Carpet Cleaning
The concern with most do-it-yourself carpet cleanings the place clean you're really getting the carpet. Without specialized carpet cleaners equipment and products, homeowners simply aren't able to remove the grime trapped for their carpeting-and if you can't get it all the way clean, what's the factor! Professional carpet cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction to thoroughly cleanse your carpets. With acquire pressurized hot water, eco-friendly cleaning agents, and rapid extraction, these machines can eliminate practically all from the contaminants embedded in a whole lot worse. Your carpet cleaners can even use a stain protection treatment a carpets pristine longer.
And, because the drinking water extraction system applies the cleansers and then quickly extracts them out, your carpet is left neat and only a little damp. This is crucial because over saturating flooring could be damaged dramatically increases drying time; if your carpet stays wet too long could begin to mold and mildew, creating new health worries! While amateur carpet cleaning jobs get days to dry, a professionally cleaned carpet is usually dry in under 12 hours. Speed-drying processes can also be used if it's critical that your carpet dry extra fast!
The other advantage to using professional carpet cleaners is that have got the skills and data to remove even tough stains.

Rug Cleaning
When it comes to rug cleaning, the stakes are even higher. Although area and oriental rugs are a beautiful addition to any home, they are particularly difficult to clean-and vulnerable to considerable damage if not cleaned properly. The 1st issue is numerous area rugs, even high-end Persian rugs, are not colorfast. That means that they are vulnerable to color transfer, dye migration, and fading. A carpet cleaning professional can effectively combat concerns can of course by using specialized cleaning techniques the particular thickness average home owner won't even know there is a difficulty until it's in its final stages! Rug cleaning can also produce shrinkage as many area rugs are made from wool. Again, your carpet cleaner will be able to take steps to prevent concern. He'll also be able to launder your rug's delicate fringe without causing knotting or matting.
The other issue at stake truth that area rugs typically will house some other form of flooring underneath (carpeting, tile, hardwood) and in case the rug remains in place to be able to cleaned the underlying flooring will be damaged. Just image a damp rug laying on your hardwood flooring and last and last! Most professional rug cleaning services do their rug cleaning off-site in order to protect your floors.

Combining classic turntable design with modern audio technologies, the Marantz TT42 Turntable plays back your vinyl collection with stunning audio quality. This turntable features a fully automatic mechanism that plays records with a touch of a button. A low-coloration tone arm, DC servo motor, and belt drive ensure pristine, interference-free playback.
Vinyl Record Playing with Modern Convenience
Have you noticed the resurgence of vinyl record sales in recent years? Fueled by the fact that many treasured albums have not been issued in digital format, and with newer artists continuing to release music on vinyl, turntables are popping up in living rooms all over the world.
The Marantz TT42 Turntable combines old school record playing with convenient, high-performance features. The turntable is fully automatic: with a push of the "play" button, the tone arm precisely lifts itself onto the record groove, saving you the trouble of having to manually position the stylus. Once playback has concluded, the tone arm safely returns to its resting position without scuffing your record.
A Quality Mechanism for High-Fidelity Playback
The TT42 turntable is outfitted with a low-coloration tone arm that resists resonance for a clear, balanced sound. A high quality, moving magnet cartridge is preset at the factory for proper tracking and smooth response. In addition, the turntable's DC servo belt drive keeps the motor running at a constant speed for optimum performance. The TT42 is designed to produce a stunning, nuanced, and distortion-free audio performance.
A version of the TT42 with a phono preamp, the TT42P, which features built-in phono input circuitry, is also available to accommodate multi-channel receivers that lack a proper phono input.
The Marantz TT42 Turntable comes complete with a clear plastic dust cover and is backed by a three-year limited warranty, subject to the full warranty terms and conditions.
Package Contents
TT42 turntable, plastic dust cover, and user's manual.
A recent reviewer said, "Wow what a difference 25 years have been. I have owned a fairly large record collection for many years, but have not listed to it because my turntable had died. The Marantz TT 42 is everything I had expected it to be. The turntable runs smoothly and practically without any noise and there is no vibration and it looks great too. The stylist is of extremely high quality. Due to the high quality of the TT 42, I will need to replace my CD player since its playback quality is far superior to my run of the mill CD play. I would recommend this turntable to someone who is an avid record collector as well as one who is just starting experimenting with records"

Some people achieve the status of expert through degrees, licenses, prestigious job appointments or awards. A few people without those advantages have the mantle of expertise thrust on them without their going after it, through word of mouth and a reputation among a close-knit circle of customers. However, most people without conventional professional credentials need to anoint themselves as experts, and this effort may or may not succeed.
Earn the respect of your target market and take the uncertainty out of the process of becoming viewed as an expert by using as many of the following nine self-made credibility factors as you can.
1. Media coverage. When a large metropolitan newspaper or a well-known magazine writes positively about you, acclaims you as a trailblazer or even simply quotes your opinion, you acquire the beginnings of a public halo that adds a golden sheen to whatever you are doing. It's much easier to orchestrate this than most people assume. Pick up a copy of a book on publicity, such as my own 6 Steps to Free Publicity, and implement the recommended tactics. When you do achieve media coverage, be sure to quote it prominently on your web site and elsewhere.
2. Carefully documented research. Your research can consist of surveys, observations, experiments or in-the-field tests. A couple of scuba divers with no scientific credentials who fell in love with giant sea turtles during their annual trips to Maui became regarded as experts on the honu (the Hawaiian name for this lovable sea creature) by keeping diligent written and photographic records of more than 750 individual sea turtles they encountered during their dives. When they attended a marine biology conference, they discovered they had learned more about honu habits than nearly all of the university-affiliated researchers there.
3. Collaborations with recognized, respected organizations. A British man without any medical qualifications cured himself of a serious psychological ailment and built up a business teaching his therapy method to others like him. One factor that elevated his reputation far above the level of a "quack" was the fact that England's National Health Service sent their most intractable cases to him for treatment. Having any sort of official relationship with a government entity or prominent company, from supplying Microsoft or the Pentagon to being on call for your community ambulance service, boosts credibility.
4. A hype-free, professional tone. To earn respectability without credentials, you have to stay away from the kind of over-excited marketing pitch that's characteristic of late-night infomercials. Go easy on exclamation points, exaggerated claims or promises, long stretches of capital letters, ungrounded superlatives and "buy now or else" demands. Fairly or unfairly, most people regard such sales techniques as unworthy of legitimate experts.
5. Publications. A hardcover book from an established publisher gives you the most credibility credits, with a paperback book from anyone other than a company you own clocking a close second. Not helping you much at all would be a self-published book that came out only in eBook format or a paperback that looked amateurly produced. Articles by you in journals, magazines or online publications that prospective customers respect count significantly as well.
6. Endorsements from individuals with reputations. A Baltimore-based alternative healer presented herself as a pioneer in a certain type of medical hypnosis. What she needed most to cement her expert reputation was quotes from people connected with the internationally well-known medical school in her city – Johns Hopkins. She and I brainstormed a list of seven different ways she could make her work known to health-care professionals with the right prestigious affiliations for possible testimonials or endorsements.
7. A well-reasoned, consistent and distinctive point of view. True experts rarely have same-old, boring opinions. Therefore it's easier to be perceived as an expert when you have a website, blog, newsletter or advertising campaign that takes some kind of stand and backs up the position with facts and arguments. Don't be bland or generic. If other experts begin to disagree with you respectfully, you are definitely on the right track.
8. Impressive, objective track record. If you're a pest control company with a 96 percent success rate in getting rid of bedbugs without harsh or harmful chemicals, you can certainly claim expertise in organic or natural pest control. Precise numbers are key in this arena. Your relevant achievement might be anything from owning a collection of 457 Barbie dolls dating back to 1959, having coached three successful American Idol contestants or having homeschooled 11 children, including four with special needs.
9. Elimination of typos, errors and outdated information. Even people who are not highly educated or personally fussy take note and hold back their trust when supposed experts display sloppiness or get things wrong that they should know. According to the Stanford University Persuasive Technology Lab, "Typographical errors have roughly the same negative impact on a web site's credibility as a company's legal or financial troubles." The same goes for would-be experts.
Some of the above strategies require long-term effort. Even so, the payoff for perceived expertise in additional sales, more referrals and higher fees is huge. From conversations I've had with self-made experts who have implemented these tips, the effort is definitely worth it.

Let's talk about spit
Spit grosses me out. Thankfully, I am not a spitter — not now nor as a softball player. I didn't like it when the Catholic schoolboys made spitballs nor do I like it in public when someone "hocks a loogie." (I am gagging while envisioning this spitting image.)
So the age-old question from us spit-haters is why? Why do baseball players have to spit?
Basketball players don't spit. Football players might spit some, but they have to lie on the turf after they're tackled, so they might be more careful about where they put their saliva. Ice hockey players don't spit (they might but it freezes) and I don't notice pro golfers spitting on the links.
Camels and alpacas spit. So do cobras. Babies spit up. But baseball players are none of those (well, some might argue …)
"Spit" is an appropriate word for a vulgar action and an absolute nasty habit. Maybe we could start an acronym for SPIT … Saliva Put In Turf.
Socially, spitting is one of the rudest and most disrespectful things you can do to another human and is considered a taboo in many parts of the world.
Ken says it's out of nervous energy that baseball players spit. Some are spitting not saliva, but tobacco juice and sunflower seeds. Although he says he does, I have never seen Ken spit, though he must have plenty as a ballplayer.
By the way, Ken prefers the word expectorate.
Call it what you will sweetie – spittle, saliva, spit – I have to agree with John Payne from Simsbury, Connecticut, who wrote Ken a four-page letter about spitting. Yes, FOUR pages – on pretty blue stationary. His opinion was quite entertaining.
"There is too much spitting by all the players on all the teams," wrote Mr. Payne. (He was quite serious about the topic, too; he typed the letter in ALL CAPS.)
"I wonder if these players spit on the floor at home or in restaurants," wrote Mr. Payne. "Do they do all this spitting when they go out with their wives or girlfriends?"
He thinks the Yankees superstars are the ones who spit the most. So I ran into the TV room to see for myself and to get Ken's spit input as he watched the Yankees/A's game. He suggested I count the number of times the players spit in an inning. Three spits later, I was out of there.
I couldn't watch it any more than Mr. Payne, who said he is so offended by the ongoing spitting that he makes sure to eat dinner before he watches a baseball game on TV. It is hard for him to finish his meal while observing "this nasty, unsightly, unsanitary and unhealthy practice."
He would like Ken and the other announcers to discuss this spitting problem with the camera people so they don't show any spitting on air.
Ken said that's a bit tricky. How are they supposed to know when someone is ready to spit? True.
There's only one other solution then, according to Mr. Payne. He would like to request of the baseball commissioner, Bud Selig, to make a ruling against spitting during games. "Make an agreement … to help solve this disgusting practice."
I'm with you on that one, Mr. Payne. Maybe this is the reason it's so challenging for me to sit through nine innings. Can I blame it on the spitting?
Mr. Payne wrote that he has seen "players spit on their hands, rub the baseball, rub dirt on their hands, then put their hand back in their mouth. This cannot be very sanitary or healthy. My relatives, my friends and I … would love to be able to eat and enjoy our meal while we watch the Yankees on YES."
I'm guessing Mr. Payne would be very upset if spitballs were still legal.

Great article Mrs. Singy. I don't know about baseball players, but when I'm nervous my mouth gets dry. I would want to conserve all the moisture within that I could!
I think spitting starts out when players are young, imitating their heroes. By the time they reach the big time and are on TV, it is just a plain habit that is tough for them to break, like fingernail biting or lip chewing. A little self-discipline would overcome this habit. Maybe some famous therapist will start a "spit-quit" clinic and travel to each clubhouse, rehabbing habitual expectorators.
Hi Mrs Singy,
First time I've responded to any blog, but I enjoy yours as much as I enjoy Ken's commentary on YES and your feelings re spitting are totally in line with mine.
I've been watching the Yankees play baseball since '52 on WPIX and I'm sure Mickey Mantle spit, but I never remember the disgusting act being as overdone as it is now. Of course, we didn't have the close-up cameras they do today.
I, too, have wondered what they do at home. Have you noticed that they don't spit as much when they chew gum as when they have those awful sunflower seeds. Why eat something you have to shell to taste?
Anyway, keep your blogs coming. I just discovered them and please tell Ken he's the best partner Michael has.
I agree that this is a GREAT article. I also enjoy Mrs. Singy's blog, as well as her husband's banter with Michael Kay on YES. I too have noticed the spitting recently and think it may be occuring more frequently than it has in the past. Cannot quite figure out why, but it certainly detracts from my otherwise positive opinion of the Yankee players. I even asked my husband the other day to explain why the players spit and his answer – "that's just the way it's done." Great point also made about what the players do at home. Somehow I doubt that this nasty habit is carried over off the field and is tolerated by one's wife, girlfiend or Mother.

In Marxist critique, the relationship between capitalism and the culture/underlying societal myth is known as the SUPERSTRUCTURE. In other words, organized religion is part of that which sustains the social order and keeps people in their place because people derive meaning and identity and understand their place in their universe through religious language so it is impossible, say, for peasants in feudal time to imagine things being any other way IF THEY ARE UNDER THE HYPNOSIS OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE and prevailing societal myth ... and likewise it's impossible for today's American wage slaves to imagine things being any other way or for women to emancipate themselves if they are under the hypnosis of the Bible's story in Genesis where Jehovah cursed man in early days to be a wage-slave and woman to be a slave of man forever by saying in Genesis 3:
16To the woman he said,
"I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
17To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken;
A new mythos and superstructure would have to be invented. (There are secular superstructure cultural myths, such as the mythos of 'manifest destiny', or of 'progress'...)
Spanish classical philosopher Seneca echoed Marx when he said that religion was false to the wise, true to the ignorant and USEFUL to the powerful.
Capitalism will do just fine without religion, because the basis of capitalism is appeal to individual self-interest. The greater danger is that the self-interest of the clever/powerful/lucky will so overwhelm the system that a new mythology will arise to indoctrinate the proles. The result will be a slanted, perverted capitalism similar to feudalism - which perhaps is where modern America is headed. In such a system, the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of a few is lauded as morally preferable.
Capitalism is neutral regarding distribution of wealth. It is neither necessary for wealth to become concentrated amongst the "capitalists" to the complete chagrin of labor, nor is it necessary that every worker receive a decent wage, lest competitive pressures drive wages and prices back into equilibrium. Any one of a broad range of outcomes - some deeply appealing as fair, others execrably odious - are possible under capitalism.
Doctrine and myth are excellent tools to convince people to willingly act against their own self-interest. I would opine that if one doctrine - religion - somehow goes away, then it will be supplanted by another doctrine, such that the status quo is barely disturbed. But even if this fails to happen, and somehow magically the proles would be able to exercise material choices in accordance with their self-interest, the result won't be the supplanting of capitalism by something better (or worse), but merely a slight tilting of capitalism into a tangential direction.
scccreeeeeeetch... what did this man just say?
He also used his podcast to introduce a family and gender policy concept. Haase wants marriage and registered life partnership to be legally equal and to eliminate the tax advantages in Germany that are bestowed exclusively on heterosexual marriages. He also wants the government to stop documenting the gender of its citizens.
Capitalism is a religion. Its god is called profit. It creates its own morality which we know as greed. It has its own fortune tellers which people call economists. It has its saints and sinners which people call rich and poor. It has its own mega-churches which people call corporations. Its followers will ignore science in the name of capitalism's god.
It is not an economic system. Its not a cultural system. Its a religion which even corrupts other religions in the name of its god.
Time to start treating it like what it is ... a religion.
Yeah, scary isn't it. It even has its own mythical figures such as John Galt and the Self-Made Man.
The really scary part is that its based on a fictional version of reality which has no real bearing on actual reality. Property rights are a purely human concept which the universe does not recognize. In fact, the universe will remove those rights by destroying your property.
Capitalism also has a mythological enemy which they call Collectivism even though they rely on its existence to support their own. The group is their mortal enemy and they have a rabid response to the existence of that enemy unless they have need of it. They rely on the collective of the government to create and maintain the environment where they can flourish. The group is bad unless it provides some form of support such as the military to serve and protect their interest. They even have a form of capitalist formed socialism called insurance which everyone pays into and those who need it get a payout.
"The really scary part is that its based on a fictional version of reality which has no real bearing on actual reality. Property rights are a purely human concept which the universe does not recognize. In fact, the universe will remove those rights by destroying your property."
There's also the problem of selective failure-blindness in regards to how "successful" free-market capitalism is without any consideration of society and its "greater good". Instead they use the nebulous metric of wealth generation, without regards to the fact that most of the wealth referred to is a fictional construct.
"Capitalism also has a mythological enemy which they call Collectivism even though they rely on its existence to support their own."
Absolutely. The authoritarian/fascist capitalists and libertarian/anarcho-capitalists, both.
"[Modern capitalism] is masterful at producing services people don't need and in large part probably don't want. It is brilliant at convincing people that they do need and want them. But it has difficulty turning itself to the production of those services which people really do need. Not only that, it often spends an enormous amount of time and effort convincing people that those services are either unrealistic, marginal or counterproductive."
~ John Ralston-Saul
I think you're confusing the line between cultural myths and actual beliefs. Yes, the "Altar of Money" has been a popular mythology for both criticizing and glorifying the US finance sector as it has grown significantly in power during the process of globalization. This myth seems to stem from the noblesse oblige of aristocratic wealth, or at least the desire to obtain such status, but the reality tends to be more of a Robber Barons scenario.
However, none of the involved parties actually hold such myths as honest beliefs. They're simply theater meant to buy support and ward off opponents.
I will second that. In fact one could argue that it is only when religion loosed its grip on the European populations generally (to an extent) during the renaissance that capitalism emerged from what previously was feudalism. Capitalism (free trade) is inhibited by religion, in spite of what the religionists say.

Regular cervical screening is your best protection against cervical cancer. Four out of five women who develop cervical cancer in Australia have either never screened or do not screen regularly.
In Australia, all women aged 25 to 74 years who have ever been sexually active should have a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years. Being screened regularly means that the human papillomavirus (HPV) and any changes it may cause to the cells of the cervix can be found early. These cell changes can then be monitored and, if needed, treated to prevent cervical cancer.

The first session of racing at the New England 24 Hours Of LeMons is done, and we've got a Top 10 composed almost entirely of Civics, Alfa Milanos, and Volvo bricks!
Is it possible that an Italian car might win the 24 Hours Of LeMons? Hell yes! An Alfetta nearly won the Goin' For Broken LeMons in Reno a couple months back, and the three Alfas currently running in second, third, and fifth places finished third, fifth, and sixth, respectively, in the 2008 New England LeMons.
How about a Volvo winning the race? It's never happened before, though we've seen quite a few Swedes in quasi-serious contention in the past. But the Swedes and Italians will need to get past the Kielbasa Kids' early-90s Civic sedan- you may recall that the Kielbasas finished second at the last New England race- and that looks to be quite a challenge. Here's the standings list at the end of Day One:
1. Kielbasa Kids, Honda Civic
2. Scuderia Limoni, Alfa Romeo Milano
3. Scuderia Testa di Spillo, Alfa Romeo Milano
4. Vermont Cow Tippers, Volvo 240 wagon
5. Team Pro-Crash-Duh-Nation, Alfa Romeo Milano
6. Team Submarine, Honda Civic
7. Keystone Kops, Volvo 240 sedan
8. The Crazy Swiss & Crazy Chic, Nissan 240SX
9. Rhinoceros Racing Team, Honda Civic
10. Police Brutality, Lincoln Continental Mark VIII
Meanwhile, the Index Of Effluency contenders appear to have been narrowed down to a mere two cars: UDMan's Team Trailing Throttle Oversteer '63 Chevy Corvair, which finished the day in 22nd place, versus the Adopted From Jets '71 Saab 99, 36th place.
Of the other contenders, the '74 Monaco tragically became a Ford Escort by race day, the Chard Beef Buick Regal (last year's New England IOE winner, pictured above) has suffered from a universe of mechanical woes (40th place), and the Safari Taxi Co. Peugeot 504 and Craptation Chevy Citation X-11 are out of it for the weekend (nuked engine for the Citation, massive systemic failure of all components- except, apparently, the ashtray- on the Peugeot). We've got BZR shooting photos for us, so check in later for a gallery of some sort.

Protect and Color the Way Nature Intended
Conventional sunscreens were created to do one thing and one thing only, protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Overtime, extended use of conventional sunscreens formulated with harsh chemicals may have an entirely different effect not only on your skin but also on natural plant and aquatic life living in our oceans, rivers and lakes. On the contrary, sunscreens formulated with entirely natural, chemical-free substances utilizing mineral-based ingredients are completely safe for the environment as well as gentle on skin. One particular organism being affected is our coral reefs, which are among the most biologically productive ecosystems in the world. Scientists have reported that chemical-based sunscreens may be accountable for dying coral reefs. It has been reported that four widely used sunscreen ingredients activate viruses that kill the algae that feed off the coral.
The four chemicals in question:
• Oxybenzone Benzophenone-3
• Octinoxate (Octyl methoxycinnamate)
• 4-Methyl-Benzylidencamphor (4-MBC)
• Butylparaben (used to preserve the sunscreen product)
According to the scientists up to 6,000 tons of sunscreen wash off swimmers every year.
Marine Scientists link sunscreen to coral bleaching. Coral is an aquatic, stone-like structure that has cracks and crevices inhabited by colorful symbiotic organisms called zooxanthanellae (an algae). Bleaching, generated by changing ocean temperatures, pollution, and bacterial pathogens, is the process in which hard coral loses its desirable tenants, leaving behind bare, white rock; without the algae, the coral turns white and dies.
To stop the destruction of our precious coral reefs, scientists are recommending that sunscreen users choose a sunscreen with safe-chemical-free ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as active ingredients. They also recommend choosing a biodegradable sunscreen that easily breaks down in seawater without causing harm to our ecosystem.
Natural sunscreens made with biodegradable ingredients decompose naturally and easily with time, as opposed to the long-lasting effects of chemical-based sunscreens.
Lavera sunscreens are a smart alternative to standard sunscreens.
As Europe's best-selling green beauty brand, Lavera developed its unparalleled sunscreens according to Europe's strict regulations and the highest natural standards, bringing U.S. consumers a uniquely safe, effective, and natural sunscreen option.
Lavera's 100% natural sunscreens are also mineral-based, offering myriad advantages over chemical-based alternatives. Mineral sunscreens build a physical protective layer on the skin's surface, providing immediate protection against UVA and UVB rays. Synthetic sunscreens, on the other hand, are absorbed into the skin and body and take 20-30 minutes to shield skin—and typically only from UVB rays. Furthermore, the same artificial ingredients that penetrate the skin have been linked to allergic reactions and hormonal imbalances
Lavera sunscreens are free of harmful synthetics as well as parabens, emulsifiers, petroleum, phthalates, lead, synthetic preservatives and fragrances. Instead, the formulas are blended with biodegradable ingredients for protection that's gentle on the skin, body, and earth.

A leap forward
"By using Fundaments' platform and expertise we have made a leap forward as a company in professionalising our part of the chain.''
Jeroen Mahler
Managing Director of CoBrowser
Excellent flexibility
"Fundaments' excellent flexibility is also an important factor. The viewpoint of making sure something is fixed before talking about the invoice is very helpful to us."
Jeroen Mahler
Managing Director of CoBrowser
Modern smart firewall
"We were looking for a solution that would help defend us against every possible vector attack. We really needed a modern, smart firewall and with the Fundaments Next Generation Redundant Firewall offer, based on Fortinet technology, we have got exactly what we wanted. It was a logical choice for us."
Maarten Huijs
Engineer at Kempen Automatisering
Trusting a partner
"Sometimes specific knowledge is imperative and it isn't always profitable to acquire this in-house. It's great to be able to trust a partner who takes that worry away, who's familiar with the subject and doesn't immediately send an invoice for every little thing. This partner will have an ongoing conversation with you: what is it you need, how can we tackle this and find a solution? That's what Fundaments does."
Richard Hagen of the Rolf group
Multiple physical locations
"If the customer wants to have their data stored in several physical locations in view of DR, this is possible. But whether it's a customised option or well-planned standard options, the customer doesn't have to worry about a thing. That's the beauty of the new ways of BU and DR"
Michel Erkens and Alexander van Bruchem of Onguard
Good solution with less costs
"When you look at the connectivity costs, meaning the private connections, as a part of migrating to the cloud, where you no longer need your own hardware or maintenance, your insurance policy is reduced, the company's energy expenditure goes down and other expenses become smaller, you will see that this is really a good solution."
Jeroen Bruggeman
Enterprise Administrator at CNS-IT
Security is no.1
At Cobrowser they've noticed a huge difference in how companies deal with security. "There are companies who consider this not so important. It's essential to us to find a partner who takes security seriously. That's why we've chosen Fundaments. Security is a very natural element of our collaboration."
Frank Leegstra
Director and security officer of CoBrowser
Time saving and significantly reduced down time
"We can now reduce the actual down time with a migration to minutes instead of hours. This means many advantages for our customers and that's the most important thing. In addition, it saves time for our engineers."
Harm Jan Stam
Technical Supervisor at Oxilion

Claims by tobacco companies that plain packaging will have no effect on smoking are based on "weak evidence" and include studies commissioned by the industry, researchers have said.
Submissions to the Government by Imperial Tobacco, Japan Tobacco International, Philip Morris and British American Tobacco contained poor quality studies that had not appeared in peer-reviewed journals or were commissioned by the tobacco sector, they said.
Experts from the University of Bath and the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies, writing in the journal BMJ Open, found that only 17 of 77 pieces of data submitted to the Government by the industry addressed the impact of standard, plain packs on smoking.
None of the 17 were published in a peer-reviewed journal and 14 of the 17 (82%) were either commissioned by or linked to the tobacco industry.
This link was not stated in most of the company submissions to the Department of Health's public consultation on the issue, the researchers said.
They added that e vidence cited by the tobacco industry was also of significantly lower quality than other available evidence.
Overall, the submissions showed that tobacco firms rejected the conclusions of a systematic review, commissioned by the Department of Health, that there was "strong evidence" that plain packaging would reduce the appeal of tobacco products.
A final evidence review chaired by Sir Cyril Chantler will be published next month.
Professor Anna Gilmore, from the University of Bath, said: "Historically, the tobacco industry manufactured evidence to cast doubts on the health impacts and addictiveness of its products. Now it is manufacturing evidence on the impacts of policies that could threaten its profits.
"By paying for evidence which created doubts about the impact of standardised tobacco packaging, the industry successfully delayed the policy.
"As a result, between July 2013, when the Government put plain packaging on hold, and March 2014, when the Chantler review will be completed, an additional 148,554 children (4,951 classrooms full) will have started smoking."
Alison Cox, Cancer Research UK's head of tobacco policy, said: "Once again, the tobacco industry has played fast and loose with the evidence to put its profits before the nation's health.
"This report proves that we need more transparency about sources of evidence to stop the tobacco industry from using its vast resources to influence policy making.
"During the final evidence review it's critical that the Government sees past the industry's misdirection, and only considers high quality evidence."
A statement from Philip Morris said: " While some activists rely on academic debates about research from two years ago, policy makers should be focused on the results of the real world Australian experiment, where contrary to what Australia claimed when they passed plain packaging, tobacco consumption is essentially unchanged since its introduction, while the black market is booming."

Seattle startup Lockerz lost its founder and CEO — retail and PR vet Kathy Savitt — to an executive role at Yahoo in August.
But that's not slowing the company's enormous appetite for capital. The social shopping service — in which teenagers and twenty-somethings earn points for sharing content or watching videos — has pulled in an additional $7.5 million in funding, according to a SEC filing.
Michael Walton, chief product officer at Lockerz, confirmed that existing investors provided the capital. Backers of Lockerz include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, DAG Ventures, Live Nation, Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei and others, with total funding of about $70 million (prior to the latest cash infusion).
Based in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood, Lockerz now is led by former Amazon and PepsiCo exec Mark Stabingas. He previously served as COO.
Lockerz has been using some of the new cash for acquisitions, including the purchases of Seattle startups Wishpot and Off & Away. Other acquisitions in the past 18 months include video service Vodpod; online fashion community Chick Approved and social sharing startup AddToAny.
Could the latest round of cash possibly signal a new round of deal making?

|Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt.
John Anthony West.
1993. 266P. This revised edition of West's revolutionary reinterpretation of the civilization of Egypt challenges all that has been accepted as dogma concerning this ancient and enigmatic land. It features a new introduction linking Egyptian science with the perennial wisdom tradition and an appendix updating the author's work with Robert Schoch in redating the Sphinx based upon water erosion. This wonderful work is based upon the research and discoveries of the famous Alchemist/Egyptologist, R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, and gives a detailed overview of Schwaller's ideas of the scientific system of the Egyptian Temple. Topics Include: Hieroglyphs carry Hermetic messages that convey the subtler realities of the Sacred Science of the pharaohs. Egyptian science, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy were more sophisticated than most modern Egyptologists acknowledge. Egyptian knowledge of the universe was a legacy from a highly sophisticated civilization that flourished thousands of years before. The Great Sphinx represents geological proof that such a civilization existed. Pythagoras Rides Again. Science & Art in Ancient Egypt. Myth Symbolism, Language, Literature. Heir to Atlantis.

|Voices Of The Rocks: A Scientist Looks At Catastrophes & Ancient Civilizations.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D.
1999. 258p. For ardent readers of current science, little is more appealing than stories of discoveries that change the way people view the world. In this volume, Schoch asserts that he is at the vanguard of a paradigm shift, not in his own field of geology, but rather in anthropology. From his geological analysis of the Sphinx, he draws a conclusion that he admits is controversial: that a technologically advanced civilization rose and faded in Egypt long before the time of the pyramids. Adding speculative science and drawing on myth, he asserts that other similarly advanced civilizations flourished around the world, only to be obliterated by global catastrophes brought on by a century-long rain of asteroid impacts. Similar cosmic storms strike once a millennium, he says, triggering or ending ice ages, causing floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of biblical proportion, precipitating shifts in the earths axis. The 22nd century, Schoch predicts, will be the next era of catastrophe. Our civilization will be especially vulnerable because burning of fossil fuels and other global technological activities may seriously compromise the planets environment.

|Pyramid Quest: Secrets of the Great Pyramid and the Dawn of Civilization.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D
2005. 384p. The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"? In Pyramid Quest, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings.

| Voyages of the Pyramid Builders.
Robert M. Schoch, PH.D
2004. 352p.Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout our globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, such as the ancient Egyptians; early Buddhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, and Aztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; and even the Mississippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream the same dreams and envision the same structures? Robert M. Schoch-one of the world's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of the building of the Great Sphinx-believes otherwise. In this dramatic and meticulously reasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Eastern continent, primarily Southeast Asia, and spread the idea of pyramids across the globe, particularly to the New World of the Americas where they abounded until the days of the Conquistadors.

I haven't added any text instructions, because I think the photos are clear enough. All that's left to do know is make a whole heap of these, in different shapes (but always symmetrical shapes!) and sizes, and stringing them up.
This uses the same binding method used to make childrens board-books…the only difference is that you glue the front and back cover together, as well, and create a book in the round, without and ending or beginning…and that's some pretty heavy symbolism for a pretty paper bead!
Have fun!

The invention of the air conditioner is still shaping the future growth of global metros.
As U.S. cities are experiencing some of the warmest temperatures on record, it's easy to take for granted the ability to feel almost instant relief from oppressive heat with the push of a button or the flip of a switch. Today about 87 percent of U.S. households have an air conditioning unit.
But at the turn of the 20th century, when Willis Carrier of New York invented the first modern electrical air conditioning unit, the goal wasn't to keep homes and offices cool on hot summer days. Rather, the device became popular with industries from textiles to cotton to tobacco. It wasn't until some decades later that human comfort became an important use, especially in the South; first with air-conditioned movie theaters and then in department stores.
It wasn't until the beginning of World War II that homes in southern U.S. cities began using air conditioning units. By 1955, one in every 22 American homes had air conditioning. In the South, that number was about 1 in 10, according to the historian Raymond Arsenault [PDF]. Since this increase in air conditioning use, many of these Southern cities experienced a population boom.
I took a look at the metro areas in the U.S. with more than 1 million people and found which have historically been the hottest, based on the number of cooling degree days per year -- a statistic used to measure how much and how many days the outside temperature in a certain location is above 65 degrees. Using numbers from NOAA, I found that between 1971-2000, six big cities in the South had an average of at least 3,000 cooling degree days. I also compared the 1940 metro population (when available) to the metro population in 2010. From the time just before air conditioning became popular in the South to today, population growth in the region has skyrocketed. This raises the question: would these hot Southern cities be around, at least in their present form, if air conditioning hadn't been invented?
But, of course, there are bigger, hotter cities across the globe. In fact, seven of the largest metros in the world have an average high temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Not surprisingly, all of these cities are found in developing countries. As Michael Sivak, a professor at the University of Michigan notes, only two of the warmest 30 global metros can be found in developed countries. With the middle class growing in warm metros in countries like India, demand for air conditioning is increasing. A recent New York Times article reported that sales of air conditioning units in India and China are growing 20 percent per year and are fast becoming a middle-class status symbol. Last year, 55 percent of new air conditioners were sold in the Asia Pacific region.
Unfortunately, we'll have to take the good (increased comfort) with the bad. That increased demand will also have a major impact on energy use in these global cities. As Sivak's research shows, the potential cooling demand from Mumbai alone is one-quarter of the demand for the entire United States. Increased innovation in more energy efficient air conditioning units might play a role in mitigating energy demand, but as the Times points out, gases from air conditioners "contribute to global warming thousands of times more than does carbon dioxide."
The air conditioner played a role in shaping the Southern metros we see today in the United States, and air conditioned mega cities will eventually shape the climate of the planet.

Kingston USB DataTraveler Review
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Accessories, Product Reviews
Does anyone even use floppy diskettes anymore? These days, thumb-drives are all the rage. Not only do they hold more memory than conventional diskettes, they're much smaller and faster. We take a look at the tiny, but affordable offering from Kingston, their 64-Meg USB DataTraveler.
Two weeks ago, I took the trip down to my local CompUSA to shop for a new LCD display for my PC. My wife and I decided to get an entirely new computer, with the monitor bundled in, as it seemed to make pretty good sense. Imagine my surprise when I took the thing home only to discover that there was no floppy drive on the case. Instead, it offered a total of six USB ports, two of which were on the front of the case. Seemed like it was a good time to start looking into USB thumb-drives.
The DataTraveler is a solid choice for people in my situation. I may not want to have to burn a CD for every bit of data I need to transfer, and emailing also has its limits in terms of how big a file your server allows. True, there are USB drives out there that can store up to 1Gig, but you'll end up paying a lot more for it. The DataTraveler comes at a pretty attractive price: $16 to $25 depending on where you look for it online. It's small and durable, and it simply gets the job done.
Let's talk about what's most likely on your mind at the onset: transfer speed and functionality. The device actually offers 61.3 Megs of space, and it's a solid and reliable amount of storage. When first plugging the unit into the USB port, it takes about a minute for the PC to install the necessary drivers and to recognize the device as removable storage. After that, future recognition is almost instant, maybe a couple of seconds after you plug in.
Transferring a 59 Meg QuickTime movie to the drive took about 1:12 minutes on my work PC; this was even faster at my home desktop: 45 seconds. Copying the movie back to my home PC took about 12 seconds. Keep in mind that this is using the DataTraveler to almost full capacity, so you'll experience much faster speeds for everyday MS Office files. For example, a 24 KB Word document took less than a second to transfer from my PC to the drive. Very nice, indeed.
You'll note that the drive is a little bigger than a key, so it can fit comfortably in just about any pocket, another advantage it has over floppies. It feels very light, so much so that it seems like there's nothing much stored within the gray-silver plastic shell. The drive comes with a little cap to cover the USB plug, which snaps snugly into place. There are also two blue, grip-like surfaces on the sides of the drive, to make taking off the cap a little easier. It's good to know that it won't slip off accidentally, as it provides just the right amount of resistance. You do need to be aware of how you place the cap on, however. You want it so that the USB symbol is facing the side that says "Kingston". The cap still fits the other way around, but I had to squirm like crazy to be able to pull the cap off that way. You've been warned.
It sounds pretty crazy that an accessory would have additional accessories itself, but that's the case here nonetheless. First off, it comes with a small black cord, about an inch in length, that loops into a hole on the unit. This cord - which was a pain to get looped, though a bent staple helped me thread it through - is attached to a keychain-like ring, which itself is also looped around a gray shoestring-type cord. The shoestring, in turn, is connected to a small black buckle, that attaches to a long necklace, also made of the same gray shoestring. The shoestrings sport the word "Kingston" and "DataTraveler" on it, in case none of your friends know that you're on the cutting edge of digital technology.
The necklace might help you not lose the thing easily, but what's even more useful is the little USB extension cord that comes with the drive. It's about 4 inches in length, and acts as an extension of the port on your PC. This is helpful if your USB port is on the back of your case, so that it's easier to reach when you need to plug in the DataTraveler in a hurry. It's also useful if your other ports are occupied, which would make plugging the drive directly into your case a little cumbersome. It simply adds a little reach to your ports, so that you don't have to.
As you can tell from the image, the drive has a small triangular point on its surface, which lights up when the drive is connected, and flashes when it's in use. It's a nice reminder that the unit is in and functioning properly.
This is a very solid product. It does the job that it's designed to do, and provides virtually no fuss. It's reasonably priced, and works quickly and reliably to get your data where you need to take it. Those looking for some serious storage space, or extra frills may want to continue shopping for alternatives, but as a starter USB drive, you really cannot go wrong here. It's a convenient, cheap, no-nonsense drive, and it passes our tests with flying colors.

The Prime Importance of the Individual from the Point of View of Human Nature
Human nature seeks no more than to perpetuate as far as possible its own existence and to achieve its instinctive desires. If the first step man takes in his development is to form social groupings, and if he preserves these societies by acting in accordance with their laws-thus surrendering to the same extent a degree of his individual freedom, it is in order that by depriving himself of one portion of his freedom he gain and benefit from another portion by being better able to provide for his innate requirements and his subsistence.
The first goal of creation is the happiness of the individual; the happiness of society follows upon this. In other words the purpose of creation is the perfection of human nature, and this perfection is realized in the being of the individual, not in the shape and form of society. Thus, man is directed towards the formation of social groupings to preserve the individual.
For in order that he may realize the fundamental purpose of life-happiness and well-being-it is necessary that he should follow an orderly system of living, a system which inevitably must be social. He must eat, drink, clothe himself, sleep, rest, wed, bear offspring, secure his needs, and through the use of his mind provide the means of his own subsistence.

"I was lucky I found SAN. In America, if you have no insurance, you can't get well."
Raju S.
Raju came to Los Angeles from Nepal with the hopes of getting treatment for his son, who was suffering from a rare, degenerative medical condition. Instead, he quickly learned how difficult it was to find a treatment center that served the uninsured, a place to live or ways to navigate the city. A neighbor referred him to SAN. SAN's Health Care Unit staff was able to connect Raju and his son to affordable health care, including surgery, post-operative care and physical therapy. Today, Raju's son is thriving; he's growing at the pace of a typical teenage boy, excelling in school and playing for his local soccer team.

Now that we have been blissfully living in sin for 2 years, I have switched to early morning workouts- sometimes as early as 5 am. When I share this with friends and colleagues I'm often met with groans and "I don't know how you do that" comments. But really, the early alarm is all mental my friends. Here's my list of ways to get moving in the morning:
5 tips for Morning Exercise
2.) Find something that excites you- Let's face it, when the weather turns dark and cold in the winter, even the diehard exercisers struggle with their desire to get out of bed for the gym. For me, I have looked forward to morning workouts if I really love what I am doing. If it feels like a chore, then maybe its not the right workout for you! Lately Crossfit has been striking my fancy and even though late work nights have prevented my 6am attendance, I am itching to get back.
3.) Get Social- Sometimes it just takes a few encouraging words to give you the boost you need. Tweet, FB, Instagram your intent for a morning workout or the after sweaty pic. It will amaze you the support you will receive in the most surprising places.
5.) Plan your day accordingly- When I have morning workouts I plan out my day ahead of time. By setting out my workout clothes, picking out my work outfit and planning my lunch, I allow myself the time to exercise without excuses. No more, I have a 9am meeting and couldn't get ready in time. When you plan ahead, its harder to make excuses.
Are these tips fail-safe? Certainly not, but the trick to any workout, diet, lifestyle regimen is the desire and want to continue and improve. Do you want to be healthy? Do you want to feel good, eat right, sleep well? You are the person in control to make that decision everyday.
Question of the day: What tips can you share about making morning workouts easier?

If this is really the case, if they can get Dashon Goldson too, that secondary should be much improved.
Ronde Barber comes back another season also.
That division will still be tough for them though, Falcons, Saints and Panthers. Looks like they are arming up to take on those QB's finally.

An Actual Game!
Webmaster Larry and I threw down over two days last week. If you recall the first game we played back in 2008 then you remember that I accidently cheated by bringing more points than Larry and we played to a draw. In this last epic, two-day struggle it was Larry who cheated (accidently he alleges) when he gave one of his Tomb Spyders a particle whip. He mumbled something about confusing the particle PROJECTOR with the particle WHIP. He blasted one troop squad down to four models and vaped my Predator and generally did a bunch of damage, and we did not discover his error until the game was nearly over. He was also taking armor saves, with the same Tomb Spyder, against my powerfist Terminators, something I should have caught, but did not.
Anyway, (alleged) cheating aside I managed to claim one objective and, since he forgot to move his intact, and unthreatened, warrior squad from around a building on to an objective, the other two remained unclaimed. In his defence Larry thought the game lasted 7 turns instead of the 6, like I thought, so when I announced that the game ended, and that I had won, he said that he was planning to move them next turn. Well, after reading some "rules" in the "rule book" we found out that I was incorrect and we should have been rolling for game length starting on turn 5. But see, whereas Larry was cheating, I just forgot (allegedly).
Great fun was had by all, even though there was much cursing and throwing of things when Larry could do nothing to hurt my Terminators and failed many we'll-be-back rolls. HA HA!

Even while I knew what was going to happen when I saw this video, it shocked me when I saw it exploding the way it did, with no warning whatsoever. To be honest, I don't know if this Saudi fighter jet is a real fighter jet or not. It sounds like one, it looks like one, and it explodes like one, so it must be an aeroplane or a duck. But somehow, some people think it may be an RC model. Still, the idea of the plane just exploding like that reminds you how fragile our technological world is—says the guy taking a plane on Monday. What do you people think? Real or model?
[Editor's Note: Definitely a jet RC model!]

Gift of the Holy Ghost
The gift of the Holy Ghost is the subject of a Mormon ritual following baptism. Also known as the baptism of fire and confirmation (similar in some ways to confirmation in Catholicism), receving the gift of the Holy Ghost is one of the rituals required for membership in the Mormon church. Mormons believe that those who have the gift of the Holy Ghost are privy to special revelation, directly from the Holy Ghost. Those without the gift can only feel the Light of Christ.
Only Mormon men, who have been initiated into the Aaronic priesthood, are authorized to perform the laying on of hands and confer the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Light of Christ[edit]
Mormons teach that people can pray to know that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. But since people cannot have the Holy Ghost with them until after they receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, Mormons teach that all humans are under the influence of the Light of Christ. The Light of Christ is defined as the influence of God that permeates the universe, giving life and order to all things. In this manner, it is a kind of omnipotence. The Light of Christ is also assumed to prepare people for the gift of the Holy Ghost by helping them discern divine truth.

EPA issues Greenhouse Gas Permit in Texas
Release Date: 04/14/2014
Contact Information: Joe Hubbard or Jennah Durant at 214-665-2200 or firstname.lastname@example.com
$450 Million in economic development and hundreds of jobs
DALLAS – (April 15, 2014) Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final greenhouse gas (GHG) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permit to Apex Matagorda Energy Center, LLC, Matagorda, Texas. The permit allows Apex to construct a 317-megawatt electric generating plant and auxiliary equipment to store bulk energy for the electrical grid.
"We are working closely with business to protect both our environment and our economy," said EPA Regional Administrator Ron Curry. "This permit demonstrates how business can save energy, reduce emissions, and take decisive steps toward a low-carbon future."
The energy from stored compressed high pressure air will be supplemented with natural gas fired combustion turbines to produce electricity during off-peak hours. The facility also aims to enhance the performance of renewable and conventional fossil fuel generation.
In June 2010, EPA finalized national GHG regulations, which specify that beginning on January 2, 2011, projects that increase GHG emissions substantially will require an air permit.
EPA believes states are best equipped to run GHG air permitting programs. Texas is working to replace a federal implementation plan with its own state program, which will eliminate the need for businesses to seek air permits from EPA. This action will increase efficiency and allow for industry to continue to grow in Texas.
EPA has finalized over 32 GHG permits in Texas, proposed an additional 11 permits, and currently has over
30 additional GHG permit applications under development in Texas.
