Blog Update – New Host, New Look and Feel at justinholman.com
Dear Blog Readers,
Thank you for following my blog! The last couple months have been a lot of fun and I've decided to upgrade my blog from WordPress.com to a hosted WordPress.org site with a new theme.
Please visit the new blog site at justinholman.com.
I hope you like the new look and feel but please let me know in the comments section if you have any suggestions for improvement.
In the transition some of my links to you may have been broken. So I apologize if you've needed to re-subscribe or reconnect to a particular comment thread. Please feel free to leave a comment on this post if you're experiencing any problems. Also, this WordPress theme has many more options for displaying images, etc. So I'm sure things will get shuffled around a bit for at least a few days.
Thanks again for reading. Please let me know if you have any questions or ideas for new blog posts!
All best,
Schools are Teaching our Children to be Sedentary and Obese
I recently read an interesting article in the New York Times entitled "Is Sitting a Lethal Activity"? While I was reading the article it occurred to me that most schools are rewarding the most sedentary children and punishing children whose bodies are doing everything they can to get the exercise they need.
My son is one of those "wiggly" kids. He's a 2nd grade student, "all boy", and he has always struggled in school to "keep still" and "sit quietly". Things are better this year because we enrolled him in a Montessori school where he has more freedom to move around but it's still an issue. In the public school he attended for Kindergarten and 1st grade we were always hearing from his teachers, even his gym teacher, that he needs to exercise better self control in class – meaning he has trouble sitting still and listening to them lecture. Wouldn't it be ironic if his "problem behavior" was actually a much healthier way to conduct himself?
How I Deal with my Fear of Public Speaking – 10 Steps that Help me Stay Cool During Presentations
In college I was terrified of being called on during class discussions. In grad school, I would be a nervous wreck before presentations, even in small seminars. It didn't get much better until I figured out a preparation process and an approach to presentations that worked for me. Probably the biggest thing is just doing more presentations in general to become more practiced and comfortable. Fortunately, I've had the opportunity to gain experience. I still get nervous, maybe more than others and especially if it's a big deal or a big crowd, and I don't think that will ever go away. But I'm no longer terrified because I have a routine that, when followed, allows me to be far more comfortable and typically do a reasonably good job. Here's the set of steps I take to prepare for a big presentation. Read more…
The Academic Peer Review Process in a Nutshell
The peer review process is an integral part of academics. Professors are told to "publish or perish" and they must do so in highly regarded peer review journals to demonstrate the importance of their work. In order to get published in one of these prestigious journals they must make their way through a grueling gauntlet called the peer review process that looks something like this:
1. Read through a complicated set of instructions for authors and conform to unique and obscure formatting requirements that resemble the awful "Turabian" guidelines that keep hundreds of thousands of students from completing their thesis on time each year. [I wonder what the cost of Turabian is to annual GDP?]
2. Submit your article in the proper format to the journal editor. At this point you can add the article to your CV but you have to say "submitted" as part of the citation.
3. Wait several months for a reply.
Banks are Destroying America's Neighborhoods Part 2 – Response to Comments
Wow – I never expected that my post about Banks Killing America's Neighborhoods would attract so many readers. I want to thank Daniel Roth for highlighting my thoughts on LinkedIn. I also really appreciate all the comments that were left here on my blog and on the LinkedIn Residential Real Estate discussion board. I'll try to respond to a few comments here but I may need a few separate replies to cover all the topics.
1. Several people pointed out that if the banks sold everything at once it would, in fact, drive down prices further. Of course it would (although I don't think it would cut prices in half as someone suggested). I didn't mean to argue otherwise although I think there's so much inventory being held up that it would take a long time to push it through whether it was all listed at once or not. But, when banks hold on to these properties it is definitely causing the problems I mentioned with deteriorating structures and crime. I've seen it first-hand. So the banks are going to lose money either way – whether they hold on or sell quickly. Frankly, I think they'd be far better off selling before the houses in their inventory are damaged due to neglect or vandalism. When a house sits empty for over a year people notice and some will take advantage, often to the detriment of the property. Read more…
Time to Clean House at Claremont McKenna College
I graduated in 1990 with a BA from Claremont McKenna College, known to those at the Claremont Colleges as CMC. Yes, that's the college that was recently caught cheating. CMC reported inflated SAT scores to US News & World Report and other publications who were ranking and profiling liberal arts colleges.
I guess I'm far enough along in life that it won't really hurt me in any meaningful way but it's not fun to have your undergraduate degree tarnished. Sort of like having Enron on your resume.
I read the article in the New York Times and felt very disappointed. I also received an email from Pamela Gann, the current President of CMC. It was thoughtful and contrite and made me think the right things were happening. At the end of her email she stated: "While I am sorry to report this to you, I remain deeply committed to ensuring that Claremont McKenna will respond to this matter in a manner that is accurate, honest, and that will reflect the longstanding integrity of our great college."
In the NY Times piece it was announced that Richard C. Vos the Dean of Admissions had taken sole responsibility and resigned….so apparently no one else was involved or did anything wrong. Really? One scapegoat after 6 years of cheating? How would Wall Street react if a publicly traded company misrepresented earnings for 6 years and then fired only the CFO and hoped that investors would see this as a sufficient response. Read more…
Spatial is Indeed Special…but GIS Software Skills will Soon be Obsolete
I'm fairly new to the blogosphere and Twitter and most of the other forms of social media so I hope you'll forgive me for arriving late to the party and digging up relatively old posts. I read a recent post by James Fee on his Spatially Adjusted blog that referred back to a 2009 blog post arguing that "Spatial is not Special". Sorry to be 2.5 years late to comment but if no one else has formed an opposition to this opinion, please allow me to be the first.
If James had titled his post "GIS is not Special", I wouldn't have felt compelled to debate, because GIS software is not special, but "spatial" is indeed special. Here's why: Read more…

Antibiotics in Meat May Thwart Efforts to Make Sausage Safe
Latest Nutrition, Food & Recipes News
FRIDAY, Sept. 7 (HealthDay News) -- In uncured pepperoni or salami, antibiotic residues in the meat are strong enough to weaken the helpful bacteria that sausage makers add to the product in order to make it safe to eat, a new study finds.
It is common for antibiotics to be used to promote growth or prevent disease in livestock, the researchers explained in a news release from the American Society for Microbiology. These antibiotics can eventually end up in meat.
At the same time, sausage manufacturers commonly place lactic acid-producing bacteria in sausage meat so that the final product is acidic enough to kill harmful bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella that might have been present in the raw meat.
But the antibiotic residues from the livestock can kill these helpful lactic acid-producing bacteria, which then allows the potentially dangerous bacteria to multiply, the investigators found.
The new study, published online Aug. 28 in the journal mBio, found that antibiotic concentrations at levels that meet requirements set by American and European Union regulators can affect the process used to help destroy foodborne pathogens.
"At low concentrations and at regulatory levels set by authorities, we could see that the lactic acid bacteria are more susceptible to the antibiotics than the pathogens [germs] are," Hanne Ingmer, of the University of Copenhagen, said in the news release. "So basically, we can have a situation where residual antibiotics in the meat can prevent or reduce fermentation by the lactic acid bacteria, but these concentrations do not affect survival or even multiplication of pathogens."
This study involved small-scale laboratory experiments, and similar tests need to be conducted in manufacturing facilities, the study authors pointed out.
"The majority of sausages are manufactured at a commercial scale. It has to be addressed whether this is a problem in a real-life facility," Ingmer explained in the news release.

Global ice cream market report....
Study says after years of stagnation, and in some cases decline, "the global ice cream sector is finally experiencing a long-awaited innovation revolution. "
Private label brands have focused on traditional flavors and offered lower priced alternative. Industry is responding now with "innovative flavor combinations, convenient pack formats, targeted marketing and year-round sales growth." Health conscious consumers will turn away from cheap, mass produced brands and pay premiums for assurances that the ice cream comes from one farm/one producer, contains fresh ingredients including eggs, whole fruits, herbs and spices, etc.

Film Review Reviewed By Jamie Russell 2 out of 5 Like Tomb Raider and Doom before it, this cinematic adaptation of the bestselling video game series is far less entertaining than its digital source material. The hitman of the title is Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant), a charmless, genetically engineered contract killer employed by a shadowy international organisation. After an assignment goes wrong, the bald antihero is double-crossed by his employers and pursued by an obsessed Interpol agent (Dougray Scott). Despite globetrotting through exotic locations, this fight-filled thriller rarely matches the game's cinematic flourishes and brazenly ditches the backstory for a far less inspired mythology of its own. French director Xavier Gens brings flash but little substance to the numerous action sequences that pepper the convoluted plotting from writer Skip Woods (Swordfish). It's typical of the enterprise's general air of ridiculousness that Olyphant's assassin can sport a barcode tattoo on his shaved head without anyone ever noticing it. Plot Summary Action crime thriller based on the popular video game, starring Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott and Olga Kurylenko. When elite assassin Agent 47 is betrayed following a mission to kill the Russian president, he goes on the run, pursued by his former colleagues, the Russian military and an Interpol agent.

I was ambivalent about the Cavs' direction heading into last night's game against the Knicks. Sure, they went 1-4 over a homestretch in which they could have easily changed the complexion of the season by winning just three of these very winnable games.
Maybe they hit a funk. I don't know. But then the Cavs got up on national television, against a terrible team, and proclaimed their entrance into the Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes. There was a little bit of everything on display; a smorgasbord of ineptitude, if you will.
With Anderson Varejao out these past two games, we saw a glimpse of the core that's supposed to usher in the new era of Cavaliers basketball. That core simply isn't that good, from players to coach.
Mike Brown certainly plays as big a part as any. Offensively, the team generally doesn't have much going on; you usually see one action, and after guys finish their action, they just stand around and hope that first option they performed their action for works. The team generally thrives off the natural basketball talent and/or high IQ of Deng, Dion Waiters, C.J. Miles, Kyrie, and God Varejao creating something out of nothing after broken sets.
He has a starting lineup with five players all above a 15 PER (the average PER), and one of the best bench scorers in the NBA. As a coach in a terrible conference, you should be able to play mediocre ball with that squad. Even Tyler Zeller, Varejao's replacement for these past two games, has put up a very solid 14.16 PER this season.
One of the five players with an above-average PER, Miles, is only playing 20 minutes per game since the arrival of Deng, despite averaging nine points on 46/41/100 shooting splits.
Jarrett Jack is logging half a minute more than Miles. He's averaging six points per game on 35/39/88 shooting splits. His time on the court has not only cut into Miles' playing time, but Waiters' also– who carried the team's bench this season, and is among the best bench scores in the league.
Waiters is down from 30 minutes per game, to 25.7. He's logged 30+ minutes three times since the trade, just once more than he's logged sub-20.
Designing the rotation is one of the million dollar decisions the Cavs pay Brown to make, and much to our chagrin, he's failed.
Not only is Jack posting terrible numbers, but somehow his personal basic stats are the highlight of his season.
Jack has the worst court-vision of any guard on the team, yet when he plays, he's almost always the primary ball-handler. This leads to a lot of open guys in the corners/wings getting snubbed, and a lot of forced passes into a packed paint. He's also the most selfish player on the team, which earned him the nickname "Jacking Jumpers". Jacking Jumpers is partially a nickname, partially an alter-ego, and ultimately a name for the period of the game when Jack checks in and chucks contested mid-range jumper after jumper– engulfing the momentum of the Cavs like an arrhythmic, unconscionable black hole.
The result of Jack playing for 20-30 minutes on any given night is Kyrie ranking 15th in both touches per game and time of possession.
Jack's chemistry with Waiters is just as bad. The numbers are favorable, but it's mostly due to Waiters' huge bursts with bench units when he's the ball-dominant player in lineups where Jack, Dellavedova, and others simply act as floor-spacers to the Waiters show. Whenever a wild Jacking Jumpers appears, Waiters' production usually falls off. Evidence of this lies in the top-3 3-man units that have received >25 minutes this year all include Waiters with Miles and/or Dellavedova and no Jack– lineups that are almost exclusively used with bench units.
The collection of guards has made it pretty clear who deserves playing time.
I've killed Jack this year, I've killed Brown for playing Jack this year, but this commitment to playing Jack is reaching Kendrick Perkins levels of incongruity.
Brown has also, judging by the product on the court and reports, lost control of the team for the third time this season– marking the sixth time in his career he's lost control of a team. I know this is completely subjective, but there is no way Lionel Hollins or George Karl lose control of this team, nor coach a team to this… just saying.
If the Cavs split games with the Bobcats (without Al Jefferson), Pelicans, Celtics, didn't blow a game against the Bucks without four key players, beat the Bulls without Rose and Deng, and didn't get embarrassed on their home floor by Detroit or Washington, they would be a playoff team. If they went 6-4 in 10 of the easiest games of the year, they would be the 7th seed in the playoffs with an eye on 6th. With a team that's not terrible talent-wise, I can't help but place a lot of blame on the coach.
In other words: The Cavs have faced the league's easiest schedule, and despite that, are even with the Boston Celtics in the win column.
That's my riff on Brown. He's not a good coach, very stubborn, not creative, and should probably be fired.
However, I'm starting to think that his awful coaching is a blessing in disguise.
If you factor out Varejao, who is gone after this season, this doesn't resemble a team that should make the playoffs in a typical season. Maybe we should be happy with this result.
Clark and Bennett, for the most part, have been inadequate NBA players; Zeller still needs to add strength in order to not get completely muscled out of half the games he plays in; and Jack has been a detriment to say the least.
Thompson is not yet a starting power forward for a good team. He's a fine player, but this season, he's roughly the 22nd-25th best starting power forward in the league. He isn't a rim-protector, can't shoot, and is an enigma. That's not to say he hasn't improved, or won't improve further. He is 12 & 9 per game with nice hedging, and that is all.
Personally, I don't know if I'm even convinced he's the right starting power forward for this team; his combination of awful finishing and inability to shoot is the perfect storm to counter-act the penetrating abilities of Kyrie and Waiters, the team's best playmakers. There is no telling how ugly things could get if he played next to the rim-protector the Cavs desperately need.
While it's nice to see a team take off in year-3, the Cavs just aren't there yet, and they should act accordingly.
They simply aren't that talented. You look at the roster and see Anthony Bennett, Jarrett Jack, Earl Clark, Alonzo Gee, and we want to say they are average. We have learned this season that those players are well below average.
Coming into the year, we all believed these players would be average. The Cavaliers bought the dream of the playoffs early on based on the incoming talent. Now that it's apparent no talent came in, this should be a dream deferred.
This is not a pro-tank piece. (If they continue to start Jarrett Jack, they will do so unintentionally). I am still a fan of keeping Luol Deng, if he can be extended for a reasonable price. I am pro adding and retaining talented players, as long as they are building blocks.
I am just saying, the Cavs have reached the point where they should begin planning for next season. That means trading Varejao, deciding if they want to extend Deng, and committing to playing Bennett.
There is no point in putting on airs for free agents anymore. Nobody will be fooled by a playoff berth if we trade Dion Waiters for short-term veteran talent. Ultimately, that would come back to haunt us.
It's time to cut loose any player who won't be of value past this season. It's time to trade vets, experiment with a stretch-4 (who makes shots, i.e. not Clark), evaluate the core, and let the nature of the NBA schedule take the Cavs where it may.
Many people are probably opposed to the waiting for the draft because "young talent has not brought us anywhere." The key word there is talent. This team has a lot of young players, but not much talent. A team doesn't have enough young talent after three drafts; a team has enough young talent when they have enough talent.
Of their picks in the past few years, I am confident Waiters and Kyrie will be good enough to play 25+ minutes for a contending team. Thompson looks like he can be a contender's third-big, Zeller looks like he'll be a cog with a few more lbs, and Bennett is well… he's Bennett. That's not a reliable core, especially since the best two players have some chemistry issues.
This team has major problems at center, small forward (depending on Deng situation), and power forward (somehow) going forward.
The Cavs don't resemble the Blazers with Batum, Lillard, Aldridge; it's not the Pacers a year ago with Paul George, Roy Hibbert, and Lance Stpehenson; it's not even Minnesota with Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic, and Ricky Rubio.
Right now, they have a legit young superstar (Kyrie), a guy who is underrated with loads of potential (Waiters), an overrated player who might not be a starter in the long-run (Thompson), a guy who might not be in the league in 2 years (Bennett), a long-term rotation player (Zeller), an underrated, likely irritated shooting guard (Miles), possibly no small forward past this trade deadline, no center past this season, and a smorgasbord of terrible veterans.
Cleveland also has its own pick in a stacked draft, tradeable assets, and a ton of cap space this summer.
A Deng trade makes sense (especially with recent news regarding him), a Varejao trade makes even more sense, and trying to force Jack into a trade would be icing on top of the deadline cake.
They are not good yet, and they should accept it. The whole idea of wooing LeBron by making the playoffs just won't happen. This team doesn't need a superficial playoff run.

Windows Gone Wild by esintuWatch

no editing whatsoever.. shot with my new camera.. it has learned a lot from Apophysis
woah... not understanding how you did this, bu wow anyway!
it's just the remote-shooting option of the camera.. the preview window becomes the computer's monitor, and when I point the lens towards the monitor, it creates a feedback effect. then I tilt the camera a little and voila
how'd you do that?
I connected the camera to the pc, arranged so that the monitor showed what was supposed to be on the preview screen of the camera and tilted the camera a bit to give a spiral feedback
Cool! This looks like looking down a staircase
That's so neat!

You are never supposed to feel bad about yourself, unless, of course, that was you that took the last cookie. Then, I'm sorry, but shame on you.
Very powerful! Yet loses none of the grace and beauty of the character. Expertly done!
you managed to do a better job illustrating her than the guys who are paid by DC to do that on a regular basis!
That turned out wonderful.

The end of the Cold War caught Turkey unprepared. The collapse of the communist regime inRussia, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the independence of Eastern European and Central Asian republics leftAnkara to face foreign policy problems it did not know how to deal with. During the Cold War it had pursued a policy of full commitment to the Western alliance. However, it was now being questioned whether Turkey had any remaining value for NATO, and it had all of a sudden fallen behind the liberated Eastern European countries in the waiting line for accession to the European Union (EU).
It also found itself in the center of conflict-ridden regions and surrounded by neighbors it was at odds with. Western allies who throughout the Cold War years did not at all mind its human rights and democracy deficit all of a sudden became very critical. Coalition governments running the country throughout the 1990s could not conceive of any other method than the use of force or threats of using force in dealing with the armed Kurdish uprising as well as foreign policy problems.
Turkey managed to adapt itself to the post-Cold War international environment only after the coming to power of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2002 and the putting into practice of the paradigm drawn up by Professor Ahmet Davutoğlu, the chief foreign policy adviser to the government. The main principles of that paradigm, simply referred to as the "zero problems" policy, were the following: remaining committed to the Western alliance and the goal of accession to the EU; using a multidimensional approach moving closer in political, economic and cultural terms to countries with which Turkey had historical ties; solving problems with neighbors not by resorting to threats of the use of force but through diplomacy and dialogue and by increasing economic interdependence; and exerting diplomatic efforts to help overcome regional disputes through multilateral initiatives while remaining equidistant to the various ethnic and religious parties involved.
The "zero problems" policy, based on the principles summarized above, proved to be most successful. With that policy Turkey was able to substantially enhance not only its democracy, economy and security but also its international prestige and soft power. It became a source of inspiration for the entire Arab world while it was increasingly clear that the independent and national interest-based policies Turkey pursued did not at all mean its moving away from the Western alliance. On the contrary, they in fact helped it move closer to the EU's membership criteria.
Just as the end of the Cold War had caught Ankara unprepared, however, so did the advent of the Arab Spring, which may be said to have been triggered, among other factors, by Turkey becoming a source of inspiration for the Arab peoples. The "zero problems" policy which relied on the status quo in the Middle East faced a number of difficulties. It may be argued thatAnkara is now engaged in adapting itself to a new regional environment full of uncertainties. It can surely achieve this only by sticking to the principles of the "zero problems" paradigm rather than deviating from them. The principles that matter now more than ever are those that have to do with the resolution of disputes through diplomacy and dialogue, support for democratization and avoidance of taking sides along sectarian or ethnic lines.
The most difficult problem facing Turkish foreign policy currently is, undoubtedly, how to deal with the popular uprising inSyria, which has reversed relations with that country, that had increasingly normalized over the last decade. It was unthinkable for Ankara to side with the authoritarian regime against the people, and it rightfully engaged in efforts to convince the regime to reform itself. Those efforts having, unfortunately, failed, it should throw all its weight behind United Nations-led multilateral efforts to achieve stability and open the way for the democratization of the regime. A wise policy based on universal values and national interest surely necessitates that Ankara refrains from measures like unilaterally setting up a buffer zone or humanitarian aid corridor inside Syria that would inevitably draw it into a likely civil war.
And what is imperative for Turkey's adaptation to the post-Arab Spring regional environment, for consolidation of its democracy and territorial integrity remains to be its reconstitution as a state that recognizes the equal rights of its citizens of all ethnic and religious backgrounds.

Managing virtual terminals with Screen
Cast a spell upon your console. Instead of juggling multiple terminals, you can manage all your important command line programs in a single window.
Screen lets you launch multiple virtual consoles in a single termi nal. This gives users the ability to keep processes running on remote com puters after logging off. And you can open up the screen to other users, letting them share your session. The terminal applications on KDE and Gnome point the way: you can launch multiple tabs, just like in a browser, thus combining multiple console sessions in a single program window. If you do not use a GUI, or if you use SSH to work on a remote computer, there is no need to do without this convenience. The Screen tool will help you manage multiple vir tual terminals, giving you the ability to keep processes running if you log off the remote machine. Screen even provides tools that let you share a console session with other users.

I've signed up for the trial, and I have it working fine on my desktop. When I change the DNS on my WDTV (22.214.171.124 and 220.127.116.11 were both tried), I get the message "We are unable to connect you to Netflix..." when attempting to load the Netflix app. It doesn't matter what region I have the service set to.
For what it's worth, I can connect to Hulu Plus without trouble when the DNS is changed. Netflix works fine when I go back to automatic network settings on the WD.
I need to ask a couple of questions so that we could narrow down the source of the issue.
Have you tried rebooting your WDTV?
Have you setup your WDTV according to this guide below?
Let me know if you need further assistance.
What is the exact model of your WDTV?
We may know if that WD TV is compatible with streaming US Netflix or not.
I just confirmed this, and unfortunately, it would not be possible to change the regions using your WD. You may only be able to change the regions using your computer but the WD will only display US since it seems to be a US model.
I need to ask a couple of questions so that we could narrow down the source of the issue.
Have you tried using our DNS service on a computer (or iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android device)?
Are you able to access the service properly on a different computer or other devices?
The reason why I asked this is mainly because when using a WDTV with our service you still need to setup our DNS on one of your computer ( or iPad, iPhone, iPod, or Android device ) because our check service and Netflix country selector only works on those devices. Also, you can only be verified by going to our website [ www.unblock-us.com ] using these devices. Without being verified our service will not work.
You can find your device name on the list of setup instructions from our setup page ( http://www.unblock-us.com/how-to-set-up/ ).
If you're still having issues please send us a screenshot of where you typed our DNS in your device as well as a screenshot of our homepage so we could investigate further. You can use this link to know how you can do a screenshot on your device.
Please send the details via private email as you can't send screenshots via public post. You can click the link below.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Here's how you can setup your WDTV.
After setting up our DNS in your device you need to reboot it by turning it off and turning it back on. Once your device is ready then you can go to this link [ www.unblock-us.com ] using a device that has a fully functioning browser so you can verify if the service was fully established in your device.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Hi Joe,
Thank you for contacting us!
At the moment region switching on Netflix on a WDTV is still not working correctly, we are aware of this issue and our tech team is doing the investigation.
Please email us back using this link
so we can further isolate the issue.
Hi Ariel,
Thank you for contacting us. I'll be more than glad to help you.
Did you get an error when you tried to save our DNS on the device? If so, what's the error message?
If it save the settings and no error message. When you go to our homepage www.unblock-us.com website, does it show that steps 1, 2 and 3 green?
Here's the article on how to configure our service on WD device.- https://support.unblock-us.com/customer/portal/articles/291573
Have you tried to configure our service in your other devices? (Computer, iPhone/iPad, Android phone/tablet etc.)
Here's the article on how to setup all devices/Routers that we support, select your device and follow the instruction.- http://www.unblock-us.com/how-to-set-up/
Could you please send us a screenshot of the following, so we can take a closer look.
- Screenshot of the DNS setup page on your device/router.

iHerb Customer Reviews
It clearly does something to sugar metabolism. After using it for a few days my blood sugar went so low I almost ended up in the hospital. No, I don't have diabetes. And I was only taking one capsule a day, half of the recommended dose.
This product made no difference.

Easy, microwave Lemon Curd
This is a super-easy lemon curd recipe I got from an Australian Women's Weekly magazine a number of years ago. I've served it on scones, ice-cream, filling for cakes, etc. You won't believe how easy this is; no double-boilers involved….it is absolutely fool-proof! Enjoy.
Easy, microwave Lemon Curd
- 6 Tblspns. butter
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- Finely grated rind and juice of 2 lemons
- Melt butter in a large bowl on high in microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. Add sugar, eggs, lemon juice and rind. Mix well. Cook on high in microwave about 3 minutes. Stir. Cook another 3 minutes, stir, and repeat until thick. (I usually microwave a total of 9-12 minutes, doing it 3 minutes at a time). Cool and keep in fridge up to 2 weeks.
Haven't a clue, but if you're worried about a heart attack, you'd better stay away from this stuff!!!!

superdupercakes on
I tried this recipe and had trouble with the egg whites cooking in it and clumping up. Had to toss it out. I thougt I had mixed it well enough. Any ideas of what I might have done wrong?
daltonam on
superdupercakes, I've never tried this recipe, but I know most other curds only call for egg yokes.
jawalleen on
I made this today to layer between white cake and its very good. I used passion fruit puree instead of the lemon and it was to die for. I used the 3 eggs along with puree of 3 passion fruits. I set my micro for 9 min, cooked it 2 min, stirred, and stirred every 1-2 min. thereafter. I will def. be using this recipe again! Thanks for sharing Kiwi,,,
neascakes on
I just made the recipe and it turned out beautifully. I used the 3 whole eggs. Thanks for sharing, it sure made the dreaded lemon curd be enjoyable!!! :)
SugarKissesCakery on
Does a cake need to be refrigerated when filled with lemon curd?
bluenote865 on
I used this recipe for my lemon meringue cupcakes, as a filling and it is the easiest curd I've ever made. I do take the extra step of straining it right after it's done cooking (still hot), just to be sure there aren't stringy little bits of egg white. Really is foolproof! Thanks for the recipe!
Suewillo on
how much does this make? I need to make a lemon curd for a wedding cake. I am making an 8" 10" and 12" cakes and would like to have 3 layers of filling in each cake. I can't find any lemon curd that tells you how much it makes or how many layers it will fill. If anyone can help with this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks Sue

A Nome woman has been cited for killing a musk ox, the latest in Nome's increasingly common "nuisance musk ox" problem.
Nome resident Diana Adams, 59, was cited by an Alaska wildlife trooper on Tuesday for taking a musk ox out of season July 17 in Icy View. In an email, Adams wrote she has "been charged with the illegal taking of game" and has no comment.
But herds of musk oxen remain close to town, uncomfortably close for some, and wildlife officials have been scrambling all summer for a solution. The animals have damaged property, injured and in some cases killed pets, and threatened some residents. Current estimates put about 150 animals within 7 miles of Nome. With deterrents ranging from rubber bullets to bear decoys to bear urine, the question remains: have any of them worked?
"I would say the short version of that is, they haven't," admits Tony Gorn, the wildlife biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in charge of the Unit 22(C) area around Nome.
Gorn said the first call for help related to problematic "urban musk ox" came in May, months earlier than in prior years. With precautions failing to change the animals' behavior, Gorn said the best strategy so far has been moving the herds on a case-by-case basis.
"We've been diligently moving musk ox groups when people call us," he said. "We go out and we move the herds away from the backyard, or the airport, or wherever the case might be."
Fish and Game is also tackling the problem by moving up the limited subsistence hunt for the iconic Arctic animals. The opening for five bulls now starts Aug. 1, five months early.
"There's been members of the public that expressed interest to hunt some of the animals close to town, and we had the regulatory flexibility to make that change," Gorn said. "There's no chance of over-harvesting" he said, referring to the Tier II subsistence hunt that, at least in the area immediately around Nome, is limited to bow and arrow, shotgun, and muzzleloaders, "so, you put all those things together and it seems like a reasonable change to make."
But Gorn said the early hunt and the increasingly vocal complaints from Nome residents about musk oxen close to town misses the bigger picture of decline in the Seward Peninsula population, which is diminishing by about 13 percent annually. With high natural death rates and fewer calves surviving into a second year, Gorn said the hunt may be opening earlier but will remain limited to just five bulls.
"We still have to be conservative with our harvest rates because we don't want to over-harvest the population," he said.
Overall, Gorn said the problem isn't too many musk oxen. In fact, he said, the musk ox population grew steadily for 30 years, reaching a peak of around 2,800 animals. Even with more animals at the time, Gorn said there were fewer incidents of urban musk oxen around Nome. Though the data isn't complete, Gorn said the problem is likely predators that musk oxen deem a bigger threat than humans.
"The challenge is going to be, for our deterrents, is: we have got to find a deterrent that is even more unpleasant to groups of musk ox than being chased around by a bear or wolf," Gorn said.
"And, frankly, and I'm not sure what that's going to be."
Fish and Game is still looking for solutions to keep musk oxen out of town. While harvesting more of Nome's urban musk oxen may be off the table, aiming that effort at predators that could be keeping the animals in town could let hunters help in a different way: Gorn reminds hunters the brown bear season opens in Unit 22(C) Aug. 1.

A little bit of an annoyance I came across recently was Speaker Decks inability to process a presentation, uploading wasn't a problem just processing the slides. With no real explanation I've tried numerous PDF files to see where the issue could lie with no resolution.
As it turns out the warning message "We had issues processing your talk" actually had no relation to the content being uploaded, it turns out my account had been "incorrectly caught by our automated abuse/spam system".
The resolution was really simple, I got in touch with the Github support team and within 24hours the account was unlocked and uploads worked again.
Hopefully this will stop others from pulling out their hair (I now have none).

I agree to a certain degree, however, it's not fair to players how a single panzer can basically torch a whole tank and kill everyone on it, but you being ''blacked out'' is possibly the stupidest thing I've heard. You're not simply ''hit'' by the tank, you're ran over, therefore causes death.
im never around the tank when a panzer is coming and as for tank running me over hell i can jump off the tank and out run it hop through the mud and u wont get run over and just watch the path of the tank going

Rental Program Revamp
Here is a story that I have heard far too often over the years:
"John" has been a professional water treatment dealer for eight years. Like many, he built his business from the ground up. By his own admission, he had more determination than money, so things were tight for a few years, but his business continued to grow.
Rental programs help dealers ride out the economic recession
Selling the Senses
Rather than sharing statistics, tactics, strategies and scripts that manipulate an outcome, let's discuss what motivates consumers to buy and how that impacts closing sales.
A Nation of Consumers
We are all consumers, and by that, I mean we all buy stuff. We not only consume products and services out of need, we actually enjoy buying. Interestingly, there are several studies stating that we buy to soothe and satisfy emotional needs. Buying things has become a self-prescribed form of therapy.
Motivation to Buy
Reading a customer's needs and desires to help close a sale
Sales Demonstration Kits
Clearly and effectively demonstrate to customers the differences between untreated and treated water with these sales demonstration kits. Choose either traditional color comparison tests or digital test kits featuring the ColorQ DW photometer. Customize your kit with a choice of four different softener units and optional tests, including TDS.
Nelsen Corp. Hires Terry Heckman
Heckman was past president of the Pacific Water Quality Assn.
Nelsen Corp. recently appointed Terry Heckman to western regional sales manager. In his new role, Heckman's responsibilities are to lead and coordinate sales efforts and further current dealer development in the company's Arizona location, as well as to create and execute the strategy to further strengthen sales and market share in the western region.
Testing: A Vital Service
Whether you are a sales, installation or service professional, water testing is vital to completing your job. Providing consultation, offering recommendations and addressing problems can only be done after a proper water analysis has been completed.
Testing Parameters
Provide value to customers by evaluating water quality
Optimizing Online Advertising
Anyone who has ever used Google knows the search engine enables companies to advertise products and services next to search results, as well as on websites, Google Maps and many other places on the Web. These ads can be a great way for businesses to build Web traffic and see positive results.
In order to ensure that these ads provide the most benefit, it is important to know how to use Google AdWords, a bidding system used by advertisers to help determine when and where their ads will display. Advertisers competitively bid to display their ads next to the keywords they specify.
Strategies for targeting customers with effective online ads
Research Revamp
Over the past several years, the Water Quality Assn. (WQA) and the Water Quality Research Foundation (WQRF) have completed three research studies that provide the industry with insights into their core customers and the quantifiable benefits of using softened water. While this research is valuable in and of itself, when put in the hands of a trained salesperson, it can be the difference between making a sale and going home without that much-sought-after order.
Integrating softened water research into sales presentations
The Power of the Payment
Does your dealership offer financing? I hope not. That may be a shocking statement coming from the sales manager of a finance company, but allow me to explain.
Pick up your local newspaper or listen to a local radio station—everyone from plumbers to roofers "offers financing." If you or your staff are using those words when speaking to customers or in advertisements, then you are just one of the pack. Your message lacks focus and becomes meaningless, which could cause customers to drift away, thinking they cannot afford to buy a quality water system for their home.
Improving sales with effective use of financing
Keeping Up With the Times
If the articles in this month's Dealer Insight special section are any indication, today's customers are changing. This means dealers need to change their sales approaches too—keeping up not only with customers' needs, but also the latest technology, research and regulations.

text: Hi y'all, So I've posted a thorough explanation of what my proposed method is on the "autochrome recipe" thread and another older thread "restarting my autochrome experiments....". But I felt bad about hijacking these more historical discussions and thought I should just create a new thread to share my experiment/plan. The goal is to recreate the look of autochrome & dufaycolor photographs. Instead of attempting to reproduce these methods exactly, which were developed 103 years ago, I figured there had to be some modern methods that would be much easier. I came up with the idea of using slide film to record the reseau, RGB-colored screen, by photographing a white TV screen (RGB elements of equal amplitude) TV screen. Then, thru pin registration, this screen will be attached to ordinary panchromatic b&w film, exposed, separated, reversal processed and re-registered. Voila! Naturally, the irony is how retrogressive this technique is... using color film to make a reseau only to permit making another color picture on b&w film. .....doesn't bother me a bit though.... So, after going thru all the theoretical steps, I've moved to the practical steps, namely, calculating magnifications. However, I've come up against some problems. To make a .05mm TV pixel (approx.) equal to a .005mm autochrome starch we need a magnification of 1/10th. Take a 12"x16" TV screen and 4x5" film and my calculations say that the TV can't fill the whole frame at that magnification. SOO either we have to sacrifice resolution or find a higher-definition screen. I haven't done the math yet, but perhaps a 1080 hi-def screen would do the trick. As I don't have one ($), a computer monitor is probably the next best thing. However, this got me thinking about lens/film resolution. I haven't done a ton of looking into it yet, but it seems like 60 lp/mm is about the limit of resolution.(??) That equals .017mm per line pair. Would it be fair to say that it's impossible to reach the resolution of the autochrome starch grains with a typical lens/film combination? I thought that making a reseau thru optical means would be significantly easier, and indeed it is, but at a cost I guess. I would appreciate any input on my calculations & in determining the maximum resolution available by the method I've outlined. Either way, I'm still going to attempt this. Thanks!

There can be problems obtaining predictable, reliably reproducible black and white images when using the four colour processes that HP Indigo printers do. The common, practical solution is applying an arbitrary tone value to grayscale b&w photographs so they print well. I don't have a magic ingredient for that worked out. This book is my initial attempt to create reasonably printed b&w images by applying a range of Photographic Toning Gradient Map Layers to them.
The images used here are a small subset of the Avebury Stone Circle photographs from my 12" large square sized Blurb book: Soundings in the River of Time.

Undergraduate student involvement has been linked to retention and satisfaction (Astin, 1993; Tinto, 1993); however, no empirical research has yet been conducted on the outcomes of involvement at the graduate level. We interviewed 10 doctoral students in higher education in order to explore graduate student involvement, finding that it is not only markedly different from undergraduate involvement, but that it is an integral part of the socialization process for the future profession.
This study is an investigation of stress and coping among African American students at a predominantly White college/university (PWCU) and a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) and their relationship to academic performance. Participants were 203 African American students (101 from a mid-size predominantly White midwestern state university and 102 from an HBCU located on the East Coast). Perceived stress, minority status stress, and coping behaviors were measured. Multivariate comparisons revealed that African American students on the PWCU campus experienced higher levels of minority status stressors compared to their counterparts at the HBCU. Participants from both universities were generally similar in their use of coping strategies and in their levels of overall perceived stress. An exploratory model and an alternate model of stress and coping processes were tested. Both models highlight the unique contribution of minority status stressors to academic performance.
Using a national sample (n = 643) of Native American students who took the College Student Experiences Questionnaire (CSEQ), the researcher identified how student involvement and institutional commitment to diversity predicted student learning. Native American students reported higher levels of learning when the institution's commitment to diversity was strong and when students were frequently engaged in discussion with others, particularly when that discussion required students to synthesize and integrate information from various sources. Suggestions are made for student affairs efforts to boost institutional emphasis on diversity and to increase frequency of peer discussion.
As part of a larger investigation into the experiences of 25 evangelical Christian student leaders at two public universities, students were interviewed to determine how they conceptualized their religious identity as well as how that dimension of their identity impacted their roles and responsibilities as students. Results suggest that the public identity work of these students may involve two interrelated, yet distinct, processes: identity revelation and "identity authentication."
Although academic and student affairs partnership programs have been cited as potential means to create seamless learning environments for undergraduate students, little research exists on the outcomes of such programs for students. The Boyer Partnership Assessment Project examined the outcomes for students participating in academic and student affairs partnership programs at 18 institutions. Four categories of student outcomes were identified: acclimation to the institution, engagement, student learning, and academic and career decisions. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
Alcohol use literature has linked heavy episodic alcohol use and academic consequences, but has not examined the influence of such use on student engagement. This study uses survey data from over 40,000 students at 28 selective private colleges and universities to examine the connection between heavy episodic alcohol use and engagement. The strongest negative effects of heavy episodic drinking are on student–faculty interaction, with these effects most common at research universities and less common at coed colleges and women's colleges.

Mr. Kuo served President Bush as the deputy director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. He said that the Bush administration is not sincere about compassionate conservatism and, instead, is manipulating Christian conservatives for political gain. He charged that public funds allocated to the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives were used to finance Republican campaign events in 2004. Mr. Kuo, an evangelical Christian and a Republican, said he believes Christians should take a two-year "fast" from political causes and instead support charities that help the poor and the sick.

Mrs. Chea C. is 39 years old and the mother of a child who is attending the local school.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
