Day 7
... shave on the swim platform, and dinner in the cockpit. Beautiful night sitting under the stars listening to music. We pull up anchor at 10:00 PM and set sail for Antigua. With favorable winds it will be about a 10 hour sail. I have first watch from 10 to midnight. It should be a relatively calm sail compared to previous sails with a beautiful clear sky filled with ...
Guadeloupe - Isle De la Petite Terre
We left the hustle and bustle of Pointe A Pitre and sailed east to St. Franscois. We stayed in St. Franscois for only one night and worked our way to Petite Terre. We are so grateful we did because it was just fantastic! There are two uninhabitated green islands surrounded by reef. The area is a procted national park so there is no fishing or taking of any kind. We took a mooring ball since anchoring is not allowed. Our spot was twenty ...
Guadeloupe - Iles Des Saintes and Pointe A Pitre
... to the aquarium. We spent the afternoon learning about the local sea creatures and their habitats. The next day we rented a car with Del Max and went adventuring inland. We drove to the Chutes Du Carbet in the Basse Terre territory. The Chutes Du Carbet are two 350 foot waterfalls and is famous for luring Christopher Columbus from the Carribbean sea to the island. Mr. Columbus was in search of fresh water when he saw the waterfall from a distance. On our way out the ...
Paradise Within Paradise
... for this second night. Nice spot indeed. The rain for me so I had to abandoned my second cliff spot for the beach hut. No one bothered me except a weird turtle eggs eater lady, cultural stuff they say...
2 beautiful days resourcing myself on my own, 2 nights into the wild, all in small virgin islands. Nice retreat!
Everything was perfect, I was ready to come back, spend a last weekend with my new family and sail off the island at last, well deserved....
France Away From France #2
... they could drop me. The captain was a typical French sailor, a bit rough, a bit hard to get on with but well, I kept coming back to say hello to show them I was really keen. Days passed and muster was nicer to me, and finally agreed to take me onboard, the plan was to go in a few days. Sweet! Is dream plan coming true?

Applytes are quite "special", though.
I used to have an Apple, but it fell in the shitter. I used to feel special. Nowadays I'm just another applostate with an Android phone ... and loving it!
Samsung make fridges like many other people, make TVs like many others, make everything like many others - even phones. There is nothing special about their stuff - it's ok but functional and you buy a Samsung today and you may but a Samsung whatever next time but no real compelling reason.
They are happy selling a box today and banking the cash but it's not really long term - they sell an Android phone and pass you on to Google for future revenue.
According to the recent article here Samsung started "in 1938 as a company selling dried fish and vegetables, and moved into electronics in the late 1960s". OK, maybe the dried fish and vegetables were only "functional" and there was no real compelling reason to buy Samsung dried fish and vegetables the next time.
But consider that they're now one of the top companies in Korea (if not the top, judging by the fact that their top man is the richest guy in the country). Do you really think that the sort of business minds that brought the company from such lowly beginnings doesn't have long-term aspirations? Do you really think that they don't care about, eg, their Galaxy range, and that they'll happily "pass you on to Google for future revenue"?
Could you imagine Bill Gates or Steve Jobs having that attitude? Is it even conceivable that Samsung won't do all it can to keep and expand its customer base?
Finally, one non-rhetorical question: is it possible that Apple pays people to pollute discussions like this with drivel like yours? Absolutely.
Ditto. If only they could have fitted "squabbling" in there too (to go with squillionaire) it would have been perfect.
Well that's just fines.
Sorry to reply to my own post, but it just occurred to me that they try for a charge of "contributory infringement" if they can prove that the user was uploading to a torrent swarm as well as downloading. In regularl language I suppose that means that the torrent user is helping other torrent users to copy something illicitly. Makes a lot more sense than the argument I've seen with some cases that each pirated copy is responsible for some crazy number of lost sales due to the uploading part. I could never get my head around how they could even claim that with a straight face. Mathematically, ff that were true, we'd have an infinite number of illicit copies for every one that was paid for.
I still don't get how two songs can generate three strikes, though.
poor taste in music ... just about anything by The Beastie Boys?
Hrrrmph! I resemble that insinuation! You should listen to "The In Sound from Way Out." You might be pleasantly surprised.
Hmm... it still doesn't compute. Aren't the warnings of the "cease and desist" variety? If so, how can she have received three warnings for downloading two songs? Did she like one of them so much she tried to download it again even in the face of the first two warning letter?
Also, on a different point, even if the RIAA (or equivalent) had rootkits on everyone's computers, would it even be possible for them to make the argument of uploading stick? I mean, technically, yes, anyone who's connected to a torrent will upload to some degree, but aren't most users (ie not the long-term seeders) just in it to download stuff? I really don't know how this separate uploading argument is supposed to work if regular users are just helping other torrent users to download.
If you had 50 marbles, numbered 1 to 50, there would be a 10% chance of selecting a specific desired number with any 5 random selections from a set of 50. So 43% is only four times better than random guessing. Does the software know what the valid 50 numbers are, and pick the closest match? If so, the results are not impressive.
Whoa there... the number 50 is the size of their test sample, and nothing to do with the number of possible PINs, so your probability calculation is meaningless. In other words, their program is being asked to guess what the PIN is, and not "guess which one of these 50 known patterns/PINS" we've given you".
The way you should look at it is that each random PIN guess (having no accelerometer hints) would be right 1/10,000 of the time (ie, 0.0001). If they can guess the PIN 43% of the time with 5 guesses, then their success rate per guess is 0.43 / 5 or 0.086. So in fact their ability to guess a PIN is actually 0.086 / 0.0001 = 860 times better than chance, not four times better!
To be fair, I tend to refer any large secretive insular company as a Zibatsu.....
Maybe you should switch to calling them "zaibatsu". Just a suggestion...
What exactly is the need for this? You know one of the Japanese words for foreigner ... "offensive" foreign word..
Pah. "Gaijin" is only offensive if it's used in a way that's meant to be offensive. That hardly applies here. I couldn't care less if someone calls me a 外人 or a 外国人. Or a Paddy or Mick, for that matter. You should save your ire for someone who's being deliberately offensive to you.
So I'm not so hopeful that it'll all fit in memory...
There's been a trend in research systems at least towards looking at using RAM to store index information while delegating actual data storage to (flash) disks. FAWN-DS (Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes Data Store), for example, reduces the amount of RAM used by each index entry to 6 bytes, while SILT (Small Index, Large Table) achieves even more compression of those index data (somewhere between 1.5--2.5 bytes per index entry, iirc). It also helps that these systems are designed from the ground up to work well with flash storage and avoid the write amplification problem (where a single write requires several physical writes due to the need to rewrite entire memory blocks when a single page changes). I'm not sure how many of these design features are implemented in today's commercial-grade systems (like hadoop's file system) but I'd wager that there are more similarities than differences.
If you add to this the fact that clustering your storage nodes is relatively easy using consistent hashing (or a DHT) to spread the storage across many nodes/controllers each with their own RAM and local storage, then I think that such a future is actually quite practical today. A lot more practical than you think.
"You can tell everybody to get out of their trucks (TCP) and get on motorbikes (the new thing) congestion isn't as bad, no need for the traffic lights at every junction, and no expensive lanes being added."
Or you can have everyone get out of their car/truck/bike and move forward one vehicle. Hows about that? Guaranteed progress even in the face of deadlock....
I think other posters have already covered that the paper's authors are only claiming improvements over high-latency links (and fairly lossy ones at that). The fundamental problem with TCP over such links is that each TCP packet needs to be acknowledged so (having a sliding window for acks notwithstanding) transmission speed is fundamentally limited by how fast and reliably the acks can be sent back.
Some guys at Microsoft tested out another scheme for improving transfer speeds over high-latency links (though they assumed low packet loss) a few years ago. It worked by the receiver sending ACKs to some number of packets it hadn't actually received yet, thus fooling TCP's flow control mechanism into avoiding its normal exponential backoff algorithm. That trick obviously only works over reliable data links with very little packet loss. I don't have a link to that paper, but ISTR that it was covered here on The Register. No doubt it also got its share of comments along the lines that you're making here (ie, >100% efficiency).
With UDP you can just keep sending data. Provided the far end sends back relevant acknowledgments you might be able to get away with only a few re-sends.
Alternatively, you can use forward error correction to eliminate the need for a lot of "back traffic" (or "packets traveling in the wrong direction which often hamper UDP communications" as the article states). Have a look at the udpcast project for an example of that. It's designed for multicast, where the problem with ack storms is much more severe, but it seems that with a little tuning it should be also be pretty efficient to use it for point-to-point transmissions too. There are also, IIRC, a couple of competing RFCs for implementing reliable delivery over UDP channels, and they include flow control algorithms as a means of congestion avoidance (similar to what's described in the article).
I think the most interesting thing about this paper seems to be how they convert everything to use their new UDP protocols. It seems like a good approach given that it's much simpler to implement congestion avoidance and flow control if everything is based on the same underlying transmission protocol. It does sound a bit drastic, though.

I think you might want hawks for that. Providing the cats don't kill them.

Shouldn't this SIMD thing just work by now instead needing lots of twiddling?
It's not just SIMD. Although the article doesn't state it explicitly, each of the cores models a small area of space and it has to communicate various outputs to neighbouring small areas of space. The clue is in the line The waves propagating throughout the simulation require a carefully orchestrated balance between computation, memory and communication. Amdahl's Law puts a brake on how well any real-world computation like this will scale up when run on a parallel (or SIMD) architecture due to the need for components to interconnect and transfer data between each other (such as propagating global force/pressure vectors after each local computation per simulation time quantum) . In this case, I'm sure a lot of their time spent "ironing out the wrinkles" was trying to get those inter-core messaging parts of the simulation humming. But there are other potential bottlenecks too that need to be looked at to prevent stalls/starvation too (ie, "computation, memory and communication" above). There's definitely not just a single "point and shoot" solution to parallel programming.
Thanks, Daniel B. It's nice to have that validated, even down to my guess that private and public keys don't store the same data . The downvotes I got are unimportant compared to that. Now if Lee Dowling had said that p and q were stored with the private key then I'd happily have conceded the point to him. Maybe he knew that and it's what he was trying to get at, but it's not what came across. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say we're all right. Except the downvoters. You still suck.
No, they are not equivalent. Maths modulo high primes is the entire security BECAUSE it's not a mechanism that you can just reverse like that, and the private key is not "just a prime".
In general, the private key contains both the public key and some other large prime, whereas the public key is only a large prime (to get a simple analogy). The public key is actually derivable from the private key (that's how you MAKE a public key!) but NOT vice-versa (or PKE encryption would be useless). The private key contains extra, private information that should not be revealed and is not in any way derivable from the public key within a reasonable length of time.
OK, so I just happened to have Schneier's Applied Cryptography (2nd edition) on my desk as I read your post. I looked it up and confirmed that what I said earlier is correct. On page 467 it covers generating the public and private keys (which are multiplicative inverses of each other mod (p-1)(q-1)). Then it talks about encrypting and decrypting and finishes by saying "The message could just as easily have been encrypted with d and decrypted with e; the choice is arbitrary". That's exactly (and only) what I said in my post. I think you may need to brush up on how RSA encryption works. In particular, you can't derive either the public key from the private key, or vice-versa. Not without knowing the factorisation of pq, anyway. Nor does the private key contain "extra, private information".
Compound encryption schemes (involving RSA and something else) are a different matter, as you pointed out. But then, I never actually claimed that you could swap keys there and still have everything work.
isn't ((m ** private) ** public) mod pq = ((m ** public) ** private) mod pq? Maybe some of these users at least have just decided to swap public and private keys for each other? Maybe it's their secret "twist"...
OK, I'm not really serious. Most likely ssh (or pgp or whatever you use to generate keys and do the crypto) stores public keys in a different format to the private key so they're not interchangeable. But at least with the underlying RSA bit, calling one key public and the other private is just a matter of which one you actually reveal...
Will they now use some of their record profits to give the workers better conditions and rates of pay and stamp out child labour?
They're turning kids into slaves Just to make cheaper sneakers But what's the real cost? 'Cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper
Why are we still paying so much for sneakers ? When you got them made by little slaves kids What are your overheads?
(Think about it)
I said to myself, "self, you should really buy some Samsung shares."
Unfortunately, even though I talk to myself (quite a bit), I rarely listen to what I have to say.
I have it on good authority that it came up with "BOOBIES"
those extra horizontal pixels rarely go to waste.
I like widescreen too, for the reasons already pointed out. I still find myself wishing for more vertical resolution too, though. Tabbed browsing in the webotron and gnome-terminal (and virtual desktops if you want to count that) already make great use out of screen real estate, but it would be nice to be able to see more lines of code in emacs or Eclipse or the like. Come to think of it, I guess there's always Ctl-x 3 in emacs if I want to look at a buffer in 2-up mode, providing I don't mind scrolling manually in each window. I must remember to try that next time.
Yup... definitely in that camp myself

That "crisis" is just another word for "opportunity". If the problem is really that bad, I'm sure the book vendors will start a new "100 books to read before you die" campaign.
Except he left out the bits about going to the bottom of the sea for bunk-beds. And the hooker. Can't forget the hooker. Almost as vital as ECT.
Hmm... you seem to have forgotten "and I think I like it"
Though judging by your last line, perhaps not.
Just break the encrypted files down into small enough chunks and you'll find dupes
If it were that easy, you could just break it down into 1-bit chunks. But that obviously requires a bigger index than the original file collection. (Q.E.D. by Reductio ad Absurdum). Random data (such as the output of a good encryption algorithm) by definition are not compressible.
It doesn't seem likely, does it? There's one type of encryption (homomorphic encryption) that in theory could work, but in practice it won't. I won't bore you with details of that.
The solution I would use would be to set up the front-end of the storage system to use an all-or-nothing transform (AONT) on the files, break them up into blocks and then distribute those blocks in a random order, with a single encrypted "key" being the locations and order of those blocks. So long as nobody can break into the fronted computer (or instruct it to divulge how to reconstruct a given file) then the storage is secure. Since the AONT should produce the same blocks for the same input file, you can do block-level dedup on the actual storage servers. I'd then encrypt the access key, add some validation info and send it back to the user before deleting it.
Of course, in this scheme, you (as a user) can't trust the server not to keep the access key or to make a copy before it's encrypted, and so on.
Gah! Enough with the downvotes. I get it. I know, it's something I'll have to take up with my the- rapist.
They really called those things rapey-scans? (that's how I'd pronounce it, anyhow).
It can't win and it can't break even. Unfortunately, neither can it break out of the game.
I got an Odroid-x and the hidden Fedex charges put it to > £120.
Similar story for my X2, but I did what the hardkernel website suggested and called my local customs office before placing the order. They told me about the extra "customs clearance" charge that Fedex adds in. I guess that hardkernel could have done a better job on pointing out the surcharge that Fedex puts on it, but I can't fault them on their advice on contacting customs. I still went ahead with the order once I knew about the extra costs. Well worth it, I reckon.
As for Atom vs ARM systems, I actually did a bit of window shopping before ordering the X2. To be honest I couldn't actually find any Atom systems that were as good or as cheap. The one thing that the bare-bones Atom systems did have going for them was standard (mini) ATX and SATA ports for upgradability. They're still quite expensive compared to the ARM boards. Also, buying a cheap 2nd hand system was out for me because I was looking for something with low power usage and you don't get that with older Intel/AMD/Atom stuff.
I guess that in the next year we'll start seeing more ARM SoC with SATA, USB 3 and gigabit ethernet since there's definitely a market for it. Until then I can definitely live with flash/USB2 and 100Mbit ethernet.
An mk808 is less than half the price, runs a newer version of android and is WAY more powerful.
I'd never heard of it, but the link you gave puts the mk808 at $58.99, which isn't "less than half the price" of either the Rock ($79) or Paper ($99).
Now the ODROID-U2, on the other hand, costs $89 (*), has quad core clockable to 2GHz (base 1.7GHz) and 2Gb of RAM. Also runs Jelly Bean and Linaro Ubuntu (no accelerated X yet, though it's expected in a few weeks). Its sibling product, the ODROID-X2 is very similar, except that it costs $135 and has a whole lot more ports.
(*) as with a lot of these boards, power supply, cabling, flash drive and shipping aren't included. A full U2 ends up costing about $150 (including a hefty $40 shipping fee from Korea), plus local customs clearance and VAT which brings it to something closer to $190. Definitely pricey compared to a Pi (which comes to around €72 all told), but the U2/X2 are are at least 12 times more powerful in my tests (thanks to 4x cores, 2x speed, step up from ARMv6 to ARMv7). So while the Pi definitely wins out on price/system, the ODROIDs definitely win out on performance/price IMO.
Aww, I'm sure they are to other crabs!
Well it's not crabs as such, but this Southpark episode is hilarious. The "The Thing" thing they did cracked me up.
I think the word you were looking for is 'depilation'.
The way I misread that ("delepidoteration"), I thought he was talking about getting rid of butterflies.
Although I don't have any direct experience with this, it seems that a lot of databases aren't well suited to using flash storage due to them not being optimised for that medium. The problem lies in the way that inserts and updates often have to make several updates on the on-disk indexes (B-trees or whatever) and each random write requires a read-blank-rewrite cycle on an entire disk block. Reads from the database, on the other hand, is something that does suit flash well since seeks are effectively free.
I don't have a link to any recent papers to hand, but if you search for "log structured database flash" you should turn up a few. The main advantage of log-structured databases is that inserts and updates only have to write once to the disk (with periodic rewrites for garbage collection to coalesce partially empty blocks). Thus you get very good write speed and since you're not going through as many of the read-blank-rewrite cycles that are typical of B-tree style indexes you should be able to extend the life of the disk by three times or more. Have a search for Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes (FAWN), too. It's slightly old, but it gives a good demonstration of the kind of speedups that log-structured databases + flash storage can achieve.
If he's normally researching lead, what qualifies him to talk about carbon?

re: Ah. Passers by asking people stupid questions of people who are taking pictures in the street.
I disagree... I actually got quite a warm feeling on reading that part of the article. Nice to see that a passer-by would take the time to see if he was OK. And lets face it, taking photos by spinning around probably does look a bit crazy if you don't know what's going on.

Parmesan Crepes
|All purpose flour
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs)
|Grated parmesan cheese
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Skim milk
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs)
|1 Tablespoon, melted
|Vegetable cooking spray
Combine flour and cheese in a medium bowl.
Combine milk, margarine, and egg, stirring well; add to flour mixture, stirring with a wire whisk until almost smooth.
Cover batter, and chill 1 hour.
Coat an 8-inch crepe pan or nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat until hot.
Remove pan from heat, and pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin film.
Cook about 1 minute.
Carefully lift edge of crepe with spatula to test for doneness.
The crepe is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from pan and the underside is lightly browned.
Turn crepe over, and cook 30 seconds on other side.
Place crepe on a towel, and allow to cool.
Repeat procedure until all of the batter is used.
Stack crapes between single layers of wax paper or paper towels to prevent sticking.

Fruit and veg shop gets vital equipment after heart shock
Posted: September 06, 2012|
A LIFESAVING piece of equipment has been presented to a Penzance shop.
The £1,000 public access heart defibrillator (PAD) was handed to Thornes Fruit and Veg by the Ronnie Richards Memorial Charity.
The organisation has been working since 2011 to make the machines more accessible to the public, providing a vital service and helping to save the lives of those struck down by a cardiac arrest.
"There are now five defibrillators in strategic places in Penzance," said Paul Williams, secretary of the charity. "The idea is to get this equipment out there as quick as we can."
Thornes knows first-hand how important this machine can be after a customer suffered a cardiac arrest in the store last year.
"He was very fortunate because there was a doctor in the queue at the time," said Sue Hendy, owner of Thornes.
"He was very, very poorly and they worked on him for a long time but he made it through."
The charity was set up after Ronnie Richards died from a cardiac arrest while playing football in Penzance in 2008.
Other Causewayhead traders also celebrated the new medical addition to the street helping to fight a condition which is believed to kill 250 people a day in the UK.
Mr Williams said following the collapse in Thornes a PAD was rushed up from the Wharfside Shopping Centre but with a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) every second counts.
"Within that small amount of time, it could be fatal," he said, explaining that SCA is different to a heart attack because there is an unexpected failure in the heart's ability to effectively pump blood to the brain and around the body.
"The SCA victim collapses, losing their pulse, consciousness and the ability to breathe," he said adding that "it is usually caused by life-threatening arrhythmias, abnormalities in the heart's electrical system.
"All of this happens quickly and without treatment the victim will be dead within a few minutes."
If you think your location could benefit from a PAD, contact Mr Williams at email@example.com or 01736 360864. If you would like to make a donation for a PAD for your area, visit www.rrmc.webs.com.

Forcing v-sync in control panel
Normally i force v-sync off in the control panel but i was having horrible performance in Crysis and Far Cry 2 but in no other games. So, i tried "use the 3d application setting" in the cp and performance were back to normal when setting v-sync off ingame instead.
Is it just me or is it common knowlege that these two games care where you force v-sync off?
Re: Forcing v-sync in control panel
What card do u gots?
(Im guessings a 295.) ;)
Re: Forcing v-sync in control panel
His signature says he has a 285.
Re: Forcing v-sync in control panel
285 it is. But how is everyone suddenly suppose to know that forcing v-sync in the control panel can affect performance greatly in some games?
It should come with a big red sticker on the box!

Downtown McMinnville
Oregon's Favorite Main Street
Downtown McMinnville has been the heartbeat of Yamhill County since before it was incorporated in 1876.
The McMinnville of today is rich in history and small town charm, while providing amenities typically only associated with much larger cities.
The latter can be attributed in great part to the wealth of wineries in the area. Great wine naturally deserves excellent food,
which leads to a need for wonderful and varied overnight accommodations, and, of course, for superior coffee and breakfast in the morning.
Quaint boutiques, unique shops, and local galleries abound. Music fills the air from our farmers' market performers and outdoor concerts all summer long, and pours out of our restaurants and pubs on winter evenings.
Welcome to Oregon's favorite main street.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Who knew hashtags would attract the attention of policymakers?
Australia's Treasury has become so alert to the dangers of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn that it has launched a study into the role they could play in takeovers and other sensitive corporate transactions.
"With the rise of social and other new media, there are an increasing number of channels through which potentially price-sensitive information is disseminated," the Treasury said in a scoping paper published Friday.
Australian corporates have paid 1.7 billion Australian dollars (US$1.75 billion) — or 13% of a A$13 billion advertising spending pool — to global media players such as Google, Facebook and LinkedIn, according to Morgan Stanley.
"By 2020 we estimate global players will extract A$5.7 billion or 33% of a total A$16.7 billion ad spend pool," Sydney-based Morgan Stanley Andrew McLeod said in a note to clients, describing the structural shift as "global leakage".
Online music streaming service Spotify launched in Australia this week in a move insiders say could change the face of the country's music industry.
The Swedish company's entrance into Australia will add the world's sixth-largest music market to its 14-strong hit list at a time when Facebook's initial public offering has sparked a flurry of interest in next-generation web companies.
Kate Vale, Spotify's Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand said "tens of thousands" of people had pre-registered for the Australian service before the launch, which was delayed by six months while the company inked contracts global and local record labels to build its online catalogue.
Facebook's IPO could make Mark Zuckerberg an $18.7 billion-man.
That's the amount his stake could be worth when Facebook goes public this month, according to the latest filing from the social network.
Facebook and some shareholders together are looking to sell 337.4 million shares between $28 and $35 each.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 5/4/13
When you live on the West Coast, sometimes you have to listen to the other team's broadcast. It can be excruciating. When your team starts winning, especially in clutch fashion, there's nothing better. That's what happened to me while listening to the Braves announcers last night. When the Braves made a move, the Mets had an answer. Clutch offense was the theme of the game. Evan Gattis hit a home run off Brandon Lyon and Mets fans released a digital sigh throughout the Twittersphere. They had read this ending before. Then David Wright summoned his inner Walt Whitman and had fans singing, "O Captain! My Captain!" Wright hit a clutch 464-foot home run off Craig Kimbrel that tied the game at five in the 9th. Bobby Parnell bailed out Lyon after Lyon gave up a leadoff double in the bottom half of the frame and the Mets went into extras unscathed. The Mets have played seven innings of extra-inning baseball in the last four games. Lucas Duda and Marlon Byrd went down consecutively and the ...

Updated: October 19, 2009, 9:52 PM ETBy Pedro Gomez | ESPN
SAN DIEGO -- Walt Daniels, a longtime Chargers game-day operations employee, fell out of the Denver Broncos coaches booth about three hours before the kickoff of Monday night's game.
Daniels was delivering information to the booths when he apparently slipped and fell nearly 30 feet to the loge level below the press box.
Medical crews performed extensive CPR on Daniels and managed to rescusitate him. Daniels, who was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, is reported to be in or around his ...

I am a busy homeschooling mom to my daughter, so I am always looking for the most efficient and least time consuming ways to manage all my culturing. It took just a little planning, but I am able to keep at least 4 different cultures going without feeling overwhelmed. I'd be happy to help you find your rhythm! I also love to knit, read, and watch movies. Read my CFH blog posts here.

I'm a wife and mother of two wonderful daughters. I come from a large farming family and enjoy instilling old-fashioned values and fun in my children's lives. In my spare time I enjoy baking extravagant cakes, cooking, painting, crocheting, knitting, gardening, and quilting. I believe it's important to pass on passions and talents like these to the next generation, just as my mother and grandmothers did for me.
Mason, Customer Support Representative
I'm a recent graduate of Augustana College and a die-hard foodie. While my degree was in philosophy, I spent a lot of my time learning about food and fermentation on the side. What started as a hobby then turned into a set of regulative ideals, and I embraced fermentation as a lifestyle. Following my exodus from higher education, a friend of mine offered me an opportunity baking artisan bread in a brand new bakery here in Sioux Falls. Now, at Cultures for Health, I get to play with and talk about fermentation in so many forms with other fermentation enthusiasts - how cool is that??
Apart from fermentation I am fond of music, black coffee, nice wine, and thoughtful books - not to mention thoughtful people!

I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful babies. When I am not playing with the kids, or working here at Cultures for Health, I am a professional actress in our local production of South Pacific! My favorite cultured foods are milk kefir and sauerkraut. I feel these are the easiest and most versatile cultures. I have taught many classes on fermenting kefir, veggies, and kombucha. Before I was a mom, I owned my own company selling sauerkraut, kefir, and lacto-fermented condiments. I love to help people on their journey to health using these amazing and fun foods!

I'm into gardening, real food, and treading lightly. My favorite cultured foods include matsoni yogurt, sauerkraut, and dill pickles. I love that my house looks like a science lab, with fermenting experiments on every available shelf or countertop. Read my CFH blog posts here.

Waffle Irons
Waffle irons have dozens of uses, from making basic waffles to creating sumptuous desserts. Make homemade blueberry or chocolate chip waffles for a breakfast treat your family will love, or create a low-fat multigrain version that will help out your waistline. Use a round waffle iron to prepare batches of waffles ahead of time and freeze them for busy mornings. Classic waffles are always a treat, but you can change the flavor and texture by using your own recipe. If you prefer a thicker waffle, use a Belgian waffle iron to make spectacular brunch dishes or desserts. Simply top them with some fresh fruit, a dusting of confectioners' sugar and homemade whipped cream for a light but tasty dish. If you are looking for creative dinner ideas, purchase a waffle iron that doubles as a sandwich machine. These appliances have changeable plates that make waffles but also do a great job of making hot sandwiches, homemade pizza, or a multitude of other creations. Develop your own dessert recipes by experimenting with brownie batter, cinnamon rolls, S'more ingredients and cookie dough. Mini waffle irons make it easy to control your portions and make delicious meals you can eat on the go. Simply store your mini waffles in the freezer and heat them up in a toaster or toaster oven before you leave the house.

Tinkerbell Half Marathon Race Report!
View LOTUSFLOWER's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from LOTUSFLOWER
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
A year ago I told my very good friend Blaize (INSPIREBYNATURE), who I met here on Spark almost 3 yrs. ago, and who has been my partner on the Sunny Gals team for the past 2+ yrs., that I wanted to run a half marathon. Not just any half marathon, but a half marathon in Disney.
Back when I started running, about 3 yrs. ago, it was a dream of mine to run a 5k at Disney. I had never been to Disney, and it felt like a good goal. But after meeting Blaize, and for those of you who know her, you know what I am talking about, she makes you feel like bigger, better things are possible. In fact, when we first met online, one of the first pictures I saw of her was after she ran her own first half marathon, and I started to dream BIGGER.
So when I told her my plan, it should have been of no surprise to me at all that she said, immediately, without any hesitation (I love this girl), "I'll run it with you."
It was such a wonderful thing, such an offering up of herself, her time, well, everything. To tell someone you will run a half marathon with them is almost like getting engaged. Well, ok, not exactly, but you know what I mean. It's a commitment.
So throughout this year we had big training plans. And those plans, for both of us, fell a little short due to illness, life changes, and huge events beyond our control. Speaking for myself I had the flu 2 weeks prior, and that was followed by a terrible ear infection and two ruptured ears as a consequence. It was not the ideal conditions, and I wasn't able to go on my last two long runs. The furthest I had run was 10 miles, and that was about a month before the half.
Blaize's plan was to walk/run it, and mine was to run as much of it as I could.
But first, we had to meet!
We met at the expo, me with my family in tow (my 2 daughters, ages 3 and 6), and her with her mom and her 5 year old daughter.
Blaize and I after we first met!
Our daughters after meeting (new BFFs!) (My daughter Lucy on the left, Azali on the right)
At the expo we shopped, I lost my daughter for 10 scary minutes, and I think we were all ready to go back to the hotel to relax before dinner. For dinner we walked to Downtown Disney, but the Rainforest Cafe had a 3 hr. wait, so we had our pre-race dinner at Denny's. Hey, it wasn't that bad :) And we chose food that wasn't too fatty and had a good balance of carb/protein.
Then we went to bed by 10 PM, having an early morning wakeup call. The race had a 5 AM start, and we had to be in our corral by 4:30 AM, so we made plans to meet in Blaize's hotel room at 3:15 AM to give us time to eat a healthy breakfast of bread, natural peanut butter and a banana and then walk to the corral.
Us at 3:15 AM before the race!
Before the race
We both wore Sparkle Skirts, it was a gift from Blaize, she knew I wanted to wear a green one (thank you honey!) and of course we had to have Princess Bondi Bands, too. We looked super cute.
As we stood in the corral I was a ball of nerves. I was so nervous, I don't think I had ever been this nervous before the race. I didn't know what to expect, and the two weeks before the race being sick really rattled my confidence.
I had prepared some mantras the night before to help me in my run.
"God is Able." - I actually heard someone sing this on American Idol recently and it really stuck in my head. Where I am weak, He is strong.
"All Things are Possible Through Christ." - this is my favorite, and is even inscribed on my running ID bracelet.
Lastly, I read this one on the plane over to CA and I tore it out because I knew it was meant for me during this race.: "The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exhalt him." (Exodus 15:2)
My strength and my song. I loved that. I would praise him, even when it got hard for me. I would put my focus there, and hand that pain over to Him.
Soon it was our turn to go. Corral D stood for "Dreams Come True", and it couldn't have been more appropriate. I met one of my best friends for the first time after 3 yrs. of friendship, and we were doing something amazing together. I was running my first half marathon! I would have never thought I was capable of this.
During the Star Spangled Banner Disney lit fireworks off, and it was so breathtaking. I teared up. I was sharing this moment with Blaize, it was so surreal.
And we were off! The first 4.5 miles were through Disney, so it was nice scenery. We ran through Cars Land, past the castle, it was so cool.
Here's the most miraculous part. Blaize and I ran the entire first nine miles together!! She figured maybe 1-2 miles, and I was looking forward to running as much as we could together, but I didn't think it would be nine miles. I am so extremely proud of her. I don't recall exactly what her longest run was in her training, but I believe it was 6 miles. I know she was planning on walking much of the race, but she ran almost the whole thing! I had to take two bathroom breaks, and we walked through some of the water stations and along the course if we needed to. But at Mile 9 is when things got really hard for me. I knew that if I walked any more I would not finish running, and my goal was to run as much as I could. It was do or die. Blaize and I had agreed earlier that whenever I needed to go ahead that was fine, so I told her I needed to keep running and we agreed to try to meet up with again, and I had texts on my phone with her progress, so I would know where she was so we could meet up.
Little did I know that she would finish only 3 minutes behind me! She is just so amazing. She does not give up, and I have to tell you that her perseverance has truly changed me as a person, and as an athlete.
I finished at 2:58:54, which I am very proud of. It's funny, I got texts when Blaize hit mile markers, and so when my phone kept vibrating every mile we passed I thought someone was tracking me and it encouraged me, but it was me tracking Blaize! I didn't realize that until after the race ended, so it was like I had an imaginary cheering section, it helped me though :))
Almost to the finish line!
Me about to cross the finish line, waving to my kids after giving Minnie Mouse a high five.
A cheering sign my daughter Lucy made.
Right after finishing, and getting my "wings" medal.
Blaize and I with our medals!!! She finished in 3:01, woo hoo!!
After the race we went to the pool to relax.
And then we did something crazy - we went to Disney and walked a TON of steps. I think we logged over 30 miles on that day.
(We also had some margaritas)
And the next day? Yep. We went to Disney.
Like Walt Disney said, it's fun to do the impossible. I never, ever thought I would be a runner. I started walking, and then began the Couch to 5k program, and gradually after 5ks did an 8k, then a 10k, then a 15k, and now a half marathon. If I can do it, so can YOU!
Blaize, I'm glad I got to share this with you. Love you!
Us with our little Princesses. Just think what a good example we are setting for them!!

Wow! I love this blog. I'm so happy for you. I also dream of running the Tinkerbell half marathon. I did the Neverland 5k this year and I was wishing I could have done the half marathon the day after my race. I will plan for another year. Next year, perhaps.
That is awesome that you committed to running this and trained for it with a good friend, met your friend at the race, got to enjoy Disney with your families and accomplished a dream of yours!
I love your running mantras and the verse you use on your running bracelet. I would like to get one like that. When I cross the finishline I think "To God be the glory" It's only because He gives me the strength and inspiration to run.
I did my second half marathon this past December and it wasn't nearly as fun as this race looks! I can't wait to wear a tutu in a race!

Oh my goodness....I am over here tearing up....seriously, Kathy.....your friendship means the world to me! Over these past 3 years you have become my best friends...you are always there for me and I feel so comfortable talking to you about anything and everything. The Tink weekend was one of the best (and funnest) weekends of my life!!!!!!! I am so incredibly grateful to have you in my life. You are an inspiration...truly! You encouraged me this past year and talked me through all of the setbacks that I had.....three breakups, an unplanned pregnancy followed by an unplanned miscarriage, a jaw/tooth infection, and a serious leg injury. Yet, you kept reassuring me that I could do this and that walking and running didn't make me a failure. My longest run was 6 miles! The last 3 miles was possible only because I had you by my side. You are absolutely amazing....a fabulous mother, a loving wife, a great friend, and a true inspiration. I am beyond proud of you. Had I known that we were only three minutes apart I would have kept pushing so that we could finish together but I am so incredibly grateful that we shared this experience together!!! Azali and I love you guys so much!!!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Click HERE to check out the Daily Post's complete coverage of the 2012 Olympics, including Gwinnett athletes competing in the Summer Games.
LONDON — American runner Manteo Mitchell ran the last 200 meters of the opening lap of the Olympic 4x400-meter relay preliminaries Thursday with a broken leg.
Mitchell told The Associated Press he had about half a lap to go when he felt a popping in his left leg.
He finished the lap in 46.1 seconds and helped the Americans to a tie for first with the Bahamas in 2 minutes, 58.87 seconds. A few hours later, doctors told him he had a broken left fibula.
The relay final is set for Friday. The Americans have won the last eight long relays they've entered at the Olympics.
Mitchell says "I figured it's what almost any person would've done in that situation."

Oakbrook Terrace
Hi Joe,
Now that I am settling in back home again I wanted to inform you of the extraordinary service I have received from Paul Mazzocco since Day 1 (as I have been dealing with him for several months now). Never in my life have I met any sales or service person who goes to the lengths that Paul does to provide such superior customer service He is truly one-of-a-kind and you were most blessed to find such such an amazing employee (which as I'm sure you have experienced is very hard to come by in this day and age).I heard about Relax the Back through Marian joy from my Physical Therapist. You may recall the day I first wandered in to check out the store after just having purchased a desk chair the day prior which I thought offered the ultimate in adjustability options. As I told, you I didn't realize you carried chairs or I would have certainly looked into them. You were so wonderful in showing me different desk chairs and options and I deeply regretted buying the one I had just purchased the day before (which I still have).
Over the weekend, when you were in your other store I met Paul. I remember when you originally told me about Paul I asked Is he as good as you (since you were so knowledgeable and helpful). You replied hes even better than me. Hes a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist and he really knows his stuff. Upon meeting him I was extremely impressed by his knowledge also. He analyzed my medical needs my body type how I looked in different chairs from an ergonomic perspective and which options would be best suited to me. I placed the order for a Lifeform Ultimate Executive Chair which I have had for a few months and just love The other brand new chair I had just purchased before coming into your store is now in the basement. Not only is Paul an expert in his field I also want to express how unbelievably compassionate he has been regarding my health situation. I am only 40 years old but I am in extremely poor health. I have several health problems but the most chronic and disabling is the fact that for the past 11 years, I have had Chronic Daily Migraines (24 hours7 days a week) with associated muscle pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. My Physical Therapist says that my muscles are so weak that I can barely even hold up my own head (this is one reason why a chair headrest was so important for me). My posture is also horrible and Paul has had to work very hard to adjust my chair to help keep me in the best possible posture. Unfortunately he has had to set me up in two different living environments. And he did FAR MORE than just simply set me up with a chair
Paul first came out to an apartment I was in due to recent exacerbation of my medical circumstances. I am not sure if you were aware of this or not but I was there away from my house and family with a 24-hour caregiver because things had become so unbearable. I simply could not function and could no longer hide the pain from my daughter. Paul was so kind and compassionate about my whole situation and did everything he possibly could to help me. He not only adjusted my chair (his only job) Paul spent forever with me analyzing my whole living and sleeping environment and recommending appropriate products based on my unique medical needs. He even brought sample pillows and products from the store since I was so close by. He would then observe which products kept me in the most neutral positions. For example due to my neck,shoulder and upper-back pain I am forced to sleep on my back (as much as I hate it I was always a side-sleeper). He observed my positioning with various pillows,knee wedges, etc. He also helped me make modifications to my desk computer area. In addition, since massage brings such great relief to me he suggested which massage products he thought may help me. And I was so impressed that he was not just merely trying to sell me any old product(s)but only the ones he truly thought would help me most (in fact he even discouraged me from a couple of products I was interested in which he felt were not best suited to my needs).
Paul gained my trust so much and did such a great job of informing me about your products that I have ended up purchasing a very large number of products from your store--the most expensive of which are the Sanyo Zero Gravity Massage Chair and the Lifeform Ultimate Executive Chair. I think I also have every massage device in the store along with so many other great products. I had to leave the apartment not because I was feeling well and ready to come back home but due to allergies. They kept trying to fix water leakage coming into the unit from the HVAC system for a month but the carpeting and drywall was continually soaked and full of mold/mildew--to which I had an allergic reaction (the last thing I needed with my other medical issues). When my breathing started being severely effected I had to leave the apartment immediately. I stopped in the store to buy something the day I was leaving and I told Paul about the situation. He is such a phenomenal human being that he even came over to the apartment to help us load the U-Haul because he knew that timing was of the essence and we did not have help. I simply cannot believe this man. Then as soon as I was back in my house he immediately contacted me to make arrangements to re-adjust my chair set-up my desk space (completely different than that in the apartment) etc. He wanted to ensure that I would be as comfortable as possible now that I was back home. He was here for a couple of hours re-establishing me alone--not to mention all the other hours he has spent with me (and a lot of this time I believe was during off hours). I have never seen anyone with this degree of dedication to their job. I believe he just truly loves helping people like me achieve fuller,more productive lives. And he genuinely cares about his customers. I remember he even contacted me when I was scheduled for surgery to wish me luck.I just cannot say enough about how grateful I am to Paul and all of you at Relax the Back for the difference you have made in my life. I wish I would have known that your store was in the area a long time ago as I bought countless products over the Internet that I thought may help me. However, since I could not see or feel them very few were decent products and or well-suited to me (hence you should see my pillow collection)
I am most grateful to have finally found you If you ever need any sort of testimonial for your store or products I am more than willing to help.
Best Regards,
Georgia V.
