Glad to QSL for IOTA NA-058, grid EM91 and/or Glynn County Georgia. I upload to LoTW on a daily basis. QSLs direct or via buro will be responded to as quickly as possible. I work mostly CW (>97% of QSOs), some SSB, and I've been working PSK31 since Dec 2009, and JT65 on HF since Jan 2011. I will be happy to make skeds if you need a QSL.
Note: I've been having trouble getting QSL cards from the bureau. I'm not sure why. An envelope in Nov 2012 had 31 cards for QSOs from 2000 to 2004. In Mar 2013 I received about 160 cards, mostly for 2011 and 2012 QSOs. July 2014 I got a Bonanza of QSL cards in a big box. It will take some time to go through them. So if you have QSLed through the bureau, please be patient. I've contacted the 8th area and they are looking into why I have not received more envelopes. If you really need the QSL, send your QSL requests directly to me, and I will be happy to confirm.
I was first licensed in 1958 as KN9MOA as a Novice, upgraded to Technician in 1958 as K9MOA, and upgraded to General in 1959. In 1966 I moved to Ohio and was issued W8HST. I upgraded to Advanced (1972) and then Extra Class (1973) at the FCC Field Office in Detroit. Taking the Extra Class exam was interesting since you had to send 20 wpm code for one minute. I had no sooner started when the examiner stopped me and said I passed. Another fellow who followed me flunked the sending test for his General Class license and had to go home. The examiner asked him if he had ever sent code before; and the fellow said "No, he had never used any kind of handkey before." His first time was in the Detroit office. It was pretty obvious, too. His hand was coming off the key about 6 to 10 inches as he pounded the hand key. Terrible technique. Too bad he had to go home without even having a chance to take the written exam. In 1977 I traded the W8HSTcall in for K8CQ when Extra Class licensees could apply for 2-letter calls of their choice.
I operate from our retirement home on St. Simons Island, one of the barrier islands along the Atlantic coast of Georgia. We have great shrimp, beautiful 300-year-old Live Oak trees with Spanish moss, a great beach, and wonderful bike riding trails. I keep busy doing woodworking, and I would be happy to exchange ideas, photos, etc. for woodworking projects.
CC&R restrictions limit the antenna farm. I run 90 watts with an FTDX-3000. Part of the time I use the aluminum rain gutter on the back of the house as an antenna for 160 to 30 meters. I use a 16 ft flag pole for 20 to 6 meters. And I also have a 50 ft random length wire (14 ft high) fed as an inverted L with an SGC ATU and 16 ground radials that I use on all bands. I now have 319 DXCC worked and 313 confirmed on all bands; 150 worked on 80m; and over 1500 confirmed for the DXCC Challenge (July 2014). I need to make the application, but I have finally reached 100 confirmed DXCC entities on 8 bands; 200 confirmed on 5 bands. Thank you LoTW. On 6m, I've worked 17 DXCC entities (one QSO to CT1) and 39 states using the flagpole. In CQ Magazine's DX Marathon, I've been consistently one of the high scorers in the Formula 100 watt class. In 2013 I was 5th worldwide working all 40 zones and 235 countries. So don't let antenna restrictions keep you off the bands. It's a lot of fun and a great challenge to work the DX pile ups. And it's even more fun to tell others what I'm using for my antenna farm!!!
73 and best DX, Jeff K8CQ

5 Great Family Dramas to Watch With Your Teen
Remember back in the day (read: the '90s and early '00s) when family dramas were a thing? You'd get together with your parents, sit on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, binge eat said popcorn, and relax as the dulcet tones of Lorelai Gilmore whisked you away to a happy land full of mother-daughter bonding sessions, moral dilemmas, life-lessons, and questionable fashion. Those were the days, sob!
If you're looking for an A+ show to watch with your teen (you know, other than The Vampire Diaries, which totally counts), check out these 5 great dramedies. And FYI, at least two of these shows are currently on air — the rest you can either watch on Netflix or buy on DVD! ;

I'm in the process of writing an ebook titled "The Non-Technical Guide to Web Technologies". The goal of the book is be an essential guide for folks to have a fundamental understanding and updated knowledge of web technologies.
As suggested by the name, it is meant for a non-technical audience who perform their work in web business. This can include recruiters, business development, marketing, public relations and even non-technical startup founders.
Not everyone should be expected to fully understanding computer science/programming and that is motivation behind this book. I want to provide a resource that can provide a basic overview of the technology powering their business.
If you are interested in updates on this book, sign up for updates on the book's landing page.
Also, feel free to let me know what topics you want covered in a book.

I am a mother first and foremost, then daughter, sister, friend.... looking to fill in the other part in between mother and daughter, which would be partner, other half, or media naranja for you spanish speakers. :) To start off with, I am a single mother of this AMAZING!!! Little boy. He may not look like me, but Jesus he has my personality. I was born and raised in Miami, but my parents are from Santiago, Chile. A little bit about me, I am obsessed with music. What kind of music? Anything that I just feel, you have to feel it within you, in your soul i know that is very deep,(some people call me a hippie for the way about music) but that is how i feel about it! I like all kind's of different bands, as well as main stream bands too. I wouldn't consider myself a music snob per say just more of a music collector, connoisseur of sorts. So of course when it comes to being a music lover the added bonus is going to concerts. I love concerts, just the feel of the music there in front of you having all the people from all different walks of life enjoy the same thing that you like for the few hours that you are there. I as well love to read, I read mainly fiction books or autobiographies, whatever grabs my attention I will read it. I just recently bought four books and I am now on my third book. I devour the books like it is food for the soul. God I sound like such a nerd... lol oh well I am cute nerd though. :) I like to stay active, I recently joined crossfit which another thing that I am in love with. I know that sounds crazy to be in love with crossfit but I love the challenge, I love the camaraderie that you have with your fellow crossfitters how they try to push you so you can push yourself when you are slacking. I like the feeling afterwards just from working out, I need that feeling to keep going through my day. What I am looking for is someone who is simple, not complicated, fun, likes to do different things, can talk about just anything, has a good personality, who is family oriented person, positive and kind with a little bit of sarcastic and dry humor. If you are interested in getting to know me don't hesitate to send me a message.

One of my favorite spots believe it or not is the Rickenbacker Bridge, there is something about that place that I love, that is a place that i go to think, i love to walk up the bridge and looking at the ocean...
Tv shows, I like Greys Anatomy, True blood, Modern Family, and a lot of reality shows...but never have the time to watch them.Movies.Lock stock and two smoking barrels, boon dock saints, rock and rolla, greenstreet hooligans, snatch.
Music: My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon, Band of Horses, Adele, Mute Math, Muse, Vampire Weekend, Old school hip hop.Basically if I listen to it and I like it than I am hooked. Im not picky when it comes to music I pretty much like anything.

Sacha Guitry plays four roles - including Fran�ois I and Napoleon III - in this multilingual whirlwind of pageantry investigating the history of seven pearls, four of which end up on the crown of England and three of which go missing. The Pearls of the Crown rockets through four centuries of European history with imaginative, winking irreverence.
Eclipse Series 22 - Presenting Sacha Guitry (Criterion) (Disc 3 of 4): Desire (1937)
Sacha Guitry exchanges his usual top hat for a uniform in D�sir�, playing a cavalier valet embroiled in an awkward flirtation with his new employer (played by the actor-director's real-life wife, Jacqueline Delubac), who is involved with a stuffy politician. A carefree class farce filled with memorable supporting characters, D�sir� blurs the distinction between upstairs and downstairs.
Eclipse Series 22 - Presenting Sacha Guitry (Criterion) (Disc 4 of 4): Quadrille
A sparkling four-way affair overflowing with dialogue that showcases writer-director Sacha Guitry's wit, Quadrille stars Guitry as a magazine editor whose longtime girlfriend - to whom he plans to finally propose - is uncontrollably drawn to a handsome American movie star. Meanwhile, a discerning reporter (Jacqueline Delubac) watches from the sidelines with amusement and provides the final corner to this romantic rectangle.

The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World
Workman Pub., 2002 - Family & Relationships - 330 pages
At least one out of four people prefers to avoid the limelight, tends to listen more than they speak, feels alone in large groups, and requires lots of private time to restore their energy. They're introverts, and here is the book to help them boost their confidence while learning strategies for successfully living in an extrovert world.
After dispelling common myths about introverts-they're not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial--The Introvert Advantage explains the real issues. Introverts are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation-chitchat, phone calls, parties, office meetings-can easily become "too much."
The Introvert Advantage dispels introverts' belief that something is wrong with them and instead helps them recognize their inner strengths-their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration. It helps readers understand introversion and shows them how to determine where they fall on the introvert/extrovert continuum. It provides tools to improve relationships with partners, kids, colleagues, and friends, offering dozens of tips, including 10 ways to talk less and communicate more, 8 ways to showcase your abilities at work, how to take a child's temperament temperature, and strategies for socializing. Finally, it shows how to not just survive, but thrive-how to take advantage of the introvert's special qualities to create a life that's just right for the introvert temperament, to discover new ways to expand their energy reserves, and even how, when necessary, to confidently become a temporary extrovert.

Sam Harris, the atheist superstar, says Americans are living in a "God-drunk society."
America is now a nation of 300 million souls, wielding more influence than any people in human historyâand yet 240 million of these souls apparently believe that Jesus will return someday and orchestrate the end of the world with his magic powers. This hankering for a denominational, spiritual oblivion is not a good bet, much less a useful idea.
And yet, abject superstition of this kind engorges our nation from sea to shining sea. Consequently, the rest of the developed world has learned to view America like a rich, southern auntie: She may be bumptious, bloviating, smarmy, and God-drunk, but sheâs got all the money; everyone is in her debt, and everyone is hoping that sheâll just shut up and go to sleep.
This is one of many short essays in The Atlantic Monthly's 150th issue, out now, on "The Future of the American Idea." The complete essays are available online by subscription only.
Curiously, The Atlantic editors also invited "Left Behind" author Tim LaHaye to pen a piece about the religious beliefs of our Founding Fathers.

I recently decided to leave the world of education and move into sales. Many people have asked me how I came to this decision, so the following is my explanation:
Where to start? Ah, when I was a freshman in college, my advisor told me to pick a major. I told her I never wanted to take another English class and that I was undecided between being a business major and education. I choose business education so I didn't have to decide. I took on an English minor as a way to stay in school for an extra year for track (and because I had an English professor who was incredible rude, offensive, profane, awesome).
Before I knew it I was student teaching and then got a job teaching English in Colorado.
I kinda enjoyed the whole teaching business/computers and coaching while at RHS, but about that time I was still considering the whole business/MBA thing. Once I finished that up, I definitely decided to bail on the whole teaching thing and abandon the getting sweared at/teaching how to use commas/grading papers.
A position came open at Runnion Equipment and I was able to move into it. While I will miss the people I work with and the summers (oh, the glorious summers), I am definitely excited for the new opportunity, and I am learning a lot every day which is fun. So if you know anybody who is looking for a crane, bucket truck, trailer, or forklift, let me know.

After a short-week loss to the Chargers, the Broncos were still a bit short-handed when they returned to work Monday.
While it was essentially an extra day of work before this week's game at Houston, the Broncos were without wide receiver Wes Welker, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post.

Families of the Lebanese pilgrims shut down shops belonging to Syrians in the neighborhood of Hay al-Sellom.
BEIRUT: The families of the nine Lebanese pilgrims kidnapped in Syria last May closed down Syrian-owned shops Friday in a suburb south of Beirut.
Nearly 40 of the hostages' relatives closed down the Syrian-owned shops in the neighborhood of Hay al-Sellom, leaving messages on the doors bearing their signatures.
"These shops have been closed upon a decision by the relatives of the hostages in Azaz, until the pilgrims return," read one of the messages.
Security sources told The Daily Star that the Syrians in the area responded with fear, heeding to the relative's warnings and immediately shut their shops' doors.
Eleven Shiite Lebanese were abducted in Aleppo, a region in northern Syria, on their way back home from a pilgrimage in Iran 10 months ago. Two were released in August and September.
One of the relatives told a local television station that they will not allow Syrians to work in Beirut's southern suburbs, and said that they should fear for their lives.
"From now on it is forbidden for Syrians to work in our areas," he told LBCI.
A sheikh delegated by the Higher Shiite Council to follow up on the case of the hostages said the relatives aim to pressure the Syrian captors, adding that they will also target Turkish interests in the near future to set the hostages free.
"The families aim to disrupt the work of Syrians in Lebanon and they are threatening to target the Turks later on, to convey a message that their case should be resolved," Sheikh Abbas Zogheib told The Daily Star.
Zogheib blamed Turkey for the abduction, saying the country has an important role to play in securing the release of the pilgrims.
"The captors are only of minor influence in the case, the Turks can easily pressure them to free the hostages," he said.
Turkey, a strong supporter of the rebels fighting against Syrian President Bashar Assad, has previously claimed that it was acting as an intermediary in the release of the hostages.
However, Turkish officials have repeatedly said that they are not to blame for the kidnappings.
The relatives of the pilgrims have staged various protests outside government buildings as well Turkish and Qatari missions in Lebanon since their loved ones were kidnapped.
Last month, President Michel Sleiman held talks with Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, during a visit to Doha, over the case of the pilgrims and asked for help to secure their release.
He also met with the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on the sidelines of an Arab League summit in Doha, and urged that Ankara "exert every effort within its means" to secure the release of the hostages.
Earlier this month, sources told The Daily Star negotiations for the hostages' release were ongoing after they had been transferred to a rebel Islamist faction in Syria.

Book Reviews
Delightful projects with clear, sure-handed instructions. This beautiful book will captivate and inspire seasoned crafters and beginners alike
It's the perfect time of year to start thinking about making some homemade goodies to give as gifts for the holidays. If you are someone like me, with more ambition than real sewing skills and a tendency to over-estimate how much free time I actually have (yes, wishful thinking!), you really need to choose your projects with care. I think...
According to Charlie McConnell, a geek is made up not only of flesh and blood, but of awesome. I agree with this. Geeks are awesome. So is this book, World of Geekcraft. It has lots of awesome projects. Some are difficult and need time and effort to complete but if you use time and effort, the projects will come out...
A user-friendly manual to such "kooky" items as Dungeons & Dragons earrings, Star Trek pillows, and Morse code quilts. Beal is no stranger to hipster DIY, and she possesses a talent for imparting simple instructions with a sense of fun. Filled with color photographs by Jay B. Sauceda, World of Geekcraft offers readers an inspired excuse to let their crafty...
I was impressed by the readability and clarity of the directions on the projects. The steps are written specifically. Unlike some craft books, this one has an image for every project on facing page. There is no searching for what the project should look like.
If you have a love for buttons + crafting this is the perfect book for you.
I think that's part of the fun of Button It Up — not only are the projects are wonderful, you also get a huge dose of button eye-candy. Yum yum.
If you're familiar with Susan's jewelry-making book,Bead Simple (a well put together and highly approachable book, if you're interested in jewelry making), you'll appreciate that Button it Up follows a similar format — lots of great "recipes" (that's how I think of them) for making unique projects, this time using buttons.
The book has 80 projects in Susan's signature simple style — each one lets the focus be on the unique buttons you choose to highlight. Every project is complemented with full page photography so you can soak up all of the pretty buttons contained in each one.
The Vintage Button Primer gave me an incredible appreciation for buttons and left me really excited to see how Susan and the guest contributors used them in the book. Aside from the primer chapter, the book is filled with a beautiful variety of projects from home dec items, to jewelry and gifts. Most are in the easy to medium category...

Hangover Hare Scramble Virgin
Been riding trails and such with friends for a few years now...figure it's about time to take it up a notch
This will be my first real Hare Scramble, registered for the Senior 40+ class....
I have no intention of trying to win the damn thing or even push it that hard...just looking to finish.
More importantly, I want to avoid being the guy everyone talks about at the end of the race...with most comments starting with "that idiot"
Any suggestions or experience you veterans are willing to share to help me keep that from happening?
on a side note, my 8 year old has asked to run her TTR 50 in the mini class :clap it will be her first race as well
Let us know how it goes! I'm also a total newbie with racing (seems like most people start out when they're really young) and I'm looking forward to learning from your mistakes.
Just remember no one's there to judge you and all the most embarrassing mistakes have already been made. If you fall over in tricky stuff, just do it properly with your feet on the pegs and your head up and over the handlebars. Don't kick your bike over when mounting by not throwing your leg quite high enough over the seat - you'd be surprised what mistakes you make when you're tired/sore/nervous. Let's not get into how I know that one.
Be glad it's not at Antietam anymore. The track there was brutal.
Anyways just get good sleep and start mega hydrating the week before the race. Limit yourself to one cuppa joe a day for that week if you can and load a good bit of carbs for two days prior. If you've the time go out and ride for two hours straight as much as possible so you have some idea of what it entails. I'd take a couple of Advil or other NSAID before the event and have some available for after. That takes care of you.
Make sure the bike is up to the job. Do a complete service/checkover and fit a new rear tire if it's even close. Riding for two hours if ya can will also give you an idea of how much fuel you'll use.
When someone comes up behind you yelling and revving the engine let 'em by ASAP. They're not being dicks they're in it to win and you're in the way.
Maybe I oughta go dig up the YZ from West Virginia and run this. Haven't done it since..............I don't remember. :D
Thanks...I appreciate the insight.
carbs, hydrate, and rest....bike prep.... stock up on pain meds... :thumb
I like Gu and hammer nutrition products before during and after the race.
Keeping your BSL up is great when you're going hard.
Moderation in everything,(except racing :D).
I am going to do this one barring any misfortune. Haven't raced in 4 years. Wheeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll run the 50+ slow guy ( :evil ) class.
Cool, look forward to seeing you there...
Picked up a new to me DRZ400 yesterday, upgrading from my KLX250S....now to get everything prepped for next month
Probably swapping out the factory tank for the IMS tank I have, but certainly getting some new 606's
I'll be riding this old beast. Probably shoehorn on some new sneakers and change the oil. Fookin thing is almost maintenance free.
Don't let that stop you from trying, it's still a hell of a lot of fun. You just need to be realistic in your goals and make sure you aren't riding too far over your head. I did that in a race up near Gallup and nearly ended my race after going over the bars pretty hard in a wash.
You will probably be more exhausted than you have ever been by the end. Remember to drink water while you ride. Stop if you have to in order to drink. It isn't worth the 5 seconds you'll lose doing so to end up dehydrated and in heat stroke. To finish first, you must first finish. :evil
I have no idea how the classes run out there, but if you find yourself severely left in the dust, you might try just racing vanilla C class. A lot of times in bicycle racing the 40+ class is just a bunch of ex-pros who don't want to have to compete against the young pros.
Thanks Pomo...
oh, I fully expect to have my buttocks handed to me...but the only way to learn is to do it.
Just trying to do it without getting hurt or causing someone else to get hurt.
I'm not sure how big the turn out will be for a January 6th race, figure weather will play a really big part in it.
Your comment about stopping to drink if needed certainly makes sense...Thanks
And listen to yourself, if you think you need to stop and clean your goggles or take a good long drink DO IT! No sense crashing and possibly getting seriously injured just because you thought you couldn't afford 60 seconds to clean your goggles or drop some air pressure.
You're gonna have a good time, best of luck!!!!

Mobile broadband and dongles go together like tea and toast. The dongle is our key to accessing the internet on the move, enabling us to get broadband speeds wherever we are.
If you've only ever used home broadband, prepare for the tiny, humble dongle to completely change your web experience. Better still, getting your hands on a dongle could help you cut your home phone and broadband costs and might even mean you can ditch your home phone line altogether.
When it comes to making choices about broadband packages, dongles and dongle deals are popping up everywhere, yet many of us are still wondering, what exactly is a dongle?
The term 'dongle' or 'mobile broadband dongle' refers to a device that you plug into the USB port of your laptop or PC and which provides you with mobile internet access via a 3G mobile network or using more recently available super-fast 4G technology.
Although dongles have been around for years now, you still often see 'dongle' misspelled as 'dongal', 'dongel' or 'dongall'. Although only relatively recently applied to mobile broadband portable modems, the term dongle has been used in the IT world for years, where it traditionally refers to any small piece of hardware that connects to a computer via a USB port.
However, as the mobile broadband revolution took hold, the term dongle became more widely taken to mean devices that plug into USB ports but which are specifically for getting you online on the move.
Dongles are usually connected to the USB port using a short connector. The dongle itself works exactly like any other modem but gives you the freedom to access broadband speeds wherever you are, provided there is mobile phone coverage.
Most dongles use 3G mobile technology, or third generation mobile technology. You can find out more about 3G in our guide 'What is 3G?'
However, faster 4G services are now available in the UK. These combine new network technology with special dongles to offer speeds up to five times the average 3G connection.
Both 3G and 4G dongles are designed to make life easy and, with that in mind, they often require little or no installation. Most dongles are simply 'plug and play' so, provided there is 3G or 4G network coverage where you are, you can start surfing the web straight away.
Interested in fast mobile broadband? >> Compare all fast mobile broadband deals.
Dongle deals are available from almost every mobile broadband provider, whether that's pay as you go mobile broadband dongle deals or longer-term pay monthly offers.
As competition for your custom hots up, you will find you can get a deal on a mobile broadband package and dongle for around the same as you can get a home broadband deal.
Compare cheap mobile broadband deals here cheap mobile broadband.
Dongles come free with many mobile broadband packages. Providers currently offering free dongles with a mobile broadband contract are:
Each mobile broadband provider offers their own dongle with their own mobile broadband packages. So you need to consider which could be the right dongle for you, as well as which package will best suit your needs.
EE 4G dongles are the quickest around and deliver speeds of up to 40Mbps. That makes it, by some distance, the UK's fastest mobile broadband provider.
Three dongles use HSPA+ technology for broadband connection speeds of up to 21Mbps. Choose between the Huawei E3231 Standard Dongle or the Huawei E3256, which features a handy rotating head for improved performance.
Vodafone offers a range of dongles, all of which offer a maximum speed of 21.Mbps.
O2's dongles are sleek, small and very portable, with a choice of colour options. O2's 3G network will provide users with a headline connection speed of up to 21Mbps.
Virgin Media's mobile broadband dongle is in a cool matt black and stands out for its amazingly compact dimensions and maximum speeds of 7.2Mb.
A BT dongle offers a great pay as you go dongle, with connection speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.
If you want to use your dongle to get mobile broadband when abroad, it is worth checking with your individual ISP. In theory you can access the internet using your dongle wherever there is mobile phone signal, however are sure to additional charges involved.
Find out more about using your dongle abroad in our guide Broadband abroad.
2012 saw the arrival of the UK's first-ever 4G dongle and 4G mobile broadband service courtesy of EE. Since then 4G speeds have grown faster and faster on EE, while rivals have come to market to competing 4G services.
As competition heats up and 4G connections become more available, mobile broadband dongles could yet replace fixed-line broadband as the primary way most people get online.

WASHINGTON — More than 130 water utility professionals from throughout the country paid a visit to Capitol Hill yesterday for the ninth "Water Matters Fly-In," an event sponsored by the American Water Works Association (AWWA), according to a press release.
Smart water security policy and infrastructure funding were among the top issues discussed with lawmakers during the Fly-In, the release stated.
Specifically, AWWA urged Congress to: Create a federal Water Infrastructure Bank; bring to the floor and vote for S.1005, the Water Infrastructure Financing Act; and support H.R. 537, the Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investment Act, according to the release.
Other issues water professionals discussed with legislators included change impacts, pharmaceutical compounds in water, carbon sequestration, hydraulic fracturing and perchlorate, the release stated.

Listen up. I have a secret to share, one that I rarely admit. I really like hot dogs. So when I first discovered uncured hot dogs (also labeled "no nitrates or nitrites added"), I immediately bought them.
Nitrates and nitrites are key in hot dogs and other cured meats like ham and bacon: they prevent spoilage and block the growth of the bacterium that causes botulism (a foodborne illness). They're types of salts, with nitrates naturally found in many vegetables and converted to nitrites in your body—or in the lab. But I also knew the preservatives are believed to be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer.
So these uncured dogs were the healthier choice, right? Turns out most uncured meats still have nitrates/nitrites in them—they just come from a natural source like celery powder. They're labeled "uncured" and "no nitrates or...read full post »
Every five years, the USDA releases the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (aka what we all should be eating).
In advance of the official release, an advisory committee publishes its suggestions for what should become the Dietary Guidelines. That report came out last week.
Although some vociferous voices have criticized the guidelines, well-respected, highly credentialed nutrition experts have also applauded them (see here, here and here).

The concern started in 2012 when Consumer Reports published its first report on arsenic in rice. Since then, it's been making us think twice about too much risotto and sushi rolls.
Arsenic is a natural element in water and soil. (It also comes from environmental contaminants.) And while many foods we eat contain some arsenic (from apple juice and beer to chicken), the concentration of arsenic tends to be higher in rice because rice absorbs it more readily than other plants do.
"Arsenic is held tight in soil by iron oxide, but in flooded paddy soil [where rice is grown] these iron oxides dissolve, releasing arsenic into the water, making it more available to plants," says Brian Jackson, Ph.D., associate research professor at Dartmouth College.
Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic is associated with skin, bladder and lung...read full post »
Granola's health halo can be well deserved; after all, it's made with whole oats, nuts and dried fruit and most brands have 3 grams of fiber per ¼-cup serving. But they can be high in sugar and calories. Here's how to pick the healthiest and tastiest.
Sugar Smarts: Almost all granolas have some sugar—it's one reason they're so yummy. Look for one with no more than 6 grams per ¼ cup.
Don't Miss: DIY Homemade Granola Ideas
Check the Calories: Granolas pack around 100-130 calories in a small 1/4-cup serving. That's about twice what you'll find in many cereals. So keep serving size in mind and try just a bit of granola on top of yogurt or ricotta with lots of fruit....read full post »
I've had countless friends ask me if they should "go Paleo" and while I don't recommend the diet as a whole (read more about the pros and cons here), there are certainly some healthy principles that we all can borrow from the popular plan.
The Paleo Diet is based on eating like our ancestors ate, back when they were still hunting and gathering. It eliminates foods that weren't around back then, which makes sense since we've certainly taken some steps in the wrong direction in the past many thousand years when it comes to the foods we eat. (I'm looking at you, neon-orange cheese powder and doughnut cheeseburgers.)
With that in mind, here are 5 Paleo Diet principles worth following to help you eat better in our modern world.

Ed Feulner: Reassuring anxious Asian allies
President Barack Obama's most recent visit to Asia probably struck many Americans as simply the latest round of executive-level diplomacy — basically the kind of trip abroad that chief executives have been making for decades. He's been to the region six times as president, after all — not much different than President George W. Bush at a comparable point in his presidency.
There was more to it than that, though. The unstated mission seemed to be to reassure our nervous allies that we remain committed to their security, and that we're ready, willing and able to defend them against escalating threats.
Unfortunately, it's not hard to see why our allies and friends in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines — the four countries the president visited — would need such a message.
For one thing, China has been aggressively asserting its sovereignty, using its military to try to enforce specious claims to territory throughout the East China Sea and South China Sea. This explains why, for example, Obama made a point of saying that the Senkaku Islands fall under the defense treaty between the United States and Japan.
"Let me reiterate that our treaty commitment to Japan's security is absolute, and Article 5 (of the bilateral security treaty) covers all territories under Japan's administration, including the Senkaku Islands," the president said during a news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Though this marked the first time a president had expressly pointed out that the treaty covers the islands, it was hardly a new message. During a flare-up of tensions between China and Japan over the Senkakus in 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted that the islands "are part of our mutual treaty obligations." In 2004, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage made the same point.
Yet it was necessary to say it again. Mr. Obama also gave clear public statements in support of our treaty commitments to the Philippines (forging a deal that will result in a greater U.S. military presence at Philippine bases), and signed up Malaysia to a Bush-era program known as the Proliferation Security Initiative.
It's not just China's latest round of bellicose behavior that led to such reassurances. Troubling cuts in the U.S. defense budget, especially in the wake of last year's "sequestration," haven't gone unnoticed by our allies. They can count warships and bombs as easily as the rest of us, and they aren't happy about what they're seeing.
"Well before sequestration," writes Asia expert Bruce Klingner, "it was clear that the administration was underfunding defense requirements in a way that would undercut its commitments."
He points out the fact that the Navy's shipbuilding budget has been too low for years, resulting in fewer vessels than we need to fulfill our obligations in Asia and elsewhere. Gen. John M. Paxton Jr., assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, asked in a recent speech: "Do we have enough people and enough ships to do it?" The answer was clearly no.
"The 'Asia Pivot' or 'rebalance' has always been more hype than reality," Klinger adds. "The policy is a sound one only if sufficient resources are devoted to deploy the requisite military forces in the Pacific."

It's Fashion Week here in New York City and supermodels like Naomi, Heidi and Kate are parading around in skimpy, sexy swimwear for all the top designers' newest lines.
While we couldn't score a front row seat to Michael Kors' runway show and Heatherette claimed they didn't have any more chairs left even though we said we'd stand, we managed to get the scoop on a new swimwear label that's breaking all the fashion rules…
Introducing Wholesomewear: the modest line of skirted swimswuits, designed to "highlight the face and not the body." The swimsuits comes in three styles:
Culotte Skirted Slimming
All styles pair perfectly with a straw hat:
And the seperate undergarments come in several different designs :
Floral Sunset Night Song
For now the collection is focused on beachwear but the label may produce a line of PJ's and communion dresses for next year's Fashion Week.
Tune in tomorrow when we're backstage getting all the latest gossip at the Kathy Ireland runway show.

More Details >>
Goodman Automatic Case Erector
Item is a used Goodman, automatic Case erector/bottom sealer. This is a tape seal machine, manufactured in 2007. Machine is equipped with an Allen Bradley Compact Logix L@E controls, Allen Bradley 1 HP Powerflex 4 Variable Frequency Drive, Sola Power supply Model SDN 10-24-100P, Allen Bradley Panelview 300 Micro Display in the control cabinet. Machine is in excellent condition with operators manuals. The machine is currently set up for 460 volt, 3 phase power. Manuals are included with the machine.
New Stock - 7 bbl skid mount steam heated brewhouse. The brewhouse is built locally, fabricated and assembled in Portland, Oregon. Lead time is approximately 12 -14 weeks and terms are 50% deposit with order and balance due prior to shipment. Custom features can be added at cost. This compact skid mounted system is intended to fit into a relatively small space, allowing room for additional fermenters or floor space in a pub. It has been designed to make the installation as quick and easy as possible. The unit comes pre-piped so there is no "on-site" manufacturing. The pre-piping also allows for less use of hoses in the brewery, making for a much safer less cluttered work area. The system will include a "closed" grant with a sight port at one end and a hi/lo pump control. A small pump will either recirculate the wort, or pump it over to the kettle. The Main pump will act as a brewhouse cip pump, hot liquor pump, whirlpool pump, and transfer pump through the heat exchanger to the fermenters. Also included on the skid is a platform to access the manways of the kettle and the mash/lauter tun, the Control panel, which will house the temperature controls for the kettle and HL tanks, and the pump controls, a grist hydrator and hot and cold water mix station. We have chosen steam as the best heating source for the system because the steam itself is gentler on the stainless, ultimately easier to install, and offers a safer work environment. This is the perfect system for a brewpub or micro production facility. While it is designed to brew one brew a day comfortably, two brews a day can be done. Item is a new 7 bbl steam fired brewhouse. This system is configured for single temperature infusion and includes the following items: -7 bbl Mash/ Lauter tun Hot Liquor Tank combi vessel - insulated, stainless clad, #4 finish, side manway door for grain out, grant, side door for HLT, steam heated with calandria in HLT -7 bbl Brewkettle/whirlpool - steam jacketed, insulated, stainless clad, #4 finish, dual zone jackets, top manway door -Stainless sanitary heat exchanger with aeration stone and sight glass -Brewhouse platform and control panel with digital temperature controllers for brewkettle and hot liquor tank, and motor starters for pumps -Brewhouse pump, and grant pump -Brewhouse piping, valves, clamps, fittings Option - Copper bands and rivets - $1950 Optional Items Available At Additional Cost- 7 bbl Fermenters - 304 stainless steel construction, welded exterior, 2-zone jacket (cone and sidewall), insulated &mstainless steel clad, domed top / cone bottom,15 psi operating pressure, side manway, 60 degree cone bottom, thermometer, thermowell, pressure / vacuum relief valve, racking arm, sampling valve, CIP arm & sprayball, clamps, gaskets, pressure gauge, three butterfly valves, 25% free headroom, 4 legs with cross bracing supporting legs, adjustable feet.

A metallic taste in the mouth can be caused by infections
of the mouth or teeth, skin conditions that affect the mucous membranes in the
mouth such as lichen planus, or other problems, such as
Crohn's disease.
A metallic taste also
may be caused by a substance present in the mouth. Medicines that are chewed,
rather than swallowed, may cause a temporary metallic taste at the back of the
tongue. Other medicines, such as Flagyl, tetracycline, penicillamine, Biaxin,
ethambutol, biguanides, or allopurinol, can cause a metallic taste because they
get into the mouth through salivary secretions or directly from the blood.

What would you do to get an exclusive tour of Helena Christensen's apartment?
Probably not a whole lot, right? I mean you wouldn't let her cut off your arm or take your first born child. Would you?
What would you do to get an exclusive tour of Helena Christensen's apartment with Helena Christensen nude?
Why she could have all my limbs and all my children if she was nude!
Don't worry, you don't have to give up anything to see Helena Christensen semi-nude in her apartment. FutureClaw Magazine has taken care of that.
note Helena Christensen is semi-nude in these pics, might be NSFW, depending on where you work.
I don't know what they're putting in the water over in Denmark but it's working. Helena Christensen looks great for 44. Possibly better than ever? Maybe? I just have a little thing for older chicks.

James E. Burke was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Johnson & Johnson from 1976 to 1989, a company for which he worked forty years.
Burke was born on February 28 1925, in Rutland, Vermont. He earned his BA at the College of the Holy Cross in 1947 and his MBA from the Harvard Business School in 1949.
Burke is credited for the growth of Johnson & Johnson to its current size and prominence, but he is perhaps best known for his crisis management in 1982, when it was found that Tylenol capsules had been poisoned with cyanide.
According to a Fortune article, Burke's "defining moment" actually came six years earlier when he challenged his fellow executives to either recommit to the company credo or "tear it off the wall."
Penned by J&J scion and legendary chairman General Robert Wood Johnson II in the 1940s, the credo proclaimed that J&J's "first responsibility" was to its customers and then to employees, management, communities, and stockholders-in that order.
By the mid-1970s, however, Burke was troubled by a sense that the credo had lost its influence in the organization. "When I asked people what they thought of it, I got vague answers," he says. But during a series of "challenge" meetings he arranged, executives debated the credo in the context of the company's history and mission. "It became clear that our value system had been vital to our ability to outperform the competition for nearly one hundred years," Burke recalls. "Whenever we cared for the customer in a profound-and spiritual-way, profits were never a problem." The Tylenol crisis could have been a death blow to the brand and, potentially, the company itself, continues Burke. "Innocent people were killed. Industry analysts and advertising experts told us that Tylenol was finished."
As several HBS case studies point out, Tylenol was the country's best-selling over-the-counter pain reliever at the time of the poisonings, with 35 percent of the market-more than the next three brands combined. Yet within a year of the crisis, thanks to decisions by Burke and his team to recall millions of bottles and replace them in a matter of weeks with pioneering tamper-resistant packaging while keeping the media and public well informed, the product had regained 85 percent of its market share. By the mid-1980s, Tylenol had rebounded completely. The customer confidence and goodwill Johnson & Johnson had built up also enabled it to overcome another poisoning incident in 1986-an event that resulted in the replacement of capsules with caplets.
Following his retirement, he was made chairman emeritus of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA), his work for which led US president Bill Clinton to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Fortune magazine named him as one of the ten greatest CEOs of all time and he has a membership in the National Business Hall of Fame.

Nairobi — Pangani Girls maintained their unbeaten run in the Nairobi Secondary Schools girls' league by winning two of their Pool B matches and have virtually clinched a place in the semi-finals.
Regina Mwangi scored the lone goal for the former national and provincial champions against St. George's.
She now leads the goal-scoring chart with 14 goals while team-mate Naomi Kyalo has eight and another Pangani player, Laura Gichau, has scored six goals.
In the match against State House Girls, Kyalo scored a hat trick with Mwangi, Lorna Chepkwony and Rosemary Thuo adding one each for a 6-0 win.
Against Precious Blood, Mwangi scored a hat-trick while Gichau added a brace with Chepkwony and Kyalo scoring one each for 7-0 demolition.
State House and Precious Blood battled to a barren draw.
Mildred Awuor and Seruya Achieng scored one goal each for Moi Nairobi Girls who beat Kianda 2-0. Achieng scored the lone goal in the match against Kenya High while the match between State House and Buru Buru Girls was not played.
Kenya High bounced back to beat Kianda 1-0 with Stella Ngugi scoring the lone goal.
After the opening two rounds, Moi Nairobi Girls lead Pool A with 12 points from five matches, three ahead of Hillcrest Secondary, the national and Nairobi Province champions.
Kenya High have six points.
Pangani lead Pool B with 15 points from five matches. St. George's have 12, State House four and Precious Blood two.
In the boy's category, the second round starts on Saturday and Sunday at Jamhuri High School.
Hillcrest Secondary finished top of Pool A ahead of Jamhuri High, Arya and last year's provincial champions Nairobi School. Lenana won in Pool B with Moi Forces Academy, Pumwani and Starehe Boys Centre following in that order.

In a company email this morning Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has announced that Phil Spencer will now be leading the Xbox Division.
Next, I have asked Phil Spencer to take on a new role leading Xbox, combining the Xbox and Xbox Live development teams with the Microsoft Studios team. Phil will report to Terry Myerson, allowing us to keep gaming close to the group developing operating systems across devices. In this new job, Phil will lead the Xbox, Xbox Live, Xbox Music and Xbox Video teams, and Microsoft Studios. Combining all our software, gaming and content assets across the Xbox team under a single leader and aligning with the OSG team will help ensure we continue to do great work across the Xbox business, and bring more of the magic of Xbox to all form factors, including tablets, PCs and phones. Phil will continue his close partnership with Yusuf Mehdi, who leads business strategy and marketing for Xbox, George Peckham, who heads up third-party partnerships and Mike Angiulo, who will continue leading Xbox hardware. Over the years, Phil's team at Microsoft Studios has helped build a community of more than 80 million Xbox owners and 48 million Xbox Live members through blockbuster game franchises such as "Halo," "Gears of War," "Kinect Sports," "Fable," "Forza Motorsport" and many others. He's helped drive the development of brand-new entertainment offerings like the partnership with the NFL and the formation of Xbox Entertainment Studios. I love the way the Xbox team is focused on great games and gaming experiences (go, "Titanfall"!), connects with its fans, pushes the boundary of entertainment and has embraced the power of the cloud in such interesting and impactful ways. Phil is the right person to lead Xbox forward.

Great news everyone! (EDIT: Well only good news, would be great if Yusuf Mehdi was shuffled off somewhere else)
