We've covered many ways of making your own Mac NetBook and Hackintosh in the past and while they're all great ways of doing it, they involve grabbing necessary patches, mostly from torrent sites, and inevitably leave some pieces of the hardware on your PC not working with OS X.
EFi-X USB V1 recently surfaced and this product lets you get OS X on your PC without the usual patches and hacking. Instead it attaches to the internal USB header on a PC's motherboard. It's not as involved as it sounds and the folks at Test Freaks put together a great how-to, complete with pictures, benchmarks, and more.
{ad}One drawback to this approach is that it requires you to have a desktop PC and not a laptop, and the EFi-X USB V1 sells for about $200. The good news is that it's still a cheaper way to get a Mac and the company isn't in danger of being sued out of existence anytime soon since they promote the EFi-X USB V1 as a BPU (Boot Processing Unit) and it can be used in conjunction with several different operating systems. There is also a hardware compatibility list that users will want to stick to in order to ensure a successful build.

Applies only when using the IPMA console application and using the speed dials or directory to place calls. For ex: an assistant can dial a number with out prefixing a 9, an app dial rule can be used to prefix a 9, strip a few digits (if wanted) etc.
This does not work from assistant phone. The following are the only way you can dial
a. You have to drag and drop the number from the speed-dials or directory search window in the console application to the call window in the console.
b. Right click on the speed-dial or directory search window and click Dial option.
App dial rules can be prioritised in a list. Its just like an ACL. If a match is made, it will immediately apply the rules specified in that rule and then routing control goes over to Callmanager (Route patterns, translation patterns) from IPMA.

Economic meltdown threatens Film 4
Film Four's head, Tessa Ross, appeared in front of the House of Lords Communications Committee, which is undertaking an investigation into the state of the UK's film and TV industries, and warned that her company's future is under threat as the recession continues to hit hard the fortunes of its parent company Channel 4.
"We would be foolish not to be worried," Ross told the attending peers.
She called on to committee to re-write Channel 4's mission to include the film channel's activities. She stressed that Film 4 had invested £1.5 million from its annual 14 million budget into the Oscar-winning hit "Slumdog Millionaire".
Channel 4's mission is less specific in its support for investing in British film production than that of BBC.

By now, you've probably heard about the countless benefits of running to your health. Not only will it improve your body, but it will also boost your overall wellbeing.
With its promising effects, it's inevitable for many to jump on the bandwagon without knowing about the important details.
Admit it or not, not all runners know the difference between the various types of running exercises.
Some might even think that running is all the same. But did you know that there are different kinds of runs depending on your needs?
Check them out below:
Base Run
This kind of run is perfect for beginners. It is usually relatively short to moderate-length run done at your natural pace. Base run is not meant to be challenging. It is supposed to be frequently done instead.
By doing base run, you can significantly improve your endurance, aerobic capacity, and running capability. If you want to consider a base run, try running 5 to 6 miles at your natural pace, then gradually increase as you improve.
Progression Run
This run is slightly more challenging than base run. Initially, runners are required to begin at their natural pace and end with a faster speed similar to that of a marathon.
Since this workout is moderately challenging, it needs longer recovery time as compared to easier ones. An excellent way to start a progression run is by tackling 5 miles at your natural pace, then adding another mile at marathon speed.
Long Run
This is basically a base run but lasts long enough to make you feel moderate to severe fatigue.
The idea is to boost your raw endurance, making you more capable of taking in longer distance and duration in your next runs.
During a long run, there's no need to increase your speed as your normal pace is enough to get the work done.
But if you're up for more challenge, you can incorporate other techniques like progressing the pace or mixing intervals.
Since this is a more extended version of a base run, it's better to run at least 10 miles on your natural pace.
Similar to long run, fartlek is a base run but with mixes of intervals based on duration and distance. This is considered a great way of improving your efficiency and fatigue resistance, which in return can definitely boost your performance.
An ideal way to do this is by running 5 miles at your natural pace plus 10 spurts of increased speed and ending it with a minute of a recovery run.
Interval runs are usually composed of shorter segments of fast running followed by slow jogging or standing recoveries. This allows runners to combine more fast running into a single session, improving efficiency and fatigue resistance.
In addition, this kind of run is typically done on the track and subcategorized as short and long intervals.
Hill Repeats
Another challenging form of run is hill repeats.
It is a combination of short series of uphill running, which helps boost your aerobic power.
It can also improve your high-intensity fatigue resistance, pain tolerance, as well as strength.
If you want to give it a try, start by jogging for 2 miles, followed by 10 sets of uphill runs. Make sure to put 1 to 2 minutes of recovery breaks and 2 miles of jogging to cool down.
Tempo Run
Also known as threshold runs, this form of exercise is performed at the fastest pace a runner can sustain for a specific period of time.
Tempo run helps boost the speed you can perform for an extended period with more efficiency. Since this run is very challenging, it requires longer recovery time.
In order to achieve the best results in this kind of run, it's important to focus on your breathing and make sure that you're not gasping for air.
A good example of tempo run starts with 1 mile of jogging, followed by 3 miles of run at the fastest speed you can do, and ending with 1 mile of regular jogging to cool down.
Recovery Run
Typically, this run is short and performed at a relaxed pace. It is not required to exert too much effort in this workout as it serves merely a source of additional mileage to your training routine without compromising the condition of your body.
Recovery runs are best performed after a hard workout.

Today's the big day: The Apple-esque unveiling of Tesla Motors' latest concept car: a $57,400 electric sedan called the Model S. Tesla just pulled the sheets off two prototypes — one silver and one white — at the Los Angeles headquarters of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's other startup, SpaceX. As we expected: slick. What do you think?
Jason Calacanis, founder and CEO of Mahalo and a Tesla Roadster owner, was there. He snapped these photos and gave us permission to post them here (you can find more on his blog).
The following studio shots (along photos of an unfinished interior showing a giant touchscreen display) leaked out earlier today.

Kenyatta and Museveni 'humiliated' at the Somalia Conference
By Henry D Gombya
The United Kingdom today stands accused of 'humiliating' the leaders of two countries that have made peace possible in what was until only recently a failed Horn of Africa country that comes under the name of Somalia, by making sure that they were not photographed alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron.
After the failure of what was once the world's only super power, the United States of America (USA) to bring order to a battle-ridden Somalia, and after the failure of Ethiopia under the leadership of the late Prime Minister Zenawi to do the same, in came Uganda under the leadership of President Yoweri Museveni who sent in Ugandan soldiers to take on the Somali fighting tribes, especially the al Qaeda-leaning Al Shabaab.
While other countries like Burundi have also played their part in stabilising Somalia, Ugandan's leading role is unmistakeable. And less than two years ago, Kenya joined in when former President Mwai Kibaki ordered his troops to take on the Al Shabaab. It could be fair to argue that without the input that these East African countries have displayed, Somalia would today still be a failed state with warring armies controlling different parts of the country.
At yesterday's Somalia conference, the Kenyan and Ugandan leaders were largely ignored and British officials went out of their way to make sure that British Prime Minister David Cameron was not photographed with any of them. And with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, it was certainly embarrassing that a leader who has just come to power through a rare free and fair election in Africa could not be offered a photo opportunity with the British Prime Minister after he (Kenyatta) made Britain the first country he has accepted to visit since his election last March.

Highly regarded by professors and students alike , Engineering Economic Analysis, Eighth Edition, introduces the fundamental concepts of engineering economics. Written for standard engineering economics courses, this bestselling volume by Donald G. Newnan, Jerome P. Lavelle, and Ted G. Eschenbach covers essential time value of money principles for engineering projects and isolates the problems and decisions engineers commonly face. It also examines the tools necessary to properly analyze and solve those problems. Revised in 2000, the eighth edition focuses on the use of spreadsheets, teaching students to use the enormous capabilities of modern software, rather than relying on spreadsheet templates. The majority of the chapters conclude with sections designed to help students create spreadsheets based on the material covered in each chapter. The book's organization gives professors the flexibility to omit spreadsheet instruction without loss of continuity (accommodating shorter courses) or to require that all computations be done with spreadsheets, thus preparing students to use this essential tool for real-life problems.

Easy Homemade Whole Wheat Biscuits
These are my family's go-to biscuits that we make whenever we need a good, easy carb with a great soup. Or a bread basket for a dinner or cheese course! I love them because they are delicious, healthy, and a heck of a lot cheaper than the bread you can find at your supermarket. Why the heck is bread so expensive anyway?
These biscuits are yeast-less and take about 5 minutes to put together, 10 minutes to bake, and 0 minutes to inhale. I would call them no-knead biscuits, but you actually need to knead the dough 10-20 times, so I guess that would be lying. But since that takes only about 30 seconds and pretty much zero arm muscle, I would like to any way.
Another fabulous thing about them is that they are incredibly versatile. The ones you see above are actually Quinoa Whole-Wheat Biscuits. Normally I make these with 100% whole wheat flour, but this time, I decided to sub out half the flour with quinoa flour instead. It was equally as delicious, possibly even more fluffy and didn't make any difference whatsoever to how they turned out. You could also substitute other grains, such as cornmeal, rye, or spelt!
If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, substitute a low fat yogurt or Kefir! See? I told you these were versatile. Now you have no excuse not to make them. It's best to bake these right before you plan on eating them so they are piping hot right out of the oven! This also helps melt the butter that you will inevitably want to spread on them.
If you want a really genuine Southern biscuit, you could make these with White Lily flour…oh my goodness, it is so good! It's basically glorified white flour, but for some reason, it's famous and makes incredibly fluffy biscuits. I learned that trick from my godfather who is from Tennessee and grew up on a farm. He is probably one of the best chefs I know. I actually learned how to make these biscuits probably when I was only 8 years old and would always make them with him whenever we went over for dinner. Nothing beats mixing biscuit dough with your bare hands, getting flour everywhere, and the smell of fresh buttermilk.
Easy Whole Wheat Biscuits
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or whichever other flours you wish!)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk, yogurt or Kefir
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sift or whisk dry ingredients together.
- If using butter, break up into very small pieces and put into flour mixture. Mix with a pastry fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add buttermilk and form soft dough. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead 10-20 times. Do not over knead!
- Press into a 1/2 thick disk and cut using biscuit cutters.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until tops turn slightly brown. Serve hot.

These taste excellent with my recent recipe for Lima Bean, Zucchini & Leek soup! In fact, it was so delicious, I decided to make it twice in a week. If I make a dish twice in a week, it means I really really love it, so I hope that tells you something. Here's what I learned the second time round:
- If you can't find leeks, feel free to substitute two large yellow onions!
- Add 2-3 chopped carrots with the rest of the ingredients for a nice, simple and healthy twist.
This was equally as delicious as the original recipe!
So there ya go! No excuses, people. These biscuits (and soup, for that matter) are incredibly simple, healthy, and easy on the wallet. Ok, now that I've done my work for the day, I'm going to enjoy a nice cup of Earl Grey tea with milk. I am English, after all. By the way, I used Mighty Leaf tea for this cup. It's super duper expensive, but delicious! So naturally, I stole a free bag from the boyfriend's house.
Happy Friday!

Easy Aromatherapy Recipes. Just remember: If you use herbs instead of the oils, you'll need to use more. Also, remember that once the herbs rehydrate in the tub, their scent will be stronger! I chose Rosemary and Lavender because I just love how the two blend. Also, I had to buy the essential oil for this and I wanted something that I'd use often. And, once again, don't go all out and buy some expensive and fancy rosemary - get the cheap bulk stuff.
There is one ingredient on the list that I was worried about finding: Citric Acid powder. I took a shot in the dark and visited our local health food store, Health Matters in Monroe, MI, and found that Maurine had it AND it wasn't expensive. I only got a 4 oz. bottle, so I had to halve the recipe on About.com and, of course, I changed it up a little. Here's what I ended up with:
Rosemary-Lavender Bath Bombs
- 1/2 c. Corn starch
- 1/2 c. Citric Acid (4 oz.)
- 1 c. Baking Soda
- 1/2 c. Epsom Salt
- 1 tsp. Water
- 1/2 tsp. Borax
- 1/2 to 1 tsp Lavender Essential Oil
- 1 Tb. Dried Rosemary leaves, broken up into 1/4" or less pieces (I just pinched them in my hand to break them)
- 1 Tb. olive oil
- Colorant, if you want to use it (I used gel food coloring. If you have soap colorant you can use that, too)
*Make sure that you either use all glass or metal equipment, or use plastics that you don't need for cooking. The essential oil will permeate the plastic and no amount of washing will help you!... Trust me - I found out the hard way!
- Large glass or metal mixing bowl
- Metal whisk
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Small squirt bottle (I picked up some ketchup and mustard bottles from the housewares section at the end of summer for $0.25. You could use anything that is small, squeezable, and has a top that allows you to control how much comes out.)
- Spoons
- Baking sheet lined with wax paper, foil, or paper towels
- A mold for your bombs. I used the rounded half of a plastic Easter egg. Look around the house - lids, scoops, measuring cups, even a sturdy cardboard tube from the tin foil will work! You just want to make sure the mold is sturdy enough to withstand the pressure you're going to be putting on it by packing the mixture into it and that it is shaped to release the bombs easily.
I'm so sorry I didn't take pictures. Though, it would have been hard to do with my hands covered in bath bomb stuff! I made these on my own, without Little Guy's help, because I ended up making them at 2am. There are portions of this that he could have helped with, but it was rather powdery and I think I'm glad to have kept him out of this project - I wouldn't have wanted him, at his close level to the counter, to have breathed in all of that dust!
Make sure that you have all of your equipment at hand. This isn't a project where timing is everything, but it keeps things cleaner. I ended up trailing some of the mixture from one end of the kitchen to the other, collecting the things I needed as I went along.
- Mix the dry ingredients (*except the Borax) together with the whisk, or use a sifter: Cornstarch, Citric acid, Baking soda, Salt, and dried herbs. This is where I made the dusty powder bomb in my kitchen. Make sure you have food and clean dishes put away!
- In the squirt bottle, mix the wet ingredients and Borax: Water, essential oil, olive oil. Just put them all in and shake it up! This is where I added my food coloring, too. Remember to not over-do the coloring! The bombs will darken as they dry.
- Put your whisk in one hand and the squirt bottle in the other and get ready - this is where you have to make sure you went potty, the kids are going to be quiet for at least five minutes, and the answering machine is on. Just FIVE MINUTES! Squirt a tiny drop of the oil concoction into the middle of the dry stuff and wait a couple of seconds. See how it fizzes up? You don't want that to happen as you're mixing the wet and dry ingredients together, so make sure you keep stirring with that whisk. I don't know the scientific explanation as to why the stirring prevents the fizzing, it just does. So, as you drizzle the wet ingredients into the bowl, whisk like crazy. You may want to stop drizzling once in a while to make sure that it's all mixed in before adding more.
- You want to check every once in a while to see if you have enough wet mixed in - depending on your ingredients, you may need less wet than you mixed up. Grab a small handful of the mixture and squeeze it hard. Open your hand and gently poke the mass. If it flakes up any, crumble it back into the bowl and keep adding the wet ingredients. If it doesn't - stop and go on to step 6. If you run out of wet stuff, go to step 5. (Check the picture that David Fisher was so kind to include in his instructions here.)
- If you need more wet, just put 1 TB of water into your squirt bottle. I added a little more food coloring here, too, because I wanted a darker color. Shake it up really well to get some of the leftover oils mixed in and keep squirting, mixing, and checking to see if you have enough wet in there. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH WET! I have no idea how to fix this!
- Now you're ready to mold your bath bombs! Get your mold and fill it up with the mixture. Press it in there as tightly as you possible can. This took everything I had to do - I have arthritis in my wrists and fingers. It's important to get it packed well, or they'll end up falling apart as they dry (if they do, just crumble them up, put it in a jar with a nice bow on top and call it Fizzy Bath Salts!)
- If you're using a tube to mold them, set it directly on top of the lined baking sheet. Put some of the mixture into the tube, then use something to batter it down. I used a spice jar lid that fit perfectly inside the tube. kind of like a piston, and then used a long wooden spoon handle to pound it down. It worked great, but I didn't care for the giant pill-shaped bombs, so I scraped them and used the 1/2 egg mold. Once you have it packed well, just slowly lift the tube straight up. If it sticks, you can tap the sides of the tube and use the lid/spoon to press it out as you lift.
- Unmolding can be tough. You must have patience because you can't just plop them out unless your mold will allow it.I just repeatedly tapped and shook the mold against my hand until the bomb came out. There were times when I'd nearly given up - it was getting really late! - but then the bomb would pop into my hand.
- Set the bombs on the baking sheet into your oven or other safe place to dry. Mine were dry in 12 hours, but I let them sit for about a day and a half just to make sure they were dry all the way through. When they were dry, they were rock hard and not at all fragile!
- I packed three bombs into each bag, added a sprig or two of dried lavender for pretties, and was done!
- Split the dry mixture into two separate bowls, mix the wet ingredients into two separate bottles, and add different colors. When molding, create stripes or swirls of the two colors.
- Wrap each bomb in plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon.
- Put the bombs into wide-mouthed Mason jars with a pretty ribbon tied around the top.
- Pack the bombs into a "spa gift basket" with herbal tea, raw honey, a pretty mug, handmade soap, a scrubby or pretty washcloth...

Waldorf BabyWearing Mama Doll
January 11, 2010
I have been really lucky to meet many mama's growing their babies, meeting them shortly after their birth and teaching them how to sling their babies. Even luckier, I have had the opportunity to make these babies their first birthday present. This doll is for Natalie, her mama bought a Pandawrap before she was born and she specially ordered this doll to celebrate her baby's special day one year later!
There are some great new prints for spring. This one is by far one of my favourites, purple disco dot trim on espresso organic twill. I also have new fabrics for the PandaWrap, this is a 70% bamboo 30% organic cotton blend and comes in a beautiful raisin colour. The fabric is silky soft, lightweight but very supportive and just the right amount of stretch. I had the opportunity to take this wee tiny baby for a walk last week in the wrap and it was so sweet and cozy!
May has been busy for me, lots and lots of sewing, the K-W Baby and Toddler show, bike riding with my family and so much more.
I have two new retailers for my slings, one in nearby Cambridge and one in the beautiful city of North Bay where I grew up and my family still lives. Bush Babies Baby Boutique carries many great natural parenting products, cloth diapers, carriers, amber necklaces and so much more, their customer service is amazing! Ecobabies is located in the Eaton Family Health Care Clinic in Cambridge, they also offer cloth diapers, stainless steel drinking bottles, BabyLegs and lots more! I am so excited to be working with two more like-minded 'mompreneurs' promoting natural parenting. It is so great to have companies supporting Canadian made work-at-home 'Mama' businesses! Thank you!!
Almost done..

My dad knows how much I love babywearing, on his travels he tries to capture images to bring back to me. This one is from his trip to Mexico this past December, isn't it lovely?
The Rebozo (stole-like mexican garment)
By Eduardo Rincón-Gallardo – October 2006.
Part of the indigenous women's attire, the rebozo is worn in many ways at different times in a Mexican woman's life. In Puerto Vallarta it is even celebrated with an annual gala evening.
The rebozo is a piece of fabric 7ft by 2ft, though dimensions vary from region to region. This typical garment has been an inseparable companion of Mexican women for many centuries.
Rebozos are made from wool or cotton. They are colored with dyes made from local plants, insects and marine molluscs. Rebozos take their form and colors from the local resources and climate.
A connoisseur can tell the origin of any rebozo by its material, its design and its colors.
Apart from protecting a woman from the cold and the sun, the rebozo is the ideal garment used by a mother to keep her child by her side at all times. By tying her rebozo it becomes a sling, and her hands are free to wash, cook and go about her daily routine and duties. The rebozo gives the mother flexibility to breast-feed, talk and sing to her baby, or pray while carrying her child at her waist, on her back, on her shoulders, or wherever her motherly love's creativity will allow.
Even before birth the rebozo can be of great help; women know how to use the rebozo to position the baby and facilitate birth in complicated cases.
In Mexico the high veneration rendered to a mother is not gratuitous. There are strong ties like the rebozo that greatly strengthen the weave that traditionally unites Mexican families.

Cy Twombly brings warmth to Winter at the De La Warr Pavilion - writes Josh Speer of a "flawless" show.
Quattro Stagioni is an exhibition exploring Twombly's relationship with both American abstraction, and European traditions.
The cinematic curation of the room spotlights each painting. Named after the four seasons, they offer a real visual feast. Bursts of colour explode across the large canvases, as though the elements from the seasons - wind and rain - have taken over the gestures of Twombly. Marks squiggled on with pencil and crayon join to make words and sentences written in Italian and English. Although hard to read behind the layers of acrylic and oil, their composition offers another element of aesthetics to Twombly's interpretations of life and death.
Twombly's influence from both Europe and America is clear to see: the canvases in scale are similar to Rothko; the gestures used to apply the paint reflect a 'Pollock-De Kooning' style, and the incorporation of text is something of a poetic 'pop' statement. Twombly seems obsessed with loosening the posture of words, the fluid rolls and curves seen repeated in both earlier and later works: Untitled (1968) and Untitled (2005). Having only died 4 years ago, Twombly is celebrated as one of the greatest modern artists, and with the dead and rebirth of seasons, the exhibition is itself, a celebration of Cy Twombly and his life.
Quattro Stagioni is free and runs until January 10 2016 at the DLWP, Bexhill. With a talk of Cy Twombly by Art Historian Colin Pink taking place 28th November 2015. £7/£5 members & concessions.

As "old media" seek to reach new audiences through the use of online technologies, we've seen journalists, like the Boston Globe's Michael Paulson develop blogs (his is "Articles of Faith"). Sometimes these are a way of posting less formal comments on a topic. Sometimes they offer another place to discuss issues that journalists can't fit into the traditional news hole.
Which raises the question -- to what standards should we hold these blogs? (And yes, I realize that these questions can also apply to us at GetReligion). At a minimum, one would expect journalists to strive for accuracy and make corrections if they make mistakes -- those are also "old media" standards. But look beyond these fundamentals and the dilemmas get more interesting. Are reporters obligated, for example, to present more one point of view? Do they strive for objectivity -- or is the blog a haven for personal opinions?
I pondered these questions while reading Manya Brachear's post in her Chicago Tribune blog, "The Seeker" on a move by some clergy to back a Illinois bill decriminalizing the use of medical marijuana.
There's actually a very serious national discussion going on about the use of marijuana to treat the symptoms of illnesses MS and chronic pain. But per my headline, pot is a topic that prompts some truly terrible humor -- another reason to blame baby boomers, or maybe the Grateful Dead.
Brachear's lede, frankly, thuds. As those using this particular Gospel story often seem to forget, Jesus didn't only tell the aspiring "stoners" to cut it out, but told the adulterous woman to "go and sin no more."
When Jesus proclaimed "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone," he was preaching compassion. Some Illinois clergy who support a different kind of getting stoned say they are urging compassion too.
More than 60 religious leaders in Illinois are calling on state senators this week to pass a bill that would allow patients to use medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation and without criminal consequences.
Brachear includes quotes from medical marijuana proponents, including clergy from the United Church of Christ and United Methodist denominations. But she doesn't quote clergy opponents -- who probably wouldn't be that hard to find. Nor does she identify who is promoting this bill in the State Senate and whether they have any religious connection.
Several studies suggest that marijuana can mitigate nausea, pain and anxiety for patients with illnesses such as HIV, cancer, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain. Theological arguments are based on these findings.
"There is a moral obligation to heal and address suffering," said Rev. Al Sharp, executive director of Chicago-based Protestants for the Common Good. "Jesus lived his life healing those where he could and bringing those to the absence of pain. This is entirely consistent with that."
I would hope that those clergy who want to see marijuana legalized have a theological perspective on which to make that argument, rather than the other way around. The quote from Sharp supports that interpretation -- and it would have been really helpful to have seen more of that kind of reflection -- balanced by responses from opponents. At the end of her post, Brachear ask for reader response -- but doesn't give her readers nearly enough to work with. As a blogger, does she have to? What do you think?

As we come to the end of National Blood Clot Awareness Month, we wanted to provide one more reminder to wear compression in order to avoid developing Deep Vein Thrombosis. Prevention is the key: wear compression stockings or compression socks when traveling on airplanes or driving on road trips to aid in the prevention of blood clots!
It is very important to understand that Deep Vein Thrombosis is a very serious condition that dramatically affects a large portion of the population within the United States. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), blood clots are responsible for 60,000 deaths annually within the United States, and 25% of those deaths were not aware that they even had a blood clot. Protect yourself and take precautionary action to prevent blood clots from forming by wearing compression socks or stockings.
Are you confused about Deep Vein Thrombosis and how it forms in your body? Click on the link below to learn more about it through a video diagram that walks you through the process: How DVT Forms.

In my last blog post I shared my new years resolution for 2016, which is to get more love into the workplace. This is part one of my approach.
I'm posting this from a snowy Colorado mountain on Martin Luther King Day; which seems very apt as MLK once said, "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
MLK was a truly authentic leader who spoke out for what he believed in and empowered people to think and act in a different way.
It's been a tricky start to 2016. With industrial action from junior doctors and the continued struggle with waiting times and financials; it's starting to feel as though the old methods just aren't working for us anymore and a new approach is needed.
It seems to me what is needed is a new leadership approach that moves away from traditional pace-setting, command and control styles that have dominated the NHS for at least the past decade, to a more authentic leadership style – MLK style. One that supports staff with the right tools and techniques to make the changes needed on a day-to-day basis, without the bureaucracy of committees that are – in some cases – far removed from the frontline.
The NHS has a good track record of supporting staff with training in tools and techniques, but what has always been lacking is a systematic way of improving the services and solving problems as they happen. Many healthcare organisations have trained up hundreds of their staff in various quality improvement techniques, though few have managed to leverage the benefits. What has been missing is the infrastructure and governance that allows decisions to be taken quickly, at the frontline, at the time it's needed.
In the past, managers such as myself were trained to be 'heroic leaders;' i.e. it was their job to solve the problems (otherwise what are they doing?); however the time for this has now passed – if it ever really was the right approach – and it's time to really think differently about how we support our staff.
In my view, there are three steps that leaders could take to become more authentic and to enable more effective decisions to be taken as close to the patients as possible:
Step One admit you don't know all the answers and place the decision making in the hands of those who do; especially those at the frontline. That is a very big ask in this world of accountability and takes bravery; however it has been proven to yield effective results in healthcare systems elsewhere in the world.
Step Two give the staff the tools and techniques to make the necessary change. Supporting clinical staff by training them in quality improvement techniques; using data effectively and understanding how to manage change has the potential to make more of a difference in two months than a year's worth of committee meetings.
Step Three take the governance to them. Don't expect clinicians to navigate the intricacies of the corporate governance that many of us spend our days steeped in. Work with intention and develop a systematic approach that allows decisions to be taken quickly and easily. If needed, schemes of delegation can be drawn up to keep everyone safe. Knowing that the intention behind the decision is to 'make things better' for patients and staff whilst supporting clinicians to understand the constraints will unleash their creativity. As the saying goes 'innovation loves constraint'. A really successful example of this is the Virginia Mason test: 'What can you do with half the money, half the staff, half the space?' This has supported them to radically change how they deliver healthcare at the same time as increasing quality and reducing cost – the holy grail.
In my view, these three steps will go a long way to bring about a more authentic leadership approach which will lead to a better engaged and enabled workforce and overall more love and wellbeing into the workplace. The question is, can we do it quickly enough to make the difference? In reality, do we have a choice?
I'll leave you with the words of Mark Twain; "There isn't time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that."

Set in a hostel in the 1980s, 'Digital Physics' follows Khatchig, a man searching for truth in mathematics, physics, logic, and life. As Khatchig monopolizes the sole computer in the hostel to make sense of a counter-intuitive result, he has an epiphany: We may be living in a computer simulation.
Khatchig sets out to find the program that will be the code for our universe and the Nobel laureate that will vindicate his work. As his theories take him deeper into a questionable mental state, Khatchig must deal with the derision from those around him, unrequited love, and his own self-destructive nature.
The concepts explored in 'Digital Physics' are based on the works of Gottfried Leibniz, Alan Turing, Stephen Wolfram, Gregory Chaitin, Albert Einstein, Ed Fredkin, Kurt Gödel and many other mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and philosophers.

Welcome to my first blog post of 2015, which looks at the brand new TV shows coming our way in the midseason/summer period of television. The shows below are all listed in order of when they will air.
Marvel's Agent Carter (ABC, Jan 9)
Well it comes as no surprise to anyone to see this show make my list. Hayley Atwell has been amazing in her appearances in the MCU so far, and a period drama set after the disappearance of Captain America and focusing on the formation of SHIELD should be very good indeed. Agent Carter also features the return of Dominic Cooper (Howard Stark), as well as a role for Lyndsy Fonseca, who we saw as Alex in the CW's fantastic Nikita. So this should be very good indeed, and will fill the gap whilst Agents of SHIELD is off the air.
12 Monkeys (SyFy, Jan 16)
I haven't actually seen Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys – which is a cult classic starring Bruce Willis, but I'm willing to give 12 Monkeys a shot for sure as the premise sounds interesting enough. Yes, SyFy hasn't produced a 'great' show since the Battlestar Galactica reboot, but hopefully this time-travelling series featuring several cast members from Nikita should be very interesting indeed.
Better Call Saul (AMC, Feb 8)
I'm still behind on what everyone views as the greatest TV show ever made, Breaking Bad, and am about to plunge into the second season, but given how awesome that series has been so far there's no way I'm going to miss Better Call Saul. It looks great, and AMC have rarely disappointed me with their new shows as of late so this show should hopefully deliver.
Allegiance (NBC, Feb 5)
Okay, Allegiance is basically NBC's version of FX's brilliant The Americans, but still, I'm a sucker for some espionage drama so I'm certainly checking this show out. A decorated American war hero who now works for the CIA doesn't know that his parents are in fact, Russian sleeper agents, who have been given a task to convert him. This stars Kenneth Choi, Scott Cohen and Hope Davis.
Battle Creek (CBS, March 1)
From the creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan, this show was actually created before the mega-hit series aired on TV. However, Battle Creek promises to be different, and hopefully just as interesting, looking readymade for CBS with two Detectives who have different views on the world teaming up to fight crime, cleaning up the streets of Battle Creek. This stars Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters.
The Last Man on Earth (Fox, March 1)
The Last Man on Earth looks set to be finally getting a premiere date on March 1 as we saw this show's trailer look potentially interesting. Phil Miller (Will Forte) finds himself as the titular last man on Earth in this 30 minute comedy series. Hopefully it can be as good as Fox's previous comedy shows that have launched early on in the year – Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Enlisted, and it'll be interesting to see whether this show can entertain or not.
Bloodline (Netflix, March TBD)
Netflix have been knocking it out of the park lately with their original releases – House of Cards and Orange is the New Black have been excellent and it's not the only show from the streaming service that makes this list. Even though Marco Polo wasn't quite as good as the other two, it was still pretty decent television, and Bloodline should hopefully be pretty good as well. It's a dramatic thriller that explores the demons lurking beneath the surface of a normal urban family, with Kyle Chandler, Ben Mendelsohn and Linda Cardellini.
Odyssey (NBC, April 5)
If Allegiance is NBC's attempt at creating their version of The Americans, Odyssey is their attempt at creating their version of Homeland. From writer-director Peter Horton (Grey's Anatomy), Odyssey follows three characters – a female Special Forces soldier Sergeant Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel), a US Attorney turned corporate litigator Peter Decker (Peter Facinelli) and a political activist named Harrison Walters (Jake Robinson) as they find themselves pulled into a global conspiracy. It should be pretty good, and I'm certainly on board for episode number one.
Wayward Pines (FOX, May 4)
This upcoming series from FOX airs in the summer and looks pretty interesting indeed. Based on the novel Pines by Blake Crouch, this book sees a US Secret Service Agent (Matt Dillion) investigate the disappearance of two federal agents in a mysterious small Idaho Town. It's been described as a Twin Peaks-style series and should be pretty interesting indeed, and with the release date being a few months away, it should give me plenty of time to read the book.
Daredevil (Netflix, TBD)
My favourite Marvel superhero is getting a new series from Netflix and there was no way I was going to miss this one. The blind crime-fighter Matt Murdock takes centre stage in something that should hopefully be a lot better than the Ben Affleck Movie. Look out for Charlie Cox in the lead role as the Man Without Fear.
I, Zombie (CW, TBD)
The CW have been on top form lately with stuff like Arrow, The Flash, The Originals and The 100 and I cannot wait for their new Vertigo Comics inspired drama, I, Zombie. Starring Rose McIver in the lead role as a zombie alongside the likes of Malcolm Goodwin, David Anders and Robert Buckley, this show sees Liv, McIver's character, work at the coroner's office in an attempt to survive – where she can use memories from the deceased's brains to help solve homicide mysteries.
Powers (Playstation, TBD)
Based on the Brian Michael Bendis comic from Marvel's imprint Icon, Powers looks pretty interesting as Playstation attempt to rival Netflix in the digital television industry. Part gritty cop drama, part superhero show, Powers stars Sharlto Copley, Susan Heyward, Michelle Forbes and more in what should be pretty interesting indeed.
Westworld (HBO, TBD)
I've saved my most anticipated show for last, even if I did list them mostly in order of dates when they're being released. The last time JJ Abrams and Jonathan Nolan combined to make a show they gave us Person Of Interest, which is probably my favourite series on television right now. So let's hope that Westworld can do the same, and although not much is known about this science fiction drama, it should be pretty interesting indeed.
So there we have it. 13 awesome looking shows that should really make 2015 another stellar year for television, especially when you have all the returning shows like The Americans, Orphan Black, Parks & Rec, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Vikings, Justified and more to look forward to as well. It should be one hell of a year.
What shows are you looking forward to watching in 2015? Let me know in the comments below and feel free to remind me of any that I may have missed out on!

Is it Worth making a PPI Claim?
There has been a lot of talk about PPI claims but some people who know that they have been missold PPI do not bother to make a claim. This could be because they think it will be a lot of hard work, be stressful or that they will not get very much money back. However, it can be worth looking into things more.
There is no reason for things to get stressful. You have nothing to lose by making a claim. It is worth going in with the attitude that you may not win and then you will not be disappointed if you do not get anything but the chances are that if you have been missold PPI then you will be able to get back the money that you paid. It might not amount to lots but that will depend on how long you have been paying it for. Imagine PPI on a mortgage over 25 years could really add up, even if the monthly payments were small. It is worth claiming even small amount of money though. You should not have been paying the money out and so you are entitled to get it back. Even a small amount of money can buy you some extra things and it could be more than you thought.
Probably the main thing that puts people off making a compensation claim is the hassle. They think that the form filling and things like that will be difficult. It can actually be surprisingly easy. You just need to make sure that you go about it in the right way. You will find that if you search online, you can find all the relevant forms or letter templates that you need and so it is not difficult at all to make a start. If you really are completely against filling out forms, then you can ask a company to do it for you.
They will charge you for doing it, but you should hopefully get enough money back to be able to pay them to. There are a lot of companies out there offering this service and so you should be able to compare them and choose the one that you think would suit you the best.
So although it seems like there are quite a few disadvantages to making a PPI claim, there are a lot of good reasons for doing so as well. It is good to get back what is rightfully yours and with money tight for most people at the moment, this could really help.

You have to keep in mind that you are always limited by the power of the CPU. A faster machine means that you will be able to capture larger displays and encode into a more compressed format. Capturing a webcam at 320x240 is actually quite easy to do. Capturing your whole desktop is another thing. The video format is also putting a lot of stress on the CPU as you need to encode the video source (and audio) in realtime.
Assuming that the capture is done at 30 fps, you will have less than 33 milliseconds to capture one frame, apply any video effect on the image and encode it into the video stream. I'm telling you, 33 milliseconds is really not a long time to do all this work. For each frame, WebcamStudio has to:
- Capture a single frame from all videos sources (Screen, webcam, image, etc...)
- Apply effects on each frame
- Merge all capture frames into a single frame by compositing each image one over the other in the proper order
- Push the final output frame image to the encoder buffer
- Encode the image frames from the buffer into the video file.
- Synchronize captured audio with the video stream in the video file.
The same goes on with audio in WebcamStudio. Frankly, a lot is happening in a 33 milliseconds timespan.
ScreenStudio has a simpler approach. It relies on FFMPEG or AVCONV to execute the desktop capture into a video stream. Where WebcamStudio is doing all the job, ScreenStudio is relying on FFMPEG/AVCONV to do that job.
The biggest issue when capturing audio and video is synchronizing them. Look around the web, the issue of unsynchronized audio and video is everywhere. Why is it so hard to do?
At the low level, when you capture a single image frame from a video source or a single audio frame from an audio source, a timestamp is set to the frame. This timestamp (PTS: Presentation TimeStamp) is used to tell the encoder when to use this frame in the final video stream. The software executing the capture will rely on the driver used to set the proper timestamp on each frame. Sadly, each driver (video or audio) will provide two kinds of value:
- Zero based: The first captured frame is 0, the second is 1, and so on...
- Time based: Each captured frame is using the current clock time.
When using multiple capture sources (audio and video), it becomes harder to synchronize them is they are using different timestamp values. So you might think that we just need to use a conversion to set every input stream to the same type of PTS... Wrong! Technically is would work in an ideal world but its not.
For example, when capturing images from a webcam, you are totally dependant on the webcam driver. The first image provided by the driver can have the right timestamp if it's based on the clock time but by converting this timestamp to a Zero Based, you are loosing the exact time of that frame. There is no way to know if the first image was captured by the webcam as of now, a few milliseconds ago or a whole second ago. This is due to the fact that the driver is buffering a few frames before making them available to the capturing software.
Have you noticed that when displaying your webcam with any software (Cheese, PhotoBooth, etc...), there is a slight delay before seeing the first image? In some case, you can even see a really small delay between what you are doing and what is actually displayed on your computer screen. Just showing the webcam on the computer screen does not required a lot of processing power. Capture the image and paint it on the screen. Easy, right?
Just do this simple test: Display your webcam on your screen, and count to 5 with your voice and fingers at the same time. You will see a small delay between what you hear from your voice and what is displayed on your computer screen. The difference for this live capture is always around 100 milliseconds. It's not really big and it's almost unnoticeable but it can be a real pain when developing a software that will capture your computer screen, you webcam, the microphone in realtime.
To achieve a perfect synchronization when doing a realtime audio and video capture, many technics can be used. And frankly, sometimes, it's almost impossible to do...
Hope you enjoyed!

Yesterday we went to pick blueberries with our amazing homeschool tribe.
I have never been around kinder, more gentle people in my life. Everyone should have a tribe. People they do life with. People with like-minded ways of living, along with the gentle balance of respect for each others differences. I love how they are so quick to carry some one else's babe through the creek, the older kids gently guide the younger ones, grace is had for all typical sibling spats, etc.
My favorite part of yesterday was when the kids were splashing and sliding down the waterfalls, the moms and dads sat around the rocks, like mermaids perched, and spoke of life, family, beliefs, and history. Beautiful.
Every family needs a Tribe.
Here are the pictures from the day:
Adi and Fia feeding each other berries.
Creek Hopping.
This is where the sweet farmer has hung his worn out shoes since the 50's.
Now it's time for some much anticipated blueberry crisp!
Happy 4th of July!
