Course objectives:
- Discuss how to nourish the seeds of change and transformation by working with inner experiences as the key to making outward change through willingness, self-awareness, and surrender.
- Explain how to transform self-criticism into self-compassion
- Discuss the value of vows, "encoding prospective memories," making values-driven commitments and how to overcome the "trigger-to-instinct" in the process of transformation and change.
- Practice guided reflections based on breakthrough science, practical sensability, and wisdom traditions, including exercises and mindfulness meditations that for making positive change that lasts.
What's your most important goal? Why does it matter so deeply? How will you overcome the obstacles? Answer these questions with sincerity, proceed with mindfulness and compassion, and you have just set in motion a revolutionary method for personal change that is supported by both the latest science and traditional wisdom. On The Neuroscience of Change, psychologist and award-winning Stanford lecturer Kelly McGonigal presents six sessions of breakthrough ideas, guided practices, and real-world exercises for making self-awareness and kindness the basis for meaningful transformation.
Practical Methods to Retrain Your Brain to Support Your Goals
Our understanding of the incredible power of the human brain is at an all-time high, with the emerging fields of neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and psychophysiology opening new possibilities for greater health, happiness, and freedom from suffering. Drawing on her training as a research scientist and longtime practitioner of meditation and yoga, Dr. McGonigal reveals these startling findings—including the clinically supported methods for training the mind away from default states and negativity that no longer serve us and establishing behaviors and attitudes aligned with our highest values and aspirations.
The First Rule of Change: It's Already Happening
As the world's wisdom traditions teach and science is now verifying, our lives are in fact defined by constant change. Whether you're looking to change a behavior, improve your health or other circumstances, or simply for a way to bring hope and resilience into your life as it is, The Neuroscience of Change will help you trust yourself and unfold your true capacities for personal transformation.

- Good Content, presentation needs work Review by HopelessCase
This is sold as an online course (or audio course, if you will). What it is is basically an audio book. Don't get me wrong, the content as such, both the background and the guided meditation is well done and Ms. McGonigal does a good job narrating the material.
What I lack is structure. Not even the chapters are named, they are merely numbered. There is no overview of what topics are covered in what part, no downloadable worksheets or summaries, which is what I would have expected. If those things were provided, this course would be wonderful. At the moment, it is just another audio book. Which is also fine, but then it would need to be made clearer in the description.

- Not What I Thought It Was, Dissapointing Review by Rebecca
I purchased this program because I believed it would be a blending on science and how the mind deals with, makes, and perceives change, and mindfulness. It was more of an introduction to mindfulness. A very basic introduction. With many basic meditations. I was very unhappy about the high price for little information. I suggest this only for those who have never practiced mindfulness before.

- Loving the Science Review by Donnell
Kelly Mcgonigal quickly became a favorite teacher, as soon as I discovered her at soundstrue.com. This series is excellent, with a seamless blending of the latest in neuroscience and the best of the wisdom traditions. I am recommending it to everyone I know. Definitely a five star purchase!

This is by far the best course you can buy. Kelly McGonigal beautifully combines the eastern teachings with learnings from western science and delivers something that has immense value. I find myself listening to it over and over again and practicing the techniques. Don't think twice, just get this program :)

Kelly McGonigal's work is wonderful.
Can't say the same for Sounds True anymore.
I do think I've been a reasonable customer over the last twenty or so years, but I've spammed the 'news' e's and really have no further interest after a bit of technical difficulty with NO responses from 'support'.

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Steve B
This is an excellent program. Thank you for making available. It underscores the key role that mindfulness can play in our lives. Kelly does a good job of keeping it interesting and meaningful: not something easily done on an on-line course. I also cannot say enough kind words about Sounds True. You are my connection, my source for meaningful learning material in the world of mindfulness meets neuroscience. Thank you and Thanks Kelly

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by gilad s
In this course, Kelly McGonigal, explains very
clearly the brain mechanisms of suffering, and negative habits.
She goes through some important highlights which I found helpful, to change and address negative habits and internal experience.
It helped me listening, also to some of her talks in youtube to get some, before I took this course.
The approach here is different then the stiff and rigid approach I am used to use for change, and I find very helpful for dealing with my own issues.

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Lia A
This audio book is great. The combination of research, reflection, and concrete meditative exercises is very effective. But the audiobook needs a more detailed textual accompaniment than the short outline it comes with. The listener has no way to get back to any particular material or instructions.
I highly recommend this product.

Using your work to support my action research involving math education reform. Action research question: Students FEEL bad at math if and only if they are provided with bad mathematics learning environments and experiences. Is the converse true? If students are provided with positive mathematics learning experiences to FEEL successful in mathematics, will they perform successfully in mathematics? Do feelings matter in mathematics? Should mathematics be fun?

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Richard K
The sessions were very insightful and helpful to me. I've swung between depression and anxiety, and Kelly's observations about each state helped me see how they are playing me against myself. I've made definite progress in isolating my default state and moving into a more present state with compassion for myself.

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Heather D
I found this lecture series excellent and full of useful information and practical techniques. I found the grounding of Ms. McGonigal experiences and recommendations in solid scientific replicated and credible facts very helpful. Not at all a, as my children would call it, a woo woo hippie trippie book, but extremely valuable reasoning for anyone interested in mindfulness and it's affects on the human body and spirit.

This is a great introduction to meditation, mindfulness and compassion. However, the exercises are quite basic and the neuroscience isn't as detailed as I would have liked.

Kelly is a great teacher, perfect combination of scientific mind and compassionate heart. It's very likely you will "click" with her and remember to actually apply what you learned in your everyday life.

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Anthony Billings
This program explains some new findings in neuroscience about how to change and how the brain can prevent change. She discusses which parts of the brain create habit and how the brain keeps us locked in those habits. Kelly has a nice clear voice. The default resting state of the brain is NOT where you want to be!

- Review for The Neuroscience of Change Review by Carolyn Ruthenberg
Fascinating program. I've studied the teachings of Buddhism for years and have found in my life following the teachings lead to positive change. They are mostly common sense. This program adds explanation and clarity to why. The experiments make it real, instead of just theory.
Using the information in this program in combination with a mindfulness awareness practice (recommend any of the writings by Thich Nhat Hanh) can change your life.

When someone brings up social gaming, a few things may pop into your head: Angry Birds, Mafia Wars, Farmville…
What if social gaming wasn't all about beating levels, planting crops or killing bosses? What if the players were real and their actions drove your success or failure? If that were ever the case, the social game you come up with might be called Empire Avenue.
Empire Avenue is a social game where you can buy stock in real people whose values rise and fall depending on their interaction. Think Klout meets SimCity.
While the idea of buying ownership in people originally gave me pause, I noticed that a TON of people were absolutely raving about Empire Avenue, so I decided to dig in and set up an account for myself.

3% of all Americans will suffer from a kidney stone at some time in their life, and half of these people will suffer recurrences over the following ten or more years. It is thus a disease which touches a significant portion of the population.
Normal urine contains predictable amounts of calcium, magnesium, uric acid, and other by-products of metabolism. Normally these substances are in solution and pass into the bladder. Under certain conditions of high saturation, and in a complex chemical environment that is not yet completely understood, the chemicals may crystallize and form a stone-like particle in the kidney. Once formed it stimulates continued crystallization. If the stone remains in the kidney, no symptoms may occur, although there may be microscopic signs of blood in the urine. Once a piece of the stone breaks off and enters the ureter leading to the bladder, prompt spasms occur.
Urine of most normal people is supersaturated with respect to calcium oxalate, so all people can potentially form such stones. Normal urine is not supersaturated with respect to uric acid, cystine or struvite. Conditions that raise calcium oxalate supersaturation raise the risk of calcium oxalate stones. Hypercalciuria and hyperoxaluria are two main clinical examples, and both can result from many diseases. Hyperparathyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, sarcoidosis, vitamin D intoxication, and "idiopathic" hypercalciuria all are causes of hypercalciuria. Hyperoxaluria may be due to overproduction, from hereditary disorders of metabolism, or be acquired from intestinal disease or diet.
Apart from overexcretion, supersaturation can be increased by abnormal interactions between urine ions. Urine citrate forms a soluble salt with calcium that normally reduces free calcium ion levels appreciably; low urine citrate from bowel disease, renal tubular acidosis, and, perhaps, dietary and hereditary causes can raise calcium oxalate supersaturation and promote stones. Normal women excrete more citrate and less calcium than normal men, perhaps a reason why men form stones more often. Low urine pH from hereditary causes or bowel disease promotes uric acid stones; high pH, from alkali, drugs, or renal tubular acidosis increases calcium phosphate supersaturation.
An infection of the urinary tract can cause cellular debris to act as a focus or "seed"on which crystals can form. Bacterial action makes the urine more alkaline, resulting in the deposit of phosphates, which form calcium phosphate stones. Excessive uric acid, increased excretion of calcium by the kidney, combined with an increased insolubility of calcium in the urine, can also cause stones to form. Long-term confinement to bed or even a chronic lack of exercise may encourage mobilization of calcium from bones into the blood, increasing calcium levels in the urine. Similarly, steroids can increase blood and urine calcium levels. An inherited disposition and excess weight can also predispose you to kidney stones.

text: Code:INSTALLATION: You must have Landstoconquer Gold installed first, and to ensure compatibility with this addon, the LTC installation must be fresh and not touched in any way. 1. Make a copy of your landstoconquer folder (in the main M2TW folder) and place the copy in your Medieval II Total War\mods folder. 2. Rename this copy to "landstoconquer_garnier_addon" 3. Run garnier_addon_2.exe, and point the installer to your main M2TW folder. 4. To run the mod, use the icon created on your desktop, or the Launch_LTC_Garnier_Addon.bat in your main M2TW folder. CHANGE LIST: A lot of things have changed, to suit my preferences and to improve things. In no particular order; 1. Instead of the three era campaigns, I've added the vanilla campaign setup back in. I found the era campaigns unbalanced, some factions like France almost always got wiped out in the first 10 turns or so, and starting in the late period didn't work as well as I'd hoped. However, there is still some era differentiation in this mod. The early era begins in 1140 AD. When the Early Period comes, Stone Walls and Fortresses are available, with the buildings associated with them. This is the era of the Feudal Knight. Then in 1280, the High Period arrives, and Large Stone Walls and Citadels are available, bringing with them the Chivalric Knight and so on. However, all the units with the fancy rennaissance style clothes are still not available. In 1380, the Late Period arrives, and the Huge City becomes available, along with military academies in your cities and castles. These academies allow recruitment of the Late Period troops, such as Tercio Pikemen, Reiters, Aventurieurs, and Forlorn Hope, as well as others. 2. Many units from the Kingdoms expansion are added in, mainly through a port of Candelarius' Grand Unit Addon. Not all of them are fully functional in the campaign yet, but all are available for custom battles. In future versions I will have most of them in the campaign. 3. New guild/recruitment changes. In the holy land, special crusader units will be available, in Jerusalem, Acre, Antioch and Edessa. Also in Acre and Cyprus there are templar chapter houses, and in Antioch and Rhodes there are hospitaller chapter houses. The default order units are removed, and replaced by multiple units for each order. For example, and a templar house, you can recruit templar knights, templar sergeants, templar crossbowmen and templar gunners. The Hospitaller, Teutonic and Santiago Chapter Houses are all similarly changed. 4. Explorer guilds allow recruitment of Conquistadores for Spain and Portugal, and New World Cuirassiers for France and England. These units are only available after the World is Round event. 5. Flaming missiles removed. 6. Torches and building smoke removed. (for performance and that the torches were ugly) 7. Faction Standing adjusted so people don't hate you for no reason on harder difficulties. 8. No winter script. All turns are summer, but characters still age properly. 9. No rebels/brigands/pirates. They were just annoying and didn't really improve gameplay at all. Randomly having your armies rebel wasn't any fun, and it really hurt the AI. 10. Remove Campaignmap farmland graphics, and landbridge graphics. 11. Siege weapons move the same speed as infantry on the campaign map. 12. HorseArcher's Dust Mod included. 13. My Kingdoms Skymod included, so the game uses both vanilla and kingdoms skies. 14. Siege buildings unavailable at castles. 15. Campaign changed back to timescale of 2 for now, as thats ideal for how long I like to play one campaign. I may change this to 1.5 at some point, and its easy for anyone else to do if they want. 16. The AI gets a bonus of +3 experience and +9 morale to all units they recruit. 17. There are other changes but nothing drastic. FUTURE VERSIONS This will not be the last version of the addon, this is really a work in progress. I am releasing 2.0 for other people to give feedback and suggestions for things to improve. CREDITS: Thanks to Lusted for LTC Gold, which this mod is based on. Thanks to Candelarius for his Grand Unit Addon. Thanks to Horsearcher for his dust mod. Thanks to Alpaca and GrnEydDvl for help with scripting and such stuff.

Forgetting where you are after meditation.
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 4:10 pm
So, I just finished meditating. I didn't set an alarm or anything today and just wanted to have a good experience. I did. But peculiarly when I was finished I experienced something I haven't experienced before. It was like everything is foreign to me. Almost like I completely forgot where I had sat down to meditate. Even right now things seem "off" but I know where I am. I had been doing insight meditation for about 3 months and switched to samatha about 3 months ago. Comments are welcome, but I wanted to offer my experience to those who may have the same experiences and wondered if they were the only ones.

Bishop: Building Economic Diplomacy
Strengthening Australia's economy and leveraging economic policies to strengthen diplomatic standing
MELBOURNE, 23 MAY 2013 — The Hon. Julie Bishop MP, Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister, addressed Asia Society Australia boardroom lunch hosted by BHP Billiton and discussed key aspects in relation to Australia's foreign and trade policies.
The focus of Ms Bishop's presentation was on the importance of implementing a foreign policy to strengthen our economy and leveraging our economic policies to strengthen our diplomatic standing.
Enhancing Australia's open, export-orientated economy through "economic diplomacy" was a key theme throughout the discussion. The Asia Pacific and Indian Ocean are of critical strategic importance to Australia. Ms Bishop commented, "Australia's standing in the world is at its highest when our influence in our region is at its strongest."
"The Coalition will focus our foreign policy assets, whether it be military and defence capability, economic and trade capacity, diplomatic and foreign aid activities on our region, not exclusively but unmistakably."
Ms Bishop referred to the priority a Coalition Government would give to finalising the current FTA negotiations with a range of countries in the region including China, South Korea, Indonesia and Japan. Papua New Guinea was also cited as a missed the opportunity to transition Australia's relationship with PNG from an aid donor to an economic partner.
Ms Bishop also expressed an interest in seeing all agencies relating to foreign policy and those with an in-bound focus, being aligned to promote Australia's economic prosperity and national security. The resourcing of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is at a record low and it is the view of the Coalition that DFAT needs to be restored as the major implementer of Australia's foreign policy.
Initiatives such as the Coalition's New Colombo Plan for Australian students to undertake studies in our region were also discussed as key plans that will enhance Australia's engagement in the region.

In the early 2000s, TRL was a weekday staple.
You'd come home from school, make a snack, and turn on the show so you could watch Carson Daly interview your favorite celebrities and play the top music videos of that day. Eventually, MTV started focusing less on music and more on guilty pleasure reality shows, and TRL fell by the wayside in 2008.
But it seems the network has recognized the power of the show, announcing that soon it will bring a version of TRL back. The show will be called MTV Live and will take place in the same, now-iconic studio where TRL once lived. Full details about what to expect haven't been announced yet, but MTV's president has said the new iteration of the show will incorporate both music and other elements, much like how TRL used to. Look for the dose of nostalgia to debut in mid-June.
Please tell me they are going to bring back Carson Daly.

British Open
Mickelson savors journey from agony to ecstasy with British Open winBY ED OSMOND
July 21. 2013 5:33PM
GULLANE, Scotland, July 21 (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson reflected on the emotional roller-coaster of the last few weeks after timing his run to perfection to scatter the field and win his first British Open on Sunday.
Under the radar most of the week, the 43-year-old American shot a brilliant 66 at Muirfield to secure an emotional victory just over a month after finishing runner-up at the U.S. Open for the sixth time.
"It's a huge difference in emotions as you can imagine," he told a news conference.
"Being so down after the U.S. Open, to come back and use it as motivation, to use it as a springboard, it really feels amazing. It's a day that I'll always cherish, always remember."
Mickelson has learned the importance of being resilient as a golfer - a useful attribute around a concrete-hard links course like Muirfield this week.
"After losing the U.S. Open, it could have easily gone south, where I was so deflated I had a hard time coming back," he said.
"But I looked at it and thought I was playing really good golf. I had been playing some of the best in my career. I worked a little bit harder and in a matter of a month I'm able to change entirely the way I feel."
The big left-hander did not make a concerted effort to spark himself into life.
"The wow factor just kind of happened," Mickelson, who warmed up by winning the Scottish Open last week, told a news conference. "It wasn't like I was setting out thinking, I need to make birdies or I was trying to force birdies. I was just trying to hit good shots. And I made a bunch of putts today."
Mickelson, who started the day on two over, birdied the fifth, ninth, 13th, 14th, 17th and 18th holes and had just one bogey on his card at the 10th.
He holed a 10-footer on the final green to make virtually certain of victory even though several players were still out on the course and he raised his arms in the air before hugging his long-serving caddie Jim 'Bones' Mackay.
"We did a good job together," Mickelson said. "Bones was exceptional. This is a really special time and as fulfilling a career accomplishment as I could ever imagine."
Mickelson British Open triumph came at the 20th attempt having earlier in his career struggled on links courses.
"It's been the last eight or nine years I've started playing it (links golf) more effectively," he said.
"I've started to hit the shots more effectively. But even then it's so different than what I grew up playing. I always wondered if I would develop the skills needed to win this championship."
He will now try to complete his set of majors by finally ending his U.S. Open jinx.
"I think that if I'm able to win the U.S. Open and complete the career grand slam, I think that that's the sign of the complete great player," he said.
"I think there's five players that have done that (won all four). And those five players are the greats of the game. You look at them in a different light. I'm very hopeful that I will the U.S. Open." (Editing by Martyn Herman)

Coming out of the closet
Coming out of the closet
So I'm on a tight budget, been so for awhile, and would like to expand my cooking inventory so that I'm not sighing in frustration at having simple spaghetti for supper every three days.
I was hoping some of you would be willing to pass me some recipes that could help me stay in budget while still getting a decent amount of nutrition. I'm not yet part of the Ramen Noodle group, but I'm getting close; college isn't yet upon me. It's sort of turned desperate.
Peace love & OMGIHATESPAGHETTINOW!!!WHY?!?

RE: Coming out of the closet
Can't you use normal spaghetti and make different sauces? Put some vegetables (I sually choose peppers and/or zucchini) in them and all of a sudden they become so much more healthy.
You can also make pasta salads.
I could (and often do) live off this stuff.

RE: Coming out of the closet
There are lots of ways of dressing up pasta. Do you make your own sauce or pull out a jar? Adding in season fresh veggies is a way to add flavor. If you're basically cooking just for yourself, you can dice up a whole onion use what you need and freeze the rest. Same with peppers. Pull them out as needed.
Start with a bit of onion, toward the end add garlic (don't let it burn) if you want you can a drizzle of a dry sherry or wine, if not skip it, add the zucchini or veg of choice, pasta water (just a little bit) add your sauce or canned tomato. Always add the cooked pasta to the sauce and cook a little longer (never the other way around).
Rice is also good and inexpensive.

Oh you can also take left over pasta (mixed with sauce) add some eggs and cook that in a pan for a spaghetti frittata.

RE: Coming out of the closet
Ah, and another thing. There are all sorts of pasta that you can use (and fool yourself into thinking you're eating different things). And each is best cooked in its own way (the Italians have all sorts of rules, pretty interesting, actually).
For example, my favourite pasta for salads are fusili, esp. the tricolor ones. And you can make all sorts of dressings for your salads (preferably sans mayonnaise - that shit is poison).
(Also, you do not eat spaghetti with the help of a spoon. Just sayin')

Okay, so it looks like the pasta is covered well. Sadly it's what I love, but am now hating. I'll try out these ideas, thanks a bunch.
I have been trying to work with stirfrys, though I need to get a wok. The last one I had crapped out and got all rusty from being unused. I like that I can put a lot of veggies, but the sauce department I have no idea how to do. I have tried powdered curry, and butter chicken sauce. That's my limit. Any ideas?
Making chicken fried rice is pretty okay, too. I'm not a killer-good, but I still prefer it over what my mom made. How far can I push that one?

At least I don't use too many things. Soy sauce and some balsamic vinegar are sometimes enough. Maybe some spices you like? We use red pepper flakes (and not just the hot variety) a lot and I love it. Smells great. I also quite enjoy cumin. My advice is - improvise, until you stumble upon something you like
You can make stuff with eggs, too, I guess, but I hate eggs, so can't help you much. But you can add vegetables to scrambled eggs and make them better (as much as possible. Like I said - can't stand eggs).
(Mustard makes for great dressings, btw.)
Oh, and soups! You can make them with just about anything.

RE: Coming out of the closet
I am the fucking Gordon Ramsey of shopping on a budget
Heres a few pointers.
1: Buy frozen Veg. Its can last longer and in some cases can be cheaper. I would allways recommend buying fresh however I presume your poverty is only temporary and wont be forever so there is no harm in frozen for the short term.
2: Tinned Corned Beef. If ever I had to prepare for an apocalypse or something else the only meat I would buy would be Corned Beef. Some people see it as unhealthy and on the long run I would agree, however it is a very cheap source of meat.
3: Shop late. Some shops reduce items at a certain time to avoid wastage so I would say to enquire at shops that do this and find out the approximate time they reduce items.
4: Shoplift
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

RE: Coming out of the closet
Some random thoughts:
1. You need protein, which is generally the most expensive food component. As Vera said, consider eggs (sorry, Vera--I love 'em ). I don't know what it's like in Canada, but here in Los Angeles, if price is the most important factor you can get 'em CHEAP. Not long ago I saw them for 99 cents a dozen. They're full of protein, and you can scramble 'em, fry 'em, poach 'em, boil 'em, make a soufflé . . . . If too much dietary cholesterol is an issue for you, though, toss some of the yolks.
2. Chicken is also cheap. I recently saw 8 meaty drumsticks on sale for a little over $3. Put 'em in a shallow pan, brush on a little oil, sprinkle on some spices, and roast 'em up. Or put 'em in a pot with carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and S&P, add plenty of water, and make a great soup.
3. Also consider sardines, the kind in the flat oval tins in tomato sauce. Full of protein and also beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, and much cheaper than tuna or salmon.
4. Buy a bag of flour, some baking powder, some cooking oil, and some milk, and make your own biscuits! It's cheap, fun, and a lot easier than you may think. You can find lots of recipes online. From start to finish, including the baking time, isn't more than 30-40 minutes.
5. Avoid buying prepared foods. Unless you want to pay for the convenience, you can do a lot better making things yourself.
6. As Bemore said, frozen veggies are fine. But also see what's on sale fresh in your local market. And if you live in a major urban area, try out different markets. Prices can vary greatly from one store to the next.
7. Dry cereals are absurdly expensive. (At least they are here.) Instead, consider oatmeal--the pure, unsweetened kind without additives. Better for your health and probably a lot cheaper. Rolled oats cook up pretty quickly.
8. Include some fruit in your diet every day. See what's on sale.
Bon appétit!

What cufflink said. Also, eggs. They are cheap, 3 of them are enough, highly nutritious... You can prepare them in a 100 different ways. Then there is mashed potato, but it is more of a side dish than actual meal.
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Press freedom groups are demanding that Mexico investigate the shooting death of a freelance journalist just after he reportedly witnessed a confrontation at a highway checkpoint.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says reporter Adrian Silva was found dead in his car Wednesday.
Silva had been covering a story on gasoline thefts from Mexico's state-owned oil company. He worked for several publications in the central state of Puebla.
The committee said Thursday that Silva was returning from covering an army investigation into the thefts when he told a fellow journalist he had just witnessed a confrontation between gunmen and soldiers at a highway checkpoint.
The killing apparently occurred moments later.
In July, a special prosecutor said 67 journalists have been killed and 14 have disappeared in Mexico since 2006.

No, it's actually the sequel to Spiderman 2, and the finale of the Spiderman 3 trilogy.
I like it that the cover art reminds you what number these films are. A big number at the bottom reminds you that Spiderman 2 is the second film, whilst Spiderman 3 is the third film. That's really helpful.
Wow - that is truly some of the worst sleeve art I've seen in a long, long time! Sony should get an award or something for this...
Utterly awful cover arts! Won the most ugly cover art award of the decade!
That's some seriously ugly cover art.
They didn't have necks or shoulders in the original Spider-man?

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - On another brilliant day of golf, Rory
McIlroy ran away with the U.S. Open title, winning by eight shots
and breaking the tournament scoring record by a whopping four
McIlroy shot 2-under 69 Sunday to close the four days at
Congressional at 16-under 268, shattering a U.S. Open scoring
record held by four players, including Jack Nicklaus and Tiger
Jason Day finished at 8 under, good for second place in his
second straight major.
Two months ago, McIlroy blew a four-shot lead on the last day at
the Masters. But there was never any sign of a crack in this one.
The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland started the day with an
eight-shot lead and it never got lower. He became the third player
in U.S. Open history to break 70 in all four rounds.

November to the Bruins game: 3.64 G/G (102 G in 28 GP)

Interestingly enough, Cody Hodson was relatively hot during that productive period - 21 of his 33 points as a Canuck came in that stretch. Outside of that period Hodgson contributed little or no offense (12 P in 32 GP) and the Canucks offensive production was middling at best.
My guess is that the Canucks saw Hodgson as a player that would be productive at some times (and a key to victory during those times) and a complete liability otherwise.

Herringbone Hikaru
Added Aug 17, 2009
by elainemay
Aachen, Germany
I finished my Hikaru jacket while ago, but I never got around to photographing it. I was inspired to make one by ParaNoire's beautiful version, and now I wear it several times a week! I omitted the rows of buttons down the front and instead made buttoned pocket flaps for the chest, and instead of using three buttons evenly spaced down the cuffs, I used two buttons near the top of the cuff. I also had to redraft the sleeves because they were too wide and the sleeve caps were enormous. There are a ton of marvelous details in this jacket that make it a fun, challenging project, and give it its urban, military style- I love this pattern – thank you for my new jacket, BurdaStyle!
Material Notes
Black and white wool herringbone flannel/tweed for the shell. Teal jacquard for the lining. Antiqued silvertone buttons, separating zipper.

I was wondering how this jacket would look in herringbone and the answer is AMAZING. Good job, well done.

So, how much wearing ease would you say you have on your hikaru? My sz 44 muslin is too big (mostly in the back), but I think a 42 would be very fitted.

It's the third race of the season for both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Sprint Cup Series
Kobalt 400 - Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Las Vegas, Nev.
This weekend's Sprint Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be the first of 11 events contested on 1.5-mile racetracks this season.
NASCAR has a new rules package for the intermediate tracks on the Sprint Cup schedule. Forty-eight teams participated in a four-hour test session on Thursday at Las Vegas, familiarizing themselves with the 2014 package.
Rule changes for the intermediate tracks this season include statically setting the race car ride height and eliminating the pre-and-post-race front- height rules and inspections. The package also contains a square leading edge on the splitter, side-skirt and rear-fascia adjustments and an eight-inch rear spoiler. A 43-inch by 13-inch radiator pan are among the changes as well.
NASCAR implemented chassis and aerodynamic adjustments into the setup specifications, with the hopes of creating more green-flag passing and side- by-side racing. The sanctioning body gathered information from lengthy test sessions held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5-mile track, in October and December.
"For the most part, I think it looks like there's speed in the cars, and I think as the weekend unfolds [at Las Vegas], they'll probably be a little bit quicker," NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said. "I think the important day will be Saturday [final Sprint Cup practice] where we have more cars working on race trim and around each other. It will be about learning the aero part of the car, how they drive around each other. That will probably change significantly from multi-car runs to single-car runs."
Fresh off of his win last Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway, Kevin Harvick topped the speed charts in testing at Las Vegas. Harvick, in his first season as driver of the No. 4 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing, made a total of 42 laps. His best lap was clocked at 190.140 mph. He was the only driver who surpassed the 190 mph mark.
"I thought it went really well," Harvick said of his test session. "We struggled in the beginning just to get the feel. It took us a couple of hours to kind of get everything situated and get the balance of the car right. Then we felt pretty good about it after that. Changed a lot of stuff and did a lot of different things to the car. I felt like we made good head way in the end, and hopefully, we can progress on that and make it even better."
Harvick drove for Richard Childress Racing during his first 13 seasons in the Cup Series before moving over to SHR. He has yet to win a Cup race at Las Vegas but finished second there in 2010.
Rookie Austin Dillon had the second quickest lap during the Las Vegas test. Trevor Bayne was third, followed by Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick, who is Harvick's teammate at SHR. Dale Earnhardt Jr., the current points leader and winner of the season-opening Daytona 500, placed 19th on the speed charts.
"Whatever we use here will traditionally translate to a lot of racetracks throughout the year," Earnhardt said. "We may be able to see trends. We have a lot more spoiler on the car with the new package, on the ride height, that changes the downforce quite a bit. So you're going to start to see trends whether it be rear-spring split, different things that will be a little bit different from last year that will help you shortcut understanding how to take it to another racetrack."
Both Earnhardt and Harvick will make it into this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship unless there are more than 15 different winners in the first 26 races (regular season). That's only happened twice in the 65-year history of NASCAR's premier series.
During the offseason, NASCAR made sweeping changes to the Chase format by expanding the field of drivers/teams from 12 to 16. The top-15 drivers with the most wins over the first 26 races will become eligible for the playoffs, provided they have finished in the top-30 in points. The 16th and final position will go to the driver who is the highest in points without a victory.
Could there be a third different race winner this season on Sunday at Las Vegas?
One year ago at this track, Matt Kenseth gambled on tires late in the race and then held off Kasey Kahne in the closing laps for the win. It came in just his third start as driver of the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth also celebrated his 41st birthday on the day of his Las Vegas win.
Forty-eight teams are on the entry list for the Kobalt 400.
Nationwide Series
Sam's Town 300 - Las Vegas Motor Speedway - Las Vegas, Nev.
There are four racetracks currently on the Nationwide Series schedule where Kyle Busch has yet to win a race.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, his hometown track, is one of them.
Last Saturday, Busch won a Nationwide race at Phoenix International Raceway for a record third straight time, even though the scheduled 200-lap event there was cut short by 32 laps due to rain. He also earned his record- extending 64th career win in the series.
Busch has competed in the Nationwide race at Las Vegas each year since 2004, finishing second there two times (2007 and '13). In last year's event, Sam Hornish Jr. grabbed the lead from Busch with 48 laps remaining and then held off Busch after two restarts within the final 15 laps. It was the second career win for Hornish in Nationwide.
"We had a good finish last year [at Las Vegas], considering we started further back in the pack than we wanted to, due to qualifying being rained out, so just had to work our way through the traffic," Busch said. "Got a second out of it, but would like to improve on that obviously. We are off to a good start with the Phoenix win. Just hope we don't get wet with any more rain."
There is no chance of rain in the forecast for the Las Vegas area on Saturday.
This season, Busch and Hornish are sharing driving duties in the No. 54 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Busch is scheduled to drive it in 26 Nationwide races, while Hornish will behind the wheel in the remaining seven events.
Busch won a Sprint Cup Series race at Las Vegas in 2009.
"Vegas always means a little bit more pressure - more pressure on myself - just because it's the hometown and you want to win there."
The last two Nationwide races as Las Vegas have been won by series regulars. Hornish did it last year, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. did so in 2012. Stenhouse graduated to Sprint Cup in 2013.
Regan Smith, the current points leader and winner of the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway, has four Nationwide starts at Las Vegas, with his best finish of seventh occurring this past season. Smith holds a five- point advantage over Trevor Bayne, while Elliott Sadler trails by six markers.
Forty teams are on the entry list for the Boyd Gaming 300. Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson, David Ragan and Busch are those Sprint Cup regulars scheduled to compete in this race.

I recently had the opportunity to look into compression for a project. I had to implement the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm for mobile phones in J2ME but before that, I implemented it in Java for testing purposes.
I wish to thank Mark Nelson for pointing out that the Unisys patent on this algorithm has expired, so there are fewer headaches in the use of this algorithm.
This implementation is actually based on the C version of the implementation by Mark Nelson at http://marknelson.us/1989/10/01/lzw-data-compression/. Please refer to this website for further details about the algorithm. The Java adaptation is designed to work for ASCII encoded text files.

The Ministry of
Lutheran Braille Workers
Rev. Stueve with both Braille
and Large Print Bibles
A few years ago, I was attending a conference for church leaders and the speaker said, "Do you know that God loves the lost as much as he loves you?" While my mind said, "Of course!" it made me think about my actions. If the lost matter to God they must matter to me. If the blind and those with visual disabilities matter to God, they must matter to us too.
Lutheran Braille Workers exists to show the love of God to people with visual disabilities and to bring them into a growing relationship with God. We do this by engaging some 5,000 volunteers in over 150 Work Centers throughout the United States who joyfully produce approximately 250,000 volumes a year of Braille and specialized Large Print Bibles and Christian literature.
Lutheran Braille Workers is the largest Christian ministry in the world that provides Braille and specialized Large Print Bibles free of charge for the visually impaired. Thanks to the army of volunteers and thousands who financially support this ministry, Lutheran Braille Workers is able to place the Word of God into the hands of the blind and visually impaired at no expense to them.
In addition Lutheran Braille Workers has Outreach Centers throughout the United States which minister to the blind and people with visual disabilities with Jesus' love and with resources they can use. Most importantly, Outreach Centers provide a family of love and care. Many people who would not otherwise hear about Jesus connect to God's Word and His people at Outreach Centers.
Helping People Touch, and Be Touched by, the Promises of Jesus!
In HIS awesome service,
Rev. Dennis Stueve

Social media is about engagement, so there's often quite a large debate about adding any automated elements to a social media campaign. Because let's face it—no one wants to follow an account that's essentially a bot. Or do they?
While some automation tools do nothing but make your social media profile look like an announcement board, other tools can be used to sync right into your normal engagement to give it a helpful boost.
Here are some Twitter automation tools, services and tips, which when used the right way, can be a valuable addition to your social media strategy. And when I say the right way, I mean that you should be using these to supplement your regular social engagement and not only using these tools to give your account the look of activity.

MSM-Targeted HIV Prevention
Definition of the Prevention Area
Globally, men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV and urgently need increased coverage by quality prevention interventions. Evidence has shown that sustained combination approaches to HIV prevention that simultaneously address biomedical, behavioral and structural risks are most effective at reducing HIV transmission in generalized, concentrated, and mixed epidemic scenarios. Despite this evidence and the disproportionate epidemic burden that MSM shoulder, HIV prevention services remain sub-optimal in many countries.
Not all MSM have an identity associated with their sexual preferences and behavior; and those who do not self-identify as MSM pose a formidable challenge to programs that seek to reach them. For example, the term "MSM" can include gay- or bisexual-identified men, transgender men who have sex with men, men who identify as completely heterosexual, men who identify through indigenous identities outside the largely Western concepts of hetero- or homosexuality, or men with no particular sexual identity at all. In many cultures, heterosexism (the assumption that everyone is heterosexual) is pervasive, and any behavior or identity that deviates from a heterosexual cultural norm is stigmatized and discriminated against, and in some cases is criminalized.
Individual-level risks for HIV acquisition in MSM include unprotected receptive anal intercourse, a high frequency of male partners, a high number of lifetime male partners, injecting and non-injecting drug use, a high viral load in the index partner, and mental health issues. At the structural level, risks include criminalization of same-sex behavior, avoidance of health services out of fear of discrimination, and breaches of privacy and confidentiality. To succeed, HIV prevention interventions must take into account the complexities of MSM identity their multiple levels of risk. Combination approaches that simultaneously address behavioral, biomedical, and structural risks are an effective way to do this. At all levels, MSM individuals and communities must be involved in conceptualizing, planning, implementing, and evaluating research and programming.
Epidemiological Justification for the Prevention Area
Three decades into the epidemic, HIV continues to disproportionately affect MSM everywhere. Globally, MSM are 19 times more likely to be infected by HIV than the general population of reproductive age and have an overall HIV prevalence of 12 percent (http://www.amfar.org/uploadedFiles/_amfarorg/Articles/On_The_Hill/2013/K...(2).pdf). Many MSM also have female sexual partners and can function as a bridge, bringing HIV to other populations. Nevertheless, research and interventions focused at MSM are still under-prioritized by governments, donors, and civil society. Surveillance data, when available, is limited and likely underestimates both the size of the population of MSM and their HIV prevalence rates. Some estimates suggest that as few as 5 percent of MSM worldwide have access to basic HIV prevention services.
There is evidence to show that prevention interventions aimed to engage MSM can reduce risk for HIV infection among MSM. Group- and community-level behavioral interventions among MSM have been shown to lead to up to a 43 percent decrease in unprotected anal sex; and group-level interventions have been shown to increase the odds of condom use by as much as 81 percent. A recent study suggested that behavioral interventions that reach 25 percent or more of non-self-identified MSM are more effective than those targeting self-identified MSM alone. Another study suggested that countries that combine MSM-specific community-based behavioral prevention interventions with condom and condom-compatible lubricant distribution can reduce new HIV infections among both MSM and the general population. Evidence also shows that episodic and/or single-track interventions tend to be less effective in the long term, which highlights a need for sustained combination prevention approaches.
Core Programmatic Components
The World Health Organization (WHO), with other global agencies, has identified a set of evidence-informed, mutually reinforcing biomedical, behavioral, and structural HIV prevention intervention components which, when combined, effectively reduce HIV infection among MSM. The following are some examples of strongly-recommended program components:
- Biomedical approaches aim to reduce HIV transmission and acquisition risk. Current approaches that WHO strongly recommends include condom distribution with silicone- and water-based lubricants, combined with counseling and education, HIV testing services (HTS), sensitization of HTS sites to MSM needs, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infection (STI) (for genital, oropharyngeal, and anorectal STIs), and antiretroviral therapy, including post-exposure prophylaxis. Though these are the current approaches, the combination prevention toolkit is growing as more research is done around pre-exposure oral prophylaxis (PrEP) and rectal microbicides.
- Structural prevention activities aim to bring about social change in the general population by reducing stigma and discrimination and other barriers to effective prevention and treatment of HIV. Decriminalization of same-sex behaviors, policies that safeguard MSM and transgender rights, engagement with the media, and community and health systems strengthening are all examples of viable program components. However, none of these can be effective unless communities are successfully mobilized, engaged, and empowered. Community members must be involved in a collaborative, iterative process. Moreover, evidence-informed advocacy is an important step towards achieving positive structural change.
- Behavioral approaches aim to promote safer behaviors to prevent HIV. Specifically, such approaches include sustained efforts to increase the use of condoms paired with water- and silicone-based lubricants; reduce the frequency of unprotected anal sex; and increase health-seeking behavior. Behavior change communication (BCC) can be delivered effectively at individual, group and community levels. BCC can include mobile phone messages, Internet-based strategies and social marketing campaigns, and other message delivery from diverse communication platforms, including sex venue "hot spots," health care facilities, and the general community.
Accurate estimates of the size of the MSM population are essential to the design of prevention interventions. This poses a significant challenge, since many MSM do not self-identify or choose not to disclose their sexuality. A number of methods, including the relatively new network scale-up method, have shown effectiveness for use with MSM. UNAIDS recommends making estimates by triangulating results from more than one method, and cautions researchers and programmers to interpret data with care, and to clearly acknowledge sampling method biases.
Current Status of Implementation Experience
Regardless of which combination of prevention approaches is used, a number of overarching best practices are recommended to improve the reach and quality of all MSM-focused HIV programs:
- Involve MSM and MSM living with HIV in program design, implementation, and evaluation. The most deep-reaching and successful approaches to prevention interventions leverage the community ties and experiences of MSM, their networks, an understanding of factors affecting HIV risk and their ability to connect meaningfully with other MSM.
- Ensure confidentiality. Given the high levels of stigma and discrimination that MSM face, confidentiality is a key requirement.
- Provide training for both general health care staff and staff who work in HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs, to help them provide high-quality, stigma-free services.
- Reach beyond MSM groups. Interventions that target general audiences in addition to MSM audiences have been shown to also reach diverse subgroups of MSM, including non-self-identified MSM.
- Collect and use strategic information such as ongoing surveillance, research studies, and monitoring and evaluation data, and incorporate new knowledge and technological advances as they emerge.
- Link, integrate and co-locate services, especially to HIV care and treatment for HIV-positive MSM. This is particularly important, as anti-retroviral therapy has been identified as a key component of successful HIV prevention.
Although many studies demonstrate the reproducibility of research and the effectiveness of behavioral interventions with MSM in the United States, far less information is available for program outcomes in other geographic areas, such as Africa and Asia, and among hard-to-reach subgroups of MSM. To inform future interventions, more investment must be made in conducting research in these other contexts and publishing findings widely.

Handling of menus and helpfile for DotPup and multiple WMs
The way menus are currently handled is as follows:
- The 0root_skeleton package provides a menu template that puts every known
application where it belongs in the menu, except that all the lines in the template are commented out.
There is a menu template for each window manager since they have different syntaxes
- when the ISO is created by the createpuppy script, the script goes through the list of the pupgets/unleashed that were actually installed and uncomments the corresponding line in the template file for every windows manager (currently only 2 are supported: fvwm95 and JWM)
- when you add/remove a package using PupGet, PuGet goes through a similar process and comments or uncomments the corresponding line in the template.
This works great but it assumes that all possible applications are known when the template is built. This is mostly true for pupget/unleashed packages, but this model breaks down when you throw DotPup packages in the mix: there is no way to know in advance what applications might be added and where they go into the menu
The writer of the DotPup package might be nice enough to implement some code in the dotpup.sh script to manually insert a menu item in the menu or he may not.
The other problem with this approach is that if you add new windows manager (iceWM, PAWM, fluxbox, ...):
The person creating the unleashed package for the windows manager can provide a template and the commenting/uncommenting funtions described above as part of the pinstall.sh, but this only work for the ISO, the PupGet application will not know that other windows manager are present and will not know how to handle their template.
And what of DotPups? All DotPups released before the windows manager was release will not have support for it, even if they did provide support for inserting their app in the window managers they knew about
I propose we change the way menus are inserted as follows:
1) define a common windows manager independent menu template
This would be a file that is designed to be easy to edit and would be very readable and easily parsed by a script, maybe something like:
[section title]
{App 1}
{App 2}
{App 3}
[section title]
{App 4}
{App 5}
{App 6}
{App 7}
{App 8}
or maybe we can use XML, or....
2) define WM specific "entry points" and a formal way of enumerating window managers
may done through a directory called
some path/WM_API/UpdateFvwm95Menu.sh
some path/WM_API/UpdateJWMMenu.sh
some path/WM_API/UpdateIceWMMenu.sh
some path/WM_API/UpdateFluxboxMenu.sh
3) whenever a new package is installed (through DotPup or PupGet or whatever) the author of the package provides the code to insert the menu item in the template defined at step1
It could still be done in a way similar to how unleashed are handled, where you simply comment or uncomment a line that has been place in a predetermined logical place.
DotPups and other programs that were not known at the time the template was created can insert themselves based on what they know of the template. For example if your DotPup is a new word processor, you can insert your app in the line that follows AbiWord, even if AbiWaord is uncommented.
If another word processor installs itself the same way, it will simply be inserted between Abiword and the first additional word processor.
Of course the creator of the DotPup can use any rule they want, even create a brand new section, etc...
The good thing is that the DotPup creator has to deal with only a single well know file format, that of the template which is WM independent, so it makes it easier to write the code that manipulates it. It also allows to have generic examples that anyone can use if they create a DotPup, even if they're no programming wiz.
4) everytime the template is updated, the script that updated it (dotpup.sh for example) calls a script called updateWMmenus (or whatever)
what that script does is to call every function in some path/WM_API/ (or every function that starts with Update)
What each UpdateXXXXMenu.sh in that path does does is parse the template and translate it from the common format to the WM specific format expected by the WM
This means that whoever provides a WM for puppy must write the corresponding updateXXXXMenu.sh for it.
The good news is that they only have to deal with that one WM they're working on, and anyone making a WM package should be able to write such a script (or get help from someone that can)
5) The Help file (index.html) is currently handled in a similar way, where PupGet uncomments a line in a predefined list of packages and DotPups do whatever they want, whcih is probably nothing.
We could have a script that would need to be written once called updateHelpFile and that would take 3 arguments: the name of the application, the path to its help file and the name of the unleashed application that precedes it in the help file
This would require no programming on the part of the DotPup packager, just a one liner:
updateHelpFile "MyWord" "/sur/share/doc/MyWord.htm" "Abiword"
as a side note, this would also resolve the problem where you can't easily remove a menu item from the fvwm menu because of the different format for the first menu item in each section.

How to get the word out, so everyone knows to do it every time? It won't work to just post it somewhere. It needs to somehow be built-in, and easy to use, or won't get done. Or at least not done thoroughly and consistently.
This means that
whoever provides a WM for puppy must write the corresponding updateXXXXMenu.sh for it

We can at least post that information on the "how to make a DotPup" page of the wiki, since it's likely that anyone new to making a DotPup will end up there.
If we provide examples of scripts that are easy to tweak, people will be morel ikely to do the right thing.
I also meant to try the Visual DotPup maker. I haven't checked it out so I don't know if one of its goals is to automate things such as menu insertion, but that sure would be a useful feature.
As far as inventing a more generic menux insertion mechanims, we should look at what the FreeDesktop group is doing, they have a generic menu standard here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fmenu_2dspec
IceWM is already supports deriving its menus from that standard, and if we stick with an existing standard we might be able to get "menu editing" utilities that others wrote

3-Foot High Speed HDMI Cable With Ferrite Cores – 28AWG, Yellow
You've spent a ton of money on a new, state of the art HDTV or home theater system. Shouldn't you be sure to use the best possible HDMI cable to connect the display monitor to the source?
Of course you should. You should insist on a Cmple high speed HDMI cable with ferrite cores – especially when our prices are so much lower than the ones at big box stores.
If your source and your monitor are just a foot or so apart, the 3 feet Cmple high speed cable works perfectly to deliver optimal HD picture and high-res sound, and are designed to work on just about every device that's been developed. They not only faithfully reproduce common 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p digital signals, but are capable of maintaining the integrity and purity of 4K or 3D video. That's right, these cables are intended for use on the most advanced, next-generation 4K x 2K resolution TVs and monitors, meaning that a resolution of 4096x2160 is absolutely no problem whatsoever. They're also designed to handle 3D video just with a single cable. The viewing experience rivals that of the digital systems used at your local movie complex, and is absolutely amazing whether you're watching a Blu-ray film or playing video games – and the Cmple HDMI cable ensures that every pixel and note looks and sounds exactly as it's supposed to.
There are a lot of other goodies in this foot-and-a-half long cable; let's start by looking at its construction. The biggest advantage is the inclusion of standard ferrite cores; they are able to filter out high-frequency noise which can interfere with proper signal transmission, whether that interference comes from power lines, nearby radio stations, or other equipment in your home which generates RF contamination. Without this protection, digital signals are at risk of degrading and can produce inferior picture or sound. The ferrites ensure that doesn't happen, as does the shielding provided by the cable's durable, yellow PVC outer layer. Also standard are gold-plated connectors at both ends, which prevent signal distortion while also guarding against corrosion.
The other goodies are designed to ensure that these 28 gauge Cmple HDMI cables will handle anything you can throw at them. They have an audio return channel, so that digital audio data can be transferred back and forth between an HDTV and an audio system (such as surround sound or an audio/video receiver) without the need for an extra audio cable. The cables also support extra color spaces in addition to RGB and x.v.Color: AdobeRGB color, Adobe YCC601 color and sYCC601 color, which will deliver more vibrant picture quality than ever before.
Here are the specifications for this 3 feet HDMI cable with ferrite cores:
There's no reason to pay the exorbitant prices you sometimes see charged by "Monstrous" cable manufacturers. Cmple's 3-foot high-speed cables with ferrite cores can do everything those expensive cables can do – and with all of their advanced features, can do even more. Most importantly, they'll deliver the ultimate viewing experience with perfect reproduction of digital audio and video, every time.
