6 Cancer-Fighting Superfoods
This juicy fruit is the best dietary source of lycopene, a carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red hue, Béliveau says. And that's good news, because lycopene was found to stop endometrial cancer cell growth in a study in Nutrition and Cancer. Endometrial cancer causes nearly 8,000 deaths a year.
Helps fight: endometrial, lung, prostate, and stomach cancers
Your Rx: The biggest benefits come from cooked tomatoes (think pasta sauce!), since the heating process increases the amount of lycopene your body is able to absorb.
Next: Walnuts

The founder of Designer's Guild cooks a colourful lunch for friends
It may be winter outside, but inside Tricia Guild and Richard Polo's kitchen/living room it is springtime: lime-green walls, green glass table, orange and purple flowers, the splash of signature pinks and turquoise… It all seems to fuse through the glass and into the terraced garden beyond, creating the impression of one big space that says summer is coming.
It is hard to believe that it is almost 40 years since the first Designers Guild shop opened on the Kings Road, making its sensational statement of sumptuous colour and pattern. And gathered around the lunch table with the couple today

I notice Amazon UK is selling the Doctor Who Season 5 complete DVD with lenticular cover for £46 and the Limited Steelbook for £40.
Does anyone have any opinion on the better purchase as I'm looking for a gift for someone who only has DVD playback.
I think they are overpriced considering the previous seasons are less than half that amount.

'groundpulse' is syntfarm's new mobile unit that enables artists to perform with impulses gathered from the movement of the ground. The design of 'groundpulse' is based on the Lehman's seismometer principle. The unit is capable of detecting movements of the ground including: long distance earthquakes or short distance impulses produced by human bodies.
By exploring translations of soil movements into a synthetic world of real time visualization, syntfarm are developing a system, which can be used to enhance and make the experiences of natural environments more accessible to others. On display during ISEA09 in Belfast, Ireland at the SPARK exhibition.
Synthazards is featured in 'Smart Surfaces' a book for everyone who wishes to be inspired by the possibilities for innovative surface technologies. Edited by Thorsten Klooster and published by Birkhaeuser.

Synthazards are replicas of natural hazards. They are manufactured by using various rapid prototyping techniques, laser cutouts, and algorithms. In this project, Syntfarm are fabricating the following: earthquake, drought, whirlpool, lightning, volcano, tsunami, tornado and lava. The objects are celebrating mostly formal aspects of these phenomena. What is apparent in fabrications is a unique synthetic form, which is given-by algorithms and inscribed in the language of prototyping machines. Hosted by ICAS, the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore.

Syntboutique, Installation, Singapore 2008.
Syntboutique is a project by Syntfarm produced during the AIR program of ISEA08.
Syntboutique is a result of a trip and visit to Mongolian grasslands, steppes, desert, mountains and lakes. The mission was to find a number of objects/artifacts/living organisms that are of great importance for people living independently of information technologies, electrical energy, and consumerism; and to present those in art context. It is a specialized showroom that collects recipes, methods, myths and platforms for sustainable lifestyles that we are not used to. take a look.
Syntboutique, Objects, Singapore 2008.
Syntboutique objects were found on various sites in Mongolia. They were photographed and later with Syntfarm's custom written software used to generate 3d objects. These digital replicas were used to fabricate objects with rapid prototyping machine. In their synthetic forms, the objects released most of their 'meta' content. Their historical, cultural, economical or any other values were extracted and disconnected from them. The objects' meta content was showcased in commercials and tv-ad-style glorifications of the found artifacts. With various imperfections of the technologies used, they got new life and context.

The soil moisture sensor was displayed as one of the interfaces we added to an assortment of our performance instruments. Together with the sensor and 7 petri-dish that included Prague Soil samples, there was a video that documents our previous explorations.

Tamika Catchings lifts Indiana Fever past Tulsa Shock 78-76
TULSA (AP) -- Tamika Catchings scored nine of her 23 points in the fourth quarter, including the tiebreaking basket with 5.2 seconds remaining to lift the Indiana Fever past the Tulsa Shock 78-76 on Tuesday night.
Catchings, playing in just her second game this season after missing Indiana's first 17 contests due to a sore back, also had 11 rebounds and was announced as a starter for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game later this month.
Shavonte Zellous had 18 points for the Fever.
Skylar Diggins, announced as a starter for the West, scored 23 points for Tulsa.
The Shock trailed by 15 points in the fourth quarter before tying the score on Courtney Paris' layup with 16.7 seconds to go.
That set up Catchings' winning basket as she caught a pass from Erlana Larkins and made a layup.

I haven't written much about the TNDP lately, Bob Corker or politics in general lately. You may be thinking, thank the Lord or ummm … why?
I haven't had anything to say.
I will tell you that I'm really having to weigh the auto bailout's ramifications because this area will be impacted if they aren't helped out but on the other hand, I really hate to see bad business practices rewarded. However, I've been reading Don quite a bit who is a retired Goodyear worker and is our go-to guy in Hoots on VEBA, union questions and the like because he lives it. He retired from Goodyear after he had a heart transplant. And he is an activist when it comes to retiree rights. He's even been interviewed by Newsweek regarding retirees health benefits.
I saw a commercial out of Paducah this morning where if you buy one car, you get one free. I'm not kidding. What's that all about? And yesterday I had to get new windshield wiper blades (imagine me driving down the road with one dangling by a thread in freezing rain. Yeah, it happened) and the guy at the parts store said more people were taking better care of their cars because, he believed, folks were going to be in the same car for some time to come.
It's a confusing time where everything must be weighed seriously. Small actions turn into larger crisis. It's the snowball effect and we are dealing with an economic avalanche.
It's obvious to me that Corker is playing his power cards. And yet, I'm still torn about this bailout. The libertarian in me is like "HELL NO" but the person who wants the area that I live in to survive is like "Please help."
Goodyear also plays power games and they are making management moves in Akron. The UAW plays power games and lobbies like nobody's business. And then the subsidies that go to foreign automobile companies also make me pause.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everything is connected. Everything has a root system.
Last night I head some older guys talking about taking the train eight miles from one community to the next in the late 50s. There are no trains now here other than those just passing through. There are no buses. For some reason, I think this is significant.
So I have no answers this morning and I'm just thinking about how it is more than just one thing. It's many things. I said some nice things about Corker in the past but all I see is politics at play right now.
I'm pretty sure that 2009 is going to be a defining year for the area of this country I live in. Not just here, but everywhere. I wish it was easier to define what is black and what is white.
Instead, there is a great deal of gray.

Not bad
This review is from: Skullcandy Uprock Blue/Black S5URCZ-101 3.5mm Connector On-Ear Headphone (Blue/Black) (2011 Model)
Pros: Not a bad headset. Are of average sound quality, nothing special. I got these at Walmart for the same price, and they sound decent. Not a whole lot of bass, but I wasn't expecting an insane headset. Cancels noise well. They also use this awesome sleeving that absolutely refuses to tangle, which is awesome. They look really slick too, they have this nice glossy blue finish.
Cons: Light, could break easily, gotta be careful.
Other Thoughts: Can be ear damagingly loud, my speakers have adjustable sound control, so I keep windows sounds at 100% and adjust it with the speakers, and popped these in, and I almost lost my ears, along with my mini heart attack I had.

Pros: -Easily adjustable

It was one of the many games that used the peripheral that did not see a release outside of Japan. As with other Family Trainer games, the emphasis was on receiving a work out using the Famicom, a conceit that would later find greater success with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii Fit games.Specifically, Jogging Race is about jogging through areas of a simulated Tokyo using the pad to simulate the exercise. The background scrolls by slowly, accurately matching the scale of the distances found in the real location, and will occasionally include additional details like other joggers.There is also a second mode named Marathon, in which the player competes in a long distance race with other CPU runners.

The doctor came checked me over advised I had a viral infection and other than pain medication there wasn't much else I could do but rest and gargle salty water. After rest, sleep and lazing around I sucked it up and we went to the Big V's parents house for Christmas dinner, present opening and so forth. Not that I was a great participant but I did my best. Boxing Day rolls around and lets just say I was even more worse for wear, body aches, shivers, a throat so bad it took an hour to drink some tea.
Boxing Day night in the late, late hours I started to get an itch and red rash, I seriously thought it was my pant elastic irritating me. Come the morning hours of yesterday I had a bright red rash covering my torso, that was becoming aggressive. Off to my local doctors surgery explaining the events of the previous 48 hours, I was examined and promptly told I was presenting with Scarlet Fever. I was told I had to have injection of penicillin straight away and follow with a script. It was pointed out after the injection if my rash had not improved drastically in 4-6 hours to go straight to hospital. After several hours and a previous call to the doc I had to phone to speak to the doctor about another matter relating to my predicament. He asked if my rash had improved and I was informed I should take capsules straight away.
Fast forward several more hours things still hadn't improved and only worsened along with other matters and aliments. So I said to the Big V screw it I'm not calling back the doc (several more calls already made) just take me to hospital. Hospitals aren't a great place to wait around with little people and a husband who is meant to be on his rare holidays. So I asked him to just drop me at emergency and go home and look after our babies.
Fast forward through several hours of waiting, testing, doctors, several senior doctors, nurses, tests, swabs, bloods, scans, aliments worsening and some improving.......there are still no clear cut answers and balls are up in the air. Jury is out on what actually is wrong with me, I'm presenting with classic symptoms of Scarlet Fever then totally and quite possibly unrelated aliments. So I'm back home I'm not well, not 100% at all, I'm meant to be resting but that's still hard even with the Big V on holidays for a few more days, little ones at the ages we have are full on. So I'm here and I'm around sort of, I'll be blogging if and when I can. I've got a fair bit of rest time doing nothing, but that's not translating into getting posts and so forth done, but I'm trying.
So to finish up I just wanted to fill you all in on what has been happening. I hope you've all had a much more splendid Christmas then I have had. I'd love to hear about any vintage spoils you got, if you've posted about them leave me a link I'd love to check it out, give me something to fill in these resting hours. I'll post soon about my Christmas spoils, but until then take care everyone and enjoy whatever time you have left of your holiday season.

Fund managers ardour for gold is cooling as the threat of a catastrophic event in the world economy recedes and expectations of a gradual economic recovery grow, fuelling demand for other assets.
Gold prices have traded in a broad sideways channel between $1,525 and $1,800 an ounce since falling back from a record $1,920.30 in September 2011, and have repeatedly failed to break back above $1,700 this year.
A number of leading portfolio managers have reduced their exposure over the past year or plan cuts this year in response to the receding threat of a euro zone collapse or US debt default.
Economic data has improved recently in both the US and the euro zone. Although a Reuters poll this month still pointed to soft growth on both sides of the Atlantic in 2013, the world economy is expected to perform better this year.
That optimism is rejuvenating interest in other assets, such as equities. According to Lipper, net flows to US-based equity funds in the first two weeks of 2013 were, at $11.3 billion, the biggest fortnightly inflow since April 2000.
Commodity fund managers said this month that they currently favour industrial metals such as copper and iron ore, as well as platinum and palladium, over gold.
People are trying to understand whether we're in a recovery scenario, or whether there is another speed bump out there, Clive Burstow, a fund manager at Baring Asset Management, said.
I think you have to have an exposure to gold, because there are still headwinds... but you dont need as big an exposure as you did when you thought the world was ending. Burstow said he will probably trim his fund's exposure to gold over the next year.
Neil Gregson, manager of the JP Morgan Natural Resources Fund, still sees solid support for gold prices but said that he expects to hold or even reduce his funds holdings.
Our investments have already gone down on the gold side, Gregson said, estimating the fund's exposure to gold at about 24%, against 30% this time last year.
It's still a significant part of our portfolio, but looking at other miners, such as copper and iron ore, we think there are more opportunities there compared with gold.
The price of gold was driven sharply higher as monetary authorities around the world fought to stave off the worst effects of the financial crisis by dropping interest rates and flooding their economies with cheap money.
That benefited gold by

Brussels sprouts are thought to be able to reduce inflammation in the body, fight cancer and contain high levels of vitamin C. Bored of boiling or steaming them? Then try these recipes...
Brussels sprout and stilton soup
If you're bored of always serving sprouts plain, try them in soup. When blended, the soup turns naturally creamy and here you also get the tang from the blue cheese.Try other blue cheeses too, such as Roquefort and Danish Blue. Serves 2
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
300g Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and any tatty outer leaves removed
1 clove of garlic, chopped
600ml chicken or vegetable stock
30g Stilton cheese
Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan and soften the garlic and onion for about 5 minutes. Throw in the sprouts, stir well and then cook for 2 more minutes. Next, pour over the stock and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender. Blend with a stick blender and crumble in the Stilton. Taste for seasoning (the Stilton might make the soup salty so don't add salt unless you really need to) and serve with a little more Stilton crumbled over the top.

Brussels sprout and pancetta spaghetti
Crisp bacon and shredded sprouts work really well in this pasta dish; dredge it with a sprinkling of Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese before serving. Serves 2, generously.
150g spaghetti
1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil
70g Pancetta, cubed
100g Brussels sprouts
Cook the spaghetti in slightly salted, boiling water. Meanwhile, drizzle the garlic oil in a non-stick frying pan and set on a gentle heat. Tumble in the pancetta cubes and leave to turn golden and slightly crisp.
Wash and trim the sprouts and then slice them thinly. Once the pancetta has browned, add the shredded sprouts to the pan and toss thoroughly, cooking for about 5 minutes.
Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it, reserving half a mugful of the starchy cooking liquid. Toss the spaghetti into the pancetta and sprouts and add the reserved pasta water - this will stop the spaghetti sticking together. Serve, with plenty of Grana Padano or Parmesan cheese on top.

Indian fried rice with sprouts
Sprouts give texture, colour and flavour to this Indian fried rice, which is easy and quick to make. Perfect for using up any leftover rice from the night before, too. Serves 2
1 tbsp curry paste (we used Patak's Korma)
1 tsp vegetable oil, if needed
100g Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and sliced
120g leftover Basmati rice
fresh coriander, for serving
Heat the curry paste in a large non-stick frying pan - add a little vegetable oil if your curry paste is too dry. Once everything is sizzling, add the sprouts and stir fry for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften but still hold their shape.
Stir in the leftover rice, coating each grain in the spiced oil, cooking until the rice is piping hot throughout. Taste for seasoning - adding salt, pepper or chilli flakes if needed - and serve in warmed bowls with fresh coriander leaves scattered on top.
Roasted Brussels sprouts
We've all steamed, boiled or pan-fried sprouts, but have you ever roasted them? Roasting gives them a soft texture and a slightly sweet flavour. You can also add chopped streaky bacon to the roasting tray too, if you like. Serves 3-4, as a side dish
200g Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and cut in half
2-3 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
sea salt and black pepper
Arrange the halved sprouts on a shallow roasting tray and drizzle with the olive oil, making sure the sprouts are well coated. Season with a little salt and pepper and then slide into a 200ºC oven and leave to roast for around 20 minutes - giving them a shake half way through cooking - until they are soft but slightly browned on the outsides. Scatter with a few more sea salt flakes just before serving. If you like, serve them with a blue cheese dip, garlic mayonnaise or some sour cream mixed with snipped chives.

Regulators seized City Bank of Lynnwood Friday and turned its banking assets over to Whidbey Island Bank in Coupeville.
Regulators seized City Bank of Lynnwood on Friday and turned its banking assets over to Whidbey Island Bank in Oak Harbor.
The move comes a month after City Bank, which had assets of $1.1 billion and lost $119.5 million in 2009, disclosed its troubles were even deeper than first reported. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. gave it until April 10 to raise new capital or sell itself to another bank.
City Bank was the state's 14th largest, with eight branches and five loan offices from Puyallup to Mukilteo. Its primary regulators were the Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) and the FDIC.
It marks the state's fifth bank failure this year, and the nation's 50th. Regulators closed seven banks in other states on Friday. In a bank failure, depositors' money is insured up to $250,000 per account by the FDIC.

City Bank's branches will reopen Saturday as Whidbey Island Bank, which has 18 branches in the Puget Sound area. The parent company, Washington Banking Co., is publicly traded.
City Bank customers can continue writing checks, using online services and ATM and debit cards as usual, and loan customers should continue making payments as usual, regulators said. They will hear from the new owner when it has integrated the banks' computer systems so they can use Whidbey Island Bank's branches.
Inadequate capital and severe loan losses caused the closure, DFI said.
"These are exceptionally challenging economic times for those community banks focused on commercial real-estate land acquisition and construction lending," DFI Director Scott Jarvis said.
City Bank's branches are just south of Whidbey Island Bank's existing network, and there is no overlap, the new owner said in a news release. It said it hopes most City Bank employees, about 150, will be able to stay.
"The fewer layoffs and branch closures, the better, from our perspective," said Brad Williamson, director of banks at DFI.
Whidbey Island Bank acquired 70 percent of City Bank's deposits and 60 percent of its assets, excluding about $328 million in brokered deposits, $180 million in foreclosed real estate and $132 million in nonperforming loans. The deal includes about $425 million in loans, less than 12 percent of them in construction and development.
On a percentage basis, City Bank had foreclosed on more real estate as of September than any other Washington bank: more than 10 percent of its assets.
"The bank had been hugely impacted by the downturn in the real-estate market," Williamson said. "For the last 18 months, they have written off tens of millions of dollars."
Founded in 1961, Whidbey Island Bank will have 26 branches in six counties in Northwest Washington after the acquisition.
While most of Washington's 90-some banks and thrifts are at least reasonably healthy, more than two dozen are operating under some degree of enhanced regulatory oversight.
The FDIC's other bank seizures Friday included three in Florida, two in California and one each in Massachusetts and Michigan.
Last year, 140 banks failed in the U.S. That was the highest annual number since 1992, the peak of the savings and loan crisis. The failures last year cost the FDIC's insurance fund more than $30 billion.
Twenty-five banks failed in 2008 and three in 2007. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair has predicted bank failures to peak this year and be slightly more than in 2009.

This review is from: ASUS 90-YAA0E0-0UAN00Z 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Xonar Essence ST Sound Card
Pros: Sounds fabulous. Low jitter clock.
Cons: Software. Construction quality is lacking compared to Claro Halo. Components on Claro Halo are much higher quality. Lots of cracks and pops than Claro Halo.
Other Thoughts: People said this card is significantly better than Claro Halo because this card output much louder sound than the Halo. Other than louder sound, no much different in terms of sound quality. The construction no doubt Halo wins hands down, you can immediately tell which board is made in China by looking at the PCB. But the sound quality is superb despite the build quality issue.

This review is from: ASUS 90-YAA0E0-0UAN00Z 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Xonar Essence ST Sound Card
Pros: I have had this card (didn't buy from newegg) for ages and have never felt that the construction was sub par. This other guy must be on disability or something because ALL SOUND CARDS ARE BUILT ON PCB. How can one sound could possibly have better build quality than another?? Why does it even matter? Isn't the sound what's important?
Cons: none.

Not Sure About This Purchase
This review is from: ASUS 90-YAA0E0-0UAN00Z 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Xonar Essence ST Sound Card
Pros: Direct Power
Cons: Construction Quality is Disappointing
Other Thoughts: I was a little disappointed with this purchase. As mentioned above, it came with a driver disc for Vista and XP and I had to go online to get the software. Am I being sold old stock? I have a Claro Halo XT in my home theater computer and wanted something different and simpler for the office so I went with this for my ASUS mb office rig, f. The quality of construction on the Claro is a lot better - it's more substantial feeling despite the RF shield on the Asus. The Claro also has audiophile grade line out jacks, which the ASUS lacks. The sound quality seems to be about the same - I read reviews insisting that the PCI version of the Xonor Essence was better than the Claro, but I have not heard a difference. It's definitely better than the motherboard sound but then it better be. I do like the Music (Note) setting on the software, but I am wondering if I am just getting the digital version of the old loudness button on a 70s receiver. I will go back to Claro for my next sound card.

Average Customer Review: based on 51 reviews.Rating: Accurate Weight & Fits Weight Belt Pockets
I weigh 270 lbs and plan to free dive. I am wondering how much weight I can use to keep myself at the bottom while diving and metal detecting I have a air supply that will allow me to stay under without air tanks.
What metal is used? Does it rust? How quickly? Before I might think about replacement (staining clothes, bags, etc)? Can these be used in swimming pool too? How can I keep the metal from rusting too quickly?
I use my wet suit for swimming in a pool but find that the bouyancy makes it tough. How much weight should I add to hold myself down and why kin of system or belt do I need for this?
I have a specific ballast need for lead shot, and it is difficult to find lead shot in small weight quantities such as 2lbs. I would like to know the diameter of the shot being used in your weight bags to determine if it is suitable for my application. Thanks
Hi again, my application limits the diameter of the shot I can use, not the shape. I would use the lead shot weights inside the bag without the bag. Thats why I am interested in finding out the diameter of the shot in the bag. Thanks
Is it possible to fit three of the five pound XS soft lead shot bags on each side of the releaseable weight pouches on my Tusa Conquest BCJ 7000? Also, will the five pound weights fit into the trim pouches?
The Tusa BCJ 7000 is designed to have 20 lbs releasable weight & 10 lbs in the trim. So you could fit two 5lb shot weights in each of the front releasable pockets, and one 5lb shot weight in each of the trim pouches.
Hello Jeffrey, no the weight pockets are only designed to hold 10 lbs each side. If you put more than that in them they might not fit into the BC correctly. As for the trim weight pockets yes they are designed to hold 5lbs each. For a total of 30 lbs.

Strategy Analytics' prediction for mobile phone sales growth in 2013 contrasts with a 1.7 percent decline in mobile phone sales last year, according to Gartner stats.
"Tough economic conditions, shifting consumer preferences and intense market competition weakened the worldwide mobile phone market this year," said Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner.
Global smartphone shipments surged more than 38 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the same quarter in 2011, according to Strategy Analytics.
Samsung and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) led the way, but Sony's Xperia, LG's Optimus and Huawei 's Ascend series are gaining traction. The top 10 smartphone families accounted for more than two-thirds of smartphones shipped worldwide during the quarter, according to Strategy Analytics.

The Gallery of Han Paintings is located in the Longshou area of Wolong Mound which is in the southwest of Nanyang City, Henan Province. Its back is on the Wolong Mound and its front part is to Baihe River. And it is linked with Wuhou Temple by the north. The road of the gallery in front of the gate is connected with the southern road of train station by the east and Wolong Road by the north. So the Gallery of Han Paintings has superior location and convenient transportation.
The Gallery of Han Paintings was first built in 1935 and rebuilt in 1976. The present gallery was built on December 27th, 1999. The whole Gallery of Han Paintings covers more then 80mu. The exhibition building with grand scale is the main building in the courtyard. It covers 6000 square kilometers. The figure of the exhibition slightly assumes "T"style. The entire exhibition hall covers totally 2000 square kilometers including 11 exhibition halls. Stone carved portrait of Han Dynasty in Nanyang is the subject exhibition. They can be divided into ten parts according to the content of the exhibitions. They are the Qiantian hall, the productive labor, construction art, the historical story, the social life, the riding and hunting, the astronomy and myth, the wrestling, dances and dramas and the worshipping the immortal by dispelling disease

Extreme Gardening II
The Real World Consultant has been by – he has been laying the groundwork for a forthcoming Scottish Opera tour, and is taking a quiet weekend before the singers turn up and they all hit the road on Monday. He thoughtfully brought along a collection of weird seeds: The incipient Rayburn Rain Forest has now been augmented by musa coccinea (scarlet banana), musella lasiocarpa (dwarf Chinese banana) and strelitzia nicolai, which is the one which grows thirty feet high. All of the above are sitting soaking in coffee cans (the musella is in one labelled 'a present from Cullen'), and will be consigned to compost tomorrow. Every last one of them is of course, temperamental and erratic; the strelitzia comes with a warning that it may germinate 'up to 12 months from sowing') and what I will do if they actually DO germinate I am not entirely sure. Hope, I suppose, that by the time the little wretches start reaching for the skies, I will be able to afford accommodation for them. But there remains a sort of mad poetry in the idea of growing bananas in Aberdeenshire, where it's too cold even to grow a decent apple.
This has been the day of the Great Melt; the snows of few days have sogged and resolved themselves into mere wet; I reflect as I often do at this time that never, even after weeks of rain, does the terrain seem quite as soggy as it does when the snow has just gone; somehow the process of slow melting turns the topsoil into a saturated jelly. My scarf has not yet reappeared.

Healing and Transformation Through Self Guided Imagery
by Leslie Davenport
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I've been using self-guided imagery for that past 40+ years and I can attest that it works but like anything else we need to be diligent. And even more so, we need to accept the end result as our own truth and wisdom. I've also assisted many others in imagery with remarkable results from completely removing a cancerous tumor to manifesting careers, relationships, and money.
Leslie Davenport in her book "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery" provides interested people the whole gamut: explanation of how and why it works, history, case studies and guided imagery. Beginners will find Davenport's book extremely helpful in understanding the basics and incorporating them into their own lives. Those that already use imagery or professionals that guide others will find additional information to add to their present tools. I particularly liked her encouragement to use imagery with "open eyes." This dispels the notion that imagery can only be done with closed eyes.
I encourage anyone that is looking for an alternative or to compliment conventional healing or manifestation to consider this book. Being open to another tool will in itself open up the heart to universal possibilities.

The development communities generally appreciate (and some give several prizes) big projects that have too many things customized and too many things to do, specially the visual part that have a instant effect on attracting people. These projects generally took ages and need a big team to do, and when some members give up for some reason (even stupid ones) the team fall apart. These people prefer to focus their time more disseminating their games than making it. In this forum we can see some project that have more than a thousand of replies and no even a demo.
I prefer the development methodology of making the game and latter add features and custom things on it, so if you give up you have an average game rather than a demo full of custom things.

And so, in five swift weeks, from listing to the sale of the boat, a chapter in our lives has closed and with antisipation, we await what might lie ahead.
In Ft Lauderdale we listed our Blessed Spirit and turned her North thinking that it may take her quite some time to sell and she would be on the hard in Maine for who knows how long. We wanted to be certain that we would be able to care and maintaian her as we have for the past fourteen years so the decision was to keep her close by in Maine. However, when we got to Annapolis we had a buyer and she was sold.
The new owners, Craig and Carol, from New Hampshire, plan to sail her in Maine in summers and then explore the Bahamas in the winter months just as we have. The decision on the name has not been made but "Blessed Spirit" is being considered so keep an ear out for her on the VHF!.
In any case, it is our sincere wish that all of our friends that have helped, taught and welcomed us so lovingly, continue that warmth to our new friends Craig and Carol. They are wonderful people and are experienced sailors.
As for us.... I will put my arm affliction at the top of the "to do" list and follow up on all possible help that might alliveate the pain. Tita will paint, garden and cook and have our house in superb shape as to welcome all our cruising friends that choose to head to Maine. We have a dock and now a spare mooring ball. We also have Demitasse, our 30 foot Cape Dory Motor Sailor to take you cruising the coast of Maine.
We will miss the sand, the gin clear water, the palms and those we have met from the Islands. But most of all we will miss the comradery and friendship of those with whom we have cruised over the last many years.
God bless, be safe and please come visit if you are any where close to Boothbay ME. We have plenty of room and love to share our beautiful water views and good food and fun with all our friends.
Corning, Tita and Demi
P. S. Please go to www.sailblogs.com/member/demitasse and follow our Maine adventures
I'm sure it must be bittersweet, but congratulations on the quick sale! We'll be watching for Demitasse on the water
I hope that your doctor will turn things around for you and get you feeling better, and that you'll have a good summer with lots of time on the water.
i doubt if you remeber it but my first year out i was single handing and you kinda adopted me for a couple of days -
i will never forget that as it was you that helped me become a real cruiser
i can not thank you enough
take care and i hope you get some medical help with the arm
Welcome home to Maine and life is good here too.
I'll keep a lookout for Blessed Spirit on the water.
There are many memories that will never go away. Let's make some more.
& Demi too,
How forunate we were to meet you when we did! Your last season in the Bahamas and our first. What a Blessing you were too! From Corning brainstorming with Pete about battery issues to Tita teaching me how to make really good Thai curry to Demi making us smile big smiles even after we left her company! Your adventurous and generous Spirit is a Blessing to us all, no matter which boat you are on or if you are sharing your beautiful Maine home with us. Thank you for a wonderful friendship! Fair Winds from the Coyote crew, Pete and Sari Goodmonson.
Just before we got to mile 0 on the ICW, I had to go under a new bridge with 135' of clearance above the water. Since our mast is 63.5' above the water, the clearance below the bridge which was under construction was a breeze compared to going under the 40 or so bridges with 65.0' clearance.
But..... this piece of concrete was about 300 feet long, 4 lanes wide and 135 feet above the water teetering on a single colume. Yes, the crane had a small line connected to one end, but if the wind suddenly blew hard, would the crane have been effective? All I could think of was "Humpty Dumpty" as we went under the new span.
Anyway we went through with no problem and now we are sitting at Mile 0 staged up to fly off on a buisness trip for a few days.
Blessed Spirit was officially put on the market and given to David Walters Yachts two weeks ago and so many of you have understood our sadness and expressed your empathy toward this big move in our lives. Unfortunately, because Corning's arms are not getting any better, we need to scale down for safety reasons. I would like to quote what my sister, Joan, had to say as she hit the nail on the head. "I looked on the blog and saw the "For Sale" sign on the boat picture. It must be very hard for you and Corning. Of course if you could sell your experiences while sailing on the boat---that would be priceless. Not to mention the friends you two made. In fact, whenever I read the blog, Corning always wrote about the friends. Those things that last are in the heart and no one can sell it or take it away from you. I like the sign in my vet's office that says --There are no strangers here, just friends we have not yet met "
That saying Corning and I have heard countless times and it must apply especially to cruisers as some of the best friends we have were the friendships formed during our cruising years.
To see what we are giving up and to see on what we have spent our years of cruising, please "cut and paste" the following into your browser.
For full details with photos, don't just do the photo gallery on the first page but click on "View Listing".
If you know some one who is looking for a boat like Blessed Spirit, tell them to check her out on the website. We are offering a 5% referral fee to you should that lead to the sale of Blessed Spirit, BUT "we" must be the ones to pass the name on to David Walters.

Jury selection continues in trial of Oklahoma City teen accused of setting fatal fire
Jury selection will continue Tuesday in the trial of a teenager accused of setting a fire that killed a couple, after the boy's attorney rejected an offer from prosecutors to settle the case.
Tristan Owen, 17, of Oklahoma City, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson in the July 13, 2011, death of Boyd Haynes, 87, and his wife, Doris Haynes, 86.
A judge previously ruled Owen can be sentenced as an adult if convicted of the murder charges. He faces life in prison if jurors find him guilty of murder.
If Owen is acquitted on the murder charges and convicted on the arson charge, he can only be convicted as a youthful offender, the judge ruled.
If convicted as a youthful offender, Owen could be held in a juvenile treatment facility only until five months after his 18th birthday. However, he also could be ordered to prison if he fails to complete a treatment plan.
Neither prosecutors nor Owen's attorney would comment on the offer. A source close to the negotiations told The Oklahoman it was 10 years in prison and 10 years probation. Attorneys negotiated outside the courtroom while more than two dozen potential jurors waited inside.
Boyd and Doris Haynes died of smoke inhalation.
They were sleeping in the bedroom of their south Oklahoma City home when the fire started shortly before 4 a.m. Owen, who was 15 at the time, lived nearby with his grandparents and his mother.
He is accused of starting a fire inside a trash container outside the couple's garage that spread to the structure, a fire official testified during the boy's preliminary hearing in October 2011.
Owen has denied setting the deadly fire but told detectives he did play around with two Molotov cocktails that broke on the street. His attorney, Francis Courbois, has said the judge should have dismissed the case, citing "nonexistent evidence."

Well here's an interesting development. Wired Magazine has published the full text of some of the documents that Mark Klein has provided against AT&T. The court had placed a gag order on the Electronic Frontier Foundation to prevent the information from being released to the public, ostensibly because it contained proprietary technical information, which, if released, would harm AT&T's business. Apparently, "How To Spy On Americans" is a trade secret. Wired released the documents anyways, claiming that they "believe the public's right to know the full facts in this case outweighs AT&T's claims to secrecy."
According to Wired, since the gag order applied only to "the EFF, its representatives and its technical experts," and not to Mark Klein or any of the other news agencies, Wired was free to release the information they had. I'm not a lawyer of course, but I have a funny feeling that AT&T may try to sue anyways.
The interesting part though, is not that Wired released the documents. The interesting part is that, so far as I can tell, Mark Klein's evidence basically consists of "AT&T installed a Narus STA 6400 in Room 641a." Which basically doesn't mean anything unless you know what a Narus STA 6400 is.
First, a bit of explanation of how the Internet works. The vast majority of internet traffic is transferred using a protocol called TCP, or Transmission Control Protocol. TCP works by splitting up the data that needs to be sent between two computers into "packets" — smaller chunks of information that are sent independently and reassembled on the other end. This allows for reliable communication across unreliable network infrastructure, because, if one packet is lost in transmission, and the receiving computer doesn't acknowledge that the packet was received, the sending computer will automatically resend the data. That way only that tiny chunk of data will have to be resent instead of the whole thing. Even better, packets don't have to be sent directly from the sending computer to the receiving computer. The underlying protocol for TCP — IP, or the Internet Protocol — allows packets to be relayed between several different computers before arriving at the final destination computer.
Now, back to the whole spying business… If you want to spy on everybody, everywhere, there's really only one way to do it. You need to function as a man-in-the-middle. And if you want to do that, you need to locate the major hubs of communication and tap into them. This sort of thing is much simpler with circuit-switched networks (such as standard telephone calls) because all the information is basically sent in one go, across a single route for the whole transmission. But with packet-switched networks (the Internet), because they break everything up into chunks of data, if you want to get at that information, you have to first reassemble the packets.
Which is where the Narus STA 6400 comes in apparently. From what I can gather (there's not much information to be had on the thing, for obvious reasons), Narus's "Semantic Traffic Analyzer" technology reassembles the packets back into the full data that was sent, and is able to identify exactly what type of data it is, whether it be email, VOIP/Skype, P2P/filesharing, web-browsing, instant messaging, or streaming media.
Now, of course, there are plenty of reasons why a carrier would install one of these things, and by itself, evidence that AT&T had installed one probably wouldn't mean anything illegal was going on. But there's only one obvious reason the NSA would install one inside a secret room in a carrier's headquarters. And that's why Mark Klein is now the key witness for the EFF in their class-action lawsuit against AT&T for illegally working with the NSA on warrentless wiretaps.
What makes this whole thing especially alarming though, is that by tapping into AT&T, the NSA actually has access to much more than just AT&T customers's data. Qwest was apparently the only major US telecom company that refused to work with the NSA on this program. So let's say you're a Qwest customer. You instant message a friend of yours who, unfortunately, is an AT&T customer. Because of the nature of IP routing, your traffic may very well have been routed through the NSA's no longer very secret room even though you have no relationship with AT&T at all. According to Wired, ConXion, Verio, XO, Genuity, Qwest, PAIX, Allegiance, AboveNet, Global Crossing, C&W, UUNET, Level 3, Sprint, Telia, PSINet and Mae West were all compromised as a result of the fiber optic splitters that were installed at AT&T. The claim that this is targetted surveillance is growing much harder to believe, .
By the way, Narus, by their own admission, is a <sarcasm>really delightful company</sarcasm>. They also appear to be the guys who are supplying the equipment that allows telecoms to stomp all over the concept of "net neutrality" and it seems that they're the ones supplying the Voice Over IP identification and blocking equipment. (They help block VOIP to prevent "revenue leakage" of course.)

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides acquisition guidance for cool roof products, which are an ENERGY STAR-qualified product category. Federal laws and requirements mandate that agencies meet these efficiency requirements in all procurement and acquisition actions that are not specifically exempted by law.
Most manufacturers display the ENERGY STAR label on complying models. For a model not displaying this label, check the manufacturer's literature to determine if it meets the efficiency requirements outlined by ENERGY STAR.
Meeting Efficiency Requirements for Federal Purchases
Visit the ENERGY STAR website for the most up-to-date coof roof product efficiency levels and product specification information, and a list of qualified cool roof products.
Buying Cool Roof Products
To reduce cooling costs, be sure to specify roof products that meet the recommended levels, whether buying from GSA or through a contractor. All products with the ENERGY STAR label meet efficiency requirements.
The Federal supply source for roof products is the General Services Administration (GSA), which offers them through Federal Supply Schedule 56-IV(A), "Construction and Building Materials."
These requirements apply to all forms of procurement, including guide and project specifications; construction, renovation, repair, energy service, operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts; lease agreements; and solicitations for offers. Energy performance requirements should be included in all evaluations of solicitation responses. Buyers shall insert the standard clause from FAR section 52.223-15 into contracts and solicitations that deliver, acquire, furnish, or specify energy-consuming products for use in Federal facilities. Agencies can claim an exception to these requirements through a written finding that no ENERGY STAR-qualified or FEMP-designated product is life-cycle cost effective for a specific application.
Buyer Tips
The three properties to look for when selecting a roof material to reduce building cooling load are:
- High solar reflectance
- Endurance of high reflectance over time
- High emittance.
The ENERGY STAR program presently considers reflectance only, not emittance. High emittance lowers roof temperature by increasing the release of heat by thermal radiation. To ensure a high-emittance roof, avoid unpainted metal roofs and aluminum coatings. If installing a metal roof, make sure it is painted a light color (not with a clear coating).
User Tips
Choose an installer carefully to ensure proper installation of a roof product or roof coating that will maximize durability and solar reflectance. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) provides some helpful advice in its "Guidelines for Selecting a Roofing Contractor" (available on the NRCA website). Roofs should be properly examined at regular intervals and maintained or cleaned when necessary and appropriate to assure the maximum solar reflectance.
Finding More Information
Federal supply sources are the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). GSA sells products through its Multiple Awards Schedules and GSA Advantage! DLA offers products through the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia and DOD EMALL.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory provided supporting analysis for this acquisition guidance.

Tell me about yourself.
I live in Massachusetts with my wife and two daughters. My wife is originally from Illinois, so when we moved up here together after a brief stint in South Carolina. She really helped me re-appreciate all that's wonderful up in New England. And of course, seeing absolutely everything anew through my daughter's eyes has been nice, also. I like to exercise, travel and make my girls laugh even if it involves personal injury (running too fast behind the family car, bonking my head).
What is Upload about?
Streaming torrents of data and information are being uploaded every second. My main character, Jay Brooks, accidentally dips his technological fishing line into the wrong stream, and at the wrong time. Jay quickly finds himself at the center of a deadly conspiracy. With his mother recently deceased, and father so remote as to seem also deceased, he has no choice but to fight his way through to the truth, with the help of his best friend hacker, Bennie, and Bennie's sister, Chloe.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
Right after I gave up magic, as a boy. I wasn't a horrible magician, but I recognized early on that I lacked the on-the-spot finesse required, the large personality and the charisma required to carry off the cooler tricks. My trembling fingers inevitably let the pea slip out from the shell, splashed too much salt on the card deck to hold my place, scratched an obvious amount of crayon on my fingernail (these are real tricks!). I wanted to be a magician because I wanted to be behind the scenes of all this enchantment. I was wowed by it. Similarly with writing—I could study the inner workings of very good literature, and if I tried, produce some bit of it myself. But writing has a major advantage over magic: a somewhat more agreeable audience that waits patiently as you attempt over several tries to produce that rabbit you had promised.
Did you learn anything from writing Upload? If so, what did you learn?
I learned small technological goodies while researching what I needed to. But my greatest learning came after the first few drafts, when I became engaged with the talented editors at Red Adept. With their help, I was able to structure and neaten my story, and eventually learn neat tricks I could perform while structuring my story. Something akin to the riffle shuffle with cards.
What do you like most about writing a thriller?
I really did enjoy the act of writing this thriller as visually as possible. I imagined each and every scene as I would hope to see it on the movie screen. I can also be a big cagey, and I think that can help in writing a thriller that has some twists and turns. I get to type with one hand and snicker up the sleeve of the other.
What are you currently reading?
I tell people this and I bore them to death with it. I'm currently re-re-re-reading The Gift by Nabokov. Between lighter stuff, I like to read Nabokov's works in chronological order, over and over again, because I get something new and fantastic from it each and every time.
Do you have any advice for fellow writers?
Momentum is key. I say for first drafts, write as freely as possible—just keep going. It's like running, you take your next step into the air, not quite knowing where your foot will land, but you have to have confidence it will, and you'll do fine.
Where can we find you?

Associated Press Release
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a maintenance man used a man's ATM card before calling 911 after finding him dead or dying in a Gainesville apartment.
The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/18Mjax4 ) reports police learned about the theft three weeks after J.W. White died on July 1. The man's brother called authorities after finding an ATM transaction on White's Bank of America account minutes before paramedics arrived at the apartment.
Police arrested 52-year-old Clarence Davis Monday. He remains in the Alachua County Jail on $5,000 bail.
Video footage shows Davis checking the balance and making two withdrawals from White's account for $611.90. Davis told police he had permission to withdraw the money to pay rent and other bills for White.
Police say Davis admitted to using the money to restore the apartment to re-rent it.
