The idea is you list your name and country and then people contact you by PM and ask to do an exchange of traditional sweets/candy for your region or country. So they send you something and you send them something. Try not to go overboard on this or it could get rather pricey. The items can be sweets, chocolate or some other edible item that is unique to your country or region.
I mentioned in the other thread that I first got to try Dutch salty licorice this way when we did an exchange on another site. It was very weird, but I got to like it. I seem to remember sending Lossin Dant, which is a traditional Welsh mint.
So - if you want to take part, list your user name and country below.

Even though I have thousands of autocross runs underneath my butt, there is only a handful that are noteworthy. Of these, my most memorable would have to be one that was almost 30 years ago and didn't come from behind the wheel of a Camaro. The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) has their premiere Solo event each fall and, at the Nationals, the best of the best compete for that elusive Championship trophy, jacket, recognition within our sport, and the bragging rights that go along with it. I can tell you firsthand (actually I can tell you 11 times), winning your class against the top caliber drivers is pretty cool. My most memorable run? Well, it came deep from within and involved trust in myself, knowing the car and its limits, and feeling what those four corners were doing underneath me. I danced with the car and felt that it just couldn't put a wheel wrong that day. It's a rare "in the zone" run that brings that all together, and while it sounds a bit Zen-like with a hint of "voodoo," it really isn't.
I'm guessing that if you've gotten this far, you've run a couple of the Goodguys autocrosses and want more. While you may never compete at an SCCA Pro-Solo or National championship event, there are lots of regional and local club events where you can hone your skills and develop your car. If you compete for any length of time, you'll improve both. As for pulling the trigger and entering some higher level events, all I can tell you is this: Just do it and don't worry about the stuff you can't control. When you throw down some awesome runs, it will all be worth it.
So how do you get to this level of competition and become that ace driver? Simply put, you work at it. Hard! Autocrossing isn't easy and it's pretty funny when people who haven't tried it tell you that driving tight courses at 35 mph max isn't that difficult and they could turn a quicker time at that Goodguys Autocross. If you've never tried autocross, it's easy to "arm chair" it, but the driving part is much harder than it looks. It's harder than driving on a racetrack as well.
Getting in the groove and putting the smack down on your competition starts with you. Not your car, not the course, but you, the driver. Your attitude can make or break your finishing position not to mention that peg-the-meter fun part. Each autocross run takes about a minute, give or take a few seconds. Some are longer and involve a lot more elements. You're talking huge chunks of concentration and focus as inches on the course translate into tenths and hundredth of a second for your time. Everything has to be precise and controlled with no room for error. While most novices see a parking lot sprinkled with traffic cones, I'm seeing small segments, or elements as we refer to them, all the while looking for any tidbit of available space to fit my big, fat '72 Camaro. It's saving precious real estate without losing length or traction that brings about a quick time no matter the type of course. When I return to my grid space after a run, I mentally replay it, focusing on what I did right and identifying areas on course where I can improve (we'll talk more about this later on). While it's hard not to do, don't beat yourself up about mistakes, as we all make them, myself included. The most important thing is to never give up and to keep attacking the course elements. While spectators think fast is lots of tire smoke and sliding sideways, that winning run will need smart, calculating precision coupled with smoothness behind the wheel. Realize, too, there is no such thing as a "perfect" autocross run, although some do come close.

How to start a corporate wellness program
For the past three years, Keith Kantor's company has been recognized as one of the healthiest in the metro area. But it's not the bottom line that earns Service Foods in Norcross the honor; it's the fact that 200 employees are plugged into the company's corporate wellness program.
"Engagement is the key word," said CEO Kantor. "You could have the best wellness program in the world, but if only 5 percent of the people participate, that doesn't help. You have to make sure you get a large participation."
Kantor's company boasts almost 100 percent participation across a range of programs designed to help employees get healthier and stay that way. There are behavior modification programs to get people to quit smoking or deal with drug and depression problems. They're encouraged to dig into the healthy foods available at lunch. And they're reminded hourly to move it.
"Everybody gets a text or email to stretch or do an exercise," Kantor said. "I leave my office door open so everyone can see me doing stretches or crunches or push-ups. I'm 59, and when the younger employees see the CEO doing it, they don't want to get beat by the old guy."
The company also offers incentives and prizes for employees who lower their blood pressure, lose weight and change their eating habits. But it's not the competitive side of the program that has the biggest impact: It's the fact that the emphasis comes from the top.
"There are consistencies among companies that do well with these programs, and one thing is having a vision and model set from senior management, not just the CEO and president," said Lauve Metcalfe, a Tucson, Ariz.-based consultant who works with companies to establish work-site wellness programs. "It's one thing for an employee to say, 'I want to get involved in this program at lunch or after work,' and then have the supervisor not be supportive. There has to be a desire to create a healthy culture."

I wanted to punch a grown man in the face the other day.
He'd been out of work several months, and we decided to meet up for coffee at the suggestion of a mutual professional connection.
I spent 90 minutes pouring every ounce of passion I had into this guy, coming up with at least a dozen ways he could take his personal story and work history and create a new narrative both online and in person. I showed him how he could use tools like LinkedIn to circumvent the gatekeeper system and start connecting and engaging with the actual decision makers and hiring managers of the places he wanted to work at.
The guy just slouched lower in his seat, nodding meekly as I went all Sgt. Slaughter on him. It took everything I had not to jump up, shove the table between us aside, grab him by the collar and shout: "Hey! You want something? You have to go get it! You need to hustle! You need to show a pulse! You need to personalize your approach and show others how once they hire you, they'll realize they can't live without the value and benefit you bring their business!"

By the time we were finished, I was emotionally exhausted. I might as well have been trying to motivate a mannequin. As a test, I gave the guy my card and said, "Email me and ask me to make the introductions to the people I told you about or to give you more advice on the job search strategies I'm telling you about, and we can go from there."
The guy never emailed.

For a phone that has the Xbox brand it is VERY light on games and the ones that are there cost a fortune. IOS usually gets the more varied style and type, Android usually gets IOS sloppy seconds with WP7/8 an afterthought.

I'll be skipping WP8. I was an early adopter for WP7 with both a Dell Venue Pro and Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 900, but MS really botched it all this time around.
We get the SDK today, for starters, and there were no ground breaking features in there that should have led to the death of my Lumia 900 on WP 7.8. I seriously saw nothing compelling in their launch at all; it was depressing.
The hardware from Nokia is looking awesome, but I'm no longer happy with the platform. I feel MS wasted 2 years porting WP7 to NT to make it work on the newer base. They need to stop rebooting this platform if they want people to keep paying attention.

Unacceptable, shameful. More than Sinofsky needs to be let go. And to the press, Neowin included, stop treating this disaster with kid gloves or Microsoft will take their sweet time fixing this mess. It's time for real criticism to wake their a$$es up. This is worse than WindowsMe and Vista. Both those actually worked as they should.

Just activated 920 today after someone stole my Iphone 4 from the gym. The hardware is solid, performance is ridiculously great. Unfortunately, the ecosystem isn't there. Might as well have my Galaxy S3 where I have to manually put music on and SD and create playlists on the phone. Arrgggh, how neandrethal. The Xbox Music ecosystem, just doesn't work and the Windows Phone Sync app is just basic file copy from what I see at the moment. Zune requires installation of older .net frameworks but that looks like the only solution that's going to provide any usability. My phone is my MP3 player and I need my music every day.

Martin Guitar Buying Guide
How to choose the right Martin guitar to match your budget and music
In 1801, Johann Georg Martin sent his 15 year old son Christian Frederick Martin to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer – one of the preeminent guitar makers of the day. Under Stauffer's tutelage, Martin developed the skills and craft that have become his legacy six generations and more than 181 years later.
After returning from Vienna to his hometown of Markneukirchen, Germany, Martin became embroiled in a feud with the restrictive violin and cabinet makers guilds. In 1833, he packed up his family and tools and emigrated to America to establish his trade in a growing nation. After six years in New York City, Martin moved to Nazareth, Pennsylvania where in 1867 he founded C. F. Martin & Co. with his son and first cousin.
Throughout its history, C. F. Martin & Co. has been at the forefront of guitar design, craftsmanship, premium materials and tone, developing many innovations that are now recognized as standards of the industry. Martin's innovative X-bracing, first introduced in 1843, as well as countless original body shapes and sizes (such as the famous Orchestra Model and Dreadnought models) have defined the acoustic guitar worldwide. Growing from a small shop in New York to its current Nazareth location with more than 600 employees, Martin guitars have continued to drive innovation while honoring tradition and legacy in the guitar world. Whether you're a beginning player or a guitar legend, Martin's makes a guitar that will inspire your passion for music!
Take a video tour of the faces, hands, hearts, and minds behind the exquisite craftsmanship of Martin guitars.
Why Choose a Martin?
The Martin Standard Series HD-28 is an immaculate re-creation of the herringbone Style 28 instruments considered the pinnacle of acoustic guitar sound and design by many Martin fans.
As we note below, Martin guitars have been played by some of the most important musicians of our era. As these countless artists appreciate, Martins have a trademark sound and playability that make them the gold standard other guitar makers attempt to emulate.
The Martin Museum contains an unparalleled treasure trove of vintage instruments that span the company's history. More than just a repository of great instruments, the museum is an essential resource for Martin luthiers who pore over the collection in the course of re-creating historic models as well as using it as a touchstone in developing new designs. As a further resource, Martin's instrument builders also have access to a recently digitized archive of essential details about historic instruments. The museum and archives help inform Martin's R&D efforts in a way that's unmatched elsewhere.
As with all great organizations, Martin's strengths lie in the people who work there. Many employees are second- and third-generation members of families whose Martin ties run deep. The culture of old-world craftsmanship has been passed down through these families and generations, and that transmission of "Martin DNA" continues to be a big factor in the company's continued vitality. This collective knowledge continues to infuse Martin with the mojo that has kept the company at the forefront of the acoustic instrument world.
Martin maintains what may be the most incredible repair facility in the world. Charged with the responsibility of repairing and restoring some of the most valuable and oldest instruments in the world, the staff has a deep understanding of old-world construction techniques.

Famous Martin Players
If you've listened to your fair share of acoustic guitar music, you've probably heard (and loved) the sound of a Martin guitar. As a leading guitar manufacturer with one of the most respected and well-known reputations in the industry, many discerning players have relied on Martin guitars over the years to achieve their sweet, acoustic sound onstage and in the studio. Whether delivering a rousing acoustic rock set, layering harmony for countless folk legends or hitting the stage with some of today's most popular music "legends" in the making, Martin guitars have been pleasing audiences for years. Some famous Martin players include: Jimmy Page, David Crosby, Neil Young, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, John Mayer, Johnny Cash, Neko Case, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Joan Baez, Gene Autry, Thom Yorke, Woodie Guthrie, Colbie Caillat, Eddie Vedder, Willie Nelson, The Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, Dierks Bentley and Hunter Hayes.
How to Choose the Right Martin Guitar for You
Martin guitars come in many different sizes, shapes, and wood combinations. They are available at many different price points as well. The degree of handwork and the quality of the woods and other materials used in various Martin models dictate their prices. That said, as we note below, there are some remarkably affordable Martin acoustics that can deliver much of the tone and craftsmanship for which the company is known. Only you can ultimately determine which Martin will best suit your budget and your needs. Use this guide to help you narrow down the options from the hundreds of Martin models you'll find at Musician's Friend.
You can browse the entire Musician's Friend selection of Martin guitars here.
Size, Scale and Sound
A logical first step is to determine the body shape and size that best suits you. If you are petite, have small hands, or prefer a smaller-bodied guitar, consider one of the Little Martin Series models built on a ¾ scale. You can choose from both acoustic and acoustic-electric models. Some guitarists who often travel opt for a Little Martin due to their great portability.
Orchestra and 000 body styles are another option for those looking for a smaller instrument. Smaller than a standard dreadnought, they offer greater comfort, especially for folks with smaller hands and frame. These smaller-bodied guitars have a more balanced sound than dreadnoughts with somewhat less emphasis on bass notes. Die to their well-balanced tonal range they're a popular choice in recording. Choose what is right for you.
Martin dreadnought models are prized for their great projection and volume. Their larger sound chambers provide deep, rolling bass notes that are ideal for powerful rhythmic accompaniment in settings such as bluegrass bands where strong, percussive rhythm playing is essential. Open-string chords deliver plenty of bright jangle and fingerstyle picking reveals the great tonal contrasts that Martin dreadnoughts are known for.
The Martin 15 Series 000-15M Acoustic Guitar has a comfortable 000 body style with 14-fret neck and is built entirely of solid mahogany for warm, round tone with the increased articulation thanks to its smaller body.
When choosing your Martin guitar, it is important to consider wood. A significant portion of a guitar's sound comes from the type of wood used for the top (the soundboard). Most Martins feature a solid wood top, which will produce a fuller, richer, louder sound than their laminate counterparts discussed below.
Spruce is the most common wood used for Martin soundboards, due to its loud, clear response. However, other tonewoods are available including cedar, which delivers a light and airy sound, and mahogany, which is tonally deep and robust.
The back and sides of the guitar contribute greatly to the guitar's overall tone as well. The most common options for back and side woods are mahogany, rosewood, and maple. Rosewood helps the guitar to stand out among a mix of instruments, with its deep bass resonance and brilliant highs. Mahogany tends to blend more, having a more balanced tonal spectrum. (Sapele found in many Martin instruments offers similar tonal qualities as mahogany.) Maple emphasizes volume, projection, and increased sustain. Consider where you plan to play your Martin. Many live performers—whether plugged or unplugged—prefer a spruce and rosewood combination to help their guitar sound stand out while performing. Many studio artists prefer a spruce and mahogany combination for more even dynamics. All of these options usually can be found in a Martin that's within your budget.
Laminates used for the tops, backs, and sides of the most affordable Martins are identified as HPL, standing for high pressure laminate. Made of compressed fibers and resins, these laminates are identified according to the grain pattern on their surface and have a protective clear coating. A guitar designated as having an HPL Spruce top, for example, will have the appearance of spruce. While HPL does not offer all the tonal sparkle and richness of classic tonewoods, the most economical Martin acoustics are still capable of offering a very satisfying sound and playing experience based on the company's tried-and-true designs. HPL is also very strong, resists warping, and is resistant to climate changes.
Electronics and Cutaways
Other factors to consider are electronics and cutaway options. Martin has teamed up with Fishman to include stage-ready electronics to many of their most popular guitars. Fishman is one of the top names in acoustic amplification, and their electronics complement Martin's legendary sound to deliver a professional amplified performance. Fishman pickups and preamps are specifically designed to help bring out the unique natural tonal spectrum of each Martin acoustic-electric model on which they're installed.
Cutaway body styles are a common feature on acoustic-electrics. The cutaway simply allows the player to access the higher notes on the neck of the guitar. If you tend to play a lot of solos and do a lot of fretting high on the neck, a cutaway will help enhance your performance.
The Martin Family of Guitars
Martin produces a wide variety of guitars in a number of different families, each with it's own specs, price ranges, and characteristics. These families include:
- X Series
- Road Series
- Performing Artist Series
- Retro Series
- 15 and 16 Series
- 17 Series
- Standard Series
- Vintage Series
- Authentic Series
Read on to find out more about these families and some specific models.
X Series
Featuring solid spruce or spruce- or mahogany-grained HPL (high-pressure laminate) tops, and mahogany-, rosewood-, or koa-grained HPL backs and sides, Martin X Series guitars are among the most affordable Martins. Acoustic-electric models feature onboard Fishman Sonitone electronics for plug-and-play simplicity in amplified settings. Available in 6- and 12-string models in a wide range of body shapes and sizes, they are an excellent choice for a first guitar and for the musician on a tight budget.
Martin uses some innovative and environmentally friendly materials in constructing X Series guitars. Aside from the laminated tops, backs, and sides, these include Stratabond, a laminated hardwood used on necks to resist warping. Resin-based Richlite fingerboards and bridges hold up to many years of hard playing while keeping the price of X Series instruments within reach of the budget-challenged picker. And lefties are in luck—many X Series guitars are available in left-handed models at no extra cost.
Here are some of the most popular X Series models:
Martin DXMAE
The DXMAE is one of Martin's most popular and affordable acoustic-electric models. Featuring a dreadnought body, an HPL spruce top and HPL mahogany back and sides, this guitar offers Martin's exceptional quality at a great price.

Fishman electronics faithfully amplify its articulate sound.
HPL construction on the Martin DXMAE keeps the price down while Martin's proven design and top bracing deliver plenty of full, detailed sound from its big dreadnought body.
Martin DXK2AE
With similar specs to the DXMAE, the DXK2AE has a dreadnought body for plenty of volume and an HPL koa-patterned top, back, and sides that visually set this guitar apart from the pack. The Fishman Sonitone electronics have easy-access volume and tone controls mounted just inside the soundhole.
Richly figured koa HPL laminate gives the DXK2AE a distinctive look while Fishman Sonitone electronics make amplification a snap.
Martin DX1RAE
Another dreadnought in the X series, the DX1RAE has a solid spruce top for bright, articulate sound and beautiful HPL Indian rosewood-patterned back and sides. Its full-size body joins the neck with Martin's patented mortise and tenon construction that maximizes tone transfer. Stage-ready Fishman electronics make this a great buy for the performer on a budget.
The classic combination of a solid spruce top on an HPL rosewood-grained dreadnought body woth Fishman electronics on board makes the DX1RAE a terrific buy.
Martin 000X1AE
The 000X1AE features a crisp-sounding solid spruce top, HPL-grained mahogany back and sides, and Fishman electronics—all in the smaller 000 body size. This guitar is a great option for the smaller-statured player, but all players will be pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the 000X1AE is to play.
The 000 body of the 000X1AE is extremely comfortable, and the on-board Fishman electronics help accurately capture the articulate snap of its solid Sitka spruce top.
Browse all the Martin X Series acoustic guitars here.
Road Series
Stepping up from the X series, Martin's Road Series guitars are Martin's lowest cost instruments with all solid-wood construction.

You can find out more about NPF's National Medical Director, Dr. Michael S. Okun, by also visiting the NPF Center of Excellence, University of Florida Center for Movement Disorders & Neurorestoration. Dr. Okun is also the author of the Amazon #1 Parkinson's Best Seller 10 Secrets to a Happier Life.
I know that for most of my patients with Parkinson's disease, one of the keys to success is a fully engaged caregiver. Caregivers play an important role in helping their loved ones cope with the impact of the disease and the complexity of home-care regimens. Caregiving is not easy and it can be more than a full time job. It is always hard for a spouse-caregiver to watch increasing disability in their once-vibrant partner. Helen Keller's caregiver, Anne Sullivan, once said, "I cannot explain it, but when difficulties arise, I am not perplexed or doubtful. I know how to meet them." A new study from the National Parkinson Foundation is highlighting just how important the caregiver is.
In our Parkinson's Outcome Project, we have assembled the largest longitudinal cohort of Parkinson's disease patients ever assembled in a clinical study. We have been collecting a measure called the multi-dimensional caregiver strain index on all of the spouses and caregivers in the study, and we have learned that recognizing and treating caregiver strain is critical.
We took the data we collected and asked, how can we show the importance of the caregiver to a person with Parkinson's and how can we show the dramatic impact of being a caregiver on the people thrust into this role? To understand this, we decided to look at situations where the caregiver changed. How hard was it to be thrust into the role of being a caregiver in the middle of the course of a patient's disease?
We expected to find that caregiver strain was higher for new caregivers, and we did. When a patient changed from having his or her spouse as caregiver to having another family member, the caregiver strain increase was 20 points higher that it was a year earlier when the spouse was the caregiver. For patients where the spouse stayed the caregiver, the change was just 5 points. In this 72 point scale, this 15 point difference is 20% of the way from no impact at all to intolerable strain, and is quite serious.
However, we noticed some other factors: Patients who switched from having their spouse as their caregiver to another family member also suffered worse health. They got sicker (they were more likely to move up the Hoehn and Yahr scale), they reported worse health on a health status questionnaire (the PDQ-39), and they suffered slower mobility that we measured in our clinics.
We realized that not only do experienced caregivers have well developed coping skills, but they also provide better care and better health to their loved ones.
In another study, Tanya Simuni at the NPF Center of Excellence at Northwestern University examined the impact that caregiver strain had on patients, also using data from our large Parkinson's Outcome Project. She found that the better the patient reported their own health, the lower the caregiver strain. This was important because we also measured the patient's disease clinically, and it was more patients' perception of their health that determined strain than the clinical measurement of the impact of the disease.
This new evidence of the impact of caregivers has really shed new light on how I look on the concerned spouse who accompanies my patients to their visits with me. Caregivers are an integral part of care, and we found that a happy, knowledgeable caregiver not only is better able to cope with the stress of caregiving; he or she also is just as important as any other member of the care team. While I tell my patients what pills to take and encourage them to exercise, when the going gets tough it's the caregivers who keep them fighting on, and it's the caregivers who give them the encouragement and embody a reason to work to achieve the best lives they can. I've known this in my heart since I started treating people with Parkinson's, but this important research will help us to prove that it's true, and also to set a baseline to measure the things we do to make life better for people with Parkinson's and their loved ones in the future.
