Who is a Believer in Jesus Christ (part one)
The Bible makes it abundantly clear that there are believers and unbelievers, but apparently people are unable to make a clear distinction between the two, because there is little or no difference between the life style of the believer and that of the unbeliever.
The bible for example gives a clear command for believers who are married to another believer, and another charge to a believer who is married to an unbeliever. To the married believers the bible states categorically, "To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife" (1Corinthians 7:10-11).
To a believer who is married to an unbeliever the bible gives a totally different charge which is, "To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him, for the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.'
"But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife" (1Corinthians 7:12-16)?
With the majority of people violating with impunity the command given to believers, and adopting the principle granted to unbelievers, it leaves one to wonder whether there is such a distinction between believers and unbelievers, or whether there is a false concept of what it is to believe.
The distinction between the believer and the unbeliever is so relevant and realistic that believers have been admonished saying; "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers…For what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we (the believer) are the temple of the living God, as God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you, I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty" (2Corinthians 6:14-18).
The reality is most people who called themselves believers, are living more like unbelievers than they do as believers. Believe in Jesus Christ to most people is simply an ideology that has been professed and embraced by all in the Christian community, but what exactly it is to believe in Jesus Christ, what does it entails? How can the believer be differentiated from the unbeliever?
To believe in Jesus Christ is to believe that he is the way, the truth and the life, and that no one comes unto the Father except through him. Believing this is the most important criterion of our salvation as alluded to by the apostle Paul who wrote; "We ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth." Those who are perishing, perish because they refused to love the truth and be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, 10).
But what is the truth about Jesus that we should believe? In praying to the Father on behalf of his disciples Jesus said; "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." The truth therefore is Jesus Christ the word of God, who became flesh and made his dwelling among men, and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth (John.17:17; Jn. 14: 6; John.1:14).
Believing Jesus Christ who is the word of God that was made flesh and dwelt among men is to believe everything the scriptures say about him, and this is the way one can differentiate a believer from an unbeliever, and the details about Jesus can be subdivided into eight (8) intrinsic parts which are:-
1. Believe that Jesus Christ is the Beloved Son of God
A believer is one who believes that Jesus Christ is the Beloved Son of God, who proceeded and came forth from the Father, and that the Father himself loves him/her because he/she has loved Jesus Christ and has believed that Jesus Christ came from God.
The believer believes that Jesus is the Beloved Son of God, the Word of God, who was in the beginning with God, and that all things were created by him and without him was not anything made that was made, and that Jesus Christ is the express image of the invisible God, and in him all things in heaven and earth were created, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominion or principalities or authorities; all things were created through him and for him, and that He is before all things and in him all things exists.
The believer believes that since Jesus Christ is the word of God, and no one has heard the voice of God nor seen his form, it is Jesus Christ the Beloved Son of God who gave Moses the Everlasting Covenant, the Ten Commandments, and it is he who said to Moses' "These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies" (Leviticus 23:2)
He believes also that it is he who gave instructions to Aaron the High priest saying; "This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old. Offer one in the morning and the other at twilight. With the first lamb offer a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil from pressed olives, and a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning – a pleasing aroma, an offering to the Lord by fire.'
"For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you; there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory. So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God" (Exodus 29:38-46).
The believer believes that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever, and since when he came into the world he said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." And since he fulfilled them by replacing the shadow and copy with the reality which is, replacing the earthly tabernacle with the true tabernacle in heaven, replacing the lamb by the sacrifice of himself, and leaving the bread and the wine to represent his flesh and blood, and replacing the temporary high priest, by himself the everlasting High priest, the offering of God's food for his offering… the Lord's supper is relevant to day as it was when the Lord instituted it.
A believer believes that it is Jesus Christ who asked Moses to say to the children of Israel, "You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy, observe the Sabbath because it is holy to you" (Exodus 31:13-14).
He also believes that it is Jesus Christ who said to the prophet Ezekiel; "…I gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the Lord made them holy." And, "Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God" (Ezekiel 20:12, 20).
These Sabbaths are the Lord's appointed feasts, which the believer is to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing offerings made to the Lord by fire" (Leviticus 23:37).
The instructions given to the believer is "See that you present to me at the appointed time the food for my offerings made by fire, as an aroma pleasing to me" (Numbers 28:2).
This fragrant offering in our dispensation, is the offering of the sacrificial body of the Son of God in the form of the bread and wine. "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" (Ephesians 5:2).
Hence when he came into the world he said, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day" (Mark 2:27-28).

Bronx Woman Is City's First 2013 Murder Victim
A 59-year-old woman was shot and killed inside her Bronx apartment on Thursday, a law-enforcement official said, making her New York City's first victim of a homicide in 2013.
The woman is believed to have been shot by her daughter's boyfriend during a fight between the couple. According to the official, the violence erupted at about 1:30 p.m. inside a third-floor apartment building on Story Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx.
The spat between the 22-year-old daughter and her 25-year-old boyfriend began inside a second floor apartment. The daughter fled into her mother's home upstairs in the same building, the official said, with the boyfriend following behind.
In the shooting that followed, the mother was wounded in the chest and her daughter was shot in the nose, the official said.
The mother was declared dead at the scene while her daughter was taken to Jacobi Medical Center and was listed in stable condition. The suspect, whose identity detectives are aware of, escaped and was being sought by police Thursday.
In 2012, homicides in New York City dropped to record-low levels even as the overall crime rate edged higher for the first time in a generation. The year ended with 414 murders in the five boroughs, fewer than the 471 homicides in 2009 that had been the previous record.

Did you know that physical activity can cause heartburn in some people?
But if exercise makes your heartburn worse, that doesn't mean you should give it up – there are some easy ways to get fast relief.
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
First, it's important to not stop working out. Physical activity is too important for your overall health. Plus, regular exercise – 30 minutes or more most days of the week – also has results that may reduce heartburn in the long run:
• It eases physical and emotional stress. Stress can make heartburn worse by increasing stomach acid.
• It helps you stay at a healthy weight. Belly fat, in particular, can cause heartburn.
Exercise Triggers
Exercises like the ones below tend to put pressure on your abdomen. They may be more likely to push stomach acid into the esophagus, causing heartburn:
• Crunches and sit-ups
• Leg lifts
• Yoga positions like "downward dog"
But everyone's exercise triggers are different. Before cutting out any type of exercise, first try doing it at a different time of day.

Colleagues will take notice of your business card when it comes out of the Shepard Fairey OBEY Card Case ($39). Artsy clients might even take you more seriously, depending on their view on street art. Yes, of course, you want to know more.
Catapulted into fame by his Obama campaign poster, Shepherd Fairey has become a huge name in the contemporary street art movement. In his artist statement at MOCA's wildly popular exhibit, Art in the Streets, Fairey aligned his GIANT street art campaign with the phenomenology of propaganda. Nowadays he remains political to the core; recently he made an invitation for Occupy Wall Street and created the movie poster poster for the Aung San Suu Kyi film, The Lady.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2011 Article IV Consultation with GeorgiaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 11/40
March 28, 2011
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On March 23, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Georgia.1
The economic recovery is proceeding at a solid pace, with real GDP growth of above 6 percent in 2010. Growth was broad based across all economic sectors, driven by a rebound of credit to the private sector and strong export demand. Inflation rose to 13.7 percent in February on the back of increasing commodity prices, but core inflation remains low. Although foreign direct investment inflows remain subdued, the private sector external position has improved since mid-year, reflecting an increase in other private financial inflows and a narrowing of the current account deficit to 10 percent of GDP in 2010. The resulting abatement of exchange rate pressures has allowed the central bank to reduce intervention and strengthen its net international reserve position.
Riding on the rebound of the private sector, the government began withdrawing the fiscal stimulus, with a resulting narrowing of the fiscal deficit to 6.6 percent of GDP in 2010 from 9.2 percent in 2009, driven essentially by the containment of current spending. The central bank has tightened its monetary stance steadily since June 2010, initially in response to exchange rate pressures and more recently worries about rising inflation.
Financial stability concerns from the balance sheet impact of the crisis have abated, reflecting the decline of non-performing loans and adequate bank capitalization and provisioning. Prudential requirements have been restored back toward pre-crisis levels, adding to the general tightening of policies.
An Ex Post Assessment Update (EPA) was conducted to review Georgia's economic performance during its long-term involvement with the Fund. The report covered the country's performance during 2004-10 under two Fund-supported programs: the 2004-07 Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) and the 2008-11 Stand-By Arrangement (SBA).
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities for their strong policy response to the crisis, which succeeded in stabilizing the economy and restoring confidence. The economy is recovering at a solid pace, the fiscal position has improved substantially, and core inflation remains subdued. Directors noted that fiscal consolidation, exchange rate flexibility, and effective monetary policy would help tackle the challenges ahead and lay the foundations for sustained growth.
Directors agreed that the short-term priority is to limit the impact of the recent commodity-price shock on the most vulnerable and to contain inflationary risks. They welcomed the recent increase in social spending and the authorities' readiness to tighten monetary policy further should inflation pressures persist or credit grow too fast.
For the medium term, Directors observed that the main challenge is to transition from recovery to durable growth by addressing remaining adjustment needs. They supported the authorities' more proactive approach to economic growth, with emphasis on structural reforms in agriculture and targeted public investment. At the same time, it will be important to further reduce the fiscal deficit to a sustainable level. To create sufficient fiscal space so as to enhance social safety nets and avoid an unsustainable compression of other current spending, Directors underscored the need for rationalizing the capital budget and preserving adequate flexibility on the revenue side.
Directors noted that further adjustment is needed to bring the fiscal and external positions to sustainable levels and encouraged the authorities to decisively implement their consolidation strategy. While the cyclical recovery in partner countries and productivity gains from structural reforms should help narrow the deficit, they stressed that exchange rate flexibility should remain a central instrument of adjustment. Directors also encouraged the authorities to increase the issuance of domestic government paper to contain potential external debt rollover risks.
Directors commended the authorities for the successful implementation of reforms to introduce market-based monetary policy instruments and to develop financial markets, which have contributed to increasing the traction of monetary policy. They looked forward to further progress in the transition to inflation targeting, by enhancing the inflation forecasting and modeling capacity, and improving underlying statistics. Directors welcomed the strengthening of financial sector supervision, and recommended continued vigilance in the face of emerging challenges.
Directors broadly agreed with the conclusions of the EPA update of Georgia's economic performance under the two Fund-supported programs. Structural reforms, implemented under the PRGF, have led to a private-sector driven economy. There was, however, some concern that the program in 2004–07 could have been more ambitious in addressing increasing vulnerabilities. The current SBA has been effective in restoring macroeconomic stability in the aftermath of the crisis, but the external and internal adjustment is likely to be incomplete. Directors agreed that addressing remaining vulnerabilities should be at the core of any future program engagement with the Fund.

Is MSG added to foods causing you to gain weight and/or experience other health-related symptoms? The MSG (monosodium glutamate) that various restaurants and some processed/canned food or cold cuts and deli items that manufacturers include on the ingredients label could lead to obesity, metabolic syndrome, progressive liver disease, fatty live, msg-induced migraines, and "hot dog headaches" or "restaurant syndrome," strange feelings of anxiety or facial sensation changes, as well as a wide variety of symptoms. A new study, "A Dietary Restriction Influences the Progression But Not the Initiation of MSG-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis," that identifies MSG as a critical factor in the initiation of obesity and shows that a restrictive diet cannot counteract this effect but can slow the progression of related liver disease is published online March 3, 2014 in the Journal of Medicinal Food, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. For those exploring research on food as medicine, you could take a look at the various studies or their abstracts in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
The commonly used food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been linked to obesity and disorders associated with the metabolic syndrome including progressive liver disease. A new study that identifies MSG as a critical factor in the initiation of obesity and shows that a restrictive diet cannot counteract this effect but can slow the progression of related liver disease is published in Journal of Medicinal Food, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The paper is available on the Journal of Medicinal Food website.
Makoto Fujimoto and a team of international researchers from Japan, the U.S., and Italy monitored the weight gain and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in MSG-treated mice fed either a calorie-restricted or regular diet. They report their findings in the article "A Dietary Restriction Influences the Progression But Not the Initiation of MSG-Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis."
"Although MSG has been deemed a safe food additive, its dosage, interaction with other drugs, effects on vulnerable populations, and effects on chronic inflammatory diseases and neurological diseases are unknown," writes Co-Editor-in-Chief Sampath Parthasarathy, MBA, PhD, in the Editorial "How Safe is Monosodium Glutamate? Exploring the Link to Obesity, Metabolic Disorders, and Inflammatory Disease."
Parthasarathy is Florida Hospital Chair in Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Central Florida, Orlando. He writes in the Editorial, 'How Safe is Monosodium Glutamate? Exploring the Link to Obesity, Metabolic Disorders, and Inflammatory Disease,' the findings by Fujimoto et al. "may have far reaching implications, as childhood obesity is a major problem across the globe," according to the May 27, 2014 news release, "What what role does MSG play in obesity and fatty liver disease?"
If you walk into any type of buffet and ask foodservers whether the food has MSG in it, many wouldn't know what it is or whether it's added to the food or added the cans of foods, sauces, or soups that eventually get added to the restaurant's food, usually because the manager didn't tell the food servers what MSG is, whether it's in that sauce that comes from a can added to the food, or that a percentage of the population has adverse reactions to MSG in food. Some foodservers are savvy enough to know what MSG is and how it affects people, and some eateries do put up signs such as "We add no MSG to the food." The issue then becomes, what about those sauces that are added to the food coming from a factory, where the sauce or other ingredient is in a can and comes with a percentage of MSG already added? Unless the restaurant can whip up a dish of steamed vegetables with no other ingredients added for you on request, you may not really know what's in the food.
The Journal of Medicinal Food is an authoritative, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal published monthly in print and online. Led by Editors-in-Chief Sampath Parthasarathy, MBA, PhD, and Young-Eun Lee, PhD, Wonkwang University, Jeonbuk, Korea, this scientific journal for leaders of the nutraceutical and functional foods revolution publishes original scientific research on the bioactive substances of functional and medicinal foods, nutraceuticals, herbal substances, and other natural products.
The Journal explores the chemistry and biochemistry of these substances, as well as the methods for their extraction and analysis, the use of biomarkers and other methods to assay their biological roles, and the development of bioactive substances for commercial use. Tables of content and a free sample issue may be viewed on the Journal of Medicinal Food website.

MSG headaches?
What about the constant consumption of MSG and high salt in sausages, hot dogs, and smoked meats? Not everybody gets headaches after eating a meal at a buffet restaurant that puts MSG into their foods. But some people get symptoms of various types. The name for MSG symptoms is sometimes referred to as the restaurant syndrome. It used to be called the Chinese restaurant symptom in the past. But why attach an ethnicity to MSG? Sometimes it's called hot dog headache when it's added to processed meats.
Has hot dog headache made you sleepless in Sacramento? See, The dangers of MSG. Overstimulation of that part of the brain can produce marked changes. Are you worried about the effects of glutamic acid on your brain?
You need both sides of the story, of course. So read the studies from the Glutamate Association which conducts research and makes public statements regarding the use and 'safety' of MSG and associated products. See the website, The Glutamate Association. Okay, now you have access to both sides of the story.
Why enhance the flavor with MSG when you can enhance the flavor with herbs, garlic, onion, or cilantro and celery or pepper and curry? If you want to find out whether MSG is safe, instead of asking the FDA, ask the people who have MSG restaurant syndrome. Back in the 1950s, people called it Asian restaurant syndrome. If you want to find out what it feels like, check out the website, Chinese restaurant syndrome.
In Sacramento, any type of restaurant can add MSG to food if it wants to. Usually there are no signs up telling you MSG has been added to food or comes with the canned sauces put in the food. Some restaurants in Sacramento have signs saying "We don't add MSG to the food."
Other Sacramento eateries will tell you they don't add the MSG to food already cooked, but the canned foods and sauces may have MSG. Sometimes soy sauce or oyster sauce may have MSG, but the food cooked in the restaurant don't have added MSG...The sauces have it because they come from another manufacturer outside the restaurant. So check carefully if MSG gives you an adverse or allergic reaction.
The old cliché, " Chinese restaurant syndrome" refers to a collection of symptoms that some people experience after eating Chinese food where the restaurant adds MSG to the food. In the past decades restaurants of many different ethnicities or varieties used to add MSG to food as a flavor extender, to make the flavor stronger in order to coax you to come back again to buy more food that tastes like that. MSG is a food additive called monosodium glutamate (MSG), and has been implicated, but it has not been proved, to be the substance that causes this condition.
The names of MSG adverse reactions include, hot dog headache, glutamate-induced asthma, and MSG (monosodium glutamate) syndrome
Does MSG affect or excite the brain, nervous system, and various organs? See the abstract of the study, "Transplacental neurotoxic effects of monosodium glutamate on structures and functions of specific brain areas of filial mice." Or check out the abstract of the study, "Cognitive and biochemical effects of monosodium glutamate and aspartame, administered individually and in combination in male albino mice."
Back here, in Sacramento, a few years ago one individual sitting across from me eating a soup that contained MSG, said she felt as if her cheek bones were protruding forward through her skin. This feeling of facial pressure is one of the typical symptoms of an adverse reaction to MSG in any given food. She didn't like the symptoms, which went away when she stopped eating fast food containing MSG to extend the flavor.
MSG flavor extender and its effects on the brain
According to the Chinese restaurant syndrome article, "In 1968, reports of a series of reactions to Chinese food were first described. MSG was reported to cause these symptoms, but subsequent research produced conflicting data. Many studies were performed, but a majority failed to show a connection between MSG and the symptoms that some people describe after eating Chinese food. For this reason, MSG continues to be used in some meals. However, it is possible that some people are particularly sensitive to food additives, and MSG is chemically similar to one of the brain's most important neurotransmitters, glutamate."
The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome article also noted the symptoms of MSG reactions. Note, that it's not just Asian restaurants that put MSG into food. It can be any restaurant in Sacramento that can put MSG in food if the restaurant wants to. The idea is to find out before you sit down in a restaurant whether MSG is in which foods.
Many times, here in Sacramento, club meetings take place in restaurants where the food is full of MSG. So check before your pay in advance when making a reservation if the food served has MSG and whether you get adverse reactions to it. Not everyone has adverse reactions. Do you? Also see the article, Hot Dog Headache - RightHealth.
Maybe you're getting tired of the MSG (monosodium glutamate) in some fast-food restaurants in Sacramento. You'll find MSG more in restaurants that serve Asian or Pacific Islands foods, but not always. So just ask the manager to ask the cook whether there is MSG in all foods, or some foods. MSG enhances flavor. But it may also make a few changes in your brain chemistry. If you want to read about neurodegenerative symptoms, check out the study, Histological and biochemical effects of monosodium glutamate on on the frontal lobe of adult Wistar rats. Okay, rats shouldn't be eating food containing MSG, but what about people? There have been some human clinical trials.
The conclusion of that study, Histological and biochemical effects of monosodium glutamate on on the frontal lobe of adult Wistar rats noted the following information: "The side effects of its consumption on the frontal lobe have been shown from this study based on the biochemical and histological alterations observed. It has been shown that nerve cell degeneration and brain lesions result from MSG consumption.
How might the changes affect your brain?
"These changes might affect locomotion, reasoning, memory, language, and social and sexual behavior. With these results, it is feasible that the functions of the frontal lobe as the organ for executive decision may be adversely affected. It is recommended that further research be carried out investigating the effects of MSG on specific areas of the frontal lobe (for instance, Broca's speech area) and other parts of the brain."
Are you still ready to enhance or extend flavor with MSG? When any given restaurant enhances flavor in foods with MSG, it's to bring you back again to buy more food next time you eat there. So the goal in many cases is to make money for the restaurant, especially when competition is keen between restaurants.
There are quite a few Chinese restaurants in Sacramento that have put up signs or listed on their menus that they add no MSG to the food. Maybe they add no MSG, but what about all those canned sauces for example, packaged soy sauce or canned oyster sauce that come from manufacturers outside the restaurant that may have added MSG? Even some canned soups have MSG. If you check the supermarket label, you'll notice a few popular soup brands have taken out the MSG they had in there a decade or more ago and substituted processed salt or sea salt.
Symptoms of adverse and/or allergic MSG reactions include the following, according to the Chinese restaurant syndrome article
Chest pain
Numbness or burning in or around the mouth
Sense of facial pressure or swelling
Chinese restaurant syndrome is usually diagnosed based on the symptoms. The health care provider may ask the following questions as well: Have you eaten Chinese food within the past 2 hours? Have you eaten any other food that may contain monosodium glutamate within the past 2 hours?
The following signs may also be used to aid in diagnosis
- Abnormal heart rhythm observed on an electrocardiogram
- Decreased air entry into the lungs
- Rapid heart rate
Treatment depends on the symptoms. Most, such as headache or flushing, need no treatment. Life-threatening symptoms require immediate medical attention. They may be similar to any other severe allergic reaction and include symptoms:
Chest pain
Heart palpitations
Shortness of breath
Swelling of the throat
Most people recover from mild cases of Chinese restaurant syndrome without treatment and with no lasting problems. People who have experienced life-threatening reactions need to be extremely cautious about what they eat and should always carry medication prescribed by their doctor for emergency treatment.
According to the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome article, "If you experience any symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain, or swelling of the lips or throat, go to the nearest emergency room immediately."

What 10 food additives or shortenings used by some Sacramento restaurants and eateries or sold by manufacturers to supply cafeterias, restaurants, and eateries are considered most toxic to your health and yet labeled as safe to put in food or use as shortening?
Possible Health Effects of Various Processed Food Additives
Why raise your risk of health problems? Many Sacramento restaurants use vegetables, binders, fillers, or extenders to flesh out the volume of other foods. But basically, any food that has been canned, dehydrated, or had chemicals added to it is a processed food can be one of the toxic ingredients. These additives make up about 60 percent of the average American diet. Here's a list of toxic foods to avoid. For more information, check out the article, "Processed Food Pitfalls: Top 10 Toxic Food Ingredients," by Jillian Michaels, creator of JillianMichaels.com, published at the Everyday Health site.
When you read the article, "Processed Food Pitfalls: Top 10 Toxic Food Ingredients," you'll see in detail what the various food ingredients mentioned may do to your body. Food mentioned include the hydrogenated oils/transfats, some artificial sweeteners, white flour, BHA, a preservative put in packaging, MSG, and certain artifical food colorings. So check out that article for explanations what those ingredients may do to your body.
Also mentioned in the top toxic food article are some products made with white flour such as pasta. You also can refer to my January 17, 2011 Examiner.com article on not always eating white rice, white bread, or white beans. See, Don't eat white foods in the evening - Sacramento Nutrition Examiner. It's just that colorful red and black beans have more nutrition than white beans. But when it comes to bread, that whole wheat bread will raise your blood sugar just as much as the slice of white bread. And when it comes to transfats, skip them.

BYU basketball report card: No Haws magic this time as Cougars fall to No. 12 Wichita State
There was no Tyler Haws magic this time for BYU.
The Cougars trailed No. 12 Wichita State by just three with 2:10 remaining but were outscored 11-1 by the Shockers to close the game, aided by Nate Austin's ejection and Dave Rose's technical. The final score of 75-62 was not indicative of the competitive nature of the contest.
The Shockers shockingly held BYU to just seven assists on the night, compared to their 13. They also outshot the Cougars from the field and the free-throw line, out-rebounded them, had more steals and blocks and had fewer turnovers. It is somewhat surprising then that BYU still had a chance to win in the closing minutes.
It is debatable whether Wichita State is truly a top-15 team. What is not debatable is that the Shockers made the Final-4 last season and returned a significant amount of their players this year. Considering the competition, and the fact BYU did not bring its A-game Tuesday night, it's a positive sign that the Cougars will be able to compete in every game they play if they can make progress in a few areas.
Here is a more detailed breakdown with grades for each BYU position group and other aspects of the game.
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
I think your analysis is right on the money. 7 assists, poor free throw shooting, forced shots and a marginal zone defense all contributed to the loss. How do we know BYU isn't athletic enough to play man to man? It can't be too much worse than that zone. Teams aren't missing shots because they are closely contested, they're just missing open shots. We can't hope for that to continue all year.

Lets not get too excited about this game and its overall outcome. BYU has played 7 games, they start a newly returned missionary, a true freshman and the bench is young for the most part. Let them get some time in and when the WCC begins I think you will see a superior team and a top 20 ranking by seasons end.

The analysis and comments are similar to what we heard last spring during our tourny run. Teams said they played their worst game of the year. It was due to in large part to our defense. Specifically, Tekele Cotton covered Haws during the first half and Carlino in the second. Their production is reflected in his smothering effort. He is our MVP. Good luck the rest of the year. Maybe we meet in March Madness.

Given the chance, I highly recommend anyone to make the investment of time and money to watch a winery evolve from its very first vintage. It doesn't take much, just buying a bottle or two every year from a brand new winery that you think shows some promise, and then drinking them.
Such observation is a wonderful study in personality. You get to see, or perhaps more accurately, taste, how a winemaker settles into a winery and its vineyards, and how he or she begins to express whatever it is that can be expressed through the wines.
I've had the pleasure of watching Arista Winery since it made its official commercial debut about 4 years ago. If I had to characterize my first impression of the personality that was expressed in the very first bottling I might use the words "confident" or "steady." That personality has been borne out over several vintages, as Arista has gradually expanded its portfolio of single vineyard Pinot Noirs.
Arista Winery is run by John Copeland and Al McWilliams. Orthodontist Al McWilliams and his wife wanted to live and work in Sonoma County ever since they first visited from Texarkana, Texas. When Al gained a brother-in-law in wine industry veteran John Copeland, that dream became a reality. In 1996 the two started a winery called Pine Mountain Vineyards just outside of Cloverdale. That project, however, was just a stepping stone towards their shared dream of making Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. In 2003, these two purchased fruit from several vineyards in the area while looking for a piece of land to start their own winery. In early 2004 they found that land: 36 prime acres of land on Westside Road near Healdsburg, just down the road from neighbors Rochioli Vineyards and Williams Selyem.
The Arista wines are made by Leslie Sisneros, who comes to the estate from nearly 13 years as a winemaker for Rodney Strong, Chateau St. Jean, Haywood, John Culbertson, Vinwood, and most recently, Kendall Jackson. At Kendall-Jackson she was responsible for a large portion of their entire four-tier portfolio of Pinot Noirs, and in this position she made wines from a majority of the major Pinot growing areas of Northern California. Sisneros also has a degree in Viticulture from UC Davis.
These days, Leslie is assisted in the cellar by Mark McWilliams, Al's son, who also runs the tasting room with his wife Jennifer. Their latest project is a 12 acre vineyard planted on their estate which will begin producing in a couple of years. For now, they continue to get their fruit from some top quality growers in the Russian River Valley and a couple of places farther afield.
These vineyard sites are small enough for Leslie to make row-by-row harvesting decisions, as well as to carefully ensure each vine bears the optimum level of fruit. The grapes are always hand harvested, ideally before sunrise, and sorted twice in the field, and then again when the bins reach the winery, and then one more time, before the grapes are crushed, fermented, and shepherded into the new French oak that all the wines age in, for periods of time ranging from 8 months to 18 months.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on whose perspective you take, the winery's single vineyard bottlings have faced increasing demand and are now only available to mailing list customers.
Full disclosure: I received these wines as a press samples.
2007 Arista Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Light garnet in color, this wine has a nose of peeled willow bark, cranberry relish, and unripe raspberries. In the mouth it is smooth, with somewhat simple flavors of raspberry and cranberry with a hint of green wood and spice on the finish. Tasty, but not profound. Score: between 8.5 and 9. Cost: $34. Where to buy?
2007 Arista "Mononi Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Light to medium garnet in color, this wine smells of violets, plums, and black raspberries. In the mouth it is incredibly juicy and bright with black raspberry and pomegranate fruit qualities and a beautiful aromatic sweetness that lingers through the finish with a hint of green wood. Only 74 cases produced. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $65.
2007 Arista "Bacigalupi Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Light to medium ruby in color, this wine had a bright nose of peeled willow bark, and bright cherry aromas. In the mouth, smooth texture is followed by cranberry and pomegranate flavors with excellent acid balance and a deeper darker quality to the wine. Score: around 9. Cost: $56.
2007 Arista "Longbow" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Light ruby in color with a faint cloudiness, this wine has a nose of peeled willow bark, cranberries, and a nice floral note. In the mouth it is smooth and bright with spicy plum and cranberry flavors carried by very nice acidity and an underlying note of wet, green wood that gives the wine some pleasing dimension. Score: around 9. Cost: $44. Where to buy?
2007 Arista "Perli Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Mendocino Ridge
Light ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of cranberry, pomegranate, and hibiscus aromas. In the mouth it is silky at first, but then grippy with light, leathery tannins that wrap around flavors of cranberry and raspberry with hints of wet wood on the finish. A slight heat creeps up the back of the throat with this wine. Despite that, it's hard not to like. Score: around 9. Cost: $56.
2007 Arista "Toboni Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
Light ruby in color, this wine has a bright nose of peeled willow bark, white flowers, and raspberries. In the mouth the wine is satin-like on the tongue, and possesses a beautiful and mouthwatering savory note of miso or umami that begs you to swallow the raspberry and cranberry fruit that follows. A nice finish melds these two components, bright with acidity, into a pleasing aftertaste that is worth contemplating silently. Score: between 9 and 9.5. Cost: $56.

When It's at Night episode 1 Review
I was anticipating to watch Kim Sun Ah's & LDG's new drama, When Night Comes or When it's at Night and at episode 1 I fell asleep literally. The plot is not catching my attention. Womanizer Lee Dong Gun meets Cultural Protector Officer Kim Sun Ah and end up on a mission. Is there Drama? No, Action? Not really, Humor? Some scenes but not funny in my opinion. You don't get the My-Girl or Full House effect, to me at least. I don't know what drama wants to be but Episode 1 was disappointing. I'm still having episode 2 lying around and don't know if I should continue watching it or not.

text: Aug 2, 2014 23:59 Hairston transfers to Rice Hairston transfers to Rice Advocate file photo by BILL FEIG -- LSU place-kicker James Hairston kicks off against Ole Miss laSt season at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss. Hairston transferred to Rice in hopes of adding field goals to his kickoff duties. Advocate staff report July 21, 2014; 11:55 p.m. Comments Former LSU kickoff specialist James Hairston transferred to Rice, the school announced Monday. Hairston, a rising senior, was the primary handler of LSU's kickoffs over the previous three seasons. He announced his departure in March because he wants a shot at kicking field goals. A graduate of LSU in finance, Hairston is eligible to play this season under NCAA rules. Hairston is a Dallas native, and he has an uncle who played football and baseball for Rice. Hairston has kicked all of LSU's kickoffs the past two seasons. He handled the kickoff duties in 11 of 14 games during his freshman season in 2011. Forty-five of Hairston's 86 kickoffs last season went for a touchbacks, and he had a 63-yard average. Colby Delahoussaye, a freshman walk-on, won the job kicking field goals last season. He made 13 of 14 attempts. Hairston's absence leaves the kickoff job open to a group of players, including Delahoussaye, signee Cameron Gamble, sophomore Trent Domingue and redshirt freshman Alex Kjellsten. Delahoussaye was listed as the starting kickoff man in LSU's preseason depth chart, followed by Domingue. REPORT: Mettenberger puched in bar: Former LSU and current Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger was sucker punched in a Nashville bar, according to the bar's owner. The Tennessean posted a story Monday afternoon detailing the incident. The Titan did not comment to the newspaper. Steve Ford, owner of Loser's Most Wanted Bar & Grill on Division Street, said Mettenberger did nothing to provoke another bar patron, but the quarterback ended up getting punched in the face. He did not require medical attention, the newspaper reported. "Here's the truth: The guy said something about 'Roll Tide!' to Zach, and Zach turned around and said 'Good luck with that,'" Ford told The Tennessean. "And the guy's buddy then sucker-punched Zach."

It seems that Microsoft is borrowing some features from smartphones and tablets that was found to be very useful when a novice user is faced with difficult problems. Though some problems could be easy for others to solve, this could be different from a perspective of an early adopter of a particular gadget. Having said this, being knowledgeable that a particular feature exists would be beneficial especially if this feature can solve your problem. Also this will provide you another option that will save you from incurring extra costs by hiring a technical expert.
We all know that laptop and desktop PC's were very prone to computer viruses that could damage important and sensitive files. Additionally the daily wear and tear could also lead to system files to become corrupted making your laptop or desktop computer slow or to behave differently. Though there are known solutions out there available for the taking, the steps involve could be tedious and highly technical for a normal user to perform. For example, some solutions might involve repairing Windows using the CD installer. But of course you need to manually re-install all the drivers again so that your computer will be at its best. Then after the re-installation process you have to customize again all the settings like wallpapers, themes, widgets etc. To simplify the restore process at least for the very tedious installation part, Microsoft has introduced new features in Windows 8 – Reset PC and Refresh PC.
The Reset PC as the name implies will restore everything back to Day 1, yes the day you first bought your Windows 8 machine. As I have said previously, this feature works similarly to 'Reset to Factory Settings' option found on smartphones and tablets today. So be careful if you are planning to use this feature because it will wipe all your data. Remember to make a backup copy of all your data on an external drive to avoid data loss.
How to Use "Reset PC" Option in Windows 8?
1. Move your mouse cursor to top-right corner to show Charms Bar. Alternatively, you can press Win+C keys together to access it.
2. Now click on Settings and then click on "Change PC settings" option.
3. It'll open new Metro Control Panel screen. Click on "General" tab and in right-side pane, you'll see "Remove everything and reinstall Windows" option.
4. Click on "Get started" button and Windows will show you Reset PC wizard.
5. Just follow the next set of instructions and your Windows will be restored back to its former glory.
On the other hand, there's also the Refresh PC in Windows 8 that can help you to quickly recover from Windows system related problems. Why? Because this feature does not reset everything back to Day 1. Just like Reset PC, it will re-install Windows 8 but it will also keep your personal files as well as different desktop settings to be restored back after the installation. Take note that the personal settings and files are stored in a different location so you don't have to worry about it. So here it is.
How to Use "Refresh PC" Option in Windows 8?
1. Similar to "Reset PC" option, "Refresh PC" option is also present in new Metro Control Panel screen. So first follow the same 1-3 steps given above to access "General" tab present in PC Settings screen.
2. Now in right-side pane, look for "Refresh your PC without affecting your files" option.
3. Click on "Get started" button and Windows will show the Refresh PC wizard.
4. Again, just follow the next set of instructions and your Windows will be restored back to its former glory.
Have you tried reinstalling Windows 8 from scratch? Tedious isn't it? Would you give Reset PC and Refresh PC a try? Credit goes to Vishal Gupta for the instructions above.

A new bill introduced in the California legislature aims to spur the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex to revamp its PierPass system.
Port of Los Angeles
Press Releases
28 Aug 2015
The California Trucking Association tied its support of truck appointments at Los Angeles-Long Beach container terminals to creation of port-wide metrics to gauge the appointments' effectiveness.
27 Aug 2015
In a high-risk, possibly high-reward attempt to manage truck flow and reduce congestion, 10 of the 13 container terminals in Los Angeles-Long Beach on Thursday adopted a trucker appointment system action plan with the goal of establishing a system of appointments throughout the harbor beginning in 2016.
25 Aug 2015
The Port of Oakland's announcement last week that it intends to open its terminal gates an extra day each week demonstrates two hard, cold facts about U.S. port operations in this era of big ships. The traditional menu of five weekday gates each week is no longer adequate to handle today's cargo volumes, but extra gates cost money, and someone — often the shipper — has to pick up the tab.
14 Aug 2015
Containerized cargo volumes at the Port of Los Angeles dropped 1.5 percent year-over-year in July, with a 16.4 percent drop in loaded export containers accounting for much of that decline.
14 Aug 2015
It will be roughly two weeks before U.S. ports can truly determine how much impact the explosions at Tianjin, the world's tenth-busiest port, will have on traffic.
13 Aug 2015
The average time to complete a trucking transaction at Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex in July fell by four minutes from the prior month, but no one is celebrating.
11 Aug 2015
Container ships greater than 10,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units calling at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in July experienced significantly longer berth stays than the overall vessel average, with Long Beach also recording greater mega-ships arrival delays than the industry average, CargoSmart data has found.
29 Jul 2015
Los Angeles-Long Beach is moving slowly toward a dual system of drayage in which some drivers are becoming unionized employees, while others prefer to remain independent contractors. Eventually, the result could be a sufficient pool of drivers to serve the 13 container terminals in the largest U.S. port complex, resulting in service and pricing consistency for the shippers that depend on harbor drivers.
29 Jul 2015
California's Freight Advisory Committee met Tuesday in Sacramento to begin the process of implementing Gov. Jerry Brown's executive order to develop a statewide sustainable freight policy that will transition ports, motor carriers, railroads and other transportation modes toward zero emissions.
23 Jul 2015
PierPass Inc. on its 10th anniversary Thursday was basking in the warmth of comments from political and environmental leaders recognizing the program that was created by the terminal operators in Los Angeles-Long Beach for successfully mitigating daytime port-generated traffic.
23 Jul 2015
California port executives Thursday urged key legislative representatives meeting in Oakland to invest in the state's priority trade corridors to stem the loss of cargo to competing North American ports.

The Tree and the Vine
Afterword by Lillian Faderman
This courageous early work of lesbian fiction (1951) tells the gripping story of two women torn between desires and taboos in the years leading up to the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. Erica, a reckless young journalist, pursues passionate but abusive affairs with different women. Bea, a reserved secretary, grows increasingly obsessed with Erica —yet denial and shame keep her from recognizing her attraction. Only Bea's discovery that Erica is half-Jewish and a member of the Dutch resistance—and thus very much in danger—brings her closer to accepting her own feelings.
"This compelling . . . novel allows us entry into a world in which the word lesbian is unspeakable and to be a Jew is unspeakably dangerous."
"A masterful depiction of the love of two women, one of whom loves without understanding her own sensuality, while the other indulges in passions with little concept of love."
"The Tree and the Vine carries the reader along, perfect for one long winter night. Exciting reading!"

"Does Ashton Kutcher have Webbed Feet?" & "Was Halle Berry Named After a Shopping Center?" How well do you know your celebrity urban legends?
The quiz can be found at http://www.twolittlefleas.co.uk/urban-legends/
So what's the point... marketers constantly question: are consumers really so easy to swayed by an A-lister? According to Mirre Stallen of Erasmus University, the answer is yes. A team of scientists recently discovered that women's brains respond differently to images of unknown people versus images of celebrities wearing the same pair of shoes.
When a celebrity was shown in the footwear, feelings of affection were recorded in the viewer's brain activity – creating a memorable link which could more easily be recalled at a later date. TwoLittleFleas.co.uk's research, which polled a total 854 UK respondents with the question "have you ever bought a product because a celebrity endorsed it?", tallies with this research - women make up the majority of participants who answered "yes".
• 30% of respondents had bought an item because of celebrity endorsement
• 66% of celebrity endorsed product buyers were women
• 34% of celebrity endorsed product buyers were men
• 41.2% of those who answered "yes" were aged 18-24
While women are clearly most influenced by celebrity endorsement, TwoLittleFleas.co.uk's statistics indicate that younger age groups are far more likely to be swayed by celebrity affiliation with a product or brand. This pattern, too, is widely recognized. An interesting article from The Globe on the subject includes an illuminating quote from 16-year-old, Tiffany Goonitelleke :
"I love to have the same things like clothes, shoes, or accessories as my favorite singer Gwen Stefani," having these items, she says, make the younger generation "part of the cool fashion trends going on."
Yet there do seem to be a few rules surrounding celebrity endorsement. While Harvard Business School's study "The Economic Value of Celebrity Endorsements" concludes that: ""In general enlisting the help of celebrity endorsers pays off.", there are exceptions...
For example, celebrities who endorse a great many products often lose credibility. Equally, celebrities who receive negative press coverage tend to be swiftly dropped by brands as they can have a harmful effect on brand perception. In 2009, for instance, Tiger Woods was swiftly dropped by Accenture after his notorious bout with bad publicity.
Do you buy because your fav celeb endorsed a product you are interested in purchasing?

(China Defense Mashup Report by Johnathan Weng) Now we have known that the this new helical-feed machine gun has a design name : CF-08PDW, but the manufacturer information ia unvailable. Before it, the Changfeng helical-feed SMG has been well-known in world. Changfeng helical-feed SMG was inspired by U.S.'s Calico Weapon in early 1990s and Chinese designer invented a new helical magazine to realize rapid manual loading. At beginning, Changfeng helical-feed SMG is developed for PLA special forces, but PLA finally pass off this weapon for its experimental design.

That sound like a fake (photoshop work or an airsoft custom) cause you could see a mag in handel/grip and the helical mag in uper.

Cape Ann Brewery
Met a lovely couple from Acton at the Brewery on Friday. Guess what, the Brewery is growing their own hops. Great view and weather on Friday.

The Four Legged Faithful are a band made up of 4 ordinary men who all thrive on playing music together. Their aim is not to play traditional folk or bluegrass music, but instead to create beautiful, heart-felt, and genuine music using traditional folk/bluegrass instruments. They create a sound that is honest and reflects the band's many musical influences from nearly all genres. All members sing; creating multiple combinations of 2, 3, and 4-part harmonies. All members write and sing songs about their thoughts, families, and the natural world that surrounds them. For a band without a drummer, The Four Legged Faithful achieve an incredible level of intensity using foot percussion and layered rhythms throughout every measure. Check out this video and go see them on Saturday November 23rd.
The Barbara and Al Boudreau Jazz Quartet
Jazz Session with Kate Barry, Zach Gorrell & Steve Lace
5:00 – 8:00
Henri Smith and his band for a
Costume Dance Party
Starting at 9:00pm
Mardi-Gras-O-Ween with Henri Smith New Orleans Friends & Flavours at Cape Ann Brewery on Halloween night — that's exactly 2 weeks from tonight (Thursday) at 8pm.
This will be fun blending of two great traditions. A good time is guaranteed for all. Costumes are more than welcome.
Plus it's a great way to get you psyched for Henri's special Christmas concert at the fully restored, historic Larcom Theatre in Beverly on December 14. Now, remember, as Fly Amero said (in this post) Beverly is NOT "up the line" it's "virtually next-door … right down the street from us". Best of all, the Larcom is a gorgeous theatre with perfect sound. The best seats are going fast, so get tickets here.
Annual visitor form Minneapolis, New Jersey, and North Carolina enjoy a meal at Cape Ann Brewery. Great reflection of the harbor.
Start at Captain Carlos with Cripple Cove Quartet at 5. Walk out the door to catch Alek Razdan & A-Train at Harbor Loop at 6:30, followed by Johnny Carwash. Then you can walk to Rhumb Line to see Punk legend, Wille Loco, with Dave Sag.
Yes, I said walk. It's not that far. If you're not from Gloucester check out Google's Walking Directions (still in beta, but they work well). Here are Google's directions for the 13 minute walk from Harbor Loop to Rhumbline. And it's a nice walk — especially on a night like tonight.
While they're on break you can walk down to the Dog Bar, Brew Pub and Minglewood. No cover for any of these shows tonight, so start the weekened NOW!
Trouble deciding where to go? See the full live music schedule here.
The deck is open. We eat outside because Cape Ann Brew Pub is full inside. People had come to hear Chelsea Berry and her friends and to support Boston Strong.
After dinner, there's room to stand inside to see the music. It's a relaxed, fun, lively atmosphere. But it's loud. People are talking over the music. You've been there right? The band turns up. The crowd talks louder. It begins to feel like a contest. Most musicians hate this. They'd rather be playing to a listening crowd.
Chelsea sings her song, "Blues House", which is about this very problem. From the back, it's hard to hear her over the crowd. But it's too loud in there to carry on a conversation either. I've always puzzled about this singer vs. crowd phenomenon.
Then something magical happens. Chelsea sings her signature a cappella song, "King of Rome" and does something unexpected. She leaves the mic. Chelsea's powerful voice is still heard over the din. And the sheer power of her presence and performance begins to quiet the crowd. Finally all you can hear is Chelsea's soaring song about Charlie and his racing pigeon accompanied by the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen as if it were an off-stage percussion section.
Singer vs. crowd. Singer wins. But so does the crowd. Live music takes you to a place you simply cannot experience any other way.
BTW: This is the 100th anniversary of the 1001 mile race from Rome to England that Charlie Hudson's racing pigeon, The King of Rome, won in 1913.
Anybody who follows us on GMG knows the depth of talent living on Cape Ann (plus, I tried to capture it in an article for The Noise called Vintage Cape Ann — you can see it below the Brad Byrd interview here). Now, it seems that major talent is arriving from off island more and more — especially when you look at the live music schedule for this weekend and next week. Here are a few highlights:
TONIGHT: Swingle Singers at Shalin Liu — they're always bringing in great musicians from out of town.
TOMORROW: Henri Smith New Orleans Friends & Flavours at Cape Ann Brewery. Well, we could almost say that Henri is from Gloucester — he's been here since Katrina.
SATURDAY: Isaac Hayden at The Grove Cafe in Manchester. Isaac comes all way from Nashville. This new boutique/coffee house is beginning to pack the place with people who appreciate good music.
Thursday @ The Gloucester House – Berklee in Gloucester – World-renowned Berklee Professors performing with Top Students to raise money to send Gloucester students Berklee. The first of this year's series kicks off with The Jim Odgren Quintet.
Sunday @ the UU Church – Free BSO Chamber Music Concert – The Boston Symphony Orchestra has chosen Gloucester to launch its 2012-13 Community Chamber Concerts series. What a coup for Gloucester!
Keep an eye on next week's live music schedule. More shows tend to get added at the last minute.
As most people know I cannot eat Seafood, Boo.. But Rick can and the Cape Ann Brewery is very careful about food allergies, which I thank them, Rick's fish and chips and my hamburger were yummy
My Burger was also yummy

Instead of a scratchy or pinching hook-and-loop strap, POC's Index Air Gloves use a soft spandex-covered hem and elastic gusset to keep them in place. They're plenty light for XC use, yet they feel sturdy enough for dirt jumping, street riding, and multi-day adventures in the high mountains.
The Index Air gloves cover the back of your hand with a durable yet light and breathable nylon mesh, while the palm is made of perforated synthetic suede. It's textured to offer a supreme grip on your bars. It's also quite sensitive, so you'll be able to snap off exact shifts just when you need them. POC also added silicone grippers on your braking fingers so you don't slip off the levers while you're braking hard.
The POC Index Air Gloves are available in sizes X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Bohrium Red, Uranium Black, Tihalium Green, and Aluminum Grey.

Breathable but not the most durable glov
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Very light and good grip but just like the person below, it wears quickly. All in all it's an ok glove with a good fit though.
Loved these at first.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love everything about these gloves with the exception of the workmanship. I've worn them on four rides, and already blew out the stitching as pictured.
Pros: comfortable, lightweight and cool, touchscreen compatible. Grippy. The articulated fingers are nice. No fingertip seam rub that drives me crazy.
Cons: you need to be a seamstress to make them last.
Overall, for the price, I'm pretty disappointed.
Good to know, as I'm tough on gloves. Maybe I'll just stick with Fox?

New whitepaper: Cross-Site Load Balancing: Data agility with Oracle Multitenant: A Proof of Concept
By B R Clouse-Oracle on Jan 27, 2015
Just posted on the Private Database Cloud OTN page, a new white paper describes a configuration consisting of two separate sites running Oracle Database 12c, with data replication between the sites. By leveraging Oracle Multitenant, the paper shows how moving a PDB from one site to the other enables a high degree of agility. There are several scenarios where this agility can enable smoother IT operations, such as:
- balance load across the two sites by moving competing PDBs away from each other
- offload a site that needs maintenance
- prepare for a burst of activity at one site by moving unassociated or lower-priority PDBs to the other site
Watch for more details and examples in upcoming blog postings.

Chemical Eye Burns (cont.)
Chemical Eye Burn Causes
Most chemical eye injuries occur at work. Industries use a variety of chemicals daily. However, chemical injuries also frequently occur at home from cleaning products or other regular household products; these injuries can be just as dangerous and must be treated seriously and immediately.
Chemical burns to the eye can be divided into three categories: alkali burns, acid burns, and irritants.
The acidity or alkalinity, called the pH, of a substance is measured on a scale from 1-14, with 7 indicating a neutral substance. Substances with pH values less than 7 are acids, while numbers higher than 7 are alkaline; the higher or lower the number, the more acidic or basic a substance is and the more damage it can cause.
