Kamaishi, Japan (AFP) March 20, 2011
Isolated reports of looting by desperate tsunami survivors have emerged in Japan, whose people have been widely applauded for their discipline in the face of appalling adversity.
Other countries have noted with admiration, and some envy, the almost total absence of social disorder following the massive March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunami that has left nearly 20,000 people dead or missing.
In stark contrast to the chaos and violence that followed last year's quake in Haiti or Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005, the response to Japan's worst natural disaster since 1923 has been a showcase for the restraint and resilience of one of the world's most stable societies.
Despite chronic food and water shortages in the worst-affected areas, even abandoned vending machines went untouched, their edible contents still sitting behind their transparent fronts.
But now, more than a week after the tsunami hit, police say some incidents of looting and theft are being reported from battered and abandoned homes and stores.
The phenomenon is rare in Japan, a country where police crack down hard on petty crime and residents are rewarded with a finder's fee for returning lost or stolen items. Tales of misplaced wallets being returned are legendary.
"Since we have been so busy with the search and rescue operations and then the clean-up, it's hard for us to be aware of everyone who is looting," said Hironori Kodashima, vice-chief of police in the small, badly hit fishing port of Kamaishi in northeastern Iwate prefecture.
"We have just begun receiving reports about this and making arrests. But we are concerned about it and want it stopped," he said, citing the case of a man arrested as he was trying to prise open an ATM machine.
"Generally speaking, people are looting due to lack of food and money. Thieves break in and loot homes because they have been abandoned and nobody is living there any more," he said.
Others were less generous in their assessment, insisting that an increasing number of people were coming to the devastated northeast coast with a view to profiting from the chaos and destruction.
Masayuki Sasaki, 42, lost his mother to the tsunami that almost obliterated the town of Rikuzentakata, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) south of Kamaishi.
He and his widower father returned to the flattened remains of their home to try and salvage anything useful or personal.
But, Sasaki complained, survivors and rescuers were not the only ones hunting around.
"I can cope with living in the refugee centre and all that, but what I really can't stand is the thieves who come here," he said.
"They pretend to be helping, but they're looking for money, or maybe for bank books. I have lost everything and they come here looking for money. It's disgusting."
The vast majority of Japanese have remained calm and stoical, putting up with difficult conditions at evacuation shelters and waiting patiently in line for hours at gas stations and outside supermarkets running low on supplies.
And what theft has taken place has generally been low-level, including cases of people siphoning fuel out of abandoned vehicles.
Nevertheless, some people have still been appalled that any crimes have been committed at all at a time when people are trying to pull together -- and in a usually safe country where such behaviour is not common.
"Is it safe now? No, in fact you can't say it's safe," said Ayako Ito, 84, whose mountainside home overlooking Kamaishi was high enough to be spared the ravages of the tsunami.
"People who see the thieves scream 'Stop it, stop it!' It's best to not go far from your house because our belongings are inside," said Ito, who had only eaten one rice ball all day and said she was suffering from the cold at night with no power or electricity.
Masuya Misato, 33, a volunteer worker in Kamaishi, said he had witnessed several cases of smash-and-grab raids.
"They steal items from stores and cash from the destroyed houses. They also steal beer and cigarettes," Misato said.
"There are cars everywhere that were swept away by the tsunami, and since they have been abandoned, they steal gas," he added.
"It's shocking and I hope it stops soon."

Additional Information on this Artwork:
"Cupid sits to rest on the edge of a fountain with his arrows laid beside him. He is tenderly and carefully removing a butterfly from his arm, symbolizing the tenderness and care needed to keep relationships strong. The flowing water behind him might represent the flow of time and how each moment must be treasured, especially during one's childhood. Since Cupid is depicted as a child in this work, the painting is also making the statement that Mankind must nurture and take care with the wings of its children with tenderness, just as Cupid takes great care with the wings of this butterfly. Often ridiculed for his paintings of Cupid, Bouguereau's detractors fail to see the celebration of life and humanity which is the focus in so many of his works."
-- by Kara Ross
According to Damien Bartoli, Knoedler purchased this work directly from the artist June 2, 1888, during a visit to the artist's studio, even before it was finished and paid 15,000 francs.
This work is truly a celebration of childhood and beauty. Cupid takes great care not to damage the wings of his butterfly. Implicit to the 19th century audience was the quite progressive message for that day and age, that it's the duty of parents and society to nurture and care for the wings of our children so that they too may fly freely undamaged. It was the artists and writers of the day that carried the liberal message of righting the wrongs of prior eras, and codifying cultural advances like child labor laws and charity and welfare for the poor and downtrodden as seen in so many of the social realists of the day. Bouguereau took the positive side of that goal, and elevated the lowest of the low in society, the gypsies and peasants, to the heavens, painting them both real and ideal at the same time. So too was his similar goals with his mythological works like this cupid who is presented to us as a real but incredibly beautiful child.

Ever since I've been using vista build 5384 I've used an Nvidia n6200 256mb
agp card and it's been great Aero works perfectly with it
I also have an ATI 9700-pro I decided to try it out with windows vista
I have a dual boot system with windows Xp pro as my main OS, firstly I
booted to XP pro the card ran perfectly
Then I booted to windows vista the card also ran perfectly aero worked
straight away my performance rating went from 2 to 3 however after about 30
minutes the card started overheating and artifacting
So I booted back to Xp pro with it, without letting it cool down, and it was
back to normal again I played Doom3 with it, for 39 minutes without any
trouble at all.
But back in vista it artifacted again after about 30 minutes
Has anyone else had this issue?
Or is this simply because windows vista uses more resourses form the video
card than windows Xp ?

First Day of Spring!
Today we celebrate the first day of spring, but to our bushes and trees, spring came several weeks ago. We have a saucer magnolia tree next to our patio and it started blooming in February. Yes, this tree is supposed to bloom in the closing days of winter or beginning of spring, but in years past the blooms appear one day and are typically gone a few days later when the frost causes all the blossoms to drop from the tree.
With the mild weather this year, the blossoms have lingered for over three weeks. The aroma when opening the back door is unbelievable and as the blooms fall, making way for the leaves, we have a carpet of pink pedals covering the patio. To say this has been a spectacular year in our back yard is an understatement.
In addition our Camilla bush is in full bloom and the 300 daffodil bulbs I planted last fall are also in full bloom.
We will soon be putting in our garden and getting ready for Garden Day. Yes, we our home will be on tour for Historic Garden Day next month. Will keep you posted. We are expecting over 1600 people (based on last year's figures) to see our home on Garden Day. Obviously they will be here to look at the house, not the gardens, although we are making some progress on getting the yard in shape.
We would love to welcome you to The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast this spring or summer so that you too may enjoy our restful patio or wraparound front porch. Don't you deserve some time to relax?

This milk still retains a small amount of antiscorbutic vitamine.
Such, however, was not our experience in respect to the antiscorbutic vitamine.
It was formerly in high repute as a resolvent and antiscorbutic, and, particularly, as a remedy for intermittents.
Most of the other antiscorbutic and anti-venereal drops advertised by quacks have a like composition.
It is only when the monotonous diet does not contain an adequate quantity of antiscorbutic vitamine that it is to be feared.
Rob of Lemon and Orange is an antiscorbutic we were not without.

02.1Operations and Business Environment
Corporate Performance Measures, Objectives and Strategy
The Management Board operates the Company using various key financial ratios and follows its growth strategy GOAL 10, which Fresenius Medical Care has been pursuing since the spring of 2005.
In our view, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) is one of the most useful yardsticks for measuring the profitability of the Company. Consequently, we control the activities of our business segments based on their. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is another good indicator of Fresenius Medical Care's ability to achieve positive financial results.
Financing is in our opinion a central function on which the business segments have no control. Therefore, neither interest expenses resulting from financing activities nor tax expenses are included in the financial targets for the business segments.
Fresenius Medical Care evaluates its operating cash flow based on days sales outstanding (DSO). A high operating cash flow, for example, indicates that our customers are paying our invoices within a short period of time.
The debt / EBITDA ratio is another important criterion for assessing corporate performance. This ratio compares the Company's debt to our EBITDA and other non-cash charges. A low or decreasing debt /EBITDA ratio indicates that we are in a position to service debt or to increase EBITDA. Fresenius Medical Care is active in the dialysis industry and has a strong position in global, growing, and non-cyclical markets. The dialysis industry is characterized by stable cash flows, as most customers of the company have a high credit rating. As a result, high and sustained cash flows that can be reliable calculated are generated. They permit an appropriate share of debt capital, that is, the use of a comprehensive mix of liabilities.
Details on the development of these financial indicators as well as other financial figures can be found in the "Results of Operations, Financial Situation, Assets and Liabilities" section.
In addition, we gear our corporate management toward operational ratios such as the ROIC (return on invested capital) and the ROOA (return on operating assets). The ROIC rose from 7.4% in 2006 to 8.4% in 2007. The ROOA also grew in the same period from 11.3% to 12.5%. Further operating ratios can be found in the "5-Year Summary".
GOAL 10 is the name of Fresenius Medical Care's strategy for sustained growth until 2010. The strategy was put into place in the spring of 2005. GOAL 10 defines four paths that we intend to follow in order to boost our success across a broader spectrum of the global dialysis market and achieve our growth objectives. As the market leader, we aim to continue to grow more strongly than the dialysis industry as a whole.
The following paths should lead us to sustained growth:
PATH 1: ORGANIC GROWTH. In the coming years, we intend to achieve an annual organic revenue growth in dialysis care of 5% to 6%. To meet this goal, we are planning to open 70 to 80 dialysis clinics annually in the U.S. alone over the next three years. At the same time, we aim to boost our range of integrated, innovative treatment concepts such as UltraCare and Cardioprotective Hemodialysis and combine them with dialysis drugs, for example. In this way, we want to make our portfolio stand out against the competition and offer the best possible services. In addition, we plan to raise revenue by opening new dialysis clinics and further increasing the number of patients whose treatments are covered by private health insurance. Dialysis products will also make a substantial contribution to our organic revenue growth. Innovative, high-quality products such as the 5008 therapy system and cost-effective production will play a key role. Detailed information on our worldwide network of production sites can be found in the "Production" section.
PATH 2: ACQUISITIONS. To increase our future profitability and optimize our global and regional presence, we are continuing to broaden our network of dialysis clinics by means of attractive acquisitions. The acquisition of Renal Care Group in North America was a major step in this direction. We plan to expand our clinic network in particularly promising regions, although investments in future acquisitions in North America should be on a smaller scale.
Outside North America, too, we want to partake in the privatization process of healthcare systems and continue our above-average growth in Eastern Europe and Asia, for example. In future, the number of dialysis clinics in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa should increase from 362 today to more than 500 in 2010. Acquisitions should play a supportive role here. We plan to provide care for more than 40,000 dialysis patients in this business region by 2010, compared to some 27,000 patients in 2007.
PATH 3: HORIZONTAL EXPANSION. Dialysis drugs are the logical extension of our product portfolio, supplementing our dialysis services and products. Initially, we will focus on drugs that regulate the patients' mineral and blood levels, including phosphate binders, iron and vitamin D preparations, as well as calcimimetics. So far, we have mainly been involved in the area of phosphate binders and have integrated PhosLo into our product portfolio. As part of GOAL 10, we intend to tap further growth opportunities in other dialysis drug segments. A detailed report on our dialysis drugs activities can be found in the "Renal Pharmaceuticals" section.
PATH 4: HOME THERAPIES. A relatively small percentage (11%) of dialysis patients performs dialysis at home. Most patients (about 89%) receive their treatments in dialysis clinics.
Nevertheless, we aim to assume a more important global position in the home therapies market in the long-term, including peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis. To achieve this goal, we intend to combine our comprehensive and innovative product portfolio with our expertise in patient care. In addition, we acquired Renal Solutions, Inc. More information on this acquisition and on our activities in home dialysis can be found in the "Home Dialysis" section.
Our strategy encompasses concrete and measurable growth objectives. At the same time, it takes into account long-term trends that we forecast for the dialysis market. In addition to a growth in patient numbers, we expect the quality of dialysis services and available products to become more important in future. Thus, compensation for dialysis care could depend in part on certain quality criteria being achieved. More information on this can be found in the "Quality and Environmental Management" section.
Moreover, we are convinced that in future there will be a growing need for integrated care of kidney patients. As a result, our business in not only focusing on individual services and dialysis products, but we are also aiming to combine the different areas of application in the field of dialysis. For more details, see the "Disease Management" section.
On our Capital Market Day in September 2007, we confirmed and specified our GOAL 10 objectives. Overall, through these strategic measures - the horizontal expansion of our product portfolio through dialysis drugs, the further development of our home therapies, and organic growth - we expect to boost our revenue by 7% to 9% on average per year to about $ 11.5 billion in 2010. Net income should increase by over 10% a year.
Financial prudence will guide us along all four paths of GOAL 10 to enable us to service our debt and make investments. The operating cash flow should comprise at least 10% of revenue. A continued increase in earnings and improved management of our current assets should contribute to this development. Furthermore, we are striving for a tax rate of less than 38% by 2010. Expenditures for investments and acquisitions as part of ordinary operating activities should be in the range of 7% to 10% of revenue.

The best summary of the ills of the federal income tax I've seen was presented yesterday to Congress by Scott Hodge of the Tax Foundation. It has so much good stuff that it's hard to excerpt. Some highlights:
Over the past two decades, lawmakers have increasingly asked the tax code to direct all manner of social and economic objectives, such as encouraging people to buy hybrid vehicles, turn corn into gasoline, save more for retirement, purchase health insurance, buy a home, replace the home's windows, adopt children, put them in daycare, take care of Grandma, buy bonds, spend more on research, purchase school supplies, go to college, invest in historic buildings, and the list goes on.
The U.S. tax system is in desperate need of simplification and reform. The relentless growth of credits and deductions over the past 20 years has made the IRS a super-agency, engaged in policies as unrelated as delivering welfare benefits to subsidizing the manufacture of energy efficient refrigerators. I would argue that were we starting from scratch, these would not be the functions we would want a tax collection agency to perform.
The development of the IRS into a cross-functional superagency is a terribly underreported story (except here, of course).
Second, as a consequence of trying to use the tax code to help the "middle-class," we have knocked millions of people off the tax rolls, turned the IRS into an extension of the welfare state, and created a growing class of people who are disconnected from the basic cost of government.
It's not good when 51% can vote to tax the other 49%.
Lastly, while some people would like to make the tax code more progressive, the fact is that the U.S. already has the most progressive income tax system of any industrialized country. The top 1 percent of taxpayers pays a greater share of the tax burden than the bottom 90 percent combined. Moreover, the nation's tax and spending policies currently combine to redistribute more than $826 billion annually from the top 40 percent of families to the bottom 60 percent. We should have an honest discussion over how much redistribution is considered fair.
If you don't want to read the whole thing, it's worth visiting just for the pictures. First, how people are becoming disconnected from the cost of government:
Sure, spend more, the rich guy is buying anyway:
Ah, you say, those charts don't take into account payroll taxes, which are regressive! They don't take into account government benefits either. This one does:
This means the bottom 10% of taxpayers receive more than ten times as much in benefits as they pay; the entire bottom 50% of taxpayers receives more in benefits than it pays. And if you are tempted to say "but what about payroll taxes?", this chart counts all federal taxes, not just the income tax.

The Ukrainian, who dismantled British challenger Danny Williams in December, told his website a fight with Rahman was 90% likely to happen.
And 7 May is being put forward as a tentative date for the bout at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
Rahman, 32, is best known for his shock 2001 defeat of Lennox Lewis, a loss that the Briton subsequently avenged.
Rahman has won his last five contests to improve his record to 40-5 with one draw and 33 knockouts.
He is rated as top challenger to each of the four major heavyweight belts and his tilt at Klitschko's title could be the start of a round-robin aimed at unifying the division.

Martina <firstname.lastname@example.com> experiences a Stata shut down
when using -mi estimate, cmdok- with the user-written command -xtabond2-:

David Roodman, the author of -xtabond2-, contacted us some time ago describing
a similar problem. The problem that David experienced was caused by
-xtabond2- posting Mata matrices of zero column length to Stata when
-xtabond2-'s option -ivstyle()- was used. Stata does not support matrices of
zero length (except in Mata) and thus did not handle reading such a matrix
properly which caused a crash. We made some internal changes to address this
If Martina is running into the same problem as reported by David, she can
resolve this by obtaining the latest update. Martina should type
. update all
in Stata and follow the instructions. If the problem persists, I'd be happy
to look into Martina's problem further in private and will report back to the
list with my findings.

HP announced today its Slate 500 tablet had finally hit the market, for $799.
HP had intended to release the tablet as a consumer device, but redesigned it as a prosumer/business-user edition after it acquired Palm in April and decided to release a separate unit running the Palm WebOS for consumers.
The 1.5-pound tab runs Windows 7 Professional, supports multitouch and pen input, VPN connections, has a 3-megapixel camera in back and VGA camera in front for videoconferencing, runs on an Intel Atom z540 at 1.68 GHz adn 64GB of solid-state memory
Apple's iPad runs a 1GHz Apple A4 custom chip, ships with up to 64 GB of SS memory, but requires an add-on camera .
Slate is one of the first iPad competitors to ship from a major vendor. Cisco and Lenovo have tabs in the works; Samsung has already shipped a seven-inch unit running Google's Android, which is currently the leading iPad alternative available.


text: As you can see in the press release issued earlier today Hansen Medical had a strong third quarter as we continued to drive momentum in our EP business, enhance our commercial organization and achieve important milestones with our Magellan system. As we have discussed before flexible robotics for vascular applications is a key driver to the growth of Hansen Medical going forward we are focused on launching for vascular platform.With that in, we are pleased to have now secured CE part for the Magellan Robotic System the NorthStar Robotic Catheter and related accessories. Clearly highlighting the progress we've made towards bringing a robotic platform for vascular applications to market. Our initial launch in Europe is well underway. I'm also pleased to announce the first commercial installation of our Magellan Robotic System at St. Mary's Hospital in London. The Magellan system accesses peripheral vessels with a proprietary technology that delivers independent distal tip control of a catheter and a sheath, as well as robotic manipulation of a standard guidewire from a centralized, remote workstation. This system has the potential to transform the way endovascular procedures are performed for patients with Peripheral Vascular Disease. The system was designed to assist physicians to effectively and efficiently treat a variety of peripheral diseases, while reducing procedure time, lessening radiation exposure and enabling new procedures. With this installation we will now receive a $3 million from Philips for the final milestone of our joined development agreement. St. Mary's is pioneer in the use of flexible robotics in vascular interventions and this is a tremendous opportunity to generate physician experience in order to raise the profile of the Magellan System in advance on a full scale of commercial launch. Several of St. Mary's physicians and their staff have completed our extensive training program on the system and we expect the first clinical cases will be performed in the coming weeks. We remain very excited about the opportunity in front of us in the vascular market. We spoke with several leading clinicians about the Magellan system many of whom have driven the robot and have expressed strong interest in acquiring one for their hospitals. Our targeted launch is well underway with our European commercial team and many of these positive clinical discussions have transitioned to conversations with hospital administration regarding the potential purchase of a system.

'Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths' DVD Is Off the Chain
Note to our readers: While we're going to try to keep things vague, this article will contain spoilers for the new Justice League movie. Proceed at your own risk!
This week saw the release of DC's latest direct-to-DVD animated movie, "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths," and I'll admit that I was a little skeptical going in. I've only seen a couple of the DC Universe movies, and while "Wonder Woman" was pretty enjoyable, "New Frontier" — which, like "Crisis," was based on a comic book story I loved–was a little disappointing. Add to that the fact that we've already seen animated takes on DC's classic Evil Parallel Universe formula before–first in "Justice League Unlimited's" watered-down but enjoyable "Justice Lords" episode and more recently in a "Brave and the Bold" that saw Batman teaming up with a heroic Red Hood–and I just wasn't sure how well this one was going to hold up.
After sitting down and watching it, I came away with one conclusion:
This movie is off the chain.Using Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's "JLA: Earth 2″ as a springboard, "Crisis" is essentially an extra-long, extra-awesome "lost" episode of "Justice League Unlimited." That shouldn't really come as much of a surprise, as writer Dwayne McDuffie was writer, producer, or story editor for the vast majority of "JLU" episodes, having a hand in 69 of the 91 episodes produced. Specifically, with its focus on the Justice League's construction of the Watchtower and an ending that sees them expanding their roster to include heroes like Aquaman, Red Tornado and Firestorm, this is the story that bridges the gap between "Justice League" and "JLU." And like "JLU," it excels at dropping in fun references to the larger DC Universe.
Yes, getting to see second and third-string characters in motion really just amounts to set dressing, but when you get right down to it, the entire reason that parallel worlds in comic books exist at all is to see different versions of the characters you already know. It's just really cool to see a hero fight an "evil twin" version of a hero, and that's something that McDuffie and directors Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery just run wild with.
The perfect example is the first big fight, which is not just a textbook example of how to do animated super-hero team battles, but also drops eye candy like you wouldn't believe. Fifteen minutes into the movie, and the Justice League has gone to the Crime Syndicate's Earth, and the very first thing they do is fight an evil version of the Outisiders and Justice League Detroit, including an evil version of Black Lightning that looks like his own '70s costume mashed up with Luke Cage:
And that, my friends, is fantastic.
And it's just the start: There is a lot of fighting in "Crisis on Two Earths," and by the nature of the story, it's peppered with cameos from everyone from… well, from the Outsiders to Justice League Detroit. That's about as obscure as you can get and still call it a Justice League movie. I think it's fair to say that the fights are the focus–again, that's sort of the entire point–and they're beautifully done, especially as Wonder Woman just straight up uses pro wrestling moves to suplex her way through the Crime Syndicate.
As such, it lacks some of the sophisticated storytelling of "Earth 2″ — SPOILER WARNING: The good guys win instead of finding out that the nature of their fictional universe is such that good always wins, meaning that their counterparts are in a universe where evil always wins and even acts of good are twisted around — but even that gets a pass. It is, after all, far more in tune with "JLU," and when you don't actually call your movie "JLA: Earth 2," you can get away with a little more than if it was meant to be a straight adaptation.
One of the things it does preserve from Morrison and Quitely's version, though, is its portrayal of the Martian Manhunter.
Morrison's "JLA" was one of the few books that treated Martian Manhunter like what he was, which was a guy with all of Superman's powers plus he can turn invisible, shapeshift and read your mind. In other words, he's a total badass, and while "Crisis" lacks the incredible, crushing defeat he dished out to Ultraman in "Earth 2," he's very much in the spotlight here, in terms of both fighting and character development.
As to the voices, the fact that it watches so much like "Justice League Unlimited" (albeit with different designs) means that the different actors feel a little off through no part of their own. William Baldwin's Batman, for example, felt quite a bit off, but after the past 18 years of the animated DC Universe, any Batman voice that's not Kevin Conroy feels off. The other voices, though, are pretty enjoyable: Brian Bloom's mafioso-inspired gangster movie Ultraman is a few shades over the top, but Mark Harmon's farmboy twang makes for an interesting take on Superman, James Woods is pure fun as the nihilistic Owlman, and Gina Torres' sultry, sociopathic Superwoman is downright perfect.
Which isn't to say that the movie is without its flaws. Even if you're willing to look past the emphasis on big, pretty fights (which I am, as they're great fun and don't particularly come at the expense of the equally fun plot), there's a pretty big misstep in something that ought to be second nature to the people who write the DCU movies. Namely, Batman, who makes a couple of choices at the end of the movie that are best described as morally dubious.
One of them is explained away very easily, but the other essentially comes down to Batman not really caring if someone dies as a direct result of his actions. The best case here is that he was willing to sacrifice one person to save the entirety of reality, but the fact that he lies about it rather than letting everyone know the score from the start means that instead of a character making a heroic sacrifice, Batman's essentially killing someone to achieve his goals. That is Capital-W Wrong, and if the rationale here is that it's a fitting punishment for one of the decidedly evil Crime Syndicate members, that's just not how Batman works.
This is a problem that shows up in a lot of adaptations, despite the fact that "Batman doesn't kill and values all life" seems like it would be the easiest thing for writers to grasp, and the fact that McDuffie — a veteran comics writer who gets everything else so right — would make that mistake in such a complete and irreparable way is both surprising and genuinely bothersome.
It's enough to completely break the movie, but fortunately for "Crisis," it's surrounded by a lot of other stuff that's well worth seeing, and balances out to being an incredibly enjoyable movie with five minutes that you have to completely ignore. After all, every time I start to get mad over the stuff with Batman, I just think about the evil version of Vibe pop-n-locking into a hadouken, and everything just seems a little better.

What do you love about your job?
I have always enjoyed working with my hands. It just feels so natural when building or remodeling for a customer. I have been self-employed nearly all my life. Most of it was spent in the excavating industry. I always look forward to meeting new customers for the first time and really get excited from seeing their ideas or thoughts brought to life or to completion. Some of them have even turned out to be good friends after the work was done.
What or who inspired you to start your own business?
Being self-employed, going into remodeling and carpentry was the next logical step for me. I listen to what the customers are telling me, and I can usually visualize just exactly what it is that they are needing done. It may not always work out the way we planned for it to, but we try to do professional work all the time at a very reasonable rate for them.

shakeitmabel's recommendation
I carry my lunch to work in this cute tote. I work 12 hour days and just adding a reusable cold pack keeps my lunch all day.
jooxi's recommendation
The perfect way to brown bag in style. Besides the savings and health benefits making your own lunch brings, you also get to carry around a cool looking tote. Win-win. BUILT NY makes these things (as they do all things, actually) out of Neoprene (naturally Lead free), a pretty good insulator. They work excellently for keeping food hot (if you've ever worn a wetsuit outside on a hot day, you'll understand) for up to 4 hours (or more, depending on the temperature outside). They also do a pretty good job of keeping cold stuff cold, but throw in a simple freezer-pak and you've got all-day temperature control. The 'Gourmet Getaway' is BUILT's large size, and their most popular. They can hold a nice sandwich, 2 small bottled drinks, some cut up veggies - just as an example. The greatest feature is their construction - since they're made from stretchy neoprene, they fold flat when not in use, and can expand mightily to accommodate viking-like feasts. The interior is khaki colored for good contrast, and everything seals shut with a durable zipper. If you spill stuff, you can give it a cold machine wash to get that fresh neoprene smell back (I know, I'm weird). Highly recommended for the urban human.
darlakbrown's recommendation
These lunch totes are made of neoprene - same stuff surfers wear - and keep food cold for many hours. Just $24.95 at wrapables.com
sando0826's recommendation
great for people working that want to save a buck and eat healthy while helping the environment not using a paper bag. I love the style - so slim and easy to carry.

Will depression end when therapy is over?
- Question from Candy: How long does depression tend to last when it's brought on by medication? I keep thinking my depression will end once my therapy concludes.
- Answers - Diane Thompson We do know that women who are undergoing chemotherapy are more likely to have symptoms of depression, and these do tend to improve after chemotherapy is over. However, there is no specific timeline. Some women feel much better within several months of completing treatment, while others complain of a "foggy brain" for much longer. Regardless, if you're experiencing symptoms of depression during or after treatment, please discuss it with your physician, since this may be a good time to start some type of treatment.
- Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. In thinking back on their lives, some women have told me that they think they were actually depressed for years even before their breast cancer diagnosis. Sometimes a breast cancer diagnosis is a window of opportunity that can enable a person to get appropriate treatment for a chronic condition. Look at this as an opportunity for help if this description fits.
Rosalind Kleban, L.C.S.W.
I have seen women in dealing with breast cancer being able to acknowledge their depression, take antidepressant medication, and tell me they actually feel better than they have for years prior to the breast cancer diagnosis. I think these are people who have suffered from dysthymic conditions, and it took the crisis of breast cancer to encourage these people to ask for help. I would also like to add that I commonly see patients continue to have feelings of sadness, fear, and vulnerability, often up to a year after treatment is over.
It's very much like mourning, in that the response is similar to that of loss. Having a cancer diagnosis represents many losses. There's a loss of invincibility, loss of trust in your body, for many women a loss of a body part, and gradually over a period of time, often as much as a year, people in a gradual way start to get back to themselves and get back to their normal lives.
- Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. Women who are finishing treatment often expect to feel happy and joyous. When they don't, because it takes a while, that disconnect between what they expect and how they actually feel sometimes makes depressive feelings even stronger.
- Rosalind Kleban, L.C.S.W. It's helpful to warn patients that anxiety often increases when treatment is over. It's actually a rare patient who is ready to celebrate upon the completion of chemotherapy.
- Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. I wholeheartedly agree!
- Diane Thompson Often after patients are done with chemotherapy, they tell me they felt more secure while they were getting treatment because they felt so awful they were sure the chemotherapy was doing something. When it ends, they may feel helpless. It's at this point that I urge people to enter the next stage, which is the stage of wellness and recovery from treatment. This is where choosing an appropriate diet and exercise can be good activities for the patient to focus on.
- Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. I make the distinction for patients that at this point the cure may have happened, but the healing may just be starting. What we're all trying to say is that you're on schedule, but if you believe your depressed feelings are lasting too long, don't hesitate to say something to your doctor.
- Rosalind Kleban, L.C.S.W. This is also a good time to look for a post-treatment support group. Often friends and family don't understand the feelings patients may have, and think the patient should only feel celebratory since treatment is over. However, other patients certainly understand the feelings of fear, anxiety, and even abandonment by the medical community that are so common at this time.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Overcoming Depression featured Rosalind Kleban, M.S.W., Diane S. Thompson, M.D., and Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. answering your questions about medication and lifestyle changes that can ease depression along with to put hope, fun, and pleasure back into your life during and after breast cancer treatment.

Western Comfort and Eastern Illness: Malaysia and Singapore
To bobble-head elephants with their trunks held in the air were dancing on the dashboard of a cramped mini van. I was sharing the backseat with a couple of giant Swedes, one of whom was falling asleep on my shoulder. Sigur Ros was blaring through my headphones while I ignored the uncomfortable situation by contemplating life on the road.
This was how I crossed the border into Malaysia. After 14 hours packed into the back of a series of four overbooked minibuses I was tired and cranky but looking forward to a few weeks in a country I knew very little about. All I had been told about Malaysia was that it was modern and a bit more expensive than other SE Asian countries. I had a lot to learn.
I arrived in Georgetown on the Island of Penang after sunset and checked into my Japanese themed hostel, a place called Ryokan which boasted that it was not a backpacker hostel but a 'flashpacker' hostel. I didn't understand the term so I asked the desk clerk to explain. He informed me that a flashpacker was a quasi-backpacker who pays a little more to stay in nicer hotels and hostels, eat fancy meals and carries a good pair of shoes to get into the chic clubs. I can't say I fully agreed with or understood the phrase. Nonetheless, I came away from the conversation with the conviction that I am definitely not a flashpacker...
As soon as I dropped my bags I set out to sample some of Penang's famous street food. It was late but the Georgetown vendors serve up tasty snacks late into the night. As I went from vendor to vendor I was surprised by the cultural mish mash of cuisine. There were several types of Chinese, Indian, Muslim, indonesian and western foods. The vendors competed for business often telling customers (in perfect English) to avoid certain ethnic groups who were known for cheating tourists. The chinese told us to avoid the Indian vendors. The Indian vendors told us to avoid the malays and so on. Occasionally one vendor would verbally berate another for stealing his business and little spats were common. After spending a little time in the country, I came to understand how this little vendor market could easily be understood as a microcosm of the social situation in the Malaysia. The country is home to several distinct cultures who quite clearly do not always live in harmony.
I perused the bewildering selection of quicks eats and eventually I decided on some hokkien noodles. As I was looking for a place to sit I was called over to a table by a couple of guys who recognized me from the hostel. One was a funny British police man named Rob in his mid thirties who had quit his job and rented out his house to travel former British colonies. The other was a younger Turkish engineer named Murat who was four months into a world tour. Murat was the first Turkish backpacker I had ever met. We enjoyed some fantastic food and a beer each while comparing some road stories.
The next day we all met in the hostel lobby, took a bus up to Penang hill for a view of the island and walked around the city. Parts of Georgetown felt like some of the old city centers in China with old broken down colonial style buildings adorned with red lanterns and Chinese signs. Other areas felt very western sporting large shopping malls filled with brand name clothing, fast food and electronics.
That night we caught a few beers at one of the many reggae bars in town. Local bar owners in southeast Asia have come to realize that to attract young tourists all you need to do is play Bob Marley's 'Legend' on repeat, sell cheap beer and hang a red, green and yellow banner out front the bar. A sure formula. Thus, the spread of reggae bars throughout the region is endemic. Not that I am complaining. I, like most people, enjoy the reggae vibe and this particular bar was a good travelers meeting place.
The following morning I slept in and missed a bus for the first time since I arrived in Asia. Luckily, I booked through a travel agent who was able to put me on another one heading to Cameron highlands later that morning free of charge. Penang had been sweltering but as the bus climbed up into highlands the temperature dropped significantly offering a nice relief from the typical heat. I shared the minibus with one other traveller, a friendly Dutch girl in her mid twenties named Stefanie. We chatted about backpacking for a while then decided to tour the highlands together for a couple days.
We arrived in Tanah Rata in the evening and, after booking into a ten bed dorm, found some Indian food. We then hit the convenience store for some ice cream, a deck of cards and a small bottle of cheap vodka; three objects that characterized the rest of my nights in Tanah Rata. During the day, Stefanie and I tried hiking to a tea plantation before realizing that what we thought was a trail on the map was actually a highway. We caught the bus instead to one of the famous Boh plantations a few kilometers away. It was more impressive than I expected. A misty valley of super green hills covered in a patchwork of tea bushes. After enjoying a cup of the jasmine green tea we made our way back to town for some more Indian food, cards and vodka. I didn't get a great night sleep due to a group of loud swedes who were up all night partying on the patio so I was pretty tired when I caught my bus the next morning to Kuala Lumpur. I was also a little light headed but I figured it was just from the vodka the night before. The morning bus ride was full of beautiful scenery as we made our way through the misty rainforested hills of the highlands and eventually landed in Kuala Lumpur mid afternoon.
KL city center was very modern with large fancy brand name shopping malls on every corner and eight lane highways dissecting the impressive skyline.
I took an hour to walk around the china town before I jumped on the skytrain to Petaling Jaya outside of KL to meet my couchsurfing host. In case you have not heard of it before, couchsurfing is a online community of travelers and hosts. If you create a profile, you can apply to hosts in a surprising number of cities around the world for a place to stay and/or a friend to hang out with. Since hosts are travelers too, they are usually sympathetic to your cause and interested in meeting like minded people. It's a well established and ingenious service.
My host was a very thoughtful and kind freelance writer named Catherine. Her and her roommate Kevin, a popular DJ on one of Malaysia's most listened too English radio stations, were very welcoming and lots of fun. As soon as I arrived at their suburban flat, Catherine and I began chatting and she told me some interesting things about Malaysia. She described Malaysia's three main ethnic groups: the muslim Malays, the Chinese Malaysians and the Indian Malaysians. From her perspective, the country was dominated by the muslim malays who held political power and instituted laws which granted Malays special treatment. She said that Chinese Malaysians must pay more for government services and have a difficult time gaining positions of power within the government. She went as far as to say a system of apartheid is present in the country where the Muslim majority oppress other ethnic groups.
Since I knew so little about malaysia, I found this all very interesting, but unfortunately, mid-conversation I was hit with a horrible headache which forced me to lie down. I thought it was just from lack of sleep so I took a couple painkillers and napped for an hour. When I awoke I felt better so Catherine and Kevin treated me to some excellent street hawker food. Soon after finishing the meal, however, my headache returned with full force and I felt unusually fatigued. I figured I still needed to catch up on sleep and just went to bed. In the middle of the night I woke up in a cold sweat with a fever, a splitting headache and a bad stomach ache. I took some more pills and managed to sleep a bit but the next morning I awoke early with muscle pain in almost every part of my body. I soon realized that I had caught some kind of virus and hoped it was just a bad flu that would resolve itself with rest.
But in the days that followed my symptoms only worsened. They would come in waves. Sometimes I would feel a bit better and decide to join Catherine or Kevin on a small trip to the mall or to a movie. But once there I would be hit with another wave of symptoms which would force me to catch a cab home. I started running a high fever and was waking up at night in copious amounts of sweat. Even in the sweltering heat of KL I was getting chills and I could not eat without feeling nauseas. One time I collapsed in a restaurant and vomited all over the floor after only one sip of soup.
I finally allowed myself to consider the possibility that this was more serious than a nasty flu and made a trip to a clinic. The doctor advised me to take a course of antibiotics to determine if it was an infection. I don't like taking antibiotics so I declined the drugs and decided to move into a hotel room to wait out the symptoms and find a second opinion.
I had been communicating with my mom about the illness so she put me up in a fancy downtown hotel and convinced me to get a blood test for tropical diseases. When I went to the hospital the doctor put me on an IV to replace lost fluids and told me to wait one hour to get the results. When he returned one hour later, he carried with him a sheet of paper which confirmed that I had dengue fever. I was astonished, both because I didn't think my symptoms were bad enough for dengue and because I couldn't believe my bad luck. I guess I had been careful with mosquitos in rural areas where malaria is more common but more careless in urban areas where I thought I was safer. Little did I know that urban areas are actually where dengue mosquitos dwell.
The doctor offered me a bed but I declined saying that I had hotel nearby. As I exited the hospital I was very surprised by the $150 bill I was given for a simple blood test and IV drip.
The doctor ordered me to return the next day for another platelet count but, after almost a week since it began, I could already tell I was through the worst of the sickness. A couple more tests, a few of days of sleeping and watching movies in the hotel and the symptoms eventually subsided. I was only left with a tiredness that lingered for another week or so.
When I felt strong enough to move on I checked out of my cushy room, threw my bag over my shoulder (it felt quite a bit heavier than usual) and headed to the bus station to continue the journey. Next stop, Singapore.
The five hour bus to Singapore was ridiculously comfortable. The sparse group of people on board each had a small TV and a seat which folded down almost completely into a bed. Definitely the nicest bus I had ever been on. When I arrived at the Singapore border I made my way through a slow moving line at immigration. But when I made it to the other side I could not find my bus. It had disappeared. I asked a local worker who informed me that the buses only wait 20 minutes before leaving for the city. I thought this was pretty ridiculous as 20 minutes is barely enough time to make it through immigration even if there is no wait time. The worst part was that I had no Singapore dollars to take the public bus and their was no ATM or exchange at the border. I was stuck. I just started asking random bus drivers if they could give me a ride into the city center but to no avail. Eventually a local woman saw I was in trouble and offered to give me a ride to a place where I could change some money. She was with a group of British students who were doing some type of internship in Singapore so I jumped in their van and got a ride to a mall where I was able to get some cash and take the subway to my couchsurfing host's apartment.
In KL I had organized a CS host more for the experience but in Singapore I simply did not want to spend $35 for a hostel bed. My host was a Philippino IT specialist named Wendy who worked from her 19th floor apartment just outside the city center. The apartment complex was really nice with a couple large swimming pools. She shared with four others so the flat was a little dirty but still comfortable. When I arrived late in the evening she told me the spare mattress was dirty and I would just be sleeping in her bed. I thought it a bit odd but I didn't really care. Then she invited me to go clubbing with her and her friends. I was still recovering from the dengue, however, and thought I night out in the clubs was not a good idea so I just made myself comfortable and stayed in. She had a large flat screen TV with satellite so I watched a couple Hollywood flicks before falling asleep. I awoke in the morning to find that she had never come home. Around 9AM she rumbled in wearing the same clothes she had left in the night before and cursing about how she was late for work. I just got dressed and left to go explore the city.
Singapore is a bit of an enigma in southeast Asia. The streets are cleaner than anywhere on the planet, everything from the public transit to the queues run smoothly, the skyline is sleek and the population is bizarre mix of uber westernized Chinese descendants. Unfortunately, the city also seems to lack a strong culture and at times feels somewhat artificial. Even the china town and little india were just too clean and disneylandish to feel real.
Since I was in the city during Chinese new year the streets were empty and many businesses were closed. I just walked through the beautiful modern buildings and snapped a few pictures of the skyline from the harbor. With the city's outrageous prices, looking at the skyline was about all I could afford to do but I nonetheless found it to be quite impressive. None of the buildings are particularly large but they are well designed and all work well together. From the marina it looks as though someone designed the entire skyline at once.
On Chinese new year's eve my host took me to a party at a Nigerian man named Ola's home. The party was boring but the Ola was a great cook and served up some tasty snack food. The next day my host went to visit relatives and I stayed in the room watching movies until it was time to catch my flight. After watching both Kung Fu Panda movies I made my way to Singapore's ultra modern airport, ate some fast food and caught my flight to Borneo. My Malaysian peninsula experience was complete.
Even though mainlaind Malaysia and Singapore were some of the most modern and comfortable places I have travelled, my couple weeks there ended up being quite a challenge. I was allowed many western comforts I had not experienced since being back in Canada but had to deal with a tough eastern illness. It was a rough week.
With the dengue aside, however, I found the social situation on the peninsula to be quite interesting. A mix of distinct cultures was apparent throughout the region but the cultures did not always mix harmoniously. There was clearly some age old tensions which have yet to be resolved.
Everyone spoke english well and enjoyed western niceties yet many seemed to cling strongly to their cultural heritage. The large modern shopping centers were outfitted with places of worship, even many McDonalds had a halal menu and the air-conditioned pizza huts were full of woman in hijabs. It's a confusing place at times and, perhaps due to the overwhelming western influence, not one of my top destinations but I am glad I visited and would likely return if given the chance.

Petition calls for changes to B.C. liquor laws for music venues
Live-music proponents have launched a petition aimed at bringing changes to B.C.'s liquor laws.
With the provincial election a month away, the Safe Amplification Site Society is hoping candidates will take notice of the group's demands.
"Our liquor laws are ageist, stifling, and dysfunctional," the petition reads. "In particular, they make it very difficult for music venues to admit people under the age of 19 - a demographic that includes about 20% of British Columbians."
In a petition that has gained over 800 signatures since being launched last week, the society is calling for three changes to be made to provincial liquor laws.
Ryan McCormick, a director with Safe Amp, said the group wants to see a new liquor licence created that permits minors on the premises of live-music venues while alcohol is served to those aged 19 and older.
"I think that society has evolved to the point where we can handle having minors in the same room as drinking adults, and it happens anyway at all those types of venues, like theatres, stadiums, restaurants, and our point is why shouldn't it happen at concerts as well?" McCormick told the Straight by phone.
The other demands are for B.C. to overhaul its special-occasion licences to base the categories of licences on audience size rather than public or private events, and to repeal a policy directive issued in January that disallowed liquor-primary venues from temporarily de-licensing to host an all-ages event.
"These aren't new problems," McCormick noted. "This has been a problem in B.C. for years. Other places have found ways to allow minors in the same venue as drinking adults....We decided to bring it up in the run-up to the election, hoping that candidates will chime in on the issue and will take a stand one way or the other, and then we can tell our community what the candidates are saying, and then hopefully that will inform people's voting decisions too so they know which parties have their interests at hand."
The Safe Amplification Site Society is a non-profit group that is dedicated to establishing a permanent all-ages space for music and other arts events in Vancouver.
McCormick noted the group also hopes to ask questions at all-candidates meetings, and has been in contact with all four major political parties to seek their positions on changing B.C.'s liquor laws.
"I think people just feel like enough is enough, and hopefully the election can be an opportunity to ask for some changes," he said.

text: This show was spot on. I was dying of laughter from start to finish, as was everyone else in the audience. Andrew Goffman is brilliant! He has a wonderful personality that really shows through while he's on that stage. His audience interaction is awesome, I don't know how he is so quick with his commentary back and forth with us. If you have an open mind, and a good sense of humor you'll want to see this show. I actually plan on going back a second time. You won't regret it.
