Back in 1995 I was sweet-talked by my then boyfriend into seeing the movie Strange Days, a sci-fi flick (directed by James Cameron, produced by Kathryn Bigelow, staring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Lewis.) I'm not a big sci-fi fan…more the chick-flick type…but I must admit this movie left it's mark and has
As I peeled myself off the walls of the movie theatre and made my exit, I fantasized about how incredible it would be if a technology like that actually existed…and how it could (radical thought) be used for good. I imagined we could use it as an instant empathy download when we're at our wits end trying to figure out why someone behaves the way they do—like a short-cut compassion-creator that would otherwise require an exhaustive 20 mile-walk in someone's moccasins.
Cut to April 7th, 2013 when I woke up to an avalanche of e-mails, text messages, voice mails, and Facebook notices alerting me to the fact that fact is stranger than fiction…and Strange Days are, indeed, here. In a LA Times article I read about a group of Japanese neuroscientists from ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto created a breakthrough computer program that gives us a view into each other's dreams.
The researchers hooked three volunteers to electroencephalograph machines (EEG—or Lie Detector machines) to observe the electrical activity of their neurons. At the same time these volunteers were sequestered into a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine to track their dreaming brain's blood flow. Once the subjects fell asleep the EEG readings displayed indications of hypnagogic hallucination (early stage of dreaming). The researchers woke the subjects every six minutes (about 200 times) to get verbal accounts of their dreamscapes.
The volunteers' groggily mumbled things like: "I saw a person and I hid a key in a place between a chair and a bed and someone took it."
As we do in the realm of dream interpretation, the researchers focused on the nouns in these descriptions. They combined the nouns into categories represented by images — a human face, a key, and furniture. They wrote a computer program based on the feedback from the MRI and the EEG to find links between brain activity patterns and specific images. Soon thereafter, the computers themselves learned to decode dream imagery with an average accuracy of more than 60%.
This leads to the awareness that if we can "see" what we are dreaming, then we can see what we are thinking (and feeling) in our waking lives, as well…eerily similar to Strange Days, don't you think?
Even if people like Ralph Fiennes' character take advantage of this technology, I think it can't help but be a catalyst to assist us to become a more empathic, compassionate, aware, even….dare I say, enlightened civilization. Strange (in a good way) days are definitely here.

The Panel: Hands up
They say the state of your handbag says a lot about your state of mind, but your hands say so much more. And, at this time of year, they're screaming.
It's a tough time of year, with the glitter of December long forgotten and the remainder of the winter stretching out ahead. Of course, the weather doesn't help, and the skin on your hands is so thin that it shows wear and tear and distress very quickly. Worse, when your hands get dried out, chapped and sorry-looking, they can put years on you, as the hands are one of the first places to show age.
What can help, then, is a regular application of hand cream. By moisturising and softening the skin, the harsh look is taken off the hands, and, for long-term benefits, it's a case of making the ritual a habit.
A dab of hand cream only takes a second to apply and your choice does not need to be something over-rich that requires you to leave long minutes of soaking-in time, though this variety does makes a good bedtime option. Using hand cream is a small effort, but even minor results speak volumes.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream Unscented, €5.72, available nationwide This is a classic hand cream and deservedly so. It's very well priced, it does what it says and it's entirely inoffensive, smell-wise. The thick, almost ointment-like cream was devised for fishermen, they say, whose hands are almost constantly exposed to the cold and the wet, which would wash off anything thinner in consistency. "This stuff is great under gloves if you're out walking," said a panellist. "Your body heat seems to boost the effect and I arrive home with soft, smooth hands."
Dr Hauschka Hand Cream, €16.95, selected department stores, health stores and pharmacies nationwide This hand cream is not without scent, but it's not a perfumed scent so much as the distinctive smell of Dr Hauschka, which is a bit musky, a bit health-food shop. It's an almost liquid product that is deceptively effective. With sweet-almond and jojoba oils, it's one of this brand's hero products. "A good option for keeping for a quick top-up by the front door," one panellist said, "because of the speed at which it rubs in."
Elemis Pro-Collagen Hand and Nail Cream, €32.50, Harvey Nichols, Dundrum Town Centre, D16; selected salons nationwide Products from this brand are never cheap, but they always give a bang for your buck. This hand cream doesn't disappoint, with its ability to feel rich but not heavy and the way it makes a difference after a single application. "I'm not saying the lines on my hands disappeared or were diminished, but use of this definitely made them seem softer," said a panellist, "maybe because the colour of my hands improved and the skin was more pliable." BEST ON-THE-GO GLOVES L'Occitane Almond Smooth Hands, €10.50, L'Occitane shops nationwide The small tube means this is a great one to put in a coat pocket or keep in the car, though the price isn't rock bottom given the size of the tube. It's a very pleasantsmelling cream, not as marzipan-y as you might imagine, and it has softening almond milk and almond protein, which moisturise and brighten weary paws. "I've tried several of this brand's hand creams, and they are all nice to use," said a panellist. "I'm not sure why they don't make a bigger tube, but it is a handy size."
Trilogy Rose Hand Cream, €14.95, Arnotts; selected pharmacies and health stores nationwide With rose essential oil and shea and cocoa butters, this sounds like it should be an extremely oily product, but it's not. Instead, it's a thin lotion that soaks in extremely rapidly and leaves a nice sheen — not a shimmer — and a faint smell of roses that is not at all sweet or sickly. "This was great for my nails as well as my hands," a panellist said. "They were battered after a dose of long-wear nail polishes, but this really revived them."

SANTA ANA — Huntington Beach Councilman Jim Silva appeared headed for victory early today in the 2nd District race for supervisor, moving toward one of the most sweeping leadership changes on the Board of Supervisors in nearly 15 years.
By a healthy margin, Silva was beating Huntington Beach Mayor Linda Moulton Patterson in one of the most expensive and hotly contested races in Orange County's general election.
Silva was hesitant to declare victory, but the weary candidate was moving about his crowded Westin South Coast Plaza hotel suite flashing the thumbs-up sign.
"I'm very excited, but my heart just hasn't told me I've won yet," he said. "When it does, I'll have a glass of champagne."

AN ISLAND paradise is up for grabs at a bargain price as administrators attempt to finalise the controversial estate of a millionaire philanthropist.
Swipe founder Eldon Foote made his fortune selling cleaning products to ordinary Australians, later repaying the favour through his large donations to charity.
When he died from lung cancer almost nine years ago, he left behind wills in Canada, the British Virgin Islands and Norfolk Island - where his clifftop residence is now being marketed for between $2.5 million and $3 million.
Just a few years ago the 4ha property was thought to have been worth between $6 million and $10 million.
Norfolk Island Real Estate agent Dave Weekly said administrators were now keen to offload the property after extensive legal action.
Canadian-born Foote was married three times and had six children.
A former Queen's Counsel, he signed the three wills on the same date and included a "poison pill'' clause, stripping everything but $10 of any promised inheritance from beneficiaries who challenged the contents.
While family members were reported to have been left various amounts of cash, investments, property and personal effects, the bulk of the $US130 million ($124.6 million) estate was left to charities in Melbourne and Canada.
A number of relatives sought a way around the poison pill with a legal fight launched to determine Foote's place of residence at the time of his death - and thus which country's laws applied in the distribution of the estate.
But in 2010 a Canadian court ruled Foote lived in Norfolk Island and thus the money would go to the charities.
Mr Weekly said family members, including Foote's third wife Anne, who still lived in the sprawling island mansion she shared with Eldon, were now keen to see closure.
Describing Foote as a private man who kept to himself but had "Norfolk at heart'', Mr Weekly said the property was the most significant holding on the island.
Foote built the home in 1972, shipping in the construction materials including New Zealand and Canadian timber and Italian tiles.
Named Foot Lane, Norfolk dialect for "why not?'', the property includes a guest cabin, separate three-bedroom manager's cottage, a large resort-style inground pool, stables and four fenced paddocks.
The two-storey main home is 1000sqm with nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a massive library and an indoor squash court.
Interior designs include a mountain lodge look in the living room, Polynesian-styled bar and a Japanese-themed bedroom.
Mr Weekly expected to find a buyer from Australia or New Zealand, describing both countries as being within easy reach by air.
Direct flights operate several times a week between Norfolk and Brisbane, Sydney or Auckland, with flight times of between two and three hours.

Tokitowa will make players choose between two heroines to play as
When Tokittowa (Time and Eternity) launches on the PlayStation 3, players will have to choose a main character to play as. You're still going to play as a female protagonist, but now you'll have a choice.
After Princess Toki's husband-to-be is killed at their wedding, the red-haired heroine seeks justice and takes on the culprits. But will you play as Toki? Or will you instead choose her blonde-haired alter-ego Towa? From the sound of things, this will be a pretty major decision as one of the two will disappear.
Tokitowa is scheduled to launch in Japan on October 11. There's still no word on whether or not the game will come to North America, but let's hope it does. Seriously, that glorious hand-drawn animation, you guys!

World Movies celebrates Halloween with chest-thumping thrills for the ultimate Halloween scare-fest. Hideo Nakata's Japanese smash hit, Ring, went on to inspire a Hollywood remake with Naomi Watts, but it's the original urban myth about a soul-sucking video tape that reigns supreme. Likewise, The Grudge, about a supernatural house with an axe to grind, was another Japanese horror hit that went Hollywood, while South Korean monster movie, The Host, unleashes terror on the city of Seoul. Finally, intriguing Hong Kong psychological thriller, The Eye, finishes the ride with a supernatural suicide.
Ring (Japan, 1998)
This horror story surrounding an ominous video is a spine-chilling film that will leave you captivated right until its shocking conclusion. This is the cult phenomenon that has inspired two sequels and a Hollywood remake.
The Grudge (Japan, 2003)
The inspiration behind two Hollywood remakes, Takashi Shimizu's The Grudge is a chilling reinvention of the traditional western ghost story that practically resonates with dark atmospheric tension. A significant benchmark in the Japanese horror genre.
The Host (South Korea, 2006)
This South Korean horror flick by director Joon-ho Bong is not for the faint of heart. When a giant, unidentified monster emerges from the waters of the Han River, death and destruction follows in its wake, including the abduction of young girl, Hyun-seo. When she is regurgitated by the monster in its gory lair, Hyun-seo dusts off her mobile phone and gets a message to her grieving father. This sparks her entire family into action, but their wild rescue effort is hampered by the Korean and US governments who are eager to brush the incident under the rug.
The Eye (Hong Kong, 2002)
A spine-tingling psycho-thriller from the Pang Brothers. A young blind woman receives a cornea transplant, and with it, the ability to see much more than she bargained for. A huge hit in its homeland, the film inspired a sequel and soon a Hollywood remake.

Too shallow for whales Jacques, I was the only whale here this morning!
are you sure you see 5 turtles and no 5 whales?
Thanks snooker, we are so lucky to be here.
Lovely area.
Hi Ank, it blends right in with the bottom. I will show it later, I have to wait 5 hours until my next two pictures. Thanks.Hi gem, thanks.Hi Jiggy, thanks, just a lucky day.
What a beautiful home! And the boathouse if perfect, too.I love the angle on this photo. But, I will wait to see the turtle. It's hiding here! LOLThanks, Robbie!
WOW!!! (But can't pick out a turtle either. :D)
A beautiful photo but sorry I can't find the turtle, there is something what it maybe is, but I'm not sure. Thanks
I was in the boat early this morning and took this shot of dad's house with our cottage attached on the right. The building below is the dock house. The water was so clear, there is a turtle on the bottom near the middle of the picture, cannot really pick it out. I managed to get closer and get a shot, will show later. This weather is better than our whole summer was! The bay is full of Sargasso seaweed, you can see some on the left. I saw about 6 turtles , however trying to hold the camera, hold on to a rail and focus is not easy, National Geographic must spend hours finding the right shot!

Government is abducting citizens and implanting their brains. Everyone needs to get this information. This is a collection of torrents with educational material on what is going on and how your freedom is in extreme jeopardy. Cell-phone like technology is now being implanted into people\\\'s brains without their knowledge or consent which allows the encoding and decoding of brainwaves, which are then modulated and transmitted over a wireless link. The remote station processes the signals and can decode your visual and auditory senses, thoughts, and other neurological and biological data in real-time. When you are chipped like this and they can read your every though, you are totally owned. This is happening everywhere right now and it is totally covert, yet easily the greatest human rights violation of all time. In a short number of years or decades, the free human race as we have known it may cease to exist thanks to this outrageous mass violation of human rights.

Now you can practice your ear-splitting rendition of Moon River everywhere you go! Just plug in Panasonic's latest SD Card Karaoke Microphone into any television set, and you're all set to rock the house. While the microphone will have some songs built-in, most of the songs and images will be stored on SD cards. To our knowledge, this is the only Karaoke Microphone with an SD card slot. We think there may be a market in Japan for SD cards already pre-loaded with karaoke songs, which, while not surprising, still keeps us awake at night. It looks like this is available only in Japan, so we're safe from late-night screeches of N'Sync songs from our next-door neighbors... for now.

I entirely sustain Steve's (and John Goerzen's...and Joey Hess') position here. Whatever we think about the brokeness of relying on User-Agent for webapps, this is a reality we have to face, and John explained very well why hacks to work this around do not work in the real world of users who don't know what a damn User-Agent line is (or a UA plugin, which was suggested as an alternate hack). Sure, there are tons of our provided browsers that are "broken" the same way on the same websites. But none of them claim to be one of the two most populars browsers in the world. Really, can't we fix that User-Agent string? Does the Mozilla Foundation have a clear policy about this? It's probably not as hard as solving the brand name issue (which I still think is possible to fix....if only we could take time and energy to come back on it....by pyutting together in the same room at the same time a few key Mozilla folks and a few key Debian folks). After all, what does prevent us to just put "Firefox" back in the default User-Agent? We'll see if some Mozilla person raises an RC bug and then we would talk..:-)...That would be the pragmatic approach.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Louisiana
Hello…and thanks for taking my question.
My mother died last year and in her will she left 60% share of her home to her 3 children (two sisters and myself) and the other 40% was left to her husband (our step-father). He now wants to purchase the 60% share from us. After getting the house appraised can we simply do a 'For Sale by Owner' contract for an agreed upon price? Also, will there be any title, deed, insurance or tax issues that will need to be addressed?
Asked on 6/26/13, 5:48 am

Adam Lambert The Law Office of Adam S. Lambert
You could do a simple Cash Sale or even a Quitclaim Deed. Still, it has to be in the correct form and has to be filed into the public records. You should hire a local attorney to handle it for you. Any closing attorney or real estate attorney can do it quickly and simply for you.

Constrained Optimal Power Flow Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Optimal power flow is an optimizing tool for operation and planning of modern power systems. This paper presents the solution of the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The main goal of this paper is to verify the viability of using PSO problem composed by different objective functions. This OPF problem involves the optimization of various types of objective functions while satisfying a set of operational and physical constraints while keeping the power outputs of generators, bus voltages, shunt capacitors/reactors and transformers tap settings in their limits.

Awesome Makeup Choose Shades Carefully!
By Crystal
from FORT ERIE
I purchased this foundation in another kit which is not available, however the foundation is so remarkable, I'll review it here.The two colours in the medium kit I received are very close in shade, and fairly light, so in the summer I will need a darker colour, hopefully available then. This foundation is one of two, both SKINN, that are beautiful , the other being Plasma. This makeup is lighter weight and blends best. It is definitely light coverage, which is all I want, mainly for colour. I find the finish very natural and comfortable all day, and it looks just as good at the end of the day as the beginning. I'd say that's pretty great!One caution though is to blend well one area at a time because it "sets" and doesn't want to be played with afterwards!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent Foundation and Skin Care
By Kare
from Niagara Region
I absolutely love the Fusion Nourishing Treatment Foundation and skincare. Auto-Delivery for over three years on the skincare every 90 days. Makeup is the only one I use in the winter and summer without having to adjust. This has definitely changed my mind about flipping back and forth with other skincare and makeup products. Thank you
Excellent coverage but no too heavy

from Calgary
This was my first purchase of Skinn cosmetics, and I am very, very pleased with this set. The foundation is very good - it is probably the best foundation I've ever used. It provides light coverage (which is what I need), but can probably be built up if necessary. It looks very natural. My skin has improved since I've started using this set. I like the eye shadows and lip glosses too. I'm very impressed with the quality of this makeup. I would pay full price for any of these products.Thank you Dmitri!!!!

After my one star review of another make up line, I am writing to sing the praises of SKINN cosmetics. The kit was truly more than I anticipated. The plasma foundation and treatment corrector do just that. I looked in the mirror an hour after application, and my skin looked better than before I applied make up. That has never happened to me before. It's a make up that is also a skin care treatment! Then I tried the eye shadows. I could not believe how wonderful the colours were and how they went on (I finally found the perfect colour after 50 years...haha). I wish I could post a before and after pic. I can't wait until Dimitri comes back again.. :)

Found my perfect foundation
By Marjie
from Saskatchewan
I bought this kit specifically for the foundation. I already have, use and love Dimitri's eyeshadows and lipsticks from prior purchases. I have been searching for a foundation that is not matte. I have always envied middle aged ladies who have a dewy youthful appearance to their complexion - something I have never been successful achieving with any previous foundation. This foundation is wonderful! I use the brush as recommended and I apply it with a very light hand. I bought medium and am able to create the perfect color by combining the two shades. I previously bought the cc cream in medium but found it was a little dark for my complexion, however the medium in the fusion foundation is perfect for me. I am middle-aged, have light brown hair and a medium slightly freckled complexion. Two tips: let your face cream absorb before applying and let your foundation set before apply your blush.

from Barrie Ont
What a super bundle! the colours of the eye shadows are really wearable &as usual they blend & stay on all day.They don't get any better than these also love the lipsticks so easy to blend colours together to get the exact shade & they last.The foundations are another winner especially when applied with the brush from light to complete coverage depending on the very easy application.Another winner from Dimitri well done!!!!
By Marcia
from MEDICINE HAT
I bought these products months ago and just love them. I was worried that I wouldn't use all the eye shadows but I have been experimenting with them and I just love how they last the whole day .I don't know if I will use all the lip glosses but that's only because I don't think they all suit my fair skin, but I will give them all a go. The foundation is the best I have ever tried. I bought the ivory,porcelain which is great on my skin. Wish this would be on auto delivery as a show stopper n the future.

Pleasantly surprised!
By Happygirl
from Kingston, Ontario
I was so happy with this kit. I love the two shades makes it nice to mixing to get a more exact shade. I purchased the brush to put on the foundation, and I am so pleased I did. I was surprised by the amount of coverage I got with the lack of a made up look. The concealer is lovely and goes on so well. I'm not much of a lipstick wearer, so I am still experimenting with those. The eye shadows are lovely. The colours and so nice, they blend well together and I love the finished look. I would definitely recommend this kit. This is my first big makeup purchase from SKINN, but I would make another based on the quality of the product.

Worst foundation I've ever used.
By Unsatisfied Customer
from Edmonton
Well for starters, I wish there was an option to give no stars at all, unfortunately for me, there isn't. I am used to putting quality on my skin and despite all the other positive reviews, this kit is not quality. I've used many brands of foundation from drug store to high end department store and this does not even belong on the shelf in the Dollar Store. The foundation is so liquidy and runny that it's almost the same consistency as water. It made my skin feel greasy and it had a very cheap odour to it. It's shameful actually that for the price, Dmitri, would stamp his name and brand on it and even allow it out the door to customers. The pigment in the eyeshadow is terrible and it's very talcy. You can feel the overpowering amount of talc in it. And the mascara has got to be worse than any mascara I have ever used in my entire life and that is saying a lot because normally I use mascara of very high quality but thought id give this a try for a change. If you want your eyes to burn and to look like a taco on before you're even done putting on your makeup, be my guest but you'll regret it. Skinn should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off with this atrocious excuse for cosmetics. Shame on you Skinn!!! FYI, I'm under 30. As a younger woman trying this, I would NOT recommend it to anyone my age. If other people like it, it must be meant for a more mature customer because it's certainly not created for younger skin.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone 🙂 There are really plenty of things to be grateful for, so don't forget to appreciate what you have– be it the love of family and friends, support of your peers, or hey, bags *woohoo!!*
And now, a compact bag review for Thanksgiving! I stared at this Anya Hindmarch Courtney Lady Printed Canvas and Leather Clutch
and there's just something about it that drew me in. It could be those eyes, it could be the color. But then again it could just be that I happen to like printed bags and Anya Hindmarch clutches a lot of late 🙂
I just think that we women should deviate from our usual fashion story of carrying nondescript day clutches (if we carry day clutches). This would without a doubt add that perfect punch to any light- colored conservative or more "subdued" outfit.
This would definitely be a nice Thanksgiving purchase, don't you think? Something on the "unusual" side for a change 🙂 The Anya Hindmarch Courtney Lady Printed Canvas and Leather Clutch is available for purchase now.

U.S. urges Syria not to limit IAEA probe
The United States on Thursday welcomed a U.N. check of a Syrian site said to have harboured an almost-built secret nuclear reactor before Israel destroyed it, but urged Damascus not to restrict the investigation. Syria gave International Atomic Energy Agency experts a good look at the site during a four-day factfinding trip, they said on their return from Syria on Wednesday.
The initial scope of the IAEA probe was limited by what diplomats said was Damascus\' refusal to let the inspectors search two or three other sites for any signs of a source of fuel for the reactor, or relevant equipment or facilities.
\"We welcome the inspection as a first step and stand ready to support the IAEA as it continues its investigation into Syria\'s clandestine nuclear activities,\" said Gregory Schulte, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. nuclear watchdog. \"We call on Syria to fully cooperate with the IAEA and in no way hinder the investigation by refusing the IAEA unfettered access to any site or information needed for the investigation,\" he said in a statement, cited by Reuters.
Washington claims Syria built a camouflaged graphite reactor based on a North Korean design, with Pyongyang\'s assistance.
Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Shara told Lebanon\'s Al-Manar television that his country opened al-Kibar to the IAEA so it could see for itself \"the allegations are forged and false\". But he said the IAEA had a mandate to \"visit the site in question only\".

Legal Question in DUI Law in South Carolina
Can a DUI case be reopened by the prosecution after it has been expunged?
I was arrested and charged with a DUI in South Carolina in the month of January 2012. Later the prosecution offered to lower the charge to reckless driving and the original DUI charge was Nolle Prossed. I plead guilty to reckless driving in court. Thirty days after the disposition the court ordered that all records relating to the DUI arrest be expunged. Is there any reason to worry that the posecution might reopen the DUI case at a later time?
Asked on 8/16/12, 1:53 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
John Jackson Law Office of John A. Jackson, P.C.
No, they will not reopen the case. Check with the court to make sure your records were expunged though. Sometimes that does not happen automatically and you just need to follow-up. Good luck.

text: [The CCFO answers back to exhorbitant estimates to return the steam to service ... webmaster]With talk of what to do next with the train tracks, it seems that we may have kissed the Wakefield steam train goodbye. But amid new debates heating up in the region, it appears discussions might not be quite finished. New facts continue to surface on the state of soil stabilization and its purported $50 million dollar price tag."If there was a study presented, it didn't have that number in it," said Louise Boudrias, President of the Corporation du chemin de fer de l'Outaouais (CCFO).It's been almost a month since the Low Down published a story stating it would cost approximately $50 million to fix the soil along the train tracks from Gatineau to Chelsea. The information first appeared in Le Droit, which reported that a study done by the Ministère des Transports et du Québec (MTQ) was presented to CCFO officials and Outaouais mayors. The study allegedly included the $50 million estimate. After a bit of head scratching on the part of several officials – where is this study to be found? – the Low Down did some light digging.According to Boudrias, the meeting in Quebec City in late March included an estimate of what the cost might be, but it is almost June and still none of the stakeholders has seen the much-discussed study that would likely kill the popular tourist train.

Super Rugby
Highlanders rut 'no easy fix'
April 12, 2013
More frustration for Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph © Getty Images
There was yet more frustration for Jamie Joseph but immense satisfaction for Jake White after the Highlanders succumbed 19-30 to the Brumbies in their Super 15 match at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Friday night.
The Highlanders slumped to their seventh consecutive loss, and their fifth at home, in their worst start since the competition began in 1996.
The Brumbies gained their sixth win in eight games and, with 33 points, they now lead the tournament although the Chiefs, who were the joint leaders, play on Saturday.
"I don't think there is any simple recipe to get out of the rut," Joseph said. "We've just got to get over the gain line, clear the ball quickly and score some tries. We were up against quality opposition and we could not afford to leak a soft early try or concede penalties," he said of the slow start after which the Highlanders trailed 0-10 after just six minutes.
The Highlanders' season was encapsulated by the non-award of what the crowd thought was a try to wing Hosea Gear just before half-time.
"When a team is down on confidence, those little things need to fall your way. Mentally, the mindset of the players would have been a lot different had the try been awarded."
Instead of trailing 12-17 at half-time, the Highlanders would have been level at 17-all or ahead 19-17.
"Those sorts of decisions haven't gone our way this season so we have to work harder and not rely on decisions like that to get us through games."
Joseph was particularly pleased with some individual performances, particularly those of run-on debutants TJ Ioane, Hayden Parker and Fumiaki Tanaka.
"I thought TJ showed the vigour and mindset of a seasoned Super 15 player. He took his chance and I thought the loose forwards as a whole were good. Hayden acquitted himself well in his first start, as did Fumiaki and Aaron (Smith) did well when he came on in the second spell."
The Highlanders' injury toll increased by one during the game, with wing Kade Poki leaving the field in pain just before half-time after re-injuring his ribs.
Meanwhile, Brumbies coach Jake White allowed himself a quiet smile after their convincing win.
"I'm satisfied, particularly after the way we played against the Kings last week in Canberra when we allowed them to score a late try to draw the game. There were 10 All Blacks in the Highlanders side and any win in New Zealand is always massive. We've prided ourselves on our defence. There were plenty of threats in the Highlanders' backline and we contained them except for that late try."
White had special praise for senior players Stephen Moore and George Smith who, along with captain Ben Mowen, formed a strong leadership group in the Brumbies pack.
"I was really proud of the improvement we made from last week. The Super 15 is a marathon, not a sprint, and wins like this add up at the end of the regular season."
The Highlanders' task does not get any easier as they play the Crusaders in Christchurch next Friday night. The Brumbies play the Queensland Reds in Brisbane next Saturday.

To date, the U.S. has refused to engage what it considers Iraq's rogue neighbors — Syria and Iran — for help in containing the violence. Iran because of its continued defiance in building a nuclear program, Syria because of its support of Islamic extremists in Israel and Lebanon.
But since 2003, nearly 3,000 American soldiers and an estimated 50,000 Iraqis have died in Iraq either in fighting or in insurgent attacks on civilians and foreign targets. The violence, mostly sectarian in nature, has led to worldwide criticism of how the Bush administration has handled the war in Iraq and its aftermath.
U.S. officials have repeatedly blamed Syria and Iran for allowing arms and fighters to flow largely unchecked over their borders into Iraq. But in the wake of a mid-term election that saw many Democratic victories fueled in part by the war and with the departure of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who resigned Nov. 8 after five years in the president's Cabinet, the chorus of experts saying the U.S. should revisit its Syria policy has grown.
The president has said he would resist any push to embrace Syria without a pledge from the Assad government to stop harboring Hezbollah terrorists and to close its borders to Iraq insurgents and former Baath Party leaders.
"If they want to sit down at the table with the United States, it's easy — just make some decisions that will lead to peace, not to conflict," the president has said of Syria, according to The New York Times.
To embrace the regime would be a major shift in current U.S. policy toward Syria. But whether the president can afford to leave the Damascus government out of the discussion, with or without such promises, is currently a hot topic in Washington.
The Iraqi Study Group concluded that Syria's involvement in the process is crucial. The country, the panel said, must be included if not to help, then to stop hindering progress.
"The Syrian role is not so much to take active measures as to countenance malign neglect: the Syrians look the other way as arms and foreign fighters flow across their border into Iraq, and former Baathist leaders find a safe haven within Syria," the report reads.
The group also said that Syria's involvement could lead to stability elsewhere in the Middle East, indirectly benefiting the Iraq situation.
In a Wall Street Journal report, Edward Djerejian, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria and part author of the Iraq Study Group report, said the U.S. should try to persuade Syria to end its funneling of arms to Hezbollah, pressure Hamas into recognizing Israel's right to exist and encourage the country — led by an arm of the Baathist Party — to use its influence with Sunni extremists in Iraq.
In return for Syria's assistance, the panel supports a "carrots and sticks" approach, with the U.S. encouraging its close ally Israel to open talks with Syria over the disputed Golan Heights, an area annexed during the 1967 Six Day War and one Syria has fought for decades to reclaim.
For its part, Syria has encouraged the Bush administration to take heed of the panel report, saying American acceptance of its government would "diminish hatred for the U.S. in the region."
"[I]f it failed to pick up the positive signals either in the report or in the Syrian welcome of what the report has contained, it (the U.S.) would remain drowned in the quagmire and the situation in the region and the entire world would remain unstable," Syria's ruling party's Al-Baath newspaper said, according to the Associated Press.
On Dec. 11, in what some analysts see as a Syrian effort to help bring stability to Iraq, Damascus kept its promise to restore full diplomatic ties with Iraq, reopening its embassy in Baghdad and accepting an Iraqi embassy in Damascus.
"This step means that Syria supports the political process as the basis to preserve Iraq's unity, regain its sovereignty and bring about the withdrawal of foreign forces from its territory," Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq Taha said at the Baghdad ceremony.
Whether or not President Bush will respond to Syria's overtures, or decide to engage Iran, and offer the two countries a seat at the Iraq planning table going forward has yet to be seen.
According to the White House Press Office, the president is expected to give a speech outlining a new plan for Iraq sometime early in January.

One concern I sometimes face when I think about yoga, or any type of spirituality practice, is that nothing will change once I leave the studio. It bugged me at the beginning of last August when school was about to start. I knew that the school year was going to face me with harder classes and a heavier workload than the year before. It's easy enough to be satisfied with myself on a yoga matt during a bright summer day, but when I'm in a classroom slouched over a desk completely immersed in my studies my tranquility is harder to maintain.Anyone who has tried postures that involve balancing on one foot know it's easier to stay balanced if the gaze is fixed on a still point. In the high stress environment of a University, things move quickly and it's difficult to find a still point.
The advice most often heard for stressful situations is "just breathe". Then maybe you do take those breathes, but it doesn't work because you shortly realize that the project is still due the following morning. This isn't vacation anymore.
From a yogic perspective, we know those deep breathes don't instantly solve your problems, in fact, they don't even make the situation less stressful. What the breathes do is make us let go of the inhibitors in our mind and body that we think serve us but actually hold us back.
It's an incredibly weird feeling to relax my muscles and slow my breathe during those hectic moments where it seems inappropriate. I feel a tingling up my spine that shoots out into my limbs with such a strong impulse I twitch a little. My first thought was that I should stop immediately. I need to shut these energies down. Now is not the time for this. But I was also curious what would happen if I continued. Maintaining this breath I looked around the room and saw I was living in a world of simplicity. My past and future are not with me. It is just the computer monitor and me. I can finish this report; the challenge is conquerable.
The first time I had this moment of clarity reminds me of the first yoga class I tried the balancing postures with my eyes closed. I stopped looking for a motionless spot in the room and turned my gaze inward. In my mind there was a peaceful center where all other energies dance around. I reached for that center and my breath became my still point.
My regular practice during the summer did not change my circumstance, but it did change me. I acquired the ability to find a still point even when the room is spinning. My breath is always available.

Mangaluru: MP Nalin Kumar Kateel held a press meet at the BJP office here on January 27.
Addressing the mediapersons Nalin Kumar Kateel said that the farmers in the DK district are facing problems due to the Kumki land. During the elections, the congress party had released the manifesto and promised to give the Kumki land to the farmers. But after the elections the revenue minister refused to give the Kumki land to the farmers. In 2013, when the Congress came to power in the state, we thought that the farmers will get the ownership rights over the Kumki land.
But the Minister for Revenue V Srinivas Prasad sent an affidavit to the court not to grant the ownership rights to farmers over the 'Kumki' lands. In the verdict the Court gave the rights to the Deputy commissioner to decide on the ownership rights over the Kumkiland.
If the congress government is with the farmers, they should have given the ownership rights to the farmers over the Kumki land. In 2013 we have issued a notification of providing ownership rights to the farmers over the Kumki land but it did not come into force. We are not trying to gain political mileage from this issue because CM Siddaramaiah has given us enough opportunities to win the ZP and TP elections. Our intention is to help the farmers in getting the ownership rights over the Kumki land.
If the farmers will not get the ownership rights BJP will intensify its agitation and a public awareness campaign will be organized on February 6, in Puttur.
When asked about the Yettinahole project Kateel said that we have given a small break because of elections but before the elections we will go to Kolar and discuss the issue with the people of Kolar. Now the people of Kolar have also understood that they will not get water from the Yettinahole project.
President DK BJP Pratap Simha Nayak, Krishna J Palemar, Lalaji Mendon, CaptGanesh Karnik, Sulochana Bhat, Sanjeeva Matandoor and others were also present.


text: The entire first N.E.R.D. album is a classic. "Lapdance" is a standout song. "Provider" and "Rock Star" are pretty hot tracks, but the whole album is a great listen start to finish. First time i met Pharrell, I was at Sound on Sound - Studio B - in New York City mixing an album for Cuban Link (Atlantic). Neptunes were working downstairs in Studio A on the first N.E.R.D. album and Pharrell and Chad came upstairs to say hello and talk about producing a song for Cuban Link's album (which they did and i mixed :-) Pharrell walks in with fuzzy white cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, tight blue jeans and a sequined T shirt, and they walked right into a room filled with straight up thugs. I mean, I always loved and respected Cuban Link and his crew but i would never want to be on the wrong side of them, and here walks in Pharrell, maybe the only person who could have walked in looking like that and not walked out with bruises at minimum. Pharrell proceeds to put a rough mix of "Lapdance" into the CD player, put it on the big speakers, BLAST it, and..... i swear to god.... dance in front of the console, facing the speakers, while Cuban and his crew sit on the back couches. And i mean Pharrell was doing some serious moves. Thank god the song was absolute fire. Song ends. Pharrell, Chad and Cuban Link have a short discussion about working together then Pharrell and Chad leave, and Cuban and his crew bust out laughing like "did that actually just happen". It was completely surreal, but it happened. I couple weeks later we did the song "Still Tellin Lies" with Cuban Link, which Neptunes produced and i mixed, and became a radio single and video. Thats one of my best studio stories. - Ken

Oil prices rose to near $94 a barrel in Asia as traders bet Europe will announce a plan later Wednesday that helps solve its debt crisis.
Benchmark crude for December delivery was up 52 cents at $93.69 a barrel at late afternoon Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.90, or 2.1 percent, to settle at $93.17 in New York on Tuesday.
Brent crude was up 54 cents at $111.46 a barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange in London.
Crude has soared 24 percent from $75 three weeks ago on expectations Europe will be able to contain its sovereign debt crisis. Investors will be closely watching a summit of European leaders later Wednesday for details of a comprehensive plan to limit damage from a possible Greek debt default.
Signs that U.S. crude demand remains sluggish weighed on oil prices.
The American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday that crude inventories rose 2.7 million barrels last week while analysts surveyed by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos., had predicted an increase of 200,000 barrels.
Inventories of gasoline added 153,000 barrels last week while distillates dropped 1.8 million barrels, the API said.
The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration reports its weekly supply data later Wednesday.
Growing investor optimism the U.S. economy will avoid a recession this year has helped crude surge this month. However, the Conference Board said Tuesday that consumer confidence plunged in October to the lowest level since March 2009.
"The consumer's psyche is at its lowest point since the depths of the Great Recession" of 2008-2009, energy trader and consultant The Schork Group said in a report. "Given that consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic growth, that is worrisome."
In other Nymex trading, heating oil rose 1.4 cents to $3.07 per gallon and gasoline futures gained 1.1 cents at $2.68 per gallon. Natural gas advanced 2.9 cents at $3.69 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Secret Sessions Presents:
The Nth Power, KONG!
69 Kilmarnock Street
Boston, MA, 02215
This event is 21 and over
The Nth Power
A panel of expert musicologists recently formulated an intricate mathematical equation in order to define the phenomenon that a new super-group based out of New Orleans has been creating:
Nikki Glaspie + Nigel Hall+ Nick Cassarino + Nate Edgar = The Nth Power
Drums Keys Guitar Bass
Seeing the newest, hottest musical project known as The Nth Power perform live is going to change your life. They will inspire you to dance, groove, make love, or just stand there with goose bumps. It is extremely challenging to define exactly what single type of music that The Nth Power represents and what musical genre they should be classified in. They will grab your attention and your imagination, taking you on a euphoric space cruise that visits the planets known as Funk, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, Neo-Soul, World-Beat and R&B.
Very few bands currently pack as much punch in a four-piece, all-analog ensemble as The Nth Power. Here is their recipe: Start with Nikki Glaspie's deep pocket, remarkable chops, incredible feel and sexy vocals. Next, mix in Nigel Hall's energetic and soulful vocals and his innate ability to shred any keyboard-based instrument. Then add Nick Cassarino's fluent rhythm guitar vocabulary, infatuating solos and magnetic vocals with Nate Edgar's miraculous ability of holding down the deepest bass lines while simultaneously treating his listeners to wicked melodic fills.
The four N's (Nikki/Nigel/Nick/Nate) all unanimously claim that they would rather play music together than do anything else in the world right now. When all the N's find themselves together in the same room with their instruments in their hands, an overwhelming wave of love, passion, excitement, and creativity fills the air. To be a part of this vibe is a unique transformational and inspirational opportunity.
Each member of The Nth Power currently plays in a multitude of other professional music endeavors including Dumpstaphunk, Warren Haynes, Lettuce and John Brown's Body, Big Daddy Kane and Jennifer Hartswick, to name a few. However, the magnitude of positive responses and encouragement that have followed The Nth Power's recent debut performances is incomparable and insurmountable to any other music project they have ever been in. They are completely prepared to take this new project to the highest level of musical achievement and accomplishment possible!
The Nth Power is currently finishing their first self-released, full-length album titled, Abundance. They will be touring North America this spring, summer and fall in support of the album. For booking, press and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Andy Shapiro at 801.403.1359 / email@example.com
KONG is a five-piece group from Boston, Massachusetts.
Rooted in the hard funk grooves of the last three decades the sound is armed with electro funk, tight percussive rhythms, and a whiff of world beat.
KONG is not afraid to melt your face with high-energy jams (think Band Of Gypsies meets Santana on steroids). But they also know enough to break it down with a touch of M.J., Maze, or Roy Ayers. KONG strives to move the crowd and is committed to bringing 110% . . . THUNDERFUNK.

IT'S only rock 'n' robes, but we like it.
The Rolling Stones look ready to be tucked up in bed with cocoa as they leave
a gig in their dressing gowns.
The rock legends played a surprise comeback show in Paris this week. In their
60s heyday they would have partied all night.
But after thrilling an audience of just 350, the band — with a combined age of
273 — left the club in their bath robes.
Only frontman Mick Jagger bucked the trend, wrapping up in a red scarf instead.
The gig was a warm-up for 50th anniversary shows in London and New York.
Wonder if they'll play Gown Sugar.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Nene Sanchez
Review for Hope for the Warriors, Springfield, VA, USA
I am a young Veteran who had hope to see my family again after all that I've been through in the Service. I was transitioning into the civilian life alone, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. There were times I wanted to give up and break down. It made me miss my family even more. My family is all I had to keep me strong, but being so far away from them didn't give me the strength to pull through. I couldn't afford a ticket to go home to see me family when I needed to.But recently I went home to American Samoa to reunite with my family and be a part of my brothers wedding which was a special and memorable event. Thanks to Jessica Hower and the rest of the "Hope for the Warriors" staff members for making it possible for me to see my family and be able to attend my brothers wedding. The trip was very much needed especially during a really rough time in my life when I needed my family the most. HFTW make a real difference in the lives of all service members and their families. Being with my family made me gain strength and gave me hope to get through life. It was part of a good healing process not only for me but also for my family. I can't thank them enough for their help. They also helped with my rent when I got back from my trip because of the days I took off work to go home. For the first time in a long time, I've never had to worry about anything but to just enjoy the company and comfort of my family. I feel really blessed with all the help that this organization has done for me. God Bless all the HFTW staff members and may they receive all the blessings that they truly deserve.

Nijo – Downtown, Seattle
Posted Monday 26 December 2011on:
- In: Downtown | Eating | Seattle | USA | Washington
- Leave a Comment
A mixed group of Americans and Australians met for happy hour at Nijo last week. Located a couple of blocks south of the Seattle Art Museum, the restaurant is on the Puget Sound end of Spring Street.
A courtyard is fenced by bamboo and would be popular for al fresco dining during summer.
Festive baubles dangled from ceiling lights. There was a bar and a sushi counter, and tables were by the window.
Happy hour is daily, early and late. The beverages menu was the same length as the food menu! A selection of appetisers, maki, temaki, nigiri and sashimi were discounted.
Three large marbles of takoyaki were drizzled with mayonnaise and aonori. A savoury batter ensconced a tendril of octopus.
A generous mound of chicken karaage was served in an odd sized bowl. The chicken pieces were marinated in soy sauce, ginger and garlic, lightly dusted with flour and deep fried.
On the left was spicy tuna roll, a fiery blend of minced tuna and chilli. On the top right was Bainbridge islander roll, prawn, salmon, cucumber and avocado were seasoned with a spicy sauce. On the bottom right was salmon nigiri, a slice of salmon sashimi atop sushi rice.
On the left was ebi nigiri and on the right was seared spicy shiro magura (albacore tuna) nigiri, both were fresh and succulent.
We shared two desserts, tempura ice cream and fried banana spring roll. Green tea and red bean ice cream were cloaked in pound cake and deep fried. I preferred the delicate flavour of the green tea ice cream. There was no crunchy shell and it was more ice cream cake than tempura.
Crispy and sweet, banana and white chocolate were a sugary filling for the spring roll.
We are fond of happy hour in Seattle and Nijo is another recommendation!

I'm making the layout for a new site. I simply want a horizontally centered trunk container, with in it the navigation menu div and the article div side by side. Inspired by http://www.sitepoint.com/give-floats-the-flick-in-css-layouts/, I thought I'd use inline-block for the two (child) divs, for a change. Only to see a behavior -- from IE8 to Chrome35 -- that I can't get my head around.
Here is the bare-bones demo, consisting of this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Demo Behavior inline-block</title>
#trunkContainer {
width: 300px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
#navMenuDiv {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: yellow;
display: inline-block;
#articleDiv {
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background: aqua;
display: inline-block;

ABC

I made the divs code one line, to eliminate the influence of spaces, tabs and hard returns in the code.
Just remove the ABC, or move it from the articleDiv to the navMenuDiv, and see that the positioning of inline-block elements is strongly -- I'd say freakishly -- content-dependent. My first question is: Why such behavior? I looked up the W3C specifications, which say: "(Inline-block) causes an element to generate an inline-level block container. The inside of an inline-block is formatted as a block box, and the element itself is formatted as an atomic inline-level box." But that doesn't make it any clearer for me.
My second, and more important question is: Does this mean that to get two block-level elements with different content types side by side there are still only two options: floating and absolute positioning, in this case relative-absolute positioning (relative to the trunkContainer)? Because only if the two (child) divs in this example contain the same type of content, are they positioned side by side.
You just need to set the vertical-alignment of the inline-block element.
Set both to 'vertical-align:top' to have their top edges align or set to middle if you want the middle to align. The default is 'baseline' which means that when you have no text in one of the boxes the baseline is effectively the bottom of that empty element and aligns as per your demo.
As a general rule you should always set the vertical alignment when using inline-block because browsers may default to different positions anyway.
Wow! Such simple principle, with such great consequences. Thanks, Paul.
I never realized that, even though I had already used inline-block on several occasions in the past. But apparently only in settings where the vertical alignment didn't matter.
Yes, most times you could probably get away without knowing the implications but its when you do something different it makes you wonder for a while

- $60,000: The first expansion will be developed twice as fast and will contain much more than we planned initially: two new playable races with their own unique content and balancing. Players will be able to choose their own play style by choosing one of the available races.
- $80,000: The second expansion will be ready early spring: Players will get the tools to expand their influence to space: they will build powerful permanent space satellites and space stations what will expand your colony far away from surface, allow you to make secret hideouts and plan your strategy in new ways. New types of spaceships, ground units, cruisers, buildings and satellites will also be included.
- $100,000: Plans for a third expansion is at the moment, to remain a mystery. But if things will come to this milestone, we will uncover new details, that will be even better than we can describe here.
Risks and challenges
Over the last few months, we have created a software client that will be able to withstand even the highest load of players without difficulty. We have performed high-population stress tests successfully.
Development will continue for two months after successful funding. This fantastic game will be possible because we have already chosen our development company. They will use all available people to make this game fully operational in a short period of time. This will allow you, the player, to enjoy the game sooner than planned. We are expecting this game to be finished in May of 2013, and after a month of beta-testing the game will be released. All backers will get their rewards accordingly, as promised in the pledge section. We want you to be able to play this game as soon as possible.
We are one hundred percent sure about the success of this game. The background story is unique: each expansion will give you another piece of the puzzle which will leave you excited for the next part of the story. Regular game events will keep the game interesting in between expansions, the perfect escape after a long work week.
The toughest challenge for us is the funding. Without it, the time spent developing the game will be much longer because we will have to do it ourselves. Every mountainous challenge we face is surmountable, in time, but with your support, they will become mere hills on our path to create a whole new gaming experience!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
