So I recently bought a water distiller and started experimenting on different waters I had around the home.
a) soft city tap water
b) hard city tap water
c) store bought distilled that went through our water stand (those stands get dirty if they don't have regular maintenance)
d) the crystal clear tasty finished product!
I'm so glad I bought this. No more shelling out $5 a jug to the store for something that should be free. Plus those jugs are made with the BPA type of plastic just so you know. Ridiculous that they still use that.
Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you are already drinking clean water, but for those like me who thought they were doing the right thing and weren't - just a heads-up!
Not sure if you can really see the difference between "c" and "d" in the pic. "C" is cloudier and has little bits of sediment floating in it. The difference is much more apparent in real life. I'll have trouble drinking out of those coolers now I'm sure!
You assume that water is like fruit and vegetables in that they are living and contain a quality of life-giving which is destroyed when heat is applied. You ask how can this not be?
Easy: Because unlike food, water (H2O) is an inert substance and you cannot ascribe to it any quality of life (other than that the body requires it to function, but it is H2O and H2O only, with no other parameters, for instance, a rotting orange has had its nutrients consumed by bacteria but "rotting water" is still water once nature removes the water from the contamination via evaporation.). Heating it does not chemically change it. It becomes gaseous and then condenses back into a liquid. If you fry a banana there are observable chemical changes, that correspond with the natural hygiene idea of food being able to give life. If you boil water there is no observable chemical change, it is still H20. It can become more acidic or alkaline with the addition or subtraction of hydroxide or hydronium ions but that is a separate matter. So whether you observe it simply or via chemistry, there is no change; no destruction of life-giving quality. If you dehydrate a banana and collect the water, it is pure H20 and has not been changed. The water in the banana is the water outside of the banana. It is better to get the water from the banana, of course, but it is helpful to view water as a constituent substance. So the pure water has not changed even though you heated it and removed it from the fruit. It is more healthy in the fruit, but only because the fruit is healthy; the water is still the same old water.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Rather, you are comparing oranges to water. Or, you are comparing a basket to a reed.
"Filtering" it through many layers of earth and clay simply adds inorganic minerals. There is nothing in pure water (H2O) that needs to be filtered out as it contains nothing except H2O. Nature has a great mechanism for purifying water, and you may have learned about it at a young age - the water cycle. Water evaporates into the upper parts of our atmosphere where it condenses into clouds, which are beautiful to gaze upon, then it falls onto the earth where it is as pure as can be. So if we want to drink water, that is the best water for us. The water in the many layers of earth and clay was once pure, when it fell from the heavens, but it now contains inorganic minerals which are for the plants, not for you. The plants will deliver them to you in a much more suitable form.
Cue big cloud of smog, and now "pure" rainwater is no longer the best water for us.
i'm an only advocating for natural spring water, not rainwater.
so you are saying then that natural spring water contains nothing more than 2 molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen. nothing more?
imagine our human ancestors growing thirsty. ocean water would be too salty, lake water and river water would be teeming with life and also be probably close to unsafe or at least less then ideal as fish feces does not add a pleasant taste.
shallow streams perhaps, and definitely springs would be the choice for a thirsty human. This water would have quite a bit more in it then simple H2O.
boil this water and everything in it dies. hence my use of the term 'dead water'.
one more interesting article.http://chetday.com/distilledwater.htm
Here is a much better link that the one you gave me:
Natural spring water would most likely also contain inorganic minerals, which are harmful to the body. It could also contain many bacteria. Some of the bacteria could be harmful, if there is an overgrowth due to disruption of local bacterial flora. So you are incorrect, it would not just contain 3 types of molecule.
What exactly is "in" your precious spring water... You say it would have "quite a bit more in it" than simple H2O. And all this stuff would "die" if you boiled it. This is a fallacy perpetuated by the mineral water companies. And now it's floating across the internet. Why are you being so vague, is it that you don't really know what's in it but you want to ascribe qualities of life to it?
What could be in it? Tell me please.
You don't need to consume bacteria to sustain life or gain any advantage. Bacteria is already everywhere. You do not need to drink it, it is in your tongue and in your water and on your skin and everywhere, whether the water was distilled or not. The second it goes below boiling temperature the bacteria come back. Same with rain. Soon as it condenses or falls you can bet the bacteria will come back.
The only minerals it would contain are inorganic minerals, which are not conducive to sustaining human life. We need minerals in their organic form from fruits and vegetables.
The article you linked to is ridiculous. I'm surprised they didn't say anything about "living" or "dead" water. I'm glad they didn't becuase water is oh yeah an inert substance and cannot be living or dead. there is nothing living in water that the body benefits from. the body benefits from pure h20, or the water naturally occuring in juicy fruits which is part of the fruit. The focus of the article was on the softness of distilled water which pulls minerals. Distilled water can only pull inorganic minerals! Basic chemistry and scientific literacy is all I'm asking for here. Do you really think Doug Graham completely ignored these concerns when making his recommendation for distilled water? No, he did his research, and realized that most of these claims are complete nonsense.
"Water filtered through a solid charcoal filter is slightly alkaline."
Charcoal filters are standard issue on countertop distillers.
By your logic, rainwater is "dead water" and we should wait for it to "filter through" (get contaminated by) inorganic minerals and come out of a natural spring before we drink it. I still don't understand how you can "kill" it by boiling it though. It's not alive in the first place, and it doesn't provide significant nutrition. This sounds like "spiritual wu-wu bull excrement" to me. I'd rather drink pure water as nature intended, rather than letting it get all dirtied up so it ossifies my brain.
'Humans are not naturally water-drinking creatures, for they have absolutely no equipment for it as have natural water-drinking animals. Therefore, the proper diet for humans is necessarily water sufficient. A correct diet must contain the pure water that we require.'
this quote comes directly from the article you sent. i fail to see any 'science' as you keep demanding present in this quote.
what i do know is that the only current source of water on earth that requires no alteration to make it safe comes in the form of clean sourced spring water. unfortunately safe sources of spring water are rare and fast depleting and we must drink safe water.
you argue that distilled water is best because it is pure. yes it certainly is closest to pure h2o as one can get. but making a chemical compound pure does not necessarily make it best from a wholistic viewpoint. i certainly do not want to breath in pure oxygen for as you know that would be deadly, i just want the freshest air and the freshest water possible.
clearly arguing semantics and throwing up endless internet links will not settle our differences so i wish you luck in your endeavours. your opinions and theories and the science used to back up your opinions and theories have been duly noted and i thank you for your efforts.
peace be with you.
Now I read you. And I had tried rubbing stones together all day just to figure out how much osmosis it would take to fix LA. Sadly, all I got was accepting that 1) pipes are there and in Haiti they are not and 2) the question of immunity / disease / pathogens in reference to a city without water doesn't lie in the hands of authority, it has to do with the people pissing in the water.
As far as all the drilling all over everywhere, it also makes me sad to think that we are in some serious s***. I'm now wondering how much a Berkey can filter as it seems the next logical step to the spring.
Sorry if I was blunt before.
Wow.. I'm just greatful I have nice clean well water from right under my house.
You sure it's clean?
Are there any farms near you; do they fertilize or spray? Do your neighbors have septic systems, and do they use non-biodegradable chemicals and take pharmaceuticals? Are there any natural gas fracking operations in your county or state?
Not to mention inorganic minerals.
Scrape up $700 for a full-spectrum chemical analyses, you'd be surprised at all the prozac that's in there.

Battlefield 4 running at 5K resolution
Most PC gamers are running with modest to decent PC hardware, at a perfectly-fine 1080p resolution. But that's not good enough for some of the hardcore gamers out there. Like the guys in the video above, who built a powerful rig and hooked it up to no less than five 1080p monitors for a game of Battlefield 4. Running at (almost) 5K resolution: (5,400 x 1,920) spread out over all five 1080p monitors! The system required to run Battlefield 4 at such a high resolution is astonishing: an Intel Core i7 4770 Quad Core CPU to start with, coupled with

I'm accepting donations. Just send whatever you can afford to my paypal account and I'll be sure he gets it. Hehehe.
I actually think I'm gonna pay for this once my subscription runs out. I guess it did pay to get up @ 5AM this morning, like I do every morning.
they might be afraid people aren't gonna buy windows 7 like how windows vista was a fail at launch, if a good amount of people already have it with keys then it can get some good opinions, and 7 is a really good OS I run it on a pc with 512mb of ram and it runs better on 7 than it does on XP, its amazing
I think Win 7 is already getting some good rep from all of us running the Beta's and the wonderful RC.
Yes, you should be able to get the Windows 7 RTM when it is released to technet subscribers, usually right after or about the same time MSDN subs get it and usually before the general public.
Agreed. That is taking it too far, which is what too many people are doing. This is why the servers are getting killed and so many are getting errors. No need to be greedy people.
I've only gotten one Key. If someone needs a Key for something send me a PM and I will be glad to get one for them.
How can you be deemed greedy when its free for anyone to get? Its not like hes taking keys away from others, because they just keep getting generated? Its MS's fault anyway, I asked for a key for Office Ultimate and they gave me 7 - fuel to the fire perhaps?
I'm sure Microsoft saw some major spikes in traffic the last few days I don't really know the basis of microsoft doing a promo like this.. However its gonna do wonders for technet subscriptions This could be Microsoft trying to get Windows 7 out there more too.. "here IT guys, have windows 7! its awesome! tell your friends! *friends buy windows 7* Microsoft wins again! It could also just be an "oops!" by PR guys that have no idea, as usual. I doubt a majority of the keys being handed out via technet are even gonna get used much. Products like windows server datacenter aren't gonna be ninja'd by an enthusiast and severely hurt profits. They don't buy it anyways.
+1 I didnt even know this service exsisted untill today, If id only known before . But its something i will be keeping. Big thanks to bogmali
Besides, for the corporate/enterprise products, MS makes more money on the support than on the products themselves.

Reference Expression cookbook
This cookbook refers to the old expression language. For information on Python expressions, see the Houdini Object Model section.
Choosing a random number seed
The rand(seed) function always returns the same number when given the same seed
value. This makes "random" values repeatable between playbacks. However, you must be careful to supply a seed value that varies.
The current frame number ($F
) is usually a good seed value, however:
If you need random values for a sub-frame process, use the fractional frame number
instead of$F
. -
If you need more than one random value, such as R, G, and B values for a random color, give each call to
a different seed value by modifying the$F
, otherwise each call will return the same number and the color will be gray.R
rand($F * 10)
rand($F * 100)
If you need random values that vary across geometry, use a variable like
(the current point number) as the seed. If the value needs to be random across the geometry and across time, combine$PT
.rand($PT / $F)
Random number from X to Y
The rand(seed) function returns a random number from 0 to 1. Use the fit01(value, min, max) function to map the random value to a different range. For example, use fit01(rand($F), -10, -10)
for a random number from -10 to 10.
(This is the same as rand($F)*20 - 10
but it saves you from having to do the calculation necessary to work out what to multiply and subtract to get the desired range.)
Use modulus to cycle expression values
The modulus operator, a % b , returns the remainder after dividing a by b.
This is very useful in expressions, because no matter how big a gets, the result will keep cycling from 0 to b-1. For example, $F % 120
is a ramp from 0 to 119 which repeats at frame 120, 240, 360, and so on.
The modulus operator works on any real number, not just integers. Therefore, the value returned might not be what you expect. For example: 3.1415 % 1
returns 0.1415
, and 34.999 % 5
returns 4.999
Use sin to smoothly cycle between two values
Use an expression like sin($F * 10) in an object's translate-X parameter to animate it moving smoothly back and forth.
Take the absolute (always positive) value of the expression, abs(sin($F * 10)), in an object's translate-Y parameter to make it bounce up and down, reversing smoothly at the top and sharply at the bottom.
To make the bounce decay over time, create a spare parameter to hold the decay rate. Change the bounce expression to multiply by the decay parameter: (abs(sin($F * 10)) * ch("./decay")
. Then, edit the curve of the decay parameter to go from 1 to 0 over time.
Grab the value of another parameter
Use the ch("pathname")
function to grab the value of another parameter.
For example, to have a Tube SOP change its height based on the translation of an object named logo, set the tube's Height parameter to the expression ch("/obj/logo/ty")
To create ch()
references easily, press
on the source parameter and choose Copy Parameter, then press
on the target parameter and choose Paste Copied References.
You can use the channel value within an arithmetic expression, for example ch("/obj/$OS/spare1") + ch("/obj/$OS/tx") + 2
takes the value of the channel $OS/spare1 and adds the X value of that point plus two.
The chf()
function is the same as ch() function, but you can specify the frame at which to sample the value of the named parameter. For example, chf("/obj/logo/ty", 14)
grabs the value of the logo's translate-Y at frame 14. Use $F
to offset from the current frame, for example chf("/obj/logo/ty", $F + 14)
grabs the value 14 frames in the future.
The chs() function returns the value as a string. This is also useful for checkbox parameters because it returns "on" or "off" instead of float values.
Get the nodes connected to the current node
You can get the path of the node connected to a node's input with the opinput(operator_path, input_index) function. You can use this to automate path references in nodes. For example, if you want to get the number of incoming points from the node connected to the current node's first input, use:
npoints( "../" + opinput(".", 0) )
The following expression examples were created by using a Grid op set to 1 row by 180 columns, and Connectivity set to Rows. To this, a Point op was appended. To use these as a segment expression, use the same expression in a channel, and replace the position variable ($PT, $TX or $BBZ) with $T.
Sine and cosine
The sine (and cosine) function are extremely versatile for the creation of all kinds of shapes. The basic sine function can be used to transform a line or surface on the XZ plane into an oscillating wave.
The general form for a geometric sine wave is:
Position Y |
For wave motion, you could use this segment expression:
Position Y |
The basis for the wave: to animate the geometry of the wave, this could be set instead to ($TX + $F). |
frequency |
Controls the number of waves. You could set this to the bounding box position, $BBX, to make the waves more frequent towards the end of the line. |
amplitude |
Controls the height of waves. You could set this to the bounding box position, $BBX, to flatten the waves toward the end of the line, or the current frame, $F, to make the waves larger as the animation progresses. s |
offset |
Translates the waves. |
To get ripples radiating from a center, base the sine function on the distance of the point to the center of the surface:
Position Y |
To animate this, add a time-based variable to the expression:
You can make Arcs, Circles, Ellipses and Spirals by modifying a point's position in two axes using a sine and a cosine function:
Position X |
Position Y |
Position X |
Position Y |
The angle subtended by this expression equals arcangle * total number of points.
radiusX and radiusY are the radius of the circle. If differing, then an ellipse is generated. If set to a variable such as $PTthen a spiral may be generated. offsetX and offsetY translate the arc.
Position X |
This expression is useful as a segment expression when you want an object to go in the path of a circle and maintain the same orientation of the object (if you use a rotation channel, the orientation will rotate as well).
Position X |
Elliptical arc
Position X |
Change values of the multiplier (2 and 0.7 in the example) to change the aspect ratio of the arc.
Logarithmic Spiral
This creates a logarithmic spiral, reminiscent of nautilus shells.
Position X |
Position Y |
3D Spiral
The height of the spiral versus the spiral size can be controlled by the Position in Z.
Position X |
Position Y |
Position Z |

You can use a Point SOP referencing a spare parameter to shear, taper, squash, bend, and apply other deformations to geometry.
You can also achieve these effects with the Twist.
Shears geometry in any direction, X, Y, or Z. To shear about the bottom of an object in the X direction, first add a Point sop and set it's display flag, then add the channel spare1 (use Edit > Add User Defined Channels…). Then in the Point sop, change the Translate X to:
Position X |
You can animate the amount of shearing with the spare parameter.
Taper is similar to shear; you can taper in any direction. To taper in the X direction, use a Point op, and add a spare channel. Change pos x to any of the following:
Position X |
Position Y |
You can animate the amount of shearing with the spare parameter. For this expression, the spare parameter must be greater than 0 or an error will occur.
Squash and Stretch
Squash and stretch is a traditional animation technique where if an object scales up in one direction (stretch) there will be a corresponding scale down in the other direction.
A simple way of doing squash and stretch is with a Transform sop and using only the scaling channels: sx, sy, and sz. Use the sy channel to scale the object using the any function ( ease(), bezier(), etc. ). Then in the sx and sz channel segment use:
Scale X |
Scale Z |
Now when you animate the Scale Y (sy) channel, the relative volume of the object is preserved.
Bulge and Pinch
To get a squash and stretch where the only the middle of the object is affected (so it bulges or pinches), use a Point op with spare1 channel as your controlling channel. Change pos x and pos z to:
Position X |
Position Z |
To get a smooth bulge/pinch, precede the Point op with a Refine op, and increase the U and V Divisions over a range of 0 - 1. You can also use a Twist or Lattice op to get bulging effects.
To twist an object around its center, append a Point op and create a spare channel. Change the pos x and pos z to:
Position X |
Position Z |
For greater control, precede the Point op with a Refine op, and increase the U and V Divisions over a range of 0 - 1. You can also use a Twist or Lattice op to get twist effects.
To bend an object, use a Point sop and create a spare channel. Change the pos x and pos z to:
Position X |
Position Y |
As with twist, you may want finer control by preceding the Point op with a Refine op, and increase the U and V Divisions over a range of 0 - 1. You can also use a Twist or Lattice op to get bend effects.
Repeat animation curves
Use the repeat function to copy or repeat repetitive motion. The basic form for the repeat function is:
repeat (start_keyframe, end_keyframe)
If you have keyframes at 0, 22, and 36, and you want to repeat the curve from 0 to 36, you select the segment from frames 36- , and enter:
repeat (0,36)
This works within a channel, without referencing another channel.
Your repeat range must be outside the range of the currently selected segment. For example, if you have keyframes at frames 0, 22, and 36, you cannot select the segment from 0-22 and assign a repeat() function with values within the range of 0-22, because it would be trying to repeat values of itself that have not yet been determined.
Iso-surface node equations
The Iso Surface SOP creates surfaces from equations.
You can set up the IsoSurface SOP with an expression having three dimensions, each taking a real value. The IsoSurface SOP can then create a surface from every point inside a bounding box where the expression equals 0.
For example, the default expression
…plots a sphere (the expression is less than 0 inside a unit sphere, greater than 0 outside a unit sphere, and equal to 0 at the surface of a unit sphere).
This may seem like a difficult way to define a sphere, but combined with the rich array of functions available to expressions, it has the potential to create complex and strange surfaces. For example, noise($X, $Y, $Z) plots a random jumble of surfaces.
Here is an expression to define a flaming star:
Implicit function |
Minimum bounds |
-10 -10 -10 |
Maximum bounds |
10 10 10 |
Divisions |
40 40 40 |
In this equation, the rectangular (Cartesian) coordinate system has been moved to a spherical (polar) coordinate system. The star diminishes as the distance from the center increases.
Use $F (current frame) as a variable in an equation to make it animate over time.
The if function is perfectly valid in IsoSurface SOP equations, and you can use it to construct geometry piecewise.

Vote Rico S. Giron for San Miguel County Sheriff in the general election on Tuesday November 2, 2010.
Affidavit of Clarification and Citizenship for Voter Registration |
URGENT READ: The Law of I, Ricardo S. Giron, a Sovereign Natural Born Citizen of the Republic of Texas, do hereby voluntarily and starting at my birth on June 30, 1957 and at all times in the future relinquish any presumptive 14th Amendment citizenship status and any and all privileges and immunities granted therein. Having been born on nonfederal land in one of the sovereign 50 states and outside of the "United States" (the federal territories and possessions and the District of Columbia), I claim my citizenship status to be a "national of the United States of America" and not a "citizen of the United States" in accordance with the following statutes:
I now retain, will at all times in the future retain, and always have retained my natural born status of a Citizen of one of the union States of America under the Constitution and law, and my Citizenship in these united States of America. I preserve all my unalienable Rights that are inherent from my Creator, at all times. I waive no rights at any time, including by operation of any implied contract asserted by the government. As a Natural Born Sovereign Citizen of the state, Citizen of the Soil, I have the same measure of citizenship in my country as our founding fathers and early citizens had, including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, all of whom had no 14th Amendment citizenship because there was no 14th Amendment at the time they were alive. I, do hereby declare my right to expatriate as absolute and declare that I have already expatriated from the municipal corporation of the District of Columbia, also known as the federal corporation, the "United States", and thereby voluntarily relinquish any presumed or actual, res in trust, existing by operation of law or of any presumptions about my citizenship, to the foreign jurisdiction known as the municipal corporation of the District of Columbia, a legislative democracy, and thereby return to the Constitutional Republic envisioned by our founding fathers. To remove all doubt, the municipal corporation referred to is the one described below: United States Code TITLE 28 - JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE PART VI - PARTICULAR PROCEEDINGS CHAPTER 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE SUBCHAPTER A - DEFINITIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS Sec. 3002. Definitions (15) ''United States'' means - (A) a Federal corporation; (B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or (C) an instrumentality of the United States. Any and all past and present political ties implied or presumed, by operation of law or otherwise, in trust with the democracy, as a consequence of any presumed citizenship ties I might have, are hereby dissolved. The right to vote is an absolute and natural right of being a state citizen, and it can not, by operation of law or otherwise, be turned into a government privilege by coercing me into becoming a type of citizen that I do not choose to be or by coercing me to participate in an illegal and unethical state or federal income tax system. "Almost a century ago, Congress declared that "the right of expatriation [including expatriation from the District of Columbia or "U.S. Inc", the corporation] is a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and decreed that "any declaration, instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officers of this government which denies, restricts, impairs, or questions the right of expatriation, is hereby declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this government." 15 Stat. 223-224 (1868), R.S. § 1999, 8 U.S.C. § 800 (1940).[1][1] Although designed to apply especially to the rights of immigrants to shed their foreign nationalities, that Act of Congress "is also broad enough to cover, and does cover, the corresponding natural and inherent right of American citizens to expatriate themselves." Savorgnan v. United States, 1950, 338 U.S. 491, 498 note 11, 70 S. Ct. 292, 296, 94 L. Ed. 287.[2][2] The Supreme Court has held that the Citizenship Act of 1907 and the Nationality Act of 1940 "are to be read in the light of the declaration of policy favoring freedom of expatriation which stands unrepealed." Id., 338 U.S. at pages 498-499, 70 S. Ct. at page 296.That same light, I think, illuminates 22 U.S.C.A. § 211a and 8 U.S.C.A.§ 1185." Walter Briehl v. John Foster Dulles, 284 F2d 561, 583 (1957). The U.S. supreme Court has declared in the case of Hooven and Allison v. Evatt, 324 U.S. 652, 1945 that: The term 'United States' may be used in any one of several senses. It may be merely [1] the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in the family of nations. [2] It may designate the territory over which the sovereignty of the United States extends [324 U.S. 652, 672] , or [3] it may be the collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution. Be advised that I am not expatriating from "United States" the country (the first definition), but simply the municipal corporation located in District of Columbia and federal territories only, which is the second definition identified above. Furthermore, this document SHALL NOT serve as evidence that I ever was such a citizen of the United States[2] indicated above. In fact, the opposite is true: I have NEVER been a citizen or a resident of the second definition of the "United States" appearing above and any presumption to the contrary asserted by the government is now and forever rebutted. I affirm, under penalty of perjury, under the Common Law of America, without the "United States", that the foregoing is true and correct, to the best of my current information, knowledge, and belief, per 28 U.S.C. 1746(1); and I now affix my own signature to all of the above affirmations WITH EXPLICIT RESERVATION OF ALL MY RIGHTS AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE UCC 1-207 (UCCA 1207) ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ Certificate of Mailing I, Ricardo S. Giron, do hereby certify that on April 7th, 2011, I sent a copy of the foregoing document to the following parties by U.S. mail: U.S. Department of State Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 2201 C.

#King Edward Hotel - 3F - Port Elizabeth
Name: King Edward Hotel (formerly Protea Edward Hotel)
Use: Luxury Hotel Floors: 3 Status: Renovation Location: CBD, Port Elizabeth The King Edward Hotel is back in town 2009/08/24 Ivor Markman HERALD PHOTOJOURNALIST firstname.lastname@example.com THE King is back in Port Elizabeth, thanks to a R180-million investment in the Edward Hotel. The good news is that the new owners, United Arab Emirates-based Akulla Trading, have changed the name of the famous 105-year old hotel overlooking the Donkin Reserve back to the original – the King Edward Hotel. With the completion of the first phase of the hotel's refurbishment, a sneak preview shows obvious changes from the moment visitors enter the hotel. Walls which lined the old narrow entrance have been knocked down to include two rooms on the left and one on the right to transform the entire entrance area. A gracious lounge and reading room are on the left, leading through to the refurbished courtyard, while a completely revamped reception area is on the right-hand side. The addition of light marble tiles and a tasteful colour scheme lend an air of Victorian-style elegance throughout the downstairs public area. Prime accommodation will be the new luxury suite appropriately named His Excellency's Suite. You will be able to spend the night in the suite for a mere R10000 a night, bed and breakfast. The suite comprises an entrance hall, a luxurious lounge, a dining-room, two en suite bedrooms and a third toilet. Although exact details have not yet been worked out, you will probably also have your own concierge. The newly refurbished executive rooms will cost R1200 single and R1400 double. At the moment the hotel is rated at three stars, but the new owners hope to have it upgraded to a five-star rating by the time the 2010 Fifa World Cup starts. "The strategic plan is to refurbish all public areas and all the rooms," said marketing manager Zelda George. "There will be 100 rooms in total. All public areas will be refurbished, including the conference centre, the breakaway rooms in the conference centre and the reception front. All 100 bedrooms will eventually be refurbished. At this stage only those on the first floor have been completed, but work is already under way on the next wing. At the moment there are plans to have an Indian restaurant, a fine dining restaurant, a buffet and a coffee shop opened by the end of October. The King Edward was built on land granted to settler John Carter, an accountant from Kent, in 1832. Two years later the plot was divided and houses built. By 1902 Palace Buildings Ltd had purchased the land. Local architects Jones and McWilliams designed King Edward Mansions in the "Old English" style. The building was expected to cost £3500 and building began in January the following year. To mark the official opening in 1904, the chairman of Palace Buildings, Hitler Holt, invited 60 gentlemen to dinner in the new restaurant. There were 120 bedrooms and sittingrooms, but only 14 bathrooms with hot and cold water and shower baths. The hotel had a restaurant, a news room and a post office. The oldest lift in Port Elizabeth can be found in the hotel. Richard Lambson bought the hotel in 1911 and in 1920 it became the King Edward Hotel. The "King" was deposed in 1961 after South Africa became a republic and the establishment became simply the Edward Hotel. In 1978, the Edward became part of the Port Elizabeth Hotels group, later Protea Hotels, until it was sold in 2008 to Akulla Trading, who soon started refurbishing the hotel. "The years took their toll. Age, neglect and a shifting CBD left this grand lady virtually derelict," George said. "(Refurbishing) has been moving quite fast but it is going to move a whole lot faster because our plans are to get the conference venues and the breakaway rooms done, after the fine dining area is complete. The architects responsible for the renovations are Brinkman, Ndayi, McAll. "We are keeping the (size of the) conference room, but the structure itself and the arches will stay. We are refurbishing everything else as it is very, very old." |

It is starting to look good. But i have a problem. The rates are 1200 a night but it still only has a 3 star rating. Thats crazy if they expect people to book.

I doubt that they will get a five star rating as the UAE owners run the Le Vendome Hotel in Cape Town which was recently downgraded to a four star grading. Doubt it will become like the Radisson PE. Agree that the rates would not justify it either. Maybe the hotel will go from three to four stars. I think that is more likely as there is not a great need to go five star in PE right now.

Why do you say that? Most of the game reserves around the city are 5star establishments and a lot of the people going there may decided to stay in PE the night before or after. If so, why would they not be interested in 5star accommodation in the city? Its because there is a need that the Radisson was opened. Just because one 5star hotel has opened it doesn't mean that the need has now been filled.

Gary Anderson and Kyle Tadei received their first degree black belts from Sensei Henry Uyeda, the head instructor, at the Kamloops Judo Club on Monday night.
Anderson started with the KJC in 1978 at eight years of age. Later, he took a few years away, returning in 2005. He has been a director of the KJC society since 2006, and toured Japan in 2007, practising judo for 14 days.
He has been refereeing since 2010 — he has his Provincial C certificate — and also coaches.
Tadei has been a member of the KJC since 2007 and has been coaching lower belts in the senior class since 2009. He has completed his dojo assistant coaching course on and off the mats, but a recurring shoulder injury has prevented him from completing his certification.
He has competed extensively throughout B.C., although the shoulder injury has forced him to step back. He now concentrates on athlete development within the club.
Tadei, like Anderson, has started to get into refereeing and his been certified as a Provincial D official.
Earlier, when the club held its year-end promotions, the late Sensei Yoshio Yoshida was honoured with the Steve Sasaki Award for dedication to judo. He shared the award with Sensei Yoshitake Mori of Vernon.
Yoshida, a seventh-degree black belt who died July 12, 2011, had been with the club since it began in 1956. He is a member of the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame.

Business hotels in Chicago
Featured properties: business hotels in Chicago
Our Kind of TownStanding proud beside Lake Michigan, Chicago is down-to-earth, friendly, and abounding in culture. It has outdoor art by famous artists including Chagall and Picasso, and there are some fascinating architectural examples from the Art Institute of Chicago. Home to blues and house music, Chicago has an eclectic music scene that reflects its spirit. The Windy City is also a pioneer in a variety of Americanized dishes from it's European immigrant roots like deep-dish pizza and the Chicago hot dog. The world's first skyscraper and Ferris wheel were erected in Chicago. The latter, on Navy Pier, is one of the Midwest's most visited sights. Also famed is the 'L' transport system, whose raised trains circle The Loop, the main business district. Check out its skyline reflection in the shiny bean sculpture in huge Millennium Park. Home of the Bulls and Bears, Chicago is a stronghold of sport and has teams playing baseball, basketball, American football and hockey, to name a few. If you get a chance, try to catch a game. Chicago Midway and Chicago O'Hare Airport are both on the outskirts of this vast city, so make sure to leave enough time for travel from your Booking.com hotel, apartment or hostel. And all that jazz. |

SELAM'S SKULL nestles in a researcher's palm.

Read More »
This month's feature article by Kate Wong, "Lucy's Baby," represents something both very old and very new. The old has been christened Selam, a tiny being who was born 3.3 million years ago but did not live past her third birthday. Contrary to the nickname by which she has also come to be well known, Selam was most definitely not a child of Lucy, the Australopithecus afarensis female whose skeleton was famously unearthed in 1974--Selam predated Lucy by more than 100,000 years. (Yet incongruity trumps chronology: it seems equally wrong to refer to a baby as "Lucy's grand¿mother.") Those two australpithecines were probably about as distantly related as any one of us is to the first modern humans to spread out from Africa.
But Selam and Lucy are kin as grande dames in the scientific reconstruction of how humans came to walk. Decades ago paleoanthropologists argued about whether our ancient ancestors evolved large brains and then walked erect or became bipedal before they were brainy. The discovery of upright but small-skulled Lucy helped to settle the matter decisively. Now Selam is further illuminating whether A. afarensis spent all its time on the ground or, like an ape, still lived a partially arboreal life, as Wong describes, starting on page 78.
So much for the old. What's new about the article is the experimental nature of how it came to be.
The discovery of Selam jumped into headlines around the world this past September. Such momentous, fast-breaking stories can be the bane of monthly print magazines because long publication lead times dictated that we would not be able to share the story with our print readers in any detail until our December issue--an eternity in the 24/7 universe of modern media.
We therefore decided to launch an experiment that we had been contemplating for some time. Kate Wong immediately wrote a news story and posted it on Scientific American's Web site to coincide with the Selam announcement. But that post also invited readers to send us questions and comments, pointing out how they would like to see this story expanded for print. Wong also solicited remarks from leading paleoanthropologists and continued her own reporting.
Thus, Scientific American's coverage of Selam has continued to grow and evolve right up through the December issue deadlines--and will continue to grow after this page goes to press. Distilled into the print version is the best of what has come from this publishing experiment, but we encourage anyone who wants to explore those contents more fully to go to www.sciam.com/ontheweb.
Digital media are already revolutionizing many parts of the publishing industry. Physicists have been sharing preprints of their papers online for more than a decade; now even the professional journals are testing digitally enabled alternatives to traditional peer review. Wikis, social bookmarking and other online exercises in communal authorship have opened eyes to novel ways of creating quality content. We relish the possibilities of this new approach to publication and expect to do much more of it in future issues of Scientific American. In the meantime, please tell us what you think about it, too. Your feedback, after all, is what makes this idea work.

The PDA200C Photodiode Amplifier is ideally suited for ultra low noise amplification of very small photodiode currents. It offers six current ranges from 100 nA to 10 mA full scale and provides a maximum display resolution of 10 pA. The unit supports cathode grounded (CG) and anode grounded (AG) photodiodes. This amplifier may be operated in either photovoltaic or photoconductive mode. The adjustable bias voltage provides improved linearity of the responsivity and increased frequency response. This photodiode amplifier is compatible with all of Thorlabs' mounted photodiodes. Our SM05-threaded mounted photodiodes feature a female SMA connector; to convert to BNC either an adapter cable or electrical adapter may be used.
With the updated PDA200C Series, our Photocurrent Amplifier is RoHS compliant. Additionally, the current measurement ranges were changed. The rest of the features are virtually the same as the former PDA200 Series.
Input Range: 100 nA ... 10 mA
0 - ±10 V, Input Resistance should be ≥ 10 kΩ.

Alternate #2 Mixing Method For Bulk Form & Penetrate

Other Comments & Notes From Sinner, Celc5 etc
- Formestane is a super-potent AI and ph of hydroxy-test (which is a weak steroid)
- Recommendations are 80-120mg TD per dose, 2x/day
- I personally see almost immediate results with as low as 20mg/dose at 2x/day
- TheSinner says he has seen people go up to 400mg/day
- 4 weeks of use to stack in a cycle should be safe
- Since form is very dry, we agreed that this could potentially be a good idea to stack with a PP, max lmg (T, isn't that similar to propadrol?), wet compounds, or aromatizing steroids that may cause gyno
- If used for post cycle therapy, it should be ramped up and then tapered to avoid rebound. thesinner had less of a libido boost with form in post cycle therapy than he did with other experiences
- 4-Hydroxy Test (4-OHT) is only 65% as anabolic as Testosterone. This will cause some HPTA shutdown, but some believe it to be mild enough for use in Post Cycle Therapy
- Sinner says 84% reduction in estrogen from Form!!! The highest is Letro which is in the 90's

Stages of Addiction: Problem Use
As the disease gets worse, a person has less and less control over his or her substance use. At first, alcohol and other drugs can seem to make you feel better or help solve your problems. But that "I'm okay" feeling doesn't last. What does last are the problems that using causes. That's when substance use becomes abuse. The desire to use becomes a craving, and the person needs help to stop using.
You're Using More
You use more than you used to.
You need to use to feel okay.
Someone close to you has commented on how much you're using.
You have called in sick or been late to work because of a hangover.
You've been stopped for driving under the influence.
Use Becomes Abuse
Using becomes a problem when the substance begins to take control. You need to use more just to get the same feeling. You may start to have money problems or problems with your job or relationships.
Think about these statements:
I promise to cut down or quit, but I don't.
I'm using more, even when I'm alone.
I try to hide my use or feel embarrassed about it.
If this describes you, your use may have become abuse. This kind of substance use can also lead to the next stage: addiction. Changing your use may take time. And you may need help. But you can choose to cut down or stop now.

Neve and Gliz, the work of Portuguese designer Pedro Albuquerque, represent a snowball and an ice cube, two vital elements for the smooth running of the Olympic Winter Games. Each had its own character: Neve was gentle and elegant, while Gliz was lively and playful. Combining these two mascots represented the positive spirit of Italy and Olympism: friendship, enthusiasm, entertainment, design and innovation.

My wildest dream has just come true!!!! GoPro just announced the GoPro3! Three editions, white (hero1), silver (hero2) and the new BLACK (Hero3). All are half the size of current GoPro's. So the new body style replaces all the old GoPro's and housings. 30% smaller, 4x higher res, 3x faster photos, 25% lighter! Check out the Hero 3 specs for $399 we get a 4k camera! Hahah! 4K/15fps 2.7K/30fps 1440/48fps 1080/60fps 960/100 720/120 12MP Photo 30 shots in 1 second (plus many more burst settings where you can control how many shots in the burst and how long the burst lasts) WiFi Built in Remote Control Included (only on this model – remote is $79.95 by itself) – if you net out the price of the remote, the Black Edition is only $20 more than the Silver Edition. Advanced Features / Capture (Protune, White Balance, Continuous Photo, and Picture in Video – PIV capabilities) Improved Housing with flat lens as stock (for better underwater performance). I'm in heaven! Anybody want a brand new Hero2? I bought two Hero 2's last week, can you believe it! I'm upgrading the second they come out! |
Oct 16, 2012, 11:11 PM | |
It works natively with WiFi remote and WiFi app, no need for the wifi backpack! So you can control it either from your ipad or iphone from like 600 ft away, you can even see the image streamed to your mobile device! Or you can use a little remote control if you don't have a mobile device, which can control 50 cameras simultaneously!
Oh man, this is just TOO GOOD. |

Single layer, 100% cotton muslin sleeping bag. aden + anais sleeping bags are designed to be worn over a baby's pajamas, ensuring a safe night's sleep by eliminating loose crib blankets. These lightweight sleeping bags are perfect for keeping your baby at the right temperature, as muslin's light, open weave allows a baby's body temperature to regulate itself naturally, helping to reduce the risk of overheating. aden + anais sleeping bags offer the ultimate in breathability and softness, as the more the more you wash them, the softer they get. Each sleeping bag zips from the bottom, making diaper changes easy, and a strip of muslin over the zipper by baby's face provides extra comfort. aden + anais award-winning sleeping bags are the natural progression in sleepwear from our signature swaddling blankets.

Comments about aden and anais aden by aden + anais Sleeping Bag - Girls and Swirls - Medium:
My little girl is a fan of the texture from A&A products. She enjoyed being swaddled and then moved to the sleep sack. It is ideal for the summer and fall. We put her fleece sleeper under this for the first few winter nights and she slept really well. I would tell other first time moms to buy this product.

About Me Grandparent
I purchased this garment as a gift for my granddaughter. It was too hot to put her in a sleeper, but it cooled down at night, so her legs and feet would get chilly. This product was the perfect weight for summer sleeping. The quality of the sleeping bag is excellent. The zipper is designed for maximum baby comfort. It unzips from the bottom for ease in changing diapers. An added bonus, is the baby's feet no longer go between the slats of the crib! I have tried to think of something, anything, that needs improvement, but cannot think of anything. This is a product I will recommend to all parents and grandparents as an excellent shower or baby gift!
I would buy this product again

About Me First Time Parent
I have several of the aden and anais swaddle blankets that are great for swaddling newborns/infants. My daughter just started daycare and they no longer allow blankets in cribs so I decided to give the sleep sack a try......seems to be working well so far.
great for summer
By Lily
from Palo Alto, CA
Comments about aden and anais aden + anais Mod-Turtle Slumber Bag - Small:This is the best sleep sack for the hot summer. It allows my daughter to have just a body suit and the sleeping bag. She doesn't like to sleep with just a body suit or with just a PJ, she needs a sleep sack whatever the temperature and this one is so thin it's perfect !When it's not that hot, she wears body suit + PJ + this sleeping bag..Great quality like all the aden and anais products.Its only cons would be :* the zipper in the middle of the front, my daughter rolls over during the night and sleeps on her tummy and the zipper is not super comfortable* the colors, green, pink and tan, can't they be more original ?

My baby knows its bedtime when she has a sleep sack on and this is lightweight enough for hot summer nights.

Great product, perfect as substitution for blanket. Fabric is soft and breathable, this is a perfect item for summer when you have the air conditioner on in the house, but afraid the baby might get cold.

Jeff is right. We should implement an assault weapons ban so that this will never happen again. Just like it did the last time we had one. And once that is done, we should expand the gun free zones. Say extend it to the ghetto and around crack houses. Thus, no more gun violence. And should never, ever in a thousand years do a dang thing about mentally ill nut jobs and trying to put them in places where they can´t hurt people. Isn't the very definition of inanity doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result? Well, looks like we have proof positive that liberals are insane.
The only way to truly get rid of most the gun problem is to go house to house, searching for all weapons and confiscating them. Some will never be found and criminals and the mentally disturbed will somehow find a way to inflict pain on society, with guns or other means. When one is in pain, or if mentally disturbed they will cause pain on others by any means. We must identify the disturbed and see to it that they are treated properly or put them away safely and humanely.
An extremely irresponsible man is lecturing us here.I would prefer to see some legislation that restricts the First Amendment rights of Mr. Greenfield and his presstitute friends to lie with impunity. We have just been through an astonishing election cycle that was filled with spin, lies and corruption. most of which came from Greenfield and his ilk.Let´s put a stop to that.
It is refreshing to read most of the comments on Greenfield´s site; most blame mental illness or psychological treating drugs/meds. Perhaps there is a chance to protect our Second Amendment rights.
Let us never miss an opportunity to discoverif the tree of totalitarianismcan grow in the bloodof the innocent slain.
Anyone who thought that NØbama and the Demon-RATS didn´t have every intention of destroying the 2nd amendment and taking away guns from law abiding citizens as soon as the election results rolled in on November 6th, was truly living in a fantasy world.This most recent mass murder is just a very convenient excuse to get started.Our republic and our Constitution both died on 11-6-2012. This is just the continued rotting of the corpse that remains...
Neither our Republic, nor our Constitution died! We ARE, however, filled with enemies of State who are traitors to our Republic and willful violators of their oaths of office.If they were properly dealt with and held accountable we could return to a Constitutional Republic. Currently, there is a tyrannical enemy in the WH.
Wow! # 6 did you make that up? No sarcasm at all. I think that bit of Haiku is brilliantly stated.You can´t legislate away evil. The world is a dangerous place filled with evil people and no more evil people than those who would use the deaths of innocents to take away our liberty.
Since we´re taking a big cut from defense dept., let´s pass a law that says every elementary school must fire an assistant assistant principal in charge of diversity and condom distribution and hire one of the laid off soldiers to guard the school. Oh, and authorize them to use their full auto m-16´s....
Politicizing an event is not always a good thing, for example the Reichstag fire.If the liberal Northeast can´t pass effective gun control legislation then I would suggest that there is no such thing as effective gun control legislation.
Once again the MSM and the rest of the Democrats are using the blood of murdered children to try to score political points.
10,000 people die every year at the hands of drunk drivers.That´s already against the law in all 50 states isn´t it?
THANK you Jeff Greenfield. You reminded me that we SHOULD politicize the root cause of most of our current problems, Democrats. Using YOUR methodology, I´ve cited the time Democrats murdered all those black orphans in NYC. No, really, it happened, it was beyond belief, but only one of many examples of what the Democrats will do for power. Too harsh? What has the war on poverty done to all of us? Forget the shambles their open back door to the world´s most desperate, criminal, illiterate, dependent, class has done to our demographics. Just read about the purposeful horror that the Democrats cheered on. - http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/317749.html
Jeff Greenfield is a fat lazy nancy-boy and I couldn´t give a rip what he has to say about anything.
I think #10 has it right. There would be no more school violence.Congress thinks that passing a law fixes things. It also makes it look like they have some purpose in life. Which doesn´t seem to be the case right now.
Greenfield, Schumer, Bloomberg, Durbin, Feinstein, Emanuel, Boxer ..... Why are these people constantly on the radical left side of politics?Dennis Prager, a conservative Jew, sums it up this way:´If you believe that leftist ideas and policies are good for America and for the world, then you are particularly pleased to know how deeply Jews — with their moral passion, intellectual energies and abilities, and financial clout — are involved with the Left. If, on the other hand, you believe that the Left is morally confused and largely a destructive force in America and the world, then the Jews´ disproportionate involvement on the Left is nothing less than a tragedy — for the world and especially for the Jews.´
Let´s make drugs illegal too.
Want to know the worst ever school massacre: May 18, 1927 - Former school board member Andrew Kehoe set off three bombs in Bath Township, Michigan killing 45 people and wounding 58. Kehoe killed himself and the superintendent by blowing up his own vehicle.Didn´t need an assault rifle, did he? There was also a guy who attacked a school with insecticide and a flame thrower. Why don´t liberals get it that evil, crazy people are creative? Self-righteous, knee-jerk politicization of a crisis by taking away guns from innocent people (who want to protect themselves from evil, crazy people) is not the answer.
Disarm us like the Eastern European Jews of the 1930s. You first, suckers.
When will America wake up and do the right thing??Make it illegal to commit murder. What are we waiting on?
People that want to be destructive will find a way to accomplish their goal with whatever is at hand. Anyone seriously discussing this problem KNOWS there is no real solution. Lock up mentally ill people? We tried that and it was liberals that decided it was a violation of their rights. Now many of those are street people, unable to work or care for themselves and a threat to those around them. Can we identify WHICH of the Goth kids are dangerous? Nope. Can we fix them with treatment? Probably not. Will banning automatic weapons or even all guns stop them? No! If we were serious about trying to prevent deaths we would ban automobiles since 30,000 die in auto accidents every year, 5000 age 14 or under.But we have seen that this country has degenerated so far that results no longer matter. Politicians have become very good at talking about the things they are doing as successful, even when they are the opposite, and the public is dopey enough to go along with them. The politicians are simply playing to the dopes who just reelected them.
#20, et al, the LPs (libtards/Progtards) don´t ´get it´ because they aren´t about security - Oh, I know they bleat that talking point constantly, about security, safety and ´for the children´, but they are actually all about power and control. They use any means to get power and control. The LPs (aka socialists/communists/fascists/ etc) can´t do what they want to do to us until we as a nation are disarmed. They will not stop trying to overthrow the constitution until the day they die. You can´t reason with them. You can´t trust them. You can only eradicate them. They are made up of foreign and domestic enemies of the constitution and this Republic.BTW, burying weapons in the ground to hide them misses the point of having them. Hide them until what? The founders were quite clear about what true citizens of the Republic must do to those who pursue tyranny and seek to destroy the constitution. Those of you who think hiding weapons is the answer, I´d suggest you educate yourself by researching the writings and statements made by the founders of our Republic.For the treasonous quislings who claim the citizenry can´t deal with a much smaller number of soldiers - the populace contains millions of veterans who still know how to shoot, execute small unit tactics, handle crew-served weapons platforms, execute strategic plans, and so forth. The quislings hope those hearing them can´t think and will give up hope.
What a maroon. Jeff cites two fine examples of disasters that provoked changes in the behavior of people who did wrong. Therefore, the logical conclusion to his Newtown disaster scenario would be to bring legislation and restriction against crazy people who want to kill others. Instead, he wants the equivalent of preventing nails from being pounded into wood by outlawing hammers.I can live perfectly well without crazy people in my midst but don´t touch my weapons.
Adam Lanza had a Glock. Jared Loughner used a Glock. You know who sings about killing people with Glocks? Jay-Z - who is a big friend of our Dear Leader. Why don´t we start with getting Jay-Z to change his tune.
No. We should bury our dead. Don´t invite Greenfield to a funeral. He will blither on about some political agenda with no regard for the dead.
gun grabbers maintain the ONLY solution is THEIR solution.

Ay, but there is a difference between unable and unwilling.
Pound a Rhythm - - - lyrics??
I hear, "Put down the dollar bill, fool…"
Someone please tell me I am imagining this.
Vector for blood borne pathogens. HIV dies too fast upon contact with air, but Hepatitis C, methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus which colonizes people's nasal mucosa, the Neisseria strain that gives you fulminant meningococcemia and highly lethal meningitis that likes to establish itself in the nasopharynx - fair game.
Fucking weak, man. I was already having a shitty day.
Like dollar bills weren't dirty enough as they were.
The single dirtiest drug out there. Politically, economically, ecologically, sociologically, AND physiologically.
o Cocaine toxicity can cause a variety of cardiovascular sequelae including: cardiac dysrhythmias, coronary artery vasospasm, myocardial ischemia/infarction, and aortic dissection. The central nervous system is also commonly involved with seizures, intracranial hemorrhages/infarctions and hypertensive encephalopathy being common. Mesenteric ischemia can occur, as well as rhabdomyolysis.
Rhabdo is when muscle breakdown clogs up your kidneys inducing acute renal failure. It's not pretty. Your aesthetics may well differ from mine, but. Nothing about cocaine is pretty. Come meet the people with dilated cardiomyopathy and consequent congestive heart failure that come through the special revolving door entrance of the hospital on a daily basis. It's the saddest epidemic in this town.
... Really? Seriously?
And I was starting to get the strange sense that I'd been hanging out with the wrong people.
Man, bummer. I am imagining these lyrics, right? It's not really it, is it?
If it ~IS~, so then, is the song 'Train' talking about rails?
Man. What a let down. Speak of disturbing -
I recently saw a 38-yr old man, with no relevant medical history, literally drop dead in the Emergency Dep't. Sudden cardiac arrest from a massive heart attack. He died on November 13th, in Room 13 of the ED. His wife and daughter were in the room when resuscitation was finally stopped, after one whole goddamn hour. That was my first time telling a 12-yr old boy that his father had just deceased. It felt like SHIT to deliver the news, but I cannot imagine being on the receiving end. I step away from the dead man's room to try to shield myself from absorbing the pain of the man's wife holding his pulseless hand and shrieking in grief, and I look at the chart. (Because, surprise surprise, as it turns out, I'm an HSP…) Intellectualization = neurotic defense mechanism = psychological shield. The man's birthday was on New Year's Eve. On Dec. 31st, 1971. Barely 39 yrs old, not even. I look up and away thinking, "Too fucking young. No medical history. How can this be?... Who do I know around that age?" and my eyes land on the nearest computer screen, which is displaying an open internet browser—and the page open is the physicians' internal paging system, "SIMON WEB - On-Call Search."
Great, Simon. Good going. Way to take care of your heart.
Please tell me those aren't really the lyrics I'm hearing.
You know what? We actually live longer than 'a' day. We're actually ~still~ alive. Unless, of course, you take that "sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll" attitude to the grave, and knock yourself out.
I'd say you not only owe it to yourself but you also owe it to the 12-yr old boy who's been inspired by your music, to put down the goddamn dollar bill, fool.
Can someone please cheer me up and give me an alternative interpretation of these lyrics? I am totally imagining this, right? Just another figment of my imagination - for art creates itself in a silent, sterile vacuum, contrary to what they tell me - correct?

"In December, we finished the first (if you don't count the prototype) Nominet Trust Academy. A 16 week, one week on, one week off programme, for any Nominet Trust funded project to attend. The main purpose of the Academy was to create a learning environment that would build the capacity of participants' projects to be scaled and/or sustained.
As part of Internet Week Europe, education company General Assembly held a week-long event entitled European Buffet. My lovely funder for the Digital Assistant Academy, the Nominet Trust, kindly paid for me to attend the first day's event on Digital Business Models.
At the end of 2010, CDI Apps for Good received a grant from Nominet Trust to develop an e-learning and networking platform to support and scale the Apps for Good programme. The funding provided for an 18-month project scope and build of our organisation's first product. The project taught me valuable lessons about product management, particularly when building a product essential to your organisation's survival.

The nice and helpful staff and the excellent breakfast buffet make up for the other con's. For the cheapest rate we got a small room with the big disadvantage of having only a rather small window with only a tiny part of it openeable. Good part is that it was pretty quiet at all times. The other rooms seemed better.... More
