Pat Vergne should run for City Council
Take it from one who has known and dealt with him for decades, there is no more honest and capable person in Del Mar than Pat Vergne.
I suggested he run for City Council some years ago but he said he wasn't ready for that.
My hope is that he now is.

People are increasingly finding the courage to confront the depth of the climate emergency. Doing so is far from easy: it requires emotional and spiritual support from others who see the same risks ahead. But far from triggering despair, facing the facts and our fears can galvanise us to act with greater purpose and equanimity.
In Green Christian we want to create places where people can find mutual support on the journey through climate grief and eco-anxiety. It's work which requires new skills, new insights and new ways with words.
Can you help us? We would welcome hearing from anyone who has a contribution to make. If you think you may be able to help, Paul Bodenham would be very pleased to hear from you at
(firstname.lastname@example.com) .
Borrowed Time – initial proposals
Provisional aims:
- to provide safe regenerative spaces, online and in person, where people can work through the emotional, existential and spiritual challenges which the emerging prospects of collapse and extinction provoke
- to empower those participants to offer society new understandings of human identity, relations, purpose and destiny which might unlock urgent political action and economic change
- to form moral pioneers committed to safeguarding social solidarity and making new meanings in a context of turmoil, disorientation and potential civilisational collapse.
Skills and experience sought
A project like Borrowed Time will need to draw on a wide range of skills. Perhaps the skills listed below will be among those we need. If you feel you have something to offer, please get in touch. When you do so, please say if you would be willing to work with the assumptions proposed in the next section.
- Psychology and therapeutic disciplines
- Bereavement counselling
- Palliative care
- Climate science
- Academic humanities
- Pastoral care
- Social change
- Theology and spirituality
- Creative arts
- Project development.
Proposed assumptions
It would help the project to make early progress if those who volunteer could reach early agreement on some basic assumptions. We'd like to propose the following.
- That climate change and other ecological damages could result in societal collapse, potentially in current lifetimes
- That in order to postpone or reduce the risk of collapse, there is an urgent and increasing need for disruptive personal and political choices
- That whatever the success in reducing this risk, action also is now also required to prepare for and adapt to a future of radical uncertainty
- That for most of the participants in the meeting, a Christian faith is a motive for attending, and a frame of reference for interpreting and envisaging a future of profound uncertainty
- That the work of Prof Jem Bendell on Deep Adaptation offers a legitimate account of the global risks, and the responses now required.

Our websites are designed to be mobile friendly and to respond to the size of whatever screen that the visitor is using. That means that a web page viewed on your desktop computer will look completely different on your smartphone.
Our websites automatically re-size and shuffle the content to provide an optimized viewing experience for the visitor using smaller devices. Since more and more people are visiting websites on mobile devices, this feature makes your new website very user friendly. Statistics show that visitors on a mobile phone will often "click away" almost instantly when they arrive at a website that is not optimized for their mobile device. We make sure that doesn't happen when mobile users visit your website.
Should a client decide that a visitor on a smart phone should see an even further "slimmed down" version of their main desktop website, we can help with that too. Creating a separate mobile site, to save on data transfer time, makes the experience on a phone even faster and less expensive for the mobile user. In this case we can provide a duplicate website reduced and reformatted specifically for the speed of a smartphone. Desktop and tablet users may see more than smart phone users just because the bigger screen and faster connections make it more possible. Therefore, the mobile site does not replace your main website, but rather adds another abbreviated option for mobile users.

Throughout her career, she has handled hundreds of divorce cases, including complex matters involving domestic violence, parenting issues, relocation issues, and support issues. She has also helped hundreds of clients achieve a negotiated agreement through mediation by focusing on a client-centered approach.
Shayna's passion for helping clients and her focus on what is most important to them while giving them the support, advice, and guidance throughout the process while they begin a new journey into life has inspired her to continue in her career as family law attorney.
Shayna has spoken on the issue of domestic violence and divorce while collaborating with the Shelter For Abused Women and Children as their contract attorney for 2003-2009. She has served on panels with judges, advocates, and psychologists to engage the discussions of how domestic violence impacts the spouses and children of divorce.

Shayna has also been recognized for giving back to the community as a recipient of the "Giving Back" award through Legal Aid of Collier County. In 2016, Shayna received recognition as a "Top 10" in client satisfaction by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. Shayna has recently been appointed to the Florida Family Law Rules Committee of the Florida Bar.

"Don't get ripped off by in-flight food prices," warns a headline on a release from the U.K.'s Travelsupermarket.com research firm. This report cites markups of more than 1,000 percent on a bottle of still water on Aer Lingus, flapjacks on Flybe, and 7 Up on Ryanair. And lots of other items ranged between 500 percent and 1,000 percent higher than they would cost on in the store. The average markup on hot drinks is 2,355 percent, says Travelsupermarket.com, and the average markup on soft drinks is 370 percent.
My old marketing professor would sneer at those numbers. According to the classic retail method of accounting, markup is always calculated as a percent of the final selling price, not a price over the cost. So a reported 1,000 percent markup would really amount to a 91 percent markup. Still, that's a really big markup. Although the survey involved mainly European airlines, the pattern is likely to be the same everywhere.
Travelsupermarket.com recommends schlepping your own food from home—remembering the security liquid limits—or buying at the airport post-security. You get the message: Airline onboard prices can be ripoffs. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Two million foreign visitors visit the thousand year old Angkor temples in Cambodia a year. The nearest town, Siem Reap, once a quaint colonial French backwater, is now a tourist ghetto with more than 700 hotels, a town dedicated to the US dollar where Cambodia's brutal poverty, corruption and impunity are barely visible to the casual observer – and let's face it, from the tourists to the US and Chinese governments, to the EU and the UN, observers outdo each other in casualness when it comes to everyone's quiet support of one of Asia's best-running kleptocracies.
The tourists come to blankly stare at history, ignore the unpalatable present and engage in communal bad taste, purchasing Orientalist crap in countless souvenir shops. Crocodile leather is all the rage. A wallet doesn't come cheap at around US$200, but for those who have got it all already….
Spiritually refreshing to see a ghost doing a Gary Oldman impression inside Angkor Wat amidst thousands of selfie stick wielding, golf visor wearing Chinese package tourists, digitally overfed suburban backpackers in $2 elephant pants, Buddhist monks from around the region armed with tablets and pretending to meditate, and American physics teachers looking to use their moral guidance to help underage girls grow up.

Dixon, John A. and Durrheim, Kevin (2004) Dislocating identity: desegregation and the transformation of place. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 24 (4). pp. 455-473. ISSN 0272-4944Full text not available from this repository.
Whatever other changes it engenders, desegregation invariably produces a re-organization of space and place, a fact whose implications the psychological literature on the process has generally disregarded. The present article begins to address this gap. Drawing on research on place–identity processes, we argue that desegregation may alter not only the relationship between self and other, but also the relationship between self and place. As such, it may be experienced as a form of dislocation: an event that undermines shared constructions of place and the forms of located subjectivity they sustain. In order to develop this idea, we analyse a series of interviews conducted with holiday-makers on a formerly white but now multiracial beach in South Africa. The analysis demonstrates how white respondents' stories of desegregation evince an abiding concern with the loss of place, manifest in terms of an erosion of a sense of place belonging, attachment and familiarity and an undermining of the beach's capacity to act as a restorative environment of the self. The implications of such accounts for understanding personal and ideological resistance to desegregation are explored. The paper concludes by arguing that this problem provides an opportunity to conjoin environmental and social psychological work.

I Am
Student, Teacher, Runaway, Dropout, Rebel, Mother, Daughter, Disciple, Friend, Wife, Writer, Personal Trainer, Fitness Enthusiast, Coach, Blogger, Poet, Bodybuilder, SA Survivor, College Graduate…these are some of the roles I've lived or am living.
The truth is I've been called a lot of names in my life, but the longer I walk this side of eternity, the more I recognize the only name that I've been called that matters…that sticks, is summed up in three letters: H-I-S.
I am His.
Really, life is pretty simple minus all the labels. Not one of those above labels or roles reveals who I am better than that one possesive pronoun that reminds me of who I belong to; Because who I belong to feels so much more like who I am, than any lives I've ever lived.
I'm a wild daughter of a faithful King, and I'm learning to walk with this One True Living God, one day at a time. By grace through faith.
I 'm a girl on a journey, and I don't mind sharing along the way.

Can I Watch TV on My Laptop, Computer, Phone, or Tablet?

TV FAQs
Just a few years ago, watching shows and movies on your television was the norm. Today, however, it's more common for people to watch TV on their computers, smartphones, and tablets. U.S. viewership of shows and movies on television screens declined 11 percent in 2015, and 89 percent of global TV consumers now watch video content on connected devices.
While Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and other streaming services make it simple to watch certain programs on nearly any connected device, what about cable television? The short answer is that it depends on the provider. For the long answer, keep reading. This article will take a look at the most popular pay TV providers and their streaming capabilities.
DISH makes it easy for customers to watch live and recorded TV on smartphones, tablets, Kindles, computers, and laptops with its DISH Anywhere™ app. As long as you have a connected Sling® Adapter and a Wi-Fi or 3G/4G connection, you can watch live sporting events, news, popular shows, and On Demand titles. Using a broadband-connected Hopper™ Whole-Home HD DVR with a Sling Adapter, you can also manage and set new recordings and transfer select DVR programs to your connected device. The DISH Anywhere™ app is free to current customers, and users can even create multiple profiles so that children can only access safe, kid-friendly content.
Watch DIRECTV® on any of your connected devices with the DIRECTV app. You can access more than 5,000 movies, 10,000 TV shows, and exclusive live events right from the app. Or, to watch content on your laptop or computer, visit a channel's website and sign into your DIRECTV account. While you can watch any channel live on a connected device via your home Wi-Fi network, you can only stream select channels when using a 3G/4G connection or a Wi-Fi network that isn't the one connected with your HD DVR receiver.
AT&T U-verse
AT&T U-verse® customers have access to the U-verse® app, which serves as both a screening platform and remote control. Through the app, you can watch live or On Demand programs, control TV viewing from your connected device, manage your Total Home DVR®, and more. The app is more limited in its availability than others on this list, though it's still available on several popular gadgets, including Amazon, Apple, and Android devices. If you'd prefer to watch programs on your computer or laptop, you can access select channels by visiting participating websites and signing in with your AT&T account.
Cox offers customers two apps. The Cox Connect app allows you to remotely schedule your DVR and check TV listings. The Contour 2 app, on the other hand, allows you to access your favorite shows and movies from your smartphone or tablet, stream from anywhere in your home, or take your programming with you. Cox also participates in the TV Everywhere system, giving subscribers access to content through various third-party TV network apps. Discovery GO, for example, is the newest TV network app accessible with a Cox account, and it offers programming from Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, and several other channels.
Spectrum (Time Warner Cable)
Time Warner Cable® provides users with the TWC TV® app, an app that, like the AT&T U-verse app, functions as both a screening platform and remote control. Available on Kindle Fire HD and HDX and on any Apple iOS or Android device, the app lets you control your TV and DVR, watch TV on any connected device in your home, and stream thousands of On Demand TV shows and free movies from any location with Wi-Fi or a 3G/4G connection. As with other apps on this list, certain channels aren't accessible if you are using the app outside of your home.
Now that you know how these five popular providers allow you to watch TV on your laptop, computer, smartphone, and tablet, it's time to determine which provider best fits your needs.

Whenever your extraction is complete we put a surgical gauze pad over the region that should be kept in place for a minimum of the one-half hour to get rid of all blood in the surgical location. The moment your tooth extraction was completed, your dentist must supply you with two sets of aftercare instructions. It is done under local anesthesia and many pain disappears within a week. Based on the circumstance, wisdom tooth extraction in Dumfries, VA can be easy and quick or very tough. It needs to be completed in the second trimester that's the safe period of pregnancy. Every time a different wisdom tooth extraction is being arranged an overall sedative will probably be utilized.
Some teeth are somewhat harder to remove for a number of reasons, especially about the tooth position, the kind of the tooth roots and the integrity of the tooth. If needed, all four wisdom teeth could be taken out at the identical visit, particularly if general anesthesia is used. Removing an impacted wisdom tooth demands dental surgery, particularly when it has not completely grown over the gum line.
At times, teeth should be removed because of decay, disease or trauma. Immediately following your tooth was pulled, some sum of bleeding will occur, maybe for some moment. If all of the wisdom teeth aren't being extricated a locality anesthesia is going to be used on every tooth prior to the wisdom tooth extraction system. As they are not important for maintaining a proper occlusion, or bite, they are frequently extracted. They are situated at the back of our mouths and as a rule come through around age 18, though they might be much later. "Wisdom teeth" may look like a misnomer, especially since people frequently have to get them removed. Impacted wisdom teeth are really common.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Secrets That No One Else Knows About
Surgical extractions almost always need an incision. It may be needed if the tooth is partially or completely in the jawbone or if it is tough to remove for some other reason. Surgical extractions are from time to time required for teeth that have to be removed but can't readily be acquired by the dentist. The harder extractions could be made easier for the person by using sedation. As dental extractions may vary tremendously in difficulty, based on the person and the tooth, wide selection of instruments exist to address certain scenarios. Historically, they have been used to treat a number of illnesses. Wisdom teeth extractions are common and rarely lead to serious complications.
The Upside to Wisdom Tooth Extraction
In orthodontics in case the teeth are crowded, sound teeth may possibly be extracted ( often bicuspids) to make space so the remainder of the teeth can be straightened. Typically, it's better to find wisdom teeth removed in early maturity if needed. Wisdom tooth ought to be removed with the minimum of injury while pregnant. If wisdom teeth have to be removed, it's preferable to remove them early when you're young rather than waiting until a periodontal disease has begun. Wisdom Tooth is the name provided to the third molars. In case the wisdom tooth is hard to get out the specialist might want to cut or break the tooth into smaller pieces to create the wisdom tooth extraction surgery easier.
Occasionally a tooth might be impacted so tightly it cannot be simply lifted from the gums. Wisdom teeth are the most often removed teeth. When the wisdom teeth are out, stitches could possibly be applied if needed. Impacted wisdom teeth ought to be eliminated before their root structure is wholly developed.
Every tooth has a minimum of a single root. If it completely erupts in the dental arch, then simple tooth extraction may also be performed to pull the wisdom tooth out. In case the tooth isn't causing problems, your dentist isn't going to need to eliminate it. Before it is removed, it is examined together with the mouth. So if the rest of the teeth are healthy and found there may be inadequate space for the wisdom teeth to come through properly. While permanent teeth were supposed to be just that, there are a number of reasons why a tooth may want to get removed including injury, severe decay or infection, and crowding (a deficiency of room in your mouth for each of your teeth). Impacted teeth can lead to a selection of issues, but in addition, it needs to be noted they may cause no problems whatsoever.
In the event, more than 1 tooth has to be extracted at the exact same time the individual is provided a general anesthesia. Whenever your wisdom teeth are well-positioned and fit, they are extremely important. If a wisdom tooth is impacted, you are going to be experiencing some pain and ought to get to a dentist without delay. Whenever you have wisdom teeth that will need to be eliminated, there's a heightened chance that you may experience some signs. A lot of people develop impacted wisdom teeth which don't have sufficient room to erupt in the mouth or develop normally.

Disney heroes are difficult to write about, everyone has their own favourite. It covers such a wide spectrum of films that it's difficult to pin down exactly who is a Disney hero. Unlike Disney Princesses, you can't just go by who has a crown and who doesn't. So here is my personal list of Disney heroes.
10. Hercules (Hercules)
An obvious choice, I know. What more can I say, he's a Greek God, you can't really miss him off a heroes list!
9. Kermit the Frog (The Muppets)
How can the friendly green amphibian not appear on the list? His determination and strong will bring The Muppets back together when the Muppets Studios is in danger. His undying love for Miss Piggy gets him travelling the world to win her heart again.
8. The Genie (Aladdin)
He may be a prisoner in his own home, but really the Genie is his own saviour. He leads Aladdin down the right path to his happiness and so grants the Genie his freedom. The Genie's wise cracks, and kind heart make him the comedic hero, and everyone's favourite character.
Flynn, or rather Eugene, is very much an anti-hero. He very much does not want to be the suave and sophisticated prince who sweeps the princess off her feet, all he wants is a beautiful house with a view to match – and will do anything to get it and accidentally rescuing a princess was very much not on his to-do list!
6. Jim Hawkins (Treasure Planet)
Treasure Planet is a forgotten about Disney film – even though it was nominated for an Oscar! Those who have seen it absolutely love it, myself included. Jim, like most Disney characters, just follows his heart to take control of his dreams. Travelling through space with an unlikely band of misfits, Jim learns about the best things in life, and that maybe, just maybe, she should have listened to his mother!
Sally is a sorely underrated character. When Jack Skellington wishes to take over holiday that he knows nothing about it probably wasn't the best idea in the world. Neither was kidnapping the only man who can take control of the holiday, but Sally stayed by his side through the entire thing. She was ultimately the one who saved the day. She warned Jack of the doom he would face if he tried to take control of Christmas, and even tried to sabotage the take off. Ultimately she saves the day by rescuing Santa Claus from Oogie Boogies lair.
4. Mrs Potts (Beauty and the Beast)
The loveable teapot, with an even more lovable teacup son, is the mother of the Beast's castle. She looks after everyone, from The Beast to Maurice and Belle. She also seems to be the only character that the Beast actually listens to. Her voice of reason never waivers and she's always there whenever anyone needs her. The kind hearted piece of china does have a mean streak though – commanding the other teapots to pour scalding tea over the invading villagers!
3. Merida (Brave)
Merida, the flame haired Scotswoman, is determined to be in control of her own destiny. Her mother expects her to be an elegant princess but Merida has better ideas. She is a better archer than all the men, and plans to stay that way. She's a role model to many young women, and rightly so! She does what she loves and follows her heart – a trait that many people would love to have.
2. Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)
Unlike most of the princesses in Disney films, Tiana comes from very humble beginnings. Working extra hard for everything she wants, Tiana achieves her dreams by working hard and never giving up. Even when a prince comes along and whisks her off her feet (and into frog form), and gets married it doesn't let it change her. No golden palace for Tiana, just her own dream restaurant and a man she loves.
1. Mulan (Mulan)
She disguises herself as a man and goes off to war to ensure her elderly father doesn't have to. She keeps her identity a secret when faced with adversity, overcoming her downfalls to become one of the best soldiers. She helps to save the Emperor from the Huns AND happens to fall in love along the way! Mulan well and truly deserves the top spot on my list best Disney heroes!
If you hadn't have guessed, I'm a bit of a fan of the strong independent women! Disney is often criticised for making their female characters very dependant on their princes, but as you can see, it's not really the case. The more modern Disney films have women holding their own, and kicking butt the same amount as the men!
Who is your favourite Disney hero?

Energy & Thermogenics
FOR THE UNCOMMON ATHLETE Your goals aren't conventional, Your workouts aren't ordinary. You demand supreme performance, and that's what LeanFire Ultimate® was designed to deliver:
Force Factor's formulators spared no expense in creating our most premium thermogenic yet. LeanFire Ultimate is rooted in three core principles: precise cognitive energy without caffeine jitters, advanced body heat escalation to melt fat via thermogenesis, and the ability to burn more fat relative to muscle with Verilean® for better tone and definition.
But LeanFire Ultimate doesn't stop there; it rises above. We scrapped cliché ingredient combinations that hold other fat burners back, in an effort to engineer a truly exceptional thermogenic that doesn't just live up to its promises, but goes well beyond.
Until you try LeanFire Ultimate, you simply have no idea what your workouts have been missing. If you're prepared to fully Unleash Your Potential®, LeanFire Ultimate is for you.
DOUBLE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS‡ In addition to helping you burn more fat relative to muscle to maximize tone and definition, Verilean, the potent key ingredient in LeanFire Ultimate, helps you more than double your weight loss In a clinical study, participants who took Verilean and maintained a low-calorie diet for 60 days lost and average of 10.95 lbs. The placebo group only lost an average of 5.4 lbs.
‡Results from a 60-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of African green coffee bean extract (Coffea canephora)
UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL® Two immensely powerful blends drive LeanFire Ultimate's extraordinary results. Dozens of variations of the formula were meticulously tested before arriving at the ultimate profile.
Thermovigilance® is a new concept championed by the full line of LeanFire® supplements, including LeanFire Ultimate®. One of the worst aspects of a strong thermogenic is the stimulant-fueled crash it produces. The scientific symbiosis of precisely dosed caffeine anhydrous and L-theanine we call thermovigilance is designed to help eliminate this dreaded and unpleasant side effect, delivering quick, smooth energy with far fewer jitters.

Whole Food Food Storage
Wanting to add whole food food storage to your pantry? At PrepSOS.com you will find more whole food meal options and combinations than you would have ever thought possible. Our survival meal kits will please your taste buds and keep you and your kids coming back for more.
While whole food food storage may sound a bit redundant you will fell great knowing that your shelves are packed with emergency preparation items that will last at least twenty years within the proper temperatures. Our whole food emergency food supply buckets include meal kits, single vegetable items, vegetable variety pails, single fruit kits, fruit variety kits, soups, rice, beans, oatmeal, drinks, milks, dinner kits, lunch kits, breakfast kits, and many more.
Whole foods are not processed or refined (or refined as minimally as possible) and because of this are far more nutrient dense than foods and supplements that are not whole. Every step of the processing of foods decreases the quality and abundance of healthy nutrients. Whole foods help to deliver these nutrients to the body more effectively and are more easily absorbed. They typically do not have additional ingredients such as salt, added carbs, or fat.
Our whole food survival kits and food supplies are processed as little as possible and are dried using low-heat methods and their nutrient quality and density are regular tested during their dehydration and packing steps. Whole foods are not to be confused with organic. Just because a food is organic doesn't automatically mean that it is whole and vice versa. The U.S. Food & Drug Association (also know as the FDA) give the definition of whole grains ones that still contain its original bran, endosperm, and same germ as its original state.
You will love our whole food selection so much that you will want to rotate through it regularly and can stock up for an emergency, natural disaster, unexpected job less, civil unrest or any other hardship in which the shelves at the local stores will be quickly made empty by frantic "non-preppers."

Nearly half of the children under five years of age in India have stunted growth mainly because of zinc, iron and vitamin A deficiency, according to a new study.
Anaemia affects 79 per cent of children in the lowest wealth quintile and 64 per cent in the highest wealth quintile, the analytical study by medical journal Lancet's series on maternal and child under-nutrition said.
While a host of issues like lack of or no breastfeeding, contributed to these severe conditions, deficiency of zinc or vitamin A is the major factor, according to Dr Robert Black of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Maryland, who is one of the compilers of the series.
In India, for example, around 30-40 per cent of children have zinc and vitamin A deficiency, Dr M K Bhan, secretary, department of biotechnology said. The reason for this can be found in the diet patterns in India, with many people being vegetarians.
Black said apart from boosting nutrition levels, zinc has been found to be a major help in tackling diarrhoea. "If given till two weeks, then we can prevent recurrence of the disease in children."
Bhan said in most Indian households, it was more a problem of knowledge than poverty and thus the problem could be solved if a publicity campaign was launched.
A major fallout of the under-nutrition till two years of age is that the children develop lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart problems, he said.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE to find this song, besides this guy's homemade video. Butch Walker's version of this great song is just infectious. And I don't know who Taryn Manning is, but her voice blends perfectly with Butch's.
Butch Walker has written a ton o'hits for everyone from Pink to Sum 41 and a bunch of other artists I can't recall at the moment. I've seen him live three times – once with his former band Marvelous3 back in the nineties and twice as a solo artist. The last time was on my birthday in 2016; the company I was with was divine and few people put on a better live show than Butch. It was one of the best birthday's ever. If he comes to your town you must see him live!

in Physiology
Frontiers in Physiology would like to extend a warm welcome to Professor Kaestner and Professor Bogdanova as Specialty Chief Editors for the section Red Blood Cell Physiology, wholly dedicated to publishing red blood cell research.Read More
The red blood cell research field has undergone an explosive burst for the past decade. These cells making up more than 65% of all cells in our body, and increasingly complex approaches like in vitro erythropoiesis systems and new technological developments enable us to look deep into their structure and function. We continue to learn about the mechanisms behind hereditary anemias and develop new personalized therapeutic strategies. Attempts are also being made to grow individual blood types in bioreactors and develop advanced red blood cell storage protocols to improve the efficacy of transfusions. This exciting area of basic and translational research is covered in this new section of Frontiers in Physiology, Red Blood Cell Physiology. The following topics will be addressed:
- Red cells production, maturation, senescence and clearance
- Red cell biochemistry and metabolism
- Red cell biophysics and mechanical properties of single cells
- Rheology and hydrodynamic properties of blood
- Molecular signaling, membrane transport and cell-cell interactions
- Transfusion medicine
- Red cell diseases: pathophysiology, diagnostics, drug development and therapy
- Adaptation of red cells to stress, including sport and exercise
- Technological approaches to study red blood cell turnover, structure and function
- Comparative physiology
The Red Blood Cell Physiology section encourages the submission of interdisciplinary studies.

Last post for 2012: Pictures of my ROM dinner!
After the solemnization ceremony in the capsule, we adjourned to O'Learys for a buffet dinner. I was actually quite pissed with O'Learys prior to my ROM as they took forever to reply my emails and they even told my Singapore Flyer coordinator that the venue might not be available for my dinner even though I had confirmed things earlier.
They took more than 3 weeks to get back to me. People working in service sector shouldn't take more than 3 working days to reply emails in my opinion.
I had wanted to cater a bus and go to a hotel for a yummy buffet dinner instead. In the end, O'Learys replied that the venue was available and Skai (ChingChongBoy) didn't want to travel so I reluctantly settled for O'Learys.
Thankfully the service staff were great! They even helped me put up the lovely wedding poms sponsored by ShopMerryLove. So, I guess, all is forgiven.
Same as my previous solemnization post, I'm going to spam you with pictures.
Before I do so, here's some fun facts!
- The wedding poms and props were kindly sponsored by ShopMerryLove
- We chose an outdoor area instead of indoor as we felt that the outdoor area was more intimate and the indoor area's decor (sports theme) was a bit too funky for us
- We encouraged guests to take a pic with the polaroid camera and paste the pic with well-wishes in our guestbook.
- Our videographer The Wedding Paparazzi videoed the guests sharing their well-wishes.
- My lovely ribbon roses bouquet was kindly sponsored by my blogfriend Shanobyl!
Enjoy the pictures!

It's been a year since we wrote our first Tai Seng eats blogpost, and much has changed since then. Aside from some new additions to the industrial area's culinary landscape and new additions to the team, the biggest change for us to date is moving to our own office space! However, this also meant bidding farewell to our lunch haunts from the past year.
That said, we're always up for new makan discoveries; just ask our CTO and resident lunch bell, Kenneth S. So, armed with our appetites and a spirit of adventure, we've scoured the vicinity for a new list of places to have lunch in Tai Seng and Ubi – and here they are, in our own words!
Start point (our NEW office!):
61 Ubi Road 1, Oxley Bizhub, S'408727
1. For a quick lunch fix:
Food Hub
1 Ubi Road 1, #01-17, Oxley Bizhub, Singapore 408727
Food Hub (L); the popular Nasi Padang (R)
Having Food Hub just three floors below us is convenience personified! This is especially helpful on a tight schedule, because we can steal away for a few minutes to buy lunch and dine 'al-desko'.
This hub for food (what else could it mean, right?) has eight stalls offering standard food court fare, like yong tau foo (Ah Chong Yong Tau Foo, Stall 1, from $4.20), roasted meat rice/noodles (Rong Kee, Stall 4, $3.50-$4), and nasi padang (Mr Nasi Padang, Stall 2, $3 for dishes and $5.50 for rice sets), which close to half the colleagues raved about when polled.
"Mr Nasi Padang has the BEST nasi padang in Tai Seng. Confirm plus chop. If that's not convincing enough, I chop again."
– Kelly, Junior Designer
There are also three vending machines located at the back door: a snack machine, a Pop Box machine that sells popiah ($2) and wraps ($3.50), and an Ice Cream Fun Vending Machine – a sure win catcher game that allows for unlimited attempts at just $2.50. All we needed was four tries to get a vanilla cone – sure win, indeed!
(L-R) The sure win ice cream machine and the Mr Popiah vending machine at Food Hub
Try at your own risk: "The wanton mee here gave me diarrhoea for three straight days, but hey, it could allow you maximum diet efficiency if that's your goal!" – Arvin, Managing Director
"My pork rib soup [from the Pig's Organ Soup stall, stall 2] was rather bland… not great." - Lizzy, Junior Digital Strategist
AKÏN-sider tips: "The fruit slices sold here are pricier than some of our other eating haunts, so you might as well bring your own from home! I certainly won't be parting with my $1.60 for a small slice of rock melon. Although the mixed fruits box ($2.50) is pretty decent." – Michelle, Jedi Wordsmith
"There's a nice guy (maybe the manager) who always waves us over to a table as he's clearing it. If you have the fortune of meeting him, maybe he'll find you a table too. Huat ah!" – Kenneth S
2. For a hearty (and very filling) meal:
C&L Cafe
81 Ubi Avenue 4, UB.ONE, S'408830
C&L Cafe (L); a mountain of food from the economic rice stall (R)
A month into patronising this eatery located just next to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) headquarters, one question continues to eat at us: what exactly does the C and the L stand for?
Could it refer to how the Coffee is Legit – so legit that it even has a queue system for its customers? Or how the economy rice (or caifan) stallholders love serving Crazy Loads of food to the hungry hordes?
The drinks ordering system (L); the amazing, multitasking caifan uncle (R)
"If I had the authority to issue Michelin stars, I'd give the caifan stall a moon."
– Harris, Strategy Lead
Whatever the name might mean, one thing's for sure: there are always Consistently Long queues at most of the stalls, so time yourselves to ensure you can grab a table for your group!
AKÏN-approved makan: "Amirul had a plate of steamed chicken rice ($3) from the Muslim Hainanese Chicken Rice stall one day, and it looked so good! I totally regretted not having it then, but now I make sure I have it when I visit. The owners have certainly perfected the recipe of this Singaporean favourite, with its flavourful rice and tender chicken." – Michelle
"It is indeed chicken rice bestowed by the gods that govern Tai Seng."
– Amirul, Junior Designer
AKÏN-sider tips: "If the aunty at the noodle stall tries to sway you into ordering their zhajiangmian ($3.50) , hold your ground and order whatever else you'd initially wanted! Their noodles are really handmade though, and has a nice chew to it." - Michelle
"Post-lunch food coma is real, especially here." – Liz, Brand Marketing Lead
3. For those in the mood to walk:
Hoha Eating Place (好合上餐室)
33 Ubi Avenue 3, #01-35, Vertex, S'408868 (access via Ubi Road 2)
Hoha Eating House (L); try the roast meats from KL Charcoal Roasted Delights (R)
Hoha Eating House is one of two eateries located at the Vertex building (the other being Ubi 33 Eating House, reviewed below), known for their vegetarian food and Ken's Kitchen caifan - no relation to either of our Kens, though!
We rarely visit this eatery usually referred to as 'Vertex 1', but we still have some food memories lingering in our minds:
AKÏN-approved makan: "When a stall has 'KL' in its name, you know for sure the food will be good - just like how the roast pork at KL Charcoal Roasted Delights is da best." - Harris
"Nasi padang served by cool vendors! Super spicy gravy and their sambal takes me back to my Indonesian roots. Portion is great, though more meat = greater hole in your wallet." - Kelly
4. For a taste of IPO kopi-o:
Ubi 33 Food House
33 Ubi Avenue 3, #01-08, Vertex, S'408868
Ubi 33 Food House (L); bak chor mee from Qiang Ji Minced Meat Noodle (R)
Yes, you read that right. Kimly Limited, the operators of Ubi 33 Food House, made the news a while ago for their strong trading debut at the Singapore Exchange. The good news aside, it's still business as usual at the Vertex building's other canteen, which serves up a range of local food and drink staples across eight stalls. But is their food just as worth investing in?
AKÏN-approved makan: "The bak chor mee ($4.30) at Qiang Ji Minced Meat Noodle has 'QQ' noodles, lots of minced meat and the right brand of vinegar. Lovely." – Kenneth T, Senior Designer
Try at your own risk: "The beef in the Korean stall's BBQ beef hotplate ($5.50) is pale, sad, and mixed together with the funkiest garlic. Don't even get me started on the soup. If you're ever in the mood for Korean, do NOT pay a visit here. You'd just be in a bad mood after that." - Amirul
5. For good food to boost the mood:
Wong Poh Kopitiam
Blk 3004 Ubi Ave 3 #01-124 S'408860
Wong Poh Kopitiam (L); prata from Bani Prathas (M); wanton mee from Hai Sheng Noodle House (R)
Just across the road from Ubi 33 is Wong Poh Kopitiam, which the Kenneths and Harris chanced upon on a random exploration. The rest of us had their lives changed a little later - but better late than never, we say!
"I like that Kopitiam because it's well lit and bright. It's happy place to come to."
– Kenneth S
Indeed, this eating place is probably the most aesthetically pleasing out of the lot, with its brightly-lit and well designed interior. It also offers an interesting variety of food, and is quite possibly the few places in the area with a roti prata stall (Bani Prathas Best Crispy Prata – prices start from 90 cents for a plain prata – minimum purchase of 2). There is also a bakery (Juz Bake) that sells different kinds of bread, tarts and mini-cakes, perfect for an afternoon bite back at the office.
AKÏN-approved makan: "$3.50 for a bowl of wanton mee (from Hai Sheng Noodle House) that is as nice as and cheaper than Fei Fei Wanton Mee! Fresh noodles with generous serving of lean and tender char siew slices, tossed in flavourful chilli and pork lard oil."
- Deborah
"The plain prata was crispy-crispy to perfection and the egg prata ($1.50) was soft and crisp at the edges, just that the portion was small. I ordered an additional chicken drumstick ($2.50) with my curry and it was so tender. But how can one drumstick be more expensive than 2 pratas?!" - Kelly
Try at your own risk: "The iced Milo ($1.50) that I ordered was quite diluted. A rather unfortunate way to end a decent meal." - Michelle
6. For a Michelin-star taste of civilization:
18 Tai Seng
18 Tai Seng Street, S'539775
Exterior of 18 Tai Seng (from Tai Seng Street)
18 Tai Seng was under steady construction for most of our time at the previous office, and had its soft launch just two weeks before we moved further up the road.
The F&B offerings here bring a much needed variety to the industrial vicinity, featuring familiar names like Fun Toast (#B1-01), LiHo (#B1-11), Long John Silver's (#01-31/32) and Harry's Bar + Dining (#01-23/25), along with new eateries like 18'Grill (#01-26), Green Croft (#01-K2) and Huggs Coffee (#01-K1) adding to the tenant list. But that's not all – it also boasts its own selection of Michelin star restaurants, like Tim Ho Wan (#01-34/39), Liao Fan Hawker CHAN (#01-02) and Tsuta Ramen (#01-01).
"Hawker CHAN already has a Michelin star, so I guess the only thing I can give is MY RESPECT." - Harris
The service offerings at 18 Tai Seng are also most certainly a joy for office workers in the area, who can now go grocery shopping at FairPrice (#B1-13), get a haircut at kcuts (#01-18), or drop off their washing at Lagoon Laundry (#B1-17) during lunchtime.
"I'm just glad we have a supermarket within walking distance now!" – Rachel
AKÏN-approved makan: "I really like Hawker CHAN because despite it being Michelin-starred and air-conditioned, a plate of noodles or rice is around $5. Finish off your meal with a soya ice cream ($1.50) at Mr Bean (#B1-12)." - Liz
"Sunny Korean (#B1-03/04) offers very affordable Korean food! The rice cake soup was not bad, though there weren't many ingredients but the rice cakes were nice and chewy yay. The hot plate dishes also look and smell good." - Deborah
Try at your own risk: "Saddest Mr Bean porridge ($3) in the history of Mr Bean porridge in Singapore. 'An idiot sandwich!' as chef [Gordon] Ramsay would say. They gave me a portion for ants - 1 tiny tofu and 1 vege-meatball with 7 edamame beans. The porridge was so bland, eating plain rice would've brought me more joy." - Kelly
AKÏN-sider tips: "I had life-changing wanton mee at Jia Xiang Sarawak Kolo Mee (#01-30). It's oil based, kind of like Fei Fei Wanton Mee on steroids, with abalone included! Don't be fooled by the size though, you'll get real full after just one bowl. Eat after 8pm and you may even get extra ingredients!" - Arvin
Other recent lunch haunts:
Pasta King – a cozy Italian restaurant run by a couple from Rome.
81 Macpherson Lane, #01-53, S'360081
One KM Mall – for days we feel like driving out of the area. So far, we've eaten at Fika Swedish Café and Bistro (#02-K3) and Old Town White Coffee (B1-K26/27)!
11 Tanjong Katong Road, S'437157
Lorong Ah Soo Market – duck rice all day err day (Ming Fa Duck Rice, #02-01)!
105 Hougang Ave 1, S'530105
We hope this 'AKÏN-sider' list serves as a helpful guide for cheap eats in Tai Seng and Ubi. We're also always up for new lunch haunts – recommend us a place around the area in the comments and we'll give it a go! Happy lunching!

Case Summary:
This is a review of an appeal filed by a whiplash lawyer contesting a lower court's ruling which dismissed the Plaintiff's lawsuit and granted the Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment.
The Plaintiff in this case had been struck by an SUV while driving and suffered various injuries to his back. The Plaintiff hired a whiplash lawyer and attempted to sue the auto insurance company of the SUV's driver, but a lower court had held that his injuries were not severe enough to allow the suit to proceed.
The Plaintiff's attorney appealed the decision and presented to the court medical evidence that the man's injuries met the state definition of severe.
Statement of Facts…
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 2nd, Herm Rose was on his way to work. He was in the far right lane travelling eastbound on Interstate 35 when an SUV belonging to the Universal Truck Corporation pulled alongside of him. Suddenly, and without warning, the SUV cut in front of Rose, in a failed effort to get off at the exit they had just passed.
As the SUV cut in front of Rose, the right front quarter panel of the vehicle collided with the front bumper of Rose's car, forcing Rose's car off the road and onto the shoulder where it came to rest.
Universal's driver was not injured. Rose claimed to be injured and was taken to the local hospital by ambulance. There he told the admitting physician he was suffering from pain and discomfort to his neck, shoulder, and right leg.
An MRI examination indicated Rose may have suffered the following injuries:
- Possible tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg
- Herniation of the cervical spine at the C5-C6 level
- Paracentral disk herniation of lumbar spine at L5-S1 level
- Rotator cuff impingement of the left shoulder
- Soft tissue injuries surrounding shoulder
No fractures were detected. Rose was discharged from the hospital without having to be admitted. He was instructed to seek physical therapy.
The next day Rose retained a whiplash lawyer to represent him in a claim against Universal. The lawyer sent Rose to a chiropractor. The chiropractor examined Rose and determined he would benefit from electronic stimulation, whirlpool immersion, and massage therapy.
Rose's treatment went on for eight weeks, during which time the chiropractor instructed Rose to rest and not return to work.
Rose's whiplash lawyer entered into negotiations with Universal's insurance company. Rose alleged he suffered "Serious Bodily Injuries," and as a result should be exempt from the state's no-fault insurance law which required him to seek compensation for his medical bills from his own insurance company.
Rose knew if his injuries weren't considered serious, he would only be able to recover compensation for his medical bills and a small amount for his out of pocket expenses from his own carrier. Also, he wouldn't be able to sue Universal for his pain and suffering, which meant he would be denied what could be a very substantial amount of compensation.
Universal's lawyers were intent on proving Rose's injuries did not rise to the level of the state's no-fault insurance law's definition of serious bodily injuries. Universal knew if it could prove that, then the court would dismiss Rose's lawsuit.
Within 30 days of the filing of Rose's lawsuit, Universal filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. The Motion for Summary Judgment would ask a judge (and not a jury) to examine the case and decide if it was worth having a jury hear.
When granting a Motion for Summary Judgment, the Court might point to such flaws as there not being enough material evidence in the case, or the Plaintiff has not shown how the Defendant could be liable.
In this case, Universal argued that the injuries weren't serious enough for the lawsuit to continue, and that the law was clear on what it considered serious injuries. They asked the Court to examine the evidence of Rose's injuries and make a simple yes/no determination.
If the Court agreed with Universal, then the appeal would end and the case would be dismissed.
The Hearing…
Key to both sides' line of argument was the specific definition of Serious Bodily Injury the state used for the no-fault insurance.
This state in particular defined "Serious Bodily Injury" as:
"…an injury which results in death, dismemberment, disfigurement, loss of a fetus, loss of a body organ, permanent loss of use of a body part, or medically determined injury or impairment which prevents a victim from performing his normal activities for 90 days or more."
At the hearing on the Motion for Summary Judgment the Plaintiff's whiplash lawyer offered into evidence one Medical Affidavit, and one Chiropractic Affidavit. The first Affidavit was from the emergency room physician. The Affidavit was a confirmation of the diagnosis made by the doctor at the time Rose was initially seen in the emergency room right after the collision.
The diagnosis was a possible tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in Rose's right knee, a possible herniation of his cervical spine at the C5-C6 level, a possible paracentral disk herniation of his lumbar spine as the Ld-S1 level, and a possible rotator cuff impingement of the left shoulder and injuries to the surrounding soft tissue.
The second Affidavit was from the chiropractor who treated Rose. The Affidavit stated Rose received electronic stimulation, whirlpool immersion, and massage therapy for a period of eight weeks, and that Rose was still suffering from some pain and discomfort.
In a personal injury case the state's Rules of Evidence permit a Defendant to have the Plaintiff examined by doctors of his choice.
Universal had Rose examined by two orthopedic surgeons and offered their Medical Affidavits into evidence. The first Affidavit conflicted with the diagnoses of Rose's emergency room physician, as well as the chiropractor's.
The first Affidavit stated upon examination Rose's injuries could not be confirmed; that after asking Rose to perform standard range of motion movements Rose was able to do so with little pain and discomfort. Rose still though did suffer some limitation of range of motion in his right leg.
The second Medical Affidavit stated that upon examination Rose's injuries had not been fully resolved, although range of motion in his neck, shoulder back, and right leg were within two weeks of being fully resolved.
After hearing evidence presented by both sides and the arguments of counsel, the Court found Rose did not present sufficient evidence to prove to the Court's satisfaction his injuries lasted for more than 90 days after the collision.
The Court went on to say although it was clear Rose suffered injuries, his injuries did not rise to the level of the state's no-fault insurance law definition. The Court therefore upheld the lower Court's decision and dismissed Rose's case.
Important Points…
- In those states which have adopted no-fault insurance regulations, injuries resulting from personal injury cases must meet a very high standard. If the Court determines there isn't sufficient evidence to meet the state law's requirements, the case will be dismissed.
- A Motion for Summary Judgment is a powerful tool. When properly supported by evidence, the Court's granting of the motion will result in the dismissal of the Plaintiff's case.

Andrew Torba leads by example, a trait he says requires deep self-knowledge. "It requires a lot of introspection as well as the ability to find people who compliment your skills while also sharing your passion," he says.
As CEO and co-founder of Kuhcoon, a social media management service for businesses around the world, Torba cites hard work, discipline, faith, and tenacity as ingredients for success.
Always navigating away from what "everyone else" is doing, he lives in the future, thinking through the next several months or years meticulously and planning to reach his goals. However, he says, ideas are worthless unless you, "Execute. Execute. Execute. Don't waste time talking about ideas, go out and make them come to life."
"The world around us is changeable with many problems to be solved. At the end of the day that's what an entrepreneur is, a problem solver," he says.
As CEO his job responsibilities vary, but include those of an accountant, salesman, manager, strategist, marketer, or whatever else happens to pop up. His No. 1 passion is social media marketing and he keeps a constant focus on every single client. "The best part of my day is waking up and going to a job I love with the most talented individuals in northeastern Pennsylvania. Nothing can ever replace the freedom of being an entrepreneur," says Torba.
His parents are the core influence in his life, they both taught him to stand up for what he believes in. His professor, advisor, and friend, Teresa Grettano, is his mentor, who helps him see the world through a different lens. He is also grateful to business co-founder Charles Szymanski, his best friend since eighth grade.
His many goals include more offices, including one on the West Coast and in London within the year and to continue building Kuhcoon into a billion-dollar company.

Computer simulation is developed from real-life simulation. Simulation is simply a recreated event, or an imagined event that hasn't happened. Using computers to simulate events made the process cheaper and more presentable. Rather than creating a scene with actors and scenery to emulate an event, computer simulation creates a location that can easily be manipulated or reworked to account for different viewing angles or alternative scenarios. Virtual reality lets the viewer step into a simulation and manipulate objects directly, rather than view the scenario as though it were a film.
Computer simulation
Simulation operated by computers has applications in many fields including entertainment, crime detection and medicine. Its usefulness depends on the source data entered and its authority as a predictive tool is only as good as the model set up within the simulation. For example, a pressure group determined to "prove" a point to advance their beliefs might enter a scenario that shows the future in a manner that would frighten the public and legislators into bending to the pressure groups wishes. The "rendering" or graphics content that displays the simulation has greater impact than a series of slides and tables.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality places the user into the simulation. This aim requires a range of tools, primarily gloves and goggles, to link the user into the program. A virtual reality operator uses gloves to feed hand gestures into the computer. Therefore, gloves replace the traditional computer keyboard and mouse as input devices. The goggles replace the screen of a computer and become the output device of the computer. Goggles perform better than simple glasses, because they can also project peripheral vision. Some virtual reality environments try to extend the sensation of being inside the environment by placing the user on a treadmill to let them simulate walking through the virtual world. Heat and wind are also sometimes included in the environmental effect to make the virtual experience seem as real as possible.
Scientific applications
Simulation has a major role in medicine and product development. Car manufacturers have cut down lead times and development costs for the creation of new models by employing computer simulation techniques. Other developers of expensive goods, like planes, employ simulation in the research and design methodologies. Medicine employs simulation to make the scan of complicated cancerous growths easier to observe. Surgeons can preview a tumour, observe it from several angles and practice several scenarios to decide on the best way to operate. Virtual reality is a possible future development of research and surgery, but this would require robots to implement the movements of a remotely located researcher or surgeon. Currently it is used as a training tool for the medical profession.
The key difference between simulation and virtual reality is their potential audience. Virtual reality intends to enhance the personal involvement of operators and so will only ever develop towards applications that are operated by an individual. Simulation emulates cinematic experiences and applies those to projections of behavior implemented by a number of effects, or characters in the display of the model. The more personal interaction that is added to simulation, the more it becomes virtual reality.

CBL Announces Acquisition of Interest in Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND
CBL Announces Acquisition of Interest in Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYS: CBL) , today announced that it plans to acquire Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND, from Radiant Partners.
In December 2012, CBL completed the acquisition of a 49% non-controlling interest in Kirkwood Mall. Additionally, CBL has executed an agreement to acquire the remaining 51% interest. CBL anticipates closing on the remaining 51% interest within 90 days (subject to lender approval), including the assumption of a $40.4 million non-recourse loan secured by the property, which bears a fixed interest rate of 5.75% and matures in April 2018.
"The acquisition of Kirkwood Mall will add a high-quality and growing property to our portfolio of market-dominant regional malls," commented Stephen Lebovitz, president and CEO of CBL. "Similar to Dakota Square Mall in Minot, ND, which we acquired in 2012, Kirkwood Mall is enjoying remarkable growth from its proximity to the Bakken Formation oil reserves. We anticipate increasing the net operating income from the center through near- and long-term opportunities, including rent growth from roll-over leases as well as occupancy improvements and development of peripheral property."
Kirkwood Mall is located in North Dakota's state capital of Bismarck. The local economy has grown tremendously in recent years as a result of its proximity to the Bakken Formation. The state of North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the country and is one of only a few states with a budget surplus. Bismarck's unemployment rate is estimated to be less than 4%.
The mall is situated on 68 acres and serves a broad trade area with the nearest competition located more than 100 miles away. The 850,000-square-foot mall was originally developed in 1971 and was last renovated in 2002. The mall is anchored by Herberger's, Keating Furniture, JCPenney, Scheel's All Sport and Target and features a strong line-up of mall retailers and restaurants such as The Buckle, Chico's, Justice, The Children's Place and Victoria's Secret. The mall was 87.9% occupied at September 30, 2012. Sales per square foot at the center have increased more than 15% to over $400 per square foot for 2012. The mall offers both near- and long-term growth potential with low in-place occupancy cost of approximately 9.2% as well as lease-up opportunities.
About CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
CBL is one of the largest and most active owners and developers of malls and shopping centers in the United States. CBL owns, holds interest in or manages 163 properties, including 94 regional malls/open-air centers.

The History of Scotch Whisky
Taught by David McNicoll
Although I now live in New York I come from the Scottish Highlands; where I honed my knowledge and enjoyment of whisky. I now run a travel company that specialises in tour packages to Scotland - including whisky tours. More info on that at www.vacationscotland.biz
Location: Prospect Heights Brainery (190 Underhill Ave in Prospect Heights, BK)
Whisky is the national drink of Scotland, and the most popular spirit in the world: it is a multi-billion dollar industry employing thousands globally and one of the UK's leading exports. Yet, it is more, much more than this; it's a story – a story of a drink, a culture, a people, a land and a way of life. From the humblest of origins, to the glamorous world of 'Mad Men' Scotch has come a long way, and it is a fascinating tale.
So, with glass in hand we will begin that journey and explore the origins of spirit, its eventual arrival into Scotland and how the process was refined and perfected to the malts and blends we enjoy today. We will also stare through the looking glass of time to the people who made whisky so popular; the fight against government and taxmen; halcyon days and the dark days; its global reach with roots still firmly planted in the hills and glens of rural Scotland.
I'll explain how the stuff is actually made, where it is made and how geography as well as history has had a part to play in whisky's development. How is Scotch different to Bourbon or Irish, and how have their stories differed and related to our saga? There are quirky stories, interesting characters and the mystery of the lost distilleries to illuminate us as we unravel the secret of the Water of Life. Oh, and you get to sample some too!

About RTZ
Between the decade-long gaps between most Boston albums, singer Brad Delp has kept himself busy either singing on records by other artists (including former Boston rhythm guitarist Barry Goudreau's self-titled 1980 release, Orion the Hunter's 1984 debut, etc.), or with side bands such as RTZ. The group formed in the early '90s and saw Delp once more joined by Goudreau, resulting in a self-titled debut of commercially accessible arena rock and power ballads. Issued in July of 1991, the album spawned a surprise Top 30 hit single with "Until Your Love Comes Back Around." Not much was heard from the band afterwards, as Delp eventually returned back to Boston in time for the tour in support of their 1994 release, Walk On, which led many to believe that RTZ was a one-off project. But this proved to not be the case, as May of 2000 saw the release of RTZ's sophomore effort, Lost. ~ Greg Prato

There are a lot of people who use traveling
As a frontline medical practitioner for over 20 years, I have been actively encouraging and motivating my patients, relatives, associates and other individuals to take holidays and holidays regularly. There are varieties of consulting roles, from a travel schedule perspective. One type of advisor is the true Street Warrior every week, often visiting different clients and places only a few days each place. The week-old travels to the same destination to work on a long-term engagement over a number of months. Which kind of travel schedule you find yourself with is as much on your personality as in your skill set.

"…I got a new joystick and keyboard."
Yes folks, though it may not sound like much, I have in fact got a couple of decent preipherals. I got the Saitek Evo [bigger pic], which looks and feels cool-yet-menacing. And the keyboard, well, let me just warn you now… it's fairly generic. But it works! So at least it has an advantage over my last one…
So, gamers beware, I now have a working keyboard! No more right arrow key not responding unless I thump it! No more keypad 0 getting stuck! No more delete deleting entire lines rather than just characters! Beware!
And pilots beware too… well, I already had a joystick, but beware! My new one has more buttons! And a wee light on the top! And some light buttons! Beware!
