We are pleased to announce as our guest of honor, Alfred Bester; as our fan guest of honor, a fellow by the name of Fred Pohl (who has of late been lamenting that he has never been one); and as toastmaster, Theodore Sturgeon. Locus called last year's Norwescon "... one of the best re- gionals of the past year with just the right combination of organization and zaniness..." Norwescon III already promises to throughly eclipse its predecessor, yet without sacrificing the intimacy and originality that are trademarks of Norwescons. Norwescon is fast becoming known as the annual west coast gathering of pros. Among the 2 8 writers and editors attending Norwescon II were Philip Jose Farmer, Damon Knight, Kate Wilhelm, Vonda Mclntyre, John Varley, Dean Ing, Marta Randall, Elizabeth Lynn, H. Warner Munn, Orson Scott Card, F.M. Busby, Wilmar Shiras, J.F. Bone, John Shirley, David Hartwell and John Silbersack. Most of our authors come back the next year, and we are currently projecting that 45 professional authors and editors will attend. We sincerely hope that you will be one of the attending pros. Norwescon offers free convention memberships for all authors, editors and artists, and their families. We also feature photographs and bibliographical blurbs in the program book, and we host the best autograph, party ever. Moreover, we have spared no expense in providing you with America's most livable city, perfect for vacationing before or after the convention. Seattle has everything - salt water, blue lakes, evergreen forests and snow-capped mountains. Please do come and share the Norwescon experience with us. It's one you won't soon forget. Whether you decide to participate in our tax-deductible rite of spring or not, please return the attached response form in the enclosed stamped envelope. For more information, call me collect at 206 244-5929. Mosi/ySincerely ydAS'pb^ //^Oa^X Stephen Bard Chairman & Program Director Norwescon III 11600 Military Road S. #101 Seattle WA 98168

How to Transfer Content between Android and HTC?
Today, users have a wide array of smartphones to choose from thanks to established and upcoming brands. Android is an open operating system that has become popular over the years therefore making it easy for new and old brands to come up with better devices that have better features. If you have bought a new HTC smartphone with better features such as better screed display, high resolution camera for the front and back cameras, you will suddenly want to get rid of the old smartphone. Instead of throwing it away, you may decide to sell it. Before you list your smartphone on ebay, you can transfer all useful data and information to your new HTC smartphone and then you can use Android data eraser to clean your old Android phone.
Many people are worried about the safety and completeness of the data transfer, therefore, you'd better use the secure application like Coolmuster Mobile Transfer or Coolmuster Mobile Transfer for Mac to help you.

Slow Cooker Self-saucing Chocolate Orange Pudding – a delicious chocolate pudding you can serve straight from the slow cooker pot!
This recipe was from the Slow Cooked Wonders group on Facebook, however it seems to be simply an adaptation of this recipe from BBC Good Food here to the slow cooker.
It needs approximately 3 hours on high in the slow cooker according to the link, though I found it took around two hours fifteen minutes, until a skewer inserted in the middle was clean.
This is what it looked like after pouring the cake batter into the slow cooker bowl, then pouring on the hot water, dissolved sugar and cocoa powder for the sauce. At first it pools on the top, then it runs under the batter like this.
After two hours fifteen minutes, this wonderful sight greeted me:
Lovely served warm with the sauce and some ice cream or cream.

Wild ride on city's boom to wherever the future goes
Now is the springtime of our discontent. You hear it all over town — San Francisco is going to hell. Techies, Google buses, traffic, prices. Crime is up, and civility is down. A nice San Francisco lady I met the other night put it directly: "San Francisco has lost its soul," she said.
I think she's wrong. San Francisco is still San Francisco, only better than ever. We're in the middle of a huge boom, a new Gold Rush. The Bay Area is the home of dozens of amazing companies on the frontier of new ideas.
Think about it — Apple, Facebook, Uber, Salesforce.
Twitter was invented in South Park; Uber is valued at $62 billion plus, worth more than General Motors. Airbnb was founded by two guys who turned the living room of their San Francisco apartment into a bed and breakfast. Now it has 2 million listings in 4,000 cities and 190 countries. One hundred ninety countries? Such things didn't even exist a generation ago.
Home to tech stars
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are on the cover of Time magazine. Last week, Zuckerberg was on the cover of the Economist, the British magazine, in a photo altered to make him look like a Roman emperor. He's the founder of Facebook, the largest social media company in the universe. Zuckerberg and his wife live near Dolores Park, just up the hill from Mission High School.
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, the world's richest company, was born in San Francisco, grew up in Cupertino and introduced some of Apple's most famous products at the Moscone Center.
A few blocks down the street, the Salesforce Tower is rising. It will be the tallest building in the Bay Area, 61 stories high, 1,076 feet above Mission Street, 200 feet taller than the Transamerica Pyramid, the symbol of another generation. BTW, as we hip guys say, Marc Benioff, the Salesforce CEO, is also a native San Franciscan.
Not far away, at 222 Second St., LinkedIn has a new headquarters, a black monolith that reflects the sky and the new towers all around.
It's all part of a giant boom that has turned the Bay Area into an economic powerhouse. Michael Storper, a professor of urban planning at UCLA, thinks the Bay Area is the top urban region in the United States. If the Bay Area were a country, he says, its economic output would rank 22nd in the world, just behind Argentina and ahead of Sweden.
The boom started in Silicon Valley, of course, but now San Francisco is the boom town. "Information is the new currency, and that currency is gushing through the streets of San Francisco," Alan Collenette, an executive with Colliers International real estate firm, told CNN last year.
This is where the jobs are, where the future is being developed. "Everybody wants to live in San Francisco," Storper said.
Back in the good old days, people worked in the city and lived in the suburbs. Now, it's shifting. This is the principle behind the tech shuttles, which take workers to the suburbs and bring them home to the city.
"We live in an urban age again," Storper said, "The '60s and '70s were the suburban age." But the suburbs don't have the culture and the diversity the city has, and that's the appeal to the young people who are driving the information age. "People want to be in the central city," he said.
No going back
The other side of the coin is a huge increase in prices, in housing costs, in everything. It's Economics 1A: Scarcity and demand drive up prices.
"If you want inexpensive, go to Detroit or Baltimore. But nobody wants to live there," Storper said. "The Bay Area will never be inexpensive again. That's over."
He's not surprised that San Francisco residents are unhappy even in boom times, and why nearly every bit of change meets resistance — not in my backyard, not in my city.
"That's not unusual," he said. The city is compact, only 47 square miles with water on three sides. "It's like Manhattan," Storper said. "Every inch is contested."
In San Francisco it's possible to live in the past and the future at the same time, to eat lunch at classic restaurants where the waiters wear tuxedos, and have dinner on the cutting edge of new cuisine. It's like living in a Victorian house with a 21st century interior — two worlds in one city.
So there are two ways to look at the boom. One is to stand on the shore, like King Canute, and order the ocean to go back. The other is to ride the wave and see where it takes us.

Old days.....
Going through my stuff this weekend, organizing old paper work, and came across this.
In the early 1990s, before the internet and YouTube, this is what the recruiter gave you when you re-enlisted under the 18X program. In those days you had to be prior service to sign up for the 18X program.
This brochure gave some history about SF, SF missions. And told one how to prepare for SFAS. Section as well about airborne school. And a final section on the Q Course.
I remember the table showing the study of 4 mile ruck times correlating to SFAS pass rates. Timed myself under 45 minutes, with 60 pound ruck so knew was good to go. To be honest, after previously having attended Ranger school, did not think SFAS was that bad, though still challenging.
Looking through the brochure now, many years after having done, some good practical advise about getting ready, taking care of feet, etc.

Article content
The promise of excursions to hidden gems of the Aegean Sea was brilliantly kept by Celestyal Cruises when we disembarked at the Greek island of Samos, just a mile from the Turkish coast.
It was difficult to resist colourful clothing displays like these attractive scarves, as well as authentic arts and crafts and jewelry gleaming in such charming surroundings. And bonus -- prices were generally moderate. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
When I waved and held up my camera, a local gent nodded his consent to be photographed, exemplifying the friendly vibe I enjoyed throughout the mid-summer visit. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Netherlands visitors, Stephan with his mom and sister, stroll down to the port after Stephan got a workout hiking to the top of the steep city street. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Built in the mid-18th century, Samos town's narrow streets can be a challenge for vehicles to navigate but these locals, aboard modern-day chariots on their way to a wedding celebration, have the situation well in hand. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Samos town's harbour is the island's main port, home to an assortment of leisure and working watercraft. For me, the most interesting vessels are small fishing boats like this one, packed with the necessities to get the job done as well as personal items, making no two alike. Bonus to tour the big, beautiful bay during the early evening's best light of the day. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Fascinating to get a historical science lesson from our guide at a local open-air market. Samos, the birthplace of mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, of course is flush with the famous Pythagorean cup , also known as the Greedy cup. We're told Pythagoras, born in 569 BC, invented the cup as a lesson to greedy students. When the cup is overfilled to a certain point, the entire contents will drain through the base. It's due to a precisely placed hollow column within. Though not news to my son Adam, who studied the mathematician at London's Western University and thus claimed the smart souvenir from me. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Pythagorean_cup (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Chairs made from old wine barrels and decades-old tools used to make the well-known wines of Samos set the mood for a fun tasting following a guided tour of the Samos Wine Museum, a short drive from the port. The museum, also the Malgari winery, was founded in 1934 by the Union of Winemaking Cooperatives of Samos. The muscat grape grown on the island has been used to produce the popular wines for centuries. I was easily swayed by the sweet taste of Samos Vin Doux and happy to take away the recipe for Ginger Wine. Pour this 'soft' wine in a highball glass, add ginger ale and garnish with a lime wedge. See http://www.in-samos.com/company/samos-wine-museum-eoss/ (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Stavos offers service with a smile to patrons of Aelio Bistro Cafe, one of dozens of lively cafes and bars lining the Samos harbour offering an assortment of local eats and drinks as well as an international selection of beer, wine and liquor. The seaside location provides a stunning view of the turquoise Aegean Sea. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
Omnipresent cheerful trumpet vines make it a delight to wander the narrow cobblestone streets of the island's capital, also named Samos. It's a pretty, well-maintained town with a population of about 6,000. Some 34,000 people live on the island, which houses 33 villages and is about 70 per cent mountainous. It's Greece's eighth largest island. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)
There's a lot to be said for being in the right place at the right time. I, like many other tourists, don't like to hear "You should have been here yesterday, or this morning, or last month." But no apologies for this sensational visit to Samos on a sunny afternoon and evening last summer. Our Celestyal Cruises harbour departure was good to the last drop with the Aegean Sea glistening, and hill-lined homes aglow, in the setting sun. (Barbara Taylor/The London Free Press)

閑かさや Shizukasa ya In this stillness 岩にしみ入る iwa ni shimi iru stinging the stone 蝉の声 semi no koe [is] the cicada's trill
From "The Narrow Road to Oku" by Basho
Summer arrived in the last two days before I left Japan. How does one decide? For the record its not by the sun or the stars, nor by the heat and humidity, but by the cry of the cicadas.
Japan has a thing about these large and unprepossessing insect, named semi in Japanese, which are supposed to call only in summer. The monotonous ji-ji-ji sound which I heard while walking to lunch was probably the large brown cicada which the Japanese call the Aburazemi. If it makes you feel any better, the Latin binomial is Graptosaltria nigrofuscata. There weren't too many of them, and it was too early in the season for kids to be out trying to catch them. But a few cicada do a summer make.

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat 3 mini-muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 17 to 18 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in dried herbs; allow to cool.
Meanwhile, unroll one sheet of pie dough and use a 21/2-inch round cutter to cut 12 to 13 rounds. Reserve scraps and repeat with remaining sheet of pie dough. Roll out scraps and continue cutting rounds, for a total of 36 rounds of dough. Gently press each round into a mini muffin indentation and bake at 350 degrees F for 11 minutes.
While dough bakes, in a measuring cup, whisk together the half and half, egg and onion soup mix; set aside.
Place a heaping 1/2 teaspoon onion in each pastry shell. Slowly pour egg mixture into shell, being careful not to overfill. Sprinkle each top with a scant 1/2 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm

|McDonald's Arabia Chicken McArabia

|The Wife insisted I 'pose' with the wrap.
A couple weeks ago, The Wife and I spent a week in Oman. This isn't the first time we'd been to Oman, but since we loved the country, we wanted to go back. At the time McDonald's "Arabia" (which covers most of the Middle East, including Oman) was running the Mushroom Quarter Pounder promo burger, and since I'd be picking all the mushrooms off, I didn't feel it was worth trying for a review. As they didn't have any other items worth trying, I thought I'd do a proper review of the McArabia, an item I had once before during the pre-blog days (around 2006). Long time readers will remember the McTurko in 2012, and the Chicken Foldover from Malaysia in 2014, both of which were pretty similar to this wrap, but it did have a few subtle differences, which I do feel makes it the best of the bunch.
The chicken patties were grilled, but in all honesty, there wasn't anything special about them. The veg was surprisingly nice, and the tomatoes were cut thicker than most McDonald's I visit. The first real difference was the bread. I know I praised the bread for wraps before, but this has to be the best McDonald's wrap I've ever had. The Middle East certainly knows how to make bread and McDonald's was no different. It was firm, yet soft, and had spices baked directly into the wrap. If that's all it was, it would easily be a 4/5, but what really made me love it was the Garlic sauce they used. They didn't use too much, they didn't use too little, it was just the right amount, and it was actually garlicky! It also didn't taste too much like Mayo, which is a problem with creamy McDonald's sauces sometimes. Sure, it's not "smell your breath from 2km away" garlic, but it was there, and it was good. The same sauce is used on Chicken burgers in the Middle East and I do believe they also sell it as a nugget dip, and personally, I think they could pretty much serve it on any burger, and it would make it taste better. All in, the McArabia is a regular menu item worth trying. They are available in most parts of the Middle East, so if you are in the region, I suggest you give it a try. They do sell it with Beef Patties, which I've also tried during the pre-blog days in Lebanon, I feel that Chicken would be the better meat to go with the Garlic Sauce. The only reason why this is not getting a perfect score is that the chicken patties were a bit on the thin side.
Rating - 4.5/5

Dr. Mumtaz George, medical director of the Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group is celebrating 40 years in medicine and 27 years at his current practice. His dedication to providing quality care helped his practice blossom into a thriving medical center with 18 employees, serving many established patients, as well as an increasing number of new patients.
With over 750,000 patient visits during his career, Dr. George treats all ages, ranging from infants to senior citizens, and offers both basic medical services and specialized.
New services at the 8,200 square foot center include painless allergy testing and treatment using drops instead of shots, antioxidant testing, which determines the body's overall health (a health lie detector test), a guaranteed weight loss system, disease prevention and reversal, skin evaluation for skin cancer, and nutritional education focusing on how diet affects health. Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Pain Management evaluation and treatment are also available.
In addition, Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group partners with Theramedic, a physical therapy center, to offer physical therapy services in the same office. The center began as The Royal Oak Medical Center and added Birmingham to its name to reflect the growing service to patients in surrounding areas, including Berkley, Clawson, and Troy. Dr. George's internal medicine practice offers holistic and general medicine as well as other specialties, so patients can have almost all of their medical needs addressed at one central location.
'We see a lot of bumps, bruises, sprains, broken bones, respiratory infections, and the like, but we're equipped for more with the addition of new patient services and clinical specialists,' says Dr. George. 'We are moving into holistic medicine as more people ask for this type of service, which treats a patient's overall health as opposed to isolated conditions. The holistic approach is a national trend, especially in the areas of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and even cancer.
'I feel that the food pyramid that we use today, does not promote the best health. People are acquiring lifelong conditions as a result of unhealthy diets. Certain items on store shelves in the U.S. are banned in over 30 countries around the world for their harmful ingredients. What we eat affects our physical health, our ability to feel good, and overall brain functioning. As more children consume excessive amounts of sugar without enough exercise, we are witnessing more cases of obesity and Juvenile Diabetes. Focusing on healthy diets can prevent disease and also eliminate the need to take most medications for such diseases.'
'I hope to be the physician farmer, planting seeds of good health, in a community rampant with disease, through others that have sought my knowledge and education about good eating and exercise habits. Many people are unaware that several diseases are reversible with a healthy diet and lifestyle.'
Dr. George earned a chemistry degree at Wayne State University and his medical degree from the University of Granada in Spain, where he also learned to speak Spanish. He specialized in Internal Medicine and is affiliated with Huron Valley Hospital as a courtesy staff member.

I've seen it said that you cannot linked password protected workbooks but I'm hoping the person that posted that, just didn't know how to do it.
I have three workbooks used by different teams in the same department. The 'Master' workbook pulls back data a2 through r400 from WB 'Raw Data' and s2 through w400 from WB 'Review.'
All three of these workbooks are used by different teams (Quality for Master, Accounts for Raw Data, Review for Review) which is why they're password protected.
Is there anyway to NOT have to put in the password for the fields on Master to automatically update?
Let's think about this...
The file is Password protected so that only authorized individuals can see the contents.
If linking to unopened, password protected files was allowed, and I knew the name and location of the password protected file I could just enter a formula like the one below in A1 of each sheet and drag it down and over, thus creating a copy of the values in every cell of the password protected file:
='\\MyPath\Users\UserName\My Documents\[MyFile.xlsm]Sheet1'!A1
That would sort of defeat a major portion of the password protection, wouldn't it? You'd only be able to see the values in the protected sheet, not the formulas, but that still might defeat the main purpose of the protection.
However, if you are an authorized user of the files, and you know the passwords, you could use code similar to this to open the password protect files and then have the links update.Sub Open_Protected_File() Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "\\MyPath\Users\UserName\My Documents\MyFile.xlsm", Password:="Secret" End Sub
Since the code contains the password to the password protected file you should password protect the code and hide it so that unauthorized users can't access it.
Click Here Before Posting Data or VBA Code ---> How To Post Data or Code.
Well, in this case viewing the data is fine for most employees, it's really changing the data that the protection is set up for.
All three WBs have a sheet in common called 'Data' and because there are so many users (80+), we had to create 3 workbooks. The 'Raw Data' WB is for the initial case information to be entered in cells A-R, rows starting at 2 and going down accordingly. The 'Review' WB is for the review team to look at what the Accounts team has done and add comments in cells S-W. The Master wb is for management to see what their two teams have done.
While I was explaining that, I realized that I had neglected to say that the Raw Data and Review WBs also update each other so all three wbs have to have the same information at the same time.
If I use that code above, would I have to include it in each workbook? And if I use it in Master, how would I include the two other wb passwords? I don't understand how to format the same request twice. Would it be two 'sub open' and 'end sub' or just one 'sub open' with the two addresses?
If viewing the data is OK, why are the workbooks protected?
Use protection at the worksheet level to prevent changes and you shouldn't have any problems linking to them.
If you must protect them at the workbook level, then you'll need to open all workbooks with code that resides in the workbook that is trying to pull data from them.Sub Open_Protected_File() Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "\\MyPath\Users\UserName\My Documents\MyFile.xlsm", Password:="Secret" Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "\\MyPath\Users\UserName\My Documents\MyOtherFile.xlsm", Password:="Secret" End Sub
Click Here Before Posting Data or VBA Code ---> How To Post Data or Code.
Thanks, DerbyDad, that's what I needed to know.
And because the wbs have sensitive customer information, we have to protect them in case someone from another department worked their way through the elaborate line of folder-after-folder till they came to our wbs and decided the names were so interesting they just HAVE to open it up and see what it's all about. You know....bureaucratic nonsense.
So the protection is primarily to prevent viewing, not primarily to prevent changing the data as you stated in Response #2.
Click Here Before Posting Data or VBA Code ---> How To Post Data or Code.
No, it's for both. The team members who are supposed to use the workbook can view but not change ALL fields, only their own. Other employees who are NOT team members can NOT even view the workbook because of sensitive data. Does that make sense?

By understanding the mechanisms that drive fibrosis we will be able identify targets for future therapies.
What is this research looking at?
The chronic inflammation associated with Crohn's Disease can cause tissue damage and scar tissue to develop in the bowel in a process called fibrosis. This can cause a stricture (narrowing) of the bowel, which can lead to blockage. About one-third of people with Crohn's will develop strictures, and may experience symptoms such as pain and vomiting due to an obstruction. No current treatment can reverse or cure fibrosis, and strictures caused by fibrosis are the main reason for surgery in people with Crohn's. Financial costs related to surgery make up one-fifth of the costs associated with the management of Crohn's. Surgery is also associated with a higher risk of unemployment, and poorer quality of life due to disease recurrence. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed to prevent or reverse fibrosis in Crohn's.
Intestinal fibrosis is a complicated process that is not fully understood. It involves cells in the bowel wall called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts make collagen – a protein that encourages fibrosis and causes strictures in people with Crohn's. Understanding how fibrosis and bowel obstruction happens in Crohn's will improve the likelihood of discovering new treatments. The researchers will investigate an important chemical change in fibroblasts from people with Crohn's. When this change goes wrong in other diseases, it causes inflammation and fibrosis, which can be treated using drugs.
The researchers have already shown that valproic acid – already used for other conditions such as epilepsy – has an effect on this chemical change, and stops the formation of collagen. Testing whether valproic acid drugs that have already been approved for some uses can be used to treat fibrosis in Crohn's could provide a cheaper and faster route to treatment than the discovery of new drugs. Researchers need to understand how valproic acid works, and how certain processes in the body control the effect of valproic acid on the production of collagen. First researchers will use gut tissue from people with Crohn's to understand how this drug acts, in particular how it inhibits a protein involved in collagen production during fibrosis. They will determine whether blocking this protein can be used as a targeted treatment of fibrosis in the bowel. Drugs that prevent, delay or reverse fibrosis will have a major impact on people's quality of life and ability to work.
What do researchers think this could mean for people with IBD?
Researchers hope that valproic acid, or similar drugs can be used as new treatments for fibrosis in Crohn's. There are currently no specific treatments that prevent or reverse fibrosis in the bowel of people with Crohn's, therefore this would be a major advancement to improve quality of life and reduce the cost of disease management.
Who is leading this research: Professors Andrew Silver and James Lindsay, Blizard Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine & Dentistry
Our Funding: £73,573
Duration: 12 months
Official title of application: Restoration of histone acetylation levels and reduction of collagen expression via inhibition of HIC-5: a new strategy to limit fibrosis in Crohn's Disease

Transformational Breath® is a self-empowering healing process that creates great transformation in one's life. Transformational Breath is a dynamically powerful technique that utilizes a high vibrational energy force created by a specific breathing pattern. The three levels of Transformational Breath allow us to breathe better, have more energy, feel more peaceful and loving, and ultimately attain higher levels of consciousness.
As the founder of Transformational Breath Foundation and the co-creator of the Transformational Breathing process, I have had 30 years of working extensively with the breath, with over 10,000 people individually and 100,000 plus in groups. I have come to understand quite clearly how Transformational Breath can improve your health, well-being and profound enjoyment of life.
How does Transformational Breath work? The life-altering motion in Transformational Breath is based on the universal principle of entrainment that simply states that a lower vibrational pattern can permanently be changed into a higher frequency by coming into contact with a higher vibrational energy source. That is why you feel lighter and clearer after being bathed with the higher vibrational energy that Transformational Breath brings. Transformational Breath accesses our electromagnetic field at the cellular level and creates permanent healing and transformation.
There are three distinct levels of Transformational Breath. The first level has to do with opening and clearing restricted breathing patterns, or basically learning how to breathe more effectively and easily. Most people only get a small percentage of air capacity due to closed and restricted breathing patterns. In Transformational Breathing, we know that the amount of air we can bring into the body is directly related to the amount of good we can accept in life. As we open and expand our breathing, not only do we have more energy and support for the body's natural healing abilities, we greatly improve our capacity to receive and experience more good. To the degree that the breath is open and flowing, we are in the flow of life. Easterners have known for thousands of years that the life force's primary means of access into the body is through our breathing.
The second level of Transformational Breath deals with clearing some of the major reasons why we shut down our breathing to begin with. This second level is effective with healing traumas and negativity in the subconscious mind. This includes old unexpressed emotions sometimes called repressions: negative beliefs, old tapes and past memories, all of which are stored on a cellular level. One of the primary ways to keep them "stuffed" in the subconscious is to shut down and control our breathing. We can reverse this by breathing into the closed places and letting go where we hold onto the breath. With this process, we actually bring up the old emotions, thoughts and memories, and by continuing to breathe into them, integrate these repressions into a higher energy form, thereby creating permanent resolution of these suppressed energies.
In clearing the subconscious mind with Transformational Breath, major areas of dysfunction are dealt with and healed, such as traumas from birth and early childhood, unconscious death urges, parental and authority issues, patterns of self-sabotage, and all other negativity in the subconscious from this and other lifetimes. Transformational Breath is the most effective and joyful means of clearing the subconscious mind available on the planet today!
Once the lower subconscious begins to open and clear, it creates an opening to the higher subconscious, which is the level of soul or our spiritual awareness. This enables us to utilize the third level of Transformational Breath, which is consciously connecting with our higher aspects of conscious reality. Sometimes in level three, people actually have mystical experiences as they become aware of other dimensions and higher aspects of self. All three levels of Transformational Breathing happen in every session, although how much time we spend in each level will vary depending on our individual specific needs. One thing is for certain: every time we do a Transformational Breathing session, we become lighter and clearer, and we permanently raise our vibrational frequency.
You may be wondering how Transformational Breath differs from other breathing processes such as Rebirthing. Rebirthing primarily utilizes upper chest breathing and works on integrating the birth trauma. Transformational Breath uses the full diaphragmatic breath and resolves all incarnational (karmic) traumas. Transformational Breath uses hands on, sound, and conscious invocation to create more effective and complete resolution.
Transformational Breath is also the only breathing modality that focuses on the energies and states you want to create, as opposed to paying attention to the patterns you are trying to release. By breathing in those higher states and intentions, those old negative patterns automatically dissipate. Transformational Breathing is unique, and on the cutting edge of breath work today. The only way to really know what you've been missing is to experience a Transformational Breathing session.

IBC: Adobe Acquires Iridas, To Be 'The Photoshop of Video'
COW Library : IBC Expo : Debra Kaufman : IBC: Adobe Acquires Iridas, To Be 'The Photoshop of Video'
"We aspire to make it the Photoshop of video," says Adobe Systems Director of Video Product Management Bill Roberts, who says that the purchase price remains undisclosed. "That was our goal for Premiere. Color correction is adding to the story."
According to Roberts, Adobe recognized that acquiring an existing color grading company would be the best way of ramping up quickly to offer new toolsets for video. "We wrote up a shopping list of potential companies to acquire and even looked into licensing technology," says Roberts. "We started speaking with IRIDAS at NAB."
The work now is to incorporate IRIDAS' core technology--which includes 2K playback--into the Adobe platform, for an expected Creative Suite version 6 release at NAB 2012. Roberts says that Adobe will make the UI easy for beginners while keeping the toolset powerful enough for veteran users. "[Having color correction] was the No. 1 request from customers," he adds. "It just had to be there. The tools we had weren't going far enough."
Roberts notes that Adobe's purchase of IRIDAS is part of a trend that includes the Blackmagic Design purchase of DaVinci Systems. "It's a function of the market," he says. "As more and more people shoot for latitude, they create the color in post. As the demand for the technology grows, the price commoditizes."
IRIDAS customer, Triggerfish Animation Studios, a Cape Town based studio of professional artists, partnered with San Francisco-based Wonderful Works on the production of the newest, soon to be released animated 3D film, Zambezia 3D.
Adobe also showcased advances in broadcast workflows at IBC 2011. More specifically, the company debuted "significant new versions" of Flash Media Server and Flash Access video delivery and content protection solutions, which includes new support for mobile devices. New features of Flash Media Server 4.5 include delivery to iPad and iPhone, integrated content protection for streaming of advertising-funded online video and on-demand streaming packaging. Flash Access 3.0 also extends support to mobile devices, allowing content providers to utilize a single back-end workflow to the desktop, connected TVs, Blu-ray players, tablets and smartphones. Support on mobile devices includes Android tablets and smartphones among others. Adobe also instituted compatibility with UltraViolet's industry-standard, cloud-based digital rights locker system.
Adobe also demonstrated Adobe Pass, which enables TV programmers and media companies to validate that customers are entitled to view online content based on their pay TV subscription package. Adobe Pass, launched in March of this year, has since been adopted as a TV Everywhere implementation option to a wide number of content providers including Comcast, DirecTV, Dish Network, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon Communications.
One announcement of particular interest to European market is that U.K. broadcaster ITV purchased Adobe Story, an online and offline collaborative script development tool, to manage pre-production of over 500 yearly episodes of its series Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

Is unlocking illegal?
Last updated 06-APR-11Unlocking is legal!
If you want the long answer well here it is. In a 2002 unlocking policy review Ofcom clearly states that locked handsets are a restriction to consumers' freedom to choose the operator they choose, including having the option of using two different services simultaneously to take advantage of different offers (for example using one SIM for your phonecalls, another one for browsing the internet, and another one for calling abroad).
Why, you ask, is locking handsets then legal? Well mobile phone companies often have to subsidise the handset in order to make it affordable. When you buy a phone on a contract you are not paying for it upfront, and when you buy it on pay-and-go it is often cheaper to buy it from a mobile operator than it is to buy it from the manufacturer itself. Mobile companies thus subsidise handsets, and Ofcom deems this increases, rather than diminishes, choice in the market. Seeing as they are paying for part of your phone, it only seems to fair for them to try and retain your custom by making sure you stay with them until they have made this money back. So the bottom line is that, as a customer, you can unlock your phone using whichever method you prefer in order to switch between networks as you choose.
There are also several legitimate, established and respectable businesses that provide unlocking solutions to companies and government bodies who want to switch operators after their contract with their existing supplier has ended.
While unlocking itself is legal, the unlocking industry is riddled with grey areas which you may want to know about if you're going way deep, or considering becoming an unlocker yourself. For example, scandals in the industry involve employees leaking unlock codes and selling them on the black market. You've seen how much these codes can cost, so you can imagine how substantially some individuals are profiteering from this practice. Another grey area surrounds the practice of boxbreaking phones, which consists in restoring them to their factory settings by removing all of the software that came with them. In the UK, this practice is legal, but this is not the case around the world.
One practice that is illegal in pretty much every state with a telecommunications law is the practice of unblocking phones. When handsets are stolen or reported missing their MSISDN is registered and then shared among operators in order for them to refuse to connect the phone to their networks. When a phone is unblocked, its unique identifier is changed so that it can be used again. This effectively makes it possible to use stolen phones.
This is not so much an issue for the regulators as it is for the police itself. Why is this relevant? Because the machines (or boxes) that are used to unlock phones can, in many cases, also be used to unblock them. And while most high street unlockers are upstanding members of the local community providing a useful service, there are some that aid and enable thieves and fraudsters to sell phones which shouldn't be on the market.
As an end customer, the fact that you can unlock your phone and that this is perfectly legal remains. You don't need to worry yourself with this though it is good for you to be aware of it in case you're about to unknowingly become involved in an illegal activity. Remember, under UK law ignorance is no defence! But the law is also on your side with regards to this issue. Mobile phone companies are not allowed to make phones unlockable, plain and simple.


text: A bomb attack targeting an outdoor wedding party in southeastern Turkey killed at least 30 people and wounded 94 others, authorities said Sunday. Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said the "barbaric" attack in the city of Gaziantep, near the border with Syria, on Saturday appeared to be a suicide bombing. Other officials said it could have been the carried out by either Kurdish militants or Islamic State group extremists. Photos taken after the explosion showed several bodies covered with white sheets as a crowd gathered nearby. The Gaziantep governor's office early Sunday raised the death toll from 22 to 30. It said the number of wounded remained at 94. Part two to this story is as followed...This took place before the new terror attack in Turkey. Turkey is ready to accept that the Syrian President Bashar Assad may be part of a transitional period in the country, but insists that he has no place in Syria's future, Turkish Prime Minister told a press-conference. "We may sit and talk (with Assad) for the transition. A transition may be facilitated. But we believe that there should be no (Kurdish rebels), Daesh [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] or Assad in Syria's future," Binali Yildirim told foreign media representatives in Istanbul on Saturday, according to AP. "Could Syria carry Assad in the long-term? Certainly not," Yildirim said."The United States knows and Russia knows that Assad does not appear to be someone who can bring (the people) together." After I discovered this I find that this terrorist attack now smells a little fishy don't you?

We told you a few days ago about the PlayStation 3 firmware update 3.30 that brought initial support for 3D gaming as well as some enhanced trophy features. However, there is also a few new features being reported by Engadget but yet to be tested by us personally. This include toggles for Bitstream (Direct)] and [Bitstream (Mix)] being added as options under [Video Settings] > [BD Audio Output Format (Optical Digital)].
There is also word that future Sony VAIO PC owners will be able to take advantage of remote play features without the use of a PSP or alternative intermediary device. There have also been a few other reports that are unconfirmed including "enhanced region free Blu-ray movie playback" and "updated Flash compatibility". Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will be getting our "Install Other OS" option back until Geohot comes up with a custom firmware.

You might want to pass on that sweet and sour pork, if your blood pressure is high. A new analysis of more than 150 Chinese dishes has found many of them contain such high levels of salt they should carry a warning label because they may pose heart risks.
The analysis — by the advocacy group Action on Salt, backed by 25 expert scientific members — found some some popular some popular Chinese food dishes are more salty than a Big Mac.
The study authors are calling on policymakers to make health labeling mandatory.
"Our data shows that food can be easily reformulated with lower levels of salt, so why haven't all companies acted responsibly?" said Sonia Pombo, Campaign Manager at Action on Salt in a release issued with the study findings.
"The lack of front-of-pack color-coded labeling on branded products makes it incredibly difficult for consumers to make healthier choices and that is simply unacceptable. This week, as part of Salt Awareness Week, we are asking everyone, including the food industry, to think first and use less salt."
The researchers said sweet sour pork, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and other popular dishes sold in supermarkets and at restaurants have such high salt levels they could pose health impacts of "significant concern" .
Out of the tested foods:
"Salt is the forgotten killer as it puts up our blood pressure, leading to tens of thousands of unnecessary strokes, heart failure and heart attacks every year," said Graham MacGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Queen Mary University of London and chairman of Action on Salt.
"Reducing salt is the most cost effective measure to reduce the number of people dying or suffering from strokes or heart disease."

Hi All,
I'm having an issue with supertraits and a
the trait cannot use ``Self`` as a type parameter in the supertraits or where-clauses error
I believe it's related to object safety but it stops be from doing this:
pub trait HVal: PartialEq on a
error[E0038]: the trait `obj::h_val::HVal` cannot be made into an object
--> lib/obj/h_dict.rs:21:41
21 | pub struct HDict(HashTrieMap<String, Box<HVal>>);
| ^^^^ the trait `obj::h_val::HVal` cannot be made into an object
= note: the trait cannot use `Self` as a type parameter in the supertraits or where-clauses
I get further when I don't include
use std::fmt::Debug;
use std::any::{Any,TypeId};
//pub trait HVal: Any + Sync + Send + Debug + PartialEq {
pub trait HVal: Any + Debug + PartialEq {
fn to_zinc(&self) -> String;
fn to_string(&self) -> String {
fn get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId; {
PartialEq in the supertrait list but the equality test will fail
PartialEq for
HDict too. But it won't compile unless the trait
HVal has
PartialEq for it. Catch 22s are always fun :)
HVal for is actually
PartialEq<Rhs=Self>, and there are no impls to compare values of different types that have HVal implemented for them.
PartialEq<Rhs=Self>? Specifically, the syntax of
<Rhs=Self> is confusing
enums for that reason
TypeId of each type and then compare the data itself so I believe it's possible in theory, but getting the compiler to agree with me is the tricky bit!
PartialEq is actually implemented not for a type, but for a pair of types -- "how to compare Type to Rhs". Usually Rhs=Self, which means "how to compare with itself", but that's not required.
PartialEq for a trait as opposed to a type?
impl PartialEq for HVal means implementaion of
PartialEq for trait-object
Thank you all for your feedback! Just saw your suggestion @red75prime and I'm going through it now.
Here's what I did:
use std::fmt::Debug;
use std::any::{Any,TypeId};
//pub trait HVal: Any + Sync + Send + Debug + PartialEq {
pub trait HVal: Any + Debug {
fn to_zinc(&self) -> String;
fn to_string(&self) -> String {
fn _get_type_id(&self) -> TypeId {
impl Eq for HVal {}
impl PartialEq for HVal {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
match self._get_type_id() == other._get_type_id() {
true => self == other,
false => false
And I implemented
PartialEq separately for HDict
signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference but I believe that is a separate issue
TypeId there.
as_any() -> &Any will do better
true => self == other,will recurse infinitely, I think. Is there a compiler warning?
tr_eq in my code should be
right_hand_trait_object_eq, but that's a bit long
signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference error I mentioned earlier?
macro_rules! offset_of {
($ty:ident::$field:ident) => {
let zero = 0 as *const $ty;
let offset = unsafe { &(*zero).$field as *const _ };
offset as usize
struct Foo {
bar: i8,
baz: [i32; 5],
qux: i64,
fn main() {
println!("bar: {}", offset_of!(Foo::bar));
println!("baz: {}", offset_of!(Foo::baz));
println!("qux: {}", offset_of!(Foo::qux));

The Owner Says
If you have ever dreamed of living in a treehouse, high up in the treetops, a living-room treehouse holiday is for you.
They have six Treehouses, each as unique as the trees in which they are built. They are nestled in a hidden valley, in the heart of the Welsh mountains ... close to the sea and to the end of the hippy trail.
Built with care, to blend seamlessly with the beautiful woodlands - a world away from the pressures of modern life.
Cosy wood-burning stoves, flickering candles, fast flowing streams, wobbly bridges, whirling red kites, breathtaking walks and your own gorgeous tree-top home ...
There are just six individual treehouses. Each is located in its own natural environment. Generally they offer two night stays – with arrival at 3pm on Day 1 and departure around 11am on Day 3.
Living-room treehouses feature a luxurious double bed and fold down bunk beds - offering comfortable accommodation for two adults and two children (an extra child can often be accommodated on a day bed if required).
The treehouses are cosy and highly insulated - lovely to live in all year round!
The heart of your treehouse is a woodburning stove which heats the treehouse beautifully; it also heats the water that falls from the spring water shower. There is a kitchen - with everything you need to rustle up a tree-top banquet!
Your treehouse has an ensuite Swedish compost toilet, high in the treetops!
There is no electricity at Treehouse; with lanterns, tea lights and lamps, nights at Treehouse are romantic and peaceful.
*** PLEASE NOTE: Each treehouse is very similar, but when you arrive guests will be allocated the particular treehouse which best fits your requirements***

Eye pain can be a complicated matter because the severity of the pain does not indicate the cause of the discomfort. As noted by AllAboutVision.com, a relatively minor problem, such as a superficial abrasion of the cornea, can be very painful, but a serious eye problem, such as cataracts, macular degeneration or a detached retina, may cause no pain.
The eye's cornea is one of the most sensitive tissues of the body and can be very useful because it's the first line of defense against external injury to the eye. You'll be sure to notice something irritating the front surface of your eye.
Blurred vision, redness and sensitivity to light often accompany eye pain. So what are the common causes of eye pain?
Corneal foreign body
Metal shavings, sawdust and other organic material are common foreign bodies that can become embedded in the surface of the cornea. This pain ranges from mild to severe and is most bothersome when you're blinking.
Blurred vision and sensitivity to light are common and most corneal foreign bodies can be removed in the doctor's office.
Corneal abrasion
To put is simply, this is a scratched cornea. Most of these are not serious. These scratches can be uncomfortable and cause sensitivity to light and watery eyes.
Many scratches will heal on their own within 24 hours, but deeper abrasions can lead to serious eye infection and even a corneal ulcer if left untreated.
It's recommended you see an eye doctor for any sharp discomfort of the eye that doesn't resolve quickly to determine the cause.
Dry eyes
Dry eye usually begins slowly and gradually increases in pain compared to eye pain from a corneal foreign body or abrasion. Dry eyes can sometimes lead to a corneal abrasion because there aren't enough tears to determine the severity of the dryness.
Other eye pain causes
– Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
– Eye infections
– Iritis (inflammation of the iris)
– Contact lens discomfort
What about pain behind your eye? This is usually caused by migraine headaches and sinus infections.
A migraine headache usually has pain behind one eye accompanied by pain elsewhere on the same side of the head. Pain behind the eye from a sinus infection is usually less severe and both eyes may be affected.
If you're suffering from eye pain, please stop in to see the professional eye doctors at Performance Eyecare. Our eye experts give the special attention everyone deserves and will help you get back to living a pain-free life and seeing clearly.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I loathe winter. There is nothing pleasant about snow, cold, ice, or
my attitude during those silly months. When summer days roll around, one would think I've never seen the sun. I can barely contain my excitement when temps are above 70 degrees.
The Soldier Field 10-miler just happened to be on one of the first glorious days of summer. I'd never done the race, but I signed up thanks to the recommendation of friends. I was planning to run 10 miles for my half Ironman training this weekend, so it was perfect timing. It's always more fun to run with friends (and have a beer waiting for you at the end).
My two cents on the race…
The Good
Umm…Everything? Seriously, this was a great race.
- Parking was free and close to the race start. I exited the parking garage and there was my corral! Magic.
- There was a nice tribute prior to race start honoring the fallen men and women that have served our country.
- We were in Corral 8, but we only waited about 15 mins before go time. For the numbers of runners, I was impressed by the short wait time.
- For the first 4.5 miles, we headed south on Lakeshore Drive. There's something cool about running on this always-busy highway.
- Heading to the finish line on Soldier Field felt awesome. I was smiling from ear to ear when I ran under the tunnel and onto the field.
- Military personal were giving out the medals after the race. Many finishers were shaking their hands and thanking them for their service. It was moving, and one of the best race finishes of my life.
- Post race beverage was 312. 'Nuff said.
The Bad
As we were heading south on Lakeshore Drive, I noticed a few runners heading north on the Lakefront path. I told my friends that it didn't look too congested…then I realized those speedsters were the elite pack. Ahh, someday. Maybe. Probably not. For the other 99% of the runners, the path was tight. I was dodging people the final 4 miles. One path and 10,000+ people. Yeah. Tight squeeze. I realize it would be difficult to keep LSD closed for the whole race, but I would love to see an alternative, more spacious route in future years.
The Ugly – Nothing at all!
Overall, I was impressed with this race and will certainly run it again. My average pace per mile was 10:16. Not my fastest race ever, but I finished strong and felt great.
Hope you all had a great weekend! Happy Memorial Day. XO

I have observed for several years now that Conservative ideology prioritizes the right to profit over the needs of the people. Such has always disturbed me. But now that we are living in the "Era of Trump", I have observed a focal point of that general ideology which escalates my concerns to a sense of urgency heretofore unrealized.
I am highly disturbed by the fact that in less than 2 months since Donald J. Trump assumed the Office of the Presidency, that several policies have been enacted or are in the works which result in harmful effects upon CHILDREN.
I find such to be inhumane, indefensible, and unequivocally unacceptable.
Consider the following examples:
1. The Muslim Ban has terrorized and potentially threatened the safety of CHILDREN. Families from war torn region are banned from entering the land of liberty, thus creating terror for the children whose parents must now find a place for their already displaced loved ones to settle and live. Who knows the perils that await such CHILDREN due to this insensitive and inhumane ban against immigration.
2. The Deportation of people whose only "crime" is being here has terrorized and potentially threatened the safety of CHILDREN. Families have been torn apart as children have witnessed their parents taken from their homes and disappeared. School children live in terror that their Mother might not be there after school to take them to the safety and security of their homes. Then once these precious children are home they live in terror that perhaps their Father might not come home in the evening from work as he has done so each and every day of their lives. And then to compound the terror that burdens the minds of these innocent children, they go to bed each night terrified that at sometime during the night their parents might be taken away by the Authorities and disappeared, and that they themselves might be snatched from their beds and taken to places which in their minds could only be perceived as places of horror akin to a living hell.
3. The reversal of President Obama's order to allow transgender children in the Public Schools to utilize the bathroom of their choice will terrorize and potentially threaten the safety of these precious little ones. The insensitivity to the feelings of these already oftentimes misunderstood and all too often maliciously maligned children is reprehensible. The angst that a transgender child will experience by being forced to use a bathroom which is not in accord with the gender identity with which they personally most comfortably identify will terrorize these children, and could potentially lead to mental anguish with long term effects. Not to mention that now those precious children will be more vulnerable to bullying and taunting as a result of this insensitive policy reversal.
4. The prospective repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act threatens the health and general welfare of countless children among the 20 million people who will lose Healthcare should such a repeal take place (as to "the general welfare", such is the responsibility of Congress according to Article 1, Section 8 of our Constitution). In the light of the Trump Administration's insensitivity to the suffering of children in the aforementioned context, I personally see no reason to trust this Administration to replace the ACA with any Healthcare plan which would be better suited to provide for the health needs of our society's children than the ACA itself. That said, I would welcome a Single Payer, Healthcare for all system, but clearly such is so far removed from Conservative ideology in general, that there is no reason to even entertain such becoming a reality so long as this regime rules.
5. The proposed HR 610 Bill threatens the nutritional health of school children nationwide. It is bad enough that HR 610 steals from funding for public schools in order to support private education (which should be paid for out of private pockets), but furthermore by eliminating nutritional standards for school lunches and breakfasts this Administration is shamefully sacrificing the health and general welfare of our public school children for budget cuts and cost saving purposes. In essence, the health of school children is threatened for a price paid for by the public on the return of the enterprise of private education endeavors.
6. Now that House Republicans have voted to allow the dumping of Coal in rivers, and now that President Trump has authorized the building of the DAPL under a major water source in Native American regions, there will be a potential threat to the health of the children who live in those areas of the country. The fact that the Environmental Study related to the DAPL will now not be published, the public will not have access to the environmental and health effects of such, thus sheltering the public from ever knowing the degree of the perils to which the children of those area are being subjected.
The fact that the focal point of many of the current Administration's policies in such a short span of time results in the terrorizing of and potential health threats to innocent children is alarming and disconcerting. Although I am not saying that it is the intent of the current regime to harm children; nonetheless the effect of many of the Trump Administration's earliest policies and decisions has done reprehensible harm to the mental and physical well being of our CHILDREN.
If the potential adverse effects upon CHILDREN is an unsuitable litmus test for an Administration's policies and ideology, then what pray tell can justify the terrorizing and potential health threats to the most innocent and vulnerable of all beings in any given society?
If adverse effects upon children is the price in order to "Make America Great" again, then perhaps such an effort was never such a great idea in the first place, at least as conceived in the mind of Conservative ideology as executed in the Donald J. Trump Presidential Administration.
