Rick Manning; Donald Trump's Health Care Dance
Do issues still matter to Republican voters, or are they so mad at the failed GOP establishment that they have forgotten what made them mad in the first place? Donald Trump's past flirtation with a nationalized government run health care system brings this question starkly into play. In his book, "The America We Deserve," published in 2000, ... MORE
Trump on 60 Minutes: "We Need Socialized Medicine"
by Emily Zanotti. This weekend, I got my third health insurance cancellation notice in three years. First, they cancelled the wonderful individual plan we bought for ourselves before the Obamacare law kicked in, after threatening to raise the price on it by over 50%. Then, they cancelled the plan we selected from the then-nonworking ... MORE

Sorry, Liberals: Obamacare Won't Lead to Single Payer
by Peter Suderman. If you spend any significant amount of time talking to conservative activists who oppose Obamacare, you'll eventually hear some variant on the theory that Obamacare was never meant to work. Instead, it was meant to destroy the existing health care system, and in the process pave the way for liberals to step in with the ... MORE

by Peter Suderman.

Great strides have been made in adaptive sports over the last few decades, with many of them being written about here in our blog. One sport that we haven't covered recently was bowling.
The organization that has supported many of the advances in the sport of adaptive bowling is The American Wheelchair Bowling Association. The organization is comprised of over 500 members and growing. They've helped many people enjoy a sport that they love with the use of specialized adaptive equipment, including ball ramps, ball grip handles and ball pushers. Their most recent national event was the 56th Annual AWBA Tournament held at City View Lanes in Fort Worth, Texas. Visit the AWBA events page for more information.

Lingerie Football League looks for credibility
Turns out the lingerie was just getting in the way.
The former Lingerie Football League is changing its name, logo and requirement that all the women on a team play football in what amounts to a bikini with shoulder pads. This is a monumental change for a league that had an "accidental nudity" clause reportedly written into its player contracts.
Imagine if fondue wanted to end its association with melted cheese.
When you take away the gimmick -- Chicks in underpants! Accidental nudity! Girls Girls! Girls! -- what is left?
There is already a tackle football league for women. They wear full pads, helmets, mouth guards. And when they do their hair before the game, it's for functionality.
I covered the Women's Football Alliance championship game last August at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Those women weren't worried about how glam they were; it was about putting the most competitive product on the field. If those linebackers had come across a bikini model at running back, let's just say it wouldn't be a fair fight.
But it looks like the LFL is trying to change focus. In an announcement on its website, the league said it be called the Legends Football League. It will replace the lace with performance wear. It's even changing its tagline from "True Fantasy Football" to "Women of the Gridiron."
It's an interesting transition. What will distinguish the Legends from other women's tackle leagues? Can jello wrestling or exotic dancing ever go straight? Will the league keep its audience when its players are dressed?
The good news for anyone mourning the passing of the LFL's original "mission"? The Bikini Basketball Association is scouring the nation for "sexy, athletic ladies" as I write.

A majority of the MPs in the House of Commons backed a bill that allows Prime Minister Theresa May to initiate the process of pulling Britain out of the EU.
British MPs overwhelmingly backed a bill on Wednesday empowering Prime Minister Theresa May to start negotiations on leaving the European Union, bringing Brexit a significant step closer.
Members of the House of Commons voted by 494 votes to 122 for a law enabling May to trigger Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, which begins two years of talks on pulling Britain out of the 28-nation bloc.
"We've seen a historic vote tonight – a big majority for getting on with negotiating our exit from the EU and a strong, new partnership with its member states," said Brexit minister David Davis.
The unamended two-clause bill now moves to the House of Lords, where there may be more opposition from unelected peers – and where May's Conservative party does not have a majority.
But its passage through the Commons, where two-thirds of MPs had campaigned against Brexit ahead of the June referendum, puts May on course to begin the withdrawal process by the end of March, as she has vowed.
Labour headaches
The referendum result sent shock waves around Europe, spooking investors and raising fears for the future of the EU itself.
In the early weeks, there was speculation that pro-European lawmakers might try to delay or even stop the Brexit process.
May initially sought to bypass parliament, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court, which last month ruled she must obtain their approval to trigger Article 50.
But during five days of debate on the resulting government bill, it became clear that most MPs would not stop the process -- even if some warned that leaving Europe's single market could be disastrous.
The opposition Labour party and the smaller Scottish National Party (SNP) tabled amendments demanding guarantees on market access, workers' rights and those of EU citizens in Britain.
Each was defeated, although during the process the government was forced to promise lawmakers a vote on the final Brexit deal before it is concluded.
Labour imposed a "three-line whip," a tough disciplinary measure ordering its MPs not to oppose the legislation, ensuring it would pass.
But some 52 Labour MPs rebelled in Wednesday's vote, including business spokesman Clive Lewis who resigned shortly beforehand, bringing a fresh headache for embattled leftist leader Jeremy Corbyn.
After two-thirds of Labour voters backed Brexit, many of them driven by concerns over mass immigration from the rest of the EU, Corbyn decided his party could not block the process.

Social studies, 6
Here I was at Ireland in a taxi looking out the window I had pass by 6 different major landforms. They were called the Burren, Connemara, Glenveagh, Killarney, Wicklow Mountain, and Ballycroy. Finally the taxi drop me off at the beach which is the Atlantic ocean the Atlantic ocean is one of the relative location of Ireland. The beach Celtic sea was a couple of miles down which is also one of Ireland relative location. It was a little cold for summer but I didn't't know that the average of Ireland for the summer was 65f !
I was done with the beach I was tired and wet a taxi pick me up and I went to the hotel. I ask someone where was a local restaurant I could go, but I couldn't understand them because they were speaking Irish! A taxi had pick me up and I went to a restaurant that looked pretty cute. I had pick up a menu, I was reading it, everything sounded so good like… colcannon- mashed potatoes with cabbage and leeks, they also had other foods like… Irish stew- lamb with potatoes onions and carrots, I had ask a waiter if this is there popular foods from Ireland and he said yes. For the appetizers there were soda bread-light bread containing buttermilk and baking soda and black pudding- sausage made with pigs blood. For drinks they had a beer called stout and a lot of different teas. I had order the colcannon the soda bread and the beer, stout. It was really yummy. I woke up feeling really good I heard a lot of noises. Today was one of the holidays of Ireland, the bank holidays. They celebrated all day long I ask if there were anymore holidays coming up they said Christmas and Stephens day were coming up and new years day, st Patrick's day, Easter, and labour day already passed. During the day they played popular sports like hurling, Gaelic football, soccer, rugby, horse racing, and fishing. Today was a lot of fun!
I was walking around town when I saw sheep's cattle and horses that is there natural resources. I also found out that agriculture was Irelands nation lead industry. I ask a guy who was working if there were any famous products he said Guinness was the world famous brad of Irish stout also they produce over 100 different types of whiskey. I was walking around town some more when I saw this portfolio it had questions for tourists, and I was a tourist so I grab it and went to the hotel. I was reading it as I saw a cool question it said "is Ireland part of the European union"? I ask the cleaning lady and she said yes because we trade a lot of stuff with the European union. I was getting really bored so I looked at my money that they gave me in trade for American money and tried to pronounce it e… uros? I finally got it right euro.
Omg! I passed by the president house I was wondering if I could meet him but then this came inside my head if Ireland has a president then they are a democracy. I ask the body guard outside if I could meet the president but he looked at me weird when I said president he told me that in Ireland a president is called a prime minister so instead of president it was prime minster Mary McAleese.
I was looking through an old newspaper when it said history, major events that changed Ireland. It sounded pretty cool so I read the paragraph. Omg! I never knew that Ireland separated from great Britain in 1920 and became an independent country in 1949. wow that must have changed Ireland a lot.
today was the day I left Ireland I had a lot of fun learning smelling tasting seeing hearing and feeling new things I was sad about leaving but I was glad I was going home I was starting to feel home sick, but look at all the cool pictures I took while I was here. Bye!

1. Eliminating Ambiguity
2. Indicating Referents
3. Detecting Conversational Implicature
2 kinds of ambiguities:
Lexical ambiguity:
mostly caused by homonymy and polysemy
Eg: She can't bear childern
Structural ambiguity:
from the grammatical analysis of a sentence or a phrase.
Eg; I like Bill more than Mary.
The following dialogue is written by the well-known linguist, Firth:
-- Do you think he will?
-- I don't know. He might.
-- I suppose he ought to, but perhaps he feels he can't.
-- Well, his brothers have. They perhaps think he needn't.
-- Perhaps eventually he will. I think he should, and I very much hope he will.
Eg1: (The husband has just finished supper and wanted to watch TV, leaving his wife alone to clear the table and wash dishes.)
Wife: Shouldn't you help me do some housework?
Husband: I have worked for nine hours.
Eg2: (The boss of a restaurant gives two pennies to a
temporary worker who does washing for him.)
Boss: Here is your pay, boy!
Worker: I have worked for nine hours.

Anyone who is a fan of Queens of the Stone Age is well aware that frontman Josh Homme could've been a stand-up comedian if his music career didn't pan out. He uses those talents on an upcoming episode of 'Portlandia,' where he portrays a gay man who pretty much shatters every single gay stereotype out there.
Queens of the Stone Age have made their share of dark, druggy and downright depressing video clips over the years.
Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age recently sat down for a fan Q&A with Australia's Fasterlouder.com. Some of the questions he answered (watch above) included the Grammys, the Kyuss lawsuit, the possibility of another Desert Sessions album and his favorite ice cream flavor.
An overeager Queens of the Stone Age fan jumped onstage during the band's performance in St. Petersburg, Fla., Tuesday night. It didn't go well.
In 2013, Queens of the Stone Age have released a staggering amount of material, both sonically and visually. This year will be remembered as one of the band's best and most productive, but QOTSA aren't finished yet. Just revealed from Queens of the Stone Age is a unique, interactive music video for 'The Vampyre of Time and Memory' that feels like a walk through Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.
Interviewing a band can sometimes be an intimidating affair, but in this new clip, two kids handle a live chat with Queens of the Stone Age with ease. The 12-year-old girls sat down with QOTSA's Josh Homme and Dean Fertita before a show in Ohio to pick their collective brains on pretty much everything that is important in a pre-teen world including topics like 'American Idol' and Halloween.
Nick Oliveri, former Queens of the Stone Age / Kyuss musician and current frontman of Mondo Generator, was involved in a serious auto accident late Monday night (June 24). Mondo Generator released the news via their Facebook page late last night (June 26), offering their "well-wishes and hang in there's."
Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age recently made quite a memorable entrance to a party in the Hollywood Hills, in a manner of speaking. The frontman was allegedly run off the road by an out of control Range Rover only to end up smashing into a fence, literally crashing an outdoor party.
Here we are in 2013 and Queens of the Stone Age are finally back with the long-awaited new album '...Like Clockwork.' Was it worth the wait? Read our album review to find out.

Re: How i can automatic insert?
Hello lucifer_191
Here is mahfuz want to help you.I'm giving you a very easy example of trigger for automatic Insert into a table.
Suppose here we want to make a log table on Dept table under scott/tiger.Just follow the step----
1) First create the log table log_dept
create table log_dept
(Deptno number(10) primary key,
Dname varchar2(10),
Loc varchar2(10),
Log_date date
2) Now just create this simple Trigger named tr_dept
create or Replace trigger tr_dept
After Insert
On Dept
For Each Row
v_Deptno dept.deptno%type;
v_Dname dept.Dname%type;
v_Loc dept.Loc%type;
v_Log_date date;
v_Deptno := :new.deptno;
v_Dname := :new.Dname;
v_Loc := :new.Loc;
Insert into log_dept
End tr_dept;
Now when u issue any insert command in dept table just do it
and later just issue - "Select * from log_dept" to show ur Log table.
Hope you will enjoy.For nay kind of help :email@example.com.

The common arguments used to justify biased public subsidies are:
1. the parties and candidates more successful in the previous election should get more subsidies over parties and candidates less successful in the previous election;
2. the parties and candidates with the most public contributions should get the most public funds, and thereby linking level of contributions with public support;
3. the parties and candidates with most popular support should receive public subsidies or receive the most, and thereby justifying levels of public support needed in order to receive public funds;
4. the new and small registered parties are fringe and radical parties, and therefore, they should not be given public funds.
The FDA believes that all registered parties and/or candidates should have equal amounts and access to public funds in order to maximize election competition, or none at all. The FDA assumes that the highest level of election competition will produce the best election results for democratic society. Therefore, the FDA supports an equal playing field within reasonable limits for all registered parties and candidates. To support an unequal distribution of public subsidies favors some parties and candidates over others, and thereby weakens the democratic process. To say that these parties were more successful in the previous election favors unfairly a party based on past performance. To say that some parties are fringe or radical and therefore should not receive public subsidies is biased. It is up to the electors and not anyone else to determine which parties and candidates are worthy of their support. To say that some parties and candidates have more popular support is to argue based on past results, rather than an election yet to occur.
Examples of Public Subsidies:
1. United States:
Presidential candidates which adhere to caps on campaign expenditures are entitled to a public matching of contributions raised. The more contributions raised, the more public funds the presidential candidate can attain up to the maximum expenditure limit. There is no basis of equality in the public subsidy except that public subsidy matching process is available to all registered presidential candidates subject to subsidy qualifications.
Public subsidies of parties are based on the percentage of total votes received in previous election (Federal Election Commission, Public Funding of Presidential Election Brochure, 2012).
Publicly funded Presidential candidates are subject to campaign expenditure limits. Privately funded Presidential candidates are not subject to expenditure limits (Federal Election Commission, Public Funding of Presidential Election Brochure, 2012).
U.S. taxpayers have the option to decide whether or not to direct $3 of their tax to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund on their tax returns (Federal Election Commission, Presidential Election Fund, 2012).
Funds in the Presidential Election Campaign Fund are divided up in three ways:
(1) Primary matching payments are based on the government matching individual contributions to a candidate, and only the first $250 of a contribution is matchable. To be eligible for matching, a candidate needs to raise more than $5,000 in each of 20 different states.
(2) General election grants are for Republican and Democratic candidates who win their parties' nomination. The candidates are eligible to receive $20 million, adjusted for cost-living-adjustment to cover campaign expenses. In 2008, candidates could receive $84.1 million. Third party candidates are eligible to receive a percentage of this grant if the candidates receive at least 5 percent of the popular vote. (The 2008 expenditure limit in 2008 was $88.45 million.)
(3) Party convention grants are for major political parties for their national Presidential nominating convention. The parties are eligible to receive $4 million, adjusted for inflation. In 2008, the major parties received $16.82 million. Third parties are eligible for the grant if they received at least 5 percent of vote in the previous Presidential election. The Federal Election Commission defines a majority party as 25% or more of the total popular votes in the previous election; minority party as between 5% or more and less than 25% of the total popular vote in the previous election; new party as a party which did not participate in the previous election (Federal Election Commission, Presidential Election Fund, 2012).
The 2012 general campaign limit for publicly funded candidates is $91.2 million. The 2012 primary limit for publicly funded candidates is $45.6 million (Federal Election Commission, Presidential Spending Limits for 2012).
Publicly funded candidates have a campaign national expenditure limit of $20,000,000 (subject to cost of living adjustment) and a primary expenditure limit of $10,000,000 and in anyone State shall not exceed either 16 cents times the number of voters in the State or $200,000, whichever is greater (Federal Election Commission, Presidential Election Fund, 2012).
The U.S. presidential candidate public subsidy favors the better fund raiser, and it does not produce electoral finance equality among publicly funded presidential candidates or publicly and privately funded presidential candidates. In addition, the public subsidy is based on popular support in the previous election, and thereby does not reflect popular support in the current election. In addition, the public subsidy influences the opinion of the electorate by favoring some presidential candidates over others.
2. Canada:
From the soon to be published 2013 FDA Global Electoral Fairness Report on Canada, registered political parties are entitled to public subsidies if they receive 2 percent of the popular vote in the current election or 5 percent of the valid votes cast in the electoral district of the candidates they endorsed. In 2015, this public subsidy will be phased out. However, also, registered parties receive a 50 percent reimbursement on their campaign expenditures if they receive 2 percent of the popular vote in the current election or 5 percent of the valid votes cast in the electoral district of the candidates they endorsed.
The Chief Electoral Officer determines for each quarter an allowance payable to a registered party whose candidates received either 2% of the popular vote or 5% of the valid votes cast in the electoral district the candidate ran in for the most recent general election (Canada Elections Act, 435.01(1)(a)-(b)).
The quarterly allowance is the multiplication of the valid votes cast in the most recent general election by $0.3825 for 2012; $0.255 for 2013; and $0.1275 for 2014. All quarters begin on April 1st (Canada Elections Act, 435.01(2)(a)-(c)).
The Conservative government revised the federal budget to phase out the public subsidies for federal political parties beginning April 1st 2012 (Smith, J., July 4, 2012).
The annual subsidy was lowered from $2.04 in 2011 to $1.53 per vote in 2012 and will be further reduced each year on April 1st until it is eliminated in 2015 (Smith, J., July 4 2012).
If a registered party receives 2 percent of the votes cast in the election or 5 percent of the number votes cast in the electoral district in which the part endorsed a candidate, then 50 percent of the parties' electoral expenses are refunded (Elections Canada, Article 435 (1)).
The 2 percent and 5 percent thresholds favor large, established registered political parties over new and small registered political parties. Also, the thresholds support electoral finance inequality between large, established parties because parties with larger expenditures will get larger refunds.
In summary, the FDA takes the position that public subsidies should be equal in amount to all registered parties on grounds of legislative neutrality and electoral competition. The FDA assumes that legislative neutrality and electoral competition are central to attaining the best electoral outcomes for democratic society.
Do you agree or disagree with the FDA position? Tell me why in the comment section, and I will respond with what I know. The purpose of this dialogue is to share ideas and expand one's understanding of important democratic issues.

Zamboanga del Norte (CNN Philippines) — Vice President Jejomar Binay says he's not afraid of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
Not even after his political rival said that it's Binay who should be worried about going to jail because corruption charges are filed against him.
But Binay insists if anyone should be scared, it's Duterte.
"Bilang na ang araw mo (Your days are numbered), Binay said, in reference to the mayor. "The law will catch up with you, soon."
He says Duterte is liable for murder, recalling Duterte earlier admitted to killing about 1,700 people.

As he stood on the most expensive platform ever imported by India, Modi spelt out his vision of the nation as a net exporter of weapons, making it clear that his government would promote self-reliance in arms. He said technology was available and the goal of indigenization of defence platforms should not stop with just meeting the demands of the armed forces.
Landing on the carrier on board a Sea King helicopter from the Hansa naval base in Goa, Modi proceeded to a battle-ready MiG-29K fighter parked on the fight deck. He climbed into the cockpit and interacted with pilots before going to the bridge deck to witness combat demonstrations by warships and aircraft of the western fleet.
Discussing the capability of the carrier and the fleet during the three-hour display, he made his first statement on national security while addressing over 1,600 sailors and officers on board. He said India would engage with all nations as an equal and never be intimidated: Hum kisiko na aankh dikhaayenge, na aankh jhukaayenge, duniya se aankh milaa ke baat karenge.

"The Lead nurse and the Consultant ..."
About: Salford Royal Salford Royal Salford M6 8HD
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
The Lead nurse and the Consultant who took over from the registrar. They were very thorough. The Doctor found the lump quickly, without embarrassing or humiliating me. The booklet that explained the procedure that I need and what to expect.
What could be improved
I have a large ovarian growth suspicious of malignancy. The consultant was in a meeting and the registrar who took his place had not got a clue about my condition. She was very irate, refused to put my M.R.I. report from Christie's hospital in my file. She didnt seem to know what she was doing and argued with me while I was half naked, waiting for her to give me an internal. Unsurprisingly, she could not find the lump that 3 consultants found easy. They whole experience was humiliating, stressful and frightening. I am in severe pain and left to suffer, despite speaking to the lead nurse yesterday. No confirmation of my hospital admission for 28th has been made. I am on the phone to the hospital while I am typing this and twenty minutes on, I am still on hold as the extension is busy.

> Carmelo
Join those "in the know" and kick back for some R&R at the best kept secret in Uruguay.
Carmelo, located in Western Uruguay, was originally founded as a pueblo in the 16th century by the conquering Spanish and gained full status as a city in the early 1800s thanks to national hero José Gervasi Artigas. Today, the charming region retains much of its Colonial roots, though they seamlessly blend with a renowned wine culture, abundant recreational activities and even a large casino.
In Carmelo, travelers will find themselves completely immersed in the laid-back vibe of the region, awe-inspiring natural splendor of the Colonia countryside, as well as spectacular architecture in the city center, including cobblestone streets and well-kept homes. One of our favorite accommodations in the Carmelo region is the Narbona Wine Lodge, informally known as Finca Narbona, a working farm, vineyard and cozy boutique hotel. A newcomer to the area is the Carmelo Resort & Spa, which is a Hyatt Hotel boasting 20 free-standing bungalows along the Rio Plata.
Whether your vacation style lends itself to history buff, beach bum, culture vulture or adventure seeker, there's a little something for everyone in Carmelo. City tours of iconic landmarks such as the swing bridge, Plaza Artigas, Templo Historico del Carmen and Plaza Independence will astound you with history and architecture. Tours of the numerous vineyards and wineries, including Narbona Wine Lodge and others, will whet your whistle. Take in the natural side of Carmelo on foot or horseback or by bicycle or river boat. Or, spend the day at the beach soaking up the sun.
Carmelo is easily reached by land via Montevideo. Although a nearly three hour drive, travelers will pass through ancient Colonia del Sacramento, which is worth a stopover. We recommend at least two nights in Carmelo to explore the riverside city and surrounding nature.
Carmelo tours can be customized for your personal interests. Have questions about this destination, tours here or hotels? Speak with our Uruguay destination specialists at (800) 772-9188.

There's one at every work place. You know…"that guy" who idolizes Noam Chomsky and babbles about how Christianity is evil? Well, now there's a name for this condition. Just lean over and ask him/her, "Are you "Christianophic?"
I find it interesting that those who claim to be the most open-minded are usually the most close-minded about various belief systems. If you say that you're a Christian nowadays then you're automatically labeled as being both a "bigot" and a "hatemonger." The current treatment of Christians seems oddly reminiscent of another historical event.
"Eventually, Diocletian gave way to Galerius, issuing on February 23, 303 an edict decreeing the removal of all Christians from public office, closing the courts to them, prohibiting the freeing of Christian slaves, and ordering the destruction of all Christian churches and books. That same day, the church in Nicomedia was promptly burnt to the ground."

This just came in from friend of the sasquatch, Tom Yamarone:
First Monthly Meeting of Bay Area Bigfoot Research Organization
Location: Round Table Pizza, 61 43rd Avenue, San Mateo, CA
(may actually be Belmont, CA)
Date/Time: Sunday, February 12, 2012 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
If you are interested in bigfoot, please join us as we discuss the bigfoot/sasquatch topic
with other enthusiasts. We'll introduce ourselves, present an overview of the best
evidence and, if time allows, watch a short documentary. Dinner and drinks will be
available at the restaurant. We'll have the private banquet room for our meeting.
Who are we? Bay Area Bigfoot Research was started by 3 individuals who have been
involved in bigfoot research for many years. There was a research group in the San
Francisco Bay Area in the 1970s and we wanted to create another Bay Area group that
would bring together like-minded people to learn more about this subject, discuss current
bigfoot research topics, solicit eyewitness accounts and organize group outings to the
Sierras and other areas in Northern California.
Agenda: Welcome and Introductions (Joyce Kearney, Jerry Hein & Tom Yamarone)
Discussion of our reasons for meeting each month. Also what we hope to accomplish with
these meetings. (for example, discuss recent "hot topics" in bigfoot research, solicit and discuss
bigfoot sighting reports, etc.)
Short Presentation: "A Review of the Most Compelling Evidence for the Existence of Bigfoot/
Sasquatch" (Tom Yamarone)
Tom will bring 3 or 4 bigfoot footprint casts, several books he would recommend as references
for research, photographs of some Native American stone heads, totems and masks and print outs
of archival newspaper articles. Joyce will bring a Native American mask that she has to share
with the group.
Afterwards, we'll have a discussion of bigfoot evidence.
Viewing of bigfoot documentary (will have several to choose from… 30 – 45 mins)
Discussion of ideas for future meetings.
Cliff Barackman, and Terry Smith
No Responses to "Bay Area Bigfoot Meeting"
I'm there in spirit. Awesome!

Amazon Kindle Wi-Fi vs Sony Reader Wi-Fi (PRS-T1) e-reader head-to-head review
Sony revamps its reader to take on the Kindle
Sony has been losing the e-book reader battle to Amazon's Kindle, which has been a runaway success despite arguably being an inferior product.
In an attempt to challenge the Kindle, Sony has tweaked the design to introduce Wi-Fi functionality and, perhaps more crucially, has lowered the price. V3 took a look at the Sony Reader Wi-Fi (PRS-T1) and put it head-to-head against the Kindle to see whether it can attract consumers away from the market leader.
Design - Sony lays down the gaunlet with revamp
The build quality of the Sony Reader Wi-Fi (PRS-T1) feels premium compared to the plastic coating on the Kindle. Both devices are pleasing on the eye, but the lovely gloss finish on the Sony outdoes the drab grey of the Kindle.
Size-wise there is little to separate the two as both come with a 6in screen. They are comfortable to hold and, although the Sony is slightly smaller at 173x110x8.9mm, it is not as thin as the Kindle at 190x123x8.5mm.
Sony claims that the Reader Wi-Fi is the lightest 6in device on the market. At 168g, we're in smartphone territory and the Reader is an impressive 73g lighter than the current Kindle at 241g. The Sony Reader is also more likely to fit into a jacket pocket owing to its squarer design and compactness.
Winner - Sony Reader Wi-Fi
Display and input - touchscreen > buttons
Both devices use an E-Ink display with a resolution of 600x800 pixels, so they are evenly matched when it comes to reading.
However, the Sony incorporates a touch screen, something that Amazon has yet to build into the Kindle. This makes navigating menus extremely intuitive as you can click on icons, scroll using a finger and change the page with a quick swipe.
Sony also ships the Reader Wi-Fi with a stylus to make annotations on pages or highlight passages for reference. In contrast, the Kindle is equipped with a small physical Qwerty keyboard and navigating pages and menus means using the buttons on the bezel.
It is possible to annotate on the Kindle and look up words, but using the keyboard and arrow keys can be slow and fiddly at times. The device could definitely do with touch-screen input, which has been left out as a cost-cutting measure no doubt.
Winner - Sony Reader Wi-Fi

According to a study published in the April 1 issue of the journal Sleep, older adults living in a retirement community who followed a consistent daily routine experienced an easier time falling asleep, better sleep quality and less insomnia. The researchers found that it was more important to maintain a regular pattern of self-care activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing and eating than instrumental activities such as shopping, public transportation use and medical appointments, although consistency in timing, frequency and duration of daily activities extended to activities such as watching TV or reading a book. Lead author Anna Zisberg, RN, MA, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Haifa in Mt. Carmel, Israel, said that the findings highlight the importance of developing lifestyle regularity as a means for maintaining good sleep quality. "We predicted that there would be a relationship between routine activity patterns and sleep quality, since theoretically sleep patterns and other everyday life activities are related and potentially synchronized," said Zisberg. "However, given the widely accepted view that light is the major synchronizer of the human sleep-wake cycle, we were surprised that our findings were so robust." The study, conducted in the northern part of Israel, involved 96 Russian-speaking older adults in two retirement communities where each apartment was fully equipped as an independent functional unit including a kitchenette. Participants had a mean age of about 75 years, with a range from 58 to 89 years; 72 percent were female, 82 percent lived alone and 75 percent reported fair or good health. Sleep medication was used less than once a week by 5 percent of the sample, from once to twice a week by 7 percent of participants and three times or more per week by 23 percent of the sample. The authors noted that changes in the circadian system are considered a natural part of aging and are implicated as an underlying factor of reduced sleep quality in the elderly. Routine lifestyle rhythms may serve as a protective factor contributing to the maintenance of high-quality sleep. However, more research is needed to examine the maintenance of daily routines in broader populations with varying cultural backgrounds and living arrangements. Future longitudinal studies may assess whether lifestyle regularity constitutes a cause or a consequence of quality sleep patterns.

When you have mastered calm flat water, you should challenge yourself in windy / choppy conditions on the intracoastal and when you finally feel confident enough to take it to the beach and try to catch waves, give it another month on flat / windy & choppy intracoastal water... then you'll be ready... maybe.
Learning curve is different for everybody. If you aren't a surfer, than you really should double the amount of time suggested above. If you are a proficient surfer to begin with, then you might be able to move to the surf faster, but I'd listen to my above advice to be absolutely sure, and so you don't embarrass yourself out there. Watching someone fall off over and over again is amusing but if you are anywhere near a wave you are just being a danger to yourself and anybody else within your board / leash radius.

What I would do is I would figure out which direction the wind is blowing and I would paddle as hard and fast as I could against the wind 1st and go as far as I could until I completely gassed out and needed a break. Once you get to that point then you can take a breather, sit down / rest your legs, or casually stroll about and take a look at some of the wild life around you, then once you catch your breath and get your legs under you, then you turn around and use the wind at your back to get as much speed going as possible and see how fast you can make it back to your starting point.
Be sure to push your limits as far as you can going out 1st because when the wind is at your back you don't need a lot of energy to make it back. BUT, whatever you do, do NOT do this the other way around or you'll be stranded waiting for someone to come scoop you because you won't be able to make it back. HAHAHA
Use the choppiness and boat wakes to get use to the turbulence of the surf. Try getting in a boat wake and ride it for a minute if it's big enough. If you can't do it without falling, you aint ready. If you look like you're in an earthquake trying to handle the choppiness or boat wake, then keep at it until you are steady as she goes...

Yeah, my wife's cousin and her husband own a massage and yoga studio here. They always invite us to go there. I never do, but the wife does.
Anyway, they both bought SUPs a couple months ago. Now they are planning a weekly, SUP Yoga class. Where they paddle out and do Yoga on SUPs. As they are telling me this, I am just thinking, Okay, so even if you aren't going to take them out in the ocean, you are going to take a bunch of "mommie" out into the intracoastal waterways (we have like 8-9 foot tide swings), where the tides and currents are ridiculous, its covered in oyster beds and all kinds of obsticles, not to mention shark invested.... Hrmmmm.... Nope, nothing can go wrong when that middle aged, woman who can barely swim falls of the side of her SUP in the water, hits an oyster bed or whatever....
Never heard of this kind of thing, but sounds like just a complete novelty. Like, can't you do yoga on the beach, and then follow it with a SUP session? Is it really necessary to go out, into deep water and do this stuff?
I just hope they have good insurance.
Saw a 70 old guy almost die in a Kayak last winter. They brought him up on the boat landing, loaded him in the back... I went out and asked the paramedics what happened, they said that old boy just rolled his Kayak over. He wasn't a strong swimmer and the 60 degree water had him very cold.... Dude looked like he was about to straight die... And all that happened was he fell in.

Had a 9'3" sub-vector for about 3 years and would only take it out on the smallest of days. But definitely a fun alternate way to surf...took it out on a couple of head high days just for fun and could force it around with the paddle but what was the point when I could just surf. The newer naish HP sups look to be the call for pure performance, but I'll be honest...I don't even think they'd be worth it for our type of waves. When its breaking top to bottom and attempting to sneak into a wave just wont happen...a reef or point is a different story but a beachie...no thanks. Definitely a small wave activity....loads of fun when not around crowds! However, I always loved a long paddle...definitely a work out. If you can find a cheapie you should jump on it...definitely more difficult to surf than an LB.

You can't find ANYTHING but a soft top for less than $500 or $600.... seems insane to me. I guess as long as people keep buying them, the market will hold. But that is WAAAAAAYYYYY too much for a used board of most kinds.
I mean, why are there no SUP beaters? I could see dropping 3 or so for one just to have and mess around with. Paddle around the bay, but I ain't dropping $1200 on one. That is money better spent on a surf trip.

From acclaimed romance author Ellyn Oaksmith comes a novel of change, challenges, and ultimately kindness....
Being overly kind isn't in Kylie Harrow's nature. This has never been more evident than when Kylie vents her frustrations to an innocent employee - and the whole scene is posted online, tanking her career and earning her the dubious distinction of "world's worst boss". But when she flees home to the South, Kylie finds her childhood home has changed. The high school quarterback is now the hot and handsome sheriff. Her mother has turned her home into a nudist colony. And, worst of all, having heard about her daughter's exploits, her mother won't let her in the door until Kylie completes 50 kind acts in 50 days.
The task seems easy enough at first - and may even help repair her media image - but it quickly turns into a hilarious quest that leads Kylie down a bumpy road filled with new challenges. What started as a gimmick to save her career evolves into a mission to save a spunky old woman and her little dog from homelessness. As Kylie learns about the nature of kindness, she finds the path to happiness and, for the first time ever, maybe even love.

This book is very funny, it follows Kylie as she is called into see her boss. Kylie thought it's for a raise or promotion, but is somewhat different. The antics that follow are funny and poignant as she faces her past and tries to make sense of her future. I enjoyed this audiobook.

We have had Some great weather over the last couple of weeks here in surrey but the flip Side to this is the weeds have gone crazy. After a couple of hours of getting jolted by baby singing nettles everything looking much tidier.
The baby leeks I planted in late winter are coming on strong.
The artichoke plants I moved from my old allotment have picked Up some nutrients and are looking healthy.
The elephant garlic, Czech red and Provence white which I planted back in November time is looking in fantastic condition.
These are the black jewel raspberries I got bought last year. These guys needed tying up as they are so long. My red and yellow Dutch raspberries have really gone mad this year hopefully meaning loads of raspberries.
I know onions are generally cheap, I planted about 30 in December so ther they should be ready in summer.
This is the second year of my asparagus trial, last year I let them fern up and now they are starting to gain some girth this year.
Finally we have a few strawberries and the blueberry bushes which have really blossomed, should be a bumper harvest this season.
