linux - "the U.S. Army is "the" single largest install base for Red Hat Linux"[13] and the US Navy nuclear submarine fleet runs on Linux.[14]"
AFAIK that is erroneous, from an old article from many years ago I remember it saying the DoD had their own version of linux with over 100 times more lines of code than normal distributions and it was all private to the DoD.
Posted 11 April 2013 - 16:32
Most of that list is biased leaving out half the truth, outdated or plain erroneous. Some of it doesn't even make sense to be in such a list, what does embedded voting units running Linux have to do with such a list.

In recent decades Manassas had gone so far as to sell their home games to the highest bidder, but that all changed in the spring of 2004 when Bill Courtney, a former high school football coach turned lumber salesman, volunteered to lend a hand. When he arrived, the team consisted of 17 players, some timeworn equipment and a patch of grass masquerading as a practice field. Focusing more on winning young men than football games, the football program nevertheless began resurrecting itself and, in 2009, features the most talented team Manassas has ever fielded; a team that seems poised to end the playoff jinx that has plagued the school since time immemorial.
