Celery Seed Description from Nature's Herbs
Nature's Herbs Premium Quality Celery Seed is cultivated from the wet lowlands of India. Its Latin botanical name, Apium, is purported to be taken from a prehistoric Indo-European word for water. If that's true, it is entirely appropriate since Celery grows best in wet and salty soils, swamps and marshes. Indian specialists in the 17th century developed the familiar stalk celery we eat today from this wild plant.

Walking from Kyushu to Honshu.
At the closest point, the islands of Kyushu and Honshu are a mere 700 meters apart. The narrow channel called Kanmon Straits is a very busy waterway with about 600 ships a day passing through it.
In 1973 the two islands became connected by the Kanmonkyo Bridge which carries traffic across its central span of 712 meters, and not far away is the Kanmon Railway Tunnel, the first undersea tunnel in Japan, but underneath the Kanmonkyo Bridge is the Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel.
Connecting Mojiko on the Kyushu side with Shimonoseki on the Honshu side, the tunnel is a little over 700 meters long, and can be walked in 10-15 minutes.
It's a very popular walk, with many people simply walking from one side and back again, collecting the stamp at either end, but many people make a round trip by connecting with the ferry that runs from Shimonoseki to Mojiko.
The tunnel entrance in Mojiko is about a 15 minute walk from the main tourist attractions in the centre of Mojiko, which is where the ferry runs from. Next to the entrance is Mekari Shrine, the northernmost shrine in Kyushu.
On the Shimonoseki side a ropeway up Hinoyama offers stunning vistas over the straits. The ferry and main tourist attractions of Shimonoseki are a 20 minute walk or bus or taxi ride.
Entrance to the tunnel is free for pedestrians, but there is a 20 yen charge for people who want to push their bicycle or moped through.
Open daily, 06:00 to 22:00.

Continuing on my search for that perfect Bak Kut Teh in Puchong, I went to this place called Yap Chuan Bak Kut Teh after much recommendation from friends and blogs. Using the GPS, it led me to this place using the back roads with lots of traffic lights. Upon reaching only I knew that it's actually very near the Yong Tau Foo place I had last time! And there's a much easier way to get there! *LOL*
Teapot and cups
As usual with most Klang-style BKT, teapot and cups are on every table. Upon sitting, we're presented with an array of Chinese tea to be chosen from. We chose the 'kuk pou' or Chinese tea with chrysanthemum. Self-service, mind you. So look for hot water situated sparingly in water thermos.
Piping hot Chinese tea
Thermos pot for hot water
Also not to be forgotten is the big container for garlic and chilli. You can have as much as you want here, provided you're prepared for the unpleasant after-meal breath. *LOL*
Bird's eye chilli
Interior of restaurant
I was there with my family who came down from Kampar to visit. Since they're more of the traditional BKT type of people, I wasn't being so adventurous with ordering Dry BKT for them. I only tried with one portion first, and luckily, it paid off to stay on the safe side. For it turned out that they were not used to the Dry BKT taste and didn't quite enjoy it as much as the wet. For me, I thought the Dry BKT here was much better than the soup version. It was slightly spicy, and with a strong fragrant that was pretty appetizing.
Dry Bak Kut Teh (RM10/portion)
Of course, to make up for that, I ordered 2 pots of Wet/Soup Bak Kut Teh of 3 portions each! *gasp* My grandma specifically requested for pork innards, pork belly and pork ribs. I, of course, asked for lean meat and beancurd sheet (fu chuk). The pot for 3 portions came to be like this:
Wet Bak Kut Teh at 3 portions size (RM9/portion)
I must say I was a little disappointed with the soup version of the BKT. I'm not sure if this was the standard in general or it only happened that day, but the taste was too strong on liquorice root (kam chou/gan cao), rendering the taste to be slightly bitter. The first few sips, it was not significant, but after 2 pots of it, the aftertaste became too difficult to ignore. To me, it was not as pleasant as the one in Fong Keow, Klang.
'Bo li sang choy' or Chinese lettuce (RM5)
On the bright side, Yap Chuan was pretty generous with vegetables! One plate only cost RM5 and they were fresh and green. So good that we had to order another plate later. Value for money, I'd say. Unlike the expensive BKT in Puchong that charged RM9.50 for a much smaller plate!
'Yau mak' or Romaine lettuce (RM5)
Overall, my parents' and grandparents' comments were that they had better BKT before with richer and more delicious soup. I had to agree with them, although the dry version was commendable.

Facebook recently launched a new feature within the "Nearby" section of their mobile application. You will notice in the navigation area of the Facebook app on Android and iOS that you can select an option called "Nearby." This will show users places that are near them that are popular based on the likes and recommendations of their friends. This feature used to just focus on where friends have checked in, but now it is being expanded to include a ratings system. That section will also have recommendations for certain categorized businesses.
"Local businesses such as restaurants and salons have always relied on word-of-mouth recommendations, and now Nearby makes those recommendations relevant to people on the go looking for places around them," stated a Facebook spokesperson. "Businesses with a Facebook Page and physical location will benefit from this update."
Over 150 million people visit Facebook Pages per day and around half of them are coming from mobile users based in the U.S.
"This is an early release and there?s lots more to do," said Facebook in a blog. "Results will get better the more people use Nearby, and we?ll continue to improve it based on feedback. We also plan to add places info from third party services in the near future."

Hi! My name is Tiffini. My husband, Dan and I, have lived in the area for 14 years. We have 2 young sons and our family is out enjoying the amazing weather and activities every day.
Tiffini Connelly purchased this house in 2011
We chose this house because of the amazing neighborhood that is the Marina Peninsula. It is a quiet, tranquil strip of land bordered on one side by a lovely canal and nature path and on the other side by one of the most beautiful (and uncrowded!) beaches in Southern California. The beach is wide and flat with nice waves for surfing and paddle boarding.
Despite being so close to trendy Venice and Abbot Kinney Blvd (GQ Magazine's 'Coolest Block in America'), this neighborhood is a quiet strip of walk streets, beach front walks and nature trails. We see dolphins swimming in front of our house almost everyday! Walk along the lovely canal path and you will see Egrets and Herons searching for their next meal. Listen for the sound of the Sea Lions and watch the flocks of pelicans glide above the waves. Grab your surfboard and catch waves right our front.
We recently spend the most amazing month in this wonderful home on a beautiful beach! The house is even nicer than it looks in the photos.It is very roomy and quiet, very clean and seems very new. The house is set up perfectly for families and is so close to the sand. Even our 2 year old had no troubles making the walk to the water. The lovely yard is private and secure. The neighborhood is so quiet, with lots of cute walk streets and is very close to restaurants, coffee shops, marina, etc. We love walking down to Washington Blvd and eating at our new favorite restaurant, Casa Ado. Yum! We will definitely be back next summer!
My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful, quiet, right-on-the-beach home (great yard too!). Owners were helpful and responsive. Definitely recommend!
Surf right in front of your house!
Close to the Marina Water Bus.

It was May 2012 when tax fraud target and Sydney lawyer
He refused entry to the company's staff, and reportedly it was not until NSW police arrived that Mr Seller retreated.
The erratic move appeared to be a last-ditch attempt by the former Gadens and Abbott Tout partner to salvage his two companies:
Later, he argued he had an entitlement to do so, based on a resolution passed at a board meeting earlier that year in which only he was present.
But the result landed Mr Seller in court in a battle with the liquidator of both companies, Michael Jones.
Mr Seller has now been ordered to pay the costs of the liquidator, on an indemnity basis, meaning the entirety of the costs rather than the usual two-thirds rule.
The solicitor became a target of the multi-agency tax evasion probe, Project Wickenby, following an alleged tax sham that involved the production of whisky in the Scottish highlands.
Along with accountant and alleged co-conspirator Patrick McCarthy, Mr Seller has been accused of conspiring with the intention of dishonestly influencing the tax commissioner in the exercise of his duties. The tax in issue totals around $8 million, according to the Australian Taxation Office, and dates back to 1999, when Mr Seller and Mr McCarthy were involved in setting up a whisky scheme that involved a number of offshore entities including a Hong Kong company called Grant McKenzie Hong Kong Limited and a British Virgin Islands company – Chambers Finance Limited – linked to controversial Swiss accounting firm Strachans.
Late last year, the duo successfully argued a case brought by the ATO to recoup tax should be stayed until the criminal trial has been heard in October.
New allegations
Mr Seller has now found himself caught up in another costly legal battle after he allegedly attempted to transfer some of the assets of his aviation business improperly.
Four months before Mr Seller barricaded himself in the offices of Wingaway, he purportedly held a directors meeting on January 25, 2012, in which he decreed a dividend of $5.5 million be paid to another company in which he was a shareholder, AT Air.
To satisfy the dividend, two Piper Mojave private aircraft would be transferred into AT Air's name, according to Mr Seller. Only a couple of weeks later, both Wingaway and Heron went into administration, on February 9, and in early May the administrator entered into a sale agreement to offload both businesses. But AT Air still did not have its aircraft, which prompted Mr Seller to take possession of the offices of both companies, locking out staff, until he left with both private planes.
The only trouble was, the administrator knew nothing of the transfer, and a dispute erupted.
A judge ultimately found there were strong indications that there had been no proper transfer to AT Air of the two planes.
The administrator accused Mr Seller of breaching his director's duties with the ownership dispute.
This week, the NSW Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the Sydney lawyer to have the indemnity costs order overturned, after a legal battle stretching close to two years.
The size of the bill Mr Seller faces is unknown.

Mr. DuLac's review published on Letterboxd :
Do you think you could have fun without an audience in front of you?
-Rodman Flender
Perfectly titled film. You get the feeling that if Conan O'Brien did stop he might self-destruct, and at the same time you get the hint that he hates being that way.
It's an off the cuff look at Conan that might not win him any new fans, but should be highly enjoyable by his already established following.

California's Federal Marijuana Crackdown Underway
By Lemor Abrams
FRESNO, Calif. (KMPH) -- The Central Valley's marijuana sites are moving out, as federal drug agents move in to clear them.
Last week, federal prosecutors vowed to go after for-profit grows and dispensaries across the state.
The warning: shut down in 45 days or face civil and criminal action.
Federal drug enforcement agents are now delivering on that promise.
They raided a pot farm in Southeast Fresno, and came across 6,000 marijuana plants in the backyard.
They say the owners of the property also own the Sanger property where a much larger pot farm was raided in July. At that house, agents destroyed 25,000 plants.
The feds filed a lawsuit to take over ownership of both properties.
Investigators say the farms are worth millions.

You are contradicting yourself. First you say realized beings can demonstrate them, then you say having them has nothing to do with having realization. Also there is nothing mundane about them as sentient beings can't display them except through fakery and deception.

Ten years before the debut of the first literary mash-up, two video pranksters uncovered The Secret To Save Publishing–classic lit action figures!
In the video embedded above from 1998, Phil Lord and Chris Miller did a dead-on parody of children's television advertising, trying to sell plastic action figure versions of Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte, and Anne Bronte. The toys feature Boomerang Book-Throwing Action and an AMAZING Brontesaurus tribute to Voltron.
Here's more from the YouTube page: "This was a fake commercial we made in 1998 for a series of educational shorts about action figures based on historical figures. Its educational value was somewhat suspect. It was never aired." (Link via Huffington Post)

Gigabyte adds speed to their reputation
Subject: Motherboards | August 31, 2006 - 11:40 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
[H] notices something new in the way Gigabyte put together their new Core 2 Duo mobo. They have always been a company that makes stable boards, but haven't had a history of good overclockability. That changes with the GA-965P-DQ6, they got a Core 2 Duo E6300 1.87GHz to run at 3.3GHz, with a 472MHz FSB, but they did need to break out a few waterblocks to do so.
"The GA-965P-DQ6 is among the first of many motherboards touting full support for Intel's new Core 2
Duo line of processors. While GIGABYTE traditionally hasn't delivered stellar enthusiast boards, the
DQ6 seems to be an overclocking star."

3 Fondant Cakes
These are 3 of 4 cakes that I made for my students -- just because there were so many birthdays during a one month period. Many of them have never seen fondant or had a chance to taste it. MMF; 2 white almond sour cream and one yellow. No filling on these ones. Don't know if the light lavender shows up or not, but they turned out a really pretty shade.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 7)
Israel will be able to buy two million tons of Sinai oil at. $23.50 a barrel from Egypt for the first year after returning the Alma oil fields to Egypt, according to reports here and in Cairo. This is the essence of the agreement reached earlier this week between President Anwar Sadat and Israel Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and in Cairo. This is the essence of the agreement reached earlier this week between President Anwar Sadat and Israel Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and Israel Energy Minister Yitzhak Modai.
The agreement resolved the differences between Israel and Egypt over the price of oil. Egypt had asked for $32 a barrel which is the spot market Price in Rotterdam, while Israel insisted that it was willing to pay $23.50 a barrel set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Under the agreement, Egypt and Israel would renegotiate the price after the first year with the understanding that at that stage the spot market price will prevail. Also, after the first year Israel will be able to buy more than two billion tons of oil a year, but at the regular spot market price. Egypt currently sells its oil at the spot market price because it is not a member of OPEC.
The question of price became acute as the dare of Israel's withdrawal from the oil fields approached. Israel will transfer the Alma oil fields in the Gulf of Suez to Egyptian ownership Nov. 25, two months sooner than is required by the Israeli – Egyptian peace treaty. The advance withdrawal is a good will gesture on Israel's part in return for which Israel wanted a quick agreement on price.

To say this was a disappointment to learn last week is an understatement. Many people were looking forward to seeing GWTW in their local theaters this year. It's unbelievable that the film will be absent from the theaters for almost the duration of its 75th year. http://www.gwtwshowtimes.com/1/post/2014/01/2014-the-missing-75th-anniversary-of-gone-with-the-wind.html
If Warner Brothers needs to "build up" for GWTW "re-release" and subsequent push for purchasing their re-released DVD of GWTW this fall, then why is it showing on TCM at all this year? Those who would pay to go see it on the big screen in a historical theater are not going to take away from fall DVD sales. None of this makes any sense, in this author's opinion. They have alienated independent theaters who want to show this film and they've alienated audiences who want to see this film in its purest form all in the name of buildup, but it's going to be available on TCM on Feb 1. (I'm not naive, I know it's the anniversary of the birth of Clark Gable). It's just hard to understand how a license gets pulled on the one hand but the same people (TCM is under the WB umbrella) are still running on the network where those with DVRs, TiVO, or other devices can record it if need be.

in your area
- Powerful and quick, especially in the base form
- Roomy
- Very practical
- Important safety gear standard
- Not as refined as leading minivans
- Lags behind Chrysler regarding features
- Handling not class leading
The 2008 Kia Sedona is one of the least expensive minivans on the market, but inexpensive is different than cheap.
The 2008 Kia Sedona has been a player in the minivan market since 2006. Kia is one of the few manufacturers to still produce short- and long-wheelbase versions of the same van (as of 2008, Chrysler dropped its short-wheelbase models). Curiously, Kia's partner company, Hyundai, offers only the long-wheelbase model in its Entourage lineup. (Kia and Hyundai are both owned by the South Korean industrial giant, Hyundai Kia Automotive Group.)
In terms of style, the 2008 Kia Sedona is plain but well proportioned. Detailing is minimal. Inside, the Sedona is a well equipped and just as straightforward in terms of style and function.
Typical for Kia, the Sedona is equipped with important safety equipment, yet priced toward the low end of its competitive set. For the Sedona, 2008 models reinforce this positioning by including anti-lock brakes and six airbags as standard on all three models: the base, LX, and EX.
Inside, the passenger room is identical for all long-wheelbase models. The added wheelbase increases cargo volume from 12.9 cubic feet behind the third-row seat to 33.2 cubic feet. This is a significant difference that will matter to some families. However, if you put the third row into service only on rare occasions, then you may do just fine with the short-wheelbase 2008 Sedona base model.
On the road, the 2008 Kia Sedona zips along pretty well, especially if you're driving the short-wheelbase model. It's a bit lighter, with a tighter turning circle and even a slightly faster steering ratio, so this minivan feels quite maneuverable. Competitors such as the Mazda5 and Honda Odyssey corner flatter and have more feel through the steering wheel. These vans are also more refined than the Kia, but if you're going for value, it's OK to give up some refinement.
Power for all models is the 3.8-liter V-6 that also sees duty in the Amanti, Kia's luxury sedan. The engine produces 250 horsepower, which makes it at least competitive with every other minivan. The transmission is a five-speed automatic. Economy ratings are similar to other minivans at 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway.
In terms of safety, the 2008 Kia Sedona includes anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, plus front, side, and side curtain airbags (that cover all three rows of seats). Performance in government and IIHS crash tests has been excellent.
When it comes to features, Chrysler is the leader of the minivan world, and compared to the Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan, the 2008 Kia Sedona feels like it's a generation behind. Kia does not offer anything like Chrysler's Stow 'n Go seats, but the standard seating for seven works just fine as is. If you need maximum cargo room, the second row of seats is removable, but it's heavy.
The 2008 Kia Sedona models offer very few options. Their modus operandi is for customers to select a base, LX, or EX and take what those models offer. Only a handful of options (such as a DVD entertainment system, heated front seats, and so on) are offered, but this helps keep the Sedona simple to build, which in turn maintains the low price.
For those responsible for keeping kids happy while on the road, the vast number of features on the all-new Dodge Caravan makes this minivan a standout achiever. The Dodge also offers in-floor storage and seating options not available on the Kia.
If you're shopping around but know you really want a refined, high-quality driving experience, then the Honda Odyssey is the minivan for you. The base Honda will be thousands of dollars more expensive than the least expensive Kia, so be prepared.
The Toyota Sienna matches the Honda Odyssey in terms of refinement, polish, and price. However, the Sienna doesn't drive with the same enthusiastic personality exhibited by the Honda or the aforementioned Mazda5.

Region 3 thriller: Linton-HMB rallies late to beat Clippers in OT for trip to state
They haven't worn it in two years, but the Linton-Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock Lions found out on Thursday that the Region 3 boys basketball crown still fits.
Lions senior guard Andrew Small buried a running, fade-away jump shot from the left elbow with less than two seconds left on the clock, as Linton-HMB punched its ticket to state by defeating Strasburg-Zeeland 66-64 in overtime at the Jamestown Civic Center on Thursday night.
The state Class B boys basketball tournament starts next Thursday at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks.
"We wanted to get the last shot," Small said. "I drove, saw there was an opening and took it."
The play worked to perfection, according to veteran Linton-HMB coach Dan Carr. The Lions set it all up during a timeout with 14.9 seconds left in the overtime and the game tied at 64.
The win was career victory No. 663 for Carr.
"It was exactly how we drew it up. We wanted to give Andrew an opportunity to come off a jump shot," Carr said. "It was a chip-shot for him, a 15-footer.
"There wasn't any question that I didn't think it was going to go in."
Strasburg-Zeeland did have an opportunity to counter following Small's dagger. The Clippers called a timeout with 1.5 seconds left on the clock, and the Linton-HMB crowd was given a delay-of-game technical foul for charging the court too early to celebrate.
Strasburg-Zeeland sophomore Brody Nieuwsma went to the line to shoot the pair of freebies, but he missed them both. Linton-HMB never led the entire game until 11 seconds into the 4-minute overtime.
"It feels awesome," Small said. "It's what we've worked for all year."
The Clippers were playing inspired basketball after losing senior guard Scotti Scherr with 5 minutes, 8 second left to play in the first half.
Scherr suffered a severe blow to the head while taking a charge against Small under Linton-HMB's basket with the Clippers leading 23-17. Small's knee appeared to make contact with Scherr's head as he jumped toward the hoop. Scherr then fell hard to the court and appeared to have been knocked unconscious.
Scherr was down for several minutes before paramedics arrived. He was placed on a backboard and transported to Jamestown Regional Medical Center, but Scherr was back at the Jamestown Civic Center following the game.
"Scotti's a great defender in the fourth quarter. People don't realize that, and we missed that," Strasburg-Zeeland coach Brent Kleinsasser said. "He would have guarded Small. I don't know if he would have stopped him, but he'd have guarded him."
Scherr had a hot hand once again, draining a pair of 3-pointers in the first period. Scherr went 5-of-8 from 3-point range during the Clippers' 59-54 victory over South Border in the semifinals.
Scherr's six points led Strasburg-Zeeland at the half, as they led Linton-HMB 28-22.
"It was big," Kleinsasser said. "He was one of our team leaders, but hey the rest of them really stepped up. That's the way it is."
Small posted all 19 of his points in the second half. The Lions were led by Jonathon Purintun with 20 points.
Purintun buried a trey to tie the score at 56-all with 17 seconds left in regulation. Small hit three treys in the second half, Purintun sank two and Ryan Schneider connected twice from long range.
Schneider finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, as Purintun fouled out of the game shortly after his game-changing trey.
"I didn't think we handled the first half very well at all," Carr said. "We were probably trying and pressing a little too hard. We preached to them to come out with some intensity, and maybe we overdid it a little bit in that first half."
"They were all over us," Small added. "They were more intense, and we just came out and had to play in the second half."
Nieuwsma and Jacob Eberle each scored 13 points to lead the Clippers.
Thursday's meeting was the fourth time this season the Lions and the Clippers have faced each other this season. The Region 3 title game was a rematch of the District 6 title game, which Linton-HMB won 64-51 on their home court.
"I was really surprised we answered when we did to keep it that close in overtime," Kliensasser said. "I thought they did really well."
The Lions return to state after winning back-to-back region titles in 2011 and 2012. They finished the state tournament seventh both those years.
The Lions won a state championship in 2009.
Ellendale 54, South Border 44
The Ellendale Cardinals capped their season with a 54-44 victory over South Border in the third-place game.
The Cardinals' Adam White posted 17 points and nine rebounds, while Chase Durheim added 10 points. South Border's Matt Kretschmar started the Mustangs' scoring with three straight 3-pointers, and he finished with four treys and 16 points.
Hunter Pinke ended with 10 rebounds for the Mustangs, and Adam Jacobson recorded seven blocks and four steals.
South Border led 16-15 after the first period but was held to just two points in the second, as Ellendale took a 30-18 lead into the break. Ellendale scored 23 points off 14 South Border turnovers and went 9-of-10 from the foul line as a team.

New Personal Cloud Service Eliminates Device-to-Computer Syncing
New Personal Cloud Service Eliminates Device-to-Computer Syncing
SANTA MONICA, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 4, 2012) -
younity, a personal cloud service, announced its public beta launch of its mobile application today. younity allows iPhone and iPad users to access all files, music, videos and photos across all laptops and desktops, with no plug-in required. As a result, users have a single file system across all different devices, providing access to files no matter where they are stored, without costly storage fees, without storage limitations and without browsing devices individually.
"younity seeks to revolutionize the relationship between people, data and devices. Our vision is to create a way for all your devices to work as if they are a single device," said Erik Caso, CEO at Entangled Media. "With an average of more than three Internet-enabled devices per person, users generally don't want to be forced to use one device or another, they just care about accessing the files. Let's say you have a PC at the office and a Mac at home, younity allows you to seamlessly access any file you want on-the-go, including music, photos, videos and word documents, via your iPhone, iPad or iPod."
It's estimated that people have roughly 1TB of files per person across all computers and mobile devices. That number is forecast to grow to over 2.2TB per household by 2013. People are adding more devices every year and with camera resolution increasing, photos and videos are taking up more space. It is nearly impossible to put huge volumes of data in cloud storage, but with younity's personal cloud, users are not limited to the amount of storage on their mobile device.
"One of the first things our users told us was that this killed the need for them to sync. We learned that people don't sync their devices -- they never remember to," adds Caso. "Our users were elated to have the ability to get the benefits of syncing without ever having to plan ahead or plug-in their phone or tablet."
How younity works:
Download younity to all your PC or Mac computers via the website, and install the younity app from the App Store on any iPhone, iPod or iPad. After putting in your username and password, you will have instant access to all of your files across all of your Internet-connected devices.
younity creates a personal, private cloud for of all your files across all your devices by turning them into a group of personal cloud servers. User information is private, files are never stored online, made available on the Web or to other people; younity does not access user data or track file names.
In addition, younity enables the following:
younity is free to use and available today for Mac OS X, Windows computers and all iOS devices including iPhone, iPad and iPod. Linux and Android versions are coming soon.
Richard Harrison, an early younity user says, "I like younity because I never have to think about syncing my phone. For instance, if I put pictures from my camera on my desktop or laptop computer, I instantly have them on my phone. I have a few computers and iTunes only syncs to one of them. With younity, it doesn't matter that I have files, music or photos spread across multiple devices, I can access them all."
"We're excited about our beta launch today, but what we've really built is a platform. This is just the beginning," says Caso.
About younity
younity creates a personal cloud for all your files, built from your devices and your online services. younity puts all your documents, music, photos and video on all your devices, regardless of storage, so that all your devices work as if they were a single device -- you can access any file, anytime, from any device. There's no configuration, management or storage limits -- it's simple to use and free for any amount of data. Created by Entangled Media, younity is based in Santa Monica, California.

In a new study, published online in the journal Diabetes Care, researchers show a link between diabetes in adults and a common chemical used in synthetic fragrances, candles, and even the plastic containers in which your food is stored. The chemical class in questions—phthalates—is already linked to a slew of other health problems, including autism, weight gain, infertility, and even some cancers.
In the latest research, scientists looked at about 1,000 adults and tested their blood for the presence of four types of phthalates. People with the highest blood levels of phthalates also had the highest blood sugar levels after fasting. Diabetes is a hormonal disease, and the hormone-disrupting phthalates appeared to disrupt hormone production in the participants.

Detox Your Personal Care Routine
Although phthalates are industrial chemicals, manufacturers are now putting them in everything from perfumes, soaps, and shampoos to makeup, deodorants, and hairspray. You likely won't find the term on the labels of these personal care products because the plasticizing chemicals are allowed to fall under the catchall terms "parfum" or "fragrance," terms that can indicate up to 7,000 chemicals. To find safer personal care products, avoid products listing "fragrance" or "parfum" on the ingredients list. Search Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database to rate the safety of your current products and to find safer alternatives. Look for products in the low-risk range ranked 0 to 2.
Clear the air
Scented household products, including scented candles, air fresheners, and scented cleaners and laundry products, are also usually loaded with phthalates. To keep the plasticizing chemicals from contaminating your indoor air, choose beeswax candles for ambiance instead of scented paraffin ones—when burned, beeswax produces negative ions that actually clean the air. Also, select unscented household products whenever you can. Better yet, make your own homemade cleaning products.
Veto Vinyl
Vinyl plastic products also contain phthalates, so avoid vinyl shower curtains and instead use those made of natural materials like cotton or naturally antimicrobial hemp. If you're remodeling, choose more natural flooring in lieu of vinyl plastic flooring.

Eat Organic
Previous research has detected phthalates in produce, possibly from phthalates commonly used in pesticide formulas. Since phthalates are in so many personal care products that we wash down the drain, including shampoo and soap, some experts believe the phthalates in produce are taken up from human sewage sludge, which can be used as a fertilizer on nonorganic crops.

Elliott Walden, racing manager for WinStar Farm, breeder and owner of Bluegrass Cat, said Wednesday that the colt will run next in the Travers (gr. I) on Aug. 26.
Bluegrass Cat, who became trainer Todd Pletcher's first Haskell Invitational (gr. I) winner in a brilliant performance Aug. 6, was back on the track at Saratoga Wednesday morning.
"He got back to Todd's barn (at Saratoga) about midnight on Sunday," Walden said, "and he looks really good. He came out of the Haskell in good shape and, if everything goes well, we'll run in the Travers."
Pletcher had been non-comittal on whether Bluegrass Cat, the runner-up in this year's Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and Belmont Stakes (both gr. I), would make the quick turnaround for the Travers.
At Monmouth, the Praying for Cash team was still savoring the thrill of a lifetime. The Kelly Breen-trained colt led for nearly a mile of the Haskell, and held gamely to be second. The grade I placing has raised his value considerably.
"We've had all kinds of calls, all kinds of offers," said Ricky Gallo, who owns the colt in partnership with Bobby Hurley and Pat Scire. "It was really thrilling. About the three-eighths pole, I got this chill when I thought we had a chance to win. And then Bluegrass Cat went by.
"But it was an amazing race, and he ran so well that I'm still smiling," Gallo said.
Breen said he'll wait a while before deciding on the next step.

Michael Shank Racing was in control of the Rolex 24 at Daytona as the sun came up in the prestigious sports car race.
IndyCar driver Justin Wilson had the Ford Riley out front Sunday morning, and with just over six hours to go has given MSR a comfortable lead over the defending race winning team from Chip Ganassi Racing.
Joey Hand is currently driving for CGR, which is trailing the Shank entry by over 26 seconds.
The second Ganassi entry is four laps off the pace with NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya behind the wheel. The car was strong during the night but went six laps down when the shifter broke while IndyCar driver Scott Dixon was at the wheel.
Only two Daytona Prototypes are on the lead lap.

I will say it was absolutely the most fun I've ever had when Reggie and Jalen would get on a 3 pt barrage and then Croshere would nail one too. I saw it several times and almost wet myself each time.

Halloween in Australia
My Twitter friend Caro Webster aka @salisburydowns enlightens us about Halloween in the southern hemisphere. It never occured to me that reverse seasons had an effect on weather themed holidays. Caro is an advocate for outdoor activities for children and has lots of great ideas to share.
I LOVE Halloween and in one form or another have celebrated it all my life and now my children do too. However, many in Australia do not. Descriptions such as "a glammed-up celebration of ghoulishness", "over-commercialized clap trap", "a celebration of lollies and terror", "Americanization by stealth" all spring to mind. So when Betty asked me whether Australians celebrate and embrace Halloween like the U.S does, I had to tell her that sadly, the short answer is no.
Australia's 'lack of uptake' regarding Halloween is understandable if you look at its history and our geographic location.
As many already know, Halloween can be traced back to Celtic and Gaelic times and a festival known as Samhain. Then, it was an annual festival held to celebrate the end of summer's bounty but also to prepare for the long, cold winter months to come. It was believed that during Samhain, the 'doors' between the real and spirit worlds could be opened and as such evil spirits would walk the earth.
So during Samhain, people dressed up like the very ghouls they feared and also carved lanterns (using root vegetables) in an attempt to scare the spirits and keep them at bay. Bonfires played a part. They were lit as a way of disposing of the carcasses of

If you can't get enough of Etsy, there is a new tool that makes scrolling through the site even easier.
Combine the endless scrollbar of Pinterest and with Etsy's handmade market to get one addictive, simple new tool: Scrollsy.
It's the brainchild of Jonathan Bouman, the Netherlands-based developer who apparently specializes in crafting Internet crack. He's also behind Scrolldit, the tool that makes Reddit endless— and infinitely more irresistible.
Yesterday, Bouman shared his new creation with the Etsy forums and with Etsy's official Twitter account. Before that, the company (aside from their API lead for security issues) hadn't known about the project.
"It was a total surprise for them. I didn't collaborate with them," Bouman told the Daily Dot in an email.
Etsy headquarters seemed to be pleasantly surprised.
"@JonathanBouman Neat! Just saw it listed in our App gallery too!" @Etsy wrote to Bouman after he tipped them off.
"Scrollsy is a fun way to browse Etsy," added Justin Kerr Sheckler, Etsy's Developer API Lead. The tool was developed using Etsy's API. "We're continually amazed by the innovative tools that our developer community creates."
In the forums, Bouman let Etsians know about Scrollsy's four search styles: users can search by color, shop, treasury—or use a general search. He also said the tool works best on Google Chrome.
"omgsh.. i'm going to go BROKE with this site," commented Etsy seller Shannon.
Many sellers in the Etsy forums also said that the tool reminded them of Pinterest, with its visual interface and scrolling functionality. However, Bouman told us that Pinterest was not at all involved in the project.
Now that Etsy and Pinterest are more integrated than ever, will Scrollsy be redundant? Not according to Etsians, who can always use another handy shopping tool. Bouman said that as of publication time, there were a few hundred active users on the service.
"[There's been] a lot of positive feedback on twitter," he said.

The Chronicle Review
Before the Rampage: What Can Be Done?
The nation has marked the eighth anniversary of the Columbine tragedy with an even more deadly rampage at Virginia Tech. Thirty-two innocent people have lost their lives in yet another horrific spectacle. As educators we fixate on the bloody images and wonder which of our campuses might be next. And like millions of other Americans, not to mention shaken observers around the world, we wonder whether we have learned anything from past experience that might have helped stop this plot in its tracks.
We do know something about the circumstances that lead to rampage shootings, although the fact that they are still quite rare makes it hazardous to generalize. Nonetheless, the nation wants to know what scholars of adolescent violence have learned from research about the causes of rampage shootings. Congress demanded as much in 1999 when it passed an extension to the Missing, Exploited, and Runaway Children Protection Act, and mandated a research project conducted by the National Academy of Sciences. Unusual in this age of quantitative research, Congress and the academy were intent on taking an in-depth, qualitative, case-study approach. They didn't want a statistical portrait. They wanted to know, at the most intimate level possible, what had happened to provoke the shootings that grew in frequency throughout the country in the late 1990s.
My research team, which included four graduate students at Harvard University who have moved into the professoriate (Cybelle Fox, who is going to the University of California at Berkeley; David J. Harding, now at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor; Jal Mehta, at Harvard; and Wendy Roth, at the University of British Columbia), took to the road. We moved to two communities that had suffered devastating rampage shootings in their schools in the late 90s to try to reconstruct from hundreds of interviews with law-enforcement officials, teachers, friends and family members of the shooters and the victims, clergy members, social workers, and children enrolled in those schools years later, what had prompted three young boys to take the lives of their teachers and classmates.
In the spring of 1998, Andrew Golden, age 11, and Mitchell Johnson, 13, positioned themselves on a hillside behind Westside Middle School, near Jonesboro, Ark., and emptied long-distance rifles into the milling crowd of children who had come outside in response to the fire alarm that Andrew had pulled minutes before. Four girls died, and one brave teacher lost her life shielding a child. Nine other children were wounded. Tried as juveniles, Andrew is still behind bars, and Mitchell, released at the mandatory age of 21, is living under an assumed name in an undisclosed location.
Michael Carneal was a 14-year-old freshman at Heath High School, near Paducah, Ky., when he entered the lobby early in the morning of December 1, 1997, and gunned down members of a prayer group. Three young women died — including one to whom Michael was fairly close — and several others were severely injured. A short, skinny, awkward boy at 14, today Michael is a strapping six feet in height, with hefty shoulders. Convicted as an adult, he will be behind bars until he is 45.
We backtracked through the lives of the shooters and their families, through the social pecking orders of their schools and the climate of their rural communities. To the thousands of pages of transcripts, we added a quantitative analysis of the information on homicides on or near school grounds that is maintained by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. News-media sources were scoured for evidence on all school rampages around the world from 1970 to 2001. Finally we focused on "near miss" plots, where a shooting almost happened but was prevented by the police. What did we learn from that exhaustive research?
First, rampage school shootings are never spontaneous. Before they loaded a single weapon, Michael Carneal, Andrew Golden, and Mitchell Johnson had let fly with dozens of hints, ranging from vague comments like, "You'll see who lives or dies on Monday," to more-specific warnings to friends to "stay away from the school lobby." Those warnings started months before the shootings themselves. No adults ever heard them. But the boys' peers — particularly groups they hoped to impress — got an earful. Most had no idea what to make of the comments. After all, Michael, for example, was known as a socially inept prankster who often said bizarre things. Most school shooters have a history of trying to ingratiate themselves into a pecking order that doesn't want them. Hence, as frightening as the threats appear in retrospect, at the time they were dismissed as "one more crazy thing that Michael said."
Why do school shooters broadcast their intentions? They are trying to attract the attention of kids whom they hope will embrace them as friends but who have typically denied them the social status they crave. Michael desperately wanted the acceptance of the "goth" group in his high school, which barely tolerated his presence. He posed as a delinquent when he was actually quite intellectual, passing CD's he owned off as stolen property. He stole pistols from his home and brought them to school as gifts for the most charismatic of the goths. "Not good enough," was the response. "We want rifles." No matter how hard Michael tried to change the way his peers saw him, nothing worked until the day he started fantasizing out loud about taking over the school and shooting people. That did work. He began to get attention. And once he had announced his intention, he risked social failure if he declined to go through with it.
School shooters are problem solvers. They are trying to turn the reputations they live with as losers into something more glamorous, more notorious. Seung-Hui Cho, a student of creative writing, probably didn't get a lot of "street cred" for his artistic side. Young men reap more social benefits from being successful on the football field. When their daily social experience — created by their own ineptness, and often by the rejection of their peers — is one of disappointment and friction, they want to reverse their social identities. How do they go about it? Sadly, becoming violent, going out in a blaze of glory, and ending it all by taking other people with them is one script that plays out in popular culture and provides a road map for notoriety.
Depression is endemic in these young men. Indeed, it can be so bad that they want to die. Why, then, don't they throw themselves in front of trains? That is the wimp's way out; it will not change their reputations. "Suicide by cop," putting themselves in a situation where the police will almost surely kill them, is a more glamorous way to go. Cho probably did not expect to survive this catastrophe. But by taking dozens of other people with him, he insured his notorious place in history and found a way to set the record straight: He was a man to be reckoned with.
Different audiences saw divergent qualities in the shooters we studied. Parents, teachers, and other adults saw the benign side. Two months before the shooting, Mitchell's teacher sent a note to his mother praising him as one of the most admirable young men in the community. "You must be so proud of him," she said. People could barely remember Andrew. The boys' peers knew the dark side.
The desire to protect a student's privacy or to avoid influencing next year's teachers with news of this year's infractions generally means that disciplinary records and other vital information are simply discarded when students move across institutional boundaries or from middle school to high school — and particularly from high school to college. What did Virginia Tech know about the psychological profile of Cho when they admitted him? What do any of us know about the students in our classrooms?
There are good reasons for us to be in the dark. In high-school contexts, we want to avoid what sociologists call "labeling." We do not want one bad year to predispose teachers to expect the next one to be equally troubled. The Americans With Disabilities Act teaches us that people with mental problems can lead productive lives and should be shielded from discrimination. But we pay a high price for clearing the slate, and an even higher price for the civil liberties that prevent us from locking up someone who is simply writing scary stories or sending bizarre e-mail messages. We strip information from the system that might yield clues to an unraveling mind when we destroy disciplinary records. We run the risk of a catastrophe when we hit the limits of what we can do to push someone into therapy.
In near-miss cases, we see how important it was for people to come forward with information about the intentions of the shooters that they have heard on the rumor mill. A rampage that could have been as bad as the Virginia Tech massacre was averted when a girl came forward at New Bedford High School, in Massachusetts. She was worried that her favorite teacher would die in the bombings and shootings that her male friends were planning. It is crucial that students feel enough trust in the adults around them to do as she did. Lacking that trust, we lose the only real source of information we have about the deadly intentions of would-be school shooters.
And here we must take our hats off to those at Virginia Tech who did exactly what we would want them to do. They alerted the counseling staff to the scary writing submitted by the shooter; they tried to cajole him into treatment; and they warned the police. Sadly, while that kind of effort will often make a critical difference, it failed in this instance. It will take thorough investigation to figure out why, but part of the story lies in the unwillingness of our society to lock up people who have committed no illegal acts. It is not a crime to be depressed or even scary, as this young man was. And for those civil liberties, we have paid a heavy price. That price will be debated for years to come.

This pedal has two knobs and two successive gain stages. This allows for a heck of a lot of raging distortion or clean boost. Gain and level knobs stare at the player from the face of the pedal. This pedal pushes itself into overdrive VERY quickly and saturates beautifully. Humbucker and single coil players will equally love this pedal. The Batch just can't be beat!

Press release
Gielijn Escher
Living for Posters
2 June - 30 September 2012
Gielijn Escher has been designing and collecting posters for fifty years. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is showing a combined survey of Escher's own posters and a selection from his collection. The exhibition coincides with the publication of a book: 'Gielijn Escher Living for Posters'.
This summer Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is exhibiting a selection of approximately sixty posters by Gielijn Escher (1945). The display is complemented by sixty posters from Escher's collection of German posters by artists including Lucian Bernhard, Hans Rudi Erdt and Ludwig Hohlwein. To coincide with the exhibition, Uitgeverij De Buitenkant is publishing a book on Escher's work with an essay by Mienke Simon Thomas, curator of applied arts and design at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
Designer and collector
At the age of seventeen, Gielijn Escher decided to become a poster designer. Despite the fame of the modernist posters and packaging and posters for Rotterdam's Van Nelle factory by his grandfather Jacob Jongert and the world-famous work of his great-uncle M.C. Escher, Gielijn developed a completely personal style.
His passion for collecting began very early. At the age of six he began collecting orange wrappers and labels from orange crates. Four years later he started his, now vast, collection of posters.
Gielijn Escher studied in at the Institute for Applied Arts Education (IvKNO), the forerunner of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam the 1960s. However, he learned most from looking at the work of groundbreaking designers such as Wim Crouwel, Jan Bons, Dick Elffers and Nicolaas Wijnberg. Typical of Escher's independent vision was that he also had great admiration for more commercial designers such as Frans Mettes and Cor van Velsen. In the early 1970s Escher discovered the work of early-twentieth-century designer Lucian Bernhard and his contemporaries. Since then, Bernhard's very simple and highly stylised Sachplakate have been a great source of inspiration for the designer.
Cultural clients
Most of Escher's clients have come from the cultural sector. He has made announcements for dance and theatre performances, concerts and exhibitions. His powerful, colourful posters of the 1970s for the Shaffy Theater, Dansgroep Krisztina de Châtel and the Festival of Fools achieved great popular recognition. The admiration for Escher's work is apparent not only from the hundreds of commissions he has received but also from the prestigious prizes he has won: the H.N. Werkman Prize (1978) and the Prins Bernhard Foundation Prize for Applied Arts and Architecture (1997).
