Pricing for BMW's first hybrid performance/luxury sedans has now been released. BMW made the announcement during the debut of the 2011 ActiveHybrid 7 models at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.
BMW will start delivering the cars in Spring 2011 with a base MSRP of $103,125 including destination and handling for the ActiveHybrid 7 and $107,025 for the long wheelbase ActiveHybrid 7L.
The BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedans are equipped with BMW's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and hybrid electric motor.
The sedans also have an auto stop-start feature that improves efficiency without interrupted climate control and other features. Standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels and tires, Alcantara headliner, leather dashboard and ventilated active front seats.
Other features that are found standard on the vehicle include the Premium Sound System, Head-up Display and Rear View Camera, Comfort Access, Soft-close doors and Automatic trunkgate closing.
But for the ultimate experience, the customer can opt for any of the following: Camera Package, Driver Assistance Package, BMW Night Vision and Rear Seat Entertainment Package. A Luxury Rear Seating Package is also available on the ActiveHybrid 7L. There is a whole range of options to suit individual tastes.
Spring 2010 would be when the BMW 7 ActiveHybrid would roll into dealerships nationwide in the United States and the Americas. It was an instant hit, with a design that's geared towards merging both amazing performance and fuel efficiency into one package.
The BMW 7 ActiveHybrid's powertrains consist, first and foremost, of a twin-turbo V8 engine employing High Precision Direct Injection technology. The V8 engine is paired with a 3-phase synchronous electric motor. The electric motor's core is a lithium-ion battery that powers up the secondary engine.
Together, these two drivetrains deliver a total of 455 horsepower, with 516 lb-ft. of torque. The powertrains are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Such performance from the engines only became possible through precise control on the interaction between them and the vehicle.
As such, the BMW 7 ActiveHybrid's performance can rival even the best gasoline-powered car in the market. Stepping on the gas, you only have to wait 4.8 seconds for the BMW 7 ActiveHybrid to jump to 60 mph from a standstill.
Despite the upgraded performance and power, the BMW 7 ActiveHybrid is 15% more fuel efficient than the BMW 750i. In addition to fuel efficiency, the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is also designed with comfort in mind. In fact, it was the first of its kind.
Never before has BMW put the Auto Start Stop feature to a car in its fleet that has automatic transmission. The Auto Start Stop feature specifically prevents the engine from idling by stopping it automatically, saving gas during traffic jams.
However, with the system engaged, the air conditioning and ventilation systems do not turn off. With the engine turned off, a 120V electrical system fed by the lithium-ion battery powers the AC and ventilation. All components of the car's performance can be monitored by the driver through the instrument cluster and the Central Display.
While they may look similar as the ActiveHybrid 7 is based on the BMW 7 series, the ActiveHybrid 7 distinguishes itself from the 750i with the 19-inch light-alloy Aero wheels that it carries. These wheels are tuned to be aerodynamic, adding to the car's performance.
The door cutouts, C-pillars and trunk lids also carry distinctive model designations. The ActiveHybrid 7 is available in two versions – the base and the extended versions. The extended version has a longer wheelbase.
Extended by 5.5 inches, the wheelbase is meant to improve comfort for the rear-seating passengers. Both versions can be personalized according to the owner's preferences with a range of accessories and optional equipment that is compatible with both body variants.

Rosengren advocates continued Fed action
Speaking at a conference in New York today, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren touted the central bank's monetary policies and lent his voice to the wing of the Federal Reserve board that continues to call for strong action to prop up the economy.
"I believe the monetary policies designed to lower mortgage rates and stimulate more activity in interest-sensitive sectors have been effective, and are an important reason why the U.S. economy has performed better than many of our developed-country peers," Rosengren told an audience at the New York Fed. "Work being done at both the Boston and New York Reserve banks has shown that the pass-through of these Fed actions to consumers, appropriately measured, has been quite large."
The New York workshop is focusing on mortgage rates and specifically the spread between first and second mortgages.
"In my view, a strong case can be made for the Federal Reserve continuing to purchase the current $85 billion in longer-term securities a month — even after our so-called 'Operation Twist' maturity-extension program (a portion of those purchases) is completed at the end of 2012," Rosengren added, referring to a monetary policy dubbed Quantitative Easing III. "This is a topic we will be discussing at the next FOMC meeting."
As a result of reaching the zero lower bound for short-term interest rates during the financial crisis, the Fed has engaged in more forward guidance for monetary policy, as well as undertaking large-scale asset purchases, Rosengren said. Both are designed to flatten the yield curve, with the intention of encouraging additional longer-term borrowing.
The Fed's balance sheet changed from under $1 trillion at the end of 2007 to close to $3 trillion in 2012, Rosengren added. At the end of 2007, nearly two-thirds of the Fed's assets were shorter-term Treasury securities and almost one-half of the securities had a maturity of less than one year. As a result of Operation Twist, the balance sheet has become more heavily weighted toward long-duration Treasury securities. In addition, the balance sheet now also includes nearly $880 billion in mortgage-backed securities maturing in more than 10 years.
The demand for cars and houses "should be stimulated" by reducing the borrowing cost of central bank purchases of long-term Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities, Rosengren said.
"By altering interest rates faced by firms and households, as well as expanding the amount of reserves, the transmission of monetary policy is likely to be much more effective given that the economy has already reached the lower bound for short-term interest rates," he said.
Rosengren said he supported policy decisions to provide stimulus through asset purchases.
"I believe that including MBS (mortgage-backed security) purchases in the first and third asset-purchase programs have contributed to a stronger economic outcome than we would have seen in the absence of these approaches," he said. "While asset prices do seem to have been affected by the purchase programs the ultimate goal is to stimulate further economic growth. Thus it is heartening that despite the economic uncertainties, households seem more confident in the economic future and are again purchasing long-term assets such as houses."

They even danced better than the way some Nigerian's dance to it. So,is Psquare's Alingo on the verge of competing with Psy's Gangnam style?

Governor Chet Culver:
A year ago, Governor Culver promised Iowans tens of thousands of new jobs if the legislature would approve his borrowing scheme that would rack up over a billion dollars of debt. The legislature caved into the Governor's demands. By know everyone realized that that freshly paved road in the middle of nowhere doesn't employ anyone.
Even Governor Culver now says his I-Jobs plan will not create the jobs he promised it would. Culver told the Des Moines Register, "I don't think people should expect huge job numbers." A year ago, Culver had said the play would create 21,000 to 30,000 jobs. Now Culver says "hopefully hundreds if not thousands" of jobs will be created.
Governor Culver you're an idiot.
Martha Coakley:
Coakley has to be the worse candidate that I've ever seen. As her race to fill the remaining years on Sen. Ted Kennedy's term, Coakly has made a couple of horrendous gaffes heading into the final weekend before people cast their vote.
Coakley suggested that Catholics who oppose abortion "probably shouldn't work in the emergency room." Massachusetts has one of the largest concentrations of Catholics in the nations.
If that wasn't bad enough, Coakley also said that Curt Schilling is a Yankee fan. WHAT? Here is the transcript of what she said.
The interviewer, Dan Rea, said, "Yeah, but now Scott Brown has Curt Schilling, OK?''
To which Ms. Coakley replied, "And another Yankee fan.''
"Schilling?'' Mr. Rea pressed.
"Yes,'' she said.
"Curt Schilling a Yankee fan?'' he persisted.
"No, all right, I'm wrong on my, I'm wrong,'' she said.
Schilling, who helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in 2007, responded by saying, "I've been called a lot of things, but never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn't know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could…."
Martha Coakley is an idiot, not only do you look like a fool, but you are going to lose the bluest of blue senate seats.
Steve Rathje:
Steve is running for congress in Iowa's 2nd congressional district. Word on the street is that he just sent out a fundraising letter. Good move. EXCEPT that it was six pages long.
Dude, if you can't say what you need to say in two pages you shouldn't be running for office. Now some out there might think that Rathje is the frontrunner in the 2nd district. I mean he does have almost 5,000 Facebook fans…
Steve, you're an idiot for sending out a six page fundraising letter. Let's hope you didn't send it first class.
Matt Strawn:
Strawn and the communications department over at the state party have already been called out by some in the media for emailing out his speech at the RPI legislative breakfast that was closed to the press. I didn't have a problem with it and I'll admit, I actually watched it.
Strawn made a point to talk the race in Iowa House District 89. I'm told that Jared Klein is going to make another run against Rep. Larry Marek. Strawn must think that Republicans can pick up that seat. I mean why else would he have brought it up? Klein didn't raise a dime in 2009, while Marek raised more than $32,000.
I'm no fan of Marek, but he was one of the six pro-business democrats that put a stop to a couple of big labor bills. That means he's going to be pretty difficult to beat in my books. Let's hope this isn't the best pickup opportunity for Iowa Republican in the house. If that's the case, we are all going to look like idiots.

After reading this and finding out the truth of chemo success rates recently (or lack of them) it's becoming clearer and clearer...
The system is flawed, and controlled by money, they are NOT interested in our health.
Sep 30, 2012 - 8:28 pm
Interesting article about these drugs we take. It does not surprise me about these drug companies doing little research on various drugs which may be prescribed to us unsuspecting patients. Our doctors are SO BUSY with heavy workloads and do not have enough time to learn enough about the drugs themselves, also while we are on that point, I do not have much faith in docs or oncologists when it comes down to it. Oncologists titles should be renamed to Toxic Chemotherapy Practioners TCP's. I rather trust my life with an experienced NURSE any day, at least they know about the drugs and other life and Side effects etc…

I like it, we also have 'slash n burn' = surgeon and Onc. Our Onc. is a HUGE fan of radiation, and she's way too busy to ever answer the phone. (probably a good thing)
Take care Andy.

I never would have guessed.
interesting read.
ps where did I learn my shotgun approach to supplements, from the drug companies shotgun approach to clinical trials.
Oct 01, 2012 - 11:30 am
His TED talk was good too. He spoke of solutions which if only they would do could help things. I think the term he used was "professional bias" but I may be wrong (and can't watch the video right now) but ALL clinical trials should be listed, it shouldn't be cherry-picked.
We can only hope we get doctors who try to do the right thing.

It warms hearts to hear a "conventional convert" or "skeptic" that something really is wrong in pharma land. It would have been even more warming 10-12 years earlier.
I am wary of Ben Goldacre as potentially posturing for trojan horse policy changes and broader credibility with less familiar readers. From two previous areas of concern, I have my doubts: his previous attacks on alternative therapeutic nutrition where some of the bad or dangerous science might be his, and his potential "reforms" that might lead to dramatically increased prices of formerly cheap nutrients. Such incidents have already happened in the US to pyridoxamine, an FDA politicized vitamin B6 that disappeared in the US, which one might say that I subsequently had to go to the (other) end of the earth to get; L5MTHF, the healthy form, human active, natural folate; and even more so, Europe's Codex that disappeared many supplements in the most effective forms and sizes.
Oct 02, 2012 - 5:38 am
It warms hearts to hear his skepticism about Big Pharm but you're concerned about his attacks on alternative therapeutic nutrition and reform that could increase the price of nutrients?
Oct 02, 2012 - 8:28 am
It is not a symmetric situation.
Many of the biologically alternatives with real merit have been relentlessly attacked with various poorly founded arguments, literally bad science, looking for a quick dismissal from everyone, including the doctors, regulators and politicians. Goldacre has previously participated in some of these pile-ons that I have contempt for technically.
Now 10-12 years later, after even the former editors of JAMA, NEJM and BMJ have pointed the pharma scandals out too, Goldacre suddenly gets religion and putative consistency, hops on a bandwagon that acknowledges some pharma sins on buried studies. But his criticism, in consideration with prior positions, reeks of "scientific solutions" or "reforms" that will actually aggravate the current problems with price and continued availability of, or access to, "unintended" bystanders like cheap off label generics and supplements. In reality, cheap gets targeted for removal or monopolization. "Chastised" pharma cries to the bank, again.

Newcastle's Aaron Hughes was given that tag after the 3-1 win over Middlesbrough in October when Robson said: "He has a touch of Bobby Moore about him because he reads the game so well."
It's a comparison that Rio Ferdinand has been labelled with for years; inevitably you could say, considering his West Ham upbringing and collected style of play.
The "new Bobby Moore" phrase was back in the press this week as Ferdinand completed his £18 million move to Leeds - a record English transfer fee and the highest amount of money any club in the world has ever paid for a defender.
Ferdinand may well go on to fulfill his potential at Elland Road and prove value for money to Leeds, but the stats from Opta suggest the Moore tag is more suitable when related to Hughes.
The 21-year-old Northern Ireland international has not missed a minute of Premiership football this season and his regular inclusion in the side has helped him flourish as a player.
He has completed 78% of his passes, 10 percentage points better than Ferdinand's record and seven percentage points above the Premiership average.
Hughes also has superior completion rates to Ferdinand in dribbling and tackling - skills traditionally associated with Moore - while the Newcastle man has conceded just four free-kicks this season, an average of about one every three games.
Despite playing less football this term, Ferdinand has completed more clearances and interceptions than Hughes and he has also ventured forward to strike nine shots at goal with a 33% accuracy.
But Magherafelt-born Hughes is making a big impression in this season's Premiership and his manager's praise is certainly not out of place. Click here to see the Opta Stats on Hughes and Ferdinand.

CIBA Vision
CIBA Vision Leverages Process360 to Improve Its Imaging and Workflow Initiatives
CIBA Vision deployed OpenText solutions to integrate with its SAP/AP systems to improve overall cycle times for AP invoice processing and provide visibility and control to AP administrators.
Centralizing operations from an acquisition that circulated paper invoices through interoffice mail for approval, CIBA Vision needed an imaging and workflow solution to improve invoice processing cycle times, eliminate lost invoices and request backlogs, and improve access to processed invoices.
CIBA Vision's OpenText solution leveraged SAP functionality as well as an e-mail approval function, an online signature authorization database for appropriate accounting control, and an automated tickler file for invoices pending approval. The workflow implementation eliminated the manual processes that were limiting productivity and gave AP administrators more control over invoice processing. Management now has access to the data they need to make informed resource decisions.

In the last years new international threats have emerged, making it necessary to add a European dimension to national Security Protection in order to manage the arising risks.
With the Directive 2008/114/EC the European Commission introduced an obligation on member states to identify and design European Critical Infrastructure (ECI). Since the Directive has been in force national authorities and private owners of infrastructure have been confronted with numerous challenges: identifying ECI, applying the rules of the Directive, designing cross border cooperation, involving the private sector and cooperating with private stakeholders most effectively. European Critical Infrastructure resilience can only be achieved through proper and practical crisis and risk management, disaster recovery and security plans. To be able to design a proper action plan on ECI public authorities and private companies in order to establish a dialogue that is as informative as possible.
The European Seminar Critical Infrastructure Protection presents specific knowledge regarding Critical Infrastructure and the latest developments and main issues connected with the identification of ECI. Participants will learn how to set up successful cooperation and dialogues between private and public stakeholders. The seminar provides useful best practical examples, including how to make ECI more resilient through effective practical contingency planning.
The seminar is targeting public authorities and private companies responsible for the establishment of Action Plans and who are involved in the identification, planning and implementation of protection for critical infrastructure sites.

Can You Survive?
One of the tabletop games I'm loving at the moment is Zombicide, I have a whole bunch of stuff to post on this game soon. However, one of my favourite game making companies has gone and thrown me a curve ball. Mantic Games recently scored the rights to make The Walking Dead as a game. Now, my gaming group will be able to quote me in saying, 'I love Zombicide, and I really don't need another Zombie game in my life'.
Having said that, this popped into my inbox this morning:
The Walking Dead: All Out War Miniatures Game. Today we're pleased to show off the first pictures of The Walking Dead: All Out War Miniatures Game.
The Walking Dead: All Out War is a boxed miniature-based wargame including 20 highly detailed collectible figurines plus game components such as character cards, equipment and loot cards, event cards, game dice with custom symbols, templates, mat and more - everything you need to play in one simple set.
Here are some more preview images:
|It's RICK!!!!
Okay, first off it is based on the comic book, not the TV Show, and as much as I love the TV Show, I love the comic that little bit more. This has got me really excited, and owning a couple of Mantic Games games as well has me doubly excited. I'm really looking forward to seeing some more information about The Walking Dead: All Out War Miniatures Game, and I'm going to be really interested to see how the mechanics work as Walking Dead is a war game (two or more factions battling one another) over a board game (groups of players working towards a common goal) as with Zombicide.

Fitness, Hair and Health. How do they all relate? Well it depends on who you ask. As a professional cosmetologist with 20 years experience, I have spoken to thousands of women and many of them have experienced challenges with these topics at some point in their lives. However, in past years, women have become more proactive when it comes to their health. Therefore, for many, the battle between Fitness and Hair has decreased. On the other hand, many women continue to struggle with the mere thought of staying/getting fit and the effects it has on their HAIR!
It is a fact that in America it has become the norm to be overweight. With approximately 73% of Americans considered overweight speaks volumes about our lifestyles. We are so consumed with fast, convenient, and instant gratification that we have don't have the patience to put in the time it takes to get amazing results! For instance, we can find the time to exercise but who has the time to "fuss" with their hair afterwards??? Or, what about those of us who say, "I just got my hair done" and refuses to participate in ANY cardio driven activities!
Mocha Millenium Women and I partnered to facilitate the very 1st Healthy Hair Healthy Body event! This innovative event had goals of crushing the myths about maintaining hair as you workout, maintaining a fit body while having beautiful hair, and getting women moving with a NightClub Cardio class. Women from around the Houston Metro area attended and were refreshed with a wealth of information. We will definitely have more events in the future in hopes of giving back to our community and changing lives!
To each reader, let this blog post be an encouragement to you. Here are a few tips to keeping your Hair and Body Healthy:
Healthy Hair Tips (Courtesy of Moi….Candace Walls owner of Sovereign Styles Hair Studio Houston, TX)
1. Keep hair and scalp clean! Clean hair and scalp create the healthiest atmosphere for your hair.
2. Use a great Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner! Design Essentials Honey Creme Super Moisturizing Detangling Shampoo and Stimulations Super Moisturizing Conditioner are great choices for active lifestyles. If you prefer natural products Design Essentials Natural has an array of moisturizing products. Order Design Essentials online.
3. Minimize the use of heat styling! Heat physically alters our hair. Overheating leads to dryness, brittleness and breakage.
4. Loose ponytails, pinnups, twists and wraps help in protecting your hair from vigorous workouts! If you choose to cover your hair during workouts be sure to use a satin or silk head tie. Your cotton counterpart may absorb sweat however, it will also absorb the natural oils and moisture from your hair.
5. Visit a Professional Stylist regularly to maintain a Healthy Hair Status!
Health and Fitness Tips: (courtesy of Dr. Teriya Richmond founder of Mocha Millennium Women)
1. Get Moving!! American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. Walking counts!!
2. Drink water as often as possible.
3. Make healthy food choices! Try eating food in its purest form ie fruits, veggies, grains, and lean meats.
4. Manage your stress! Stress increases cortisol levels which increases your sugar levels and makes you hold on to belly fat! Pray, Meditate, do Yoga or even exercise to help relieve stress!
5. See your Doctor for routine physicals!!
We want to continue to destroy the myths surrounding exercising and hair care! Why not strive to have the best of BOTH worlds! #HealthyHairHealthyBody
Stay tuned for another PHENOMENAL Healthy Hair Healthy Body Event November 2014!!
Good Luck in reaching all of your goals toward a Healthy Hair and Healthy Body!

Symptoms of Rosacea | Medical Dermatologist-Guided Treatment Options Offered
Rosacea is a condition most often seen in fair-skinned individuals. It is characterized by persistent redness and broken blood vessels on the face, most often caused by frequent flushing. These individuals might have a hypersensitivity to spicy food, hot food, alcohol, and the sun. Exposure to these triggers causes blood to rush to the face, causing it to redden. The condition can occur in darker-skinned people, too, but it likely to be less noticeable.
The Four Phases of Rosacea
Rosacea has four phases, though it does not always progress through all four in every person.
- Frequent flushing – a person will tend to flush quite frequently
- Vascular level – the blood vessels swell and leak at a faster rate than normal, causing the skin to look puffy and feel warm. Dilated blood vessels are easier to see. They are commonly called spider veins. The skin can also become more sensitive to cosmetics or sunscreens, resulting in a slight burning or tingling sensation
- Inflammatory phase – characterized by small red bumps and pustules. Itlooks similar to acne, but is treated differently. A dermatologist can identify the underlying cause of the bumps.
- Severe phase – in its final and most severe phase, late rosacea includes all the symptoms of the previous stages but they are more severe. More spider veins can develop and appear more noticeable. At its worst, the skin can thicken and cause the nose to become bulbous.
Are there treatment options for rosacea?
Despite common belief, rosacea is treatable. People with fair skin or frequent flushing should use a sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF every day. Topical cleansers containing sulfur or sodium sulfacetamide can be used to gently clean the skin. Topical medications and creams may be prescribed to control the redness and inflammation. Broken blood vessels can be treated with lasers.The V-Beam Laser is an extremely popular treatment option, not only because of its effectiveness, but also because of the integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which emits a short spray of cryogen onto the skin milliseconds before each laser pulse. This results in far greater comfort for patients during treatment.
Because rosacea normally progresses, it is important to see a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. A doctor can offer preventative measures to keep rosacea from worsening, and to also treat the symptoms that come along with this skin disease.

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal but coming up with new breakfast ideas is always a bit challenging, especially when you are on the go, and need something to keep you full for awhile. This breakfast bowl was created out of my need for breakfast that was simple, convenient, and well, could be made in a hotel room. Since I have been traveling so often, I have been stuck starving, refusing to eat the free hotel breakfast. So, after many frustrating mornings, the chia recipe bowl was born.
Chia seed is extremely nutrition dense. It's a great bulking agent and definitely keeps you full for awhile. Furthermore, it's my favorite recommendation to anyone who is dealing with slow transit time, aka, constipation. Just a few of my favorite facts about chia:
- 8x More Omega-3s Than Salmon – chia offers superior Omega 3 benefits to fish oils and salmon without the strong taste. Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function, growth and development. Chia is the richest vegetarian source of EFA's in nature, with over 2,500mg of Omega-3s per tablespoon.
- 25% more Dietary Fiber than Flax Seed – Rich fiber content is one of the main reasons chia is considered nature's perfect whole food. Dietary fiber has been proven to lower high blood levels of cholesterol. Because of chia's ability to absorb several times its weight in water, it may also help to curb hunger.
- 30% more Antioxidants than Blueberries – Laboratory and research has shown antioxidants help prevent the free radical damage that is associated with cancer.
- 15x more Magnesium than Broccoli – Magnesium helps with formation of bone and teeth and assists in the absorption of calcium and potassium. Where calcium stimulates the muscles, magnesium is used to relax the muscles.
- 7x more Antioxidants than Oranges – antioxidants promotes a healthy immune system, helps wounds heal, maintains connective tissue and aids in the absorption of iron.
- 6x more Calcium than Whole Milk – Calcium is the chief supportive element in bones and teeth. Calcium salts make up about 70% of bone by weight and give your bone its strength and rigidity.
- 3x more Iron than Spinach – The main function of iron is to help carry oxygen from the lungs to the muscles and other organs. When iron is low this oxygen consumption slows down.
- 50% more Folate than Asparagus – Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA – which is critical during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. Folate also helps to prevent changes to DNA that my lead to cancer.
Okay, okay now for the chia recipe:
2-3 Tbs Chia seeds
1 Tbs Tocos (for a creamy vanilla flavor packed with Vitamin E and nutrients)
1 Tbs Maca (awesome adaptogenic root for improved energy, mood and hormone balance)
1/2-1 Scoop Brown Rice Protein Powder
1 Tsp Coconut Oil (great fat for sustained energy and improved metabolism)- I put some in a small mason jar in advance
1 Tbs Hemp Seeds (essential fatty acids, minerals and protein)
1 Tbs Goji Berries (super tasty and a super vitamin C boost)
1 Tbs Cacao Nibs (packed with magnesium, minerals and crunch)
1 chopped up Banana and fresh berries
* Note: you can choose to also add any fresh ground nut butter (raw is best) such as almond or cashew.
1. Take 2-3 tbs of chia seeds and put in a bowl. Add about 4-6 ounces of hot water and stir. They will magically turn into an oatmeal- like consistency in about 3 minutes.
2. Add in other ingredients and mix.
3. That's it! Enjoy!

Feel the vibration? There's an app for that
By Will Watson
January 18, 2017
It can strike in offices, apartments, shopping malls, and even on bridges: the dreaded bouncy floor. One minute you're strolling across a reassuringly stable surface and the next you're jolted into remembering that it's not solid ground, but part of a man-made structure that can move and vibrate. And while this sensation (typically) doesn't mean that your safety is at risk, it can be annoying and disconcerting. In sensitive environments like surgical wards and science labs, the effects can be more serious.
Human-induced vibration
Footfall vibration happens because each step we take applies what engineers call a dynamic impact force to the floor. Usually this results in very minor vibrations that building occupants don't notice. Sometimes, however, a person or group can walk in sync with the floor: in other words, the footsteps match the frequency at which the structure naturally wants to vibrate.
This leads to a buildup of vibration called a resonant response that can cause the floor to move. (In ancient Rome troops used to break step when crossing a bridge to avoid this scenario.)
Arup has a long history of designing new structures to mitigate this effect. We also provide advanced measurement of vibrations for existing structures, often through our Advanced Technology and Research (AT&R) team.
Accurately measuring floor vibrations typically requires highly calibrated (and very expensive) equipment, but from time to time it would be useful to take a quick measurement of vibration before embarking on a full-blown investigation.
The problem was, there just hasn't been a tool out there for the job.
iPhone investigations
A few months ago my colleague Mark Nelson, an AT&R consultant in the New York office, visited Seattle to conduct an assessment of an existing building. Looking at the professional equipment he had brought with him, we started talking about how the iPhone's accelerometer might compare. We ran some tests of our pro equipment side by side with the iPhone, then uploaded the results to his laptop to see how the recordings compared.
The verdict: pretty well. While the iPhone results aren't as accurate as the pro equipment (which we expected), in terms of providing a quick, user-friendly estimate, their value was clear.
Seeing an idea worth pursuing, we applied for a chunk of Arup's internal research funding to develop an app capable of using the iPhone's internal accelerometers to measure floor vibrations.
An app for all
Working with a team of specialists in Arup offices around the world, we created the Footfall app, now available as a free download on the iTunes store.
Its simple interface allows users to measure the vibration of any floor (or stair) and obtain information that will help them understand and communicate about the movement. The app also includes background information explaining the basics of vibration measurement to help non-engineers interpret what they're seeing.
We're hoping that people around the world will try it (Android users, your turn is coming soon!) and provide feedback — and that the floors of the future will be less bouncy as a result.

N.B. As things currently stand, tests cannot prove the absence of Lyme disease. It's always best to seek the advice of a medical practitioner with experience of Lyme disease as sometimes a clinical diagnosis is necessary.
If you have further questions on testing for Lyme disease, don't hesitate to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or join our friendly discussion group on Facebook and post your questions there.
Testing for Lyme disease is a controversial and highly debated area of medicine. LDUK does not endorse any particular type of Lyme disease testing but instead strives to highlight all available, known options.
Four publications analyse independent studies of test accuracy. A short summary can be found here.
"In comparison to the methods used for HIV, Lyme disease testing can generate between 170 and 560 times as many false negative results"
NHS Testing
The initial testing method for Lyme disease offered by the NHS is an ELISA test which is usually performed at a local hospital laboratory and takes a few days or possibly a week to come back. Although there have been no specific studies to find out the percentage of false negatives in the UK, the reliability of the ELISA test appears to be questionable and it's important to be aware that a negative result cannot rule out Lyme disease, especially as it can take up to 6-8 weeks after being infected for it to show up in blood tests, if at all.
If the ELISA test is positive or equivocal, the blood sample is usually sent to the Rare and Imported Pathogens Laboratory (RIPL) at Porton Down in England or the NHS Highland National Lyme Borreliosis Testing Laboratory at Raigmore Hospital in Scotland. The next round of testing for Lyme disease is then carried out which involves a Western blot (sometimes called an Immunoblot) test.
You can request printouts of both of these tests and it's advisable to do so for your own records.
The NHS sometimes use a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test to look for antibodies. Samples are obtained by carrying out a lumbar puncture. An EIA is then used to confirm the presence of antibodies to Borrelia. It is possible for this test to produce a positive result for Lyme disease before blood tests turn positive but it also has a high rate of false negatives.
Private UK Labs
In the UK, it is possible to pay for private Western Blot testing for Lyme disease using the same test kit as the NHS uses, without producing a positive ELISA result first. This may be useful if your GP cannot order a Western Blot directly for some reason. Both laboratories use the same testing facilities as the NHS located at RIPL, Porton Down and therefore the result should be accepted by NHS doctors. It is important to be aware that these tests have the same issues as the NHS tests when it comes to low sensitivity and false negative results.
- County Pathology Limited
You either need your GP to authorise a Western Blot test or a doctor at this private laboratory can authorise it for you for a fee of £25.
- The Doctors Laboratory
Your GP needs to write a letter to request this Western Blot test.
Private Overseas Labs
There are private laboratories abroad which offer testing for Lyme disease that some Lyme disease doctors prefer to use. These laboratories also offer testing for a wide range of co-infections. These laboratories include ArminLabs and BCA Lab in Germany as well as IGeneX and Immunosciences Lab and in the USA. There is also Innatoss laboratory in the Netherlands. It is important to remember that the NHS don't tend to accept results from these independent laboratories and that LDUK does not endorse any private laboratory. As these test results aren't generally accepted by the NHS, this leaves many patients seeking private treatment for Lyme disease and associated conditions.
- ArminLabs offer an Immunoblot test (called a SeraSpot), an LTT EliSpot as well as a PCR test. They also test for a variety of co-infections with both EliSpot and antibody testing. The laboratory has DAkkS accreditation. The Academy of Nutritional Medicine is the official UK representative for ArminLabs and all Lyme disease testing enquiries in this country should be submitted to this organisation. You can send your blood samples by courier and so you do not have to go to the laboratory in person.
- BCA Lab offers a similar range of testing as ArminLabs using test kits and the laboratory has DAkkS accreditation.
- IGeneX offers a Western Blot test that includes more bands than the NHS test. They also provide antibody testing for co-infections and a PCR test.
- Immunosciences Lab offers a multi-peptide ELISA test for Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella and Ehrlichia. Also on offer is Immunoserology of Lyme disease by MPE and Western Blot. It is possible to order this test through the London Clinic of Nutrition by emailing email@example.com or calling 02033320030. If you can find someone to do your blood draw locally, you can send your sample in the post to the London Clinic of Nutrition and they will forward it on to Immunosciences Lab. If you are local to the clinic, they offer a phlebotomy service for £35.
- Innatoss Laboratories is based in the Netherlands and it is an accredited laboratory which offers CE approved testing. The following 5 tests are on offer for Lyme disease:
- ELISA IgG (Euroimmun)
- ELISA IgM (Euroimmun)
- Western blot 1 (usually Euroimmun IgG/IgM/Mikrogen recomLine)
- Western blot 2 (usually Euroimmun IgG/IgM/Mikrogen recomLine)
The Western blot selected depends on the result of the ELISA test and Mikrogen is the same test kit manufacturer as the one used by the National Lyme Borreliosis Testing Laboratory (NLBTL) in Scotland. The difference is, Innatoss includes both the IgG and IgM test, whereas the NTBTL only uses the IgG test. Evidence and recommendations from the test kit manufacturers suggests that using both IgG and IgM in Western blot testing improves sensitivity.
The charity LymeAid UK offer grants for ArminLabs testing.
Alternative Medicine Testing
Some alternative practitioners use bioresonance machines and other energetic techniques to test patients for infections and illnesses. This form of testing for Lyme disease is highly controversial and isn't scientifically validated but some practitioners and patients feel it may be useful. You can find alternative pracititoners here who may use energetic testing methods.
Other tests are available in the USA such as the Advanced Laboratory Services culture test for Lyme disease and the Bartonella testing from Galaxy Diagnostics.

Overall, our experience with Welligent has been a positive one. We appreciate how responsive Chip is with our needs, and we had a smooth IBHIS transition. We do struggle with support, in that our tickets are not always handled in a timely manner.

There were times when I felt that Welligent wasn't very user friendly but I know feel more comfortable. Trainings have been very helpful and I love the new update.
Really like the new Update.
The difficulty at times to figure out certain steps.
Would love to have representatives monitor into my computer and see the step by step process and requested changes to fit our agency. I am a visual learner.

Overall our experience has been a good one! We have learned quite a bit and we continue to discover all that we can accomplish in the system; but the best part is the human component, anytime we need assistance we can count on an account representative to help us clarify or resolve the situation on a timely manner, if they cannot do it right away, they investigate and follow up, keep up the good work!
The V8 upgrade has made the system a lot easier to navigate.
Reports are so difficult to analyze.

I have been using Welligent for 3 years as the local admin for a mid sized non-profit agency. Welligent has exceeded my expectation in both customer service and functionality. I have yet to find something for out outpatient clinic that can't be done in Welligent! Great system to use and great people to work with!

Feeling the burn— together
File photo. Justin and Jessica Rundle have launched Workout Anywhere, an online fitness program that takes participants through a variety of workouts at varying fitness levels.
"We might do a little bit of friendly ribbing," she said.
But mostly, mutual support of each other's fitness goals keeps them going, and any competitiveness only spurs a desire to boost personal performance, she said.
The couple regularly workout at Choice Health & Fitness, where they take a variety of classes including Spinning and weight-training.
Mutual support is "pretty important" to sticking with their exercise routine, she said.
"If one person doesn't feel like going (to the gym), the other does. We encourage each other." Read more.

Saab 9-3 news - Saab raises the roof - 2006
Saab is blowing its top to celebrate 20 years of building convertibles.
The Saab 9-3 Convertible Cerulean may be a bit of a mouthful, but it comes down to a unique blue metallic paint finish, one-off alloy wheel design, and leather seats with blue trim inserts.
The Cerulean special edition is available with the full range of engines, and prices start at £27,979 when the limited-edition model goes on sale at the end of February.
The first Saab soft-top, the 900 Convertible, went on sale in January 1986 as a limited run of 400 models for the US.
Its popularity prompted Saab to put the car into full production in 1987, and more than 240,000 Saab drop-tops have been sold since.

before he sells the beans to jack, he is born in a house that smells of ceder.
his name is Tiffany. a bold bright name. a stardust name. a girl name. but he is not a girl. he knows this, even if others don't. his mother puts him in dresses, teaches him how to sew, chastises him when he lets his voice get low.
"my great-aunt's friend's sister," says his mother, with her red lips tight, "once knew these girls that spoke and diamonds came out of their mouths. you know what happened to the nasty one? she got toads. that's your future if you don't figure out how to be a nice little girl."
so he speaks gently. but the whole time he is wondering: who gave them the language of gems. who gave them the language that rolled out of them. it must be magic. and if there is magic, maybe there is hope for him.
he takes off in a dark night. a sad night. one where the fire was too low and he was sick of mirrors. he leaves his mother a note: gone to find where the gems grow.
in the black woods, he cuts off his hair. wears his father's clothes. feels, at last, whole. runs and runs and runs until his air comes out in a wheeze. walks for weeks and weeks.
he finds the old woman carrying water. she is ugly, her mouth all twisted angry. but she carries the water alone.
the boy does not have much. but he has shoulders. a good back. hands that work. when he takes her burden, she says, "thank you, young man." and he smiles at her, but doesn't say anything.
her house is damp. she feeds him stew, apologizes. says she used to make lovely foods but the price of milk and eggs got far too high. she says: if you carry my water for five weeks, i will give you something special. and he agrees.
she talks for him. spends a lot of time telling him of people he never met. girls with lips blood red. girls with white fairy dresses. boys who fell in love with swans.
the boy says little. just nods. sleeps on the floor of her empty barn. when she's not looking, he darns her clothes for her, keeps the floors swept, fills the lanterns with oil, makes her a blanket for the coming winter.
on the end of the fifth week, she gives him the beans. tells him that they have been passed down in her family, that this was her portion. she says that she is too old now for such adventures. that she hears the beans will bring treasure. fortune. all the things of greed. she says: i will give them to you, for what you have done to me.
in the morning, he takes off. he feels the weight of them in his pocket. he thinks of the old woman and the stories and the sight of her tired hands. he stands in the market for a long time, unspeaking, simply staring at the cobblestones beneath him.
jack's voice is the last call in the evening. a beautiful cow, young and thick and healthy.
the boy has no money. he bounces the magic bean in his pocket, and thinks of treasures.
"wait," he says.
jack turns.
transaction complete: one cow for a handful of magic beans. the boy walks the cow home to the old woman, gets there in the morning. they are both very tired. he falls asleep beside the beast in the hay. dreams of the foods the old woman can cook now that she can get milk.
when he wakes up, he is changed. it is as if he simply turned into who he was made to be. not a new body. familiar. the body he could always see.
the old woman stands at the door of his barn. she says, "good morning," and then she says a new word. a word he's never heard. a name. his name. a boy name.
he repeats it. it is a jewel in his mouth, so he says it again. another diamond.
"time to fetch water," she says, winking. the whole way, he whispers his name. it never quite tastes the same, always beautiful, always a fine thing, always his. the something special he was lacking.
in the back of his pocket, there is one last magic bean. he will fetch the water and plant it. and he will carry that old woman to the castles she has never seen.

The movie which is based on the 2012 South Korean film released in 2012, is directed by Irie Yu and adapted to incorporate Japanese elements. The story begins in the year 1995 where there were 5 peculiar murder cases. The murderer would always get someone close to the victim to witness how he would strangle the victim from behind with a rope but he would let the witnesses go and speak to the media on how the murders happened. Ito plays the role of Makimura Kou, the police detective who was in charge of investigating the serial murders but failed to catch the cunning murderer and his respected superior ended up being killed as well. 22 years later in 2017 when the case is nearing its statute of limitations, a man named Sonezaki Masato claims to be the culprit for the 1995 murders and even publishes a book titled "Watashi ga satsujinhan desu" to talk about the cases. Despite the disgust towards Sonezaki's actions, the intensive attention showered on him via the media and SNS makes him become the talk of town.

Fred Lucas | Staff Writer | Thursday, January 17, 2008
(CNSNews.com) - Yet another racially charged comment has entered the contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, and this time it harkens back to the Clinton impeachment scandal.
On Sunday, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the "spiritual adviser" to presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), spoke from the pulpit of his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The topic was Obama's chief Democratic opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Some black Americans want to support Sen. Clinton, said Wright, "because her husband was good to us," the Baltimore Sun reported.
"That's not true," said Wright. "He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky." Wright was referencing President Clinton's "affair" with a White House intern, an affair that reportedly involved acts of oral sex. The scandal led to Clinton's impeachment by the U.S. House and to charges of obstruction of justice.
In a statement, Obama said, "As I've told the Rev. Wright, personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or a pulpit of a church."
Nonetheless, the event underscores the role race is playing in the Democratic presidential battle, even after a seemingly conciliatory debate among Democrats on Tuesday in Las Vegas. Analysts predict Democrats will bridge the divide when the nomination fight is over.
That divide widened last week when Sen. Clinton made comments about the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The day before the Jan. 8 New Hampshire primary, Sen. Clinton said, "Dr. King's dream began to be realised when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It took a president to get it done.""
"I've been on a lot of radio talk shows and people are still calling in angry," Ron Walters, a political science professor with expertise on African-American politics at the University of Maryland, told Cybercast News Service.
"The reference to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a time when people are celebrating his birthday, implying or inferring that civil rights would not have occurred if not for Lyndon Johnson seems to devalue Dr. King's contribution," Walters said.
Clinton has since explained that she wasn't marginalizing King's role, only explaining the legislative process, and she apparently implied that Obama was comparing himself to King.
But other analysts insist it is unfair to say that Clinton is playing the race card in her campaign.
"It's a real stretch to say Hillary Clinton is playing the race card," Matthew Wilson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, said in an interview. "She stated Lyndon Johnson was instrumental in the Civil Rights Act. That's true. It was not meant to denigrate Martin Luther King or the civil rights movement."
'Orchestrated effort'
Campaigning for Clinton in Nevada, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, Robert L. Johnson, defended Clinton's statement regarding King before alluding to Obama's admitted teenage drug use.
"I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood -- and I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in the book -- when they have been involved," said Johnson.
This is "absolutely" a pattern of Clinton playing the race card, said the University of Maryland's Walters
"Bob Johnson's comments were over the top, but it seems it's clearly an orchestrated effort," Walters said. He added that the Clintons already have a record of playing racial politics, given Bill Clinton's 1992 "Sister Souljah moment."
"He went to the Rev. Jackson's convention to prove he was tough on blacks to get the Reagan Democrats back," Walters said. "Here it is again. The Clintons have a track record."
Late last year, Bill Shaheen, co-chairman of Clinton's New Hampshire campaign, said if Obama were nominated, Republicans would ask about his drug use and say, "Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?"
Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Clinton supporter, suggested that Obama might be a Muslim. Clinton supporter and New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's phrase "shuck and jive," used in describing Obama, was perceived by many to be racially charged as well.
Other black commentators, such as New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, see a clear pattern.
"And there was Mrs. Clinton telling the country we don't need 'false hope' and taking cheap shots at, of all people, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," Herbert wrote last week. "We'd already seen Clinton surrogates trying to implant the false idea that Mr. Obama might be a Muslim, and perhaps a drug dealer to boot."
'Not out of character'
The racial tone of the campaign doesn't come as any surprise to Mychal Massie, national chairman of Project 21, a conservative black group.
"Democrats use the race and gender card in every election cycle," Massie told Cybercast News Service .
He said the Democratic Party has not historically been friendly to blacks, despite the fact that blacks vote 90 percent Democrat in presidential elections.
"What Hillary didn't say is that if LBJ hadn't gone to Republicans for help, he never would have passed the Civil Rights act because it was Democrats - like (West Virginia Sen.) Robert Byrd and (former Tennessee Sen.) Al Gore Sr. - who were opposed to it," said Massie. "Democrats either savage blacks or they tell blacks someone else is doing this to them."
Massie added that the Clinton tactics are "beneath the pale" for politics, but "not out of character for the Clintons."
Polls indicate black voters are siding with Obama in the nomination contest. Obama leads Clinton among black voters in a national Gallup poll, 56-33 percent. In South Carolina, a Rasmussen Poll showed Obama leading Clinton 38-33 percent among black voters, who make up nearly half of South Carolina's Democrats.
Wilson, of Southern Methodist University, said politics is rough, and many of the other attacks hurled at Obama would have been hurled at any candidate. He recalled that candidate George W. Bush's rumored past drug use was reported during the 2000 election cycle.
But Wilson said if the primary is too split along racial lines, it could cause problems for Clinton if she is the nominee.
"She will win 90 percent of the black vote against any Republican," he said. "It's not about black voters defecting to a Republican. The risk is that black voters might stay home if they are not motivated. Race is a risky element in her campaign."

John H.H.Strodthoff immi. April 1848NY
I'm a Strodthoff in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. My relatives came over from Germany between 1848 and 1850. they came from Hannover, Germany, from the towns of Harpstedt, hostedt and/or Schulenberg. I'm looking for information on Strodthoff's who had three children who came to the USA: John Herman Heinrick born August 15, 1823; Anna Maria Elizabeth born in 1829; and John born in 1830. John H. H. immigrated around 1848 to New York. He married Anna Marie Fanger or Tanger before he immigrated or when he settled in New York. He worked in New York at a sugar factory and then bought land in Newton, Wisconsin (a small town near Manitowoc) in April 1851. By April 1852 he and his wife were living in Newton as their first child was born there that month. We suspect he came from the Schulenberg / Hostedt area as there was another Strodthoff that immigrated from that area in 1868 and came to Manitowoc, also. Might have been cousins or some type of relative. Oh John H.H.'s parents are listed as John Herman Strodthoff and Anna Jesina Jedebrook from Hannover, Germany. Strodthoff's are very few and far between in USA. If you have any Strodthoff ancestry in your genealogy line, would love to hear from you. Maybe we can connect somewhere. Hope to hear from someone, anyone!! Caritas Strodthoff

How to Plan the Ideal Road Trip Jan 26, 2016 by Cedric (Driver Weekly)
Whether you want to take a road trip with your family or a group of friends, or just have some quiet time alone in the car, it will take a bit of planning. Taking the time to plan can make the difference between having just a good trip and having a perfect adventure. Planning for a road trip is different than another type of vacation, especially if you plan on making multiple stops along the way. If you are simply driving to your destination and don't need to see anything along the way, you can treat it as an ordinary vacation with some extra travel time. To get the most of your road trip, however, follow these planning tips.
Plan It All Ahead of Time
Spontaneity can be fun, but making too many unscheduled stops during your road trip can mean you quickly run out of time. Instead, take the time to sit down with everyone who will be going on the road trip and figure out how many stops you want to make, where they will be, and how long to stay there. Look online to see what attractions are along your route so you can narrow down your options.
Be Flexible
While you want to have your plans and destinations all laid out, make sure you factor in some wiggle room along the way. Consider making a list of places or attractions you definitely want to stop at and another of places you would like to if there is time. This way, you can play it by ear and avoid getting behind schedule. Don't forget to include some extra time in your planning for unexpected attractions you see signs for along the road. A little bit of spontaneity can make your road trip exciting as long as you have time for it on your schedule.
Plan What to Bring
GPS units and built-in navigation systems are great for road trips, but you don't want to rely on a single device too much. Even if you have an onboard navigation system, bring along an extra GPS and grab a physical map of the area where you will be driving. One of the biggest costs and time-wasters on a road trip is stopping to get a snack or meal. You will want to occasionally visit a restaurant or fast food place so you can get out of the car and stretch your legs. Even so, it is a good idea to keep snacks, drinks, and even some sandwiches in the car so you don't have to stop every time someone gets hungry. This way, you can have a snack to keep hunger at bay and wait until you find a cheaper place to eat. Don't forget to make sure your car is in good shape before you hit the road and pack things to keep you and the others entertained.
