Buried in Bloomberg: "Why A Single Leveraged Speculator Can Cause A Clearinghouse System Default"
December 26, 2012 | By Tekoa Da Silva
Buried in Bloomberg last Friday, was an article published which quietly reminded the markets a clearinghouse system collapse is still a possibility. It was interesting that the article was published just before the holiday retreat and no doubt attracted very little attention.
In the article, former banking executive Satyajit Das breaks down just how easily a clearinghouse system collapse could occur. It could be as simple as a single trader loading up on too many futures contracts, and in a collapsing market, failing to meet a margin call:
"Das sketched a scenario where a large trader fails to make a margin call. This kindles rumors that a bank handling the trader's transactions — a clearing member — is short on cash.
Remaining clients rush to pull their trading accounts and cash, forcing the lender into bankruptcy. Questions begin to swirl about whether the remaining clearing members can absorb billions in losses, spurring more runs.
"Bank customers panic, and they start to withdraw money," he said. "The amount of money needed starts to become problematic. None of this is quantifiable in advance."
The translation of that simply means: The layers of leverage in the system are so great, that a single customer default can lead to a bank default, which can lead to a clearinghouse default, which can lead to a financial system default.
The article goes on to quote a former futures trader and now college finance professor in saying, "Clearinghouses have been oversold as a way of preventing Armageddon…I just don't think that realistically you can exclude the possibility that taxpayers could be at risk."
Lastly, the most interesting comment of all, was that of Lloyd Blankfein, when following the signing of the Frank-Dodd bill (which was designed to reduce financial system risks) he said, "We have to make sure that something that we do to reduce the risk in a once-in-a-20-year storm doesn't increase the risk in a once-in-a-50-year storm…The regulatory push might make clearinghouses 'the biggest systemic risk in the world.'"
Reading Between The Lines
In being street smart and understanding the real story is always telegraphed between the lines rather than on them, we must conclude that financial survival in today's day and age requires real things and real assets. Real assets are gold, silver, farms, commodity production, real estate and more.
Additionally, for those seeking inflation protection through gold and silver mining stocks, a review of "direct registration" and "paper share certification" may be a key to your financial survival. Corporations and hedge funds are already using these methods, and details on them can be found in my recent report entitled, "BulletProof Shares – How To Protect Your Stock Investments From Broker Bankruptcy & Theft". As I've written about previously,800 accounts at MF Global were holding stocks of individual companies, and those account holders were wiped out with everyone else.
All the best in the days ahead,
Tekoa Da Silva

Information for Patients and Caregivers
Cancer patients who are treated with chemotherapy are more likely to get infections through everyday activities, or from health care settings. One out of every 10 cancer patients who receives chemotherapy gets an infection that requires a hospital visit.
What Is an Infection?
You get an infection when germs enter your body and multiply, causing illness, organ and tissue damage, or disease. Bacteria and viruses cause infections.
- You can get bacteria from the air, water, soil, or food during the course of your medical treatment. Most bacteria come from your own body. Common bacterial infections include pneumonia, bronchitis, and ear infections.
- Viruses are passed from one person to another. Common viral infections include the common cold, herpes, and the flu.
How Does the Body Normally Fight Infections?
The immune system helps your body protect itself from getting an infection. Cancer and chemotherapy can damage this system, reducing your numbers of infection-fighting white blood cells and making it harder for your body to fight infections.
How Can I Prevent Infections During Chemotherapy?
- Prepare: Watch Out for Fever
- Prevent: Clean Your Hands
- Protect: Know the Signs and Symptoms of Infection
What Should I Do If I Think I Have an Infection?
Call your doctor right away, even if this happens in the middle of the night. This is considered an emergency. Don't wait until morning. Keep your doctor's phone numbers with you at all times. Make sure you know what number to call during your doctor's office hours, as well as after hours.

I am gradually following up on the wealth of information that was my RootsTech experience. One of the presenters I had particularly enjoyed was Josh Taylor, of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, who did an excellent presentation on what genealogists need software tools to do for us in the future. Near future, please! I was delighted to find another of his presentations online, one that I had missed. See Geneabloggers for a link to Josh Taylor explaining some of the clever uses of PDFs for genealogy research and file management. Even for me, a longtime PDF fan, this was very useful.

Mesa threw at Omar again today, when the Giants visited the Rockies. As many Tribe die-hards know, this started several years ago when Omar wrote in his book that Mesa "choked away the World Series" or something to that effect, and Mesa has absolutely HATED Omar with a passion since then. The last time they met, I believe Omar was with the Indians and Mesa was with the Phillies.
Mesa has seriously threatened Omar several times, and said after he hit Omar as a Phillie maybe 3-4 years ago that he would do it again, and I think it's ironic that they met again this weekend in 2006, and Mesa stayed true to his word by plunking little O who he despises!
Something funny I noticed this weekend that I thought others might too......
Just a short story on Jose Mesa and the type of character we are dealing with here. The guy is a spaz, a weirdo, a complete sketch ball. Besides this story, and forcing a finger into an underage girl while he was driving, old Mesa tried to pull a fast one on my best friend and me at a Reds game two seasons ago. He was sitting down in the bullpen, and on the bench in the Cincinnati Reds Great American Ballpark. My friend hollered at him to get a picture or something leaning over the bullpen and Mesa gave him a stare down like he wanted to kill him. It was an unbelievably evil glare and that was all I needed to see.
Mesa had an opened gym bag next to him and in that gym bag? Not athletic tape, not steroids, nothing of the sort. Wanna know what was in it? No joke: A snickers bar, gummy savers, a butterfinger, and a kit kat bar. Swear on my life. Now either the guy has a serious disorder in which he needs mass amounts of sugar, or he at that time (which he appeared to be over weight) he had a serious sweet tooth. So we began of course teasing him about the candy bag, I mean here he is a world class athlete, and he's got a bag chalked full of candy, looked like he'd just went trick or treating in July. He began to scowl and stare again like he was going to come up in the stands and kill us, and of course it just angered me more because he could have been friendly to begin with. So long story short after teasing him about his butterfinger got boring, I brought out the big fella. I said "hey george watch this"
I asked Mesa about what happened in game 7, 1997. I asked him several times and asked him if he knew why the Indians hadn't won a World Series in the last 50 years. I finished it off by saying the answer is you amigo. Well we sat down and about an inning later a security guard walks up to us and trys to exit our butts of the premisis because "We spit on Jose Mesa, Jose Mesa says you two spit on him."
I asked george if he did it, knowing full well he did not because I would have seem him do it and he wouldn't lie to me. He said no way man. NO way would I spit on another human being. They investigated and found out we were not spitters and didn't do it and let us stay in the game.
Just thought I'd share that not only is he fat, addicted to candy bars, and a choke artist, but this guy is a scary, sadistic individual. Hope he gets suspended for life from baseball. He should be in prison for what he did to that young girl.

Kate Middleton's Favorite Rose Discovered in Africa, Scent "Stolen" by Perfume Maker: Get the Details!
Danny Seo, environmental lifestyle expert, guest blogs for Us Weekly about his trip to Africa and his discovery of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's favorite roses.
This is me in East Africa. On the Equator. Sticking a syringe-like apparatus into a yellow scented rose. It happens to also be Kate Middleton's favorite rose. I'm stealing the scent since I can't take the rose. Let's backtrack.
Kate Middleton, Prince William Missed Prince George's First Crawl!
I have a line of perfumes called Danny Seo Reserve. Each perfume is inspired by different places around the world: Australia, North America and even a "best of the world" Global perfume. So, naturally, Africa made sense as our next inspirational destination.
I teamed up with Micato Safaris, who Travel & Leisure has named "World's Best Safari Outfitter" nine years in a row because they know how to deal with unusual clients who want truly custom safari adventures. Think customers who want to wake up next to baby elephants frolicking in the Serengeti followed by a champagne brunch in the middle of a field by way of hot air balloon. I gave them one simple request: help me find the perfect African rose.  Â
Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding Bouquet: All the Details!
My safari guides take me to the edge of Mount Kenya. We pass one remote village after another down countless bumpy dirt roads. And then we arrive at a carefully guarded compound simply marked "Tambuzi Roses."Â
In a silk-tent-covered greenhouse, Tambuzi founder Tim Hobbs walks me down row after row of roses. There are 50 unusual varieties in all with names like "Purple Tambourine" and "Heiko Romantica." They don't smell like supermarket roses, but have notes like spun sugar and strawberries & cream.  Â
Prince William, Kate Middleton's Vacation in Maldives Costs $10,000 for Four Nights
Which brings me to Kate Middleton. Tim casually mentions "this is a favorite of Princess Kate." It's yellow. And it smells like honey. These roses will be cut today in Africa, refrigerated, and air lifted to London tomorrow. A shop called The Real Flower Company inside Selfridges will arrange them into beautiful arrangements in hat boxes. Prince William's wife Kate, explains Tim, is a huge fan of these unusually scented roses and loves to send them out as gifts.
When Tim isn't looking, I steal the scent. This little glass dome and needle are called NaturePrint technology that my fragrance partners at Tru Fragrance and Firmenich use this to capture scents the way they smell in nature without killing the flower.  So over the yellow rose goes the glass dome and the needle is injected through a small hole on top. A microscopic pad absorbs the breathtaking scent. And then the needle is brought back to NYC, where our perfumers can replicate the DNA structure of the scent and use it as a singular note in my next perfume.Â
Kate Middleton, Prince William Hire Prince George a New Nanny: Get to Know Maria Teresa Turrio (...)
And then it's on a 15 hour British Airways flight home connecting through London. At security, my suspicious collection of NaturePrint needles and glass domes brings me to security where I calmly explain, "I found Kate Middleton's favorite roses on the Equator and used this to suck the scent." Perplexed, they let me go.

Clemson ready to reclaim Textile Bowl from N.C. State
CLEMSON - An entire week passed without one mention of the empty spot in Clemson's WestZone trophy case.
For seven years, the Textile Bowl trophy sat in a second-floor display case along other bowl and postseason trophies, garnering little to no attention.
That changed last November, when N.C. State put a 37-13 whipping on the Tigers in Raleigh, taking its first victory over Clemson in eight tries. The trophy – a symbol of Clemson and N.C. State's shared agricultural, textile and land-grant roots – went back to North Carolina.
No Clemson players acknowledged the trophy this week, but they'll have a chance to win it back Saturday when the Tigers and Wolfpack meet in Memorial Stadium.
The Wolfpack (6-4, 3-3 ACC) are already bowl-eligible, but they've been up-and-down this season. You can bet Clemson won't be looking past them for next week's rivalry showdown with South Carolina, given the stakes – and the trophy on the line.
The Wolfpack feature one of the ACC's best passing attacks; they average 291 passing yards per game, third in the ACC and 27th nationally. Senior Mike Glennon is a traditional pocket passer who torched North Carolina for 467 yards and five touchdowns, and Miami for 440 yards and four scores (both in defeats). He's second in the ACC in both passing yards per game and touchdowns, behind Tajh Boyd. T.L. Hanna alum Quintin Payton is enjoying a breakout season with 42 receptions for 669 yards; Bryan Underwood has 40 receptions for 588 yards and 10 touchdowns. State leads the ACC with 30 sacks over 10 games; four players have at least 3.5 sacks. Junior cornerback David Amerson is one of the nation's top cover corners and a bonafide NFL prospect; he has struggled at times, with only four interceptions following a 13-pick sophomore season, but is still plenty dangerous.
N.C. State's running game is virtually nonexistent. The Wolfpack averages 116.8 yards rushing per game, ninth in the ACC and only 107th nationally. Freshman Shadrach Thornton leads State with 436 yards, and is coming off his first career 100-yard game against Wake Forest. The 'Pack's pass defense has been strafed early and often despite Amerson's presence, allowing 259.2 yards per game, 10th in the ACC and 95th nationally. That's bad news against a Clemson spread offense which has scored at least 37 points in nine consecutive games, an ACC record. When Glennon is good, he's good. But when he's bad, the 'Pack tends to struggle. He threw a combined two touchdowns and seven interceptions against Tennessee and Virginia, and State lost both games, dropping a 33-6 decision to a Cavalier team that dragged a six-game losing streak into Carter-Finley Stadium.
Clemson is an 18.5-point favorite over State, but the Tigers have every reason to be motivated following last season's 37-13 beatdown in Raleigh, the Wolfpack's first Textile Bowl win in eight tries. It was a nightmarish game in virtually all aspects, one that players say kick-started 2011's season-ending slide. The Tigers insist they're a more mature, focused team, and recent results against less-talented foes back up the rhetoric. It'll be interesting to see how a thin secondary handles Glennon's pass-first mentality, and an improving defensive line must get more pressure than it did a year ago. Still, it's hard to imagine a fired-up Clemson team letting hopes of a BCS bid and 10-win season slip away today.
THE PREDICTION: Clemson 41, N.C. State 24.

Dry mouth is the condition of not having enough saliva, or spit, to keep your mouth wet. Everyone has dry mouth once in a while -- if they are nervous, upset, or under stress. But if you have dry mouth all or most of the time, it can be uncomfortable and lead to serious health problems. Though many older adults have dry mouth, it is not a normal part of aging.

A chilly day at the zoo
Updated: Friday, February 14 2014, 01:35 PM EST
Rochester, N.Y. --- Tuesday was one of those freezing cold days that had many wishing they could stay home from school or work…assuming they were not already home from school or work. Wind chills were in the negative by double-digits and time spent outdoors was limited.
Except for some of the animals at the Seneca Park Zoo.
"If any animal can appreciate this weather that we're having in Western New York it's definitely Zero and Aurora," Zookeeper Kara Masaschi said of the zoo's two polar bears. "They're from one of the harshest climates on the planet so to him this is really no big deal and as you can see even though he has access inside he chooses to be out so for him this is a perfect day."
On the other hand, three of the youngest animals at the zoo made the "education decision" to stay inside on Tuesday.
"Today it's a little chilly so they ran out, kind of stopped and then ran back in," Masaschi said of three ten month-old lion cubs. "But last week when it was even below freezing they were out there playing so don't think you won't see anything if you come out to the zoo because you will."
Even in the winter the zoo remains open and a surprising number of loyal patrons do visit in the colder months.
"I still believe it or not get questions, when does the zoo open in the spring? And we've never closed for the winter," joked Zoo Director Larry Sorel. "This is extreme for anything outside in my opinion but (on a) normal winter day at the zoo I think is absolutely wonderful, it's a completely different experience I think the zoo is beautiful with the snow."
To accommodate the animals the enclosures often contain some "hidden" warming features. Rocks in the lion enclosure are actually heated and you find many lounging there on days that are a bit warmer than Tuesday.
"They have access to nest boxes," Masaschi said of other warming features for animals in the zoo. "We also put up tarps for wind breaks and often times they'll have heaters in their nest boxes as well so they can make a choice if they want to be in or out."
As for the penguins? You might expect to see them during your visit but not the penguins at this zoo, at least not on a day as cold as Tuesday.
"The reality here at our zoo is that our penguins are from South Africa so they would much prefer a 65-to-70 degree day as opposed to the weather that we're having now," said Masaschi when explaining why they were all kept inside.

For steeping the "tea," you will need a 1-quart wide-mouth glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
YIELD: Makes 2 servings
- 8 ounces beef chuck steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups water
1. Combine the beef, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and let the water barely simmer for 20 minutes more, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
2. Pour the liquid and the pieces of beef into the jar or container, cover it tightly, and let the liquid steep (like tea, of course) in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
3. Strain the liquid either through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer and discard the beef. You'll be left with the tea. Serve hot.

Make vet visits enjoyable for you & pets
Sometimes, taking your pet for veterinary checkups can be stressful. Here are some tips to make it more enjoyable:
Start with socializing your pet at a young age. The socialization period for your puppy is between 7-16 weeks of age. This is a critical time to prevent fear and help ensure that your puppy is less anxious as an adult. Socializing with various dogs and people can help your pet be less fearful of anyone he may encounter throughout his lifetime.
Create happy visits. If your dog only gets exams and shots at the vet, he then associates only these things with his visits. Take your puppy or dog to the vet office for treats and petting often, especially as a puppy. Your dog will then associate the office with fun and positive events. To get your pet used to the scale and exam tables, feed him something tasty while introducing him to these various surfaces. Hand target training can also be a useful tool to teach your dog. Give your dog a treat for touching his nose to your hand. Practice at home until your dog becomes well-skilled. This can be used to move your dog onto the scale, and exam tables. Also, by giving him a task during the visit, you can ease anxiety and draw focus to the training and not the procedures.
Another method of combating vet-related anxiety is to exercise your dog for 30 minutes prior to the visit. A well-exercised dog will be less excitable, thereby decreasing the chance of anxiety-related behavior.
Pay close attention to your pet the entire visit--from the moment you enter the waiting room until you return home. If the waiting room is busy and crowded, walk him outside until you enter the exam room, using treats as positive reinforcement. Remember to bring treats for your dog that he really savors.
Keep your pet leashed in the waiting room. If your pet doesn't like other dogs, keep him at a safe distance from other pets. If necessary, he can be desensitized to a basket muzzle for a few weeks prior to the visit. The benefit of using this type of muzzle above others is the ability to feed your pup tasty treats while allowing him to adapt to the new sensation. Please notify the office of aggressive dogs in advance so they can better accommodate you and your dog, even if by finding a time that can be less busy and stressful for the visit. If in the event your dog encounters another pet in the waiting room that leads to anxiety, you can help avoid confrontations by positively reinforcing direct eye contact with you.
Work on handling your dog at a young age. You should feed him something he enjoys while handling. Your puppy should enjoy having his ears, mouth, and feet touched. By utilizing positive reinforcement, the exams performed by your dog's vets will be better tolerated. With these simple, early practices, you can help ensure a good thorough exam. Reinforce the calm behavior throughout the entire veterinary visit. This can be done by ignoring the undesirable behavior and reinforcing appropriate, relaxed behavior.
Positive training is a must. This method of training allows your pet to be relaxed when anticipating a correction. Your vet visits will then be associated only with positive experiences, instead of fear of reproach, hopefully letting you both have many years of relaxed, stress free veterinary visits.
When your dog begins to pull you through the vet's office doors, you know we've all done something right.
Keep the cat carrier accessible for a few weeks or months prior to the visit. Allow your cat to interact with it, including voluntarily going in and out. You can throw treats inside or feed her in the open carrier to help desensitize her to the unfamiliar confines.
At this point, the hope is that your cat will now readily go into the carrier with minimal hassle. A top-loading carrier may allow your cat to remain inside and feel safer during a majority of the exam. A blanket or towel can be placed over the carrier to promote a sense of security as well as decreasing motion sickness. Begin with a few car rides a few weeks or months prior to your appointment. This can help make your visit a more positive experience for everyone. Happy visits to the vet for cat and owner are both encouraged and possible, even if a little bit of help is needed.
There are products that can be used in conjunction with the above techniques to help ease anxiety. Feliway is a synthetic feline pheromone that can assist in relaxing and calming your cat. A spray can be purchased and used around the house, car, and carrier as well as in the appointment, to make vet visits a more stress-free experience for both you and your cat.
Above all, try to remain positive and calm during your visits. I hope everyone has successful veterinary appointments in the future.

He's starred in a Vegas commercial, and has an upcoming monthlong residency at Planet Hollywood later this summer, but this Friday night at The Mirage's 1 OAK, catch The Voice star Cee Lo Green performing live. For more live music, catch Fantasy lead vocalist Lorena Peril performing at LAX on Saturday. There are plenty of top-make music producers in town this weekend as well, including Tiesto, Sander van Doorn, Avicii, Hardwell, Lil Jon, DJ Vice and Kaskade. The complete rundown:
Friday, April 27
Saturday, April 28
Sunday, April 29
Downtown Las Vegas always has a rockin' weekend schedule. Free shows occur on the First and Third Street stages on Fremont Street, in addition to the overhead VivaVision shows. And the new Fremont East Entertainment district offers a variety of unique bars and clubs, including piano bars, bands, arts, arcades and more! For the latest in Vegas nightlife, go to VisitLasVegas.com.
New Year's weekend in Vegas is about much more than just watching a ball drop and waving goodbye to one year to usher in another -- it's about celebration, revelry, and a lineup of entertainment that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
This year, Las Vegas has three new club experiences opening around New Year's Eve -- 1OAK at The Mirage and Hyde at Bellagio. And that's just the beginning. Here's a look at the weekend scene:
Get your weekend started early on Thursday with Fedde LeGrand spinning at Tryst inside Wynn Las Vegas and Benny Benassi at TAO at The Venetian.
On Friday, rock icons Guns N' Roses play the first of two nights at the Joint inside the Hard Rock.
You've also got plenty of nightlife options to fit every musical taste. Get "crunk" with Lil Jon and Steve Aoki & Lil Jon at Surrender inside Encore at Wynn Las Vegas; enjoy a taste of SHM with Sebastian Ingrosso at XS inside Wynn Las Vegas; catch Laidback Luke at Haze at ARIA; witness Tinie Tempah performing at The Bank inside Bellagio, rock out with Good Charlotte & The Situation at Chateau Nightclub and Gardens inside Paris Las Vegas; DJ Pauly D spins at the Hard Rock's Vanity; Dirty South spins at TAO; or party at the Palms with T-Pain at Rain or Clinton Sparks at Moon.
On New Year's Eve, the stars come out all to ring in 2012! Keep up with the Kardashians -- Kim will be at TAO, Rob at Tryst and Kourtney and Scott Disick will host at Chateau Nightclub and Gardens -- or celebrate with "Peepshow" star Holly Madison at Gallery inside Planet Hollywood.
The biggest names in music are hosting and performing, too, including: Black Eyed Peas members Will.I.Am at Surrender and Fergie at the opening of 1OAK; Chris Brown at Pure inside Caesars Palace; B.O.B. at Luxor's LAX; Bruno Mars at The Bank, John Legend follows his show at Pearl Theater with an after party at Moon and Iyaz at Revolution Lounge inside The Mirage.
LMFAO brings some party rock to Haze; Kaskade spins at Marquee at the Cosmopolitan; Steve Angello is on the turntables at XS; Robbie Rivera is at Vanity; Samantha Ronson is at LAVO at The Palazzo and Paul Oakenfold rings in the new year at Rain.
Other parties include the Cirque du Soleil NYE at Gold Lounge inside ARIA; The NYE Spectacular Spectacular at the Palms' Playboy Club and Foundation Room NYE Gala at Mandalay Bay and Rhumbash at Rhumbar at The Mirage.
There's even more revelry at America's Party Las Vegas 2012 with fireworks launched from the rooftops of hotels up and down the Strip!
The fun doesn't end on New Year's Eve, however. On Sunday, kick off 2012 with Drake at the Joint, with an afterparty at Vanity, Afrojack spinning at XS an Akon at The Bank.

Here is a project I can get behind. I have backed about 10 different Kickstarter Projects and this is another one of their amazing ideas put into actions. I am backing the Ultimate Backup Battery. There are three different units. I backed the 11,250 mAh Battery pack. It is stated to only take 4 to 6 hours to charge and after fully charged it can charge an iPad 1.5 times and an iPhone 7 to 10 times. This unit can last between charges too. I read on their Facebook page – a 6 week test – from freezing to 120 degrees and different altitudes. The unit only lost 1/4 of its battery power. This is mainly due to the slight circuit that checks the battery usage. I used to use the Zagg Spark – but after using it for about 9 months it failed to do any charging. They were nice enough to replace it – but the replacement unit soon failed too. 3 days past their warranty period for the replacement and I was told I would need to purchase a new one. I loved having a nice battery pack around. Long Drives, Sitting outdoors listening to music, may places there are no outlets. So I am placing an order for the Ultra – HighCapacity "The Expedition" with dual outputs. I think I am going to order the Black one. To allow me to make a few nice vinyl cut stickers to place on the unit.

This really is a nice Grinder for Coffee Beans – Portable and convenient. I needed a easy to clean and something small and easy to stash. This fit the bill and works really well. I bought mine off of Amazon – As I do for alot of my items.
Some people call me a coffee snob as I like the best of the best coffee's. I still use my aeropress – I have a k-cup Brewer and I am trying my hand at roasting my own beans too.
This works so well for the Aeropress and for work when I bring in some fresh bean to all of us to try out. This is just such a simple grinder and so easy to use and works like a charm. Not much else to write about on this but go and buy one today for a nice Burr Grind.

This is the Firefly Light – It fits on any standard wide mouth waterbottle. This turns any of your liquids into a nice camplight.
You can hang this to light the whole tent or use it to finish reading your book and keeping a nice drink by your side.
The light in the lid has varible light levels from a nice nightlight setting to full to light the whole area.
Plus, Don't worry about using this as all the electronics are in a sealed compartment that will not get gunked up from juice or water. This also alows this to be used upright, sideways, or upside down depending on how you want to use this.
I really wish I would have know about this earlier in the year when I did some camping at Pymatuning State Park – You know the place that is know for its Bald Eagles – As PA's Largest State Park and Best known for where the Duck Walk on the Fish at the spillway. Pymatuning State Park is one of the nicest state run campgrounds that I have been to – Clean, Fun, Nice Beach on the lake. I nice place to get away from it all and still be close to home. I could see using this light at the table playing some cards, or fixing to make some mountain pie pizzas. This would definatly would have been a nice addtion to the trip.
But, I can see this handy now when taking the kids out trick-or-treating and having a nice glowing bottle of water at your side (nice if you have a red Nalgene Bottle). Or how about when you take a walk at the park and now that the sun is starting to set a little earlier each night would it not be wise to carry a flashlight at your side without having to carry extra items with you. The price for this currently at basegear is only $17. Take a look and see for yourself.

Another case of chikungunya fever, a disease spread by bites from infected mosquitoes, has been reported in Central Florida, health officials said on Monday.
[READ: Chikungunya fact sheet]
According to the Florida Department of Health, the case was was confirmed in Orange County. The person infected had traveled to Haiti and fully recovered from the infection, officials said.
"Avoiding mosquito bites is the key to preventing infection with chikungunya and other mosquito-borne diseases," said Dr. Kevin Sherin, director of the Department of Health, in a release. "Floridians and visitors are encouraged to take precautionary measures to help reduce the chance of being bitten. Remember to drain and cover."
The Orange County case comes days after health officials reported another "imported" case in Brevard County
If a person is infected and bitten by a mosquito, that mosquito may later spread the infection by biting another person, officials said. If you experience symptoms of chikungunya fever, see a doctor immediately and protect yourself from more mosquito bites.
For more information on chikungunya, visit the Florida Department of Health or the Center for Disease Control.

SAP Access Control provides you with the option to create a supplementary rule. The rule gives additional information to prevent a false conflict in a segregation of duties (SoD) risk analysis report. Akansha Gupta outlines the steps you need to complete to enable the supplementary rule.
When organizations implement SAP HANA, they need to devise a strategy to protect the data that the system manages in memory. Depending on your SAP HANA use case, failure to protect this data can lead to significant monetary or productivity losses. Jonathan Haun explains that one way to protect the in-memory data is through the implementation of SAP HANA System Replication. SAP HANA System Replication is a solution provided by SAP that works with all certified SAP HANA appliance models. It also works with Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) configurations if you build your own system using TDI rules.

Breaking the Chains: Camps that Mentor Children of Prisoners
By the time Angulus D. Wilson was seventeen, he had been in jail at least a dozen times for petty misdemeanors and hard-core crimes such as assault with a deadly weapon. It was then, when he was incarcerated and attended a Bible study taught by a former Hells Angels gang member, that he started to turn his life around. The passage that made Wilson take a new direction in his life dealt with a farmer and the different soils he used to grow his seeds. Only the good soils, not the rough, hard, or thorny ground, could nourish the seed through its growth. And Wilson wanted to be good soil . . . (excerpt from the biography of Angulus D. Wilson)
Today, Rev. Wilson is the director of the Institute for Prison Ministries at the Billy Graham Center of Wheaton College and has spent the last fourteen years of his life inspiring youth, who are at risk, and those who mentor them to stand on good soil. Recently a featured speaker at THE OAKS Christian Camp and Conference Center in Lake Hughes, California, Rev. Wilson recognizes the amazing capacity for the camp experience to change the lives of inner-city youth in powerful ways. "Camp counselors and staff are doing such a great service to this under-privileged population, exposing them to another way of life instead of the urban jungles they come from," says Rev. Wilson. "It's phenomenal. Most kids in the inner city have never been out of the inner city. I read that most youth from the inner city live their lives in a ten-mile radius, never venturing anywhere else. At camp, there are no sirens, no drive-by shootings, no helicopters. Camp helps them to relax, rewind, and see the bigger picture."
Children of Prisoners: The Forgotten Victims of Crime
An estimated 2 million children across the U.S. know what it's like to have a parent behind bars. By every measure, prisoners' children are the most severely at-risk children and youth in America. Studies show that children of prisoners are five times more likely to end up in prison themselves (U.S. News & World Report, April 2002).
In a positive effort to stop the cycle of incarceration among children of prisoners, the camp experience has become a safe harbor. Prison Fellowship, a prison outreach and criminal justice reform organization founded in 1976 by Chuck Colson and former Virginia Attorney General Mark Earley, has been serving prisoners and their families through a unique program, Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree® Camping.
The Angel Tree Program
Angel Tree is a nationwide effort of Prison Fellowship designed to reach out to children whose parent or parents are incarcerated. Angel Tree is a year-round program that provides Christmas care, camp programs, and mentoring to the children of prisoners. In 2003, more than 525,000 children received Christmas gifts on behalf of their incarcerated parent through Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree®.
Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree® Camping is a ministry, stretching across the U.S., which helps connect a local church with the children of prisoners, as the church provides a summertime Christian camping experience. Local church volunteers sponsor children to attend a week of Christian camp and provide a backpack of helpful camp supplies for each child. All camp costs are covered by the participating churches and a special scholarship fund.
Shelley Hayes, Angel Tree Camping manager, helps design and implement the ministry, working with field offices and churches across the country. "Three years ago when the program began 7,300 children participated. This year the program has grown to 9,000 participating campers," states Hayes. "Providing an Angel Tree child a camp experience opens their world to new experiences. Often children affected by incarceration must step up to the plate and be primary caregivers to younger brothers and sisters. Camp offers them an opportunity to experience what typical kids might experience."
Angel Tree Camp: THE OAKS Christian Camp and Conference Center
"Our camp became involved three years ago with Angel Tree Camping. The organization offers a $195 scholarship to churches to send a child of a prisoner to camp," says Sean McFeely, program director. "We were the first camps on the West Coast to participate."
The camp reached out into the community through church networks to find these special children in need. "This camp experience gives the youth a chance to be among people where they are not the odd one out — where they are surrounded by other Angel Tree kids — all of them have a brother, sister, mother, or father who has done time. It's a part of life in the inner city," says McFeely.
Cross-Cultural Training
Rev. Wilson agrees with the importance of cross-cultural training for camp staff. "Realize the urban kid is coming into the camp counselor's classroom. Most inner-city kids are fearful of authority, the new camp environment, they are not trusting, and may appear to have attitudes, but those are external survival mechanisms that they have in place to survive in the city. If the camp counselor can break through those defense mechanisms, they can really reach the heart of the camper."
Camp Voorhis Viking Addresses the Need
Camp Voorhis Viking in Mammoth Lakes, California, an agency camp sponsored by the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Gabriel Valley, is meeting the needs of children with incarcerated parents or family members in the local area. "Our general agency focus has been to serve our community by reaching youth who have family members in prison," says Clay Hollopeter, director. "We continue to work with these children and be supportive of their unique needs. They often have feelings of discrimination and loss. All of those feelings that come when you don't have a parent."
Every summer, Camp Voorhis Viking offers camp experiences free of charge to Boys and Girls Club members through agency funds. The camp provides fifteen, six-day resident camp sessions — each session can accommodate forty campers: ten sessions for boys, three sessions for girls, and two sessions are coed. Campers can choose to attend more than one camp session.
The Healing Power of the Outdoor Setting
Becoming Who You Really Are
Planting Seeds in Good Soil
It may seem to be an insurmountable task to reach the 2 million at-risk youth who suffer the painful burden of having a family member or parent in prison. With camp programs like THE OAKS Christian Camp and Conference Center, Camp Voorhis Viking, and Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree® Camping, the camp experience continues to produce good soil, and as a result, strong seeds. "We must recognize that these kids are kids with problems and not problem kids. These are normal and resilient kids. With care, service, and patience, there is great hope for them," states Hollopeter.

Woman, Land and Nation: An Ecocritical Reading of Margaret Atwood's Poetry
The word "ecocriticism" was probably first used in William Rueckert's essay "Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism" (1978) and was subsequently accepted in critical vocabulary when Cheryll Glotfelty, at that time a graduate student at Cornell, revived the term in the meeting of the Western Literature Association in Coeur d'Alene in 1989, and recommended the use of the term to refer to the scattered critical field that had been known as "the study of nature writing." Glotfelty defines ecocriticism as "the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment. Just as feminist criticism examines language and literature from a gender-conscious perspective, and Marxist criticism brings an awareness of modes of production and economic class to its reading of texts, ecocriticism takes an earth-centered approach to literary studies." He further states that ". . . all ecological criticism shares the fundamental premise that human culture is connected to the physical world, affecting it and affected by it. Ecocriticism takes as its subject the interconnections between nature and culture, specifically the cultural artifacts language and literature. As a critical stance, it has one foot in literature and the other on land; as a theoretical discourse, it negotiates between the human and the nonhuman." (Glotfelty xviii). Simon Estok argues that ecocriticism is more than "simply the study of Nature or natural things in literature; rather, it is any theory that is committed to effecting change by analyzing the function–thematic, artistic, social, historical, ideological, theoretical, or otherwise–of the natural environment, or aspects of it, represented in documents (literary or other) that contribute to...

Imagine a farm that wasn't a farm. A farm that didn't use irrigation. One that lacked pesticides. Omitted fertilizer. Didn't use tilling.
Heck, it wouldn't even be planted year after year.
That's what our friend Tama is proposing:
Imagine a farm that wasn't a farm. A farm that didn't use irrigation. One that lacked pesticides. Omitted fertilizer. Didn't use tilling.
Heck, it wouldn't even be planted year after year.
That's what our friend Tama is proposing:
I'm thrilled to call Tama Matsuoka Wong a friend.
We met her briefly for the first time early in 2012 before having the pleasure of sharing a weekend with her and learning more about foraging. If her name or story isn't familiar to you, here's my 'Coles Notes': she lived all over the world as a lawyer before changing careers and becoming a forager.
But her story is better in her words than mine and, thanks you YouTube and TEDxManahattan (an independently organized TED event), you can see her share her story. She's vibrant, engaging, funny and passionate… about weeds:
If you want to learn more about Tama, philosophy or her book, check out our review from last year. It continues to inspire me.
We recently posted a series on urban gardens which included a picture of this school greenhouse:
Last night marked the 5th birthday of one of our favorite food fighting organizations – Not Far From the Tree. They are an amazing charity with a simple purpose: salvage as much as possible of the estimated 1,000,o00 pounds of fruit that rots on trees around Toronto.
[Read more…]
When Lilia Smelkova approached the microphone she exuded a quiet confidence that could have easily been mistaken for intimidation. She was standing in front of 450 passionate Chefs, Food Writers, Advocates and other Peers at Terroir 6. I had no idea what to expect and wasn't bracing for much.
Within seconds of speaking, I knew I had better be taking notes. Originally from Belarus, she had worked in Italy for 10 years with Slow Food before launching it into Canada, Eastern and Central Europe. Her resume (you can see more of her bio here) reads like that of a modern day food warrior – and she is. [Read more…]
The urban harvest is in full swing. Our city has already seen cherries (though a much smaller yield this year than previously), plums are coming through the urban orchard, mulberries are around, serviceberries have been spotted and sidewalks are getting stained everywhere. Urban fruit is being enjoyed across the city – and is wasting on lawns, trees and sidewalks around this city.
Please help us by raising awareness for the amazing work the Not Far From the Tree does by watching and sharing this video, sharing it and considering to volunteer or donate to the cause.
Click on the "YouTube" button to be brought to the homepage of the video on YouTube or click here for CanUrbOrg's homepage on YouTube where you can see other similar videos of amazing urban projects.
Not Far From the Tree are great friends of WellPreserved and have a simple mission:
They picked 20,000 pounds of fruit last year!
Dana helped design an infographic to show the teams progress from conception in 2008.
You can register to join a pick, register your tree, buy cool swag to support or donate to help the cause. The work they do is simply amazing and it happens because of people like you!
Our friends at Not Far From the Tree are heping champion an awesome project which is being led by FoodShare (another wicked program in our city) called The Great Big Crunch (you can read all of the details on the project here).
What's the deal? Imagine 65,000+ students across Canada biting into an apple at the exact same time!
The program is an initiative to help raise awareness of healthy eating, local diets and food awareness through our schools (though I plan to have a big 'ol bite and join along at 2:30EST this afternoon).
I'm particularly impressed at the amount of resources FoodShare has made available to teachers as part of the program. There's a very cool countdown clock here.
The hashtag on twitter is #gbc2011 (you can click on that for live updates from participants – even if you don't have Twitter). Foodshare can be found on Twitter here.
Regardless of where you're from, why don't you join along? Would love to know who's crunching with us (and check out the great resources linked above).
Hey! Did you know that there is approximately 1.5 MILLION POUNDS of fruit growing in TORONTO? There's a way to keep it from falling on the ground, making a mess and going to waste…before I tell you how you can help out…let's start with some background….
I'm a people person, and I like to work collaboratively…. Working on your own from home can be a challenge when the only one sharing your studio is the dog. That's why I have a tendency to pick projects based on who I'd like to spend time with, and who like to work as collaboratively as I do…and people who are passionate about the story they want to tell.
It's been a while since we've gushed about Not Far From The Tree.
If you are unfamiliar with this awesome Toronto non-profit, here's the Coles Notes version of what they do:
They picked more than 8,000 pounds last year. That's an abundance of free fruit and while it's Toronto-based those of you who are in other places could find a similar arrangement by talking with your neighbors. I don't know a single person who uses all of their fruit from a single tree (it can actually be overwhelming).
Speaking of Not Far From the Tree is organizing an annual fundraiser to get the year off to a running start. While they are always looking for volunteers, they are also looking for funding to help secure the time and materials for these harvests as well as their educational campaigns, public events and workshops.
The fundraiser takes shape in the form of a film screening and party. Tickets are a very reasonable $15 and those who purchase them in advance will benefit from a free drink ticket. Knowing that Chef Sharon Bergey (Jamie Kennedy Kitchens) has come up with a theme-inspired cocktail means that these tickets will be well worth having!
I should also mention that each encounter we've had with NFFTT has been full of friendly people who have been a whole lot of fun. There will likely be some lively discussion after the film and a lot of friendly people to share the experience with.
Here's the details:
Thursday, May 20th
At The Toronto Underground Cinema
186 Spadina Ave, entrance off Cameron Street, just north of Queen St W
Doors open at 6:30
Screening at 7:30
Reception following the film.
Advance tickets are $15 and include a cocktail
Tickets available for online purchase (http://guestlistapp.com/events/20325) or by calling (416) 908-3022.
Hope you enjoy – we're going to try to make it out – send us a message here or on Twitter if you are going and we'd love to say hi.
We started this series of posts in response to many things – an undeniable motivator (as previously shared) was the focus on poverty and eating well and a particular scene in Food, Inc which spoke to the cost of good food vs. `filler`. The entire series of affordable approaches to good food is here.
We have written about our friends at Not Far from the Tree several times (some of those are here and here). We simply adore them and have met many great people and friends through them. Their website is here.
The group was formed by Toronto resident (and New Brunswick native), Laura Reinsborough is a passionate advocate of our city, the environment, local eating and the intersection of all 3. Laura, along with a small army of volunteers, are changing our city.
The non-profit program started by offering a service to home owners with fruit trees. Fruit trees are lovely but can be a source of pain through their abundance – once you've eaten, shared and preserved all you can, the remaining fruit often drops to the ground, makes a mess, smells, attract flies, gets in the way of the lawnmower, etc. Not Far From the Tree will come to your house and clear your tree of all it's fruit. 1/3 of the fruit goes to the tree owner, 1/3 to the volunteers and 1/3 to charity.
They harvested 8,135 pounds of fruit downtown Toronto last year.
Now they've expanded their focus:
The program is largely one to make us think different about the urban forest, our city and food sources. The program is supported by the city (there had been initial reports of concerns that were completely overcome) and the group has tapped 12 urban Norway Maple trees to gather the syrup. There is a sugaring off party this Sunday, March 14. The event runs from 1-4pm (you can find the details here).
T-shirts are also available on their website.
I love the imagination of Laura and her team. I adore that there will be people gathered around a late winter harvest from within our city walls.
If you're in the area and want to meet some great people, be sure to pop by. We haven't planned our weekend yet but if we can make it, we'll be there…

Did you know that the most expensive movie to be created ever is Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds's End? The estimated cost to produce it was $300.000.000! A lot of people watch this movie!

Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)
Big news! It has just been announced that in June 2015 the first movie in a new TERMINATOR trilogy will be released! This is specially awesome since Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a part in it!
