Ah Chun's Char Kuay Teow (Kim Loong Restaurant): Best Penang Char Kuay Teow
The Ah Chun's Char Kuay Teow is the best I could find in the entire Johor Bahru. Char Kuay Teow in Penang style is everywhere in JB but to really get something good, you have to get to Perling's Kim Loong Restaurant (coffee shop actually) and order from the Ah Chun's Stall.
Is only RM3 per serving. If you love cockles, for more, you pay an additional 50 sen.
Favorite Dish: They serve Penang Hokkien Mee too. Be there early if you wanna to eat the Hokkien Mee as it runs out very fast.
Restoran Todak (Orang Asli): Restoran Todak (Orang Asli)
Restoran Todak (Orang Asli) is located in Johor Bahru near Pasir Gudang.
It is kind of a hard to find place and you have to drive thru some dark bushes at night for about 3 mins before reaching the seaside at Telok Jawa.
If you are driving there, take the Pasir Gudang Highway (near the new Jusco) and take the 1st exit and head towards Tmn Megah Ria. Look for Jalan Kota and Jln Jelatang on your map. Turn into Telok Jawa when you are at Jln Jelatang and drive among the bushes for about 3mins and you will end up by the seaside. Drive further in until you see the big car park for Restoran Todak (Orang Asli).
Restoran Todak (Orang Asli) is built on stilts. You will enjoy the sea breeze and view of Sembawang Shipyard as you dine in this crowded restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Chilli Crab
Butter Cray Fish
Fried Calamari
Gong Gong
Fried Beancurd
All for RM95

Sugar Cane & Orange Juice: Sugar Cane & Orange Juice
Have a cup of thrist quenching drink with your spicy meal.

Orange Juice cost RM3.00.
They have even larger cup of drinks. Do check the size of the drink when ordering.

Hawker.: Best Curry Puff.
In my opinion, the best curry puff in JB is from a stall outside a coffee shop in century under a big tree.
The fillings is very fragrant with pieces of chicken and a slice of egg among the fragrant potato filling. The filling is a little bit spicy, a special delicacy in Malaysia.
Imagine biting into the crispy skin with soft and warm filling inside... simply delicious and yummy...
Favorite Dish: The boss also sells other kuihs, both deep fried and steam. Nyonya kuihs are my favourites too.
Try the soon kuih and ang-ku kuih too. These are all hand made and best of all, home made.
They do catering for parties too...
- Family Travel
Aliff Restaurant: Delicious Prata !
On the way up to the other part of M'sia From J.B via Woodlands Check Point or on the way down to S'pore, stop over at this restaurant. Try the varieties of their food at a very reasonable price, What's more even the toilet is clean!
Favorite Dish: Delicious Hot Prata!

Taman Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre: Favourite among Tourists
This hawker centre is a favourite among tourists, especially Singaporean tourists. This is the place to come if you want to sample local food. There are numerous food stalls at the hawker centre. My favourite stall is the one serving Hong Kong Style Chee Jong Fun (the stall is towards the end of the hawker centre when you enter from the front). Yong Tau Foo is quite normal and is extremely epensive. Other foods include Malay-style grilled fish, squids, shell fish, etc.
New Lucky Seafood Restaurant: Ying Yang Cod Fish
Chinese dishes served. This is a typical Chinese Restaurant where you could try a number of Chinese dishes and seafood too. The restaurant has been around for a very long time. Food served is generally good. However, due to its central location, it is slightly more expensive than other Chinese restaurants.
Favorite Dish: Ying Yang Cod Fish is my favourite dish. This dish is rather special as you will get to eat a "dry" cod fish (deep-fry) and a steamed cod fish on a plate.
Chilli or black-pepper crabs are good too.
Todak Seafood Restaurant: Yummy Seafood
There are many many good seafood restaurants in Johor Bahru and one of them is definitely the Todak Seafood Restaurant. The restaurant is run by the real "bumiputras" who fish for a living. This group lives by the seaside near Taman Perling housing estate and gradually, restuarants start to mushroom in that area. There are many similar restuarants there and Todak is still the best so far.
Favorite Dish: Chilli Crab is my favourite dish there. The oysters are always very fresh. There are other more "exotic" seafood.
Secret Recipe: Chocolate Banana
If you love to eat cakes, this is the place to go. Secret Recipe, a franchise from Kuala Lumpur recently opened in Johor Bahru. It serves delicious cakes and drinks. It also serves food like chicken shop, tom yam noodles, etc.
Favorite Dish: My all-time favourite is Chocolate Banana Cake . I will always recommend it to my friends whenever I bring them to Secret Recipe!

"364 days a year the Red River is a mile wide and an inch deep. One day a year, when Oklahoma and Texas play football in Dallas, its a mile wide and a mile deep." said Bob Stephenson of NorthHaven Church in Norman as he encouraged his church to align with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
Traditionally, Baptist churches have respected state lines when they have affiliated with other Baptist churches for fellowship and the work of missions. That was before fundamentalists took over the Southern Baptist Convention and started ostracizing ministers and churches that would not toe their rigid and sterile theological line. Recently, moderate churches have begun leaving their fundamentalist controlled state conventions and crossing state lines to align with moderate state conventions. Texas and Virginia are the two Baptist state conventions that moderates are finding most attractive. Both have made constitutional changes that permit Baptists from other states to fully participate in the life of those conventions. It is part of the reconfigurations that are taking place in Baptist life since the takeover of the SBC.
NorthHaven Church is a new church start, associated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, that has grown to a solidly committed 125 members in less than eighteen months. Last Sunday, on the same day that the church voted to secure its first bank note and begin construction of its first church building, the church overwhelmingly approved a motion to align with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
NorthHaven's relationship with BGCT builds upon the partnership that the church had with BGCT's WorldConnex Mission Agency in supporting Houston and Charlotte Greenhaw's mission work in Brazil. The Greenhaws left their more than 20 year service with Southern Baptist foreign missions when the SBC's International Mission Board began terminating missionaries who refused to sign the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message statement. First Baptist Church of Norman, NorthHaven and BGCT formed a partnership to support the Greenhaw's work for another eighteen months -- until an indigenous leader was trained to continue the ministries they began.

Depends what you are wanting to display per device, if it is only images, they should be fine, video... maybe depending on resolution, rendering graphics might struggle again depending on resolution
Don't know your budget, but sticking a few half decent GPUs into 1 machine might work fine
Probably need to know exactly what centrino chips are in them.
but if they're just playing video or showing pictures, I guess it should be ok.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 23:16
Each device will display an 800x600 mp4 video in loop. No video will be over 10 seconds.
The tricky part is that one of those machines will be displaying an 1600x600 mp4 video that will split over two tv sets.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 23:22
I'm only guessing but I would say 1 device for 1 display would cope, only a guess though, possibly could cope with two, but couldn't be 100% sure
Posted 11 February 2013 - 15:06
That's what I thought. I tried to do that using an old aspire netbook with an atom chip and the video was quite slow. I still asked because many friends have told me that atoms are even slower than old Pentium 4's.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 1/14/13
Jay Glazer reports that the Chargers will interview Denver Broncos OC Mike McCoy on Monday, but adds that the Arizona Cardinals would like bring him back for second interview on Tuesday. McCoy has been a hot coaching candidate this offseason, so it makes sense that he would be presented with a number of options now that a number of coaching candidates have either signed on with a new team or decided to keep their current jobs. Cardinals president Michael Bidwell reportedly has his sights set on McCoy, so they could really ramp of their interest in the next 24 hours and try to get this deal done sooner than later. Defensive coordinator Ray Horton is also in play for the job. The post Cardinals In Serious Pursuit Of Broncos OC Mike McCoy? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

In November 2001, Australia joined the United States-led coalition to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations. There was no indication this would be Australia's longest war.
Australian Defence Force troops tasked with assisting the communities of Rockhampton, Yeppoon and Byfield in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Marcia, completed their mission on 13 March 2015.
The first group of Australian Defence Force personnel deployed on 15 April, as a military force to the international Building Partner Capacity (BPC) training mission in Iraq.
Anzac Day is one of Australia's most important national commemorative occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

A legislator continued his scrutiny Wednesday of corporate tax credits after lawmakers earlier this year rejected measures intended to put more controls on the economic incentives.
Oklahoma corporate tax credits again fall under scrutiny
"Tax credits are some of the biggest sacred cows in Oklahoma as we learned last spring," Rep. David Dank told members of a special House committee formed to review corporate tax credits and incentives. "And it is time for this committee to begin slaying some sacred cows.
"I know the lobbyists are already circling," he said. "You are going to come under a lot of pressure to just leave things as they are."
Dank, R-Oklahoma City, last year headed up an interim House of Representatives task force that met for five months and developed proposals outlawing transferable tax credits and developing criteria for tax credits to meet. All failed to advance during this year's session.
"Our task force said Oklahoma has handed out hundreds of millions of dollars every year to businesses and industries that didn't deserve them, did little to justify them and often manipulated them by such practices as selling the ones they didn't need," Dank said. "We've got tax credits on coal in the east, wind power in the west and old buildings in between. We found industries gaming the system. Our task force found that the real losers were the taxpayers who had to make up the difference."
Credit changes failed
Dank said various pieces of legislation to change the way tax credits are issued were killed in committees on bipartisan votes. For example, legislation to end the transferability of tax credits failed by a 6-3 vote in the House budget subcommittee on revenue and taxation. Five Republicans and one Democrat voted against it. Another bill in a House budget committee that would have extended the existing moratorium on tax credits failed. Seven Republicans agreed, but five Republicans and four Democrats voted no.
"The lobbyists swarmed, and many of them were former legislators from both parties," Dank said. "Sometimes bad policy is bipartisan."
Dank said having a legislative panel instead of a task force, which is made up of several members in addition to lawmakers, gives him optimism that recommendations will have better luck next year.
"We're going to have more legislators involved," he said. "The task force was fine but so many people on the task force didn't have a vote in the Legislature."
Dank's committee plans to meet three more times to review economic tax credits and incentives claimed by business entities. It will not review personal tax credits or incentives that are claimed by individuals.
Dank next year is losing a key backer of his efforts with the departure of House Speaker Kris Steele, who cannot seek re-election because of the 12-year legislative term limit. Steele supported the laws proposed by Dank's task force.
"As legislators our main charge is to responsibly manage the tax dollars that have been entrusted to our responsibility," Steele, R-Shawnee, told members of the House Tax Credit and Economic Incentive Oversight Committee. "And sadly with regard to corporate tax credits we often come up short. And in so doing I believe that we're shortchanging the entire state. Every dollar that's lost to an ineffective tax credit is a dollar that's not eligible to go to a core function of government services."

But don't let Connie's sweet smile fool you. Look deeply into her eyes and you'll get a glimpse of the pain she so courageously conceals.
I met Connie several years ago on beautiful Sunday morning at a fundraising walk in Balboa Park. We were there to raise money and awareness for an organization called Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL). Standing on the corner of 6th and Laurel, Connie and I chatted while waiting for the event to begin.
Like many of us walking that weekend, Connie had survived the loss of a loved one to suicide. In 2005, a week before Thanksgiving, Connie and her husband Rex got a phone call informing them their son, Todd, had taken his own life at the age of 25.
Todd, their only child, had been diagnosed years earlier with bi-polar disorder. They knew their son suffered bouts of depression but, says Connie, "We had no idea Todd was at high risk for suicide."
Connie and Rex have spent the last seven years turning their grief into an opportunity to help others learn more about the dangers of untreated depression. Todd's tragic death became the springboard for a grassroots organization called Community Alliance for Healthy Minds (CAHM).
Based in Rancho Bernardo, CAHM focuses primarily on mental illness in young people – partnering with scores of other organizations and resources to "change the landscape of mental health in our communities."
Fact is, the rate of suicide among teens and young people is skyrocketing. May is Mental Illness Awareness month and I urge you to join Rex, Connie and all those involved in our local mental health organizations to learn more about teen depression.
Parents – teenage depression isn't just bad moods and occasional melancholy. Depression is a serious problem that affects every aspect of a teen's life…and it manifests differently in young people than in adults.
The following symptoms of depression are more common in teenagers than in their adult counterparts:
If you know a teenager or young person dealing with the symptoms of depression…get informed and be ready to help. There are so many resources locally including CAHM cahmsd.org. I also recommend a wonderful online resource.
Reach out…before it's too late.

How about all the super supplement news that has us mega-dosing on an alphabet soup of vitamins – only to learn you can get too much of a good thing? The latest studies suggest many popular supplements may just be a waste of money.
That said, there is one bit of nutrition advice I've stuck with for more than a decade. And I'm glad I did. Health experts have long extolled the virtues of eating fish a couple of days a week in order to get omega-3 fatty acids and their important health benefits. I've done my best, but have never been an avid fan of fish. Thanks to my doctor's prompting, I've been "supplementing" my occasional salmon fillet with a regular regimen of omega-rich fish oil capsules.
The buzz over fish oil doesn't seem to be fading and for good reason. While omega-3's are most famous for heart health benefits, but they're also linked to relieving depression, attention deficit disorder, arthritis pain, asthma and Crohn's disease. They may also reduce the risk of certain cancers, dementia and the sight-robbing macular degeneration.
What's key is the oil's ability to reduce inflammation, especially in the joints, blood vessels and brain. Research continues, but experts say there's enough evidence to recommend that most of us increase our daily intake.
How much? Well, there are no federal guidelines, but the American Heart Association and Institute of Medicine recommend 1,100 milligrams for women and 1,600 milligrams for men daily. They advise the combined fatty acids DHA and EPA.
Food sources include wild salmon, tuna, trout and sardines. Walnuts and ground flaxseeds (I toss 'em into cereal or a smoothie) are an excellent source of fatty acids –called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). You'll also find ALA's in certain leafy greens and legumes.
But if you want to be sure everything's ok with your omegas, fish oil supplements are the way to go. The feds don't regulate supplements so look for known brands that are verified by independent labs such as UOP (united State Pharmacopeial Convention) for purity, potency and quality. (Tom and I both use "LJI Omega Max" from the La Jolla Institute of Comprehensive Medicine.)
And take only what's recommended. More is not better. In fact, taking too much omega fatty acid can lead to bleeding, especially if you're on a blood thinner.
Algae and Krill oil supplements are becoming an increasingly popular source of omega-3's for vegetarians. To this point, research is lacking on their health benefits. The data just isn't available – yet.
The bottom line? You won't find fatty acids on the food fad list any time soon. From fish or convenient capsules, make sure you get your omega 3's.
My friend's not alone. How do you know whether your sore throat and fatigue may be signaling a cold? Or could those sniffles and body aches the first signs of the flu? I decided to find out what the experts have to say. The good folks at the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases have some pretty good guidelines regarding the difference between cold and flu symptoms.
They use the simple acronym, FACTS to make it easy to determine whether your symptoms mean a few uncomfortable days with a cold…or an indicator of more serious case of the flu.
F—The flu typically results in fever
A—Muscle aches are more common with the flu
C—Chills are more common with the flu
T—Real "I can't get out of bed" tiredness is more associated with the flu.
S—A cold usually comes on gradually…a flu, suddenly.
According to Dr. Susan Rehm, Medical Director of the Foundation, it's important to know whether you have a cold or the flu. Rehm says, "About all we can offer for a cold is chicken soup and symptom relief medications. However, there are effective anti-viral prescriptions to treat the flu."
Rehm says when it comes to the flu, medications will get you better…faster. She recommends three approaches:
1. Know what you have to prevent it from spreading
2. Get vaccinated to prevent the spread
3. Use anti-viral medication
By the way, it's not too late to be vaccinated for the current seasonal flu. Although the flu traditionally peaks in February, it has peaked as late as April. The vaccination…easy to find at many pharmacies…takes two weeks to become effective.
Preventive measures are just good sense. Cover your mouth or nose when sneezing and stay home when you're sick. Even though we know better, Americans continue social interaction even when the have the flu.
We can do better folks. As it turns out, Susan did me (and everyone else at the restaurant we'd planned to meet for lunch!) a big favor. Her symptoms escalated quickly. Had she kept that lunch date, others could have become infected and she probably wouldn't have gotten her diagnosis quickly enough to get on an anti-viral drug.
Susan followed her doctor's advice and stayed out of circulation until a day after her fever broke. She's feeling fine and we've rescheduled our lunch date for next week. I wonder how many of us are flu-free today because of Susan's actions? Hmm. Thanks Susan. Lunch is on me!
Bill Walton is a pretty tough guy. His numerous NBA records rank him among the best in the history of professional basketball. But even a world-class athlete has his limits.
Lying face down on his kitchen floor…the only position in which the basketball great could find relief from his excruciating pain…the affable Bill Walton admitted to an newspaper reporter his searing back pain was so severe, he'd thought about ending his life. That was several years ago. Fortunately, Walton eventually received treatment that alleviated his suffering. Today, his spirit renewed, Walton flashes his million-dollar smile all over town at the many community and charitable events he supports.
If you've never experienced chronic pain, it may be difficult to understand Walton's extreme reaction. But it probably comes as no surprise to those of you who know the agony of pain that never ends. Fact is, an emotional reaction to ongoing pain is normal. Because our bodies and minds are inextricably linked, emotions and pain can also go hand in hand.
Medical professionals…understandably…focus their attention and treatments on the medical factors that cause pain. However, this focus can miss emotional issues that can increase the amount of pain a person feels.
What's needed, according to Dr. Peter Sidlauskas with Palomar Health is recognition of these emotional factors in the evaluation of a person in pain. Treatment can then be designed to treat these issues. "In doing so, says Dr. Sidlauskas, the vicious cycle of chronic pain can be recognized and broken.
The most common emotional reactions to chronic pain include:
It is very common for these feelings to actually aggravate pain. It's not your fault. It's the miserable cycle of pain causing emotional reactions, which in turn, increases the pain.
The good news? That "cycle" can be broken. The ActivCentre for Spine Care at Palomar Health offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for chronic pain that's brought relief to many, like Bill Walton, who had lost hope.
It can happen to anyone. I know. Complications from foot surgery several years ago left me in non-stop pain for months. The knife-like nerve pain wouldn't let up….robbing me of my motivation and joy. Fortunately, I got help and today my foot pain is tolerable and life is good. Don't let chronic pain take away your joy.

If your New Year's resolution is to finally and forever lose weight, I've got some encouraging news for you. You can do it. There are many effective diet plans from which to choose, but I'd like to highlight one through the eyes of my sister, Denise.
I am so proud of my "little" sis. Since last March, Denise has lost a whopping 63 pounds and she's still losing! Denise had a run of bad luck several years ago and my formerly tall, slender, beautiful sister found herself with a serious weight problem.
While recovering from multiple back surgeries, she became less active, more isolated and depressed. She turned to food for comfort. As she got bigger, she bought bigger clothes and told herself she was "hiding" her growing girth.
"I tried to lose the weight on my own, recalls Denise, "even ordering diet pills from those stupid TV commercials."
One day, late last March, Denise responded to a not-so-stupid TV commercial featuring actress Jennifer Hudson talking about her weight loss success on Weight Watchers. "When Jennifer stood proudly and proclaimed, 'I believe,'" it was like a light bulb went off," Denise told me. "I'd decided I'd had it and then I prayed for God's help."
Denise's "help" came in the form of the Weight Watchers' "Points Plus" plan. It doesn't make you eat foods you don't like or ban the ones you love. That was a game changer for Denise. "The point system really works. It's awesome! It all just 'clicked.'"
Despite a few setbacks along the way, including another back surgery, Denise stuck with the plan and with help from Weight Watchers group meetings and on-line programs; she slowly and healthfully dropped one to two pounds a week. After nine months, she looks and feels great and has made the Weight Watchers way a permanent part of her life.
"I don't need huge portions anymore," says Denise. "My husband and I now split a steak and fill the rest of our plates with "zero points" fruits and vegetables.
My now svelte and sassy sister attributes her weight loss success to God, self-determination and the weekly Weight Watchers meetings. "They kept me going," she says, "And my Weight Watchers leader, Margaret, was a constant source of encouragement, motivation and fun!"
Determined and dug in, Denise insists she's never going back. "I'm a whole new person (er, less of a person!) I feel so much better. Heck, 9 months ago I was carrying around the equivalent of 12 five-pound bags of sugar!"
My sister's story is one of many weight loss happy endings. I share it to encourage anyone struggling with a weight problem to start planning now for your happy ending. If your resolution for 2013 is to drop some weight for good…choose a healthy diet plan and get started. You can do it!
A few weight loss tips from Denise:
If you're among the millions of Americans starting the New Year in your "fat" jeans, don't despair. It may not be as bad as you think.
Despite reports to the contrary, most of us did not gain10 pounds over the holidays. In fact, according to the American Medical Association, the average American gained just a tad over one pound between Thanksgiving and the New Year. That's the good news.
Unfortunately, many of us never lose the accumulated weight. Over the years, those holiday pounds add up – resulting in expanding waistlines and an increased risk of medical problems. So if you've resolved to lose weight and get fit in 2012, good for you. If you're wondering how to do it, allow me to pass along a little advice from a doctor "friend" of mine, Dr. Dean Edell.
If you're not familiar with Dr. Edell, he was a popular syndicated radio talk show host for 30 years. I was an avid listener of Dr. Edell's call-in "ask-the-doctor" program back in the 80's and 90's. I loved the way he summarized complicated medical material in terms I could understand. When it came to controversial medical topics, I always found Dr. Edell a refreshing voice of reason.
I'll never forget his response to a caller's question regarding the best diet for losing weight. Listening on my car radio, I eagerly anticipated Dr. Edell's response. Would he point to one of the popular diet plans such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or Atkins? Perhaps he knew of a secret diet regimen…a magic bullet that would guarantee immediate weight loss.
So, what's the best diet? Amazingly, Dr. Edell said this, "Any diet you're on." He went on to explain being "on" a diet means you're aware of and control what you put in your mouth. Every diet includes calorie restriction. If you take in fewer calories, you'll lose weight. It's that simple.
So don't worry about diet plans. Just watch what you're eating. Start by eliminating "mindless" eating. Plan ahead what you're going to eat and you'll make better choices. Lean meats, omega-rich fish, whole grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables…good, "real" food! Come on, you know this! Cookies, chips, sodas and other processed food items should be special occasion foods only – or what I call, "just a taste" goodies.
Add these few, easy lifestyle "tweaks" to your game plan and you'll jump-start your way to a leaner, healthier 2012:
1. Eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast can increase your risk for obesity four-fold! Stoke your "furnace" first thing in the morning and those calories will begin to burn!
2. Get More Sleep. If you're sleep-deprived your metabolism doesn't function as efficiently. A good night's sleep also affects the hormones that control appetite. (Plus, you just feel better with enough zzzz's!)
3. Hydrate. Dehydration can often be mistaken for hunger. Try to drink two liters of liquid a day.
4. Keep Moving. Doesn't have to be anything grand. Take a walk. Take the steps. Play with the kids. Physical activity (30-60 minutes a day) is key to speeding up your metabolism and burning more calories.
5. Don't graze before bed. People who eat at night gain three and a half more pounds a year, on average, than those who don't.
So, there you have it. No magic wands. No miracle pills. For now, most weight control is still based on simple science and the wisdom of Dr. Dean Edell.
Now, go have a great healthy New Year!
A newspaper advertisement recently caught my eye….an ad for a local shopping mall. According to the tag line, that mall was a place "where all your holiday dreams come true."
Really?! Will the mall heal my sister's chronic pain? Repair my friend's broken marriage? Pay off the mortgage? Give me a trip to the Great Barrier Reef? (Never hurts to dream BIG!) Of course not! And that holiday ad is just one of countless examples of the unrealistic media messages and promises that can set us up for disappointment and pain during the holidays.
It's no wonder millions of Americans suffer from depression during the holiday season. While the holidays can be a time full of joy, cheer, parties and family gatherings - for many of us, it's a time of loneliness, family strife, reflection on past failures and anxiety about an uncertain future.
Stress, fatigue, over-commercialization, financial constraints, inability to be with family and friends (or the dread of being with other family and friends!) are just some of the factors that turn holiday bliss into the holiday "blues."
The demands of shopping, parties, family events and house-guests can cause tension that results in headaches, excessive drinking, over-eating and difficulty sleeping. It's crazy-making!
I used to love Christmas! Decorating the tree. Arranging the figures of Jesus, Mary and the shepherds in the crèche and finding just the right gifts for my family and close friends. It's the rest of the holiday madness that wore me out and stole my holiday peace and joy.
So I made some changes. I make gift-giving simple…send Christmas cards every-other-year and buy my holiday turkey already cooked at Whole Foods! I no longer decorate every corner of my home. The tree, the crèche and a wreath on the front door are sufficient. I keep shopping, parties and bounteous buffets to a minimum -and make time for exercise, sleep, church events and volunteering.
It's still tough sometimes. I get overwhelmed by all the holiday hoopla. I long for the Hallmark card family that will never be. But I take control where I can. And so can you.
If you're bothered by the "blues" as the holidays approach, here's a list of ways to cope from Mental Health America - one of the best resources I know when it comes to issues of mental health. Check it out. All your holiday dreams may not come true…but you may just be able to relax in reality and enjoy the reason for the season!
Coping With Stress and Depression During the Holidays:
Finally, if you need help, get it! I've been there. With the correct diagnosis and treatment, you CAN feel better.

Have you heard? When it comes to your health, sitting may be the new smoking! While the analogy may seem far-fetched, many scientists and medical experts are convinced prolonged sitting is bad for your health.
Perhaps we should know this intuitively. After a long road trip or plane flight, doesn't it feel good to get up and stretch? Now there's solid science that proves it's more than a feeling. A leading science and sports association recently released the results of a study that found time spent on our backsides is linked to higher rates of death and disease.
Think about it. Even if we carve out time for exercise and leisure time activities, we still sit for long stretches working at a desk, sitting in class, riding in a car, working at a computer, watching TV or playing video games. Sadly, all that fanny time may be killing us.
Long bouts on our bums can cause serious physiological responses related to chronic disease and a shortened life span. The University of Queensland found that people who stood up frequently had lower levels of C-reactive protein (a marker for blood fat). They also had smaller waistlines. And, in a crucial finding, it was the frequency of standing, not the duration, that counted.
One study found that a woman's risk of developing metabolic syndrome increased 26% for every extra hour of sitting. Long periods of sitting in an upright position can also strain your back, causing chronic pain. Blood clots are another risk of being inactive.
Standing more often throughout the day can improve circulation, muscle tone and vitality. It can also help keep blood flowing freely to your head, and that's good for keeping your brain sharp.
Bottom line … too much bottom time is bad for your health. More and more studies are coming to the same conclusion: when you sit, your body pretty much stops working. So consider spending more of your day upright:
Want more motivation? Standing for just two hours during an average workday can burn an extra 280 calories.
Folks, we have to intentionally move. Our daily activities no longer require it. So, bottoms up! Let's all get up off our duffs. (If you'll please excuse me, I have to return a phone call. I think I'll do it standing up!)
There's an easy way to get and stay healthy. Almost anyone can do it. It fits into just about any schedule. And, best of all, it can be done alone or with a friend. It's inexpensive, versatile and the health benefits are almost too numerous to count.
It's walking.
Boring, right? That's what I thought. Heck, for decades, I was a runner. I thought walking was for wimps! No more. Following a frustrating foot injury and a couple of surgeries, running was no longer an option. So I started walking – and I haven't stopped! It's a great workout, it's fun, and I'm no longer on injured reserve!
Like millions of walkers (see my interview with San Diego Mayor and walking fan Jerry Sanders in the "BE" section of my blog), I'm singing the praises of this simple, yet effective way to better health and well-being. Whatever your level of fitness, there's a way to walk that will work for you.
If you're just getting started, walking is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can ease you into a higher level of fitness and health. If you're ready for more, bump up your pace and throw in a few hills and you've got yourself a challenge.
Walking, like other exercise, can help you achieve a number of health goals:
• Lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol)
• Raise high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good" cholesterol)
• Lower your blood pressure
• Reduce risk of or manage type 2 diabetes
• Manage weight
• Improve mood
• Stay strong and fit
Walking is aerobic exercise. It can help you take off weight and keep it off. Moderate walking burns nearly 270 calories an hour. Take it up a notch and you can burn an additional 100 calories an hour. Add music and you'll be in the "zone" before you know it!
Plus, walking is fun! I never get bored 'cause I change it up. Different distance. Different venue. The beach. The bay. The lake. The neighborhood. The possibilities are endless.
Even Oprah's on board. "I've been through every diet under the sun," says the talk show queen. "And I can tell you that getting up, getting out and walking is always the first goal."
So, what's your goal? Why not lace up your shoes and take a walk – today
When my brother, sister and I decided to get together this summer, it wasn't for an exotic vacation in Europe or Hawaii. Instead, we took our spouses and children to a monumental celebration in, of all places, Davenport, Iowa! The family reunion, of sorts, was for the purpose of honoring and celebrating our dad's 85th birthday.
It was a wonderful time of porch-sitting, pork-eating and gift-giving to the father who taught us so much about life, and loving life. Bucket lists? Our dad invented them. Trekking in the Himalayas, scuba diving off Grand Cayman Island, bicycling cross-country – he's done it all. When he finishes one list, he just starts another.
But at age 70, when Dad got his cancer diagnosis, we all worried his current bucket list wouldn't be completed. It was prostate cancer. He had two choices. Surgery or an option known as "watchful waiting."
Hoping to avoid the possible side affects of prostate surgery, Dad chose the latter and 15 years later, the "waiting" continues to pay off. What a joy to watch Dad blow out the candles on his strawberry-rhubarb birthday pie – looking forward to number 86!
While men continue to make that delicate decision today, new studies are providing more clarity to make the choice a little easier.
No doubt, surgery to remove an early-stage prostate tumor does reduce the risk of metastases and death in patients compared with watchful waiting. But, here's what probably spared my Dad. According to the recent results of a New England Journal of Medicine study, the benefits of surgery apply only to men under the age of 65. Dad got his diagnosis at 70, making him a perfect candidate to watchfully wait. As it turns out, most tumors found in older men grow slowly and those men will eventually die of causes unrelated to prostate cancer.
At a recent Palomar Health "Dine With the Docs" event, prominent north county Urologist Dr. Paul Neustein explained, "with watchful waiting (also known as expectant management), doctors actively and carefully monitor the patient for signs the cancer has worsened, treating symptoms of the disease when they occur." This treatment strategy can help some patients avoid surgery to remove the prostate and related lymph nodes (radical prostatectomy) along with negative side affects including incontinence and impotence.
While researchers are encouraged, doctors warn that these recent study results should be interpreted with caution. Much more research is needed to definitively determine the benefits of watchful waiting.
I'm no doctor, but am encouraged by any option that can postpone or eliminate the need for major surgery. As for Dad? In a few months, he'll be checking in with the doctor who's been keeping a watchful eye on him for years, just to make sure nothing's changed. What's most important is the next item on his bucket list. A trip to Dubai! (I'm not kidding!) But it's really no big deal. For Dad, it's just another "trip of a lifetime!"

Not only is Sam Smith talented, but he's authentic. He is real in a world that is fake, and true to himself when many others are falling over to conform so they can make it big. I admire Sam Smith's honesty, and I respect his artistry.
When you are truly aware of what you are about, you tend to be more comfortable with allowing the world to go on without you for brief stretches. This is because knowing what you're about gives you a better sense of where you stand -- with yourself and in the world.
If you think that you're being real, but you're still finding the wrong people showing up in your life, then you need to take a moment to reassess your you-ness.
Happiness has many aspects: From quiet appreciation to living with zest and passion, it's great to explore all the various facets available to you now. Inner happiness has many entry points. Try these out and notice how good you feel.
It is essential to recognize that these family roles are not "the truth," but simply the roles we assume in our relationship to other family members. Typically, there is a sense of self that doesn't match the role, and the individual struggles to reconcile the two.
Does anyone else question authenticity the way I do these days? Does doubt about what is "real" versus "enhanced" interfere with the trust we once had in the people we admire and applaud?

Extraterrestrial Life Hoaxes
The Great Moon Hoax
New York Sun
announced that the British astronomer Sir John Herschel had discovered life on the moon by means of a new telescope "of vast dimensions and an entirely new principle." Creatures supposedly seen by Herschel included lunar bison, fire-wielding biped beavers, and winged "man-bats." The public was fascinated. It took several weeks before they realized it was all a hoax.
The War of the Worlds
On October 30, 1938, thousands of people fled in panic after hearing CBS Radio report that Martian invaders had landed in New Jersey and were marching across the country, using heat rays and poisonous gas to kill Earthlings. But as soon became clear, Martians hadn't really invaded New Jersey. What people had heard (and mistook for a real news broadcast) was a radio version of H.G. Wells's story The War of the Worlds, performed by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater.
The Maury Island Incident
Harold Dahl claimed that on June 21, 1947 he saw six "donut-shaped" discs flying above him while he was on a boat in Puget Sound. One of the discs ejected bits of molten metal, which (so Dahl said) killed his dog and burnt the arm of his son. Dahl also said that he was later visited by a man in a dark suit who warned him not to talk further about the incident. This was the first report of a "man in black". Air Force investigators identified the metal as scrap metal from a factory, and Dahl confessed that his report had been a joke that spun out of control. [
A Homemade UFO
July 11, 1947: Ten days after residents of Twin Falls, Idaho reported seeing flying saucers in the sky, a woman reported finding a flying saucer embedded in the lawn of her neighbor's home. Police came out to investigate, followed by the FBI and three army officers who flew out from Fort Douglas, Utah. What they found was a small, gold-and-silver-colored saucer about the size of a bicycle wheel. It had gouged long strips in the lawn as it landed. The army officers removed the saucer and took it to Salt Lake City for closer investigation. But the police, working on a tip, then identified the saucer as the creation of four teenage boys, who had...
The Great Monkey Hoax
Three young men reported running over a space alien on a rural Georgia highway. What made this case unusual is that the body of the alien was lying on the highway to prove their tale. The incident quickly made national headlines. But when scientists from Emory University examined the 'alien,' they determined it was actually a Capuchin monkey with its tail cut off and fur removed with depilatory cream. The boys confessed they had created it as a prank.
The Little Blue Man Hoax
In early 1958, Michigan motorists began to report sightings of a glowing "little blue man," like a spaceman from a science-fiction movie, who would appear out of nowhere on rural roads, and then just as suddenly disappear. Eventually three young men confessed that the blue man was their work. They had created a costume consisting of long underwear, gloves, combat boots, a sheet, and a football helmet with blinking lights. One of them, wearing this costume, would hide in a ditch and leap out when a motorist approached, run along the road, and then make a quick getaway by jumping into the trunk of the car driven by his two accomplices.
Alien Autopsy
British film producer Ray Santilli came forward with several canisters of film that he said showed military surgeons performing an autopsy on an extraterrestrial creature in 1947. He said he had acquired the film from a former military cameraman. Skeptics mocked Santilli's claims. Nevertheless, when the FOX network aired his film in August 1995, it received extremely high nielsen ratings, and subsequent video rentals of the film were consistently popular. But eventually (in 2006) Santilli confessed the film was fake. He had filmed the footage inside a London apartment., and the body of the alien had been created by sculptor John Humphreys.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — While Matt Ryan was on the field leading another late comeback, Robert Griffin III was hidden from view, getting treatment for a concussion that changed the game.
With RG3 out, Ryan leads Falcons past Redskins
The Atlanta Falcons are off to the best start in franchise history and are the only 5-0 team in the NFC, with Ryan blazing the trail with consecutive come-from-behind, fourth-quarter wins.
The defense is chipping in as well, knocking the Washington Redskins' No. 2 overall draft pick from the game in the third quarter Sunday in a 24-17 victory.
"This team's got a whole different attitude about going out there," Atlanta receiver Roddy White said. "And expecting to win."
A week after pulling out a two-point win over the Carolina Panthers, Ryan and the offense didn't have their usual fluid passing game — they scored just seven points through three quarters — but the early season MVP candidate cobbled together a trio of scoring drives in the fourth.
Julio Jones dexterously got both feet inbounds for an 18-yard catch just beyond the pylon. Matt Bryant stayed perfect on the year with a 53-yard field goal. Michael Turner ran 13 yards for the go-ahead score with 2:46 to play. The defense gave up a long touchdown pass by Griffin's replacement, Kirk Cousins, but redeemed itself by intercepting the fourth-round draft pick twice in the final two minutes.
But the play of the game was made by Sean Weatherspoon, who made the hit that took Griffin out. Scrambling on third-and-goal, Griffin fell forward near the sideline. His helmet slammed into Weatherspoon's upper body, an undisputed clean hit.
"It felt like a good play," Weatherspoon said. "I think it gave us a little energy."
Once he got to the sideline, Griffin didn't know the score or the quarter, according to coach Mike Shanahan. Team spokesman Tony Wyllie said the Heisman Trophy winner was examined by an independent neurologist before being sent home and will be evaluated again Monday. Griffin also got a cut on his chin.
"I'm ok and I think after all the testing I will play next week," Griffin tweeted about three hours after the game.
It was an ironic wound for the Redskins (2-3), losers of eight straight home games. There had been abundant concern that Griffin was susceptible to injury when he was taking hard hits while running option plays frequently in his first three games.

Subdivision will break ground
Ingleside leaders approve plan after hearing
Ground-breaking for an estimated $870 million redevelopment project in Ingleside is tentatively scheduled for the end of the year, developers said.
Council members on Tuesday held their last public hearing to discuss the matter, and with no opposing voices in attendance, the council voted to move forward with its plan to bring a subdivision of upscale homes and condos with a town center, golf course and marina.
Plans for the 10-year project, Live Oak Preserve, include 2,360 homes and condos, a 50-room boutique inn and spa, a 46-acre town center, about 134,000 square feet of commercial space and an 18-hole golf course and club house.
Corpus Development L.P., headed by former Ingleside resident Leon Heron, plans to develop about 1,300 acres south of Live Oak Park, next to Naval Station Ingleside, expected to close in 2010.
In late July, Ingleside and San Patricio County agreed to a property tax incentive for the project, including a reinvestment zone, which ensures that 65 percent of the tax money generated by the developer inside the zone is spent inside the zone.
The resolution approved by San Patricio County in July, supporting the new reinvestment zone, would direct the 65 percent of the county's tax revenue from what is built on the land in that zone toward infrastructure inside the zone for 30 years.
The project could boost the local economy by drawing in an additional 5,000 to 10, 000 residents, San Patricio County Judge Terry Simpson has said.
"This new development provides the city with an opportunity it has not worked with in the past, and I'm excited to see it moving forward," said City Manager Jim Gray.

Obamacare good for capitalism
Without a single shred of substantiated evidence, Obamacare has been chastised by right-wingers who hate President Obama and want to take down one of his most important accomplishments.
Time to bind up our wounds
OK, the election is over. We know clearly who won. Now what?
Merit citizenship: VOTE!
Get out and vote! No photo I.D. is required. If you need a kick in the pants, here is why you should vote:
Burke FINALLY gets accurate media
Well, it took awhile, but I see the so-called mainstream media finally got the story correct regarding the charge that Mary Burke was fired by Trek. She was not! And when such a story comes out days before the election, offered by a fired Trek employee, it does not take a mental genius to realize it is a scam and a lie. But for some reason it became the lead story in much of mainstream media in Wisconsin. Disgusting.
Burke wasn't fired, but Walker should be
Imagine, the media runs with a headline story about Mary Burke being fired at Trek, even when the charge about her was leveled by two staunch Republican supporters. And they were actually released from Trek for unsatisfactory work themselves. Has professionalism totally left the media? Does anyone in the media have any ethics or professional morals? And for these distortions to suddenly be released a few days before the election! Have the Koch brothers also bought out the media's credentials?

Environment: Content from Across the ABC

The so called "carbon tax" is failing, as illustrated by this article, because it was designed to fail. It was designed to pretend that we are "doing something" while digging up as much coal as capacity constraints allow. While everyone gets involved in circular arguments over how these complex schemes are imagined to operate, the simplest way of constraining fossil carbon is ignored. That is, just constrain it, at the source.
No carbon is extracted from the ground without the permission of governments. If politicians really want to reduce CO_2 emissions, all they have to do is reduce the amount of fossil carbon extracted by withdrawing permission to extract it. The cheapest way to do this would be to auction permits for fossil carbon extraction, and reduce the total each year. The cost of the permits would rise until alternatives (solar, energy efficiency, etc.) filled the gaps, all determined by market forces. It would then be irrelevant whether brown coal is mined or not. If the target for total CO_2 emissions is being met, it doesn't matter who is burning what and where.

North Carolina Senior
40: 4.90 (estimated)
Has very good strength, athleticism, range, and quickness. Shows ability to drop off into coverage. Does a nice job working down the line laterally and making plays in pursuit. Has a nice swim move to get upfield. Has closing burst on the ball. Shows ability to shed the block, and fill hole to make stop at the point of attack.
Inconsistent and rarely dominant despite his physical gifts. Needs to develop more technique. Struggles to disengage from blockers. Struggles against double teams and can get engulfed vs. the run. Needs to play with more recognition and can be slow off the snap. Tends to overly rely on natural gifts. Has had past issues where his conditioning and perhaps work ethic could be questioned.
Austin has potential to be a dominant defender, but he mostly looks the part rather than actually playing up to his potential. Character concerns abound about him due to his being suspended by the NCAA for the entire year for some tweets he made about off-season parties. He was the one that opened the can of worms that got the NCAA to clamp down on UNC this past year. He's a more natural nose tackle than 3-technique because his quickness isn't always on display. He showed improvement from sophomore year to junior season, but never quite lived up to the billling. Hype started as a freshman, where he had 26 tackles, 6 for loss, and 4 sacks mostly as a reserve. But his production dipped as a sophomore starter with 38 tackles, 1.5 for loss, 1 sack, and 1 interception. Things picked back up as a junior with 42 tackles, 6 for loss, and 4 sacks.
Austin has loads of potential, and it would not be surprising if at some point in the future he is considered one of the premier defensive tackles in the league. His sort of size and athleticism reminds me of a player like Kris Jenkins. But unlike Jenkins, I don't expect Austin to come in right away and be an impact defender by his second season. Austin has the potential to fit in any defensive scheme. At this point, he would probably work best as a nose tackle in a 4-3 scheme, but also has the long-term potential to be a potent option in a 3-4 scheme, much like Jenkins has become for the Jets. The main concern with Austin is whether his lack of ideal production is really due to conditioning and/or work ethic issues. He's really a boom/bust prospect that I think could be an elite defensive tackle 5 years from now, or could be much like ex-Tarheel Ryan Sims who entered the league with a ton of expectations as well.
Austin could work in Atlanta if he is committed to getting better. He would start off as a rotational player and his talent is such that he should get immediate playing time, and probably beat out Vance Walker for the No. 4 defensive tackle position because of his upside. He has the potential to be able to play multiple techniques like the Falcons prefer. He has the upside to be a very good starter for the Falcons, the concern is whether he is going to put in the work that less talented guys like Jerry and Peters would, since no one has ever questioned their motors. If he develops, he could be a nice 5-sack guy that can create mismatches inside and free up teammates. Or he could be a guy that three years from now washes out of Atlanta much like Chad Lavalais, because the team just gets tired of his conditioning, slow development, and lack of work ethic.
Austin has first round potential and has the talent a team looks for in a Top 15 pick. But because of the character issues, he probably should go off the board in the early part of the second round where he is a much better value.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 4.0
Point of Attack: 3.0
Quickness: 3.0
Pass Rush: 2.5
Motor: 2.0

NEWARK, NJ - JANUARY 31: Anze Kopitar #11 of the Los Angeles Kings skates against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on January 31, 2010 in Newark, New Jersey. The Kings defeated the Devils 3-2. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The first name from the Kings on the verge of an agreement with a European hockey team during the NHL lockout is a big one. It's Anze Kopitar. The Kings' star center will be playing for Mora IK of the Swedish league, said his agent, Pat Brisson of Creative Artists Agency, on Monday afternoon. What made Mora so attractive to Kopitar was that his younger brother Gasper is playing for the team. Mora is competing in the second-highest division in Sweden. Kopitar, who in June helped lead the Kings to their first Stanley Cup championship, was in demand, having received interest from the Swiss National League. The agreement to play in Sweden came together, officially, two days after the NHL locked out its players. Additionally, he can sign with Mora just for the duration of the lockout because it plays in a second-tier league, The Times' Helene Elliott reported. The other attractive aspect about Sweden is that Kopitar has played there previously. He left his native Slovenia for Sweden...

continued from Top Five Celebrity Tweets…
4. Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian)
Over 3 million followers track this celebrity Superwoman. Her twitter page describes her as THE "businesswoman, exec producer, fashion designer, perfumista"of the decade's every move. This is a woman who buys the best of everything from fashion to jewelry. Have you noticed that she likes silver rings and bracelets studded with diamonds. If you would like to get a similar look, but can't afford real diamonds, consider substituting cubic zirconia gemstones instead of diamonds. I was recently online searching for sterling silver rings with a lot of glitz, but at prices I could afford. I hit the jackpot at a website called Sterling Forever. Their stunning collection of silver rings consists of high quality, genuine .925 sterling silver with dazzling cubic zirconia. And you can also buy coordinating necklaces and bracelets. The glittery cubic zirconia gemstone is the best alternative for a real diamond. Just like real diamonds, cubic zirconia radiates timeless beauty, versatility, glitzy fashion, and / or stylish elegance. Hey, so what you can't afford Kim Kardashia's high living lifestyle, you can look just as shamelessly flashy as the lady herself!
Always on the go, Kim is well known for…wait,…did she just refer to herself as a perfumista? What the hell is a perfumista? Perfume peddlers now get their own moniker? Now that Jennifer Aniston has decided to release her own line of fragrances, is the world's most beloved friend now considered a perfumista as well? I trust that we'll see her IMdb list of credits updated soon.
How about Alan Cumming? Does he qualify as a perfumista or a super hero? Never mind – no need to answer that. Opps, I just realized the question might be a tad rhetorical. Alan Cumming has been a lot of things, but perfumista is not one of them. It was rumored once that he was a janitor, the superhero of janitors. Probably because he was not just a janitor, he was also the manager of all of the cleaning staff of a major hotel chain (shhh we aren't allowed to say which one). He was said to be great at his job- he always kept the break room stocked with Starbucks coffee, and the closet with all of each floor's janitorial supplies was always in tip top shape. Each floor was organized by functional usage floor and up- meaning the vacuum attachments, floor scrub and mops were on the bottom of the closet and the surface cleaners and air freshener were towards the top. Someone also said he knew his laundry detergents like no one else, and could tell which brand you were using just by smelling it. Let's just just send him, Kim, and Jennifer some elegant gift baskets filled with champagne, chocolates, and perfume. Perhaps their gift baskets can be personalized with their names engraved on the wine bottles. While we are at it, let's add two monogrammed toasting flutes, a monogrammed VIP silver wine opener, and for at least Kim a monogrammed silver baby rattle!
Seriously, though, when do we stop making up / adding words to Websters? Can we rewind a bit, and pull the plug a few new words ago – like maybe at "fashionista" or something – so that we never have to hear the term "perfumista" again?
Damn you to hell, Ms. Kardashian, you and your evil ways.
5. Perez Hilton (@perezhilton)
Not to be confused with Paris Hilton, though they've been known to swap clothes once in a while to pull a "Princess and the Pauper" ruse and confuse unsuspecting rubes for kicks. Rumor has it that Perez, not Paris, was the official stand-in during her stint in prison. While Paris continued to party like it was 1999, Perez had to deal with stale bologna sandwiches on a daily basis, catfighting and excessive bitch-slapping, all while deflecting unwanted advances from a gaggle of horny, hardened honeys. From what I hear, those female wardens were none too pleased when they discovered what "Paris" was packin' underneath that orange jumpsuit.
That "Princess and the Pauper" thing ain't so funny now, is it Perez?
Is Perez displeased that he's #5 on the list? Not at all, according to his cheerfully-upbeat PR team, "He's #1 in the blogger category!", failing to mention altogether that he still wakes up screaming at night, his body bathed in a cold sweat, hugging himself tightly whilst hot tears stream down his cheeks. Hate to say "I told you so", but impersonating Paris was bound to come to a bad end.
Hang in there, Perez, you'll get through it. Your legions of blog and twitter fans are all rootin' for you. You go, girl.
Perfumista, I mean please…
