Aside from the fact that I think in pounds and have no concept of a kg....those BMI charts are notoriously inaccurate, and have no way of taking muscle mass into account.
At 126 pounds, I'm much leaner than I was a few years ago when I briefly got down to 121.
As far as what to do with the numbers? Well, if you really want to count calories, go ahead and do it for a few weeks and see what happens. But if you want a true marker of progress, have someone take a picture of you in a snug pair of jeans: front, side and back views, and then do it again after following the recommendations.

The United Arab Emirates has issued a map of the "dangerous areas" of London as a warning to wealthy Arab visitors.
Taking in swathes of central and west London, including Soho, Mayfair and Knightsbridge, the map identifies areas that most Londoners would consider the most affluent and crime-free, while Oxford Street should be avoided on principle, it warns.
However, after two attacks on Emirati tourists in London earlier this year, the UAE authorities are concerned about the safety of their citizens during the annual summer exodus to Britain.

This is a huge game. This is a game where the only people rooting for the Red and Black will be those who are fans of the Red and Black. That is a lot to say when the whole world outside of the 40,000 true Rutgers fans are rooting against you. It's a rivalry game. It's a game against a team with heavy hearts. It's a game that both teams look at as must wins to get their season moving in the right direction. It's a game against evenly matched teams. It's a game for a potential spot in the Gator Bowl (though that's a sliver of hope right now) or the Meinke Bowl for 3rd place in conference. And, lost on most fans, it is another game where the recruiting battles fought in the tri-state area can be won or lost. Last year was one of the first few years we saw UConn take some of the recruits that RU really wanted (like Miami speedster Dwayne Difton). THIS IS A BIG GAME!
Here's your match-ups:
Tom Savage against Cody Endres, the UConn defense, the UConn fans, and everyone else outside of fans in Red
I have been a pretty big critic of Tom Savage. This is a good game for him to shut me up if he plays well, but he's got a lot going against him.
1) It's a start against a QB who is from the other fertile area of the QB state..Pennsylvania. Savage is from outside of Philly (where Rich Gannon and Matt Ryan are from) and a school that's not known as a national powerhouse. Endres is from outside of Pittsburgh (where Dan Marino and Joe Montana are from) from a school that is very close to a national powerhouse in Trinity. Endres was redshirted and is a redshirt sophomore learning behind Tyler Lorenzen. Savage is a true freshman that is learning on the fly. If he can compete with Endres, who just put up over 350 yards a game prior, it'll look pretty good for him.
2) He's playing a defense that sets up well to stop him. It's a defense that looks an aweful lot like the RU defense. Quick DEs, bigger DTs, and a fast secondary. They have Miami speed all over their defense and most of those Miami players and NJ players were passed over by RU. That equals hits that are even bigger when the opportunity presents itself and Savage epitomizes what they can't stand...the big time recruit that got in their way. Add that onto the fact that one of their own was just murdered and there will be a lot of BIG hits going Tom Savage's way. Hit ability to take all that and keep the O moving will be key.
3) The crowd at this game will be like no other RU has seen. It may actually be louder than RU Stadium this one time around. One good thing is it's a early game so maybe they'll still be sleeping, but I HIGHLY doubt that. You also have to remember the game last year that had UConn barely lose by a missed field goal and there is plenty for the fans to be amped about. Add on this is the first home game since Howard's death and this will be a loud crowd. Savage will not be able to be heard and will have to deal with his first REAL adversity this season.
4) The feeling Savage has going into this game against a team who has dealt with tragedy also has something to do with this. You can't get psyched up for this game the way you do other games. You have to tread lightly on this, but cannot get caught up too much in the hype. You have to go out and play your game without care for the feeling of the other team, but have to be able to separate yourself outside of the game. It's a game that will test even the most experienced of QBs.
Savage needs to do something simple to win this game. He needs to just manage the game. He needs to complete more than 60% of his passes, have more than 200 yards, and have 1 turnover or less. He needs to complete more than 50% of 3rd downs and keep the chains moving. He also needs to be a leader on this offense, for once, and take his offensive line by the cohones and forcefully get them to block. If RU abandons the run, Savage will be asked to win the game with his arm and that will not be good at all. If RU plays the run game and Savage is efficient in passing to keep the chains moving, RU will not have to abandon the run then and will control this game. Any more pass attempts than 30 dropbacks for Savage will mean this game is completely out of hand with playcalling and RU will lose.
RU Secondary against UConn 3rd down offense
RU got killed by Pitt on 3rd down and allowed Pitt to complete 10 of 17 3rd downs. No matter how many turnovers they force, allowing UConn to complete 3rd downs will kill this team. I'd venture to say that not putting big hits on receivers and waiting for interceptions to come to you will result in a situation like that. I don't know how much more basic it can be than that. No matter how well the defensive line plays, the secondary will need to set the tone of this game for the defense to play well.
It could be a long good game for RU or a long bad game for RU. These two things will be key for RU to have a good outcome if they play well.

OK, let's just jump forward. In May of '68 the transfers began of the 19 teachers. How was that decision made to transfer the teachers, what was that process? And, ah, ah, yeah, could you just talk about that process, how that came about?
Ah, it would take a long time to tell the horror stories that when the governing board came on board, suddenly became an issue. For example, there was one instance where a girl was held on a, a hot radiator and burned. Ah, the teacher said of course it was an accident. He, he was trying to restrain the girl. There was an instance where, ah, one teacher was, ah, an insurance agent and he would go lock himself up in a room and take care of his insurance business. There was an absentee principal who'd been absent for seven years. I mean I, the horror stories can keep going. So when the time came for the governing board to begin to look at its teaching staff, it did not want certain people back into the district. And they had to find a reason. These, exp- examples that I gave were legitimate reasons that the parents now had an opportunity to tell 'em, "Hey don't come back." But that was already cushioned by the system and the union. They had a very clear statement in the proposal that if any teacher did not want to participate in the experiment, they could ask to be removed and they would be removed. It was clear, send them and if, if in fact, we did not want a teacher, we could send the teachers down to the Board of Education for reassignment. And there're all kind of horror stories behind that. So when these parents decided that these were the teachers who were still doing the same things that they had done, shouldn't be in the district teaching their children, they brought 'em to me. I think the first, this was about 21 or so names, and we sat down and talked to the governing board members of the school and the principal of the school and we came to the conclusion that these people were not going to work well in the system. And they had also demonstrated that they were opposed to the experiment**, they weren't teaching, ah, and a, a variety of other things. So the governing board made the decision, collectively, based on the recommendation of myself and the individual board member to ask those teachers to go back to the, to the central headquarters for reassignment.
OK, stop.

What is parvo?
Canine parvovirus (parvo) is a virus (germ) that
makes dogs sick. The virus attacks a dog's
intestines and immune system. It is highly contagious between dogs and
is often fatal to them. Every year, hundreds of
dogs in Los Angeles (LA) County get sick and
with canine parvo. You can protect your dog by
getting them vaccinated. People do not get sick
from canine parvovirus.
How does parvo
spread between dogs?
Dogs can catch parvo when they touch other dogs
that have it or the ground where a sick dog has
walked or defecated. A dog with parvo
contaminates its environment with the virus. So
dogs can also catch parvo from the bedding,
toys, bowls, and even the yard of a dog that has
parvo. The virus can live for months in an
environment, including in public parks and dog
parks. Puppies are most likely to catch it.
Humans do NOT get sick from this virus.
What are the signs
of parvo in dogs?
Parvo causes vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. The
diarrhea is usually severe and often bloody. Dog
with parvo usually become very lethargic,
dehydrated and have no appetite. Dogs can die
from parvo.
How can I protect
my dog from parvo?
Get your dog vaccinated! Vaccination save dogs'
lives and saves money. It costs much less money
to protect your dog with vaccinations than to
treat your dog for parvo.
The DHLPP (or DHPP) vaccine protects your dog
from parvo (It is one of the "Ps" in DHLPP). One
shot is not enough! Keep your puppy away from
public areas until it has finished the first
series of shots. Allow your puppy to play only
with a few healthy, vaccinated dogs in a yard
where you know no sick dogs have been in the
last year.
Where can I get vaccinations for my dog?
Veterinary hospitals: Team
up with a local veterinarian to keep your
dog healthy. Many veterinary hospitals offer
low-cost vaccinations on certain days.

Reporting Cases
of Parvo in Dogs in LA County
Parvo in dogs is reportable in LA County.
Parvo in dogs is not transmissible to humans
(zoonotic). However, cases help indicate
areas of LA County with reduced access to, or
utilization of, veterinary
services. As a result, the risk for exposure
to zoonotic diseases is likely higher in such
areas. Data on parvo in dogs indicate areas in
LA County where outreach services involving
animal health and zoonotic diseases are needed
Cases of parvo in dogs are reported by
animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and occasionally by the public. Cases
are counted as either confirmed or suspected
according to LA County's
Case Definition for Parvo in Dogs.
How to Report Parvo
in Dogs in LA County

The Nockamixon State Park Office is starting a sharing library for individuals to share and read books. We are seeking donations of gently used guide books and children's books as well as fiction and non-fiction books. No dictionaries or encyclopedias please! Please bring donations to the Park Office Monday-Friday 8 am-4 pm or to the Marina Office Saturday and Sunday 8 am-4 pm.
FONSP Board Safe Dock Project
The Friends group is currently soliciting donations for a handicap accessible dock for kayaks and canoes. Mike Quinn, Friends Group Chairperson, reports that the new Board Safe Dock System would make launching a kayak or canoe at Nockamixon a whole lot easier and safer for Pennsylvanians with disabilities.
The project is part of a larger effort to increase accessible recreation opportunities in parks across the state spearheaded by the Pennsylvania Parks and Forest Foundation, a 501 c 3 non profit organization, of which The Friends of Nockamixon is a chapter member.
The Friends group has received a grant from the Harlon's Fund at the Philadelphia Foundation. The group has also applied for several grants from various organizations to help in the fundraising effort. However, this project needs the support of the local area to be successful. Please consider supporting the Friends group in donating to this worthwhile effort.
Find more information about making a contribution to the Nockamixon dock.
Your contribution of any dollar amount is tax deductible and would be greatly appreciated.

A new report released this month provides a detailed analysis of hundreds of utilities' solar supply and sentiments. Solar is shaking up many traditional energy production perceptions, and that has made it a must-know for dividend stock utility investors. Here's where solar stands.
Solar's soaring
The Solar Electric Power Association released its 2012 utility solar rankings (link opens a PDF) this month, which shows that use of this renewable energy is on the rise. Total annual capacity clocked in at 2,384 MW last year, more than three times 2010 numbers. And while residential solar continues to creep higher, utilities upped their capacity by 150% in one year, from 435 MW in 2011 to 1,106 MW in 2012.
Pacific Gas & Electric (NYSE: PCG ) got a specific shout-out for its massive 250 MW power purchase agreement with FirstSolar (NASDAQ: FSLR ) . FirstSolar's Agua Caliente project totals 290 MW and is the largest solar PV project in the world. Power purchase agreements seem to be the name of the game for most utilities, with just 12% of large-scale (>5MW) solar projects actually owned by utilities themselves. That means more business for power producers like FirstSolar, but more stable and long-term costs for utilities like Pacific Gas.
Sun dance awards
It should come as no surprise that Pacific Gas took the cake in 2012's national solar rankings; it's the fifth straight year for the utility. At 806 MW, this utility upped its new capacity 180% from 2011 to 806 MW.
But second and third place provide some evidence that the solar game still has plenty of room for new players. Up from fourth place in 2011, Edison International's (NYSE: EIX ) Southern California Edison, or SCE, snagged silver with 195 MW of capacity. Unlike Pacific Gas' centralized capacity, 85% of this utility's solar came from more than 15,000 distributed projects.
SCE bumped PSEG's (NYSE: PEG ) Public Service Electric & Gas subsidiary down from its second place perch in 2011 to third for 2012. Not everyone's winning with solar, and this utility's dip from 181 MW in 2012 to 145 MW in 2011 serves as a sobering reminder that solar prices are sustainably competitive yet. Public Service got into solar before most and upped its solar game as high-priced renewable-energy credits kept flowing in. But with an influx of new supply in 2012, credits fell from more than $600 to as low as $70 in 2012.
While these rankings only measure new capacity added for the 2012 calendar year, the same dividend stocks take the top three spots for cumulative solar MW. Pacific Gas' total clocks in at 1,569, followed by 947 for SCE, and 443 for Public Service Electric & Gas.
Can solar stick?
The report also makes mention of potential new contenders for next year's top spots. Southern (NYSE: SO ) got a shout-out for its Georgia Power subsidiary's renewable moves. The dividend stock is expected to add 105 MW of solar to its generation in 2013 and has recently made corporate-level moves to ramp up solar with a 139 MW First Solar farm joint-acquisition with Turner Renewable Energy.
Looking ahead, analysts expect solar to soar even higher in 2013 -- to the tune of more than 3,000 MW. And as capacity increases, costs are on the decline. The report estimates utility-scale projects to drop to around $2 per watt, an 18% decrease over 2012 costs. For now, at least, it seems there's a lot in store for energy stocks sticking with solar.
Utilities have to get their solar energy from somewhere, and First Solar has been there every step of the way. But investors and bystanders alike have been shocked by its stock's precipitous drop over the past two years. The stakes have never been higher for the company: Is it done for good, or ready for a rebound?

IN SUNLIGHT AND IN SHADOW. By Mark Helprin. Houghton Mifflin. 705 pages. $28.
Mark Helprins new novel, In Sunlight and in Shadow, 700-plus-pages long, presents an almost too-eloquent prose that sometimes gets in the way of the story.
To be in New York on a beautiful day is to feel razor-close to being in love. Trees flower into brilliant clouds that drape across the parks, plumes of smoke and steam rise into the blue.
This is Harry Copelands city, a native New Yorker, recently returned from World War II. Struggling to stay afloat in his small business as the Mafia hounds him for protection payments, he meets Catherine and is instantly in love with even the smallest detail of her.
She is an heiress from New Yorks aristocracy and a stage actress and singer just making her way to Broadway.
Against the backdrop and hum of the city, Harry pursues Catherine and is drawn into the world of the very rich, often awed by the inherent sense of entitlement and privilege.
Midway in the story, an abrupt turn takes us into a lengthy and distracting piece on Harrys troubling wartime experiences before returning to the saga of the couples star-crossed future.
As lyrical as Helprins writing is, at times the bounty of detail begins to stretch the imagination, though the love story is compelling and beautiful.
Intended or not, there are many interesting parallels between this novel and F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby: the lights across the bay, the rich (who are different), the love story and the Mafia connection.
But Fitzgerald managed to tell his story in around 200 pages.
Reviewer Frances Monaco is a writer based in Charleston.

On Moore, the damage done to his brain was caused by whiplash after his head bounced off the bottom rope when Ramos KO him.
Moreno wasn't exactly a world class boxer and whenever he did step up to world level he got beat which takes away from him, obviously, but he was a huge puncher, his record is 60 wins 59 by KO, the one that wasn't by KO was a DQ win.

i'm still wondering why the **** olivares (pronounced "Olives" according to my autocorrect ^ ^ ) is in the top ten of your list
he's not a top ten punching FW
he's a top 5 punching BW, though.
he was a solid puncher at 26, but did his power really carry to the top ten of the FW division is what you have to ask yourself
the answer is clearly no
and on to erik morales...
wasn't even a terrific puncher.
he was a good hard puncher and a worker who had to break guys down and use his boxing skills and stamina
but he was NOT a power puncher in this context and doesn't belong ANYWHERE CLOSE to the top ten.
and this is coming from a guy who pitches a tent de pantalon every time erik morales is throwin down
for context,
juanma lopez was a much harder puncher at 122, and 126 than morales
he couldn't// cant do much with it, because his idea of sound defensive performance is taking punches on the chin but staying upright and banging his gloves together, and he also doesn't have morales' chin
but he's a harder puncher than morales could ever hope to be.
and not a top ten FW puncher in simple power punching terms.
if you aren't going to see it you aren't going to see it
like magic eye
but you're wrong if you think morales or olives are top ten FW punchers
or olivares

Wilfredo Gomez shouldn't rank anywhere on anyone's best punchers at 126. At 122, he's one of the best punchers ever...but at Feather, he KO'd no one of note, and in fact wasn't even that successful when you think about it.

The USC Symphony Orchestra from the University of South Carolina School of Music in Columbia is joined by pianist Marina Lomazov in this concert directed by Donald Portnoy.
A group of world-class soloists from the largest performing arts complex in the world visits the Queen City for an October 2012 performance presented by Charlotte Concerts.
The Greenville, SC ensemble is augmented by chorus and soprano soloist for a concert ringing with vocal music, ranging from Poulenc's reverent Gloria to dramatic masterworks by Verdi.
The Greensboro Symphony and its distinguished music director welcome a solo clarinetist for a showpiece by Weber, as well as a chamber music trio for an innovative concerto by Beethoven in a concert from their 2014 season. They wrap up the program with Rachmaninoff's most popular symphony.
A distinguished guest artist joins the Spartanburg Philharmonic for this Masterworks series concert.
The English choral tradition returned to the Carolinas in April of 2014 as part of Charlotte's Ulysses Festival of the Arts. The Christ Church Cathedral Choir of Oxford paid its second visit to the Queen City in three years to perform in the Gothic-style sanctuary of Covenant Presbyterian Church near downtown. The program represented a veritable survey of English choral music ranging from Thomas Tallis to 20th century practitioners such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Walton and Hubert Parry. The all-male choir also treated the audience to choral arrangements by Michael Tippitt of African-American spirituals, and encores from the great American songbook.

The resident orchestra in Greenville, SC performs a program contrasting music by the immortal Tchaikovsky and his ingenious pupil, Sergei Taneyev. It opens with a symphony by the younger composer, followed by one of the master's most romantically evocative compositions. Then it's over to Greensboro, NC for a masterwork near and dear to the heart of the music director of the orchestra there, Dmitri Sitkovetsky, who is also a renowned virtuoso.
Charlotte Concertos presents world-renowned violinist Ray Chen to play the second program of their 2012-2013 season in the Halton Theater at Central Piedmont Community College with sonatas by Mozart and Brahms as well as two crowd-pleasers by Saint-Saëns.

The light would not be right.
But I wanted to find this cabin near Condon anyway, because it was where Kelly Kievit of Portland took a photo that won The Oregonian's 2005 Travel Photo Contest.
The cabin is easy to spot, if you're paying attention. Drive about seven miles west of Condon on Oregon 206 and look for a lone cabin in the wheatfields. It's one of the few places in the neighborhood that isn't covered with 400-foot tall windmills.
So here I present Kelly's photo:
And my photo:
Kelly wins again.
As the photo editor, Mike Davis, said, having the right light makes up about 50 percent of a great photograph.
This blog post is part of my "Send Terry on the road'' summer series, in conjunction with visitcentraloregon.com and www.traveloregon.com, which is also running a promotion called the Oregon 150 Challenge.

I'm sure PS3 won't be revolutionary come on Wii has a new pad, better internet system and PS3??? just stupid things anyne is never going to use
Why see a Movie on blu-ray if u can see on DVD???

wow sony are really scraping the barrell.Motion sensing ps3 control waht a joke, nintendo dont deserve to be mimicked by such a s**t company.
Thanks to Pepper for the sig

it's still not revolutionary. The Xbox has had media center forever, the interface shown there was the PSP, Wii will have motion sensors, and blu-ray will never catch on. Only Sony will be licensed to use blu-ray, which means that only sony produced movies will be on blu-ray, which isn't much. HD DVD is already mainstream. It's just like the memory stick, it's expensive and you can't use them in anything that's not made by sony.
... but what do I know?...

i swear to god i was going to say thatOriginally Posted by deity_link
great minds thing alike!
nothing in those videos were revolutionary, they had that tilting controller thing on the N64 and Wii has it.
That interface looks exactly the same as the psp, but wait its still revolutionary because you can rotate pictures. Wow! thats awesome, I'm gonna get it just for that!
you could tilt the GBA with that yoshi game.

Phencyclidine abuse remains a major problem particularly in urban centers. Regarding the management of phenycyclidine intoxication, recommendations have been made to hasten elimination of phencyclidine by urine acidification (1-3). However, more recent pharmacokinetic studies suggest that phencyclidine is cleared primarily by metabolism and has a large volume of distribution (6.2 L/kg) (4, 5). The pharmacokinetics of phenyclidine after massive overdosage have not been characterized. This report details the time course of plasma phencyclidine concentrations in a patient who had severe symptoms after massive overdosage. These phencyclidine levels represent the highest ever reported for a survivor of phencyclidine intoxication.

Anyone have any feedback on these oils. My repair guy has recommended giving them a try on my 68 Silver Flair. I have been using Al Cass.
Anyone have any feedback on these oils. My repair guy has recommended giving them a try on my 68 Silver Flair. I have been using Al Cass.
I would recommend them. I have used the regular and the light piston oil and they seem to work fine. I used AlCass for a long time but it would leave dicoloration / deposits on my valves when it broke down. Hetman doesn't seem to do this. Hetman also makes a really nice slide oil that works great for 1st and 3rd valve slides.

I use Hetman classic on the Bb and Hetman light on all my other horns w/o any problems. I highly recommend the stuff.
What do you guys think of Blue Juice?
I hate that stuff! If I were you I would stay away NOBS. I used it for a while and the smell was cool but it made my valves look like a sewer. Green Sludge everywhere. Maybe it reacted to something but I thought it was awful. I have never had that kind of problem with any other valve oil

UN Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis Highlights Role of Green Economy Initiatives
26 June 2009: The UN Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis took place from 24-26 June 2009, at UN Headquarters in New York, US, and underscored the role of green economy initiatives in tackling the crisis.
In the outcome document adopted at the end of the Conference, the Heads of State and Government and High Representatives underline that the economic crisis is connected to multiple, interrelated global crises and challenges, including increased food insecurity, volatile energy and commodity prices and climate change. They underline that the crisis must not delay the global response to climate change and that national stimulus packages provide an opportunity to promote green economy initiatives. They further encourage the participation of the private sector in green initiatives at the national level and "look forward to a successful outcome of the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC [...] as part of our overall efforts for a green recovery from the crisis." During the Conference, over 20 agencies of the UN system issued an urgent call for nations to shift to a green economy that can spur job creation and address the food, water and climate crises.

SUNDAY IS New Year's Day, so we asked advice columnists Steve and Mia to offer resolutions to improve readers' romantic prospects in 2012.
Steve: Avoid romance with anyone who has more problems than you do.
Mia: Date outside your comfort zone. If you're doing the same thing with the same kind of people and it's not working, try a different social or ethnic circle.
Steve: Never date a co-worker. If things go bad - and they usually do - you mess up your social life and your work life, too.

When you think of the physique of a professional fighter, a certain ripped and muscular picture is sure to come to mind. There are some fighters that can shake an opponent's confidence simply by stepping into the cage looking like they want to distribute a severe pain clinic.
Newly signed UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem is one perfect example of a fighter whose sheer look and physique may cause the man across from him to shake at the knees and consider backing out.
Overeem is not alone in this sport with that ripped look of an Adonis. Here are 10 Of The Best Physiques in MMA History.
You must have a minimum of five professional fights to qualify, so chiseled fighters such as Bobby Lashley and Mariusz Pudzianowski do not qualify.
Honorable mention: Ryan Ford, Melvin Guillard, Jeff Monson, Thiago Alves

Zesty Fish Kilawin
Have you tried fresh tuna or labahita, tanigue or bangus pickled in vinegar & spices? This is a kind of cooking that you don't need fire, just vinegar and also to kill those micro organisms that might go in to our system. This can be eaten as appetizer or as a side dish with fried or grilled pork liempo.
If you have a picnic or just a simple gathering, I think this can be a good dish to serve. Just be careful, not everyone can digest and tolerate fish kilawin (ceviche). Healthy Note: Tuna has a high level of Omega 3 Fatty Acid that may reduce hypertension.
- ½ kilo very fresh tuna, cut in ½ inch cubes (or tanigue, lahahita or bangus)
- ½ cup Spiced Vinegar (for rinsing)
- ⅓ cup Vinegar (white)
- 2 tsp ginger, sliced into fine strips
- ½ cup onions (preferably sibuyas mura, "shallots "), chopped finely salt
- ⅓ cup dayap juice
- freshly ground pepper
- siling labuyo, chopped (start with 3-4 pieces first)
- Wash the fish very well under running water. Squeeze out water.
- Add ½ cup Spiced Vinegar to rinse and gently wash the fish pieces in vinegar.
- Squeeze vinegar out. Add ginger, onions, Vinegar (white), salt and siling labuyo.
- Add the ⅓ cup dayap juice and freshly ground pepper.
- Place the marinated fish in a covered glass bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes then serve.
- Serves 4. Preparation time: 20-30 minutes.

No-Cook Recipe: Sauvignon Blanc-Apricot Popsicles
By Alexandra Fleischman | July 25, 2013
Last week, I shared one of my favorite summertime ways to enjoy a drink: frozen. This week, we're at it again, except this time I'm starting out with wine. Like a glass of sangria, clerico, or even a spritzer, this is wine in a different (read: more fun, less classy) form. And it's still really, really good.
The ingredient measurements are left open. Depending on the size of your popsicle mold, you'll need more or less than I used. (Mine makes three 2-0z. pops in one go, which is pretty small.) But if you end up with leftovers, don't worry. Unless you end up imbibing what's left in the cup, make a granita. Pour the leftover onto a plate or sheet pan, freeze, and then scrape off with a fork. Then, serve like a shaved ice and enjoy with a spoon.
This doesn't yield a sugary popsicle. If you think you'll want it on the sweeter side, add more sugar or more juice. You don't need the best wine, either, because you'll be adding both sugar and juice. (I didn't even need a bottle opener for what I bought.)
If kids will be enjoying with you, don't miss these tips for making non-alcoholic popsicles, too.

Chavez death brings uncertainty, hope to oil patch
The death of Hugo Chavez brings political uncertainty that could bring further turmoil to Venezuela's oil industry.
The country's oil exports fell by nearly half during Chavez's 14 years as president and that kind of decline is not easily reversed. But whoever emerges as the next leader of Venezuela, an OPEC member that sits on the world's second-largest oil reserves, will have a powerful economic incentive to make that a priority.
Analysts said Venezuelan production will likely fall further in the short term because PDVSA executives may lack clear instructions from a government in transition about how to proceed.

Samsung, Dell and Intel Establish Internet of Things Alliance
The Open Interconnect Consortium looks to deliver a specification, an open source implementation, and a certification program for wirelessly connecting devices.
By SSI Staff · July 10, 2014
LOS ANGELES — Samsung, Dell and Intel this week introduced a home automation alliance called the Open Interconnect Consortium that creates an open-source standard for machine-to-machine communication.
Aiming to capitalize on the growing Internet of Things market, the standard competes with similar home automation standard groups such as the Qualcomm-led AllSeen Alliance, which counts LG and Microsoft among its 51 members, CRN.com reports.
The Open Interconnect Consortium's goal is to create a seamless wireless platform for everything from thermostats, security cameras and lightbulbs to talk to each other, CRN.com reports. The consortium said it will be releasing specifications for developers to create streamlined data flow between devices regardless of OS, device type or wireless communication standard later this year.
Home automation system integrators say while too many standards is never a good thing for consumers, it's a good sign for the home automation industry. "We are always excited to hear when large companies want to get into this market. It raises awareness among consumers and has the potential to drive new business for us," said Tyler Lantzy, president of SaaviHome, a small home automation systems integrator and Connect4 partner based in Louisville, Colo.
Tech giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and now Samsung are pursuing home automation strategies even though the technology has not yet caught on with most consumers, Lantzy told CRN.com. "These companies are all entering the space based on where they expect the market to go, rather than where it is now," he said.
Home automation is a subset of the IoT market, which research firm IDC forecasts will be worth $7.1 trillion by 2020. Major players are fiercely battling it out hoping to get a piece of that pie.
Google and Apple, however, are pursuing their home automation strategies alone, CRN.com reports.
Google in January spent $3.2 billion to buy Nest Labs, which makes energy-efficient thermostat and smoke/carbon dioxide alarms. Then in June, the company bolstered its home automation offerings by buying surveillance camera maker Dropcam for $555 million.
Apple debuted HomeKit for iOS 8 at its recent Worldwide Developers Conference. HomeKit products, which can be controlled with iOS 8 Apple devices, range from deadbolt locks to Philips Hue light bulbs to select Haier air conditioners.
The Open Interconnect Consortium members said open-source code will allow developers and device makers to create devices, wearables and sensors that communicate with one another regardless of OS or protocol. Open Interconnect Consortium standards will encompass wireless technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and near-field communication (NFC).

New Year's Eve comes with the perennial question: should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Thanks to the ABC's coverage of last night's fireworks-laden festivities, we have an answer: come back Richard Wilkins, all is forgiven.

ABC lights up social media with NYE fizzer
With national coverage, a host of guest stars and spectacular fireworks, the ABC's coverage of Australia's New Year's Eve celebrations should have been a sparkler, so what went wrong?
With the 2013 best and worst lists safely out of the way, the national broadcaster cleverly waited until December 31 to slip in one of the great televised train wrecks of this or any other year, taking the tired but tested formula honed over many years by Channel Nine and setting fire to it with a suicidal enthusiasm not seen since the first time they asked someone other than Bert to host the Logies.
It is hard to tell exactly what went wrong; suffice to say that almost nothing went right as the nation tuned in to watch Lawrence Mooney and Stephanie Brantz attempt to wrangle the annual harbourside celebration into something new, fresh and interesting. It was - in case you missed it and have only your own embarrassments to contemplate today - like watching a Quentin Tarantino remake of The Sound of Music.
In that sense, it had the advantage of keeping viewers screwed to the floor – it was hard to look away. But if you did, it hardly mattered: listening to it from another room was all you needed to know. Not a personality – be they Chaser luminary, newsroom star or musical act of head-scratching provenance – passed across the ABC couch without hollering their contributions with the fervour of harbourside guests who had fallen over the edge to find themselves being mauled by sharks.
At times, a viewer could sense the desperation from the talent: how bloody long till the big bang? Never fear, people. We at home shared your fevered hope that it would soon be over.
Quite what the ABC was trying to achieve may be unclear today, even to those who set out to achieve it. That it was an exercise in detonating the dag element of the Nine years seemed to be the obvious goal, but it's fair to say the half dozen people who found the exercise a breath of fresh, hip air were otherwise occupied on the night.
The shame is the waste of talent. There was poor Mooney, a man of great and varied wit, who might have wreaked havoc with the formula but was rendered largely startled by the occasion; Brantz, an accomplished ABC presenter who had the obvious misfortune of knowing she was the conductor of a train going off a cliff in a blaze of gunpowder; and a parade of guests about whom we will remember that they came, they sat, and they shouted.
In search of a redeeming feature, let's dip our lid to Shaun Micallef, who provided the voiceover on a series of year-in-review segments. Micallef doesn't miss a trick: he got the lines right and made sure he was nowhere near the place when the bomb went off.
But it wasn't enough. Next year - for Auld Lang Syne – let's leave the sparkly business with the experts in adding dazzle to an old dirge. Over to you, Richard Wilkins.

Solomon Burke
never made a major impact upon the pop audience -- he never, in fact, had a Top 20 hit -- he was an important early soul pioneer. On his '60s singles for Atlantic, he brought a country influence into R&B, with emotional phrasing and intricately constructed, melodic ballads and midtempo songs. At the same time, he was surrounded with sophisticated "uptown" arrangements and was provided with much of his material by his producers, particularly
Bert Berns
. The combination of gospel, pop, country, and production polish was basic to the recipe of early soul. While
wasn't the only one pursuing this path, not many others did so as successfully. And he, like
Otis Redding
Wilson Pickett
, was an important influence upon
the Rolling Stones
, who covered
's "Cry to Me" and "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" on their early albums.
came by his gospel roots even more deeply than most soul stars. He was preaching at his family's Philadelphia church and hosting his own gospel radio show even before he'd reached his teens. He began recording gospel and R&B sides for Apollo in the mid- to late '50s. Like several former gospel singers (
Aretha Franklin
Wilson Pickett
), he was molded into a more secular direction when he signed with Atlantic in the '60s.
had a wealth of high-charting R&B hits in the early half of the '60s, which crossed over to the pop listings in a mild fashion as well. "Just Out of Reach," "Cry to Me," "If You Need Me," "Got to Get You Off My Mind," "Tonight's the Night," and "Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye)" were the most successful of these, although, unlike
, he wasn't able to expand his R&B base into a huge pop following as well. He left Atlantic in the late '60s and spent the next decade hopping between various labels, getting his biggest hit with a cover of
Creedence Clearwater Revival
's "Proud Mary" in 1969, and recording an album in the late '70s with cult soulster
Swamp Dogg
as producer.
From the '80s through the first decade of the new millennium,
became one of the most visible living exponents of classic soul music, continuing to tour and record albums in a rootsy, at times gospel-ish style. Although these were critically well-received, their stylistic purity also ensured that their market was primarily confined to roots music enthusiasts, rather than a pop audience. His live and later recorded work, however, is a favorite of those who want to experience a soul legend with his talents and stylistic purity relatively intact.
's 2002 release
Don't Give Up on Me
was hailed as a major comeback for the legendary soul man. Great songwriters like
Elvis Costello
Dan Penn
Nick Lowe
, and
Tom Waits
contributed songs, and
Joe Henry
produced the album, which has been compared to
Johnny Cash
's landmark
American Recordings
After the critical success of
Don't Give Up on Me
's status as one of the greatest living exponents of classic soul, the singer teamed up with producer
Don Was
Make Do with What You Got
, an updated variation on his classic style that was released in spring 2005. A year later,
released an interesting country and soul hybrid,
, on Shout! Factory. A second album on the label,
Like a Fire
, followed in 2008.
next reunited with producer
Willie Mitchell
Nothing's Impossible
, which was released shortly after
s death in 2010 by Koch Records' E1 Music. In October of 2009,
teamed up with Dutch Soul band De Dijk for recording sessions that would become his final album: Hold on Tight. Sadly,
died on October 10, 2010 upon arrival at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands where the soul legend was scheduled to perform at a sold-out show at the city's Paradiso concert hall with De Dijk. Hold on Tight was eventually released in March 2011.

Youth volunteers, agents of change
San José, Costa Rica: Young people from around the world gathered for the BYND2015 Global Youth Summit in San José, Costa Rica on 9-11 September to discuss the post-2015 development agenda. UN Volunteers from Peru participated in the summit to highlight the importance of volunteering and the need to integrate it in all United Nations programmes.
Organized by the International Telecommunication Union and launched in the presence of the President of Costa Rica Laura Chinchilla and the UN Secretary General Special Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Alhendawi, the Summit brought together 700 young experts in Information and Communications Technologies, and over 3,000 young people from around the world who logged in virtually to contribute their ideas and influence decisions at the United Nations on the Future We Want.
Introducing the basic concepts of volunteering and human development, the UN Volunteers then gave young participants the opportunity to create their own social campaign using ICTs and volunteering.

Bugs we all know and "love" from XP..
,----[ Quote ]
| Am I the only one who screams "Hooray, there it is again!" when he realizes
| old bugs from Windows XP are back in Windows Vista?
So they patch them in XP, but the codebase is forked, so...
Very nice. "Development collapse" just as Microsoft called it.
Microsoft reportedly delays release of RTM version of Vista

| ...additional bugs were found in the RTM build

Environment Laws
Sep 24, 2012
Why bother at all with environment laws, Mr Ahluwalia?
Montek Singh Aluwahlia and all of UPA II seem to be blaming environmental norms as an impediment to growth, and are seeking to subvert green laws as far as possible. So why not just abolish them in Parliament? #ThatsJustWrong #Manmohan Singh #Montek Singh Aluwahlia #Environment Laws #Green laws

Hock (wine)
Hock is a British term for German white wine; sometimes it refers to white wine from the Rhine region and sometimes to all German white wine.[1]
It is short for the obsolete word "hockamore", which is an alteration of "Hochheimer", derived from the name of the town of Hochheim am Main in Germany.
The term seems to have been in use in the 17th century, initially for white wines from the middle Rhine, but in the 18th century it came to be used for any German white wine sold in Britain.[1]
It seems probable that Queen Victoria's visit to Hochheim and its vineyards during harvest time in 1850 contributed to the continued use of the word "hock".
Modern usage[edit]
Today "hock" is occasionally seen on bottles of (mostly cheaper) white wine sold in the United Kingdom. In Australia, hock is still known as the main ingredient of an old-fashioned summer drink called "hock, lime, and lemon."
