As anticipated
Light and Easy

I was delighted to find this product. It is way less expensive than the commercial products and contains none of the sugars and flavorings that they do. It works well. I take it just for additional dietary fiber first thing in the morning. I'm going to take it with me on my trip to Central America next year as an anti-dote to possible bowel problems.
Posted by Reviewer1897219 on Apr 22, 2009
I use 1 tsp. per day mixed with water. it certainly helps with regularity.
great source of fiber,
Posted by Reviewer2450074 on Sep 13, 2010
I use it every day in the morning mostly, it works for me.
Prefer whole husks compared to powders
Posted by Reviewer1732519 on Oct 26, 2010
I have used Psyllium powder products, but Now Food's whole Psyllium husks are of a higher quality. I can see they are real husks, as opposed to mystery powders!
Seems ok for now
Posted by Reviewer1568078 on Nov 11, 2010
I started taking these whole psyllium husks with bentonite clay every morning before breakfast... and sometimes an hour before dinner. I could feel it moving through my lower intestine... strange. But now I feel great and I'm regular.
Great Stuff
Posted by Reviewer1866874 on Jan 27, 2011
Love the product and the service!

The following was forwarded to me as an email by VE4BAW. I added a few pictures off the internet to dress things up a bit but the text is courtesy of Donald Courcy, VE2CW.
As you will see from reading through his article he has a great deal of love for our submarine fleet and he wears the dolphins proudly…
HMCS OJIBWA is a cold war Canadian Oberon Class submarine which
was in service in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1965 to 1998. The
submarine has been acquired by the Elgin Military Museum of St. Thomas,
Ontario and will soon be towed from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Port Burwell, Ontario where it will be preserved and operated as a submarine museum.
Plans are being prepared to restore the radio room onboard the
submarine as an active ham radio club station, operating under
call sign VA3ZFQ, in memory of OJIBWA's former international call sign CZFQ.
I am a former submariner who served onboard submarines HMCS
OJIBWA, HMCS ONONDAGA and HMCS OKANAGAN during the cold war. I have agreed to sponsor call sign VA3ZFQ until a local ham radio operator in the Port Burwell area, with an advanced radio certificate, comes forward to take over as the sponsor.
Call sign VA3ZFQ has just been assigned to HMCS OJIBWA Submarine
MuseumAmateur Radio Club (HOSMARC). To view the VA3ZFQ info at
QRZ.com, CLICK ON THE PICTURE OF THE SUB (ABOVE)
Once the submarine has been towed from Halifax and installed at Port
Burwell, the restoration of the radio room will begin.
Volunteers will be needed to assist in the project. We will also be looking for old naval radio equipment. Details about the radio room restoration
will be posted in the coming months on the:
VA3ZFQ page at http://www.qrz.com/
For more information about The Ojibwa Project in Port Burwell,
Ontario, click on the Museum Logo (above)
If you are interested in helping out during the restoration of
the radio room onboard OJIBWA, and/or in joining the HMCS OJIBWA Submarine MuseumAmateur Radio Club (HOSMARC), send an email to
You might recall that I was involved in a similar endeavour 3
years ago in Rimouski, Quebec, where OJIBWA's sister submarine HMCS
ONONDAGA was installed as a submarine museum. The radio room onboard ONONDAGA is now on the air as a ham radio club station and operating under call sign VA2GNQ in memory of ONONDAGA's former international call sign CGNQ. The station is operated by members of the St-Lawrence Amateur Radio Club found at http://www.ve2csl.ca

The Star-Spangled BannerPosted Wednesday, September 12, 2012, at 11:05 AM
The story of how our National Anthem came to be is often told at events and churches around patriotic holidays and rightly so. The poem penned by Francis Scott Key, "Defense of Fort McHenry," from which the National Anthem is derived is quite eloquent and stirring. When placed within the melody of the 18th century English drinking song "The Anacreontic Song," better known as "To Anacreon in Heaven," it becomes absolutely goose bump inspiring.
The telling of the story over the last several years has become enhanced. The tale now told is more dramatic, exhilarating, heartwarming, and patriotic. The elements of danger are vastly greater, the villainy of the British more ghastly, the odds more insurmountable, the results more gut-wrenching and pride filling.
As heard on the radio station out of Marble Hill, from pulpits, and speeches, Fort McHenry in Baltimore was in poor condition. Some of the women and children of the area had gone to the fort to seek safety. Francis Scott Key, onboard a British ship, was securing the release of prisoners from the British. After successfully negotiating a release for prisoners he was informed that they would be held on board until after the bombardment of Fort McHenry. Key then looked and saw hundreds of ships on the horizon and was told by a British admiral that it was the entire British war fleet. They were all to participate in the bombardment. Key then proclaimed that the fort was predominately not a military fort and that women and children were there seeking shelter. The admiral told Key that all they had to do was lower the flag over the fort to avoid the attack.
After twenty-five hours of bombardment Key saw that the flag was still flying. The flag pole was at an odd angle, but the flag was still flying. Having gone ashore, Key hurried to the fort. There he saw the bodies of dead patriots surrounding the flag pole and holding it up. No number of dead is given, but these bodies were holding up a ninety foot flagpole with a 40 foot by 32 foot flag at the top. The number of dead had to be enormous.
The story reveals many more fascinating details and makes for an absolutely wonderful crescendo to any patriotic holiday. This incredibly spectacular moment in American history could only be more resounding if it were . . . well, true. The smallest of efforts by anyone would reveal that the bulk of this story is pure fiction.
Francis Scott Key was on a British ship to secure the release of prisoners, Fort McHenry was bombarded, and the flag of the United States was still flying when morning came. In the light of the facts, the rest of the story fizzles out.
Beginning with the fort itself, it was very much a military fort with over 1,000 infantry troops assigned to it. Expecting the fort to be attacked, George Armistead, the fort commander, had ordered and completed defensive improvements. In 1812 the British Navy consisted of over 600 ships with more under construction. The highest number reported to be at Fort McHenry was nineteen, this was just over three percent of the fleet. As for the scores of American patriots whose bodies were holding the flag pole, well the actual number of casualties was four dead, twenty-four wounded.
Truth, apparently, is sacrificial when an agenda is pursued and its relevance is a variable when a supposed greater good is being sought. Undoubtedly, this corrupted history was written and has been retold to create a respect and reverence for the men and women who nurtured this nation in its infancy. The knowledge of moments of self-sacrificial glory enhance our fundamental instincts to protect and defend. It also instills pride to the depths of our souls and to the marrow of our bones.
Respect and reverence. At what cost? Truth! By perpetuating this mythology we decay the benchmark of truth and denigrate it's accuracy and relevance.
Pride and glory. At what cost? There were over 1500 rounds of rockets and cannonballs fired at a fort less than two acres in size and yet there were only four deaths. Who deserves the glory for that? We should seriously consider the value of robbing the Almighty of His glory by creating a mythology that gives the praise and glory to man.
Corruption never fails to diminish truth.

Hey Mike, check my latest statement on my earlier blog entry on Repealing the 17th Amendment. I think you'll like it!

This is the first time I have heard it explained this way. Way back when ... when I was in elementary school and learning about our country, the story just told about the battle all night long and at dawn the next morning, Francis Scott Key saw the flag still flying - so he wrote the words to our National Anthem. Interesting.

Welcome aboard Mike, looking forward to more interesting items. History should be truthfully remembered, our country has enough half truths floating around, what is true, false or just fairy tales.

Approximately 2,300 scientists, regulators and engineers from more than 45 countries attended the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) North America 33rdAnnual Meeting in November in Long Beach, Calif. The 5-day meeting offered 1,800 presentations on topics ranging from "Deepwater Horizon: What Have We Learned?" and "Canadian Oil Sands" to "Advances in Nanotechnology" and "Debating Global Climate Change." Meetings, workshops and seminars such as these are instrumental for the exchange of information among scientists, regulators and engineers; the networking, collaboration and interaction are critical in advancing science and innovation. However, recent US government travel restrictions in anticipation of upcoming legislation and budget cuts severely impacted attendance by government scientists, including a flood of last-minute cancellations.
Scientific conferences contribute significantly to the local economy. According to the Long Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, SETAC attendees spent about $1.55 million while at the meeting. In addition, SETAC volunteers participated in a restoration service project at Los Cerritos Wetlands, planting and propagating a variety of emergent plants and weeding invasive species. As part of a carbon-offset program, SETAC and its meeting participants donated more than $15,000 to the Friends of the Colorado Lagoon, to help with their effort to restore critical saltmarsh habitat, and to students at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, to support their carbon sequestration and shoreline re-vegetation efforts of Lake Waco.
While SETAC strongly supports Congressional efforts to address the nation's financial condition and the long-term solvency of the U.S. Postal Service, language in H.R. 2146, the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA), and S. 1789, the 21st Century Postal Service Act, could have serious unintended consequences, particularly because Congress is under pressure to act quickly.
In particular, amendment SA 2060 to the 21st Century Postal Reform Act is unrelated to efforts to reform and modernize the Postal Service; instead it restricts government employees from attending meetings and conferences. The amendment could have severe negative consequences on scientific discovery, technological innovation and job growth. The dangers of government employees operating in a vacuum—with fewer opportunities to learn and exchange information with other sectors in a conference or meeting setting—are too great to ignore.
Along with more than 2,100 other professional societies, SETAC is delivering a letter to key Congressional offices, expressing concern over the devastating effects such legislation could have on government scientists and on researchers' ability to interact with peers from universities and private industry.
We need your help in spreading the word. Send a message to your members of Congress to make them aware of this amendment and the damage it could cause to public-private partnerships.

Recognizing that the solutions to the ever-increasing threats to the world's oceans and coastlines lie in highly trained and knowledgeable scientists and policy makers, Marine Biology occupies a prominent position here at the University of New Haven.
As an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean, with numerous rivers emptying into it, Long Island Sound is a marine biologist's paradise. Happily for students of marine biology at UNH, that paradise is only minutes away.
Jump right in.
Unlike most universities that only offer marine biology courses to upper division students, UNH students start their marine biology program as first semester freshmen – with a hands-on, intensive marine field methods course. Freshmen marine biology students also have the opportunity to explore the diversity of careers they may choose to pursue within the field upon graduation. All students in the program have the opportunity to engage in field and laboratory research projects. In addition, small class sizes mean frequent and meaningful student-faculty contact, making your experience in the program one-of-a-kind.
- Dr. Carmela Cuomo, Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Science; Director, Marine Biology Program
Chart your course.
As a student in this program, you will take a Marine Biology Careers course that introduces you to the many careers within the field. To name a few specializations: marine ecology, aquaculture, coastal resource management, marine pollution, marine botany, and conservation of marine organisms. Those looking to hire marine biologists include government agencies, academic and research institutions, environmental and conservation organizations, industries, the oil and gas industry, pharmaceutical companies and numerous other industries.
Study overseas.
The program encourages study abroad in junior year to broaden your field expertise and expand your comfort zone into other cultures. Students have studied abroad in Australia and New Zealand as well as in Europe. Additionally, UNH marine biology students may choose to study with our own faculty in a tropical marine biology course at the Gerace Tropical Research Station on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas.

About the Author: Jean Preston serves as Environment, Science and Technology Affairs Counselor at U.S. Embassy Rome.
On March 17, 2010, U.S. Ambassador to Italy David Thorne, U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Miguel Díaz, and U.S. Ambassador to the UN Agencies in Rome Ertharin Cousin were joined by Rome Mayor Gianni Alemanno and hundreds of volunteers -- including embassy employees and U.S. and Italian students -- for an early Earth Day celebration.
Armed with gloves and paint, they cleaned tagging from the historic Rome neighborhood of Trastevere. The event was organized in collaboration with the "Retake Rome" group, a grassroots, apolitical organization originally inspired by an American woman resident of Rome and now sponsored by the Garibaldi Foundation. "Retake Rome" is growing dynamically, especially among Italian and expat students from grade school through university. Ambassador Thorne explained to the press about Earth Day, "We have been celebrating it for 40 years, because it was an important event. It's important that citizens have in their hearts respect for the environment." All three ambassadors emphasized their interest in giving back to the community, both the City of Rome that hosts them and also the broader community at large.

Pumpkin Ginger Ice Cream and a Vanilla Mint Pudding By GreenChef Heather Pace

Photographer Heather Pace
I've decided that it's time for a few recipes. I've been sitting on these for a while now. In fact, I made the pudding in the summer, as you'll see by the green plants in the background of the picture – the ground is now covered in snow. The second recipe is a wintery ice cream. It's very different from the ice creams I'm used to making, and more in keeping in line with my latest dietary needs. In both cases I've used young coconut as a base. I love its versatility!
Mint and vanilla are one of my favorite flavor combinations. They don't necessarily appear to be a match, but there is just something about these ingredients that works well together. It's my favorite Moonie Pie flavor too – you'll see that the mint filling is actually filled with both vanilla and mint.
Speaking of moonie pies, a funny thing happened today. Philip is in England right now and while he was dining at Saf Restaurant, he saw a moonie pie on their dessert menu (he even snapped a pic of it written on the menu, for me, hehe). He never tried it or saw the actual dessert, but we found it interesting. I'll take it as a compliment.
This recipe is fairly low glycemic, with coconut and stevia as the sweeteners. I like to use both fresh mint and it's essential oil to balance the flavors and make them come to life. If you don't have the essential oil use a natural extract, but the oil is superior in quality and taste. Like the mint, I use two kinds of vanilla (the seeds of the fresh bean, and a natural extract) to achieve a more multi dimensional taste.

Tell The World, I Am The Proud Parent Of My Little Number 2. It's Colon Cleansing Time!

Monkie Character : Poo ™
Before I launch or should I say, explode into todays topic, lets take a collective pause. Now this pause isn't for me, it's for you. Take a breath, calm your mind, get rid of any images which you might have in your head. Push away any food you may have in front of you. And if your unfortunately eating something which involves chocolate, lick your fingers and swallow that shit before we move.
Okay, so your all zenning out now, right? Feeling comfortable? Your mind is clear and open to new subjects? Good, because the topic for today has got to be my favorite subject in the entire world. I mean we are all the proud parents of this stuff multiple times a day (if your healthy that is). So I say why not sing about it, or in my case, trap some friends at the dinner table or post about it on G Living, right! Okay kids, strap in, here we go…
I am the type of gal who loves to talk about poop. I love it. I just do. My poop, my friend's poop, my family's poop, stranger's poop. When someone's got a poop question, I am the one they call. I have an enthralling curiosity by, not only what goes into the body, but also what comes out. Yes, my friends, I am here to express and hopefully inspire the importance of embracing your POOP! Well, not literally. I'm talking about inspecting that porcelain throne of yours with scientific excitement. It could teach you a thing or two about what is going on with your internal health. Bring insight to why you are feeling a certain way, how you're digesting or not digesting foods and most importantly when it's time for you to do a little Colon Cleanse. Your colon works hard for you each day, so why not take some time and clean that old sh*t outta there!!
I also was feeling a wee bit puffy, bloated, my energy levels were dropping and I wasn't pooping as good anymore :(
I know, I know I am very discreet. I asked a friend of mine if he finally used the colon cleanse I gave him to do just that and his response was," Is there a more delicate flower under the sun than you, more precious?" What can I say, I love to talk sh*t…
Well, my exciting poop exploration is exactly what happened to yours truly and what has inspired this post. As some of you know, a few months ago I returned from my fabulous Italian food and wine adventure with gusto and glee. And since getting back, I have continued my Italian eating and drinking vino roll that I adapted to oh so well in Italia. I was enjoying myself and not thinking about what I was eating or how much wine I was drinking. The Italian foodie way smoothly became a part of my lifestyle and my diet consisted of more and more acidic foods I never really ate before I left for Italia. (see chart below for acidic food reference) For awhile I thought, "Damn, how am I not feeling or looking like crap eating and drinking this way?" And then, of course, the inevitable hit me…or, I shall say, the craters hit me…don don donanna…the pimples, yes I said plural, started a comin'!!! I was in high school all over again. Ahhhhhh. I also was feeling a wee bit puffy, bloated, my energy levels were dropping and I wasn't pooping as good anymore. Huh.

I just opened a bag of Sejak that I purchased from Tea Trekker last year. According to the label it's 2011 harvest 3rd plucking. So far my varied attempts at brewing have been very disappointing. I know that last year's tea won't be as good as fresh tea but given that it was packed and sealed in Korea I was hoping for enough fla or to tempt me to buy some 2012 harvest tea.
Any brewing tips for coaxing some flavor out of this tea?

N+1 Singer - Northern lights - Shining prospects for 2017
16 Jan 17
As the birthplace of Stephenson, Armstrong and Swan, the North East of England has a proud history of industrial and technological innovation. Despite local economic challenges, the region's industrial heritage lives on through continuing success in high end engineering and technology. The recent takeovers of private equity backed SMD (subsea robotics) and Nomad Digital (wi-fi on the railways) are testament to this. The North East has also emerged as a leader in genetics and genomics with an enviable life sciences and healthcare infrastructure. Against this backdrop, we expect the region to continue to throw up attractive IPO candidates to build on the six new listings in the past three years. We expect 2017 to be far kinder to the existing portfolio of North East plcs than 2016 (a year to forget) with recent management changes one important theme for the new year. Our top picks are Hargreaves Services, Quantum Pharma and Zytronic (all N+1 Singer Corporate clients) and we are Buyers of Northgate and Grainger.

What a year it was!
16 Jan 17
2016 got off to a rocky start. Not long into January, after just a few trading days, global equity markets lost more than US$4tn of value due to investor sentiment towards China's economic slowdown and depreciating currency. This was immediately followed by a slump in the oil price. By the third week of January, Brent Crude hit its year low at $27.10 a barrel causing an immediate sell off in the energy sector. Once the Q1 dust had settled, attention turned to the UK's vote on whether to remain a member of the EU. The Brexit vote result proved to be a genuine shock for markets, with many investors having believed that the UK would stay within the European Union. Attention soon turned to the equally ill-tempered US Presidential elections and all the political and economic unknowns that Trump's victory has spawned. As a result, AIM, has seen a roller-coaster of a year in 2016.

Dog Bites: How to Teach Your Children to Be Safe
Most dogs will never bite anyone. However, any dog may bite if it feels threatened. Children are the most common victims of dog bites. Infants and young children should never be left alone with a dog. This handout tells you how to teach your children to avoid getting bitten.
What should I do if I want a dog for a pet?
Take time to learn about the breed of dog you want. To learn about dog breeds, talk with a veterinarian, read books about dogs and search the Internet. Don't get a dog only because of the way it looks. If you have an infant or young child, think about getting a puppy. Be especially careful if you have a baby in your house. Aggressive dog breeds aren't right for families with children. Neutered male dogs are generally less aggressive.
Consider taking your new dog to obedience school. Keep your dog's immunizations up to date. Have your dog checked regularly by a veterinarian.
What do I tell my children about dogs?
- Don't go near strange dogs.
- Never bother a dog that is eating, sleeping or caring for puppies.
- Tell an adult about any stray dogs.
- Always have an adult with you when you play with a dog.
- Never tease a dog.
- Never pet a dog without first letting it smell you.
What should I tell my children to do when a dog approaches them?
- Don't run away and scream.
- Stand very still, "like a tree." (See first picture below.)
- Avoid making direct eye contact with the dog.
- If you fall or are knocked down, act "like a log." (See second picture below.)
- When the dog understands that you are not a threat, it will probably walk away.
- If a dog bites you, tell an adult right away.
A dog is a wonderful addition to a family, but it can be a problem if you aren't careful. Always talk to children about how they should act when they're with a dog. Remember that dogs can feel threatened by new surroundings or strangers.

My Ride: 1999 BMW 323i
Speaker Issues
A few weeks ago I tried installing a subwoofer and amp in the back of my 1999 323i. I wanted to keep my stock stereo so I purchased an LOC. I tapped into the rear deck speakers and remote wires near the amp. After installed, only sound was coming out of the subwoofer, and none of the speakers in the car. After testing different things, I then tried to wire everything back how it was before, and still, no sound came from the speakers. The AMP ended up getting hot very quickly, even with the car off. I took it to an audio shop and they said that the wiring looked good, and that the problem had to be the amp. So, I went and bought a used amp off of ebay, which fits my serial number, etc.
I ended up getting an amp a few days ago after that, and after putting it in, only the right side speakers had noise going through them, and I mean noise. The sound wasn't clear at all, there was just a ton of static, and you could hardly make out the song. I thought maybe it was the antenna, but tried CD's and received the same result. I figured the amp was faulty, so I sent it back.
I then ordered another amp off of ebay. I ended up getting this one just a day ago, and this time, only the left side speakers had noise coming out. The front right speakers had a bit of noise coming through them, but the rear speaker did not. Just like the first time, it was simply noise, a ton of static. You could hardly make out the song, just like the first time.
So, I'm pretty lost. Is this amp also bad, or is there something else that could be causing these issues? Anything at all would help.
EDIT: I've also thought about just bypassing the amp completely, would this be possible? If so, how?

At the AMD Fusion Development Summit (AFDS), Advanced Micro Devices for the first time demonstrated its next-generation code-named Trinity accelerated processing unit (APU) in action. This is the first evidence that the chip, which will be released as AMD's mainstream solution in 2012, is already working. The product is expected to be 50% faster than existing offerings.
"Our next product called Trinity is lined up for next year. [The chip's] performance will be at least 50% faster than [400GFLOPS] performance you see today from the Llano. Think less than ten years from now, 2020, 10TFLOPS performance in a notebook," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD products group.
Trinity is the first microprocessor that AMD showcased physically that features the company's next-generation Bulldozer x86 processing engines along with a new-generation Radeon graphics engine (potentially utilizing VLIW4 micro-architecture).
The live demonstration of Trinity included playback of a high-definition video along with Windows operating system. The company decided not to showcase any performance-demanding applications, therefore, it is unknown whether the firm is glad with its first Trinity silicon, which is made using 32nm process technology.
It is noteworthy that Mr. Bergman did not indicate whether Trinity will be available in the first half of 2012, or in the second half of the year. For AMD, it is now crucial to introduce its next-generation APU around the same time when Intel Corp.'s delayed code-named Ivy Bridge chip hits the market in early Q2 2012 in order to compete for design wins head-to-head with the market leader.
"We actually decided to surprise you here and actually show you a demo of Trinity platform. What you saw here was high-definition video playback, you also saw that Windows is running just fine," said Mr. Bergman.
Developers of microprocessors traditionally demonstrate working samples of their products about a year ahead of the commercial release. AMD said that it has had Trinity silicon for several weeks now.

In short: Not a quick course but certainly a favourite.Date of review: April 6, 2008
In short: Excellent race, snow made things interestingIn full: The weather could have been a lot worse, there was a lot of snow but very little wind. The race was very well organised with really excellent marshalling despite the arctic weather.The hill is a toughie, normally you can make up the time on the downslope but this year the track through the woods was very slippery and certainly cost people a few seconds on each lap. I was pleased with my time, 3 minutes quicker than last year and 1.20 faster than my PB set at the end of 2007.Date of review: March 28, 2008
In short: Excellent race, made even more scenic by the snow!In full: A very well organised event using a very picturesque course which was made even better by the snow.

Severe overcrowding
Camp Douglas, the Union prison camp in Chicago, Illinois, grew quickly and was poorly administered by a series of commandants. Prisoners accused several of cruelty. The camp had a maximum capacity of 6,000. But by 1864 it housed more than 12,000 Confederate soldiers as well as a few civilians suspected of sympathizing with the Confederacy or planning escapes. The official death count at Camp Douglas was 4,454. Some 1,500 men, however, were "unaccounted for."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (145 votes).
In short: Hills, wind and rain... no one said it was going to be easyDate of review: March 9, 2011
In short: Excellent marshalling, well enough signed, road centric with traffic but full of bon-honie. Feels like a race organized by runners for runnersIn full: If you fancy a hilly road course with the vagueries of a coastal October in the UK then look no further. I thought the atmosphere, remembering that it's a small race with little public support, was excellent. The course is certainly engaging and the last few miles offer little let up until the last. It's a challenge and a lot of fun. I see people complain about the meddle - not sure what you more you'd expect for the modest entrance fee. Congratulations to all involved, competitors and officials alike.Date of review: October 7, 2010
In short: Hard but such a feeling of satisfaction when you've finished!In full: Yes it's hilly but we know that. But the marshalls and organisers are so fantastically encouraging that somehow you get round - I even PB'd!Date of review: October 5, 2010
In short: It's a tough one right enoughIn full: A couple of years ago I had a moan about the loop which led back to the foot of the hill towards the end of the course which was a destroyer. This time the loop was around the 5 mile mark. Thanks to the organisors for listening and for the brilliant marshals and drink station voluntees whose vocal support made up for the complete lack of public support. I'll be back.Date of review: October 5, 2010
In short: The mother of all marathonsIn full: The weather was dreadful on race day but a good turn out of runners none the less. At the start it was windy and rained hard and stayed that way for the next few hours. The route through the island was nice although not traffic free so high vis clothing recommended. Plenty of water stations - water only given in cups however the organisers will place drinks and food at stations for individual runners if requested. Well marshalled, probably as many marshalls as runners! The route is hilly and very hard and I was very glad to see the finish line. Got the usual cheap medal with no ribbon, however once youve run this route the medal feels like youve won the lottery. I will be back next year to beat my isle of wight marathon PB (which is 45 minutes behind my usual marathon PB!).Date of review: October 5, 2010
In short: Minimalist organisation (water only) but good marshalling all way through. Why avoiding scenery road and go for busy traffic?In full: I'm everyone would pay few pounds more and the club could find a sponsor to provide something little more than only water in five station. Not even a banana or any food at finish.The real disappointment was to run 90% of time on roads with busy traffic. I made the trip expecting a far more scenic route. Not really worth the trip.Date of review: October 4, 2010
In short: Oh well, I was in the Isle of wight anyway!!In full: Did this last year, so I already knew about the hideous medal and the fact its hard and hilly. But, this year was a bit of a big let down!!! The large field opposite was used for parking last year and was very convenient, this year it stood empty with everyone searching for elsewhere!! Then, at about mile 7 a massive group of us (Even a couple of local guys!!!) went the wrong way! I was on course to blow last years time out the water, but due to no marshall at a crossroads made the whole event a complete waste of time! As yet I have seen no apology on their website. Sorry Ryde Harriers, you had a shocker!Date of review: August 21, 2010
In short: It was my first, so for now I'm saying it was good!In full: A really nice hilly run, not as hilly as i thought but still good to hammer the legs a bit. As with most of my long runs the first 3 miles was the worst part, some big hills near the start. We didn't get lost like some other runners, but I can see why they did, at a couple of stages there was nobody, so it was pot luck we stuck to route. Even at the very end we nearly look an accidental shortcut to the finish line across the field. The marshalls were all very friendly and supportive and had all the best intentions. I don't really have any gripes about the race or curcuit, OK the medal was naff but i wasnt running for the medal. Overall i enjoyed it a lot, slightly challenging, and i would recommend it to runners who are accepting of the quality you'll get from a smaller scale event.Date of review: August 17, 2010
In full: Fairly tough course took me through some pretty places on the IOW. However this did not make up for very poor organization - namely, lack of signposts/marshalls enroute, not enough waterstations. Having made considerable effort to get there, really wondered why I'd bothered. Date of review: August 16, 2010
In short: DisappointingIn full: I don't know the IOW particularly well but I'm sure there must be a better half marathon course than this somewhere on the island. Most of the course was on traffic clogged A-roads with no pavement and poor direction. Medal didn't even have a ribbon!!Date of review: August 16, 2010

OCZ Technology, a leading supplier of premium memory and flash products as well as other computer gear, on Monday officially launched its Neutrino netbook aimed at "do-it-yourself" users who want maximum customization. While OCZ Neutrino does offer opportunities to tailor a netbook for personal needs, it offers little interest for multimedia and performance enthusiasts since it is based on the year-old first-generation Intel Atom platform.
OCZ Neutrino is powered by Intel Atom N270 (1.60GHz) processor as well as Intel 945 GSE core-logic with integrated DirectX 9-class graphics core and DDR2 memory support. The laptop is equipped with 10.1" display with 1024x600 resolution, 1.3MP webcam with built-in microphone, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g controller and so on. The system comes with 4-cell 2200mAh battery, which should ensure slightly longer battery time compared to typical 3-cell batteries used on other netbooks.
The Neutrino DIY netbook provides opportunity to install up to 2GB of memory, a solid-state drive or a hard drive in 2.5" form-factor, a 4-in-1 card reader and so on. Unfortunately for multimedia enthusiasts, the system is powered by the first-generation Intel Atom platform and does not support DirectX 10-class graphics core. Moreover, some will find 1024x600 resolution insufficient. Still, there are customers who may like an idea of a DIY netbook with options to customize according to the needs.
"There are many consumers that desire the blend of essential functionalities and an ultra compact form factor, and our new Neutrino Do-It-Yourself netbooks based on Intel Atom technology allows users to design and configure their very own solution tailored to their unique needs. The Neutrino DIY netbook puts the control back in the hands of consumers by allowing them to configure a feature rich netbook with their own memory, storage, and preferred OS into a reasonably priced go-anywhere computing solution," said Alex Mei, chief marketing officer of the OCZ Technology Group.
End-users may either acquire the Neutrino barebone as well as necessary components separately from OCZ or may order factory assembly of the solution.

Scientists say you need to compare the most extreme events to 'ordinary' extreme events.climate change may well have contributed to whatever is going on, it can't be definitively fingered as the sole cause.
When an extreme event occurs, people 'find out what we are not adapted to,' says one expert.fossil-fuel burning and deforestation, are driving up Earth's average temperature. The increase in CO2 was first confirmed in the 1960s, and rising temperatures in the late 1980s. But simply spotting the two trends wasn't proof there was a cause-and-effect relationship. In order to show that, scientists had to rule out other possible explanations.
It's clear that what used to be highly unusual events are now becoming more common.D&A scientists have used as a benchmark the hottest days and nights of every month and every year. To see if heat waves — defined as three or more days of excessively high temperatures — are increasing, they've looked for the hottest three-day periods for each year going back through the last century's weather records. In both cases, it's clear that what used to be highly unusual events are now becoming more common.
Recent reports suggest climate conditions relating to the Russian heat wave were primarily natural.work backwards and apply the extreme value approach to the most unusual events the climate models have simulated.

Older Workers Keep Jobs Because They're More Productive, Educated
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Conventional wisdom has it that older workers who delay retirement block younger workers from moving up the career ladder, causing those 20-, 30- or even 40-somethings serious damage to their career earnings.
There is some truth to that, glimpsed in sheer numbers: According to Gallup, the average age of retirement in the U.S. has risen from 57 years old in 1993 to 61 years old today.
In 1995, 49% of Americans figured they would retire before age 65. Only 26% of U.S. workers believe that now, Gallup says.
Age doesn't tell the whole story, though. A study by Gary Burtless, an analyst at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, does acknowledge that the share of the U.S. workforce 60 years old or older is "increasing" -- but only highly productive workers are remaining in the workforce, making for "little evidence the aging workforce has hurt productivity."
From the study:
There'sevidence that more productive workers stay in the workforce longer than less productive ones. Using a standard measure of worker productivity -- hourly wages -- workers between 60 and 74 are more productive than average workers who are younger.
Writing on his blog, Burtless says that the gap in educational status may be a better way to compare the size of paychecks between 60-year-olds and 40-year-olds:
Compared with earlier generations of aged Americans and compared with contemporary prime-age workers, today's elderly are unusually well educated. Their high relative earnings and later retirement are partly explained by this fact. ... I consider whether an aging workforce has dragged down average worker productivity over the past quarter century. At least so far, the answer is an emphatic "No." Improved education among the population past 60 and delays in retirement among better educated Americans have tended to boost the earnings of older workers compared with younger ones.
In 1988, it was younger careerists who held the edge in educational status, and by a significant margin. Now those are the workers using their smarts and savvy to remain valuable to their companies, hanging onto jobs -- and fatter paychecks - longer than ever. That leaves some of the new crop of younger workers wondering not if they will have to delay their retirements, but, rather, for how long,

Topic: Date Comparison
I'm an absolute beginner to ruby and rails. I'm trying to develop a financial application. I'm done with scaffolding and most of the changes i wanted to make in the scaffolded code. there's one thing though, that i havent been able to implement.
I have a model Transaction for transactions that are made. It has a date field, for the date on which the transaction was made. I want the user to be able to select a date and then be able to see all the transactions made after that date. I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work.
Its a big step, learning a new language and a framework at the same time, while you're developing an application which you actually need to deploy. The reason I shifted to RoR was because I didn't have a lot of time. I made considerable progress in very less time but now i'm absolutely stuck.

Katrina offers lesson on wetlands protection
Wetlands could have protected New Orleans, experts say, if so many acres hadn't been destroyed by years of alterations to the Mississippi River.
By MATTHEW WAITE and CRAIG PITTMAN
Published September 5, 2005
For years, experts have warned that New Orleans was doomed to drown.
Louisiana has lost more than 1-million acres of wetlands at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Scientists estimated that every 24 minutes another acre sank beneath the waves.
All those swampy acres could have protected New Orleans from inundation by Hurricane Katrina's record 29-foot storm surge. They used to function "like a sponge, absorbing rain and wind," said Craig E. Colten, a geography professor from Louisiana State University and author of Unnatural Metropolis: Wrestling New Orleans from Nature.
But now they're gone.
What happened to New Orleans should serve as a warning to other hurricane-prone states about the value of wetlands, experts say.
"We should not countenance another acre of coastal wetlands loss anywhere," said Jim Tripp, an environmental activist who serves on Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco's Advisory Commission on Coastal Restoration and Conservation. "It's foolhardy."
Using satellite imagery, the St. Petersburg Times found that Florida has lost 84,000 acres of wetlands to urban development over the past 15 years.
Unlike Florida, Louisiana's wetlands weren't replaced by subdivisions and strip malls. They were wiped out by alterations to the river itself. Since the 1800s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been molding the Mississippi to fit mankind's needs, and ignoring the effect on the environment.
The corps dredged channels that turned the Mississippi into a backbone of the nation's economy and New Orleans into a bustling port city, a hub for the oil and gas industry and agriculture.
And thanks to the corps' work raising levees to hold back the river and Lake Ponchartrain, tourists visiting the Big Easy didn't worry about getting their shoes wet. But scientists now believe those alterations are responsible for as much as half the erosion of the state's coastal wetlands.
When Hurricane Betsy hit in 1965, "we had hundreds of square miles of more wetlands to protect New Orleans," said Marc Levitan, director of Louisiana State University's Hurricane Center. "The city is much more exposed, because those coastal wetlands are all gone."
Before the alterations, millions of tons of sediment flowing south in the Mississippi River would have replenished the wetlands and barrier islands in the delta on a regular basis.
"The levees on either side of the river meant increased water flow, so that what had been the tons and tons of sediment deposited as flood plain silt was being sent farther into the Gulf," Colton said.
The corps was not alone in killing wetlands that thrived on fresh water thundering down the river.
"Oil and gas interests dig canals wherever they like through the marshes" in order to lay pipelines from their offshore oil and gas rigs, said Carl A. Brasseaux, director of the Center for Louisiana Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
"These canals led to saltwater intrusion that killed the (freshwater) marsh grasses, Brasseaux said.
That Louisiana's coastal wetlands have been disappearing has been known since the 1950s. The only solution, the experts agreed, was to rebuild the marshes, although they differed on how.
Since the 1980s Louisiana officials have asked Congress for money to do the work, but Congress was unwilling to spend much on a program where there were so many disagreements on solutions.
Then, in 1998, Hurricane Georges came within a hair of slamming into New Orleans. The near-miss scared everyone in Louisiana into agreeing to work together. They drew up a plan for restoration, but it had a $14-billion price tag. That's higher even than the anticipated cost of restoring the Everglades, which corps officials have called the largest environmental restoration project in history.
Congress and the Bush Administration balked.
Last year, after Hurricane Ivan gave Louisiana another scare, Congress again failed to act.
"What is it going to take for Congress and the president to realize this is not just another project?" gubernatorial aide Sidney Coffee told the New Orleans Times-Picayune last year. "Would we have had to get hit by the big one? Who wants to wait for that? Surely it shouldn't have to take loss of life, does it?"
A sophisticated lobbying effort, backed by such sponsors as Shell Oil and the makers of Tabasco, tried labeling the delta "America's Wetland" to drum up nationwide support. Finally, in July, the House passed a bill to provide $700-million to get started. It was awaiting Senate action when Katrina hit.
Now advocates argue that to protect New Orleans from the next hurricane, the $14-billion restoration should be part of the federal aid package Congress will pass to help storm recovery. And the old timeline for restoration - extending the work out 30 years - must shrink into a few years, they said.
"No one, the corps, the state, the oil and gas community, the environmental community, the parishes, treated this with sufficient urgency," said Scott Faber, a spokesman for the activist group Environmental Defense. "Now there's agreement that it is the most important component of protecting New Orleans from the next storm."
-- Times staff writer Robert Jenkins and researcher Angie Drobnic Holan contributed to this report, which contains information from Scientific American, the Times-Picayune and the Shreveport Times.
