U.S. is one great nation, but practicing what other countries are doing can make it "the greatest". Have a look at what other countries have and we don't.
1. Free Preschool
Children of age three and above can go to preschool for free in France.
2. Benefits for Parents
Swedish Government makes sure that every child is brought up in best possible way. Swedish parents enjoy 480 days off from the work at the first eight years of child's life and they get paid also.
3. Education is a basic right – Free Universities
In many countries, higher education is not very expensive and students enjoy free education in universities.
4. Vacations for Everyone
It is in plan of European Union that it will finance vacations for the people who can't afford to enjoy them.
5. Art Support
In Germany, artists get government benefits. Any person with art-school degree can apply for scholarships.
6. Whether on work or at hospital, pay should be provided
There are countries like Luxembourg and Norway, where cancer patients get paid for the 50-days they miss on duty because of the treatment.
$7.25 is the lowest wage here but in Australia this figure is $14.50; there is also less unemployed people.
8. Limitation of Maximum Salary
Recently, in Switzerland, a proposal was given that executive pay must be limited and set according to the lowest wage of the company. Swiss voters didn't accept this proposal but solving issues of income gap is top priority of Swiss government.
9. Must income to every citizen
In The New York Times, it was reported that Switzerland is going to provide monthly income to its every resident. There should also be a policy like that.
10. Crime Control by Banning Weapons
In mid-1990s, thirty-five people were killed in Australia by a single man. Government took immediate action for this mishap and banned shotguns and assault weapons. After this strictness, about 60% murders associated with the use of gun were decreased.
11. Legal Marijuana
In Netherlands, marijuana is legal.
12. Some Changes in big corporate
In Germany, DAX companies are required to provide supervisory board seats to women; number of seats must be one-third of the total.
13. View of the Sky
The Telegraph reported that government of Germany said that every office must have view of the sky.
14. Forbidden Soup Slurping
In New Jersey, soup slurping is not allowed. Why other states don't practice this?

Official forecast track for Tropical Storm Grace. (Credit: NHC)
11 PM UPDATE: Tropical Storm Grace was holding together with 50 mph winds, but forecasters at the National Hurricane Center continued to predict a weakening trend by Wednesday morning as the system moves west toward the Lesser Antilles.
"It is worth noting that the GFS and ECMWF models show significant weakening of the cyclone in 4 to 5 days, with possible dissipation occurring by 120 hours," NHC forecaster Stacy Stewart said.
5 PM UPDATE: Tropical Storm Grace kicked it up another notch on Sunday with winds of 50 mph, up from 45 mph earlier in the day. The forecast track by the National Hurricane Center and the intensity forecast remained about the same, with a call for slight intensification and then rapid weakening as Grace reaches the Lesser Antilles on Friday. The current forecast is for Grace to be a depression when it makes landfall in the islands Friday afternoon.
Tropical Depression Fred, meanwhile, has dissipated in the Atlantic, the NHC said.
ORIGINAL POST: Tropical Storm Grace intensified in the eastern Atlantic, packing winds of 45 mph this morning with gusts to 58 mph. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami predicted further strengthening and said the season's seventh named tropical cyclone would be a 65-mph storm by Monday night or Tuesday as it continues west.
Westerly wind shear is expected to take control by Wednesday, weakening Grace to a minimal tropical storm.
Computer forecast models show grace approaching the Leeward Islands if it survives beyond Friday. Members of NOAA's GFS Ensemble group suggest a track identical or very similar to Tropical Storm Erika, which was disrupted by wind shear in the northeastern Caribbean and then eliminated as a threat once it hit the mountains of Hispaniola.
Interestingly, intensity forecast models posted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research indicate that after an initial bout of weakening starting on Wednesday and going into Friday, Grace may strengthen slightly after that.
This morning, Tropical Storm Grace was 3,512 miles east-southeast of Palm Beach.
Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Fred had turned north in the Central Atlantic and was forecast to turn northeast later today and Monday, while regaining tropical storm strength. Forecasters predicted Fred would begin doing a loop by the end of the week and turn toward the southeast.

SATURDAY RAINFALL: There were plenty of dark skies, blustery breezes and cracks of thunder around the area on Saturday, but Palm Beach International Airport picked up just 0.24 of an inch of rain. Palm Beach island reported 0.21 of an inch.
Some locations in Miami-Dade County had more than an inch, and central Broward County reported more than 2 inches. At John Prince Park off Lake Worth Road and east of Congress Avenue, 0.87 of an inch was reported. Almost an inch fell in Tequesta, according to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network (CoCoRaHS).
Rain chances in Palm Beach remain at 60 percent today and 50 percent Monday to round out the holiday weekend.

Honda CB1000R review: Honda goes back to the future with new £11,000 motorbike that's perfect for a weekend blast
The new motorbike gets a retro design and it's a peach out on the open road
HONDA has taken a distinct sideways step with this new CB1000R.
The previous model was pitched as a sports naked machine, one that was expected to compete with similar models from rival manufacturers.
In the last five years, the sports naked category has exploded – it's been to bootcamp, eaten nothing but protein, and morphed into the super-naked category.
Instead of trying to be the best in a very tough sector, this new CB1000R – priced at £11,230 – has slipped into a retro suit and gone down the café racer road.
The styling is ballsy, especially for a firm like Honda, who normally play it safe when it comes to design and looks.
We think it looks stunning – that slab nosed LED headlight sits between wide bars, a well proportioned tank drags your eye along the flank to the new subframe and tail section.
Mechanically, a stack of changes have been made to the 2006 CBR1000 Fireblade motor that it's fitted with. As well as ticking the EU4 emissions box, it now produces 143bhp.
Traction control, engine brake control, multiple riding modes and varying power maps all feature, and do a fantastic job of keeping things safe and under control on the bike.
It's miles faster than the outgoing model with the first three gears punchy enough to have the beating of the current Fireblade.
Do not look at this bike and write it off just because it's using an old long-stroke motor, as it's an absolute peach on the road in real-world riding conditions.
On the famous Ronda road near Marbella the CB1000R made light work of the corners and demolished the straights.
All in complete comfort and with market-leading levels of fit and finish everywhere.
more motorbike news
This is something Honda has gained a reputation for, and rightly so.
If you're in the market for the fastest super-naked bike in this sector, this isn't for you.
But, if you're on the hunt for a bike with the kind of real world performance that will outgun all but the most committed of riders, the new Honda CB1000R must feature on your test ride list.

Ok so I TOTALLY ripped you off.
I fell in love with that there ElePouch so I made my own. I didn't have felt so now my grey spare material is fraying. Thats why it looks to scruffy. Oh well. I can live with that. It'll get better once the fraying reaches the stitching.
And the lining is red and white houndstooth.
So cute!
I'm actually quite proud of it. It;s my new pencilcase.
Thanks, and sorry for copying, but take it as a complement! You rock.

I`ve turned a new leaf as they say. I used to know back in the day that I wanted to be some sort of DJ or something, but never had a chance to get really into it. Well recently, I bought myself a turntable after reading on the best ones and it's been love ever since. I bought a dj controller with my Pro0Ject Debut Carbon DC and I`m having a blast mixing guys.
Just letting ya`ll know what I am up to and everything, because I know I have not been updating perf10 for a while now. Aside from that, I just wanna say that if you are trying to get into the DJ game, do yourself a favor and grab a good turntable. If you go cheap, you will be disappointed almost immediately. You will obviously need to get a preamp with it, and a good receiver to amplify those signals.
I use my Bose speakers in conjunction with the preamp and the Marantz amplifier, and I am seeing incredible results. If any of you need any help setting yourself up, just holler at me and I`ll help you guys out.
What's Next To Come In My Mixing Career ( If I can call it that? )
Well guys, I am going to be practicing hard now and dedicating all my free time to mixing. Hopefully in a couple of years you guys see me out there and I will be sure to shout some of you out, you know who you are. We have had some great discussions here, and I hope that we can make it worth in the future.
I will update you guys here and there, but keep in mind I am pretty busy with all this now so don't expect frequent updates. Anyway guys, take care and hopefully the next time you hear from me I will be getting somewhere with this. Follow your dreams yall!

FC: The Nervous System
1: By Rachel Morgan
2: The Neuron The nervous system is made of nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain. These nerves are wired like a telephone system. There is a central switchboard, controlling all messages and where they go, and then there is the wires going from the switchboard to the rest of the body. These wires are the nerves. Each nerve is composed of nerve cells called neurons. The neuron is composed of a nucleus, enclosed in the cell body. Coming out from the cell body is the dendrites, which carry messages to the cell body, and the axon, which carries the message to the end plates, and then the message crosses a space in between the two neurons called a synapse. then the next neurons carry the message along to where it is supposed to go.
4: Sensory Neurons There are three different types of neurons. The first one is the sensory neuron. These neurons carry messages from the sense organs such as the ears, eyes, nose, and tongue, to the brain and spinal cord.
7: The Association Neuron Association neurons carry messages from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron. These are normally found in the brain and spinal cord.
9: The Motor Neuron The motor neuron carries messages from the brain and spinal cord. They then go to a muscle or a gland causing movement or a secretion.
11: The Reflex A reflex is an involuntary muscle movement that serves to protect the body. What happens is a sensory neuron from the skin carries a message to the spinal cord, then through an association neuron to a motor neuron and finally to a muscle or gland causing movement or a secretion. This round trip is called a reflex arc. Reflexes are protective mechanisms. Some examples are blinking. sneezing, and coughing.
12: The Central Nervous System The central nervous system is the "central switchboard" of the nervous system. It is composed of the brain and spinal cord, which are vital to survival. If you injured certain parts of the brain then you could not be able to speak, think, or feel. If you severe the spinal cord, you would be paralyzed below the point of injury. The brain and spinal cord are enclosed in hard bones. The surface is protected further by tissue and fluid.
15: The Cerebrum The cerebrum forms the top part of the brain. It is composed of both white and gray matter. It is divided up into two halves, called hemispheres. The surface, or cortex, of the cerebrum is folded into ridges called convolutions. Each area of the cerebral cortex has its own specific job to do. One area controls muscles. Another controls touch. Some others are speech, sight, hearing, taste, and smell.
16: The Cerebellum The cerebellum is below and behind the cerebrum. It is also composed of both white and gray matter, is divided into hemispheres, and is folded. The cerebellum's main function is to control coordination. If you were to injure this, you're muscle movements would become jerky and unpredictable.
17: The Medulla Oblongata The medulla is connected to the spinal cord. The white matter is on the outside, and it serves as a pathway for messages from other parts of the brain. The gray matter serves as a switchboard for motor messages going out to a gland. It also controls vital functions such as breathing and digestion.
18: The Spinal Cord Te spinal cord is a cord of nerves running down the vertebral column. Branching out from the spinal cord are thirty one pairs of nerves that reach out to all parts of the body.
20: The Peripheral Nervous System The peripheral nervous system connects the centrasl nervous system to all other parts of the body. It consists of forty-three pairs of nerves. Twelve of these are called cranial nerves. They connect directly to your brain and involve the senses. The other thirty-one are called spinal nerves. They connect the spinal cord to the external parts of the body. Some of these nerves fall into a category called the autonomic nervous system. That means that you don't need to think about doing it. There are two divisions to this system. Sympathetic, and parasympathetic. Parasympathetic tends to slow down and restrict activity, and sympathetic tends to speed the activities up.

The AOL deal is the largest known patent auctions to date at roughly $1.3 million per issued patent. That is noticeably higher than the bankrupt Nortel Networks patent "blowout" auction last year of 6000 patents at $4.5 billion, or roughly $1.05 million per patent.
MSN Money has an excellent article that covers the story.
The Bottom Line - As I discuss in my recent book, Living in the Innovation Age, technology companies such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft have frantically been snapping up patents to strengthen both their competitive and legal positions and in the process they've been bidding up the prices of these coveted patent portfolios.

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma here!
You know what?
We've had some rain today! Most unusual, especially as we were expecting sun shine and heat waves!
This morning we were late in getting up and of course missed the sunrise. Instead we got bright skies and no woofer mates to meet!
May and April were down on the beach all sort of half asleep and looking for a lift instead of a jog along the Sea Wall!
We call it 'Doing a Freddy'!
|Well, if Freddy Boy can get a lift, why not me?
|If it's good enough for Freddy!
|Come on, it wouldn't need to be a big hole!
It was just as bad at lunchtime, Fred and Wilma got down onto the beach and it started to rain! Freddy Boy did some walking, well, it was more like chasing OTL to get back into the new bag and stay dry!
Because of the rain, neither of the ferrets stayed out in the rain and really, they only got a bit of a run from the top of the hill down to the car park.
The fact that it was all down hill helped Fred to keep going!
Another thing that helped was the sight of a rain cloud chasing along the shore and heading our way!
|Also known as a Squall!
Back home we all got a rub down and the ferrets headed off for bed. Holly and I were straight onto our cushions while OTL and The Missus were off to get a Christmas Prezzy for themselves, a new TV!
Now, it's not as though our TV was old but the valves inside were not as bright as they were when we first got it!
So, most of the evening and late afternoon has been spent reading the instructions and not understanding a word!
There was a computer upgrade last night and for some reason the Internet has not been working, so that is another job OTL has been working on as well!
Good fun!
So, not a lot going on but whatever has been going on has taken up too much time!
See you all tomorrow!
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss April, Fred & Wilma.
PS. We had a policeman call on us asking if we knew of and ferrets called Nipper!
As if we had any idea what he was on about!
No, nothing to with us Guvnor we are only woofers!

2) Scoop the ice into a shaker and pour in the ginger juice, rum and cinnamon schnapps. Add the pinch of ground cloves and the egg white to the shaker. Shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds until the drink is frothy and foamy. The longer you shake, the foamier the drink.
3) Add the ginger beer and stir slightly. Pour into a glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and crystallised ginger square, and sprinkle the top with finely ground gingerbread cookie.

Updates are still brief – we come home from Kiribati in late Feb, early March. But at the moment I'm in Fiji and enjoying some fast internet speeds. I've had a couple of emails waiting for attention and bandwidth to deal with properly. The most important is definitely the music blog and archive The Free Music Archive – chock full of free music goodness. I highly recommend the Indonesian 2012 Net Label Union compilation – I'm a big fan of the Yes No Wave label, and the bands White Shoes and the Couples Company, The Upstairs and Shorthand Phonetics.
Of course, they have a tag for the bestof2012 as curated by the members – anyone can use the tag, so there's lots of interesting opinions from around the world.
I'm also looking forward to the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion live at (our favourite American radio station) WFMU ("Woof-Moo") gig, and finally "katya-oddio: Late '70s to Mid '80s Heroes, which includes some doozies from Superchunk, The Units, Gang of Four, The Damned, Half Japanese, Paul Westerberg, David Byrne, The Scientists – look, it's free right – just go and get it already.

Here's my curent state of chaos:
Under the "Can you believe it?" heading: We discovered an unauthorized withdrawl for $300 against our checking account's debit card. It occured a night when my husband was out with "friends" and while he maintains it must be a computer error, I think someone "borrowed" his wallet and made the withdrawl. He's not one to make folks stand back when he makes a withdrawl and I think one of his "buddies" saw his code, took the card, made the withdrawl and returned the card without him knowing. Which is very possible. The bank is investigating. I hope the ATM had a video camera and the slime goes to a nasty, stinky cell with a room mate named Bubba who calls him Sweetie.
I've almost got the website set up now for the Secret Project.
Next week maybe I'll be ready to go.

{Reported by Becky Williams}
Hello again!
It's me, Becky Williams with another review for you.
I hope that you have enjoyed all of the CHA sneaks and if you are like me, you are trying to narrow down what you "need" so that you don't break the bank! There will be lots of great reviews here in the future to help you decide what you really want to buy.
For my review today, though, I was lucky enough to create using some of the cutest tags on the market from the "Summer Lovin'" collection by Elle's Studio. I'd seen these products before but hadn't ever had the chance to use them.
Here is a peek at what I got to try out (thanks, Elle's Studio!):
What I liked: These cute little tags are bright and cheerful and a great accent to any summer project. They are printed on cardstock-weight paper and there is a lot of variety in the sizes and colors. All you have to do is choose the tag you want, cut it out and add it to your page, card, etc.
What I disliked: The only thing that would improve these is if they were stickers, but that is just the lazy scrapper in me talking.
What I made:
Product: Summer Lovin' tags
Manufacturer: Elle's Studio
Available Online: Elle's Studio, Two Peas in a Bucket,
Bottom Line: I loved them!
What do YOU think? Have you ever tried the tags from Elle's Studio? What did you think of them? Let us know what you think! Leave a comment by midnight EST on Friday to win a $25 GC to Elle's Studio's Store! All entries welcome!!

Some schools have organised 'walking buses' where a number of children walk to and from school together, supervised by adults.
There are school bus services available in many areas in Tasmania.
There is a code of behaviour for students who travel on buses.
Regardless of how your child gets to and from school, safety is one of the most important factors to remember.
Walking to school
- Consider the route that your child will take and make sure that they use the safest road crossings.
- Younger children should be accompanied by an adult until you are certain that they can safely manage the journey alone.
- Even for older children it is advisable to walk with them at first on the route they will be using. Talk about what they should do if they ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe while walking alone.
Travel by bus
- If your child's school is not within walking distance, a bus service may be available. This may be free or it may be a fare-charging service. Contact your school to find out about the bus services available for your area.
- If your child will be using fare-charging bus services, they may be eligible for a concession.
- For more information on these, go to www.transport.tas.gov.au/passenger/student_travel.
- Information and application forms are also available from Service Tasmania offices.
- For more information on metropolitan bus services, including timetables and fares, contact Metro Tasmania on 13 22 01 or visit www.metrotas.com.au.
- If your child travels on a bus, encourage them to behave sensibly and safely while on the bus and accept reasonable direction from the bus driver.
- If you drive your child to school or the bus stop, you should abide by all parking restrictions and, if possible, park on the same side of the road as the school or bus stop.
- If you must park opposite the school or bus stop, please get out of your vehicle and cross the road with your child.
Driving your child to school
- Where a bus service is not available, or the nearest bus stop serving your closest school is at least five kilometres away from your home, you may need to use private transport to get your child to school.
- In this case you may be eligible to receive a Conveyance Allowance, which helps with the cost of driving students between home and school, or to and from the nearest bus stop, whichever is closer.
- Information and application forms are available from Service Tasmania offices, or visit www.transport.tas.gov.au/passenger/student_travel
Where to start:
- Contact your school to find out about:
- bus services available in your area
- if there is a walking bus in your area.
- Contact the Department of State Growth to find out if you are eligible for a Conveyance Allowance.
For you:
- Find out how other children in your area get to school.
- Find a friend for your child to travel with.
- Offer to supervise the local 'walking bus'.
Where can I get more information:
- Contact your school.
- For metropolitan bus services, including timetables and fares contact: Metro Tasmania (Hobart, Launceston, Burnie) 13 22 01 or visit the website www.metrotas.com.au
- MerseyLink Bus Service (Devonport) Phone 1300 367 590 or visit the website www.merseylink.com.au
- To organise a walking bus at your school, contact Sustainable Living Tasmania on 6234 5566 or visit the website http://www.slt.org.au/

Apple pectin supplements may be useful for lowering cholesterol, slowing the rate at which your body absorbs sugars, keeping you regular and even fighting cancer, according to Fiber Ingredients by Susan Sungsoo Cho. Apple pectin is a source of fiber that comes from plant-cell walls. Always consult a doctor before trying a new supplement.
Apple pectin, a form of fiber, can help keep you regular if you suffer from constipation. Fiber supplements lessen constipation by making your stool soft. However, you must drink plenty of fluid if you take an apple pectin supplement because increasing fiber without enough fluid can actually worsen your constipation. Also consult a doctor before adding apple pectin supplements to your regimen if you have intestinal problems or take medications; fiber can slow absorption of medications.
Blood-Sugar Control
Apple pectin supplements can help control your blood-sugar levels, says Cho. Pectin works by slowing your digestion of sugars and fats, Cho notes. This leads to lower blood-glucose levels and a reduced insulin demand. This may make apple pectin useful for controlling diabetes, though you need to consult a doctor before using apple pectin for this purpose. If you take diabetes medicines such as insulin, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage due to the fiber's ability to lower blood-sugar levels.
If you need to lower cholesterol, apple pectin may be helpful, says A. Stewart Truswell from the human nutrition unit at the University of Syndey, Australia, and author of a commentary published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In fact, pectin works better than oat bran, psyllium or guar gum for this purpose, Truswell says. In comparing apple to orange pectin, researcher M. Gonzalez found the apple variety worked best for blood cholesterol. Gonzalez is the lead author of a study published in the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry.
Apple pectin supplements may be useful in protecting against or fighting colon cancer, says Cho. One reason is that it speeds excretion, which helps your body get rid of cancer-causing substances more quickly. Pectin also might work by binding to certain proteins that help spread cancer, which may slow or reverse the spread of cancer cells, notes Dr. Ray Sahelian of Los Angeles. Pectin may be useful in fighting other forms of cancer as well, such as prostate cancer, notes Crystal L. Jackson, lead author for a study published in the journal Glycobiology. However, more studies are needed to see how this benefit, mainly demonstrated in laboratory and animal studies, might translate to people.

Author: Sophie Jordan
Publisher: Avon
Release Date: July 26, 2011
Received From: Library
Synopsis: One of the most notoriously eligible bachelors in Europe is finally ready to marry . . .Review:
For fiercely independent Grier Hadley, being the illegitimate daughter of one of London's most unsavory characters has only one advantage: an enormous, ill-gotten dowry.
Prince Sevastian Maksimi knows where his duty lies: he must find a well-bred young lady—one with a considerable fortune to her name—wed her promptly, and get to the business of producing an heir.
The last thing Grier needs is some unattainable prince curling her toes with his smoldering glances and wicked suggestions. As far as Sev is concerned, she lacks the breeding to become a princess. And yet one kiss from this arresting female is all it takes for him to realize that anyone else in his arms would be unthinkable . . .
Wicked in Your Arms was the first of Sophie Jordan's adult books I had read. I had read her Firelight (YA) series and really enjoyed it so I decided to give her historical romances a try. I am so glad I did I loved this book and Grier was a fabulous heroine.
I read this book in ebook format and I am glad I did. There were so many passages that I highlighted because they were fantastic and hilarious. Also because I wanted to choose one to share with you so you could get a peek into the banter between Grier and Savastian. I think this passage will convince you to read this book much more than anything I could say.
"Not that it's any of your concern, but I'm eight and twenty."Isn't that dialogue awesome? You want to know what happens next don't you? Wicked in Your Arms is chock full of dialogue just like that. As well as stolen kisses and political intrigue.
He blinked. "You're a bit long in the tooth, aren't you?"
She gasped. "For what? Being alive?"
"For being yet unclaimed."
"Unclaimed? As in unclaimed by a man?"
He nodded once.
"A little archaic, aren't you? I've been busy... haven't gotten around to a man... claiming me yet."
"I see," he murmured, either missing her sarcasm or deliberately ignoring it.
Propping her hands on her hips, she demanded, "And how old are you?"
"It doesn't matter how old I am. I'm a man."
"No, you're a jackass!" she retorted. (58)
One of the main reasons I liked this book so much, besides the dialogue, is Grier herself. She has all these secrets that the reader and Sevastian both have to figure out. She is strong willed and independent and very different from many typical historical romance heroines. Also Sev is sexy.
I think anyone who is a fan of historical romance or who wants to get into reading historical romance should definitely pick up Wicked in Your Arms. It is a real treat!

Hotel Review: Amari Vogue in Krabi Thailand
Main article: How to Work Remotely From Thailand
Hotel Reviews: dusit D2, Chiang Mai | Amari Watergate, Bangkok | Amari Vogue, Krabi
Things to do: 5 Cool Things To Do in Thailand
Beach Bound
After more than a week of traveling and exploring, I was more than ready to relax on the beach, and the Amari Vogue hotel did not disappoint. In short, the hotel was amazing. It was named Trip Advisor's traveler's choice for best relaxation hotel for a reason.
Video Review
If you're going to stay in this part of Thailand, you need to make a decision. Do you want to be in Krabi Town itself, which features shops, hotels, and restaurants, or do you want to stay at a more exclusive resort.
For me, the choice seemed easy. While the town might be more convenient, it was too touristy, with shop after shop of tourist traps offering knock-off t-shirts and discount massages. With multiple pools and restaurants, a private beach, and a free shuttle to town, the better option to me is a property such as the Amari Vogue.
C'mon… they have a fountain with cool elephants shooting water out of their trunk as you walk in… what's not to like?
The breakfast buffet was excellent, as was the Bellini restaurant right on the beach. We went with the buffalo mozzarella cheese appetizer on more than one occasion. The menu is diverse enough that you can try different things for lunch, dinner, or snacks, and not feel like you're trapped eating in one place at the resort.
In terms of drinks, there is plenty of Chang beer to go around, but when you're sitting and watching the sunset, a Pina Colada or Daiquiri seems much more appropriate, so that was a popular option from their large cocktail menu quite often.
The staff was great and helped us organize our trip into town and our island tour. There was one staff member that just had the biggest smile on her face the entire time. She'd come up to the table and even if it was just topping off our water or handing us an extra towel, she looked like the happiest person on the planet.
It made me wonder if it was easier to work in a hotel like this vs. one in New York or even Hawaii. I mean, it has to be right? Sure there are rude jerks the world over, but I'd have to guess 95% of the people at this hotel are there to relax, on a romantic vacation, a honeymoon, or something similar. Sure seems like the crowd would be easier to please here. I'd be happy too.
We had a great room on an upper floor with a view of the water from a small balcony. The only bummer was looking at the room next to us, and seeing they had a jacuzzi on their balcony (will have to upgrade to that next time).
The bed was enormous — it was literally about 6-7 feet wide — and quite possibly could have been the largest bed I have ever slept in. It easily could have slept a family of four. I bet two NBA players could have slept side-by-side across the opposite way across the bed.
The gym was decent enough to give you a good workout, but the real star here was the spa. While not the rock bottom prices of Chiang Mai, where you can get a 1 hour massage for about $10, for about $50 you get the experience that would cost you 3X that in a major US city.
What was really unique were the pools. Instead of one large pool, there were multiple options on each level as you made your way from the hotel down to the beach, with each offering little nooks and crannies to relax, get some sun, or view the sunset from the infinity pool.
Blogger Accommodations
The WiFi was free and worked well, and the only major problem getting work done was the pool, beach, and sunset beckoning you at every turn to power down that laptop and live a little.
The best I could do is film part of my review right on the beach. If you look closely you can see portions of my "professional" setup:
– An external mic running from the camera… it went down the ground, up my shirt, and then clipped to my collar. It helped to block out some of the wind noise from the beach.
– A notebook wedged into the table as my "teleprompter" for notes
– A white towel on the table that was out of the scene on camera, but served to reflect light back up and eliminate some of the harsh shadows from the blazing sun overhead.
– And of course, my lovely bikini-clad assistant, whose only question when I asked her to break away from a lounge chair to help was "Um, sure… can I bring my wine?"
Good times.
Disclosure: The Amari hotel sponsored part of my stay while in Krabi. This review represents my honest feedback based on my experience there.

Report N1 (added on July, 22, 2009)
I met this girl online on match. We have chatted online for months now. And she wants to come to norway and setle down with me here. We have talked on the phone, writing sms's and mails. Also met online on messenger. I started to be unsure when I wrote mail's and sms's to her. And got answers that could be written to anyone. She didn't answer my questions, and didn't remember what we have talked about. She also told me stories that she had told other guys on the net. She had no boyfriend, because her ex man had an affair with her best friend. She also insisted that I should use western bank when I transfered the money to her. When I looked up on the internett, I found other men she had been in contact with. And told the same story. They had sent money. But I haven't sent any. And they never heard from her again.

I got a long email on my scammer email address out of the blue and recognized the picture as one I've seen on many sites.. I've had a lot of activity there lately. I must be on a new list. I also received 4 pictures. I never contacted her or anyone at the email address being used. I did a name search here and she popped up. Same exact letter as Bob's here too. Figured there wasn't any reason to play with her. Adding another email address to the info on her.
Jonathan (USA)
Report N6 (added on July, 25, 2012)
She will play on your emotions and then want to get married with phoney documents and then claim to have a injury and want more money, and with me this went on for about 8 months and then when I said I was coming to get her she will have someone help her get into your e-mail account and totally leave you stranded. This woman is very devious and will stop at nothing to get your money. I personally have had marriage cerimony preformed by a guy by the name of Solomom Coffee, and her mother''s name is Felicia. Whe I did send her money and ask for reciepts there was always a promise of sending them but never got them. Then there is a issue of her dad leaving her gold bars that are worth a lot but the cliam of being madely in love with you and then getting you to send the storage fee to a Mr. Adjei Okore Issac out of Kasoa, which is just out side of Accra, to find out that the three of them are in the scam. I have pictures and can down load them but all you have to do is look on this site and look for the name jessica lowson and you will see her. Please contact me if you run into her. I have stopped any manner of her getting any funds in to Ghana and have gone as far as calling the FBI and Inter pol to have them arrested. and to stop anybody from sending any money to Ghana from the U.S. Please feel free to contact me if you come accross another plea from them the others that are involved with this go by the name of Jennifer, and Justine Brewer, and then its Felicia.
Just beware!!!!!!!!!!!

Can the GSA Really Achieve a 'Zero Environmental Footprint'?
Can the GSA Really Achieve a 'Zero Environmental Footprint'?
Executive Order (EO) 13514 continues to have enormous implications for the green building industry. As you'll recall, EO 13514 requires that federal agencies comply with a number of green building stipulations, including 95 percent of all applicable contracts meet sustainability requirements. While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) invested over $25 billion in green building projects, the executive order will have a more long-lasting impact on the industry.
Why do I say this? General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Martha N. Johnson's recent statement regarding the GSA's zero environmental footprint goal suggest how far agencies may go to implement the executive order:
"Citing the president's Executive Order 13514, Johnson highlighted the agency's mission to assist other federal agencies to make greater strides in sustainability, excel at greening initiatives, and increase federal building performance. Johnson proposed that the federal government move to a zero environmental footprint, and she stressed that GSA is setting its sights on 'eliminating the impact of the federal government on our natural environment. ...'
Johnson outlined a number of areas in which GSA could take the lead toward greening the government. These include cultivating green-centered public/private partnerships, aiming for only green products on the federal supply schedules, and using the federal building portfolio as a green proving-ground for new sustainable building and design technologies. ..."
Johnson's statements are a signal of what is to come from GSA and other federal agencies. Under the executive order (pdf), the GSA has broad authority to make recommendations to "green" federal contracting:
"Within 180 days of the date of this order, the General Services Administration ... shall review and provide recommendations ... regarding the feasibility of working with the Federal vendor and contractor community to provide information that will assist Federal agencies in tracking and reducing scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions related to the supply of products and services to the Government."
Additionally, under Section 13 of the order, the GSA has been asked to provide recommendations regarding "using Federal Government purchasing preferences or other incentives for products manufactured using processes that minimize greenhouse gas emissions. ..."
The GSA is preparing to overhaul the way the federal government purchases services and supplies. But what exactly is a zero environmental footprint?

Sing High Notes Without Straining
Men are most comfortable singing in their low voice and yet it seems like all we want to do is sing high notes. Since we spend our lives speaking only in our low voice, we face a lot of challenges to get into our higher voice without a lot of strain and tension build up.
To make matters worse, coaches and creators of online eLearning courses for singers feel added pressure to "deliver the goods". So, they have students begin training with loud, open-mouth exercises so the student feels they are getting value for the money right away.
However, as I discuss in the video, a more tempered approach whereby the singer begins with a heavy dose of closed-mouth and partially closed-mouth exercises to first learn to navigate from the low voice through the middle voice and into the high and very high range of our voice will produce the fastest results.
These groups of exercises are the best thing that I've ever discovered in my own training, and I had to figure it out myself because no one's teaching this other than to do a quick "humming" exercise at the start of a workout before starting into the open-mouth exercises.
When we train with our mouth closed we remove 90% of the activity that causes muscle constriction in the throat when we move toward higher notes. This allows us to replace the old habits of constriction with good habits of a relaxed open throat. We can navigate our full range so much easier. And we can still add compression to our vocal folds to strengthen them.
Once we are able to move through our full range first with closed-mouth exercises, then partially-closed mouth exercises (called "semi-occluded variations"), we then begin to introduce open-mouth variations gradually, but never at the expense of bringing back all the tension.
This doesn't mean that we don't do any open-mouth singing exercises at all. We do them in the range of our voice where we aren't straining and we choose the right vocal scales to work with.
Please watch the video to learn more.

Two experiments that studied the effects of hypnotic suggestions on tactile sensitivity are reported. Experiment 1 found that suggestions for anesthesia, as measured by both traditional psychophysical methods and signal detection procedures, were linearly related to hypnotizability. Experiment 2 employed the same methodologies in an application of the real-simulator paradigm to examine the effects of suggestions for both anesthesia and hyperesthesia. Significant effects of hypnotic suggestion on both sensitivity and bias were found in the anesthesia condition but not for the hyperesthesia condition. A new bias parameter, C', indicated that much of the bias found in the initial analyses was artifactual, a function of changes in sensitivity across conditions. There were no behavioral differences between reals and simulators in any of the conditions, though analyses of postexperimental interviews suggested the 2 groups had very different phenomenal experiences.

What is the essence of hypnosis?
The author explores the nature of hypnosis, which he characterizes as a motivated mode of information processing that enables most humans to alter, to varying degrees, their experience of body, self, actions, and world. The essence of hypnosis is not to be found in heterohypnosis; instead, it lies in the spontaneous self-activation of that mode of information processing. The hypnosis field has substantially lost sight of spontaneous self-activation, because the word hypnosis is usually used to mean heterohypnosis. Self-activation of the hypnotic mode of information processing is the necessary sine qua non of hypnotic psychopathology. Moreover, self-activation of trance is the characteristic hypnotic behavior of a distinct subset of highly hypnotizable individuals.
Meditation and Hypnosis: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Hypnosis and meditation, as a whole, form a heterogeneous complex of psychosomatic techniques able to control mind and body regulation. Hypnosis has been pragmatically used for limited therapeutic targets, while eastern meditation has much wider philosophical and existential implications, aiming for a radical liberation from all illusions, attachments, suffering and pain. The available data on the history, phenomenology, and neuropsychology of hypnosis and meditation show several common features, such as: (a) induction based on focused attention; (b) capability to reach an intentional control of both vegetative-somatic activities and conscious-unconscious processes; (c) activation/deactivation of several brain areas and circuits (e.g., the default modality network and pain neuromatrix) with a relevant overlapping between the two.
A Nonrandomized Comparison Study of Self-Hypnosis, Yoga and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to Reduce Emotional Distress in Breast Cancer Patients
The authors asked breast cancer (BC) patients to participate in 1 of 3 mind-body interventions (cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), yoga, or self-hypnosis) to explore their feasibility, ease of compliance, and impact on the participants' distress, quality of life (QoL), sleep, and mental adjustment. Ninety-nine patients completed an intervention (CBT: n = 10; yoga: n = 21; and self-hypnosis: n = 68). Results showed high feasibility and high compliance. After the interventions, there was no significant effect in the CBT group but significant positive effects on distress in the yoga and self-hypnosis groups, and also on QoL, sleep, and mental adjustment in the self-hypnosis group. In conclusion, mind-body interventions can decrease distress in BC patients, but RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.
Hypnotism as a Function of Trance State Effects, Expectancy, and Suggestibility: An Italian Replication
Previous research using step-wise regression analyses found self-reported hypnotic depth (srHD) to be a function of suggestibility, trance state effects, and expectancy. This study sought to replicate and expand that research using a general state measure of hypnotic responsivity, the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory: Hypnotic Assessment Procedure (PCI-HAP). Ninety-five participants completed an Italian translation of the PCI-HAP, with srHD scores predicted from the PCI-HAP assessment items. The regression analysis replicated the previous research results. Additionally, step-wise regression analyses were able to predict the srHD score equally well using only the PCI dimension scores. These results not only replicated prior research but suggest how this methodology to assess hypnotic responsivity, when combined with more traditional neurophysiological and cognitive-behavioral methodologies, may allow for a more comprehensive understanding of that enigma called hypnosis.
French Norms for the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A
The authors present French norms for the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A). They administered an adapted translation of Shor and Orne's original text (1962) to a group of 126 paid volunteers. Participants also rated their own responses following our translation of Kihlstrom's Scale of Involuntariness (2006). Item pass rates, score distributions, and reliability were calculated and compared with several other reference samples. Analyses show that the present French norms are congruous with the reference samples. Interestingly, the passing rate for some items drops significantly if "entirely voluntary" responses (as identified by Kihlstrom's scale) are scored as "fail." Copies of the translated scales and response booklet are available online.

We had a great Webinar about enterprise server upgrade (why, how and new feature demo). About 30 people joined the webinar. Audience survey feedback is 4.4 (1-5 scale & 5 being the awesome). Mark Wu and Santosh Adari talked about "love & hate" situation for every Tableau release. People love the new features and Tableau's pace of innovation. But enterprise customers dislike the efforts, downtime, and risks associated with each upgrade. Unfortunately choosing doing nothing is not a good option either since Desktop users may have one-click Product Updates feature to upgrade their Desktop before server is upgrade - if it happens, users who have new version of Desktop (not at maintenance release level but major or minor release level, like 9.1 to 9.2) can't publish workbooks to server, any workbooks opened and saved by 9.2 Desktop can't be opened by 9.1 Desktop anymore. You will have a lot frustrated Desktop users. It is a lot of communication work of asking all Desktop users not to upgrade their Desktop till server is upgraded. The longer it takes for the server upgrade, the more communication work for enterprise server team...... Which means that doing nothing on server side is actually a lot of work as well. So NetApp's approach was to upgrade the server ASAP - NetApp did 9.2 upgrade within 10 days since 9.2 general release, which is win-win for Desktop users and server team.
Mark Wu did good demo about some new features on server side and Desktop side: Smart Data Prep, Web editing, Total Control and Web Data Connector. The audience voted favorite new features are Smart Data Prep (9.2 is able to detect spreadsheet sub-tables automatically) and Web Data Connector.
Next Webinar will be 9-10am March 1st Tue focusing on workbook performance.

Two-Step is not only a classic, but one of the best social dances you'll find in any dance field. Whether you're younger, older, or anywhere in between, this dance will definitely get its usefulness once you learn it. Get started with Two-Step 101 and you'll never have to sit out at another dance again!
Two-Step 101 is the video all country dancers should go through at least once – even if it's just to ensure you're not overlooking the details most people take for granted. If you care how you look when you're on the dance floor, this is for you! Two-Step (aka Country 2-Step or Texas 2-Step) is the absolute staple when it comes to country music & dancing and Two-Step 101 delivers exactly what you need to get started. This DVD is fun, easy-to-understand, step-by-step, and is full of danceable music throughout! It's designed for beginners, starts with the basics, & is absolutely the best way to learn how to dance the Two-Step!
Two-Step 101 starts with you seeing & experiencing Two-Step to get a good feel for how it's danced. From there, the Two-Step is broken down into simple, yet manageable lessons that make the instruction easy to follow along with. You'll soon be dancing the Two-Step by working through several rhythm & timing drills both in place & around your practice area to ensure you understand and feel it the way you should. Next, you'll get 'hands-on' as you work your way through the specific Two-Step connection points & style tips that help make you look the part! It's easy to overlook a lot of the detail, so pay attention to the "little things" as you go (i.e., posture, timing, hand positions, size of your steps, dragging your feet, where to look, etc.). When you're ready, you'll learn & test your skills with several fun moves like partner turns, outside turns & torque turns you can use with anyone & take to the floor immediately. Plus, you'll have a full soundtrack of great Two-Step music playing through the entire lesson that doubles as a practice tool each time you use the DVD afterwards – just turn it on and practice until you're ready to go out.
"I think Shawn's dance instruction is great. I have been wanting to learn to two-step for a long time. I do not want to just go out on the dance floor without some practice and instruction, so these DVDs work perfect for me. I practice in the privacy of my own home… Now, I can't wait to hit the dance floor. Thanks Shawn"
"Very easy to follow. I really like how you break down the steps for both the leader and the follower."
"Learning Two-Step is nothing like line dancing and my head is still spinning as there are so many little things we were unaware of. There's a certain freedom that comes from dancing with your partner and there's also a certain fear I didn't know existed; as in I now have to trust him to lead me correctly. This has made for an interesting weekend project for us and we have worked our way through this video from start to finish two times as we are determined to get it down. Shawn and Joanna are really good at what they do and make it a point to show the steps in a way that's easy to see and at a pace where we could keep up (mostly). We especially liked the rhythm and style sections where it gave us a lot of things to work on and feel before trying it together. The lead and follow section has us a bit challenged at the moment but we are having fun. It's going to take a little time but this video is definitely worth it as it provides a really neat starting point."
"We don't have a dancing background but we are having fun learning the basic two step, and the other transitions included in the training: the Basket (or Wrap), the Promenade (with side step and vine step), the One and a Half Torque Turn, and Sweet Heart (side by side). Currently planning on purchasing additional training DVD's by Shawn."
"I just purchased this item and me and my husband love it(: very detailed!!! and you get your money's worth!! I would recomend it:) and Shawn is very nice! I got to talk to him on the phone (: "

I'm here and so are you. We are gracing this earth with our presence as I write. What a wonderful thought. To know you are alive, with someone else. How lucky are we to spend our days together, our numbered days, our handful of days. Each like a gem, a precious stone. There are only a few, only some and no more thereafter.
I hope we witness beautiful things in life. I hope to understand how grand and vast and immense this earth is. I hope to travel and explore, I hope to find unknown and foreign lands and discover new territory in myself. We never stop growing, remember that. We are affected by it all, all the people, all the places, all the events, all of it. Every such small thing affects us, builds our weathered and weary bodies. Our hearts time etched and heavy. Our bones sturdy and strong. Our hands, wrinkled and humble, waiting, wanting. Our eyes, bright and hopeful. I hope to be hopeful, I hope to be curious and hungry, forever-wanting. I want so much for myself, and for you.

A new form of biofuel has been successfully tested in the UK, with an unmodified petrol-engined vehicle having a bit of a drive with no ill effects after consuming a tank full of biobutanol.
Biobutanol is created from draff and pot ale -- the leftover byproducts of the whisky-making process -- with Scottish educational startup Celtic Renewables using the yeast sludge waste from Perthshire's Tullibardine Distillery to create the sustainable form of biofuel, via a bacterial anaerobic process that eats the sugars then poos out Acetone, Butanol and Ethanol.
They say this is a vastly more environmentally sound process than creating traditional biofuels, which are fermented from specifically grown products, using planet space that would be better used growing food for humans.
CR's Professor Martin Tangney said: "This is the first time in history that a car has ever been driven with a biofuel produced from whisky production residues. It is fitting to do this historic drive in Scotland, which is famous not just for its world-renowned whisky but also for being a powerhouse for renewable energy." [Celtic Renewables via BBC]

Quick update: Little Boy's birthday dinner was a huge success last night. But really, what celebration isn't when cake and wine are involved? You can find us all hydrating today. Except for Little Boy. You can find him sidled up to a blackjack table in about an hour. As Johnny Drama would say, good luck baby bro!! Next question.
Also, I need to request a moment of silence for two blogs that I wrote on that had to go to blog heaven this week. "A Court of Two Sisters" and "Lifetime in Reel Life."
Back in the day when DWC was created, this blogging phenomenon was taking off and you could say that I maybe got a little ambitious and excited. You could also say that no one else did because I believe the blog hits were just me and my co-writers checking on the page. So, due to that fact and also the fact that the last post on either of them was around November of 2010, I decided to stop paying for the domains and send them off on their way.
For those of you who didn't read them (I'm looking at all of you), "A Court of Two Sisters" was supposed to be a cute spin on the NOLA restaurant and about the time Poops and I lived together. And one apartment complex away from her now husband, DJ Jeff. We had high hopes of co-contributing to this blog and documenting our "Three's Company"-esque experience. There were some great times had at the townhouse, but none of them documented. Probably because we were too busy trying to squeeze two Chevy Tahoes into a not so generous two-car garage (mine suffered a bit), spent most of our time climbing up 3 flights of steep stairs (our butts did NOT benefit the way we thought), or were busy dissecting the Bachelor or Bachelorette whilst gaining the perspective of a male on how stupid we knew the show concept already was. So, our apologies to you on missing out on that thrilling experience.
Now, "Lifetime in Reel Life" kinda did have a shot at the beginning. There were several contributors, and I think we all know how much material there is to go around. The premise of that blog was to watch the Lifetime movies (or current reality tv shows) and analyze them in a comedic fashion. We sort of had a good thing going, and then everyone got busy and one of us up and decided to create this amazing baking company that you should be using called Annie's Petite Treats and the blog went by the wayside. And I'm a little sad in this exact moment that I didn't make one last post about the new Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig Lifetime movie "A Deadly Adoption" because…it was a real Lifetime movie?? Who knew. Personally, I think Lifetime would have been genius to make that a big ol' spoof and create their own "Scary Movie" version of an LMN movie with Ferrell and Wiig, but I'm not in charge. (If I had a penny for every time I said that, y'all…) Anyway, I'm planning on DVR'ing that sister and seeing what all of the awkward fuss is about. But alas, you will not read anything about it on "Lifetime in Reel Life" because it no longer exists.
Let's be real here. I think you want my focus to stay on DWC and not on reviewing Lifetime movies. Unless I'm doing them here, which will most likely happen. Also, I don't live with Poops anymore, so it's not like we have a lot to contribute in the way of "Three's Company" but there will be stories aplenty because we've only moved about 5 minutes away from each other.
Y'all have a great Saturday and I hope you can all sleep tonight after getting such breaking news from me. If not, have a melatonin and call me in the morning. 🙂
