Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
This past summer I did a slow living inspired guide to enjoying summer. Those lazy days feel long gone now, but I've heard from a number of readers lately who are looking to fill their winter and holiday seasons with the same Primal inspiration. Besides the amazing recipes and great winter workouts, what food for thought can the Primal Blueprint offer this time of year? What can we do to make the most of these shortest, darkest days and busiest holiday weeks? What does it mean – in practical as well as broader terms – to apply a Primal lens to the season?
Let me actually reframe it in terms of the Primal Connection – the concept that our evolutionary roots have something to teach us in creating a contented, fulfilling life – because I think it most aptly addresses the question. In making the Primal Connection, we're motivated to embrace the full potential and pleasure of our physical as well as intuitive selves. We're moved to reconnect with the natural world and our innate rhythms. We're drawn to explore deeper, more essential dimensions of social relationships and expand our practice of creative play.
The modern dilemma is often untangling ourselves from the distracting and distorting cultural baggage attached to these fundamental inclinations. Look at what we too often put ourselves through this time of year. As much as we're driven to fit in with our surrounding culture – a complicated instinct of its own – there's a certain irony in the fact that these weeks are often our most unhealthy. While nature encourages us to lay low, rest more, and keep life casual, many of us are burning the candle at both ends. We sleep less, eat more junk food, rush more often, overspend more frequently, and then wonder why we're so tired and cranky by the end of it.
A lot of great blogs and publications encourage us to slow down during the holidays. By all means, the slow movement is as applicable now as it was back in August. In the spirit of those readers' inquiries, however, let me take it a step further. If slow suggests a pace for living and a subsequent winnowing of priorities, what practical cues can the Primal Connection add to that deliberation? What can our Primal roots remind us to prioritize in the midst of the commercial blitz? And how do we put the holidays in perspective and give the winter season it's celebratory due? In short, beyond the buffets, what does it mean to keep it Primal this time of year?
Thanks for reading today, everyone. Share your own thoughts and suggestions on enjoying a full Primal season. Have a great weekend.
The Sequel to The Primal Blueprint Releases on January 8
In a few short weeks I'll be releasing The Primal Connection, the long-awaited sequel to The Primal Blueprint. As friends and colleagues within the ancestral movement have so generously described, The Primal Connection offers the first really new dimension in the paleo/Primal space in years. Is there any better way to start the new year – not to mention the fact that we all survived the Mayan apocalypse? In all seriousness, I've been pumped about this launch for months now.
Like The Primal Blueprint, The Primal Connection is both a culmination and expansion of principles I've first introduced here on MDA. It picks up where The Primal Blueprint left off, by extending the primal theme beyond the diet and exercise basics. In it I present a comprehensive plan to overcome the flawed mentality and hectic pace of high-tech, modern life and reprogram your genes to become joyful, care-free, and at peace with the present. Inherent to The Primal Connection is the concept that we can use the model of our ancestors to create not just a healthier existence but also a more balanced and fulfilling life. My hope is that upon reading it you'll emerge with a renewed appreciation for the simple pleasures of life and our most precious gifts of time, health, and love.
Just as I did for Primal Blueprint Healthy Sauces, Dressings & Toppings earlier this month, I'll have something special put together for devoted Mark's Daily Apple readers when this book is released on January 8th, 2013. So mark your calendar and be ready to jump on the offer while it lasts.

62 Comments on "15 Primal Ways to Savor the Holiday Season"
Last year I put on a few pounds this time of year and almost started questioning this primal thing. The weight fell off in the spring and I was stronger. The winter weight is back. It seems that my weight is doing it's own primal thing and, like you, I don't get as cold in the winter as I did in my pre-primal days.
My carbs are up and down and my weight goes along with it (I have some genetic insulin resistance). And my scale shows body fat and body water %s. I watch those 2 numbers fluctuate BUT sometime in September those very carbs change what I retain. Summer it's water. Winter it's fat and I develop a thin layer all over. This has happened the last two years. Coincidence? Probably – but it does make me wonder if there's something to it.
Glad to know that I'm not alone
Happy to read this thread, as my scale had my BF% at 29.6% just before Thanksgiving (first time below 30% in YEARS), but after the holiday my weight went up 3 pounds and the BF% has been stuck at 31%, +/- 0.5%.
I've been IF, lifting heavy, and doing various types of metabolic work, but the % hasn't moved. The concept that maybe my body has a "season" to hold onto some extra fat is very appealing. I think I'll adopt this concept and try not to obsess too much about it.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
With 11 days off work, I plan on doing a lot of hiking around the neighborhood. Hopefully there will be plenty of fresh air and sunshine (or snow is good too, but I'm not getting my hopes up….darn TN weather). Merry Christmas everyone!
I have 11 days off too. I am using it to do an intense 14 day push up routine called the evil russian.
Evil Russian = Stalin
That sounds interesting. I might have to look that up. I already do quite a few pushups because I take Taekwondo…maybe incorporate a pulling exercise into it too for balance….hmmmm…
Lovely post, Mark. For me, it's definitely the catnap on the sofa – I just had one. Soft lights, a miniature
Christmas tree for my dolls, fragrant bone broth simmering in the slow-cooker, blissful peace and contentment. Add in Nat King Cole's Christmas Song, and you have perfection. Happy hols to all!
Although anyone from my home town in the Midwest will kill me for complaining. But man I miss the snow here in Sam Diego. Everything you described I the nature section hit home. Got me amped to take in winter. . It's actually cold here right now (sd cold) and time for a trip to the mountains to take in some real winter weather!
Someone has to figure out why I'm here or what makes me tick. Existence is no way to live and I've long since failed to find the meaning of life beyond the number 42.
I'd like to know too
Read some Joseph P. Farrell and all shall be revealed…
C'Mon – Purposeless scientific materialism should never be allowed to interfere with warm,fuzzy illusions of meaning, especially during the holidays.
How do you expect to offer new dimensions in the paleo/primal space?
I'm 52 and I still get caught muttering "what's it all about Alfie?" 🙂 I try to stay detached most days and just go with the flow. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Sarte – the metaphysician who denied he was a metaphysician – and the antithesis of both science and "rational" metaphysics. Might as well quote Sun Myung Moon.
I have found winter much more bearable by spending as much time outdoors as possible. Winter hiking and snowshoeing are a great workout and the woods are gorgeous in the winter. Instead of buying each other gifts for Christmas, my husband and I are renting an overnight heated ice shack to ice fish later in winter. Mt. Washington observatory also does day trips, where you can ride the snow tractor to the top of the mountain. So many fun things to look forward to, rather than sitting inside waiting for spring!
Ironically we are celebrating Xmas with a few family members early this year, they are not primal beings…..yet!!! But I was explaining some of what I have learned (short of being a primal cop) and it was what you just shared. Guess much of what you have written has sunk in. Thanks Mark!!
Where I live in Tennessee, the sun sets around 4:45pm right now and rises at about 7:00am. Do you think Grok, with no electricity, would have gone to sleep by 5pm and up with the sun at 7am? That's 14 hours of sleep, just wondering your thoughts. Conversely, in the summertime when the sun doesn't set until 9pm…would he have operated on less sleep?
Here in Washington state sunrise is 8am and sunset is 4pm. Sitting in front of the fire and doing crafts in the evening was a pretty common way of spending winter evenings historically.
And "sunrise" is a pretty generous way to put it in Western WA… 🙂
Yes,"sunrise" is a very loose term in the PNW. Makes me crave the non-coastal winters of cold weather PLUS sunshine!
I enjoy winter evenings of knitting/crocheting by the fire, even if it is gas fireplace!
Too true, lighter grey would be more accurate. I haven't actually seen the sun in awhile.
I was thinking yesterday about how I am happy to go to sleep so early lately (sometimes by 8:30) and I decided that I was "hibernating".
Search the archives on sleep. I recall a post addressing "two sleeps" a night.
I am totally in the "two sleep" mode: Falling asleep early (like 7 pm) and waking at 1 am or so for a while, then sleeping again until 4 am. My biggest problem is regardless of how early I get up, that late sunrise makes me think I don't need to leave for work!
A spent a couple of weeks in Alaska during the summer a couple of years ago, and had to force myself to go to bed around midnight/1 a.m. using blackout curtains to be able to sleep, then wide awake by 4 a.m. I didn't feel tired, drowsy or sleepy the entire time I was there (and this was pre-primal). As soon as I returned home (Texas), I fell asleep at sundown and woke up at sunrise (east-facing windows with no covering). I can see Grok sleeping in rhythm with whatever climate he was in.
What if sitting in front of the television IS my quality me time? Last night I put on Harry Potter, turned out the lights, lit some candles, and curled up with a hot mug of decaf with Bailey's (what? Grok didn't have Bailey's?) and it was an excellent night!
Fire = caveman TV
We're made to be drawn in and stare.
Lets be honest – Harry Potter makes everything better!
Being on the opposite hemisphere, I have to revisit the posts on savouring summer! The longest of the day here! But definitely lessons here on how to cope with the crazy Christmas season regardless of the weather outside.
My goal in 2013 is to be more social & play more. Less planned, organized schedules and more sporadic, spontaneous adventures. It is so easy to get caught up in routine. Sometimes it does the body good to just go off course every once in a while and enjoy.
Happy Holidays everyone!
This may sound like a complete oxymoron, but planned spontaneity. I have X free time this day or weekend and go… Keeping a packed travel bag at home or in your vehicle is a great way to be prepared for spontaneity. There have been many-a-Fridays that I'd leave work early and take off because I had a packed travel bag in the boot. Even better are quick midweek getaways (less traffic)
Can't imagine you 'at work' Bon.
That makes you and my co-workers.
I like! I'm using the bag in the trunk idea.
Always have a bathing suit in the bag unless you are really comfortable with your skin.
Don't forget to bring a towel.
What a fantastic post! And thanks for linking back to your summer one for us in the southern hemisphere! These are the kind of posts I love MDA for. There's so much more to living primal than just what we eat. Happy solstice
Candle bath, candle story, candle bedtime for kids. Hmmm…I doubt you and the wife "go to sleep" the same time as the kids. Great idea!
beautiful idea! What a wonderful memory your boys will have.
Let's not fight our seasonal nature. Winter solstice is the best time to eat all the primal things!
As for me, I'm ecstatically happy just to spend long hours with my boys. Thank goodness there is one time of year when people in offices agree to mostly leave each other alone for a week.
My primal objective for the winter holiday: forget what day of the week it is.
Tim, you bring up a great point on eating all primal things in solstice. Does anyone here (in their respective cold season- screw all you "equatorians") do not eat green leafy veggies and stick to gourds, tubers, etc. A root cellar can port over a bunch of produce but even that has its limits. I am trying true local seasonal eating right now, which includes tubers, winter squashes, carrots, brussel sprouts, chard, beets, radishes, turnips, kale, etc. Also the ground is uncharacteristically not frozen and there is an extended growing season.
Great post Mark – here in sunny Queensland, Australia we are enjoying our Summer Solstice day today, but I think the principles you esposed about rhythm are just as sound.
14 hours of sunlight for us today – I better get out there and make the most of it! 4 of them are already gone better get moving!
I love your emphasis on natural human behavior mark. Not just "PALEO", mind you…
If you can stir enough people to reconnect with their true natures, we can have a revolution of not just nutrition but of consciousness..neat!
I'm ascending, happy flecshing holidays.
Glad to read you're back.
Not primal ? but I've been so happy learning to screen print, hand-dyeing fabric and shirts and sewing. My garage studio and sewing den make the lack of outdoor sports ok. Maybe grok and grokette used this time to stitch up hides and tinker with plant-based dyes, or paint on the cave walls. I get a deep satisfaction from these artistic pursuits. But when warmer temps arrive I'll be back climbing!
From Wisconsin: I thought of Mark's "reclining in the grass in the sun" photos yesterday while I really got a total kick out of dealing with our blizzard (16″ of snow).
Thankfully, I didn't have to drive, so I could heave the snow boulders out of the end of the driveway, throw snowballs at trees, and haul broken branches out of our yard. Plus shoveling and roof raking. It was a lot more fun with some Grok attitude than it otherwise would have been.
And my neighbors probably think I'm nuts because I like to say "RAWR" a lot.
Play! I played tag with a 3 and 6 year old the other week, and it was the most fun (and best sprint workout ever)that I have had in years.
These 15 primal ways will be definitely helpful for many persons. Thanks for sharing this useful ideas. We should follow these useful tips in day to day life.
Love this article Mark. Can't wait to read your new book. Thank you!

Norwegian midfielder John Arne Riise developed a penchant for the spectacular during his spell at Monaco in Le Championnat. He scored a series of scorching efforts in his two years with the principality club and since joining Liverpool during the summer, Riise has already scored twice, including a great solo effort against Everton in last weekend's Merseyside derby.
On Saturday, Riise faces a player who has certainly scored his fair share of extravagant goals, Tottenham Hotspur's veteran midfielder Gus Poyet.
Indeed the former Chelsea man has netted in excess of 10 goals per year in his last three Premiership campaigns, a great achievement considering that he has suffered injury in each of those seasons.
Poyet has yet to open his account for Spurs so far this term, but has been hampered by the fact that he was ruled out for three games through suspension because of the dubious red card that he picked up at Everton.
Indeed, the Uruguayan midfielder may be a good bet to open the scoring at Anfield and is rated at 12/1 by online bookmakers surreySPORTS.com. If you think that Riise is a better bet, he is available at a similarly reasonable 16/1.
Liverpool will undoubtedly be favourites on Saturday, having won the last four meetings between the two clubs on Merseyside. And considering that Riise has been accurate with an excellent 40% of his crosses so far this term, even if the Norwegian fails to get on the scoresheet, he will undoubtedly create a few chances for team-mates such as Emile Heskey and Michael Owen.
However, Poyet has connected with a Spurs colleague with an even more impressive 60% of his crosses, indicating that there is more to his game than goalscoring. Considering that the Reds have been unusually generous in defence thus far this season, if the former River Plate midfielder can get hold of the ball regularly in attacking areas, Spurs may stand a chance of gaining something from their trip to Anfield.
Tottenham showed on their recent trip to Sunderland that they can travel to even the most difficult of venues and get a result. But Poyet and his team-mates from White Hart Lane will have to be at their very best if they are to travel back to north London with anything more than a point.

And sometimes the exact opposite of that happens. Welcome to Doubtblush. Oh, Bath & Body Works. Really? It isn't that we don't love you - we probably bought enough Rainkissed Leaves to single-handedly skew your sales numbers. And we don't have anything against silly stuff. Gift sets shaped like little bathtubs? Amusing! Variously decorated rubber ducks? Cute! But whoever decided that hand sanitizer called I Love Boys ($1.50) was a good idea? It's not Amusing or Cute so much as Uncomfortable. Do you want people thinking about what that statement has to do with hand sanitizer? Why does VestDude look so scared, anyway? So until we hear that this substance has been adopted as the minor germkiller of choice by gay college students for sheer force of ridiculous, we're not lifting the Doubtblush label.

I am in LDR with him. We are both 21. We are together since six months and I have the feeling he is using me for... homeworks. It can sounds funny, but looks like that. He made me write four paper for his studies. He told that he had no any time cause he also works. The first time he asked I accepted to help him, then few weeks afain he asked again. I could not say no because I did not want to make him sad. Isn't it love, to help our beloved one? Today, he asked me to prepare a powert point presentation, I accepted. It took me all afternoon to do it, when i sent him and he checked it he became completly crazy at me, telling that he will fail and I did not do a good job. I get both so sad and angry. Five minutes after, he sent an apologizing message telling that he did not feel good today. What should I answer? Is he using me?
Most Helpful Guy
it really depends because did he make it clear that he only wants to be a classmate which means just communicate to help each other for homework? if he didn't then he is using you because if he wasn't using you he would ask you out or talk to you out of school. you should have said no from the beginning and ask him for his number so you could have your answer right from the beginning if he is interested or not. never help someone with anything unless they make it clear what are their real intentions00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
It's ok to help him, such as take a look at his papers and offer some advice or some review, but you shouldn't do his papers for him. It's something he has to do himself. If his studies are important for him, he will manage to find free time for them. I think you should accept his apology, but you should also explain that you aren't going to take up such a responsibility again.00|00|0

From Wikipedia
A History Of European Art
Lecture OneIntroduction
Western art is the art of European Countries, and works created in the high art forms accepted by those countries.
Written histories of Western art often begin with the art of the Ancient Middle East, Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Aegean civilisations, dating from the 3rd millennium BC. Parallel with these significant cultures, art of one form or another existed all over Europe, wherever there were people, leaving signs such as carvings, decorated artifacts and huge standing stones. However a consistent pattern of artistic development within Europe becomes clear only with the art of Ancient Greece, adopted and transformed by Rome and carried; with the Empire, across much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
The influence of the art of the Classical period waxed and waned throughout the next two thousand years, seeming to slip into a distant memory in parts of the Medieval period, to re-emerge in the Renaissance, suffer a period of what some early art historians viewed as "decay" during the Baroque period, to reappear in a refined form in Neo-Classicism and to be re-born in Post-Modernism.
The other major influence upon Western art has been Christianity, the commissions of the Church, architectural, painterly and sculptural, providing the major source of work for artists for about 1400 years, from 300 AD to about 1700 AD. The history of the Church was very much reflected in the history of art, during this period.
Secularism has influenced Western art since the Classical period, while most art of the last 200 years has been produced without reference to religion and often with no particular ideology at all. On the other hand, Western art has often been influenced by politics of one kind or another, of the state, of the patron and of the artist.
Western art is arranged into a number of stylistic periods, which, historically, overlap each other as different styles flourished in different areas. Broadly the periods are, Classical, Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Modern. Each of these is further subdivided.

There's a new movie out and I want to recommend it to you. It's good to go support family friendly movies because then maybe they'll bring more out! On that note, may I recommend Fireproof to you? It's about a heroic fireman (Kirk Cameron) in a failing marriage who takes up his father's challenge to be part of a 40-day experiment designed to teach both husband and wife the real meaning of commitment.
A reader, Kimberly from NC, offered to review it for us. Thanks, Kimberly!
"This was a great movie. Anyone who is married or ever plans to wed should see it. It is my understanding that a church in Georgia made this movie (they've already made 2 other movies) that have a Christian theme. That said, they used a lot of volunteers and the small movie crew worked for discounted rates to get this movie out. Some of the acting may not be the absolute best ever, but it doesn't affect it in a bad way because of the great message of the movie.
There are some hilarious scenes and some very touching scenes. My church showed us some clips prior to this movie's release and that really got me hyped to see it and I'm so glad I did. My husband and I both agreed that this was a must see and we've been telling everyone we know to go see it.
To have a Christian movie out in public theaters is awesome. The main character actually gets led to the Lord by his father on the screen! The world really needs to see this! And the story line of a hurting marriage is one that everyone can learn something from. The main character learns that he cannot truly love his wife until he finds out what the true love of God is.
Go see this movie and take your friends and family with you. Especially the couples that you know are struggling in their marriage relationships."

Opened in 1955, the metro (subway or underground) in Rome has grown very little by little and currently only operates 37,3 miles (60 km) made up of three lines. It is one of the smallest metros in Europe.
At present, there are plans for the creation of a fourth line. The reason why the metro system is so limited is that each time a new tunnel is built, more archaeological remains are found; something which also happens in Athens.
Although the metro only comprises three lines, it gets to most of the city's top attractions. These are the most important stops to keep in mind:
Line A runs from the northwest to southeast, from Battistini to Anagnina. The most important stops are the following:
Connects the northeast to the south of Rome, from Rebibbia to Laurentina. The most important stops are the following:
Tickets can be purchased at the metro stations, at news-stands and in most corner shops. If you are planning to use public transport regularly we recommend that you buy a few tickets at a time or buy a travel card.
The metro opens every day from 5:30 am to 11:30 pm. On Friday and Saturday, the metro runs until 1:30 am.
If you'd like more information on the fares, discounts and the various travel cards, check out our article on tickets and travel cards in Rome.

Volunteer Spotlight August 08 2016, 0 Comments
Carol and Ella are two of our wonderful volunteers who are involved on the Design team at Re:new. Ella started volunteering in February of this year while Carol has been volunteering for about two years now. What is special about these two is that Ella is Carol's granddaughter! While in the Studio designing, they love to bounce ideas off of one another and really trust each other's opinion. Carol and Ella are quite the talented duo!
Q: What prompted you to start volunteering at Re:new?
Ella: The environment. I liked coming here because it's a safe place for me. I also liked spending time with my Grandma so that's why I originally started coming.
Carol: My daughter Sue Roman (Re:new's office manager) is the reason that I started coming. Then I watched the design process and thought that it looked like fun and thought 'hmm maybe I could do that'. It is also such a positive environment and all the women who volunteer here are so generous with their time, it inspires me to do the same.
Q: (Ella) Out of all the extracurricular activities that are available at your age, why do you choose to spend your time at Re:new?
E: It's a safe place for me and everyone here is like family, which makes it really enjoyable. I also like getting to be creative with the different bags I design and spending time with my Grandma.
Q: What is your favorite part of designing and what item is your favorite to design?
E: My favorite product to design is the Oxford wallet. My style is more contemporary; I like to use black, white, and gray fabrics as much as I can. My favorite part of the design process is seeing the bags that I designed displayed out in the store.
C: My favorite is the Keeto. And I like to use a lot of color and match the colors together. My bags are more color coordinated than Ella's. Ella's bags are a bit more eccentric in the fact that she puts patterns together that I would never pick out. But they always look great once they are pieced together! Other people can decipher between the bags we make because our styles are different. They can pick out which ones I've made and which ones Ella has made.
Q: What is your favorite part about working with each other?
C & E: Being able to have conversation with each other while we work and get closer through this experience. While designing we get a lot of chances to have really good conversations and quality time together.
Q: What is the greatest takeaway from the time you have spent at Re:new?
E: The artisans. They are all so encouraging and love giving design advice. They are super laid back and never mind when we interrupt them to talk or ask questions.
C: I also love hearing them laugh. I love to see all the joy they have while in the studio especially knowing that their lives have not been easy. They truly are an inspiration to be around.

Can I change the form to display 'align left' rather than 'centered' on my page?Asked by 2bllc on March 16, 2015 at 04:27 PM
Dear JotForm:
You guys are remarkable! Thank you for providing such a helpful service!
I was wondering if it's possible to implement a simple tweak - to have my form present with a flush left alignment on the page rather than being centered?
With appreciation for your assistance:
Thank you for the nice words Laura, I will however need to ask you what you mean by 'flush left'? I thought that you want the labels and fields to all go as much to the left as possible and follow the line (so to speak), but when I view your page it seems to be already set like that.
Could you please let us know if you were able to make the change yourself or if I have misunderstood what you are looking to achieve?
Thank you.
Hey Ben. "Nevermind" :) I discovered the Forum and got many answers to my questions. Applied the custom code and now my form is presenting perfectly! Gratitude to all!
Great to hear that Laura :) Yes, our forums, guides (text and video) as well as blog - all have great ways to use your jotform :)
Do let us know however if you do not manage to find the answer at any time and we would be happy to help you :)

King Philip IV of Spain (1605 - 1665)
About this artwork
This portrait of King Philip IV is a copy of a painting by Velázquez, now in the National Gallery, London. It may have been made in the seventeenth century and was later cut down at the bottom and right. It could, therefore, have originally been closer to Velázquez's work in size, and possibly included the badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece suspended from the gold chain. The plain background serves as an effective foil for the king's distinctive head and face. There are at least twenty known versions of this popular portrait.
- title: King Philip IV of Spain (1605 - 1665)
- accession number: NG 1625
- After: Diego VelazquezSpanish (1599 - 1660)
- artist: Unknown
- depicted: Philip
- gallery: In Storage
- object type: Painting
- subject: Baroque Royalty
- materials: Oil on canvas

Diego Velazquez
Diego Velazquez
Velázquez became the leading Spanish artist of the seventeenth century. His outstanding skills were evident in his early works in Seville, and his talent for portraiture soon brought him to the attention of the court in Madrid. He moved there on his appointment as painter to King Philip IV in 1623. He was inspired by Titian's paintings in the Spanish royal collection and visited Italy twice. His innovative designs, and bold dazzling brushwork brought universal admiration. Velázquez was honoured as a knight for his artistic and diplomatic services in 1658.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes the creation of a mixed-criticality Java virtual machine (VM) and native code hypervisor of unprecedented flexibility and capability. Current generation mixed-criticality systems rely on proprietary and expensive operating systems, limiting the adoption of such systems and their attendant benefits. Classic mixed-criticality approaches trade off expressivity and flexibility for safety and verifiability. As such, they are currently limited to specialized hard real-time market sectors, like avionics. Cutting edge research in compiler design, virtual machine scheduling, transactional memory, and mixed-criticality communication will be combined with an existing VM and traditional mixed-criticality hypervisor to create a nontraditional mixed-criticality hypervisor combining the best features of hard real-time Java, mixed-criticality systems, and flexible off-the-shelf software development capabilities. This research will address just in time compilation and runtime code insertion for hard real-time environments, flexible soft real-time time partitioning for virtual machine hypervisors, hard real time transactional memory protocols, and time- and space-partitioned hard real time communication mechanisms. The broader impact/commercial potential of this product is the great reduction of time and cost for development and increased reliability of mixed-criticality software systems. Embedded real-time software can be found in automobiles, aircraft, satellites, medical devices, and many other applications. Java-based mixed-criticality solutions offer to reduce development time and costs, while attaining high fidelity software with provable guarantees. By reducing time-to-market and costs, the technology in this proposal will enable faster innovation in a potentially large number of embedded software markets. More specifically, the cost-effective creation of the next generation of medical devices with provable guarantees ensuring both patient health and patient privacy, thereby enabling the further modernization of medicine, while adhering to regulatory guidelines set forth by government entities. In addition, the software developed in this proposal will be available free of charge as open-source software to be used by the academic and scientific communities for non-commercial purposes.

President Lincoln spent most of his summers at the Soldiers' Home, about three miles northeast of the White House. He was escorted to and from his summer quarters by members of the 150th Pennsylvania Volunteers, who camped on the White House lawn.
One of the members of the Bucktails, as the150th was known, was Pvt. Albert Nelson See, who joined the regiment in early 1864 and kept a year-long diary of his observations of Lincoln, camp life and Washington politics. That diary went on exhibit Sept. 26 along with some of his personal belongings at the visitors' center for President Lincoln's Cottage.
See wrote in his diary about the Battle of Fort Stevens on July 11-12, 1864, and about Lincoln's appearance at the fort. "President L. was at the Ft. yesterday and day before and has been every day since the enemy came near so that there was a danger [when] he was standing on the wall of Ft Stephen when a man was killed beside him by a Sharp Shooter and several balls struck near him, but he never flinches."
The diary was a gift from See's great-granddaughter, Betty Kessler of Wichita, Kan.
The exhibit opened Sept. 26 and will close Dec. 31, 2013.

Quietly, Elvis Presley's December 1976 Concert at Memorial Auditorium Was Officially Released
The boots got the boot last week, and my apologies to those Friends of Unfair Park who wrote in wondering what the what. (Out-of-town family obligations, if you must know.) I had intended to make up for that slight with a certain high-quality recording of some renown: Elvis Presley at Memorial Auditorium on December 28, 1976 -- otherwise known 'round my house as The Only Elvis Show My Parents Went To. (And to think -- Dad coulda gone to the Big D Jamboree.) It's a top-notch collection -- a Late '76 Comeback of sorts following what was said to be a miserable summer tour during which Presley was an out-of-breath, out-of-shape wreck.
Only, as I went about researching that particular show, I discovered this: Two months ago, the long-passed-around soundboard recording was officially released by the Presley peoples on the Follow That Dream label, set up via a partnership with Sony BMG. (These recordings, never advertised, are "considered of interest to serious Elvis fans and collectors.") The Memorial show is actually the second disc of a $30 two-fer titled Elvis Showtime! Birmingham/Dallas '76. He damned sure didn't sound like a man who had but eight months more to live. Forthcoming in moments, something for your weekend listening pleasure.

AN air cadet from Wyre Piddle, near Pershore is in line for a place on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to South Africa.
James Rowberry, a member of the 233 (Pershore) Squadron Air Training Corps, was one of 30 cadets who took part in a selection event in Somerset last week.
Ten out of the 30 will win a place on the two-week expedition in July, but the names of the winning cadets will not be announced until the beginning of May.
And one will be crowned the CVQO Duke of Westminster Award winner for 2017 at a ceremony in the House of Lords on June 29.
James, aged 18, was awarded the Young Good Citizen Award, by the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner this year.
On the agenda for the four-day event in the heart of the Quantock Hills were physical team-building tasks, challenging group debates, strategy tests and interviews, designed to test the young people's leadership and management skills.
The event was organised by education charity CVQO and took place at Outposts Adventure Specialists, near Taunton in Somerset.
James said: "I was hugely surprised to have been selected and if I get to South Africa then that'll be a fantastic bonus."
Guy Horridge, chief executive of CVQO, said: "The award is not about who comes first or finishes quickest; it is about demonstrating teamwork, determination and selflessness.
"We know the young people who have been nominated are great cadets. The award exists to recognise what they have done for their local communities, their families and friends. For example, do they volunteer regularly? Have they had to overcome a personal challenge?
"We are looking for those young people who are working hard to achieve their aspirations, overcoming whatever life has thrown at them, building a resilience and determination to succeed. The standard, as ever, is very high this year."
Those who win a place on the South Africa expedition will be working with local schools, taking part in an environmental awareness programme and learning about the country's history.

Drift HD Ghost
Had my first outing with the camera yesterday, just a quick run to the shops for some cold and flu remedies. Not feeling very well at all, but it was so sunny I just had to get the 'bike out. All I wanted to do was hide under the duvet all day.
There are lots of clips on YouTube reviewing the camera, probably isn't much I can add to them. I like the size and shape of the camera, lends itself better to helmet cam use than something like a GoPro. I particularly like the fact that you can rotate the lens, so no matter which way you orientate the camera, you can always get the picture the right way up. The remote is great too, no fiddling around with the camera trying to stop and start it with your gloves on. The remote makes this a very simple operation. The mounts are nice and secure, although the fit between the universal clip (which fixes to the base of the camera) and the helmet mount could be a bit more snug. I found it rattled just a little, so added a piece of thin sticky pad under the clip to stop it.
I've used Adobe's Premiere 9 to process the video and upload to YouTube. It think it converts it into an .flv file before uploading. I'm pretty sure the process degrades the quality of the video in comparison to the original file. If anyone has version 11, I'd like to know if you think it's worth the upgrade.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to bed…

The Nexon compact SUV was showcased by Tata Motors at the 2016 Auto Expo. Now the sub-4 metre compact SUV continues to be tested ahead of its launch. Tata Nexon will be launched in the Indian market sometime during 2017.
Now a fully-camouflaged Tata Nexon was caught testing in Pune. It seems like the compact SUV spied was in pre-production avatar. Engineers and designers still seem to be playing around with the headlight and tail lamp designs.
Powering the Nexon will be a 1.2-litre Revotron turbocharged engine. While an optional 1.5-litre RevoTorq diesel engine will also be offered. These are the same engine options that are also shared by Tata's Zest and Bolt models. Nexon will receive optional manual transmission and AMT units.
In terms of safety, Tata Nexon will be equipped with a host of features. Dual airbags, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) will be on offer in the compact SUV. Recently, Tata Motors patented their engine stop/start system, which could also be used.
Once launched the Tata Nexon will compete in a crowded segment in India. Nexon will have to face the Ford EcoSport, Mahindra TUV3OO, and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Expect the Nexon by Tata to be priced extremely competitively in the country.

Dennis Rodman's agent says the former NBA star did not take any payment from the North Korean government during his trip to the country. NBA Commissioner David Stern told CNN this week that Rodman was influenced by "a flash of North Korean money" to stage an exhibition game in Pyongyang. He also sang "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game.

The doctor is okay. It's the rudeness of the office staff especially the chubby lady with freckles on her face. Her rudeness caused me to spend my own money to see a different physician when I need one even though I have a medical insurance. At least there I was accommodated. She would schedule you for an appointment, but the schedule is not happening. I even heard her saying that I wanted to be given a VIP treatment when I tried to insist my scheduled appointment. I didn't want to be given a VIP treatment, we were just trying to keep our appointment because we still had a lot of things to do including picking up my kid in school. This was my second encounter with her, the first was when she told me to just spend my own money to visit a different doctor because she had no schedule available for me the coming days saying it in a very rude way, yet she was always insisting that I need to have my blood drawn for testing and and others but she couldn't attend to something really important and urgent. She just had no schedules for them. Wait until you die! That's why we just transferred to a different provider.

A great live performance is something you'll be able to describe to your kids someday, unlike the way they looked midbirth. Scream along to your favorites with this GrouponLive deal to see Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Congress Theater. For $40, you get two tickets for general admission on Friday, March 15, at 8 p.m. (up to an $81.60 value, including all fees). Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
As American as a Statue of Liberty on cinder blocks, Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd harness pride that has been ripening beneath the Mason-Dixon Line, regaling crowds with a catalog of hits permanently bricked into the national lexicon. From "Sweet Home Alabama" to "Free Bird," the memorable songs of Skynyrd have permeated generations of radio waves, homecoming parades, and rural moon landings. The band tours behind their most recent album, Last of a Dyin' Breed, which sizzles with fresh cuts such as "Good Teacher" that sound just as rascally and familiar as fan favorites "That Smell" and "What's Your Name." Longstanding core members Johnny Van Zant, Gary Rossington, and Rickey Medlocke lead the charge while welcoming former Black Crowes bassist Johnny Colt into the Skynryd family fold.
Lynyrd Skynyrd—"Sweet Home Alabama" (Live 2011)
####Congress Theater With its gargantuan ballroom space, the Congress Theater is just as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the ears. The former movie palace, which boasts a curved upper deck lined with red-velvet seats, beckons concertgoers to its lushly vintage confines for country-music shows, bluegrass festivals, and electronic-music performances. Regardless of the act, audience members revel beneath an ornately decorated domed ceiling that's perfect for jetpack escapes when the dance floor gets too crowded. The theater also is branching out into its surrounding neighborhood by filling attached storefronts with restaurants, small grocers, and other community partners.

I like short, clean cut hair styles!
Have an opinion?
Long enough to flip but not too long
also, have you seen orlando bloom's hair? nit is luscious.
It all depends on the girl. Some girls like only short hair on guys while others like it long. It also depends on you as well. Just because she likes the cut doesn't mean that you have to like.
One of my best friends had hair long enough to flip to the side and he liked it a lot, but the new girl in his life didn't. She persuaded him to shave his head and he did it. I can tell that he doesn't like it because he told me and by the look on his face when he saw it being shaved.
Keep it the way it is. Change it when you are ready. Not because a girl tells you to.
I asked a somehow similar question before it could be useful for you:
And for you because you are so young I recommend footballer hairstyle its very popular these days. Sergio "Kun" Agüero and Marco Rues are two good examples.
Also I recommend you to watch Slikhaar TV on YouTube here their link :

Congratulations Tyler
Tyler Hogan Starting keeper for the Mako U-14 boys team for making the ODP region team, TJ will be traveling now to Alabama to continue his quest to maybe one day be the Goal Keeper for the US national team. TJ Just turned 13 and is one of the younger members of the U-14 Squad. I am not really sure what his Mom feeds him but this boy is almost 6 feet tall already.
Tyler is a very bright young man that gets nothing but good grades in school and spends the rest of his time off at the soccer fields training or watching his sister play , she is also a member of the Mako family and another great player as well.
TJ`s dedication and hard work to reach his goals is second to none, he gives me his best in every practice and loves to work with other keepers that will push him to work hard, he can level up in practice with the U15 and U17 keepers, he has no fear of the ball and loves to ruin the strikers day by making great saves. I am very proud of his progress and his achievements on the field and away from the field. TJ is won lots of tournaments with the team, has a bunch of clean sheets ( No scores at all ) but the real win here spells T.E.C.H.N.I.Q.U.E . When is time for him to perform he understands and knows how to do the job. More to learn for sure.

|Before (?) 3,600 - 2,500 BC
|Ggantija phase of prehistoric Maltese
|UNESCO World Heritage status:
|Part of "Megalithic Temples of Malta", 1980 (extension in 1992), No.132bis
One of world's oldest stone structures is Mnajdra - a group of three prehistoric temples which were built with great skill many centuries before Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge. Prehistoric people had truly great abilities - it seems that these temples have been planned and aligned according to the Sun, serving as a kind of calendar.
Advanced prehistoric culture
It is not known where they came from - but around 5200 BC there came skilled farmers to Malta. They were not the first people on these islands, but earlier hunters - gatherers could not survive on these small islands after they extirpated the exotic animals of these small islands and disappeared.
Prehistoric farmers of Malta though were a lot more succesful and developed a local culture which for some time was more avanced than other known cultures of the world.
These people created some of world's oldest stone structures and we can only wonder: how could they make such sophisticated buildings with their limited resources and prehistoric technologies?
Construction of the unique temples in Malta started around 3600 BC and abruptly ended around 2500 - 2400 BC due to unknown reasons.
Temples at the harbor?
We do not know the original number of prehistoric temples in Malta - some could be lost. But six complexes of these amazing structures have been preserved in a comparatively good shape and since 1992 (Ggantija - since 1980) are included in UNESCO World Heritage list. One of them, the best preserved is Mnajdra.
Mnajdra temples are located near the rim of a seaside cliff at the southern coast of Malta. Exactly opposite, in the sea, some 5 kilometres from the temple is the small Filfla island but just some 500 m from Mnajdra is another outstanding prehistoric temple complex - Ħaġar Qim.
Five - six thousand years ago the level of Mediterranean was somewhat lower than now and here was a suitable place for harbor. Thus prehistoric seafarers had a great arrival to Malta with impressive temple on the cliff towering above the harbor.
Three structures
Mnajdra consists of three closely located but nevertheless separate structures - the upper, middle and lower temple. Each structure has its own build time and architecture but together they form a typical form of prehistoric Maltese temples - in plan they look similar to clover leaf.
To the east from the three temples are smaller chambers of unknown function.
There are no written sources about the origin and use of these structures but many finds testify that these were temples. Here have been found stone knives and rope holes for sacrificial animals as well as bones of such animals and other cult related items. Site contains no traces of human burials.
Temples have been made from coralline limestone - much harder material than in the nearby Ħaġar Qim, which is made mostly from the soft globigerina limestone. In general the harder coralline limestone was used for the structure of temples while the softer globigerina limestone for interiors, decorations.
Arches were not invented in these times and roofing was created either by corbels made from smaller stones or posts and lintels from enormous stone slabs.
Time of the construction in Mnajdra is not known with certainty - archaeologists here have relied on structural similarities between the Mnajdra temples and similar temples with known age in other areas of Malta.
Upper temple
This is the oldest temple, built in the Ggantija phase: in the time period between 3600 and 3000 BC. This temple has three apses - three semicircular rooms. One can enter in this temple through an interesting meghalitic feature - large stone slab with door cut in it, as if it was a piece of butter. Such entrance doors are typical for prehistoric temples in Malta. Its vaulted ceiling was resting on pillar stones. Small walls have been reconstructed, but the upright stones are original.
Middle temple
This is the newest temple... if one can say "newest" to a structure which was built in the time period between 3000 and 2500 BC. This temple has been formed from slabs which are covered with large, horizontal stone blocks. Entrance part had (now - broken) an impressive, 3 m tall stone with the door hewn in it. On the left wall of passage is very interesting engraving which shows the temple as it looked from the facade.
Lower temple
This temple was built in the early Tarxien phase, between 3150 and 2500 BC but parts of it could be older, even before 3600 BC. This could be the most impressive meghalitic structure in Malta.
The enormous forecourt has authentic stone benches - just the same where people could be sitting six thousand years ago. Entrance passage was covered with stone slabs - one is still standing. It is possible that roof of this structure was domed, made from corbelled stones. Inner structures have been largely restored.
This temple has some exciting features. Some stones are decorated with spiral carvings and dots, some monoliths are covered with hundreds of closely located dots.
These dots are linked to another peculiarity: it seems that prehistoric people aligned this temple astronomically: in spring and autumn equinox Sun shines through the main doorway along the major axis of temple. During the solstices the Sun shines on the edges of megaliths on both sides of doorway. And - now regarding the dots: one stone pillar in the temple has numerous small dots in a row - as if somebody has been counting days between equinoxes. There are 179 (with possible two more) dots in one line - as many as days between equinoxes.
Recent history
Mnajdra is one of symbols of Malta - it is also depicted on Maltese coins of 1, 2 and 5 cents. Temples have been explored since 1840 and there are numerous scientific articles and even books about Mnajdra and we can be sure that there will be many more in the future.
Weird and sad events took place here on 13th April 2001. Unknown people vandalised the temple during the night: some 60 stones of the Middle Temple and Lower Temple were toppled and damaged with crowbars as well as covered with graffiti - crosses drawn with chalk. It is possible that this crime was commited by an occult sect, possibly under the full moon of Good Friday, the 13th.
Happily the modern restoration technologies including use of reversible hydraulic lime allowed to restore the stones. There rised a discussion that the unique Maltese temples should be closed for public but nevertheless in 2002 the temple was reopened to the visitors.
In 2007 - 2009 here and over the nearby Ħaġar Qim were built protective tents to protect them from elements - Sun light and direct heat, wind and rain.

Variable susceptance excitation control for dynamic performance improvement of a stand-alone wind turbine induction generator system
Isolated wind farms employ simple squirrel cage induction generators driven by variable speed wind turbines. Lacking control capability, such generation can contribute very little to network support. Wind turbines mostly do not take part in voltage and frequency control and if a disturbance occurs, the turbines may be disconnected and reconnected when normal operation has been resumed. From operation viewpoint, this is definitely not acceptable. A primary reason for the rigidity of operation is the lack of excitation adaptation under variable wind conditions. This article proposes incorporation of a variable capacitance controller at the generator terminal which will automatically adjust the needed excitation. Further improvement of transient profile of the stand-alone wind turbine generator has been proposed through inclusion of additional stabilising control. Simulation studies show that the proposed excitation controller with additional PID circuit provides very good transient profile following reasonable input torque variations.

Nuppeppo were animated mounds of flesh stripped from bone, amorphous piles of rotting, stinking skin and tissue.

Nuppeppo were not particularly fast or durable, but if they were killed, its Tainted flesh would reanimate again within three days unless it was burned. [1]
