Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello there, I am sorry I have been off line for a while. It takes 2 years for your seratonin and dopamine levels to return to normal. There things you can do to increase seratonin naturally. One is exercise. I know is hard and that you don't feel like working out because your low seratonin levels make you depressed but working out daily will really help. Other things that raise seratonin is doing things you enjoy like talking to friends, eating a nice meal, music. I tell most of my clients in recovery that recovery has to be fun. This is a good time to find out things that you like to do. I suggest to take a class on something you always enjoyed such as art, music, anything your are interested in. That will help you so much. I also suggest that you find a support group. You can try depression support group or a recovery group.
Good nutrition will also help you. The golden goal for recovery is to not be to tired too angry too lonely or too hungry. Things will get better every day and after 6 months you will feel much happier. I also suggest that you find a therapist who treats depression and addiction to help you heal. Try to be around possitive people also. Now is time to call friends and relatives and ask for support.
I will opt out so a psychiatrist can tell you more about the chemistry of addiction. As a therapist I can only tell you that seeing a doctor to get help with your exreem withdrawal will help and you will feel better. Maybe you mother needs to take care of your 2 year old. Go to the emergency room they know how to help you with opoid withdrawal symptoms
What happens is you brain does not produce seratonin because the drugs gave you those. Here is how increase seratonin
MAXIMIZING NERVE CONDUCTION. or How to Increase Electrical Conductivity WITHIN Neurons.The portion of your body that is re-learning its own equilibrium WITHOUT OPIATES is essentially an aquatic salt-water ecosystem that runs almost entirely off electrolytes (+ and - particles called "ions" dissolved in solution) and VERY THIN membranes. These membranes are "semi-permeable" which means that with some assistance from various proteins, these membranes allow your body to separate and partition off positively-charged & negatively-charged ions. This creates VOLTAGE--the difference in charges across a membrane or "potential energy."You can imagine the separated + and - ions as being like a battery. As long as the membranes are intact and your body is able to separate positives from negatives, then your batteries are "charged." But, if you punch a hole in one of the membranes or stop actively separating out positives from negatives, you end up with a lifeless or DEAD battery. ions fromAnytime you 'fire' off a neuron, an "ON" signal is propagated from somewhere deep inside the brain, along a LOOOONG axon, that ends by terminating into either another neuron (inside the brain) or somewhere else outside the brain (like a muscle or a salivary gland, for example).If you were to tell yourself, "I am now Lifting my right fore-finger," then a neuron in your brain's motor cortex will first "fire" using a neurotransmitter. But the signal actually travels all the way down on a single neuron from the brain to your right arm. All the way down a discrete "wire" found in a bundle of other wires (your spinal cord) until the single nerve cell finally ends on muscles in your forearm where ANOTHER neurotransmitter is released, cause you to LIFT YOUR RIGHT FOREFINGER.Why the description? well, the FIRST step involved in this example involves a neurotransmitter. In this case, the neurotransmitter is called acetyl-choline... but there are plenty of other neurotransmitters whose functions are to transmit various ideas, emotions, reactions, reflexes, memories, etc.The SPECIFIC neurotransmitter you're missing is ENDORPHIN. Earlier in this post, I listed suggestions to help you SHOWER your brain with endorphin--and these will make you feel much better. If you can assimilate some or all of these activities into your daily routine, then you'll not only be back to normal very soon, BUT (swear to GOD) you'll actually FEEL MUCH BETTER THAN YOU DID ON OPIATES!!!The reason I went thru the whole explanation of the + and - ions, the function of cell membranes to partition off these charged particles, and how that nerves & thus your entire brain FUNCTIONS by using a continuous flow of ions in and out of various partitions is because I want you to really REALLY UNDERSTAND something about how our bodies work.You see, all this fine detail about nerve transmission can ONLY take place under ONE condition. And this is one of the most convincing arguments for evolution that I've ever heard... The ONLY PERFECT ENVIRONMENT for the proper flow of electricity and nerve conduction is found---IN THE OCEAN!Fortunately, our body's have a "waxy coat" of skin that traps the ocean INSIDE US!So, whenever you hear someone say "SALT IS BAD FOR YOU", you can tell them they would be DEAD if it weren't for the salt they eat!Without getting too involved in this, just know that your body has exquisite mechanisms for hanging onto precious minerals and filtering out 'excess' ions. This is mostly done by the kidneys. HOWEVER, your body has NO WAY of either DILUTING or CREATING electrolytes. (i.e. sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, & trace minerals)So, HOW CAN YOU ASSIST YOUR BODY IN ACHIEVING THIS OPTIMUM AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT???Simple. Drink plenty of water. Plain water. Not colas, not coffee, not beer. Your body will utilize pure water to form the MOST PERFECT, EXACT ion levels in the various partitioned areas. Unlike what many people believe, drinking extra water does NOT go straight into your piss!! Rather, the water goes from your GI tract, into your bloodstream where it is then dispersed EVENLY throughout every single cell in your body!That's right...when you drink a glass of pure water, that water becomes almost instantly available to EACH AND EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY, in order beginning with those cells which NEED WATER THE MOST! So, those cells which urgently need this pure water will get 'first dibs', and so on until the water has been evenly dispersed.What do the cells DO WITH this pure water??

A touching, surprising, controversial and original family memoir, from the unique mind of well-known comedy figure Paul Livingston - aka Flacco.
Absent Without Leave follows three wide-eyed young Australian men from their enlistment at the Sydney Showground in 1940 to the war in the Middle East and jungle warfare in the Asia-Pacific. Private Stanley Livingston and his two best mates, Roy Lonsdale and Gordon Oxman, would be brothers-in-law as well as brothers in arms by the end of the war, as Stanley would marry Roy's sister Evelyn, while Gordon would marry Lilly Livingston, Stanley's younger sister.
In this case the term absent without leave has no negative connotation. Between their Middle East and Pacific campaigns Privates Livingston and Oxman, and many of their fellow soldiers, abandoned their units to be with their loved ones. These men were not running from battle or responsibility, but to the service of their families who desperately needed them.
This is also an account of the civilian men and women back home, and of Stanley's future wife, Evelyn. Evelyn's war is a story in itself, by day riveting bombers at Kingsford Smith Airport, by night enjoying the spoils of war courtesy of the ever-present and exotic American servicemen.
Absent Without Leave gives a deeply human face to the circumstances of war. Like many veterans, Stanley Livingston spoke little about the war, and this book is an attempt by his son to discover the man he had never really known. The result is an extraordinary story about an ordinary man: illuminating, deeply moving and told with no shortage of humour. Absent Without Leave unearths a part of Australian history that has largely been forgotten, because no-one ever really talked about it. Until now.

JERUSALEM (Jan. 16)
All appeals to the Baghdad Government to commute the death sentences imposed on three Iraqi Jews for allegedly spying for Israel have yielded no results so far, the chairman of the Iraqi Immigrants Association said here today. David Patia, a member of the Knesset (Parliament), said he had his information from reliable diplomatic sources abroad. It was reported but not verified earlier this week that they had been executed.

Now They've Done It: Science Journal Publishes Deadly Lab-Made Genetically Modified Bird Flu Formula That 'Could Cause Global Pandemic'
It's out there: Science journal publishes details of deadly lab-made bird flu that 'could cause global pandemic'
Scientists argue publication will help find cure
Mutant lab-created version can be spread easily among ferrets
Not clear whether 'new' versions of flu would have same effect in humans
By ROB WAUGH
3 May 2012
The science journal Nature has published the first of two controversial papers about laboratory-enhanced versions of the deadly bird flu virus – described by some as a 'recipe' for a bioterror attack.
The virus sparked fears among U.S. biosecurity experts that it could be used as a recipe for a bioterrorist attack.
Bird flu is lethal in humans, but in its natural form, is unable to be spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing.
The publication of the paper by Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, on Wednesday follows months of debate.
Experts battled over the need for science to be free of censorship against the obligation to protect the public from a potentially devastating flu pandemic.
Bird flu is lethal in people and spreads among those who are in close contact with infected birds, but so far, the virus known as H5N1 has not had the ability to pass easily among humans through sneezing and coughing, and some scientists had begun to doubt that that was possible.
The studies by Kawaoka and Dr. Ron Fouchier of Erasmus Medical College in the Netherlands changed that view by proving that with a few genetic mutations, the virus could pass easily among ferrets, which are used as a close approximation of how a virus might behave in people.

Shoppers responded enthusiastically to a day to promote ethical trade staged in Keighley's Airedale Shopping Centre.
The centre hosted activities on Saturday to mark World Fairtrade Day.
The Fairtrade Keighley group organised stalls where people were able to sample a range of ethically sourced products, including toiletries, fruit, cooking ingredients and coffee. Volunteers also handed out a directory, listing all the local businesses that sell or use Fairtrade goods.
Shopping-centre manager Steve Seymour, who is on the Fairtrade Keighley steering committee, said: "We were quite surprised with how knowledgeable a lot of the people were about Fairtrade.
"Many of those we spoke to were already converts but there were still some people who had the mistaken idea Fairtrade products are expensive or unobtainable.
"People are prepared to buy these items. It's just a case of putting them in front of them so they don't have to go searching around."

LG Prada 3.0 ReviewLG Prada 3.0
In contrast to previous Prada handsets, this time the manufacturer has crafted a smartphone, using the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. However, just like with the previous Prada phones, LG has made sure to tweak the interface so that it fits the minimalist design of the exterior. The default theme features very simple white icons, which stand particularly well when placed on top of a dark background. Many of the widgets in use by the LG Prada 3.0 are also drawn in that same style. This overly-simplistic appearance comes to deliver a characteristic Prada look, that will supposedly appeal to the fans of the brand. In addition, there are a few "Scenes" that the user can chose from, which are basically different homescreen setups, designed to suit different activities better like "Travel", "Play" and "Work".
LG has customized the icons of all Android applications, except for those of Google's services, which are the original ones. It's a nice touch that in the main menu, all the Google services are placed in a separate section, which makes the menu appear uniform in its various parts, as well as well-organized. That's very important for a style-conscious device.
Overall, most elements of the UI have been enhanced in order to achieve that specific look and personality of the phone. The font, wallpapers, apps – all of those have been customized in order to utilize that black/grey/white theme.
As we said, almost all the apps have been customized, and that includes the core ones such as the phonebook, calendar and messaging. However, their functionality has not been altered one bit from the typical Android experience that you'll find on any phone with the OS.
on-screen keyboard is quite big due to the generous 4.3" size of the display, at least in landscape mode. The portrait one is also comfortable enough if you just want to type a quick text with one hand.
Well, the LG Prada 3.0 might be a fashionable phone, but this doesn't mean that it skimps on hardware. The processor inside the LG Prada 3.0 is the dual-core TI OMAP 4430, clocked at 1GHz, and complemented by a gig of RAM. We're delighted to find that the interface moves very fluidly, with almost no stuttering at all.
Internet and Connectivity:
LG's UI customizations often extend to the Android browser, and the one in the Prada 3.0 isn't an exception. Thanks to the strong specs sheet, the browser delivers a very good experience, though it isn't as smooth as what you'll find in iPhone's Safari, or Galaxy Nexus's ICS browser. Of course, Flash Player is supported. Still, if you'd really like to increase that FPS count within the browser, we'd recommend that you install Opera Mobile (free on Android Market), as it manages to deliver a superior browsing performance and a more convenient implementation of tabs.
Since the LG Prada 3.0 is unlikely to end up offered by a U.S. carrier, here's the frequency breakdown. The phone supports the 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz bands for 2G, and 900, 1900 and 2100 MHz for 3G. This means that you should be able to use it on AT&T's HSPA+ network, but 4G and 3G will be out of your reach with T-Mobile. And the handset does support HSPA+ speeds, seeing that its radio can go up to 21.1 Mbit/s on the downlink and 14.4 Mbit/s on the uplink.
The built-in GPS of the LG Prada 3.0 works as advertised – our location was pinpoined in about 3 minutes on a clear day when not using the assistance of Wi-Fi networks.

This is why I hate the commenters on this sight becasue they are biased. You can't respect someone's comment? I never thumbed down anyone's comment even if I didn't like it. If I think LG did a good job making this device then I think they did. LG is not the most renowned name in android but this device is still well specked. I wonder how many of you have read the review?

Awesome love the prada series.the first gen prada was my first mobile phone. Maybe that's why lg is my favorite manufacturer.for me it ain't about the processor for me its all about what my heart says and it says prada over any device regardless of the specs.

seriously an eight? Especially after the low grades you gave away recently.. This phone lacks a decent screen with its ppi of 217, the processor is also kind of slow for 2012 (1ghz).. camera sucks as well..

it's a PRADA phone. the main thing it needs to do is to look good, not to be the fastest phone in the world. besides, 1gHz Dual Core is sufficient and less taxing on the battery
6. jamrockjones (Posts: 345; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I think they were being a little hard on the phone because they had high expectations due to the big name PRADA.
7. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1237; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
As they should. Would you expect a mediocre "Droid" phone? No.
The PRADA phones are meant to be top notch and almost luxury like.

IPS-LCD is TFT type, as far as i know there isn't any other way to make good resolution LCD's without TFT...learn your basics and than make a review and say something like "the Prada 3.0 comes with a large 4.3" screen, which, unfortunately, is of the old-school TFT type, and this is visible, as we observe lower contrast compared to AMOLED or IPS-LCD screens" TFT doesn't make contrast better or worst it's thin transistor film below LCD that gives it resolution...IPS gives it contrast and viewing angles...maybe if resolution is higher the contrast is better and viewing angles are wider but it's primarily for resolution...sheesh you do reviews and you don't even know he basics in hardware of screens...btw I heard that screen on Prada phone will be NOVA display with 800 nits of brightness which means it is IPS LCD

Actually, if you go to the phone''s official website, which is a trusted source, it says that it's real Saffiano leather on the back of this phone, which means the person who wrote this review never even touched the phone or saw it. This makes me question this review, the person who wrote it and this website (phonearena). I have no reason to believe any information wrote on this review. Disappointment.

I really liked. I found one 50% off here, and I'm going to buy it.
I'm not into the fashion thing, I'll buy because I think is beautiful, has what I need (I use my phone to make calls, use internet, send messages, take photos, nothing bg) and is waaaaaay cheaper than other very good phones.

Ear Training Courses
Students develop basic ear training skills through performance and dictation. They study melodies, intervals, harmony, and solfege in major keys, as well as basic rhythms in the most common meters.
Students further develop basic ear training skills through performance and dictation and study melodies, intervals, harmony, and solfege in minor keys, as well as more advanced rhythms, meters, conducting patterns, and notation.
Development of ear training skills through performance and dictation. Study of melodies, intervals, harmony, and solfege in Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, and Phrygian modes, mixed modes, and harmonic and melodic minor. Continued study of rhythms, meters, conducting patterns, and notation.
Continuation of ET-211. Modal singing and dictation studies. Interval studies, two- and three-part dictation. Basic atonal melodic studies.
This course develops students' sight-singing skills using the traditional movable "do" method through drills in rhythm, interval, and pitch, as well as singing exercises in major keys through four sharps and four flats in G and F clefs. This course includes some studies in minor keys, harmonic studies, part singing, and contrapuntal and harmonic dictation.
Students continue their study of sight-singing and harmonic studies in all major and minor keys, as well as C clef drills and rhythm patterns of increased complexity.
This course focuses on a variety of rhythmic patterns, percussive ostinatos, and melodic repertoire from around the world, with an emphasis on African, Caribbean, and South American traditional and popular music, as well as South Indian classical, Balkan, and Middle Eastern genres. In-class activity includes vocalization and rhythmic externalization exercises based on particular musical examples, general listening and aural analysis, and transcription of selected elements of a musical texture. Students examine music from the perspective of musical cognition, including the potential impact of cultural background on the formation of one's mental representation and the analysis of ambiguous musical structures. Homework assignments entail full or partial transcriptions of rhythmic and melodic elements, as well as exercises involving melodic solfege and rhythmic recitation designed to enhance a student's internal sense of time, pitch, and physical independence through singing or speaking of melody and rhythm in the context of its underlying essential metrical structure.
This course will work within the limited scope of progressions including simple root position diatonic harmony, inversions, secondary and extended dominants, II-V patterns, and passing diminished chords. Chord voicings containing one tension will also be covered. This course will include several activiites that address application to real music situations.
This course is a continuation of ET-331. Chord progressions will be more intermediate to complex in nature. The concepts of modal interchange harmony, substitute dominants, and modulation will be introduced. Voicings containing multiple tensions and upper structure triads will also be covered. More extensive transcription work of real music will be incorporated.
Touching on a variety of contemporary styles such as pop/R&B, jazz, fusion, Latin music, and classical genres as resources for weekly in-class analysis, transcription, and solfege exercises, this course enhances theoretical understanding, aural perception, and performance of rhythm in music. Emphasis is placed on accurate and meaningful interpretation and notation of a piece's rhythmic components, e.g., polyrhythmic percussion grooves, syncopated melodic lines, characteristic comping patterns, or large-scale harmonic rhythms. Furthermore, the cognitive process involved in the construction of a resultant metrical perspective will be discussed. Sight-reading and general rhythmic comprehension are challenged through a series of exercises and drills featuring odd-time patterns and polyrhythmic independence between the voice and the body, as well as advanced studies of mixed subdivisions. The intent is to strengthen internal coordination of multiple rhythmic voices, as well as sharpen one's precision and clarity when performing.
A course designed to teach the student how to transcribe instrumental and vocal recorded material as found in jazz, pop, and rock. Techniques for transcribing melody, harmony, and bass lines. This course is especially recommended for those students wishing to extend their skills in identifying chord progressions and rhythms.
Singing and aurally identifying intervals in tonal and nontonal situations. Intended to bridge the gap between relative pitch and hearing by interval alone. Preparation for singing atonal music.

Epson Pro Cinema G6900 WU Home Theater Projector
I've always used the term "light canon" to describe particularly bright home theater / home entertainment projectors. Typically any projector that could muster up 1500 measured lumens with decent color qualified. The Epson Pro Cinema G6900 WU projector definitely raises the bar. It may be a "cross-over" projector – a business/education/commercial projector drafted to do duty in the home, but it does it rather well, especially for the type of situation it is tackling.
Considering you need about 400 lumens in a really darkened home theater for a 100″ diagonal image, here's a projector that measures about 5400 lumens – nine times as bright. Wait, this Epson calibrated, measures 3794 lumens, that's almost six times as bright as the Epson Home Cinema 5030 UB/ Pro Cinema 6030 UB projectors. So, basically the G6900 doesn't belong in a home theater.
Epson saw the market to put this projector in bright rooms in the home. One thing about using a very bright projector like this one in a home, is the projector's audible noise. While almost 40 db is considered on the loud side of things, consider that in low lamp power (Eco mode), the projector claims 31 db. That's actually quieter than Epson's UB projectors when they run at full power, so consider that acceptable.
Picture Quality
Let's see, we've established that the Epson is massively bright. But for the home you want more than just enough brightness to see a good image, you want the image you are seeing to look really good.
Picture quality, overall is most impressive. Color, even in brightest modes is very good, with roughly 5000 lumens available with really good color (a tweak to the brightest mode to improve the color a little, reduces brightness by roughly 10%)
Even fully calibrated, there's still almost 3800 lumens under the hood. Those purchasing this projector, see our calibration page for the basic and color temp settings, try them out. And only for subscribers, you can view the CMS "Advanced" settings, the calibration of the individual colors.
So, no issues with color!
That brings us to dark shadow detail, and black level performance. The dark shadow detail of the Epson G6900 WU is first class, as can be seen in the images on the Picture Quality page. Black level performance, not so good. True black level performance is just above entry level. No problem finding some $1000 range projectors that can match these.
But, when there's ambient light present, and that is a major presumption for owning one of these Epsons, the difference between great black level performance, and mediocre, becomes relatively small, compared with when viewing in a really dark environment.
So while the black levels certainly could be better, you aren't likely to notice when watching House of Cards, with friends, and at least some lights on.
That does, however make the Pro Cinema G6900 WU a better projector (from a purist standpoint) for watching Sports and other HDTV, rather than movies. About the only time you might be disappointed is if you are watching in your media room at night with no outside light, and if you turn off all the interior lights. Then you would miss the better blacks, if you were used to them. But, at the same time, remember, that this projector really would be considered too bright to watch in a room that dark, unless, perhaps your screen size is at least 150 inches or larger (a lot larger).
G6900 WU Useful Features
The Epson G6900 WU is dripping in features, but many of them just aren't likely to be needed in your home. Some though, are cool. The first photo above, for example shows a split screen setup. I've got the DirecTV guide on the left, and a browser window from my laptop on the right. You'll note that the left image is about twice the size of the right. You can set them to be the same size, you can switch them, and more. Should work great for next year's fantasy football. My 8 games (NFL GameMix, on the side with the larger image, and my fantasy football tracking from my computer on the other… What could you use split screen for? Birthday parties? A news feed while watching TV? The Olympics? (Sochi is ending today!)
Nothing like a blindingly bright projector for gaming! The Epson G6900 WU projector is up to the task. Using our usual input lag test, we found that the G6900 WU managed a respectable 50 ms lag. 35 ms, or 10 ms, of course would be better, but most serious gamers seem to be satisfied with a projector that's no slower than 50 ms.
For those who have need, you can even have family computer night. Four computers each displaying in one quadrant of the projected image. (OK, that's a stretch for home use!)
Epson included their dynamic detail enhancement solution: Super-Resolution on this projector. That's a real plus. Intelligent use of it definitely has made those Olympics seem sharper, and more detailed than otherwise.
Dazzling placement flexibility: There's plenty of lens shift and a choice of 6 different lenses, so that this projector should be placeable almost anywhere. It has a long life air filter that easily out lasts a couple of lamps, making maintenance easy. For some, the HDBaseT and HD-SDI might come in very handy (those two features only available on the G6900, not the G6550 or G4855).
Epson Pro Cinema G6900 WU: The Bottom Line
This Epson is no home theater projector, but it is a beast of a projector capable of doing an exceptional job as a powerful home entertainment projector that can tackle (with the right screen), almost any room in your home as long as sunlight or very bright lights aren't trained directly onto the screen.
Great color, sharp image, creative frame interpolation and a host of other features and flexibility should make this an excellent choice for that media room with minimal lighting control. The only short comings of note are the less than stellar black levels, and that the G6900 WU is only available in a black case, which may not work in your room, if you have a white ceiling and a "boss." That's true in my case, so I've opted to get the only slightly less powerful, white cased G6550 instead. That projector, it should be noted again, claims 5200 lumens, and is priced about $1500 less, at $5999.
Ultimately, though this G6900WU is the flagship, the most feature laden, and the brightest projector for your living room, media room, family room, or bonus room. Hey drag it outside and it can probably tackle watching sports on your garage door if it's shady around it.
The real bottom line though, how it works out in my horrendously bright living room, you can read about in the spring of 2014. That's when a G6550 is installed here. At that time I'll blog extensively and add pictures of the projector in action, to this review and the forthcoming review of the G6550. Remember, the screen I used in these pictures was not really suitable for the room.
Are there better commercial projectors for home use? I'll be looking, now that Epson has "promoted" this category, but the G6900 WU projector sure looks like a really strong candidate, and one with an unbeatable warranty and support program as well. After all, you don't just want bright, you want bright, with at least very good color… Epson has done a fine job of taking a commercial projector and making it suitable for media type rooms.

About the Book
David Gough's book-Gods and Monsters-features a collection of his work spanning the last five years. Related in a series of pieces that comprises dark elemental faerie tales, with religious gothic iconography, it procures a surreal balance between fiction and fact and equates the two factions as one and the same.
Hailing from Liverpool-England and now living and working in San Diego, CA-Davids art portrays dark, dogmatic Americana through the unsettling parochial corners of a Victorian kindergarten.
This 40 page full color, soft cover 7" x 7" book, consists of 33 plates of Davids finest works, including both his most recognizable and more obscure art...Order your copy now!
About the Creator
Hailing originally from Liverpool, England-my work explores fantastical themes that interweaves personal history with pop surrealist dark whimsy. Now living and working in San Diego, CA-more recently my work has begun to take on more theistic themes, concentrating on creationist, existential questions, oppressive dogma and issues of human origin. Currently, I sell my fine art reproductions from my website and my art is exhibited throughout the US and worldwide. This year sees the release of my first art book-Gods and Monsters.

The one thing economists agree on is that incentives matter. Unless incentives and constraints are changed through regulation, it is unlikely that behavior on Wall Street will change. And once again, our financial system, our economy and the taxpayer will be in jeopardy.
"Too big to fail" banks have a strong incentive to gamble: If they win, they walk away with the profits; if they lose, the taxpayer picks up the tab. The bailouts blindly saved big banks while smaller banks went bankrupt -- 140 in 2009 alone -- leading to an even more concentrated banking system.
The new rules the administration is proposing are not intended to punish the big banks but to create a sounder financial system. Because the big banks are, effectively, insured by the government, they have had a competitive advantage that isn't based on greater efficiency but on implicit subsidies and political connections. They are not only too big to fail, they are too big to manage; they are, in fact, too big to be.

Auto-Tune The News – Ep10 Turtles
There's a good chance that if you've ever used the internet to procrastinate/look at YouTube/link your friends to ridiculous videos, you've seen "Auto-Tune the News." The concept is simple: take the day's freshest, most serious news, T-Pain the voices, and add some funky background music. The result: hilarious. The brains behind the zany wigs, blue screens, and manic beats are The Gregory Brothers and Sarah Gregory. Check out the latest RADAR episode for some behind-the-scenes action of ATTN making Ep10 – Turtles, or just shoot over to their YouTube page. Just don't forget to subscribe. Turtles:

Tall Firs
We like Tall Firs and their indie rock jamming, even using one of their tracks in season 3 of RADAR. The trio sounds like a compilation of 90s-era Dinosaur Jr., live Neil Young, and aggressive Galaxies 500, but don't take our word for it – Head to their Myspace to hear what's up. We recommend "Axemen" or "Hairdo."

Red Light Properties – Chapter 18
If you're anything like us, you've been following Dan Goldman's work since we featured his Red Light Properties series (RADAR Ep22 – Red Light Properties). The unique webcomic experience is still going strong, with a new chapter prepped for launch on July 27th. The online graphic novel follows a group of ghostbusting realty agents in Miami who turnover previously-haunted houses well-below market value. The self-proclaimed tropical-horror's most unique aspect has got to be its delivery; instead of one massive JPG or PDF shoved onto your screen, the comic unfolds panel-by-panel, one word-bubble at a time, all at the pace of your mouse clicks. Catch up with the eighteen previous chapters now.

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Greatest Show on Earth is returning to the Suncoast...its winter quarters, that is.
Palmetto-based Feld Entertainment, the operators of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, have come to an agreement with Port Manatee to house the quarters there.
Unlike the 160-acre winter campus in Sarasota decades ago, Ringling's winter quarters now consist of a train track and 60 boxcars.
In 1927, John Ringling opened his circus' winter quarters in Sarasota. In 1960 it moved to Venice, and for the last twenty years Tampa has served as the winter home.
Now, the Suncoast -- a community rich in circus history like none other -- is welcoming back Ringling's winter quarters.
"This is truly unique," says Port Manatee Executive Director Carlos Buqueras.
Unique in different ways. For starters, the 250 circus performers live in a train. And unique because that train will be stationed on the tracks at Port Manatee for six weeks starting in mid-November.
Feld's headquarters and training facility is only a short drive away. "They felt that due to the proximity to the facility, it would be beneficial to house their performers here at the port, if the port had sufficient capacity," says Buqueras.
In the city of Palmetto, Mayor Shirley Groover Bryant expects the community to reap the benefits. "It's right at our door. We think it will be very positive for the City of Palmetto and will help local business and give them an infusion during that 6-week time period when they are here. I hope Feld expands even more in Manatee County, and in particular, Palmetto."
Feld is leasing the tracks for $22,000 for those six weeks each year, for the next ten years.
As of now, the train is scheduled to arrive November 17th.

I have back issues of some journals from the 60's and 70's that haven't and most likely won't be made into any electronic format. No, I don't read them daily, but they're still of some value to me at least. I also write commentary or notes in my journals (I didn't say I encased them in carbonite) which wouldn't be present in an electronic format. PDF's with a reader that allowed me to mark them up would be fine, but there is only one application for the iPad that will allow you to add notes to PDFs and it's not ready for prime time. GoodReader is great for reading but has no abilities to note up PDFs either.

If you see a man in New York City wearing flip-flops, he has one of three excuses:
A.) He is walking to the laundromat just around the corner.
B.) He just moved from Santa Barbara within the past six days.
C.) He has lost his mind.
Big cities are sticky, smoggy, and grimy. When it's 90 degrees outside with 500% humidity, you want to wear the lightest clothing possible. While this means less clothing in general, the feet—being rat-level to the earth—still need coverage from sidewalk grime.
Enter espadrilles. They're 700-year-old Spanish staples, with sturdy, braided-rope soles, and canvas or cotton fabric to cover your feet. The most popular model, pictured above, is simple in structure, though I'm keen on these desert-boot inspired espadrilles from Castañer, which really amplify the style cred. Regardless of your preference, wear espadrilles with bare feet or some no-show socks, and you'll keep your toes cool all summer. More importantly, you won't need to soak your feet in the tub when you get home from the corner laundromat.

They're over on her Etsy page and available to pre-order now. Check out more pics below.

Our Mission
We will educate the leaders of today and tomorrow about drinking water quality issues to realize our goal of safe drinking water being available to every Canadian.
Operation Water Drop, Operation Water Pollution, and Operation Water Biology kits enable students to conduct authentic water quality analyses on their own local drinking water and other water samples. Students then compare their results to Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. Additionally, students are supported and encouraged in taking action in order to share information with others and to alleviate drinking water quality issues.
Our Operation Water Flow, Operation Water Health, Operation Community Water Footprint and Operation Water Spirit programs are all available free of charge on this website.
HELP Canadian students LEARN ABOUT DRINKING WATER QUALITY ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS - SPONSOR KITS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE WAITING
Many Canadian schools are on the waiting list for sponsored kits. Please click on the map to discover if schools in your area, the school your children attend, or the school from which you graduated is waiting for a sponsored kit. Please donate a kit to a school today! As little as $85 can educate 30 students about drinking water quality issues and solutions in a hands-on manner.
Please remember the name of the school to which you would like to donate the kit, as you will need to type the school's name into a box. Also, please note that the shipping address you need to enter is your own mailing address so that we can send you an official donation receipt for income tax purposes.

Mumbai: The BCCI's Working Committee will meet here tomorrow to discuss the course of action on former captain Mohammad Azharuddin after the ban imposed on him by the Board was lifted by the Andhra Pradesh High Court earlier this month.
"The Working Committee will discuss what action will be taken on Azharuddin after the High Court lifted the ban imposed on him by the Board," a BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty, however, described tomorrow's meeting a routine affair. "It's a routine meeting of the Working Committee," he said.
Twelve years after the BCCI imposed a life ban on Azharuddin from playing cricket on charges of alleged involvement in match-fixing, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on November 8 set aside the decision of the Board.
A division bench of the High Court set aside the order of a local court, which had upheld the decision of the Board, on an appeal by the 49-year-old Azharuddin. The bench agreed that there was no evidence against the former Indian skipper-turned-politician that he succumbed to any pressure while playing cricket and that the BCCI had proceeded against him unilaterally.
Meanwhile, the Governing Council of the IPL will meet after the Working Committee meeting, and Shetty said it will also discuss routine matters. The Marketing Committee of the Board will also meet to take a decision on the floating of tenders for the title rights of the IPL.
The DLF has ended its title sponsorship of the IPL and the Board will have to float a new tender.

PTC Alliance Corp. brought in outside laborers Thursday to fill in for those lining the company gate.
"We are bringing in temporary labor to help with operations," said PTC human resources director Chris Logan.
Logan said the company will play it day by day and has no set plan for how long it will be using outside help.
As far as production goes, he said the company is still meeting demands.
Logan reiterated in his last conversation with The Alliance Review that the company is open to discussions.
Bill Collins, a Local 3059 representative, said the same.
"The idea is to get back to the table and get back to work," Collins said.
The labor dispute has put 244 workers out of work. PTC and Local 3059 couldn't reach an agreement on two contracts discussed last weekend.
While employees say they are looking for parity in wages and benefits, as well as a fair incentive plan, for second-tier workers, Logan said the demands are not clear.
The union and company have now re-established contact, but no meetings have been set for continued negotiations.

Without massages, shoulders would stiffen into immobility and fall victim to freeloading parrots and the burden of carrying Earth's heavyset brother, Girth. Pamper your perches with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $35 for a 60-minute massage (a $79 value)
- $55 for a 75-minute massage with therapy treatments (a $150 value)
During the 60-minute massage, a trained therapist gently releases tension and soothes aches using therapeutic strokes and kneads. The 75-minute session also relies on therapeutic modalities to rejuvenate the body, but also incorporates 5 minutes on a heated roller table before the massage and 10 minutes of a percussion massage treatment after the massage. Both the heated roller and percussion treatment are medical physical-therapy devices designed to detoxify the body and increase blood flow.

The Australian Securities Exchange is on a collision course with the country's biggest investment banks over a plan to conduct book-builds of allocations for company floats and capital raisings openly on the market itself.
The ASX hailed the move as a world-first on Wednesday, saying it would bring transparency to the process which has been mired in controversy amid allegations investment banks favour some investors over others when allocating shares in raisings and initial public offerings.
But the proposal has angered bankers who control book-builds and claim the ASX's plan could open the system to abuse from opportunistic hedge funds and high-frequency traders.
ASX general manager of capital markets Richard Murphy rejected suggestions that conducting book-builds on the market would shut bankers out of the deal, arguing it would lower the cost of capital and give companies access to a bigger pool of potential investors.
"If you do a capital raising at the moment and you do it via one broker, you are obviously using that broker's distribution, which could be broad in some cases, but it is obviously still limited to one broker's distribution," Mr Murphy said. "By announcing on market that you are doing a capital raising, every broker in Australia and every client of those brokers gets to see the capital raising going on."
Australian companies raised close to $43 billion by issuing shares to investors in the past year. Companies raising money this way typically appoint one or more lead banks to conduct a book-build of prospective investors who want to buy in. The process is largely carried out behind closed doors by investment banks, which have total discretion over who is allocated shares and at what price.
Under the ASX's plan, companies could choose to conduct all or part of a raising in the open market, though they would still need an investment bank to oversee the process.
Market demand would determine the final price at which a company offers shares and all those who had bid for stocks at or above this level would be guaranteed an allocation.
The ASX would charge a fee to companies and investors who use the services, pitting it against investment banks which earn lucrative commissions on book-builds.
"Any innovation in the interest of our clients needs due consideration, but initial review suggests this proposal might have a number of shortcomings," Simon Cox, head of equity capital markets at UBS, said.
Goldman Sachs managing director of equity capital markets Rob Penny said: "We will look further into if this approach does in fact increase transparency, as is its design, or if in practice it has unanticipated consequences that actually diminish transparency and equitable treatment of shareholders."
One banker, who asked not to be named, said the plan was open to abuse. "It's basically good for rich people, friends of the chairman, hedge funds, anonymous corporates, short sellers and high-frequency traders," he said. "You will have no idea of knowing who is behind the real demand (in an on-market bidding process)."
Concern about the current process for organising capital raisings has come to a head after recent shares issues by companies such as Bank of Queensland, Transpacific and QBE came in for heavy criticism from investors. While investment banks have raised doubts about the ASX's plan, many investors approve.
"Anything which is murky and you can't understand how it is done . . . it's a good reason to do it differently," Simon Marais, managing director of funds management firm Allan Gray Australia said. "The current system gives brokers scope to place shares with their friends, or whoever has given them the most brokerage."
Australian Council of Superannuation Investors chief executive Ann Byrne said: "Anything that is more transparent than is currently going on is better because transparency in this area protects the rights of existing shareholders and there have been some capital raisings in the past where we have had concerns."
Mr Murphy said the ASX's plan would open up capital raisings and listings to cashed-up, self-managed superannuation investors and other high net worth individuals, who might not get the chance to participate under the existing system. "From a company's point of view, we think it will improve the transparency and the fairness of the process," Mr Murphy said. "Unless you are a part of the deal, it is highly likely at the moment that you will not even be aware of it until after the event."
The ASX is hoping to have the new system up and running by the end of the year, depending on when it receives approval from the corporate regulator. It would be the first exchange in the world to run an on-market book-build process. The technology behind the process is being supplied by On-Market Bookbuilds, a private company which has patented the system.

No silver lining ever goes without a cloud. Admist the Dingoo La Bamba of recent days, Booboo unfortunately reports that:

Welcome to the OC bitch!
Richard Update:
The following was written in the most stream of consciousness writing I've ever read. It might have been Jim Rome bouncing 100 ideas around in a show just to prove he knows sports. Other than that, I agree, Corp sucks but we didn't lose only because of him. When you fumble the ball twice in the endzone, you really don't deserve to win.
Oh and my Pete Carroll video of the day is him playing the piano during a meeting back in training camp. Not even that could save our football team this season.
Aaron Corp got an introduction to what it's like being the starting quarterback for the Southern California Trojans. And that introduction ended with him getting kicked in the balls by Jake Locker and the greatly inferior Washington Huskies. I predict the Huskies will go like 4-5 in conference this year, thats how bad they are. Still Aaron Corp manned up and still found a way to completely tank. Dude threw for 110 yards and an interception. Should have gone with the Matt Barkley treatment of just handing off to the RBs. They out rushed Washington 250-50 and still lost? How is that even possible. I'll tell you how; Corp went all Cade McClown on the hearts of all USC fans.
You know the Cade McNown training regimen. Party it up hard, bang some playboy playmates, get sparknotes version of playbook, and hope for the best. Like be out of the league before your rookie contract is up. Dude was obviously not prepared for DIVISION I FOOTBALL, IT'S THE PAC 10, IT AIN'T INTERMURALS. Maybe he just wasn't prepared for the moment of playing in The Coliseum. I'm pretty sure next time Matt Barkley has to miss a start, Pete Carroll will start THE FORMER #1 OVERALL RANKED PROSPECT MITCH MUSTAIN instead of some frat boy reject. Oh, no I'm not judging him as a frat boy. It's a fact. According to some USC girls, and who wouldn't trust that, Corp was out the night after the loss partying it up at some frat house..errr..preparing for his next start. Anyone who checked facebook, twitter, blogs, or an actual human being knew that Corp was getting massacred and prepared for expulsion from USC. Honestly I'm surprised he was let into the party. Even frat houses have some standards.

Ambien as a date rape drug
How long can I be tested for the presence of ambien in my body? What test do I need to specifically request?
Ambien is a brand of zolpidem. Laboratory testing for zolpidem is not routinely done. Finding a laboratory that is capable of testing for zolpidem may be difficult.
Zolpidem would not be detectable in the blood more than 15 hours after it was taken.

Reporter: Let's move on to this Chris Wallace dust up with Rick Santorum. I assume you saw it and your reaction to how that went down on Fox news Sunday; I got a lot of emails about it. Obviously Santorum is very socially conservative but what was up with that.
Coulter: I thought it was just an outrageous question, I was just surprised, I don't know if your viewers have seen it but he gives this quote, "the military is very important, we can't engage in social experiments. Do you agree with that Rick Santorum?" And I was sitting back thinking that's going to be a quote from Hitler. It's always unfair to do that.
Reporter: Right
Coulter: No it was some general who said it about Blacks in the military. Well first of all, I thought Juan Williams should have punched for saying that when he came on, on the second half of the program. I am sick of people comparing gays to Blacks. No, it's very different. What Santorum said was true, it's sexualization of the military. It's not like being Black. Tell me how being Black is like being gay. You can see someone is Black, you can't see if someone is gay and the precise policy we're arguing about is whether they can go around announcing they're gay. I mean it's not just being gay. Obviously a guy can be listening to Lady GaGa while downloading files he's about to give to wikipedia in the greatest betrayal of his country that anyone has every committed in the military and he was gay. Pretending to listen to Lady GaGa, tha's not enough under the old policy.
Is your head exploding yet, cause mine is? Though I hate to utter any kind of agreement with Coulter, I believe that she is right: being Black is not like being gay, however; being Black is not like being disabled, or several other isms. No two isms are alike and furthermore, isms frequently intersect. This however was not the distinction that Coulter was attempting to discuss. Considering that Coulter is neither Black or Gay, I really don't know where she gets off believing that she has anything relevant to add to this conversation. It seems to me that what she is attempting to do is to inflame already hostile interactions between homophobic Blacks and White racist members of the GLBT community.
Coulter's comments also completely erases those that are Black and same gender loving. Obviously, when she says Gay, what she really means is White and thus ignores that sexuality is not racially specific. The idea that this is a binary identity is divisive. It emboldens homophobic Blacks to continue on with their hatred, while at the same time encourages racist White members of the GLBT community to continue with their hatred.
The history of racism against Blacks, is not akin to the history of homophobia targeted at Gays and Lesbians, but that does not mean the same measures are not being used to support heterosexism. The idea that gay and lesbians openly serving in the military amounts to social experimentation or overt sexualization is specious at best. The very same argument was deployed regarding women serving in the military. The fact that this same argument has repeatedly been employed, tells us that it is not about a concern for military effectiveness, but an ongoing effort to exclude and oppress marginalized people. GLBT people are openly serving openly globally, further cementing the idea that there isn't a need to exclude to maintain morale or military effectiveness. The arguments of people like Santorum and Coulter are so damn transparent that it would be laughable if it did not lead to furthering heterosexism.
Under DADT, Black women were most likely to be disproportionately effected, which further calls into question the claim that there is no link between race and homophobia. Not only were these women attacked because of their sexuality, but their race played a significant role. Coulter wasn't thinking about these women when she busy discussing the difference between Blacks and gays and lesbians. As long as Black same gender loving people exist, there will always be a link between racism and homophobia. One need need match in every sense of the word for an oppression to exist, furthermore appealing to the difference between homophobia and racism to justify homophobic behaviour, does not even form the basis of a cogent argument.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/6/2014 (1164 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
To create strong neighbourhoods we must invest in their growth and renewal. Our government is ensuring that community organizations continue to thrive with grants through the Community Places Program.
This program funds non-profit community organizations looking to build, expand or upgrade. It targets organizations that make a real difference in their communities through recreational, cultural and wellness services. This year, Community Places will invest over $2.9 million into communities across Manitoba.
Three organizations in Fort Rouge were fortunate to receive Community Places grants.
At Earl Grey School, the parent advisory council received funding for the creation of an outdoor, amphitheatre-style classroom. The new classroom is part of a larger school beautification project they undertook to celebrate the school's 100th anniversary. The school has already completed many improvements, including upgrading brickwork, planting new trees and shrubs and constructing limestone planters.
Little Lambs Christian Preschool will be using its Community Places grant to expand and renovate its facility. After serving our community for over 25 years, it is great to see Little Lambs continue to grow. I am so excited for the delightful children and committed staff to enjoy their new space.
The playground at Prairie Children's Centres on Pembina Highway will also be renovated. It is so important that children have access to safe and modern play equipment, allowing them to get outside and stay active. With new features to explore, you know that the new play structure is going to get a lot of use from eager kids ready to adventure.
Thanks to Community Places, there are over 200 more projects like these happening across Manitoba. Each one is helping an organization transform their space for families to enjoy. I look forward to visiting Earl Grey School, Little Lambs Preschool and Prairie Children's Centres later this year to see the progress they make on these wonderful projects.
For more information on provincial grants that might be available for your project, feel free to contact my office at 204-946-0272 or email us at email@example.com

Adbusters' Design Anarchy is a visual call to arms to resist the commercialization of everything from motherhood to masochism, and has spawned a new genre of "Reactionary Advertising." Each of the hundreds of images in this volume, many paired with notes, commentary and poetry, provokes thought and feeling. It is this feeling, this emotional "conversation" with the page that fuels Adbusters' vision: to prevent the deadening of society, everyman, us, me. You.

Vishwabandhu Marulasidda (ವಿಶ್ವಬಂಧು ಮರುಳಸಿದ್ದ) is the founder of "Saddharma Peetha" (throne of righteousness) at Ujjaini. The main temple (Garbha gudi) is the Aikya Mantapa of his holiness Sri Marulasidda. He was a saint & social reformer of 12th century. He fought alongside Basavanna against religious exploitation & social inequalities perpetrated in the name of God & religion.

History of Marulasidda
In the 12th century there lived a couple in this place who were strong followers & devotee of Lord Shiva. They did'nt have children for a long period. Once Lord Shiva came to this place in disguise of Rushi/Sadhu. He was in need of water, so he went to this couple's house & asked for water. The couple happily gave water to the Rushi. Impressed with the help, he asked the couple what they need, they said since long time they are not having any children, so kindly bless us with a baby. The Rushi blessed the couple & disappeared, it was then Sri Marulasidda was born for this couple. Marulasidda was very intelligent & he used to do miracles. At his younger days because of his miracles, few villagers could'nt believe & got irritated. They planned to burry him in a pit by putting limestone & other heating elements, after doing this also Marulasidda came out of it without any problem. This was a real miracle, after this incident people started following him. He asked the local king to give him some land to establish the "Peetha" & temple. He did a lot of work including fighting against religious exploitation & social inequalities perpetrated in the name of God & religion. Finally since he knew about his death, one day he went in to the cave inside the Peetha & disappeared. Later a temple was constructed around the Aikya Mantapa of his holiness Sri Marulasidda.
History of Jetigeppa/Jetteppa Temple
When Sri Marulasidda was at his peak of doing the miracles, roaming around the places in preaching his principles & doing miracles, once he went to Kolhapur, current day in Maharastra. Maya, a yogini from Kolhapur tries to overpower Marulasidda by her occult skills. But Marulasidda proves to be a match for her. He turns her in to a kinnari & carries her away.
While returning back to Ujjaini, impressed by the spiritual powers of Sri Marulasidda, the Jettis (powerful people) of Kolhapur offered a help to Marulasidda to protect him all the time & came along with Marulasidda to Ujjaini. So whenever somebody wants to meet Marulasidda, they had to get a permission from Jettis & then could meet Marulasidda. Even now the same process is followed, in the sense before going to the Marulasiddeshwara Temple, first we need to go to Jetigeppa Temple & then proceed to Marulasiddeshwara Temple.
History of Taralabalu
After many years of preaching his principles to the people, finally when his days near to end, he finds a person Telugubalu Siddeshwara & decides him to be the successor of the Peetha. On a full moon day of the month of Magha in Ujjaini, Marulasidda installed his disciple to Telugubalu Siddeshwara with the blessings "Tarala Nee Balu" i.e. "Long live, my land". From that day onwards whoever heads this pontifical throne is know as "Taralabalu Jagadguru". Taralabalu Mutt was initially in Ujjaini continued after Sri Marulasidda, but in the recent years, due to some dispute the mutt had to be moved to Sirigere in Chirtadurga district.
