What is microcurrent technology?
There are many different disciplines in the vast field of electrophysical technology. Their conjunctive relationship is the natural electrical current operating within the body. One difference between each discipline is the method of approach to the body with respect to this current.
Microcurrent is not only a term, but also a technology that grew out of the expansive field of electrophysiology. Modern medical science acknowledges multiple processes in the body that are electrical. Every cell in the body can be seen as an "electrical generator" which generates electrical currents. These currents are measured often by means of electrical activities in the skin (GSR), the brain (EEG), the heart (EKG), and the muscles (EMG). (Moss) Microcurrent technology works hand in hand with these currents. This technology recognizes the body as a self-healing organism and supports its many natural occurring functions. In turn, microcurrent achieves a variety of results in the many facets of youth, health and wellness.
"Weak stimuli increases physiologic activity and
very strong stimuli inhibit or abolish activity."
-Arndt-Shultz Law
The human body is an electrical being and the health of it depends on the energy currents that run through the body. When the body suffers a trauma, (acne, sprain, fatigue etc ... ) it encapsulates itself in some manner for healing purposes (inflammation, swelling, spasm etc ... ). During a healing crisis such as this, normally free flowing currents will circumvent the area of trauma and travel around it. This happens because electrical current always takes the path of least resistance. (Arndt,Schulz) As a result, the flow of electricity in the traumatized area is significantly reduced or possibly void. At this point, the body as a self-healing organism is not recovering optimally.
Coupled with a trauma and a healing crisis, the details of the body's needs are now more severe. In order to return to a homeostatic condition the body must regenerate and heal itself. This process begins within the body at the cellular level. The injured cells need increased oxygen, protein synthesis, ion exchange and Aden osi ne Tri phosphate (ATP). (Cheng) The polarity of the cells must be re-balanced, waste and toxins must be eliminated quickly and the absorption of nutrients and reduction of microbes is essential.
Microcurrent stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is stored cellular energy that allows a cell to function. This in turn triggers the body's natural bio-chemical healing process. This process allows intracellular fluids to be restored, electrolyte levels to be replenished, and the absorption of nutrients. The stimulation of intracellular calcium further strengthens cellular balance and healing. Amino acid uptake is increased, as well as protein synthesis, which assists in tissue repair. Blood circulation and lymphatic flow are increased. These vital functions are increased five fold with microcurrent technology to promote optimal healing and regeneration of cells and tissue. (Cheng)
Microcurrent uses a direct current that travels in a waveform. It is a current with extremely low amperage that operates optimally below the threshold of pain. It is operable only between 1 and 1000 micro-amps. It is completely normal for people to feel next to nothing during microcurrent treatments.
The operator usually directs the current with probes, pads, or gloves. Microcurrent is utilized worldwide to facilitate and promote healing, regenerate epithelial tissue, and rejuvenate muscle tissue. (Alvarez)
In the esthetics arena microcurrent is primarily utilized to treat serious demands and indications such as muscle lifting and toning, skin firming, acne, pigmentation, scars, pre and post-op healing, cellulite treatments, product ionization, and lymphatic drainage of the face and body. It is a popular non-invasive technology, which gives the client freedom to attain antiaging goals without the recovery and downtime of surgeries and other aggressive treatments. Contraindictions for microcurrent use include chronic illness, pacemakers, pregnancy, epilepsy, thrombosis,phlebitis, and cancer.
Microcurrent technology provides a re-education to muscles. Clinicians can tone and lift muscles on the face or body with microcurrent by using lengthening and shortening techniques. This is achieved by targeting the origin and insertion points of the muscles.
A lengthening technique is typically used on a contractile muscle, such as the corruga- muscle located between the eyebrows. The clinician is able to manipulate the corrugator muscle with microcurrent in order to relax and re-educate it. As a result, the deep creases that can appear between the brows are significantly diminished. The same re-eclucative principles are used for shortening techniques. The masseter muscle, also known as the cheek, is prone to elongate, commonly referred to as elastosis. To combat elastosis, microcurrent is used from the origin and insertion points to shorten the muscle and re-educate it to stay tone and tight, thereby reversing the effects of aging.
Microcurrent technology offers a concept that is preventative for younger clients and rejuvenating for mature clients. Mature clients usually experience dramatic results that are almost always immediate and continue to improve and sustain with repetitive treatments. A standard treatment course would ideally consist of 10 - 12 treatments over a period of four to six weeks and a maintenance treatment every month to retain the improved muscle tone.
Pre and post-op microcurrent treatments can amplify results and promote healing function 5 times faster than the body is normally capable of performing during a healing crisis. Depending on the circumstances, this treatment can facilitate desired outcomes such as less scarring, crusting, and inflammation.
Cellulite treatments are heightened by utilizing microcurrent to increase blood circulation, metabolism, and lymphatic flow, all of which help to combat the fatty pockets which settle into colonies of excess fat beneath the surface of the skin.
Lymphatic drainage techniques are enhanced with microcurrent as it facilitates the lymph to move more readily to the terminus. Microcurrent uses a negative current at the terminus, and the positive current for the manipulation of the lymphatic fluids. The lymph is readily drawn toward the negative charge at terminus for proper drain age. This procedure can be done through manual manipulation with the use of gloves or unattended with the use of pads. Lymphatic procedures are beneficial to heal and purify the cells of the body.

If you've never tasted fresh lemonade, you don't know what you're missing. It's just so much more vivid than the supermarket stuff, much more about the lemon and less about the sugar.
True, juicing the lemons can be a pain, but the process becomes very near painless if you start by softening the lemons in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then all you have to do is add sugar syrup — a mixture of sugar and water, heated until the sugar is dissolved — and some cold water. Done.

Who says salsa has to be made from tomatoes? Or dumped unceremoniously from a jar?
With all of summer's bounty, there are plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables that make fantastic salsas. Scoop them up with chips or crackers, or add them to sandwiches, salads, burgers and tacos. We came up with three simple salsas, but they are easily tweaked to whatever is fresh or happens to be in your refrigerator. Switch out the apples for peaches or plums, even chopped strawberries. Don't like dill? Opt for basil or tarragon.

Broccoli Ham Ring RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 pound boneless fully cooked ham, cubed
- 2-1/4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Unroll crescent roll dough and place triangles on a 12-in. pizza pan, forming a ring with pointed ends facing outer edge of pan and wide ends overlapping. Lightly press wide ends together.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; spoon over wide ends of rolls. Fold points over filling and tuck under wide ends (filling will be visible).
- Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Reviews for Broccoli Ham Ring
"This is tasty. I served it along side of soup. The flavors are good. Next time I'll use a little less broccoli and a little more ham. I'm glad I chopped the broccoli pretty small. That made it easy to bite, and probably cook through, too. The broccoli ended up tender. The assembly part was tricky, tucking the points under. Maybe I will make a smaller circle, with more overlap. The filling kept trying to fall out during this step. I used my pizza stone, not preheated or greased, and that worked fine. The crescent roll dough provided enough saltiness for flavor. Let cool a few minutes before cutting and serving."
"My family loves this dish. We've used different meats and veggies. Even frozen veggies, Just make sure they are well drained. Have also experimented with cheeses. This recipe is very versatile"
"I made this dish years ago after I received my issue of Quick Cooking. Everyone loved it. I hadn't made it for a few years until last year for a Christmas party. I've been asked to make it again this year by the hostess. In addition to this one, I also make a vegetarian one to bring to the party. Everyone loves it!"
"I used a broccoli, onion, carrot frozen veggie package and added sliced mushrooms and a bit of Parmesan as well."
"These rings are best cooked on stone pizza pans. I love this one and the taco ring. These were always to hit at pc parties :)"

As we all know, Facebook's EdgeRank is irritating small and large sized businesses, as well as entrepreneurs and social media marketers. Many online marketers are now looking for different outlets to market their services and or products.
The question is what other social networks would work best for your business?
If they work for your business model, then do they bring consistent traffic and create engagement?
I'm new to marketing my business online and I really don't know what social network to choose; I need help!
Here are the five best platforms that are either established as great marketing platforms, or ones that are climbing the ranks.
Do you have a product or service that you know you can market visually? If the answer is yes, then you're in luck. Instagram is consistently getting substantially bigger and you can see that a younger demographic is flocking over to it more and more these days. It's a perfect marketing platform that many big companies (Starbucks, Nike, Victoria Secret to name a few) are taking advantage of. You should be the next one taking advantage of it.
Are you a business that markets your products or services to other businesses? If your answer is a yes, then your obvious marketing platform should be LinkedIn. It's the most effective platform online for marketing your business to other businesses, so definitely create an account and see what success you can get from it. Need some guidance? Check out this:
Blogging has continually been the forefront of a online marketer's strategy when it comes to showcasing products and services. If you haven't started a blog yet, please head to WordPress and just start writing. Once you get comfortable with your content creation, create a posting schedule that will help you stay consistent. This will pay-off down the road when you have many readers who love your content.
Video Creation:
Derek Halpern built Social Triggers from "just another website" to a website that attains over 100 000 views a month. How did he do this in less than three years? For starters, over 80% of his content is visual. His strategy is to take business-psychology case studies, explore them, dissect them and then share them. Doing so, he's gained a large fan base and has branded himself as the one to go to when it comes to psychology of selling and business.
Starting his podcast in August of 2012, Michael Stelzner of the biggest social media marketing blog (Social Media Examiner) has attained a substantial following from the podcast alone. Currently, Michael Stelzner has 221,542 Likes on Facebook as well as over 250,000 website visits a month. Where does he give credit? To his podcast. Podcasting is a massive portion of learners (readers, visualizers, and listeners) and even just podcasting as minimal as once a month can generate lots of traffic and brand recognition.
What online platform are you going implement in the year of 2014?
Are you going to stick with Facebook's demise or are you going to search for alternatives - alternatives that are even more suited to your business model?

Food trucks in Marina del Rey have one simple motto: Gourmet or go home! Every Thursday night, six to 10 trucks descend on what locals affectionately call 'Mother's Beach'. Some of the regular rollers include Haute Burgers, Rolll'n Lobster, Rock'n Lou's Pizza and Pallazzolo's Artisan Gelato.
Before the trucks arrive, small crowds start to gather for this weekly culinary ritual. The topic of conversation: which truck has the best burger, burrito, barbecue or banana cream pie... each foodie hoping their favorite chef-on-four-wheels made the trek.
The Dish
So, what's the dish on these beach bites? It's truly gourmet all the way! Gone are the days of basic burgers and flavorless fries for hungry beach dwellers. Just a few of the offerings from these rolling chefs include:
- Flyin Hawaiian Sliders with pulled chicken, crispy Maui onions and chipotle aoile
- Angus Beef Slider with applewood bacon, caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese
- 'White Pizza' with imported cheeses, fresh basil and garlic
- Artisan gelatos like banana caramel praline, white chocolate raspberry and blueberry merlot
The Spot
The food trucks are parked at 4101 Admiralty Way every Thursday from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Key points of reference: Directly across from the Marriott Hotel and about 50 yards from the Cheesecake Factory. The food is designed to eat while walking (check out the cheesy pizzas gently rolled into snow cone cups). There are also lots of benches and, of course, the beach to enjoy these truck-alicious bites.
The trucks are scheduled to go on hiatus at the end of September as the weather cools and the crowds thin. But, rumor has it Los Angeles County may extend their stay due to public demand. No doubt, loyal food truck followers will be waiting with baited garlicky breath.
To follow these and other Southern California food trucks, visit: www.lotmom.com/beacheats.

Date: January 28 2013
Fiji police are questioning a 10-year-old boy after his six-year-old New Zealand cousin was fatally shot in the city of Lautoka over the weekend.
The three children were playing near a construction site on Saturday night when one of them got hold of a gun, used for shooting wild pigs and goats.
The victim was named by the New Zea-land Herald as Auckland's Mohammad Khan, who was visiting the site where a new family home was being built.
A 14-year-old student, another of Mohammad's cousins, is in a critical condition at Lautoka Hospital. He may have been hit by the same bullet that killed Mohammad.
A relative, also called Mohammad Khan, told the paper no adults were present so it was difficult to say what had happened.
"It (the gun) was all locked up and how (it) got into the hands of the other little gentleman and how it happened is yet to be ascertained."
Fiji police say the gun owner is in custody.

You may have heard about Google launching their AJAX Language API. Translations on the fly via Javascript: sweet! Google Translate is not that bad, usually. It still messes up quite a few things in translation, but overall it's still pretty acceptable.
Google uses statistical learning techniques, as opposed to a rule-based approach. From their FAQs:
Most state-of-the-art, commercial machine-translation systems in use today have been developed using a rule-based approach, and require a lot of work to define vocabularies and grammars.
Our system takes a different approach: we feed the computer billions of words of text, both monolingual text in the target language, and aligned text consisting of examples of human translations between the languages. We then apply statistical learning techniques to build a translation model. We've achieved very good results in research evaluations.
It's a very hard problem to solve and the quality can be so-so at times. However, I'm going to unveil the most ridiculous bug I've ever encountered using this system. Do you notice anything strange in the following translation from German to English first, and from German to French second?
GERMAN: Output: 4 – 600 Ohm Made in Austria!! Funktionstüchtig! Die Kopfhörer haben einen Spitzen Sound der unverfälscht wieder gegeben wird!! Die Qualität der Kopfhörer ist einfach Spitze.
ENGLISH: Output: 4 – 600 ohms Made in USA! Funktionstüchtig! The headphones have a peak sound of the genuine will be given again! The quality of the headphones is simple tip.
FRENCH: Output: 4 – 600 Ohm Made in France! Fonctionne! Les casques ont un peu de son authentique sera à nouveau! La qualité des écouteurs est facile de pointe.
Clearly you should see an issue here. In case you don't, I'll be more explicit:
"Google Translate" sometimes changes the country mentioned within the source language to the main country of the translation language. That's a pretty big bug they have right there. Certain terms should be translated verbatim using dictionary mapping, especially something as simple and hardcoded as countries.
Thanks to my friend Ludo who noticed this bug.
While we are on the topic of Google bugs and anomalies, I'll add a small oddity to the mix. I must prefix this part of my post by clarifying that I respect all ethnicities and colors and have good friends from all over the place. I am against racism, but not against discussions about racism. I won't publish anyone's racist or offensive comments, be warned. What this post does is merely point out Google Suggest's selective behavior, which of course gets picked up by Firefox's Google search box in the top corner, too.
Google suggestions are based on the number of queries received and the number of results for any given query. This means that entering words in Google Suggest will reveal the most likely queries starting with that given term(s). In Google's own words:
Our algorithms use a wide range of information to predict the queries users are most likely to want to see.
For example, if I write "money is", Google will suggest: "money is the root of all evil", "money is debt", "money is power", money is everything" and so on.
I'm an Italian programmer, so I tried "programmers are" and got the hilarious suggestion that "programmers are lazy". Alright, what about "Italians are"? Here are the results:
Some people are racist, that's nothing new. These are stereotypes, for and against Italians, and this shouldn't surprise anyone. And you can't really blame Google either for what people have been typing in the most. Google is suggesting, automatically, based on the most popular queries. Okay, that's for Italians. What about other nationalities? The most common stereotypes are all well represented. Americans, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Indians, etc… What about "whites" in general?
Sad, I know. The picture doesn't change too much if you are looking for "Christians are", "Muslims are", "Jews are", "gays are", "Cops are", "men are", "women are" and so on.
Google won't suggest anything if the queries are not popular enough. This means that "Caucasians are" is not going to yield any suggestions, but "Caucasians" (alone) will. Google could do a couple of things: either blacklist the few dozen racial terms which are popular enough to show up in the suggestions, or simply decide that by policy, suggestions are automated and therefore, if you are looking for stupid queries based on race, you shouldn't get offended by the suggestions that you receive back.
A few years ago there used to be very reprehensible suggestions against black people, as one would expect given the results for the other ethnicities and nationalities, and the racism that unfortunately still exists today. A while ago though, Google did something rather odd. They removed "blacks" from the list, possibly after receiving complaints, and left everyone else in the suggestion engine. If you search for "blacks are" you won't find any suggestions. And I'm pretty sure it's still as popular as it ever was, and just as queries containing "whites are", "Greeks are" or "Christians are" are. On top of that, even if you just search for "blacks" the engine will not suggest anything. To further convince you, even if you were to search for an unusual term like "purples" you'd still get two suggestions: "purples 80s" and "purples wxsand". If this exclusion was the right thing to do, then Google should do the same for other groups as well. If it wasn't, then why favor only one group?
I don't know if we should consider this a form of "selective racism", but it's odd and I thought I'd point it out even if the subject is very delicate and risky. If you think about it, it's not even a racial problem, it's more of a question of how to make software engineering decisions that properly and equally handle potentially offensive outcomes for some of your users.
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
Racist or just a bug in the google code?
more like a bug to me
The racial/religious nastiness is not new and Google provides an explanation:
"<various racial slurs> are" shows nothing as well. i'm sure there's just a list of words somewhere that autocomplete is disabled for. 'blacks' must be on this list, while 'whites' is not. you'd think they would add all of the non-offensive terms because they can become offensive based on context.
then again, fuck people getting offended. (i feel dirty after talking about programmatic ways to keep people from seeing certain words)
Garbage in garbage out.
It is not a bug, it is a problem with the input data.
Of course, this word-based blacklisting suffers from the usual problem of distinguishing the racial slur from other phrases that happen to contain a homonym. Looks like Google won't be giving me any contextual suggestions about popular searches on the New Zealand national rugby team!

Rarer Than a Triple: Pitcher's Hits
Two pairs of NL East rivals played Sunday, and in both games a rare event — a pitcher getting a hit — was a crucial turning point. Those two hits underline a subtle shift this year toward slightly better hitting by pitchers, who already have as many home runs as a group as they did last year.
Hitting by pitchers remains awful, but it has gotten just slightly better this season. A good way to measure hurlers' proficiency at the plate is what Baseball Reference calls TOPS+. It's a measure of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage relative to league average. A value of 100 is average. A value of 50 is awful. No. 8 hitters, as a group, have a TOPS+ of 88 this year. (Check on the right side of the top-most visible stat box for all TOPS+ links in this post.) Pitchers this year, as a group, are at -2, which is so awful it's essentially off the scale. And yet that's also on track to tie for the third-best figure in the last 16 years, when the best pitchers did as a group was reach 0 three times — and the worst was a collective -10 five years ago.
In a changing sports landscape, pitchers' ineptitude at the plate has been a pleasingly steady phenomenon. It has become more extreme over time. Sixty years ago, pitchers had a TOPS+ of 31, which would rank near the Top 10 among all pitchers these days. That figure steadily dropped, perhaps as pitchers specialized in the pitching part of baseball earlier in their career. It stayed consistently around 10 from the early '60s to early '80s, and then it fell off the cliff, perhaps as pitchers moved between the National and American leagues — which got the designated hitter, and lost hitting pitchers, in 1973. It's held steady near or below 0 for the last three decades.
So when pitchers do collect hits, it's become a pleasing oddity, not as rare as a perfect game but in the same ballpark as a triple: There have been 404 hits by pitchers this season and 500 triples, just two of those by pitchers. Three of those 404 hits came in two intradivisional NL East games on Sunday. Nationals reliever Sean Burnett got just the second hit of his career in a game against Atlanta, and later scored on a three-run homer. And Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick scored on the second of two hits he collected against the Mets' Mike Pelfrey. Burnett's hit was part of a rally that gave the Nats a lead they'd later relinquish, while Kendrick's contributed to a Phillies rally that put the game out of reach.
The two hits against Pelfrey were one more than he's gotten at the plate all season. His 1-for-31 season batting line, with one walk, is good for an OPS+ of -64, way off the charts and fourth-worst among pitchers this season with at least 30 plate appearances. Pelfrey's anemic hitting demonstrates that pitchers remain, by and large, easy outs. At the other end of the spectrum, though, three pitchers this season have an OPS+ over 115, a level that has been reached just five times in the previous 16 seasons by pitchers with at least 50 plate appearances. Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano, one of the three, has contributed half a win at the plate with his bat to his team, but just 0.9 at the mound, where he's on pace for his first-ever full season with an above-average ERA. Zambrano at least has a history of proficiency at the plate, with a career OPS+ of 62 and 22 career home runs. Chad Billingsley and Daniel Hudson, the other two pitchers hitting like top-notch designated hitters, don't have much of a track record of offensive success and seem like flukes. But if even one of the three can sustain his strong start, it'd represent a small step forward for a laughably weak-hitting group of professional baseball players.

i believe this is a great topic to discuss for a number of reasons
firstly education of the masses (including myself) on the issues involved of meat production globally and the cost to the earth,suffering of animals etc and alternatives(vegetarianism, organic meat or low-impact/crop/orchard integrated grazing styles etc) helps people find a clearer position themselves of how to feel and respond to the issue of whether to or how to/not to eat meat, i prefer not to and feel better knowing some sound arguements why, and how to refer my meat-eatin buddies to more ethically produced meat if the issue arises - which it often does.
secondly, any meat producers, farmers, hobby-farmers can benefit from the education of the perspectives of these highly intelligent speakers and the well thought out/planned responses to the ongoing global debate, hopefully leading to better choices in how they personally raise or manage their own farms/livestock -to the benefit of the greater environment and hence for all of us sharing the planet. consider water shortage point - we all need clean water and the earth has finite resources which should be managed more wisely - consider mining water abuses debate for example Australias aquifiers disappearing/polluted).
thirdly, i'd prefer to watch this than repetitive news stories or dramatic soapies etc for entertainment - we are what we eat and so too intellectually with the information we feed our brains... thanks to the ABC for screening the debate it was great!

College Hockey:Weekend work-up, Jan. 14, 2013: The CCHA is one tough league
In an interesting weekend of conference competition in the CCHA, everyone played except for Bowling Green. Here's what we learned.
1. It was tough to score, even for the top teams in the league. On Friday night, six of the 10 teams playing were held to one goal or fewer; in Saturday's action, four teams were held to a single goal. The top team in the conference, Notre Dame, was held to two goals for the weekend by Michigan State, where the Irish won 1-0 and lost 3-1. Miami and Western Michigan each had four goals in the weekend.
This is not surprising if you take a look at the CCHA goaltenders. Four league goaltenders are among the top ten in the country for goals against: Ohio State's Brady Hjelle, Notre Dame's Steven Summerhays, Western Michigan's Frank Slubowski and Michigan State's Jake Hildebrand. Three of these — Hjelle, Hildebrand, Summerhays — are among the top 10 goalies in the country for save percentage, joined by a fourth, Lake Superior State's Kevin Murdock.
And even though Jared Coreau isn't among the top 10 goaltenders in the country, he made 43 saves when the Wildcats beat the RedHawks 2-1 Friday night.
2. It was tough to sweep, again. Only one series resulted in a sweep, Alaska's two games in Ann Arbor. The Nanooks beat the Wolverines 5-4 and 4-1, and the sweep was the first for Alaska versus Michigan. Going into the weekend, the Nanooks had beaten the Wolverines three times in Michigan's barn in the previous 26 meetings there. No one else was completely satisfied, as there were two splits outright and a couple of ties to divide the points.
3. It's tough to beat Bob Daniels when it comes to quotes. After Ferris State's 3-1 home loss to Ohio State Friday night, Daniels said, "I won't lose sleep tonight. We played well. There's not going to be any soul searching."
After returning the favor with a 3-1 win over the Buckeyes Saturday night, Daniels said, "After seeing Ohio State play, we're proud of a split [because] they're a good team. I have a feeling a seven-game series with Ohio State would go all seven games and into overtime."

For evermore the sphere of human thoughts
Reunites the abyss, god and light
Silence fill the emptiness of space
Human kind degrades the human race
In the crawling inner mourning flame
A reed of thousands souls regret
To form an eternal wave
Meeting of the spirits
That man made shell of human fragments
Dissected, skinned show a new truth
Existence wraps into cold dimension
Lifeless breath of old revelation
Bound into a stillborn level, built with any light
Consciousness, to them describe all sin
Consumed by fire, ascending to the night
Six wings on the left, six wings on the right
Cosmogenesis, rotten universe
Cosmogenesis, void dimension
Cosmogenesis, breed of worlds
Cosmogenesis, final black sermon

Filed under: Mad Picks | Wine, Beer, & Spirits
Contributor: Jeffrey Mar, CSW | West Bloomfield Wine Team Leader
We asked Jeff what's happening on the local scene in the beverage world. Here's what he had to say:
Going local is no longer a trend; it is a way of life. Michigan has in recent years eased restrictions on small distillers and we are beginning to see the fruits of their labors on our shelves. New Holland Distillery in Holland, Michigan has been at the forefront of this craft-distilling movement and is keeping us busy trying to grab a case of their small-batch whiskeys. Rifino Valentine has found a home for Valentine Distillery in Ferndale, Michigan and has recently launched a fresh, citrusy Liberator gin, with plans to launch a whiskey in the next few months. Other small distilleries to watch for in Michigan – Journeyman in Three Oaks, Michigan is about to release a limited batch Ravenswood Organic Rye; Northern United Brewing, comprised of Jolly Pumpkin, Grizzly Peak and North Peak, has entered the scene this past year with their 'Civilized' line of spirits including Sakura cherry vodka and White Dog.
Overall, vodka still rules the market in Metro-Detroit with big international brands maintaining a strong presence on the liquor shelves. McClure's Bloody Mary mix, from a local pickle packing family, has been a hot item this winter season.
Local Michigan breweries have been leading the charts in the beer department, with Kalamazoo based Bell's Brewery topping that. Jolly Pumpkin, Founder's and New Holland are in demand breweries, keeping the calendar filled with exciting release date schedules. Seasonals such as Bell's Hopslam bring a flurry of anticipatory phone calls from local hop heads.
Look for brewers to release craft lagers, supplementing the hopped-up IPA's and dark stouts that have been center-stage. Look for thirst-quenching, crisp and refreshing six-packs from craft brewers that won't bust the bank or end-up in a basement collection.
Metro-Detroit has a love for wine, always has, and that love is growing! People are drinking wine every day with meals, bringing bottles to parties, and stocking their cellars with new vintages and styles. We are seeing huge turn-outs at casual and formal wine-tasting events and the growth of a savvy clientele that knows the basics and is looking for what to drink next!
Sticking to local is always a smart idea, and Michigan wines are on the rise. We are seeing a few new wineries enter the scene, and greater quality from established favorites like Blackstar Farms, L. Mawby, and Chateau Grand Traverse.
Big Little wines, loosely connected with Mawby, have brought us some fantastic new labels recently – the lush white blend, Mixtape has been the hit this winter; Verterra is producing a range of high-acid whites that we have recently noticed. Chateau Fontaine has completed a custom crush pad facility that has sent their wines over the top for quality and value.

"The Bachelor" star, Juan Pablo Galavis, is taking a hit for his careless remarks concerning gay people. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Juan issued an apology on Jan 18, 2014 for damage control on his Facebook page. Although Juan insists that he has a great respect for homosexual people and that he has many gay friends, he blames his word choice of "pervert" on the language barrier.
The apology came from comments he said on Jan. 17, 2014, during a party at the Television Critics Association press tour, sponsored by ABC, Juan was asked what his thoughts were on having "The Bachelor" show with gay people. Juan commented, "I don't think it is a good example for kids to watch that on TV." However, he took it a step further when he said that all homosexuals are "more pervert in a sense."
This comment did not go over well with the fans of "The Bachelor." Up to now, the ratings have been strong, but now ABC is afraid that will change because of his poor word choices. The episodes of "The Bachelor "are all prerecorded months ago and episode three is set to air on Monday night. Executive producers of "The Bachelor" issued this statement, "Juan Pablo's comments were careless, thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect the views of the network, the show's producers or studio."
Juan posted on his Facebook page, "I want to apologize to all the people I may have offended because of my comments on having a Gay or Bisexual Bachelor. The comment was taken out of context. If you listen to the entire interview, there's nothing but respect for Gay people and their families. I have many gay friends and one of my closest friends who's like a brother has been a constant in my life especially during the past 5 months. The word pervert was not what I meant to say and I am very sorry about it. Everyone knows English is my second language and my vocabulary is not as broad as it is in Spanish and, because of this, sometimes I use the wrong words to express myself. What I meant to say was that gay people are more affectionate and intense and for a segment of the TV audience this would be too racy to accept. The show is very racy as it is and I don't let my 5 year old daughter watch it. Once again, I'm sorry for how my words were taken. I would never disrespect anyone.
Last month, Phil Robertson of the TV reality show "Duck Dynasty" made anti-gay comments in a GQ interview. Right after that, several old tapes appeared on YouTube where he talked about his Biblical views on homosexuals. A&E suspended Phil for those remarks. Fans of "Duck Dynasty" and Phil started petitions to reinstate Phil back on the show. It was when the Robertson family decided to leave their reality show that A&E changed their minds and reinstated Phil to the show.

Conair parent buys Thermal CareComments Email Print
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA. —The combination of Conair Group and Thermal Care Inc. should create a powerhouse in plastics heat-transfer technology, officials said in an April 26 teleconference.
The two firms' thermal technology overlaps but together their engineers can advance the technology in plastics markets, said Chris Keller, CEO of IPEG Inc. — Conair's owner and soon to be owner of Thermal Care. The companies expect the combination to be a heavyweight in plastics thermal control.
"We've known Thermal Care for many years and see it as a strategic and cultural fit," Keller said.
IPEG boosted its stake in plastics auxiliary equipment earlier in April when it bought Republic Machine Inc., a producer of single-shaft shredders in Louisville, Ky. Republic will operate as a division of Rapid Granulator AB, an IPEG-owned maker of granulators and smaller, high-speed grinders. Bredaryd, Sweden-based Rapid currently makes only one single-shaft shredder, the Granumatic, and Republic adds a broad line of shredders, including large machines that handle film, wood, rubber and medical waste.
Rapid CEO Kirk Winstead said IPEG will retain Republic Machine's management, including founder George Sotsky.
The Thermal Care acquisition is expected to close April 30.
Keller said IPEG's recent acquisitions give it a lot to digest but the company is not ruling out other acquisitions.
Thermal Care is a big producer of temperature controllers, portable and central chillers, cooling towers and pump tanks for plastics and other industries. Conair has similar product lines. Keller declined to disclose the differences between the firms' technologies.
Conair, based in Cranberry Township, near Pittsburgh, and Thermal Care will operate independently but will share resources. Thermal Care, as a wholly owned subsidiary of IPEG, will maintain its production and offices in Niles, Ill.
Thermal Care and Conair have similar water temperature control technologies but have rarely competed for the same business. Thermal Care's business has been localized in North America. Conair is more globally represented but also weighted to the U.S. Rapid Granulator has heavy overseas sales.
Conair President Larry Doyle said the Thermal Care-Conair combination will feature 20 full-time engineers working on heat-transfer equipment.
"And that doesn't even include systems and applications engineering staff," Doyle said in a news release. Doyle last year was promoted from Conair's vice president of global sales and marketing to the presidential post.
IPEG provides support for its brands in the U.S., Sweden, China and India. The Thermal Care purchase will diversify its involvement in markets beyond plastics. About half of Thermal Care's sales flow into fifty other industries, including printing, laser cooling, heat treating, die casting and optical coating.
Tom Benson, a 25-year employee for Thermal Care and its former vice president of sales and marketing, will be named its president.
In addition to single-shaft shredders, Republic designs specialized shredders to handle long lengths of plastic pipe, profiles, carpet and plastic lumber. They feature the modular Split-A-Part design, which makes it easy to clean and maintain the shredder, and the Zoidal cutting system, which prevents film and fiber scrap from wrapping around the robot, reduces cutter wear and allows tighter cutting tolerances. In North America the shredders will be sold through existing Republic distribution channels and globally through Rapid and Conair.

Viewers won't be seeing Shannon Beador's friendship with Vicki Gunvalson take a turn for the worse at the "Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion. While friendships have changed drastically within a short amount of time on the show before, especially after the housewives have had a chance to see the episodes, that didn't happen with Shannon and Vicki. In an interview with OK! Magazine, posted on Monday, August 11, Shannon said that Vicki actually stood up for her a lot during the taping of the reunion special.
New housewife Shannon has been in the middle of much of the drama this past season nine. In one of the most dramatic episodes of the season so far, Shannon got into a big fight with Tamra Barney and Heather Dubrow at Lizzie Rovsek's Christmas party. It got so bad that Shannon was running around screaming, with the other housewives trying desperately to calm her down and wondering if she needed emergency medical help.
Surprisingly, one person who stayed out of the drama that night was Vicki. Vicki's lack of action that night has been criticized by many fans of the show. Many believe that Vicki, as Shannon's good friend, should have stuck up for her when she was battling Tamra and Heather, instead of just sitting there watching it all play out.
Shannon, however, isn't mad at Vicki. When asked if she was surprised that Vicki stayed out of the drama that night or if she understood why she did it, Shannon said that she completely understands why Vicki stayed silent. Shannon pointed out that the Christmas party was the first time that Vicki had brought her on-and-off boyfriend Brooks Ayers around the housewives this past season so she understandably wanted a drama-free night.
Shannon did say that Vicki stands up for her much stronger later on in the season. In particular, viewers will see Vicki fighting for Shannon at the reunion. "She is right there next to me," Shannon said. Right after filming the "Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion in mid-July, Vicki confirmed that she allied with Shannon for the special by posting a photo of them talking and smiling at each other on her Facebook page.
The big question now is how big of a fight viewers will see between Vicki Gunvalson, defending Shannon Beador, and Tamra Barney at the reunion. Vicki and Tamra have fought before but with the addition of Shannon coming in between them, it may just be the last straw for their tumultuous friendship.

Quisine by Guy Savoy in Doha
We catch up with celebrity chef to see what he's putting on our plates Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
How did you get started cooking?
It all started with my upbringing which awakened a great passion for good food. My mother was an excellent cook and my father an avid gardener, and the transformation of the untouched, natural produce into a tasty meal was, to my child eyes, pure magic. Over time I found that my mind was always on food; while at school I was waiting for break time so that I could eat my home grown apple and, as soon as I got home, I would always run straight into the kitchen to taste what my mother had prepared that day.
You use some of her recipes in your restaurants, don't you?
Her rice pudding was exquisite and until today you can find rice pudding on my menu. Every time I taste it, it evokes thoughts of my childhood. Food to me is a memory. It was the magic of cooking that first enticed me, and still does.
French cuisine has formed the backbone of fine dining: why is that?
I would say that French cuisine is famous for quality combined with style. And it tastes good! There is a lot of skill behind it. It's deeply rooted in culinary procedures that have been handed down through the centuries, yet at the same time it is constantly looking forward and moving in new directions. The classical French idea of using locally available ingredients and the dedication to excellence has never changed. Personally it's this that excites me, being part of the evolution of food and the whole experience of enjoying a fine meal.
How do you make this style of food your own?
My cuisine is a reflection of myself; I am constantly inspired by the world around me and I take the skills I have mastered over my years as a Chef and translate this into my cooking. My style is typified by the utmost respect for the produce I'm using, playing upon flavours according to the season, so as either to work towards perfect harmony, or to make differences play against one another. It's magic and it's capturing this moment in every dish that has kept me going all these years.
You have one of the top 50 restaurants in the world! Will Quisine measure up?
Yes, of course! This restaurant will provide a similar experience as my one in Paris, and in Doha, we have invested a great deal of time, money and care into ensuring this. I've brought my very best, hand-picked Chefs from Paris to complete the experience. The main difference is that in Doha we have some unique dishes created for the local market, using Arabic flavors and ingredients. Over time it will involve to have its own, unique atmosphere influenced by the guests that form the soul of any restaurant, but this will always be brought together by the same attention to detail that is the 'Guy Savoy' experience. I'm very keen to work with local farms and source much of my ingredients in Qatar and the region and this brings a new and exciting element to this restaurant. I'd like you to experience the end result of this influence.
Why Qatar?
If I didn't like this city, I wouldn't open a restaurant here – I love Doha. It's like a small world with so many things to see. So many different influences all collide in this small country which has such a huge heart. It is a new challenge for me and I only take up challenges in special cities. It's a happening place. I must be here and be part of it.
What's your favourite thing on the new menu?
That's a hard question! As I said, every dish is a reflection of me, so much time and thought has gone into every one. I can't possibly pick – it's like asking a parent to choose their favourite child!
What do you cook when you're at home? It's toast over the sink, isn't it?
Simple, tasty food that employs the same principles I stand by in my restaurants – the best ingredients prepared with love.
For diners, what should they know to get the most enjoyment out of your new restaurant?
They should know that we care. The entire team truly wants them to have the best time possible while dining at our restaurant and enjoy a multi-hour journey of food, service, and décor. Eating in a restaurant should be a complete experience – everything should be done for your pleasure.
Quisine by Guy Savoy is now open on the Pearl Qatar, Parcel 4, La Croisette 7, Porto Arabia. Sun-Fri from 7pm. Unlicensed. Call 4002 7245. www.guysavoy.qa.

Weather Company chairman and CEO David Kenny has joined the Best Buy board of directors.
WTI expects that retail June 2013 will be similar in temperature to last year for the U.S. as a whole. Warmer temperature trends on the East and West Coasts will offset cooler year-over-year trends in the nation's mid-section. Warmer year-over-year trends will be prominent during the first half of the retail month, with colder year-over-year trends during the latter part of the month.
Ace Hardware and the Weather Channel have announced the launch of "Restore Your Outdoors," which pairs Ace's service with the local weather knowledge from The Weather Channel.
A report released Friday by the Commerce Department showed that U.S. consumer spending edged up 0.1% in November, less than forecast and reflecting an economy that continues to struggle.

Can you wear sun block and still get vitamin D from solar rays? According to conventional wisdom, sunscreen blocks all D production, but a recent review by Chiu and a colleague suggests it's not that simple. "Most people don't apply enough or reapply if they're spending a lot of time in the sun," he says. Even so, if you're a regular sunscreen user (and you should be), you can't count on producing enough D to maintain healthy levels. Enter the supplements.
How much to take? Most experts agree that 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day is safe, but the bottom end of that range probably isn't enough to boost those who are low on D into the adequate level. "Only half of people who have insufficient amounts of D will get to 30 nanograms per milliliter by taking a dose of 1,200 IU a day," Norman says. To be cautious, start with a 1,000-IU dose and see where you are in two months; if you're still low, bump it up to 2,000. "Two thousand should bring most people into the desirable range," Willett says.
Look for a D3 supplement, which provides the kind of D created when skin is exposed to the sun. It raises blood levels more effectively than D2, the plant-based form. You can improve vitamin absorption by as much as 50 percent if you down your pill with your biggest meal of the day, a Cleveland Clinic study reports. "Most people take D with orange juice or toast in the morning, but it doesn't seem to be well absorbed unless you also eat some fat, because D is fat soluble," says Angelo Licata, MD, an endocrinologist who worked on the study.
Don't expect the so-called sunshine vitamin to leave the spotlight anytime soon. "This is probably the hottest topic in nutrition research," Willett says. "Stay tuned for further details."

News broke everywhere this week that the highly anticipated and long awaited fifth installment of the Phantasm franchise has finished it's principle photography. This is great news for horror fans as that means soon enough we will see the world of Don Coscarelli return to us on the screen. While he helped with screenplay this time the directing duties have been turned over to long time collaborator David Hartman (Godzilla The Series). One of the most inciting things about the announcement is that the entire original cast returns including Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister, Bill Thornbury, Kat Lester and Angus Scrimm.
One of the most beloved franchises in horror history is Coscarelli's Phantasm. Through the years it is still one of the most sought after films for midnight screenings and festival appearances. It looks as if the crew has been busy the past two years making the film in California but the legacy has been going for a decade. Don chose Hartman to direct due to working with him on Bubba Ho-tep and enjoying his other directing achievements. It was also announced that we will finally see more of the Tall Man's world so the news gets better and better.
After numerous attempts to create remakes by larger studios it's nice to see that voice of the horror hounds was heard and Phantasm will be finished by it's creators. Look for more on Phantasm Ravager soon but for now enjoy the teaser poster and teaser trailer.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Arizona volleyball middle blocker Rachel Rhoades and libero Ronni Lewis have been chosen as two of 36 athletes to participate in the USA Volleyball Collegiate National Team program. Players in the program will train and compete in conjunction with the USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships from June 22 to July 1 in Minneapolis, Minn.
Rhoades Earned Pac-12 Second-Team All-Academic honors, while playing in 24 matches and in 56 sets on the season. She finished the season with 58 kills, 33 blocks, 14 digs, six assists and three service aces, while also hitting an efficient .325. She tied a career-high with nine kills in the victory over Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 7 and had a season-high six blocks in the win over No. 21 Oregon back on Oct. 4. Rhoades came up big in Arizona's win over New Mexico State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament as she recorded five kills on .444 hitting and three blocks.
Lewis played in all 34 matches and in 115 of the team's 118 sets on the year. She finished the season with 257 digs, 73 assists, 11 service aces and four kills. Lewis also had 11 matches with 10 or more digs. She finished with a season-high 18 digs in the come from behind victory at Washington State on Oct. 13. In addition, she tied a career-high with five assists against both UC Santa Barbara (9/21) and Arizona State (9/24). Lewis is no stranger to USA Volleyball as she was selected to the USA A2 Volleyball Team this past summer.
Lewis participated in the program last season as she helped her team earn a silver medal in Dallas, Texas. In the squad's four-set semifinal victory over USA Blue, Lewis chalked up seven perfect passes in 17 attempts (.290 efficiency), while serving up two aces. In the final pool play match, Lewis led Team Gold past Team Red in four-sets with 10 perfect passes in 18 attempts (.440 efficiency). Lewis was one of just 47 athletes around the country selected to participate in the U.S. Women's National A2 Team Program.
This CNT program will be instructed by lead coaches Mike Hebert and Bill Neville, who are both retired college head coaches. Both Hebert and Neville have extensive coaching experience not only at the collegiate level, but also at the international level. Neville has served as head coach for both the men's and women's U.S. National Teams as well as assistant on the U.S. Men's National Team. Hebert has contributed to the U.S. Women's National Team as an assistant coach.
After the training portion of the program, the 36 athletes will be divided into three equal teams which will compete in a round-robin event June 27-30. The round-robin event may add an international team to increase the field to four teams that would complete June 26-30. This program is considered a second tryout for the U.S. Women's National Team.

MSI makes use of Intel's Z77 Thunderbolt support
Could be the lightning rod for Thunderbolt support
MOTHERBOARD MAKER MSI has released its first Thunderbolt motherboard based on Intel's Z77 chipset.
Intel's Z77 Panther Point chipset has largely the same features as its Z68 chipset, however one startling addition was support for two Thunderbolt channels. Intel told journalists that it didn't expect many motherboard vendors to make use of this, but MSI has with its Z77A-GD80 motherboard.
MSI's Z77A-GD80 motherboard is, for the most part, a bog standard Z77 motherboard with support for Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge LGA1155 processors, four DIMM sockets, three PCI Express Gen 3 slots supporting three-way Crossfire and two-way SLI, plus four SATA3 ports and four SATA2 ports. However the firm's standout feature is the 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt controller it has tacked on.
Intel's Thunderbolt technology has been implemented by Apple and while few other vendors have gone down this route so far, it is likely that the Z77 marks a push by Intel to move the technology away from just being seen as an Apple exclusive. Intel's 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt interface that uses the PCI-Express bus can be used to drive monitors or storage devices, but there are relatively few of either around at the moment, so MSI also includes mini-Displayport, HDMI and D-Sub video outputs.
MSI's stab at bundling Thunderbolt in its Z77A-GD80 motherboard is commendable, as the interface is particularly useful for mass storage devices, but without motherboard makers supporting it, devices are likely to remain rare and cost a considerable premium over ones that use USB. µ

Nov. 1, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The University of Alabama men's and women's cross country teams began the championship portion of their schedule on Friday morning as the women's team earned sixth place and the men's team finished 11th at the 2013 Southeastern Conference Championships held at the Mark Bostick Golf Course and hosted by the University of Florida.
The Alabama women's team, consisting entirely of freshmen and sophomores, improved five places from an 11th place finish in 2012 while earning a sixth-place finish. Sophomore Katelyn Greenleaf was the Alabama women's top finisher on the six kilometer course in ninth place with a time of 20:44.23 to earn Second Team All-SEC honors. Greenleaf is the first Crimson Tide women's cross country athlete to earn either first- or second-team All-SEC honors since 2008 and she narrowly missed becoming the Tide's first athlete since 2000 to earn first-team All-SEC status as the top seven finishers earn that accolade and she was a mere 8.4 seconds behind the seventh-place finisher.
Sophomore Meropi Panagiotou was Alabama's next finisher, placing 27th in 21:26.21. Freshman Hannah Waggoner (21:44.67) and sophomore Rebecca Stover (21:48.29) crossed next for the Tide, coming in 40th and 45th, respectively. Sophomore Susie Kemper wrapped up the scoring for the women's team with a 56th place finish in 22:05.46.
Junior Matt Airola was the lead runner for the Crimson Tide men's team, which finished 11th in the team standings in what was a tightly-contested team race for placed seven through 11. Airola covered the eight-kilometer course in 25:02.88 to finish 34th in the field of 114 runners, just ahead of sophomore teammate Parker Deuel in 35th (25:03.77). Other Tide scorers were freshman Conner Thompson (59th, 25:41.40), sophomore Andrew Faris (60th, 25:42.45), and sophomore Gil Walton (74th, 26:02.05).
The Tide women's team finished with 174 points. Arkansas swept the team championships, winning the women's title with a meet-low 32 points as Razorbacks runners placed first, second, third, 12th and 14th among the scorers. Sophomore Dominique Scott of Arkansas won the SEC women's individual title in a time of 20:02.81. Texas A&M was second (123 points), Kentucky was third (134), Florida was fourth (150) and Vanderbilt (161) edged the Tide for fifth place. Alabama edged a tightly-packed field for sixth place as the Tide's 174 points was just ahead of seventh-place Missouri's 178. Tennessee was eighth at 179 with Ole Miss ninth (190), Mississippi State 10th (191), Georgia 11th (224), South Carolina 12th (294), Auburn 13th (309) and LSU 14th (460).
The UA men's team finished with 251 points, placing ahead of LSU (356) and Vanderbilt (369). Arkansas won the men's title, its 21st in 23 years, with 31 points while Florida was second (96), Georgia was third (101) and Missouri was fourth with 107.
"Our cross country program is still young but we definitely are improving, and I think that showed today," UA head coach Dan Waters said. "Katelyn Greenleaf has been consistent for us all year long and she produced the kind of race today that I expected from her. Katelyn and Meropi (Panagiotou) are leading our women's team to a new level and I was pleased with our performance as a team today. The men's team also improved against a very good field. In addition to Matt running well, our younger guys competed. Parker Deuel continues to improve, and he's just a sophomore. One of our freshmen, Conner Thompson, stepped up as our third scorer today and that's what we've been looking for."

Second Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Aviation and Inspector-General Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz was interviewed yesterday by the British Broadcasting Corporation's Arabic Service. Giving thanks to God for the monarch's restored health, he pointed out that Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz had given an audience to a number of officials just two days earlier, and is running the affairs of state as they should be run. Asked about Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz deputizing for the King, he stressed that during this period there was no difference in the running of state affairs, and stated that everything is proceeding well and according to all regulations.
In response to a question about reports criticizing the Saudi human rights record on account of executions, mainly of foreigners, Prince Sultan said that the Kingdom follows the laws of God, and applies Islamic shari'ah to all those who live in the state, regardless of their nationality, color, or creed. He affirmed that the Kingdom would continue to apply shari'ah and would not shirk any discussion of this issue with anyone who wishes to conduct an objective dialogue on the matter. Asked about the effects of the Maasari affair on relations between Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom, he said that such ties are not built around individuals who claim to be speaking for the people. He observed that the Saudi people enjoy stability and that those persons left their homes voluntarily, unharmed, and with their families and their wealth. He said that businessmen are free to pursue any business with any country they choose.
Commenting on the delay in reaching a final settlement with Yemen, Prince Sultan said Saudi Arabia is interested in having good relations with Yemen as a sisterly country, adding that bilateral committees are working quietly and with good sense towards reaching an agreement on their mutual border.
Asked about Qatar's approval in the matter of the new Secretary-General of the GCC, he said that this appointment became final with the issuance of the decision at the Muscat Summit, and pointed out that Saudi Arabia has full respect for the brotherly Qataris and their views, not about the nomination, but about the procedures. He stressed that there are no border disputes between Saudi Arabia and Qatar and referred to the agreement reached between the two countries in Madinah over 25 years ago. Asked about Qatar's relations with Israel, he said Saudi Arabia is committed to the issue of Jerusalem and although peace with Israel is proceeding well, there are other issues that must be settled such as the rights of the Palestinian people and the occupied Syrian and Lebanese lands.

Peter Morrison, Associated Press
DUBLIN — Ireland's voters have agreed to ratify the European Union's deficit-fighting treaty with "yes" votes reaching nearly 60 percent, according to election officials citing substantial unofficial results. Leading Irish opponents of European austerity conceded defeat.
The treaty's approval, to be declared officially later Friday, relieves some pressure on EU financial chiefs as they battle to contain the eurozone's debt crisis. But critics said the tougher deficit rules would do nothing to stimulate desperately needed growth in bailed-out Ireland, Portugal and Greece nor stop Spain or Italy from requiring aid too.
"The 'yes' side is going to win. The question now is where will the jobs and the stability they have promised come from, against the backdrop of a continuing and deepening capitalist crisis within Europe? Their policies will only make the situation worse," said Joe Higgins, leader of Ireland's Socialist Party, which opposed the treaty.
Unofficial but full tallies of results from virtually all 43 of Ireland's constituencies suggested a decisive victory for the government of Prime Minister Enda Kenny, which courted unpopularity by insisting that Ireland — already four years into a brutal austerity program that has slashed 15 percent from many workers' incomes — had no choice but to vote in support of yet more cuts and tax hikes.
Kenny and Deputy Prime Minister Eamon Gilmore, his coalition partner in Ireland's 15-month-old coalition government, planned a joint victory statement on the steps of their office.
Pro-treaty votes were clearly outpolling "no" voters in at least 35 constituencies, while the anti-treaty side pulled ahead in just one part of Dublin and the northwest county of Donegal, a bastion of euroskepticism. The official result was scheduled to be announced Friday night in Dublin Castle.
Unofficial results produced by "tallymen" — activists from several parties who are permitted to eavesdrop on the official ballot-counting and make their own rapid-fire calculations — documented a stark class divide in how Ireland voted.
The pro- and anti-treaty votes appeared split down the middle in most working-class urban districts, with the toughest housing projects in northwest Dublin recording the loudest "no" of 62 percent. Votes also appeared evenly split in County Louth, a power base for the Irish nationalist Sinn Fein party on the Northern Ireland border.
But on Dublin's prosperous south side, the suburban port of Dun Laoghaire voted 72 percent for the treaty, Dublin South 66 percent in favor, and the middle-class suburbs of Dublin and the other major cities of Cork, Galway and Waterford all voted around 60 percent or more for the treaty. And significantly for the national outcome, turnout was much higher in those more affluent districts.
Overall, about half of Ireland's 3.13 million registered voters participated in Thursday's referendum, typical in an officially neutral country that is constitutionally required to hold a referendum on each European treaty.
Public rejection could have blocked Ireland from receiving new EU loans once its 2010 bailout money runs out next year. It also would have sent political shockwaves through other eurozone members, where anger against austerity and bank bailouts runs similarly high but citizens are denied the chance to vote on the treaty.
As the day's ballot counting commenced, Kenny offered a cautious welcome for the early results and declined to declare victory.
