Farewell Japan, Hello Florida!
March 30, 2009
The view you see above is the one I saw every day for the past 4 years. It was the view from my 11th floor Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan apartment. It was a view I paid a lot to have. To me, it was totally worth it. It was the last of many places I called home while spending the past 9 years abroad in Asia. I first lived in Pusan, South Korea. After 3 years in various cities in that country, and several trips to southeast Asia, I took a 2 month pilgrimage in New Zealand before settling on my final Asian destination: Japan. That country was my home for the last 6 years, a period of time so long I came to believe I never actually had any other home and it was perfectly normal for me to be living in a place where I could not read any sign nor talk to any person. Though I thought it was forever, like all things, it was impermanent and lo, I have returned to Florida and my mind is still processing everything from my decade abroad.
Foote Family Christmas Party Japan 2008
January 4, 2009
Once again the Foote Family opened its doors wide to entertain 30+ people for a post-Christmas, Christmas party. This was also a white elephant gift exchange party, which proved to be a huge success. There were about four highly coveted presents that exchanged hands many, many times. The most popular of these was a Cocoa Latte machine. It was swapped at least a dozen times. I ended up with a nice, wooden hand massager turtle. Aya got a glove hand massager, another win for me!
Iku! Annual HAT tournament November 2008
November 2, 2008
On a sunny and warm early November afternoon, Iku! had its annual HAT tournament at Mizumoto Park in Kanamachi, Tokyo, Japan. There were over 35 ultimate players taking part this time, with some members of last year's winning team returning.
Shinjuku Mitsui Building Walkabout After Hours
October 6, 2008
I usually meet up with the boys in some capacity on Sunday evenings, and this one was no exception. After a meal at the local fave Indian place, The Can, Scott and I went on a semi-reluctant rainy walkabout of the Shinjuku skyscraper district, in particular the Shinjuku Mitsui Building.
Genny's Post-Wedding Party for JB and Anna
October 5, 2008
First, congratulations to JB and Anna who got married on September 06, 2008 in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (one of my favorite places in the world). Second, thanks to Genny and the rest of the Foote Family for once again opening their home to us. Eleven of us plus the Foote Family got together on a beautiful October Saturday afternoon at the Zama Housing Complex in Kanagawa, Japan to have a post-wedding-reception (I believe that was the moniker?) party for JB and Anna. Things kicked off with a little baseball playoffs watching, then some backyard sports, and then the big surprise of a "make-your-own-pizza" lunch.
Cycling to Haneda Airport with a Thunderstorm
September 8, 2008
- Distance: 34.38 miles
- Time in motion: 2 hours 57 minutes 08 seconds
- Average speed: 11.6 mph
- Max speed: 28.5 mph
I had wanted to cycle out to Haneda Airport for quite some time. This Sunday I finally attempted it. I was joined by UK Mike and The Can, who also ride Trek 7.3 FXs. I wrote down some rough directions based on a route planned by Tokyo Half-Fast Cycling. However, it was a bit more complicated than that, and after much asking and street sign map reading, we were able to get to a point close enough to see JAL's planes come in really close for landings.

Gunma Japan Haikyo Urban Exploring!
August 1, 2008
I went on my first ever haikyo, or urban exploring as it's called outside of Japan, with the Mikes in January 2008. We rented a Nissan X-trail, which was a pleasure to drive by the way, and headed up deep into Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Snow was everywhere and we were all very excited to be out of Tokyo and on our first adventure in a long time. We went out seeking an abandoned theme park, volcano museum and schoolhouse. We found them all, with varying degrees of difficulty. [Read more]
Genny's 4th of July Party 2008! [video]
July 8, 2008
The Foote Family (Dennis, Kathy, Genny) once again opened their doors to all for a 4th of July party at their home on the Sagamihara housing complex of Camp Zama (a U.S. military base). Over 25 people showed up.
After helping set up for the BBQ in the evening, we went to the pool for some leisurely swimming, which soon turned into spontaneous swimming race challenges, where Genny took on and defeated almost all comers. Yoshio was defeated by Kerry. I gave blood to reach the wall first. In more traditional pool pursuits, Yoshio, Luke, Kerry and I all took turns trying to catch a small ball while diving/jumping into the deep end of the pool, which was great fun. I, myself, made many just regular dives into the deep end. Joy!

A really enjoyable book as both of the kids were enthralled by it (8 yrs +11 yrs) because of the humour, adventure and how everything went wrong for the two brothers.

i have a red hibiscus that is 3 plants woven together, and the top is ball-shaped. I want to know if this is hardy enough to plant outside Zone 5, and how do I keep the shape through the winter? Up until now, I have been bringing the plant indoors and it blooms until March, then stops until I put it out in the spring. Any suggestions?

Life Is a Beach - Ziya - The Oberoi, Mumbai
?There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.? -Victor Hugo The depth of the ocean has always been a matter of intrigue and curiosity for most of us. Metaphorically, this deepness can be linked to that of our soul, as this quote simply articulates. We, as humans, are defined by the complexity of our insights on one hand, and by the simplicity of our emotions and endeavours on the other. In this quest, to attain an understanding of the gravity our mind and soul, it becomes essential to first crawl back to nitty-gritties, things that lift up your spirit without you even being aware of it.

Watching the glowing horizon of the sunset right in front of your eyes while witnessing the sky transcend into a pitch-dark blanket beautifully lit with stars, complementing the faintly shimmering moonlight, makes for an unmatchable experience. Witness the sweeping views of the ocean at Ziya - The Oberoi, Mumbai ? a fine-dining paradise. Ziya boasts of a sophisticated decor, and can well be regarded as a gem on the Queen?s necklace. Ziya announces return of the multi-award winner and the twice Michelin-starred Vineet Bhatia, the owner and chief chef of the restaurant. The restaurant name is derived from the word diya, which means glow, light, and splendour ? as rightly epitomized by the grandeur created by this restaurant. Ziya offers modern, contemporary interpretations of the Indian cuisine with a dash of international flavours, or what is known to be ?evolved Indian cuisine? as asserted by Vineet. Ziya offers eight-course gourmand tasting menu, as well as Ziya Select, a characteristic lunch spread where different, assorted samplings from the menu are presented to you on a single platter.

Release Note:Flush VectorGroupBy aggregation hashes in case of a full GC
The current VectorGroupByOperator implementation flushes the in-memory hashes when the maximum entries or fraction of memory is hit.
This works for most cases, but there are some corner cases where we hit GC ovehead limits or heap size limits before either of those conditions are reached due to the rest of the pipeline.
This patch adds a SoftReference as a GC canary. If the soft reference is dead, then a full GC pass happened sometime in the near past & the aggregation hashtables should be flushed immediately before another full GC is triggered.

I have committed this trunk. Thanks to Gopal!
Harish Butani This is an important fix to vector group by because the aggregates must flush more aggressively in case of GC. Therefore, I intend to commit it to branch-0.13. as well.
The test failures don't seem to be related to this fix - they aren't vectorized.
Overall: -1 at least one tests failed

This message is automatically generated.
Can you somehow modify the LOG.debug at top of flush() to call out that the flush was triggered by the gcCanary.get() == null? I was thinking: keep a count of gcCanary allocations and print it in the LOG.debug message, this will tell us if the GC is the trigger and also will tell how often has occured in the operator lifetime, when debugging etc.
Yes, also the ORC scenario is more complex for strings in dictionaries.
A substring does not drop the rest of the data off the memory overhead because in vectorized mode, only the start:len get modified, no new allocations are made.
So a group by SUBSTR() will keep the entire string in memory, except the VGBY does not know that it does.
I like it. Sounds like this will allow you to be more aggressive with caching/flushing params, while having a trigger that will flush out stuff when necessary.
+1 (assuming tests pass)

MEMBERS Trust Company, First CU-Owned National Trust Firm Opens for Business
TAMPA, Fla. - After clearing regulatory hurdles from the Office of Thrift Supervision in June, the industry's first nationally-chartered trust company recently received the final nod from another regulator to officially open for business. MEMBERS Trust Co., the newly-formed national trust cooperative providing trust services to credit union members, officially opened its doors for business Nov. 3 after receiving approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in mid-October, which completed the post-charter process started in June, when the federal OTS granted charter approval for MEMBERS Trust Co. to do business in all 50 states. "We are now ready to bring trust services to credit unions who have in the past had no choice but to send their members to a bank," said Tom Walker, president and CEO of MEMBERS Trust Co. At an Oct. 28 organizational meeting in Tampa, representatives of the two trust company shareholders, Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union and CUNA Mutual Insurance Society, formally elected a board of directors and appointed Suncoast Schools President/CEO Tom Dorety as chairman. Directors also took action to complete the merger of the 16-year-old trust company at Suncoast Schools into MEMBERS Trust Company. There will be no changes to the services provided to existing clients of Suncoast Schools, former Members Trust Company in connection with the merger, Dorety said. Customers will continue to be served by the same trust officers and relationship management staff, and the terms of service remain unchanged. "In the past several weeks, MEMBERS Trust has been working with more than two dozen credit unions that have expressed interest in offering trust services," said Francis Quinn, MEMBERS Trust Senior Vice President of Business Development and Investments. "We expect many of these to begin offering trust services either using the agency or the representative office operation option in early January, but some will open by year's end." MEMBERS Trust will have two setup options available to credit unions. The `agency office' option establishes a trust presence in a particular state and requires a trust officer to be physically located in a credit union. The `representative office' option is an extension of the credit union's financial services program and does not require hiring a trust officer, but instead, utilizes the services of specially trained representatives to consult and make recommendations for trust services. The trust company expects to complete arrangements to open three to four agency offices by year end and an additional seven to 10 representative offices. Eight credit unions have opted for agency offices and the remaining credit unions are expected to open representative offices. In 2001, MEMBERS Development Co. (a partnership between credit unions/CUSOs and CUNA Mutual formed to develop new products and services) endorsed a strategy that would create a national credit union-owned trust cooperative. John Henry, CUNA Mutual Group Senior Vice President/CEO of MEMBERS Development Co., and Dorety assembled a team of trust professionals to turn that strategy into an operating business, giving credit unions of any size the ability to offer trust services. "Today, our vision of being the trust department for credit unions, with the credit union itself retaining control over member relationships, has become reality," said Henry. He added that the economies of distribution that this national trust provides "greatly benefits credit unions." "By contracting with MEMBERS Trust Company, the credit union CEO can avoid committing capital and managing the complexities an individual trust program entails," Henry said. MEMBERS Trust offerings will include investment management, trust administration, estate planning, estate settlement, custody retirement plans and reverse mortgages. Board members are Henry; Blaine Rieke, retired CEO of Firstar Trust Company; Jonathan Rich, trust attorney, Holland & Knight LLP, Orlando; and Ed Callahan, retired CEO of Patelco Credit Union, San Francisco. MEMBERS Trust Co. executive staff is Walker, Quinn, Mary Tlachac, senior vice president of administration; Denise Giansante, senior trust officer; and Neil Archibald, corporate counsel/compliance. This team also serves as the Trust and Investment Committee. -

The tangerine is a small, thin-skinned variety of orange belonging to the mandarin orange species of the family Rutaceae. Tangerine and mandarin is often used interchangeably, however a tangerine is actually a sub-species of the mandarin orange.
The tree is smaller than other orange trees, with slender twigs and lance-shaped leaves. The fruit is slightly flattened at either end, with loose, deep, reddish-orange peel and easily separated segments. Tangerines have been found as small as a ruby, to larger than an average orange though, the fruit is usually smaller than most oranges. The skin of some varieties will peel off more easily. The taste is often sweeter than that of an orange. The number of seeds in each segment (carpel) varies by variety.
Tangerines are most likely native to Southeast Asia and have been cultivated for over 3,000 years in China and Japan. They were spread westward along trade routes as far as the Mediterranean. The name tangerine actually refers to Tangier, Morocco, the port through which they were first shipped to Europe from in the nineteenth century.
There are different types including:
- Honey tangerines, which were originally called Murcotts
- Orlando
- Dancy
- Seminole
- Variants of oranges that are well-known and often thought to be tangerines are Clementine's (seedless) and Satsuma.
Good quality tangerines have loose-fitting skins so they will feel soft and puffy compared to oranges. They should also be heavy for their size; otherwise, they might be pithy and dry. Make sure to choose fruits with glossy, deep orange skins, but don't worry about small green patches near the stems. The best tangerines also have a strong sweet smell. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 – 14 days.
Peak tangerine season is short, lasting from November to January in the Northern Hemisphere.
Tangerines are most often peeled and eaten fresh. The fruit can also be used in salads, desserts and main dishes. Fresh tangerine juice and frozen juice concentrate are commonly available in the United States. Oil extracted from the skin of the tangerine is an important in several flavorings and liqueurs.
Tangerines are a good source of vitamin C, half the daily requirement. They are also a good source of folate and beta-carotene. They also contain some potassium, magnesium and vitamins B1, B2 & B3.
Two other tangerine type fruits worth mentioning are the Tangelo and Temple. The tangelo is a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit or pomelo (a large citrus fruit that is related to the grapefruit). The name is a combination of tangerine and pomelo. Tangelos look like large oranges. Although they are closer to tangerines than to grapefruits in flavor, they have a taste all their own.
The Temple which is also called a Royal mandarin is a tangor, a cross between a tangerine and an orange. Temples resemble overgrown tangerines and have many seeds. They are very sweet and juicy, and their flavor is similar to that of an orange.

BUENOS AIRES, July 26 (Reuters) - Argentina's central bank left its 35-day reference interest rate unchanged at 30.25 percent on Tuesday for the third straight week, though it said all indicators showed inflation cooling.
Up until July 12, the central bank had slashed the reference rate every week for more than two months, signaling confidence that inflation was slowing down and helping make concrete investments more attractive in the recession-mired country.
However, the central bank has held the rate steady since then.
"With respect to the month of July, all of the indicators and estimates from state sources that the bank follows show a decline in inflation with respect to June, although at different velocities depending on the index," the bank said in a statement.
"Taking all into account, the bank considers that in these circumstances, the current interest rate level is appropriate to consolidate disinflation."
National statistics agency Indec has yet to report an annual inflation rate since the agency underwent reforms earlier this year, though authorities have produced monthly figures.
In its statement, the central bank said June inflation in the San Luis province was a relatively low 1.5 percent, affected heavily by reversions in regulated price hikes. The central bank estimated the monthly national inflation rate at a higher 2.6 percent, based on data from Cordoba, Buenos Aires, and San Luis provinces.

Graham Leicester wrote an article in your paper claiming that we need "butterfly thinking" (Perspective, 6 December).
Unfortunately, butterflies are not known for the profundity of their thoughts, and nor, it would seem, is Mr Leicester, whose article consists of nothing but to repeat 16 or 17 times over the claim that we need to "transform education".
He does not say why, how, for what purpose, or in what way.
He utters not a single word about what these alleged "radical changes", "skills for learning and life", "transformative innovations", "visionary, aspirational, inspirational, butterfly thinking", "genuinely transformed practices", "culture changes", etc might actually be.
Instead, he repeats such phrases endlessly, over six columns. His article is a perfect vacuum.
There is no mention of any actual real skills, such as English, foreign languages, science, maths, history or geography. Just what on earth or in heaven is Graham Leicester on about? It's all smoke and mirrors.

I love the look of knitted or crochet wire jewelry. My effort with small metal knitting needles was fine except I was gritting my teeth right through the entire project because of the metal against metal. Wire crochet is a safer bet and will save my teeth. Israeli designer, Yael of Yoola Design has a unique technique and tool system to enable - with practice - even crochet stitches. It is difficult to crochet with fine wire otherwise.
She is back with another super giveaway! This time for her new design, a complete kit which includes a DVD tutorial.
The kit includes wire spools, 0.6 mm crochet hook, DVD tutorial, gold filled or sterling silver ear wires and the tool to make the earrings.
I actually bought her plastic loom set and some fine crochet hooks a while ago. You can make a tube rather like Viking knit and draw them through a drawplate to narrow them down. The benefit of this technique though is the ability to use a continuous length of wire. You have to work with lengths of wire with Viking knit.
|What I used for my ring
I was visiting family at the time. My mother, who is far more experienced with crochet than I am, looked over my shoulder and said 3 helpful words, "Use bigger hook"! So I did. I practiced with a 2.4 mm and then dropped it down to a 1.4 mm before moving to the 0.6 mm hook.
There are 2 basic actions to the technique. One is drawing the wire through the loom and then through the wire loops. It is tricky for a beginner to use a 0.6 mm because the hook is so small.
The second part of the technique involves removing the hook from the wire and then poking the hook through the drawn loop. This sets the loop size. The fine 0.6 mm hook will create smaller loops. I also noticed this action hardened the wire nicely.
I spliced the ends of the finished strip together and wired in a Kazuri and small black buttons, My stitches were far from even - but it actually looks better in real life than in this photograph.
One lucky winner of this giveaway will win Yael's Wire Crochet Swarovski Crystal Earrings Kit worth $93.
If you'd like to be that winner, then have a go at winning the above kit, please make a comment below. Make sure you leave contact info if you do not have an online shop or blog. Please also share which other kits or patterns might be your favorite in the comments.

Extra entries if you become or are a blog subscriber or follower etc. If you also do shout outs about this giveaway, those will count as additional entries too! Please say so in the comments.
It ends in a week's time at 6 pm EST Monday, April 27, 2015. I will pick the winner randomly and announce the results as soon as possible after. So be sure to leave a contact email if you don't have an online link or make sure you come back and check! Otherwise I will redraw in a week. Good luck!

Guess who's here? Milton Bradley. He was walking with one of his agents, Sam Levinson (I think it was Sam. There's also Seth, who in my memory has a goatee. This Levinson was sans goatee), and seemed mildly happy to see me. He shook my hand and said nothing much was new. He has spoken with Rangers general manager Jon Daniels in the past week, but nothing has changed. I think that means Bradley wants and multiyear contract, and the Rangers aren't willing to go there.

I'd been meaning to cosplay Kaleido Star for quite a while but ran into some problems with my Sora costume. So, when my friend Neoangelwink cosplayed Sora, I thought it would be nice to do another character in the meanwhile so we could cosplay together sometime. ^_^
I chose Sarah since her antics amused me and her Cinderella costume looked like it would be cozy for the colder months. Since she's a singer in a circus and this is one of her stage costumes, I chose materials like satin and sequin trim to give it a showy appearance. I was quite pleased with how the costume turned out and how the materials went together. ^_^
This was one of my more challenging costumes in terms of patterning and the trickiest part was the bottom of the dress. I made a separate underskirt with several layers of netting at the bottom, covered by a layer of faux fur to get the fan shape. I then altered the bottom of my dress pattern so it would have the points and fit over the shape created by the underskirt.
The dress and armwarmers are fully lined and all of the faux fur pieces have their own linings. The white flower is a fused applique with white sequins handstitched along the outlines. The white trim along the edges of the dress and armwarmers is sequin trim that I stitched in place by hand. The pink pieces are organza and the feathers sticking out of the hood were made with layers of organza and netting.
- Personal Thoughts:
- This is a fun costume to wear although half of the time, I seem to end up wearing it when it's ridiculously hot. XD; Last photo was from press day for the local Sakura Matsuri which is why there's so much random crossover.

Goldberg has developed a great field box designed specifically for the electric flyer. Their new ElectoTote is one of the best thought-out and designed field boxes I've seen. Not too big, nor too small. It incorporates many practical design features necessary in an electric field box. And doing it in a relatively small foot print with a lot of storage.
With over 50 pieces of nicely machine and laser cut wood, this is an impressive field box kit. All necessary mounting hardware, the banana plug kit, and Velcro squares were included. The incorporation of their new "Quik Chill" battery cooler kit, with its built-in electric cooling fan, was a definite bonus!
Tools and Supplies Needed:
I began by inventorying and inspecting each piece. All the machine cutting was very well done. There were a few rough edges left from the cutting process, but nothing to complain about. I carefully went over each piece with a palm sander with 220 grit sandpaper, smoothing all the edges. I then followed up with 400 grit, to get a nice smooth finish. It was then just a matter of assembling the interlocking pieces following the well detailed, photo illustrated, step by step instructions.
All the pieces aligned and fit very well. The fit was snug in a few of the slots. I found by "very slightly" rounding the edges on the corresponding piece it made assembly much easier. Then just a little touch up with wood filler here and there. I gave it a quick once over with 400 grit sandpaper and it was ready to stain or paint.
The laser cut components:
These parts all aligned and fit perfectly.
I used carpenter's glue and medium CA throughout the building process.
In a couple evenings of pleasant building. I had the the project finished and ready for the field.
This was such a neat idea I felt it needed it's own section. The laser cutting and fit was so good it required no sanding, and could be completely assembled with rubber bands prior to gluing. The included 12 volt fan was very quiet and moved a lot of air through the box. It can be loaded from the rear or, by leaving the top unglued, loaded from the top.
The included banana plug kit consisted of two male and two female connectors. I only had to supply my own wiring for the connections.
The "Quik Chill" is also available separately as a stand alone unit. By leaving the tool caddy at home, it's possible to mount a second "Quik Chill" to the ElectroTote!
After I filled any imperfections with wood filler and sanding, a quick once over with a tack rag, and it was ready for finish. I applied a coat of wood stain followed by a couple coats of poly sealer. Lightly sanding between coats. The plywood in the kit was of excellent quality, allowing for any type of finish you might want to apply. Since there was to be no glow fuel involved, any type of spray paint would also have worked very well.
After the individual components were then attached to the box with the included Velcro squares, I wired up the batteries, filled the drawers and tool box with the necessities, and was ready to head to the field!
Goldberg has produced a great dedicated field box for the electric flyer! Lots of storage and well thought-out design makes it great for anyone flying electrics. It combines easy assembly with excellent quality wood and components. The addition of their new "Quik Chill" makes it even better!
Weighing just around 8 pounds empty, it won't break your back to haul around either. All this adds up to a great field box you won't mind actually taking to the field.

I've got one already, but not finished the build yet (I have the main box built, need to finish the drawers & the Quik Chill box). From what I've seen so far, the only problem I have with the whole thing is the side that is screwed on. You really need to drill some pilot holes in the mating surfaces, or the wood panels you screw to may split (yeah, I know some common sense would have told me to do this beforehand, but it's not in the instructions I received, so I thought I would mention it).
Other than that I'd say it's going to be a fantastic box, and the Quik Chill box will definitely come in handy.
Also, that battery compartment will hold either several gell-cell batteries, or a larger 12v, from say a riding mower or small motorcycle battery. PLENTY of room in there...
When you remove the radio tray on top, you can easily get four gell cells or a pretty good size lawn mower or motorcycle battery inside. It's handy just to be able to lift the tray off and be able to get to the batteries.
The instructions I have on page 5 states to:
Drill a 1/16 pilot hole into the inside panels through each pre-drilled hole in the back panel to prevent splitting the wood. I almost missed it too.
It really is a nice field box.

Faux surround sound is nothing new. Soundbars and other smaller audio solutions typically have some type of technology that can provide the "illusion" of surround sound, without a 5.1 (or larger) speaker setup. GenAudio is hoping to be the next great surround sound solution, with AstoundSound for CE.
This newly launched technology promises to deliver surround sound without all of the speakers. Designed to work with headphones and two speaker devices, GenAudio says that the tech can deliver a realistic 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound experience.
AstoundSound for CE is software-based, which is what allows it to reproduce those 5.1 and 7.1 sounds. The company says that this has an advantage over competing spatial audio technology, because AstoundSound for CE has no tone colorization and remains in-phase.
The company also says that the tech will work in everything from digital TVs and set-top boxes to phones and gaming consoles, and much more.
"The introduction of our software based audio IP tech on small, low-cost processors coupled with our intuitive audio tuning tools provides manufacturers a way to quickly integrate spatialized audio playback capabilities into any new product where audio fidelity to the consumer is a critical component," says Jerry Mahabub, founder and CEO of GenAudio. "Implementing AstoundSound in consumer devices will offer device manufacturers the opportunity to differentiate their multimedia products in a crowded consumer market!"
GenAudio is already incorporating AstoundSound audio IP software into devices, including the Analog Devices ADAU1761/1701 Sigma Studio DSP system-on-chip (SoC) audio processors as well as ADI's SHARC processors and various other chip manufacturers. GenAudio says that the first products packing AstoundSound for CE launch will debut early this year.

Statins may have an unrecognized adverse effect, especially for older men. More than 3,000 men over the age of 65 were included in this Oregon State University study. The scientists found that men taking statins exercised about 40 minutes a week less than those not on such cholesterol-lowering drugs.
The men kept activity diaries and wore an accelerometer armband called SenseWear Pro3 for objective measurement of their physical activity. The men were followed for nearly seven years. The data show that men taking statins are less active for as long as they are on the medication. New statin users had the largest drop in physical activity.
The researchers speculate that statin use disrupts energy production within cells, leading to mitochondrial damage, fatigue, muscle pain and weakness. Exercise may make this worse, which may explain why statin users were less active. Because physical activity is important for maintaining cardiovascular fitness and avoiding metabolic conditions like diabetes, reducing exercise is a potentially negative complication of statin use.
[JAMA Internal Medicine, June, 9, 2014]
The People's Pharmacy perspective underscores the value of exercise for maintaining mental and physical health and a high quality of life. If drugs that may reduce exercise are needed, they should be used at the lowest possible dose and for the shortest feasible time. In our view, statin use should be the exception rather than the rule except for individuals who already have heart disease. Those who are interested in lowering cholesterol and heart disease risk without statins may wish to read our Guide to Cholesterol Control and Heart Health.

I've basically played guitar for as long as I can remember. I don't think of myself as being self taught as the influence of so many greats is what fueled my obsession with this instrument. From Jimi Hendrix to Django Reinhardt to Jason Becker; I learned from the best.
Since day one, I always found it easier and more intriguing to create songs rather than learn existing ones, so the compositional element of my music is somewhat deep rooted. I've released 3 albums of original material and performed all over the world in some radically different musical situations and environments. I love to adapt.
In the early days I was playing my own kind of weird amalgam of blues, rock and funk, later resorting to a solo acoustic format to facilitate the touring I wanted to do. In recent years I've toured predominantly with my own trio featuring drum and bass players I connected with in Nashville, TN.
My latest release is an EP called ToeJam and with this project I decided to simply write, produce and release 4 songs as a kind of taste of where I may go next. Rather than worry about the repercussions of the music I was creating, I simply followed my instincts and ensured that I was heavily involved in the production by writing as well as playing almost all the instruments.
For me the most absolute thrill is to share my music with an audience. The musical stratosphere has an incredibly rich and vast library of music, and my highest goal as an artist and performer is to make some kind of significant contribution to it.
Am a rocker? ...kind of I guess. Am I a jazzer? ...to some maybe. Am I a pop singer? um, not exactly... I just live for that moment when you stumble on some kind of musical germ that could infect its way onto a stage in some far flung corner of the world. And that's what I get to do for a job.
Not bad for an Australian bush kid.

VETERANS' COMPENSATION COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT ACT OF 2008 -- (House of Representatives - May 20, 2008)
Mr. FILNER. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
This bill is called the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act, which was introduced by myself and Mr. Rodriguez of Texas. And I want to thank our ranking member, Mr. Buyer, who, of course, supported this legislation and helped us to get here with unanimous support from our committee.
The fact that we were able to get this bill to the floor only a month after its introduction shows the House leadership's commitment to our Nation's veterans and their survivors.
Since 1976 Congress has passed a measure to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to increase the rates of basic compensation for disabled veterans and the rates of dependency and indemnity compensation, so-called DIC, to their survivors and dependents, along with other benefits, in order to keep pace with the rising cost of living. The disability COLA here would be effective on December 1 of this year and will be equal to that provided on an annual basis to Social Security recipients.
Madam Speaker, this bill will provide over 3 million disabled veterans from the World War I era through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan that VA estimates will be receiving disability compensation for the coming fiscal year. It will help over 300,000 of their survivors during the same period.
Many of the nearly 3.5 million recipients of these benefits depend on these tax-free payments not only to provide for their own basic needs but those of their spouses, children, and parents as well. Without an annual COLA increase, these veterans and their families would see the value of their hard-earned benefits slowly erode.
We would be derelict in our duty if we failed to guarantee that those who sacrifice so much for this country receive benefits and services that don't keep pace with their necessities. I know we have had some disagreement over the past weeks over what, and how, our priorities for veterans should be funded. But on this bill, there is no disagreement. The veterans compensation COLA is included in the CBO baseline. In layman's terms, that means we have already paid for this.
Regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with the funding of the war in Iraq, our young men and women who have served in our Armed Forces deserve to be adequately compensated for injuries due to their military service. We fund the war, we must fund the warrior, and their families and their survivors, by ensuring their benefits will keep pace with their living expenses. Let's ensure that these benefits make ends meet at the end of the month.
Madam Speaker, as we approach our country's 140th Memorial Day commemoration, I ask all my colleagues to support this bill and send a clear message of support to our troops: You will be taken care of when you return, and we will not forget your sacrifice.
No action by a Member of Congress is more irritating to many Americans than those who say they support the troops but then turn a cold shoulder when those same troops come home, become veterans, and need our help to become whole again. That costs money; money we should not hesitate to spend, just like our military men and women did not hesitate to offer to lay down their lives to defend our freedom and the way of life that we cherish.
I ask my colleagues to consider these facts when voting on the full portfolio of veterans' legislation that is under consideration on the floor today, and of course to support passage of this bill, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2008.

Dozier working through rookie-season struggles
Dozier working through rookie-season struggles
Offensively, Dozier's .303 average this month entering Sunday's game tops his .228 and .231 marks in May and June. Defense has seemingly come more slowly for the 2011 Twins Minor League Player of the Year. Dozier's 13 errors entered Sunday tied for the second-most among Major League shortstops.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said the staff continues to work with Dozier on not playing so deep in the hole at short.
"He's had his moments where he's OK," Gardenhire said. "I still think he gets sloppy with his glove a little too much. He makes plays a lot harder than they should be. He plays really deep. We've had conversations about shortening it up -- you have to make adjustments on these infields."
Even though Dozier's bat has been steady as a rookie shortstop, Gardenhire is also looking for situational improvements.
"Situations like putting hit and runs on, even though the pitch might be off the plate, you as the hitter have to find a way to put the bat on the ball," Gardenhire said. "You can't leave a runner out there. Those are situations that he's built for -- hit and runs and things like that. And he's got to get better at that."

The weather outside is frightful. The nighttime temperatures are unbearable. Even the day temperatures are less than desirable lately. If we don't even want to be outside, think of how our plants must feel.
As a person who needs to be outside at least part of every day, cold weather always darkens my mood. I know they have pills for that (thank you, Lexapro), but if you're not into better living through chemistry, another way to brighten a cold winter day is with plants that bloom now.
Here are lunch menus for Brunswick County's nine Senior Nutrition Sites for next week.
Monday, Dec. 27
Closed for holidays.
Tuesday, Dec. 28
Beef stew/vegetables, brown rice, grape juice, vanilla pudding, biscuit/margarine, beverage.

Adults and kids alike look forward to that customary Christmas dinner of roast turkey garnished with chestnuts, vegetables and cranberry sauce. Afterward, we all enjoy those homemade cookies and other delectable sweets.

Casey Kelly was attempting something infinitely more difficult than slipping a fastball past Joey Votto.
Or pretty much anything else.
At his own risk, the former Sarasota High star and current San Diego Padre pitcher tried climbing into the heads of a group of single-age boys.
Question: What do you think about when you're pitching?
Answer: Ice cream.
Don't we all?
"For the most part, the thing that I think about the most is one pitch at a time,'' Kelly told the boys. "If you usually focus on one pitch at a time — it's a lot easier said than done — and get ahead in the count, it will help you guys out a lot.''
Years ago, the 24-year-old Kelly was one of these wide-eyed youngsters, learning the right way to play the game.
Back then, it was Pat Kelly, Casey's dad, doing the teaching.
Monday at the Central Sarasota Little League complex at Twin Lakes Park, it was Casey's turn, with help from pro players Joey Rapp, Anthony Rizzo, Tyler Pastornicky and brother and San Diego Padres scout Chris Kelly.
It's called the All Pro Baseball Camp, and for the fifth straight year, it attracted area youth baseball players age 5-12.
"This is where most of us played when we were growing up,'' Casey said, "so it's just to be able to give back and come out and have some fun with some kids for a little bit.''
About 30 attended, taking part in the sport's customary drills of pitching, throwing, grounders in the field and swings in the cages over the course of the four-hour camp.
Several of the youngsters have participated in multiple camps. As Kay Torralva watched from outside the cages, 12-year-old son Luka took several hefty cuts.
"It's so neat,'' she said. "You meet these guys and they are so good with the kids.
"This is our tradition every year. I look forward to getting the email from Chris (Kelly) and I make sure that the date is already saved.''
Said Casey, "Each year the kids just get better and better and it's fun to watch. Some of the kids have been here since the first or second one we've had. You get to see them grow up, so it's really cool.''
As much as the kids appeared to have fun, so, too, did the pros. Rizzo, the first baseman for the Chicago Cubs, who hit 23 home runs with 80 RBI in 160 games last season, was a particular favorite.
"They just want to have fun,'' said the Fort Lauderdale resident. "That's all I say, just have fun. They ask what it's like and I tell them it's fun, but a lot of work and practice. That's what I tell them.''
Personally, Casey Kelly has his own work to do. He's about nine months removed from Tommy John surgery. Kelly completed his offseason throwing program and now is in the process of resting his arm in preparation for spring training.
"Right now just training and getting my body in shape,'' he said. "Tommy John is a very day-to-day thing. Just trying to come to spring training in the best shape and, obviously, my arm feeling the best.''
Being forced from the game last season for the first time in his life was difficult for Kelly.
"It was very tough, mentally and physically, to go in and rehab and do that every day,'' he said, "but the support from the Padres organization, family and friends, definitely got me through it.''
Smile-filled mornings like Monday can't hurt.

Amputation saw, France, 1801-1900
This ingenious device was used to cut through the femur bone in the thigh. The forceps at the front are used to grip the bone and the double edged semi-circular saw can be moved forward or backward to be placed behind the bone. The saw is then moved from side to side using the ebony handle to cut through the bone. Made by Mathieu, a French surgical instrument maker, the handles are textured to improve grip.

A Look at Some of the Freshest Beatles Tribute Albums
There are tribute albums, and then there are Beatles tribute albums, ever sprouting like mushrooms. And boy, do we love to consume those 'shrooms! Some fresh ones picked for your pleasure after the jump.
Cheap Trick: Sgt. Pepper Live (Big3). Yup, the entire album, with orchestra — and with Geoff Emerick co-producing/mixing. Bonus "Medley Song" is "Golden Slumbers," "carry That Weight," and "The End."
Various Artists: Abbey Road Now! (MOJO, U.K. import). That is, given away free with the October issue of the British music magazine MOJO. collection includes Gomez's "Sun King" and Robyn Hitchcock's "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."
Joshua Rifin: The Baroque Beatles Book (Nonesuch). Released in 1965 and first reissued by collectors' choice in 2006, this curio now returns to its original Nonesuch home. Do the math: Beatles + Bach. Pick hit: "Les Plaisirs (Ticket to Ride)."
Beatallica: Masterful Mystery Tour (Oglio). Do the new math: Beatles + Metallica. Pick hit: "Everybody's Got a Ticket to Ride Except for Me and My Lightning."
Rockabye baby! More Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles (Rockabye Baby!). And I quote them: "These instrumental interpretations will glide your little one across the universe, through an octopus's garden, and lay them down in a golden slumberland."
But before it's time to say good night, check out my fave tribute in this batch, from a bunch of Various artists: Easy Beatles — Irresistible In-Sound Interpretations from 'the 60s and '70s (Bureau B, German import; bureau-b.com). From last year, but I'm still diggin' it. Not just Easy Listening but soul, jazz, jet-set pop, and more. What's crazier, the Lettermen doing "I'm Only Sleeping" or Ella Fitzgerald doing "Savoy Truffle"?! Great liner notes in English. — K.R.
