Man impersonates undertaker to steal engagement rings from dead fiance
Lincoln Journal Star (Nebraska) says: "Lincoln police arrested Terry Kurtzhals on Tuesday on suspicion of impersonating a funeral director in an attempt to steal his dead fiancée's engagement rings. Kurtzhals, a 58-year-old convicted felon, also is suspected of voting in the Nov. 6 presidential election."
Eric says: I think I saw this whole "fake undertaker" story about three Wrestlemanias ago.
Man admits role in foiled, cat-related murder plot
The State Journal Register says: "Brett Nash of Pontoon Beach [Illinois] pleaded guilty Tuesday ... Investigators have identified the intended victim as a former corporate attorney who had long pursued a sexual relationship with Nash's wife. ... Nash explored a plan to force the intended victim into a hot tub and electrocute him by tossing in a radio and the man's cat, with the hope of misleading authorities into thinking he was accidentally killed by his pet."
Eric says: "Mr. Whiskers in the hot tub with the radio" is the new "Professor Plum in the study with Candlestick."
Dogs learn to drive cars
FOX 13 Tampa Bay says: "Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks -- a trainer in New Zealand is teaching man's best friend to drive ... The SPCA in Auckland thought it would be a good way to showcase how smart rescue dogs are and perhaps improve their adoption rate."
Eric says: I'll be riding shotgun with my head out the window.

grandmother, grandchild and dog represent hour, minute and second hands respectively
all images courtesy of BGM project
this wall clock by BGM project doesn't indicate time by number and hands. instead,
the figures of a grandmother, grandchild and dog represent the hour, minute and second hands.
silhouettes of nature and daily life are arranged around the clock, and each figure moves
through these scenes to represent the time.

paper model of the clock
I love this
this is fab, really inspiring
very deep idea, I love it, I want one
make it and i'll buy it
I really want one of these. Brilliant design!
Yes, please do tell where/when it is available for purchase.
i woudn't call it worthless..perhaps it is not intended for mass manufacture but definitely nice concept and can be developed into great design
i do not get it, it DOES indicate time by numbers and hands. the numbers are only NOT visible in this clock, and the hands are the figures.. so still it refers to the numbers on a 'normal' clock.. and that has been done before.. I do not see the 'greatness' of this idea..
excellent idea! loving!
RE: orli Tesler
Compared to a digital readout (which is supremely functional and can be done beautifully, artistically, economically/elegantly…) it is worthless.
However, it is a very nice art object (which there should be mass production of; art should not belong to the elite few…)
I take umbrage with this being promoted as a good design.
I think I may have just hit on the best delineation/definition of Art v. Design:
Design is demonstrably X
Art is Subjectively X
X= That which embodies elements of Efficacy, Efficiency, Elegance, Etc…
(Forthwith to be known as "The Four 'E's"! Can you tell I'm a fan of alliteration? Ha!)
amazing!!! really inspiring!!!
Hmm….time as a metaphor. Love it!
Conventional clocks may communicate, but what do they do to improve our understanding of life's function?
the more i look at it the more i love it

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Officials are continuing to investigate how a 20-month-old girl was able to ingest a fatal overdose of drugs early Sunday.
Various agencies were on the scene of 1308 Hobson St., the site of Sunchase Apartments, before 2 a.m. Sunday after the child, identified as Seanielle Washington, went into cardiac arrest, officials said. The case was turned over to the Dougherty District Attorney Child Death Team.
The team responds to any report of a juvenile death to determine the circumstances surrounding the fatality.
Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said Monday that authorities were still investigating which drugs Seanielle had ingested and how much she had ingested.
An autopsy was performed Monday. The forensic analysis was expected to include toxicology tests of her blood and urine.
When the results on those tests come back, officials are expecting to have more answers regarding what led to the child's death.
"We will then know how we want to proceed," Edwards said.
The date of birth for Seanielle provided by Edwards was January 2011.
The child's mother was the one who called for emergency assistance, Edwards said. Dougherty EMS responded along with the Albany Fire Department in reference to the cardiac arrest.
The Albany Police Department responded to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, where the toddler was pronounced dead, reports show.
chinaberry25 3 years, 2 months ago
It is sad that this had to happen. But the drugs were there, not of the child's doing. The parents are responsible.
VSU 3 years, 2 months ago
It's sad this child never got a chance at life and that this woman had this child and doesn't take care of them. It doesn't matter whether it was intent or accidental or whatever, the end result was a child's death.
cfcarroll64 3 years, 2 months ago
The child should not have had access to medications of any type and at time of the morning both the child and mother should have been asleep. And VSU is correct it is sad that the woman had the child did not have a chance at life when there are so many couples that would love to have a child and can't.

TEMPERANCE — Jeffrey Williams, director of sales & development for Tem- perance Distilling Com- pany, received a "20 Under 40 Leadership Recognition Award" last week during ceremonies at Seagate Center in Toledo.
The 17th annual pro- gram showcased young, dynamic leaders in north- west Ohio and southeast Michigan who are under the age of 40. Mr. Williams was chosen from among 82 nominees by an inde- pendent panel of judges.

Rochester's Chris Colabello takes a swing at a pitch during Saturday's home opener against Buffalo. Colabello batted .600 in four games last week.

Melky Mesa hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Scranton Railriders captured a 4-2 victory over the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Park in Moosic, Pa., Monday.
Rochester (1-4) looked to rally trailing 4-1 with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Clete Thomas drove a line-drive double to center to score Oswaldo Arcia and put Chris Colabello on third, but Joe Benson struck out swinging in the next at-bat to end any hopes of a comeback.

'Glee': Justin Bieber, Artie and Tina's break-up, and lesbian kisses?
If you missed the "Glee" panel at Comic Con, hold your slushies! We've got all the highlights for you from the event, which included a panel discussion with executive producers Ryan Murphy and Dante Di Loreto, and stars Jenna Ushkowitz, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Kevin McHale, Heather Morris, Naya Rivera.First of all, the room full of "Glee" fans were not happy when the cast referenced singing Justin Bieber songs in the episodes. Sorry, Biebettes! It doesn't look like "Somebody to Love" is going to find its way onto "Glee" any time soon -- unless you count Queen's song, which was performed in Season 1.Though the writers have said that Finn and Rachel will stick togther all season, the same can't be said for Artie and Tina. "We're writing an episode that I really like, where we find out that Tina has fallen out of love with Artie and in love with Mike," Murphy says.As for the love affair between BFF cheerios Santana and Brittany, Murphy says things are still up in the air. Murphy is writing an episode "where we're debating whether they should kiss."Naya Rivera loves the storyline. "I think it's amazing and neither of us expected to happen. We were just having fun together," she says. "I'm glad we have such a fanbase because we're best friends. We make out all the time.""Glee" is famous for its themed episodes, and one upcoming episode will feature plenty of solos for Mercedes. Murphy confirms, "We're working on an episode that's about religion, and we get to go with Amber's character to her church."More bits and bites:There will be another Madonna episode, though Murphy isn't sure when it'll happen.Chris Colfer doesn't have everything in common with Kurt: "I don't care for ten inch heels. I am just a huge, huge nerd," he says.Jenna Ushkowitz is a huge fan of "The Vampire Diaries."Kurt and his boyfriend will be Prom King and King.Morris' favorite Brittany one-liners: "My favorite was the gay sharks, or the mouse. It's a funny one. It's unexpected."They re-used props from the actual "Vogue" video for their recreation!The Britney Spears episode will be called "Britney Brittany." "We're doing it in a really fun, hallucinogenic way," Murphy says.If we weren't excited for Season 2 already, we certainly are now!Follow Zap2it and @cadlymack on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.Photo Credit: Getty

Townsville's population set to boom alongside economy
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- January 11, 2014
TOWNSVILLE's population could reach 600,000 within 30 years if the Federal Government's plans to develop northern Australia are tailored to promote rapid economic and population growth.
Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch, who is chairman of the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia, said he believed there was huge scope for population growth in the major cities in the region.
"There's no reason why the population can't treble in the next 30 years, taking the population of northern Australia from about 1 million to 3 million,'' he said.
"Although it's a big percentage increase, it's not unrealistic when you look at it purely from the numbers."
The committee will spend much of 2014 travelling the region meeting with local residents and business repres-entatives to find ways to encourage economic and population growth.
The trebling of the region's population has not been endorsed by the committee but Mr Entsch said rapid population increases should be expected if new jobs are created by slashing red tape and promoting investment.
"This isn't going to be about the Federal Government throwing a huge amount of cash around trying to bribe businesses and people to move up here," he said.
"What we need to do is get rid of the red tape that is stopping investment in the region."
Mayor Jenny Hill said she supported moves to boost Townsville's population to 600,000 but infrastructure funding would be needed from state and federal governments.
"There would need to be significant planning ... and a commitment from state and federal governments to fund that infrastructure," she said.
"There's economies of scale if we were to hit targets of around 500,000 or 600,000 people, so things like public transport can work far better than what we have now."
Mr Entsch said the Federal Government would contribute to infrastructure projects.
Regional economist Colin Dwyer estimates Townsville's current population is about 190,000, and he said the city was unlikely to grow to 600,000 within 30 years.
"That sort of growth would be much more achievable over a 50-year period," he said.
He said there would be both positive and negative consequences of such strong growth.
"There would be a lot more economic opportunities, but there would also be traffic jams and other growing pains from such a rapid increase in the population," he said.

Blessing all of North Qld Posted at 8:37 AM January 13, 2014
Well if is this the case population surge to 600.000 wee should think now to build better road , hospedal and better infrastructure for better lifestyle and better economy. To do all this wee need to be separate from south east. Be a separate state is mining economy will be 10 time better.all the money wee make will be spend for North qld to lift our economy. At moment all the money are controlled from Brisbane that is reopen wee not get our right share.the money will be spend in Brisbane. Support north qld new state.
CHARLES KACPERUK of HEATLEY Posted at 4:16 AM January 13, 2014
How could sufficient infrastructure and services be provided and assured if basics are under pressure now then? Tell me please.....
Trent of CQ Posted at 1:53 AM January 13, 2014
Hold the bus, the real purpose behind Northern Development is to spread the population out to where the work is focussed - on agriculture, green energy, minerals and the supply chain across vast amount of North Queensland that isn't heavily occupied. Townsville will still benefit as supply hub, but to grow to 600,000 without proper thought about mass transit and the environmental trade-offs of mass development is just silly. Look at what has happened with Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, plenty of people move their "for beach", but end up living a hour away and then have to 2hr commute to Brisbane for work every day.

I have same desgin like Max's book. ... I have seprate Data class instance for each client
Second problem is, when I create 15 client(threads) it works fine but above that I get exception (something like SocketFactory) but program ends proper way.
About exception I searched the forum and come to a conclusion that either my O.S(XP)or RMI has a bug. May be I am wrong.
System.setProperty("java.rmi.dgc.leaseValue", "10000");
My comprehension about it is that unreferenced() was called when Client unconnceted.
System.setProperty("java.rmi.dgc.leaseValue", "10000");why this sentence used?
if i use command rmiregistry instead LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1234);then unreferenced() would not be called?
Maybe what i need is some tutorial about interface Unreferenced.

Needing victory to clinch its first District 1-5A title in four years, Coronado High wasted little time. The second-ranked Thunderbirds scored 26 points before taking their seventh offensive snap of the night, riding a colossal 40-3 halftime edge to a 59-9 crown-clinching dismantling of Bel Air Friday night at Highlander Stadium.
"That's what we wanted," Coronado second-year head coach Bob Anderson said of his club's take-no-prisoners approach. "We challenged the kids to come out and play like they're playing a playoff game."
The Thunderbirds (6-1 in district, 8-2 overall) won't have to pretend by next Friday, where they're tentatively scheduled to meet District 2-5A third-place Abilene Cooper in Division 2-5A bi-district action, either in Midland or Odessa, at an expected 7 p.m. Mountain start. Montwood, Franklin and El Dorado, all tied for the three final playoff spots in the district, a game back of Coronado, will also be in action.
It is a big deal," said senior running back Bobby Chacon, whose 75 rushing yards -- including a three-yard touchdown -- in a half of action Friday pushed him past 1,000 for a third consecutive season. " I just wanna thank my teammates. I've never had this win in my life before and I couldn't have done it without them."
It actually took Coronado five plays to get its first points as senior quarterback Mickey Courtney (7-of-8 passing, 149 yards, 3 TDs) found Austin Edens on a quick hitch for an 18-yard score. A Josias Moreno 90-yard kickoff return, along with defensive tackle Josh Adams' sack and fumble recovery in the end zone, and touchdown receptions of 54 and 26 yards by Chris Stern made for a 26-3 T-Bird advantage with 90 seconds still left in the first quarter.

|Measurement of gastric-to-end-tidal carbon dioxide difference in neonates requiring intensive care.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22348539 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Objective: Gastric-arterial partial CO(2) pressure gap (P(g-a)CO(2) gap) measured by gastric tonometry may detect the disturbance of splanchnic perfusion. Since in the neonatal age it is very difficult to follow up the circulatory condition with frequent acid-base examinations, we wanted to compare the P(g-a)CO(2) gap with an alternative gap of P(g)CO(2)- end-tidal carbon dioxide (P(g)(-ET)CO(2)gap). Methods: A prospective study was performed on ventilated neonates requiring intensive therapy (n=44, weight: 1813±977 g). P(ET)CO(2) and P(g)CO(2) were measured with a side stream capnograph. We applied a newly developed gastric tonometric probe. Patients were divided into group 1 of patients in stable condition (n=35) and group 2 of patients with severe condition (i.e. CRIB score higher than 10; n=9). For main statistical analysis a mixed model repeated measurements ANOVA, Bland-Altman analysis were applied. Results: P(g)(-ET)CO(2)gap was higher than P(g-a)CO(2) gap (11.40±7.79 versus 3.63±7.98 mmHg, p<0.01). Both gaps were higher in group 2 (8.71±10.89 and 18.27±10.49 versus 2.53±6.78 and 9.92±6.22 mmHg, p<0.01 and p<0.05). Bland-Altman analysis of the two gaps showed an acceptable correspondence. Conclusions: P(g)(-ET)CO(2) gap may be used as a method for continuous estimation of splanchnic perfusion and a prognostic index also in critically ill neonates. However, the P(g-a)CO(2) gap should not be abandoned.

It may not be Thanksgiving yet, but there's just one week remaining until the Wednesday, Nov. 21 deadline to sign up to participate in the Red Bank Christmas Parade.
"It's a good little Christmas parade with Santa, and a good family outing," said Sonja Millard, who has been involved with the annual parade since it began about a decade ago.
She said anyone is welcome to enter a float, from groups and organizations such as sports teams, Scout troops and dance groups to local businesses.
Registration is free and the form can be completed online or dropped off at Red Bank City Hall, said City Recorder Ruthie Rohen.
"We want as much participation as we can get," she said of the parade, which will take place on Dayton Boulevard Dec. 7 starting at 6 p.m. "It's a good community event, and it's the first Friday in December, so it really kind of kicks off the holiday season as far as Christmas goes."

Frequently Asked Questions
You're never too old. Some of my most successful students are in their 60's and 70's. Age is irrelevant. Once you turn off your FAT Programs, your body switches into fat burning mode.
Yes, all the photos you see of me are 100% untouched and real. I lost 103 kilos and took photos to document my journey because my dream was to one day be able to help and inspire others to do the same.
The other photos you see are some of my students, all of whom sent in their photos to share with people like you who need inspiration. As you've probably noticed, I've helped young people, older people, and everyone in between.
Yes, the Gabriel Method has helped thousands of men and women lose weight and keep it off. This is not about age or gender, it's about understanding your body's biochemistry and getting it to want to be thin.
As long as your body wants to store fat, it will, and the moment your body wants you to be thin, it will force you to be thin. Weight loss times vary from person to person. Some people lose weight slowly and steadily, some people lose weight extremely quickly—sometimes very very fast.
Remember, this is NOT crash diet or a fad diet. This is about losing weight and keeping it off for life. So if it takes 1 month or 6 months or even a year or more—that's just great. You'll enjoy the entire process, never diet again, and move toward a happier, healthier you.
The Gabriel Method is NOT a diet, correct, but I will go ahead and show you in the comparison chart below what you can expect with my method versus most fad diets.
So I compiled this little comparison table to show you, and just in case you were interested, here it is.
No, the Gabriel Method is NOT diet. It's not about meal plans, hardcore exercise, calorie counting or restrictions. The Gabriel Method is all about getting your body to want to be thin by turning off your FAT Programs.
The Gabriel Method is not like anything you've ever tried before, and the results that my students have experienced are truly amazing.
Keep in mind, this method is also being used by medical doctors, mothers, fathers, teenagers, and people just like you all over the world. So if you've tried other programs and failed, it's very likely this method can help you.
Dieting doesn't work. If it did, you'd already be thin (because if you're like me, you've tried and failed with many diets).
Starving and restricting yourself turns on your FAT Programs making your body want to be fat—and if your body wants to be fat, it's almost impossible to lose weight.
The Gabriel Method gets to the root of the cause and helps turn off your FAT Programs; and as a result, your eating habits and choices change naturally.
Please see the results for yourself: SUCCESS STORIES
Yes, I have been a featured guest and guest speaker on dozens of TV programs, in magazines, on the radio, and in newspapers in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the United Sates. To watch some of my videos, please go here: WATCH VIDEOS
The Gabriel Method works great for all weight loss, 5 kilos or even 100 kilos. It's not about how much or how fast, it's all about getting your body to want to be thin.
This program is backed by a 100% guarantee which means that if for any reason (or no reason at all) you are not happy with the Gabriel Method any time in the next 60 days, just send us an email for a prompt and complete refund. No catch, nothing to mail in or return, and no risk to you at all.
Visualization is a very simple and powerful way to turn off your FAT Programs. In my research, I discovered the importance of "seeing" your ideal body, your ideal shape. In my program, you'll listen to my visualization recording. You don't have to do anything—just listen—and the power of visualization will begin to work in your life too.
Many people are initially scared by the concept of eating without restriction. You have worked hard to learn what foods are "good" and what foods are "bad"… I know I spent years trying to figure it out.
Since you're reading this now, I'm guessing that like me, your learning hasn't fixed the problem. Your body wants to be fat right now, and counting calories or starving yourself is not going to help. In fact, it'll actually make things worse.
Using the Gabriel Method, you'll learn how to add foods, not subtract, to give your body what it needs. Your eating habits will change, yes, but it'll happen naturally, without any forcing or suffering.
Many people don't even realize what's happening, they just add some great foods to their diet, and the less healthy stuff just drops away effortlessly. This is truly an anti-diet solution.

Jon used (and continues to use) supplements and superfoods to help nourish his body. Many Gabriel Method students find that certain supplements and superfoods can really help them during their transformation, but they are not at all required or necessary and should never be thought of as "diet pills" or requirements for success. They are just one of many tools you have at your disposal.
Yes, it's always best to check with your doctor before beginning any new change in diet including supplementation.
Yes, after opening, it's best to refrigerate for maximum potency.

The US FDA does not regulate food supplements (they are considered food). Instead, it regulates the manufacturing practices and all Gabriel Method formulas are produced in the USA in US FDA approved facilities under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Spirulina is a plant, just like broccoli, so while it's technically impossible to overdoes, if you take too much, you might simply have an upset stomach. 1-3 grams daily (2-6 capsules) is an average dose.
Gabriel Greens is a whole food meaning you can take it whenever it's convenient for you. You can take the capsules on their own, or you can open them up and mix with water and lemon for a nice beverage.
Just like if you ate 3 plates of salad in one go, eating too much spirulina can give you gas, especially if you are not used to it. To prevent gas, simply take smaller doses at first, and slowly work up to 2-3 grams per day.
Yes, it's always best to check with your doctor before beginning any new change in diet including supplementation.

Take 2 capsules just before a meal.
Poor diet can often lead to impaired enzyme production, meaning your body struggles to create the enzymes it needs for proper digestion.
No, in many cases, Total Digestion will help to alleviate gas.
Rave Reviews
"If every person was given this book no one would be obese"
If every person was given this book, no one would be obese. It would be an epidemic of the past. It almost seems sad people are dying because of obesity when it's so simple to be thin!
(Alannah Cadman, New Zealand)
"Since listening to your CD every night, I don't feel hungry at all"
I have been struggling with my weight for the past ten years… I could not understand because I don't eat desserts, cakes, chocolate or sweets and I cook most of my food. After reading your book I realized that I was actually nutrient deficient. Since I have been listening to your CD every night, I don't feel hungry at all.
(Beverly Lewis, South Africa)
"I was so impressed by my results with Jon's Method"
I was working at radio station 4BC when Jon came on to our breakfast show at my request as a producer for several shows. I was so impressed by my own results with Jon's Method that I wanted to get him on air.
(Michelle Turnbull, Australia)
"My whole relationship with food has changed"
WOW! I read [the book] over two nights, couldn't put it down. It was like the penny had dropped, after three days of listening to your meditation CD, my whole relationship with food changed... I can't explain my extra energy, my ability to handle my very stressful job is so much easier, I'm happier and more confident.
(Brenda Black, New Zealand)
"I am astounded at the changes that I have made in my life"
I cannot remember the last time I felt so alive, fulfilled, and happy. When I read your book it was as if you knew me better than I knew myself. It is amazing that more be people have not made the connection that a healthy lifestyle consists of taking care of the mind, body, and soul, instead of just the body...
(Kenn Paquette)
"I don't crave sugar at all anymore"
Since I've read your book and listened to you CD, I've been craving dark green leafy veggies, and I've also slowed way down on sugar. As a matter of fact I don't crave sugar!
My daughter is doing great too. We both have committed to following your lifestyle. I tell everyone I see about your book and CD. Thank you so much.
"The Gabriel Method is groundbreaking and self-empowering"
You have brought together a multitude of aspects and created a truly holistic 'treatment' that is more a new lifestyle and at a time of raised awareness where it all makes such intuitive and rational sense.
(Julie U, Australia)
"I have made positive changes in all aspects of my life"
I am feeling so much more energetic already as I gradually introduce more live foods and nutrients into my body. Your desire to share your wealth of knowledge and amazing success with weight loss is what is so inspiring to me and I'm sure will be to millions of others around the world.
(Laura Nally, Australia)
"I'm no longer hungry, just content!"
… for the first time in over 20 years, I am not hungry. I feel content - just very different. For some reason, I don't seem to require a lot of food. My portion sizes have gotten smaller. I don't measure them out, but I look at what's on my plate and it really is a small amount. I just don't feel that I need it. I don't crave sweets either and I'm a chocoholic - at least I was one. Now I can take it or leave it.
(Liz Bay)
"My energy levels and stamina have increased exponentially"
After following your method I can now get back into some of my old "skinny" clothes, which is fabulous! PLUS I am eating a lot more and exercising less! So, Jon...a big THANK YOU. How wonderful for you to be able to help people in this way!
(Janet Mitchell, Australia)
"I now understand what my body wants"
Your work has helped me in at least two ways: first, since my husband died 20 months ago, I added 15 pounds and have slowly lost it over a year...but it would keep coming back in 2-3 pound lots. I now know why I gained the weight and how to take it off without cycling through diets and most of all without 'working' at it.
(Virginia Burton)
"Your approach is enlightening"
The whole approach is enlightening, very interesting and humorous, so it was a joy to listen to. Many thanks for a great, commendable program, Jon. I am telling everyone all about you.
(Marianne Hale, USA)
"I have finally found the holistic weight-loss approach I was looking for"
I have FINALLY found the holistic approach to weight loss that I have been searching for. Your method is the first holistic approach that has made sense to me. Thank you so much.
(Kathy Namaste, USA)
"I can say with confidence that my weight will continue to fall off me"
The Gabriel Method is the most amazing process… our bodies work the way they work. I have been using this method for a month, cut back my walking by half and people are asking me what diet I am on! I have complete pleasure in telling them I am on no diet and letting my body get me to where I need to be.
(Karen, New Zealand)
"Your ideas are revolutionary"
I've applied visualization techniques using your CD for the first time last night and I'm feeling a big difference from within today.
(Clint, USA)
"I am finally giving my body a chance to live"
I find I am no longer obsessing about food all day. I have had chocolate bars and cake in the house all week and I have paid no attention to them (normally they would pray on my mind all day until they were gone, and still I would not be satisfied).
Gone are the days of constant dieting, taking pills and shakes and feeling guilty about food. I now have a powerful tool (my mind) just took someone like yourself for me to realize it was always there for me and will work for me when I truly need it to. Any doubters out there I say, give it a go! You have nothing to lose but weight which has held you back from the true sense of living.
"Not only have I lost 8kg in a month, but I feel alive again"
I was given The Gabriel Method book about a month ago. I had some skepticism about this new dieting fad. How wrong I was. I had given up on the idea that one day I could be thin again, however, I read the book in one weekend and as they say, I had a light bulb moment, where I finally realized why I was overweight. It has been a month now and not only have I lost 8kgs, but I am alive again, and it has been noticed by everyone around me. I am smiling and have a passion for life again.
(Mia Howard, USA)
"I am finally seeing results!"
Bless you Jon and your soothing voice that sends me to sleep everynight! No insomnia since I started listening to the CD and after too many years of being overweight, I am finally seeing results! :)
(Toni-Marie Burns-Cimijotta)
"I lost 9 kgs in two months"
I started to follow The Gabriel Method book and two months later I have lost 9 kgs. At this time I have not done any exercise due to having arthritis. My aim is to lose another 15kgs & I believe it's going to happen..Jon Gabriel you are a God send!
(Mohammad Carson)
"Brilliant and Insightful"
I love The Gabriel Method book..it brings together many concepts I have studied for years and have not been able to collate in a usable way..brilliant and insightful.. Jon is light-years ahead of the world and since I started listening to the CD at night time, I have lost another 4 kg. My body and mind loves this. Of all the books I have read, this one shows a truth my body understands.
(Susan Morkovsky)
"I'm down from a size 18 to a 10/12 in four months"
I started listening to The Gabriel Method visualization/meditation at the end of August. Four months later, I'm down from a size 18 to a 10/12. I have lost almost 40 lbs. I didn't change much other than to add some walking 5 days a week which I haven't even done for 2 months since the snow started and I'm still losing weight.
(Anne Jensen)
"I sleep better, feel better and want to eat better"
I have read The Gabriel Method book in the last 2 weeks, and what a change to my life! I am about 70kg overweight, but have discovered that losing weight is really a change of mindset about your life and food. I lost 2.2kg since I started reading the book and listening to the CD every night. I sleep better, feel better and want to eat better already. I was a chip(crisps)aholic and have not craved any in about 3 weeks now - that alone is a miracle!
(Roshette Badenhorst Van Rensburg)
"Reprogramming the mind makes so much sense"
I just started reading The Gabriel Method book and it is like Jon is talking directly to me and telling me, Hey Jeff, you are not alone and this will work for you. I am thankful to Jon for writing this book. Finally there is something that I can actually do to lose weight - reprogramming the mind makes so much sense to me!
(Jeff Devitt)
"WOW! I am amazed at the results"
I was a little skeptical when I first came across this book but I thought, what have I got to lose, I'll read it & listen to the CD anyway and see what happen.WOW! I am amazed at the results! I lost 1kg in the first week but the biggest change has been a mental one. I am no longer craving sweet things or worried about food all the time and I find that I am wanting to exercise and eat natural healthy foods.
(Sharon Fatseas)
"I no longer have food addiction"
I am a huge fan of your work which has been inspiring and has helped me a lot. As a biology student your ideas make perfect sense to me and explained a lot about why I am the size that I am. Before your book I was obsessed with eating and I couldn't stop thinking about. After incorporating your ideas into my life I no longer have this food addiction except if I am stressed or not eating right. It is surprising how predictable my body has become! Thanks for sharing your ideas with me and the rest of the world.
(Noha Ana)
"I believe in the power of visualization."
I downloaded The Gabriel Method CD and listen to it every night. It has been miraculous for me. I just can't think of any other way to describe it. I believe in the power of visualization and this has been another reminder of the powerful link between mind and body. I lost 1kg in my first week and found myself exercising every day and eating much healthier food.
(James Ian Marshall)
"I know that I will achieve my ideal weight"
I've been on The Gabriel Method for three weeks now and have noticed that my belt notch has decreased one notch which is about 2 cm! I don't even show the slightest interest in cakes, biscuits or other 'party' foods and only eat my three main meals (most days), and I now drink a lot more water. I used to not eat breakfast and constantly obsess over food. It was the true 'famine' syndrome. I know that I will achieve my ideal weight.
(Kerrie Falconer)
"I catch myself dancing and whistling!"
Two weeks and 6.5 pounds down, I'm feeling great, have a new attitude, am much less cranky and I am catching myself dancing and whistling! ME! As great as all of this is, the aspect of that I find the most surprising is the amount of detoxing my body has gone through.
(Sarah Morris-Martin)
"I'm starting to feel like a THIN person"
I bought the book a week ago, read it that night and wow, it sure did put a lot of "stuff" into perspective about food, weight gain and weight retention. I immediately started to implement "whole foods" and I really don't feel like eating rubbish at all. I'm enjoying real food, which is good for me and I am already starting to feel like a thin person, because the weight is falling off.... I am feeling so much better, thank you Jon!
(Kate Morris)
"I feel better and don't crave sugar"
A week into doing The Gabriel Method I feel better already. I don't crave sugar, am eating fruits and veggies and am feeling great! Thanks Jon!
(Betty Blake)
"The Gabriel Method is truly amazing"
The Gabriel Method truly is amazing! My cravings are subsiding and I feel so much healthier. The CD is the key for me. I started it on July 31 and have lost 7lbs so far! This is miraculous for me, after exercising 7 days a week and counting every calorie I was losing about 1 lb per week. Now, my first week and NO exercise I lost 7lbs! Thank you Jon Gabriel!
(Kristen Berntzen McKenzie)
"Finally a solution that addresses the real issues"
I just finished The Gabriel Method book. It's been 3 days since I got it and started reading and listening to the CD. My mindset is changing. My cravings are changing. I don't want sugar (amazing for me) anymore. I'm so glad to be ending the struggle once and for all. Finally a solution that addresses the real issues instead of throwing diets at it.
(Meredith Hilton Pond)
"I am feeling like a Queen "
I am in awe at how well I am sleeping- I'm feeling like a Queen and even exercising with mighty enthusiasm. Visualizing and the mind connection are saving my life. Thanks a million, Jon.
(Rosa Oquendo)
"I have lost 7 kgs in 2 weeks! "
I owe a lot to Jon Gabriel and it's only been 2 weeks since I started this way of life. I have lost 7 kgs, never feel hungry and now really feel like eating the right foods all the time.148 kg to 141 kg in 2 weeks. This is the start of my journey, thank you Jon Gabriel.
(Chris Commane)
" My body just turned off the stomach switch! "
I have just finished reading The Gabriel Method book, and listened to the meditation CD tonight for the first time. The thing that amazes me most so far is how full I feel after eating a fraction of what I'm used to! It's like my body just turned off the stomach switch! There's a full cheesecake sitting in the fridge (normally something I'd sit down and eat in about ten minutes) and it's just plain uninteresting. Amazing after only a few days of knowing about this book!
(Amanda Hager)
"The Gabriel Method shows why diets don't work "
Great work Jon. You show why diets don't work an explain how to lose weight and keep it off. This message needs to be heard! Too many people are getting ripped off by fad diets and useless infomercial products which promise instant weight loss but promote long-term weight gain. The only way to fix any problem is to fix the cause. You show how to do that! Keep up the great work
(Joe Amoia)
"For the first time ever I feel like there is hope"
I bought The Gabriel Method book this week, downloaded the CD and have used it every night since. Already I notice I am much more positive, not just about weight loss, but I'm noticing that things that would normally stress or tire me, simply don't! Also I'm finding I just don't feel like eating the foods I would normally go for, and am wanting the healthier options. If this has happened in only 3 days, I figure it's only going to get better. For the first time ever I feel like there is hope.
(Sharon King)
"My insulin intake has now dropped to 20 units…"
My insulin intake has now dropped to 20 units morning and night from 60-64 last January. My general health has much improved and I am slowly, but surely, losing weight – 15 kilos up-to-date. My specialist is delighted and asked for the name of the book to read for himself.
(Gillian Churchill)

It was the most inspiring weight loss book I have ever read, and believe me, I've read a ton! It helped me figure out why I was holding on to that unwanted fat and helped me convince my body that I no longer needed it. I lost the weight with no extreme surgery or exercise. Thank you so much for writing this book, I have recommended it to so many people!

This gives you a good approximation of the current length (circumference) of the collar needed. If the collar is for a kitten, remember that it grows quickly, so it is important to check the tightness of your collar often and replace it with a larger one as soon as it becomes too tight.

A bad workman blames his tools, and so it is that Toby McCasker questions his latency.
By Toby McCasker on May 21, 2014 at 3:18 pm
I'm crap at games, but I'm not that crap. Man, if you play shooters for this long, it's almost impossible not to be kind of OK at them. And yet there I am, getting shot up. Sometimes, yeah, I was eating chips and not giving a care. Sometimes though, I know what's up because — the firefight I just bafflingly lost? Very obviously the product of lag.
"Lag," someone said the other night, "is the great decider in modern online FPS games. There is no skill," they asserted. "Only lag, and not-lag." If that's true that sucks for me, because my internet is worse than an itchy butt.
I find this idea of lag being the great decider in online FPS skills even more troubling than the questions my own itchy butt raises. It hadn't really occurred to me until this nameless internet person insisted on its power. Could it be true? I think back to the number of times I swore I had the jump on that dude, but he aced me first somehow. Then I look over at the girlf breathlessly streaming Vampire Diaries or whatever she's into and Hmmm, yeah, OK. This whole Illuminlaggy conspiracy might have some triggerlegs.
So I started thinking about how to beat lag at its own game — its own game being to ruin my game. Just short of "moving next door to a telecommunications provider and making friends with them," I have decided to develop my psychic powers. It seems the only way to slay is to become Jean Grey and avoid the movies of Michael Bay / Hey, my favourite character in Neon Gen is Rei / What's yours? Don't bother, I know what you're gonna say / Asuka FTW, and that's OK / Redheads, you know, their lovin' is like Fri-day / I'm sorry Tim.
So as I was saying before I mysteriously rapped to you about underage anime babes, I have begun the practice of reading my opponent's minds. Now personally I don't believe psychic powers are possible. You should read this, it's hilarious. What I do believe is possible is noting behavioural patterns in certain contexts and mentally quantifying them. It is absolutely bizarre how similarly so many FPS players behave in situations common to the genre, and how so many of them will freak out in exactly the same way when confronted with the uncommon antics of a man on a bad lag wire.
It's why the guy who immediately doubles back and comes charging at you after you get the drop on him more often than not succeeds in his kamikaze madness. Used to succeed, anyway. Interestingly, this sudden guns-to-the-wind approach has become normalised. I see it all the time now where once it was startling, just as I see you, guy with awesome connection, waiting 'round the bend until after the tell-tale click of my parched killstick has sounded. I will be holding this live grenade tight.

Alumni Entrepreneur Spotlight:
For the past few years, Nicholas Howell (class of 2004) and fellow alum Peter Murray (class of 2005) have been building a financial technology, LifeCounts (www.lifecounts.com), which launched for public use in January 2013. LifeCounts is a standalone, online platform that allows users to optimize their financial data for greater clarity and control. A simple, one-time setup enables users to securely view all of their financial accounts in one place even if the accounts are from different financial institutions. The platform reinforces sound financial decision making by providing alerts, notifications and budgeting advice that help users make meaningful adjustments to their finances.
Nicholas and Peter met while assigned as project partners for an undergraduate business course at Santa Clara University. One evening while studying for an exam, they debated and discussed company building, leadership and the critical role of consciously driven, for-profit organizations in the business community. A near decade later, they find themselves continuing such conversations and working to turn those theories into reality.
After graduation, Nicholas spent several years in Silicon Valley in financial advisory roles to technology companies working on private financing, mergers and acquisitions and corporate strategy. He left banking to develop his engineering skills, both in studies at Columbia University and participation in live enterprise environments. Peter was commissioned as an infantry officer in the Army following his graduation and spent four years honing leadership and operational skills during his service.
The two reconnected following Peter's return from a 14-month deployment to Iraq, and their reconnection coincided with the aftereffects of the financial crisis, the wake of which revealed a deep need affecting nearly every segment of society. "LifeCounts was designed to solve a real problem facing nearly every consumer by helping them better understand their personal finances," said Peter. Though technology has made accessing account balances virtually effortless, challenges such as paying bills on time, reducing debt and saving for the future remain present burdens for many households. "Though LifeCounts is not the first product of its kind, many people are still searching for greater financial transparency, and an intuitive, secure and private platform can help them achieve their financial goals," said Nicholas.
Both Nicholas and Peter credit SCU with reinforcing their approach to conscious-focused business building. At a time when consumer-direct software companies are increasingly inclined to deliver their products for free and then sell, rent or share aggregated data and advertising placement to marketers and third parties, the LifeCounts team is working to establish a new and trusted level of responsible data management and consumer advocacy. LifeCounts distinguishes itself by offering paid subscriptions that provide users with a secure and private experience without any data distribution or any advertisements. All data and computing operations are done in-house, and because of the sensitive nature of the information stored, the entire LifeCounts experience is managed and stored on company-owned and operated servers and is protected by overlapping layers of bank-level security.
Actively engaged in their next stage of fundraising, the two have been fortunate to surround themselves with a cadre of like-minded investors and team members that are committed to developing technologies that enhance quality of life.

The Edinburgh Festival 2012's Funniest Comics Share Their New Jokes!
The sheer utter amazingness of the Edinburgh Festival – which started last week – doesn't take a lot of explaining.
Basically, it's the country's finest comedians performing in a series of random locations across a city where you can drink 24 hours a day. For one whole month.
With that in mind, we thought we would celebrate this mammoth event by getting seven of our favourite stand-up comedians – all of whom are doing brand new shows in the Scottish capital this month – together in a pub for a few beers.
Needless to say, when they started telling us what it is that makes the Festival so great/bizarre/exhausting, there was a fair bit of laughter…
Seann Walsh
All hair and laughter
"If you walk down any street in Edinburgh during the month of the Festival, you will see someone getting a handjob outside a Greggs. If you cheer, they'll cheer back!
As for crowds, the biggest difference is that you get a lot more sleeping people. They've been drinking since 11am, so by the time I'm on, there are rough-looking men in polo shirts dribbling in the crowd who look like they should be at the football but have turned up at the wrong event. I can imagine four teen girls in the away end at Celtic, screaming 'This is terrifying!'"
Festival funny
"I hate TOWIE. It doesn't matter what pattern a lady's vajazzle is – when you run your hand over that, it's brail for slag."
Seann will be performing nightly at the Pleasance Beyond at 7.50pm

Wall Street eases back from record territoryComment on this story
New York - US stocks edged lower on Tuesday, easing back from record territory a day earlier as weak economic data offset gains in Home Depot and other retail shares.
Seven out of the 10 S&P 500 sector indexes ended lower, led by financials and industrials, while consumer discretionaries led on the upside.
The day's data showed gains in US home prices slowed in December, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller index, while the consumer confidence index fell more than expected in February.
Selling picked up slightly late in the session as traders unwound positions after the S&P 500 failed to break above Monday's intraday record high of 1,858.71, analysts said. The index remained in negative territory, down 0.2 percent, for the year.
"We tried to break out again and retest the highs, and since we failed, people are lightening up their positions they took earlier," said Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Home Depot shares jumped 4 percent to close at $80.98, giving the biggest boost to both the Dow and the S&P 500. Home Depot's earnings beat expectations, though sales fell more than expected in the fourth quarter.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 27.48 points or 0.17 percent, to end at 16,179.66. The S&P 500 slipped 2.49 points or 0.13 percent, to finish at 1,845.12. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.38 points or 0.13 percent, to close at 4,287.587.
Shares of Macy's gained 6 percent to $56.25 after the department store operator reported a drop in January sales, but said fourth-quarter earnings rose from the previous year.
While many analysts have pinned the weakness to harsh winter weather rather than deteriorating fundamentals, the retail earnings suggest that spending has not dried up.
"There are a couple of credible pieces of information that didn't get caught in the snow drifts," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at D.A. Davidson & Company in Lake Oswego, Oregon. "Consumers are spending."
The S&P retail index rose 1.9 percent, while the consumer discretionary index gained 0.5 percent.
Investors are anxious to hear from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, who is due to speak on Thursday to the Senate Banking Committee in her semiannual testimony about monetary policy. Her comments will be scoured for insight into how bad weather has affected economic activity, as well as for confirmation that the Fed will not change its schedule for trimming stimulus.
Among other corporate results, Tenet Healthcare late on Monday swung to a net loss in its fourth quarter. Tenet's adjusted earnings, however, were better than expected. Its stock slid 9.1 percent to close at $43.93.
Perry Ellis International Inc shares tumbled 17.5 percent to $12.93, their lowest level since late 2011, a day after the clothing company forecast a decline in quarterly revenue.
After the bell, shares of First Solar dropped 12.3 percent to $50.90 after the solar panel maker reported that its fourth-quarter net income fell 58 percent.
About 6.7 billion shares changed hands on US exchanges, below the 7 billion average so far this month, according to data from BATS Global Markets.
Decliners outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange by a ratio of 8 to 7. On the Nasdaq, nearly eight stocks fell for every five that rose. - Reuters

Infineon seen close to selling cell chip business to Intel
updated 10:45 am EDT, Fri July 9, 2010
Infineon Intel deal rumored to be worth 1.4b
Rumors that Intel would buy Infineon's cellular chip business gained fuel on Friday as Germany's Die Welt claimed that a deal is close. The two firms have purportedly met several times in the past two weeks and are tentatively at a price of between $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion. No contract has been signed, but the two are now believed nearer to a deal than not.
Infineon CEO Peter Bauer is thought to have been opposed to a deal in principle, but the company's operating losses last year may have pushed the leader to consider a deal. The mobile wireless group is believed to be swinging back to a profit, but it might not do so quickly enough to avoid a deal. In the competitive marketplace, Infineon is relatively small compared to giants such as Broadcom and Qualcomm.
A move could also be necessary as Infineon may have lost some business from Apple, one of its core customers. The iPad still uses Infineon 3G chipsets, but early examinations of the iPhone 4 show that Apple has likely switched chipsets for iPhones to Broadcom. Any chipsets for a CDMA iPhone would also have to come from a company like Qualcomm.
Neither of the involved companies has been willing to comment.

Holiday stocking stuffers are generally inexpensive, but if you have a lot of people to shop for, they can add up. Here are some tips that will help you save money (and time) this Christmas.
First, try shopping at stores that offer bonus gift cards and freebies for shoppers. If you'll be buying gifts anyway, you can score some stocking stuffers without spending any extra money. Last Christmas, stores like L.L.Bean, Lush, and Half Price Books all gave out $5 to $10 gift cards with a minimum purchase. Best Buy has even offered cards in exchange for old cellphones.
The dollar store can be great place to find stocking stuffers, too, but make sure to focus on things that don't need to be high quality -- like candles, bath products and arts supplies. Puzzle books are actually a great bargain at dollar stores, as they can cost up to $7 in discount stores.
Finally, while cheap gifts can be good, FREE gifts are even better. Department stores are constantly giving out complimentary samples of perfume and makeup, so be on the lookout for these while shopping.
This Christmas, keep these tips in mind when shopping. You'll trim the cost of stocking stuffers and leave more cash in your pocket for the new year.

has made its way in to the visual vocabulary of almost every world culture. Originating in Heliopolis Egypt, it is thought that they were first used in pairs at the entrance to shrines and temples, similar in concept to Jachin and Boaz. There are only 26 known ancient obelisks still in existence. The Heliopolis Obelisk is the oldest in the world; it is the only remaining obelisk in Heliopolis. These ancient obelisks were admired so by subsequent cultures that most were taken as trophies and moved to other cities in the West. The Obeliscus Vaticanus sits in the middle of the plaza in front of St. Peter's at the Vatican. It is sometimes called the tomb of Caesar because his ashes were once believed to be contained within the sphere on top. In our earliest records of this obelisk, the first Roman Emporor Augustus had it erected in Alexandria. Like only two of the others, it has no hieroglyphics. Because of this, some believe it was not an actual ancient Egyptian obelisk, but a replica made by the Romans. Most of the surviving ancient Egyptian obelisks are now in Rome. There is one ancient obelisk located in New York City, it is known as Cleopatra's Needle. It stands in Central Park. Its companion obelisk, which bears the same name, is located in London.
Throughout history, the Obelisk has been appropriated for use in memorials. The most famous modern example here in the states would be the Washington Monument. Begun in 1848, construction was disrupted by the American Civil War. It was not completed until 1884. The Washington Monument is still the world's tallest obelisk.
When I sought an ideal for a towering monument, the obelisk form was my immediate inspiration. When I searched for a design form both modern and uniquely New York, this led to my Eureka insight that produced my final design concept.

December 1, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - The new $100 bill, with an array of high-tech features designed to thwart counterfeiters, will get its coming out party on Tuesday, partial government shutdown or not.
The Federal Reserve, which has not been affected by the shutdown, will have armored trucks rolling from its regional banks around the country headed to banks, savings and loans and other financial institutions with the new C-notes.
The bills took more than a decade to develop and the introduction was plagued by production problems that set back the rollout by 2½ years. But officials say the problems have now been fixed.
Some bank customers could start seeing the new bills by Tuesday afternoon depending on how close their bank is to a regional Fed facility.
