Fashion is a funny and fickle thing, I'll be the first to agree with this. As Seb accurately observed to me a while ago when we spotted two girls wearing identical onesies with matching ugg boots in a shopping centre – 'if someone hadn't told people this was "fashion" they would never ever wear it!'.
Don't get me wrong, I more than encourage people to wear whatever the hell they want to wear, even if it is a controversial onesie/ugg-boot combo, but I do find it entertaining the way people suddenly get obsessed with dungarees, onesies or tie-dye for a season and I wisely chuckle to myself that my charity shop foraging keeps me aloof from such foolishness. When flicking through the latest season of Topshop it has even occurred to me that fashion is more about what you can get away with wearing, as opposed to what will look good – but that could be my inner granny talking (although to be fair, many of us look to our grandmas' generation for fashion inspiration).
Actually, tie-dye brings us a smidgen closer to the actual topic at hand. I may laugh in the face of fashion, and chuckle at temporary trends, but I admit – I have jumped onto that bandwagon as keenly as the next Country Living-reading Pinterest-pinning Blog-loving twenty-something. And it ain't pretty. Oh wait, hang on, that's the point – it actually is rather pretty.
To get to the point, an old 1930s chair given to me by my grandma now looks like something from a Country Living feature. I got the idea from this fantastic DIY blog. I suppose in one way though, this is a slight twist on contemporary fashion. After all, most dip-dye their hair. I dip-dyed my chair.

Latest food waste report reveals staggering statistics.
At Brantlegh Waste we are always surprised by the vast quantities of waste produced up and down the country. However, a recent survey carried out by Sainsbury's, which involved studying the waste food patterns of 5,000 households uncovered a shocking relationship between us Britons and our food. According to this report we are wasting around £700.00 per year, per family, which to put it into perspective could buy you a Macbook or flights to Italy. Interestingly, the report identified four main factors that contribute to this concerning attitude regarding food waste, which we have listed here for your reading pleasure.
- A lack of awareness
Whilst tireless awareness campaigns have seen us make a conscious efforts to switch off lights when not in a room and turn down heating. Sadly, the same principle has yet to be applied to food waste. Seemingly the last taboo in waste management, food waste has traditionally suffered from lack of PR, and has been unable to garner the same level of interest.
- A startling gap between perceived knowledge and behaviour
There is a real disconnect between our perception and the reality. Because even whilst most of us are becoming more sensitive to the environment and enthusiastic about energy saving schemes,(particularly when they help save money) with 74% of those surveyed stating they purposefully turn off lights when they leave a room and 32% claiming to have switched energy suppliers. Most households have few qualms when throwing away vast quantities of food.
According to Richard Swannel, director of sustainable food systems at Wrap, wasting food costs £700 a year for the average family, whilst the majority of people surveyed believed they were wasting far closer to £400.
- A lack of good role models
There are a number of celebrities associated with creating a more sustainable world. Big names like Leo DiCaprio, Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz have all spoken loudly and proudly about their commitment to fighting the Green cause. Sadly, food waste isn't quite as sexy and has failed to gain the same celebrity interest. Without any famous names driving the cause forward, food waste, has until now, largely fell under the public radar. Although, only time will tell if the push by Sainsbury's will encourage eco-friendly, bio-aware celebrities to face the cause of food waste.
- Social trends
In our Vegan, gluten-free, no additive society we are constantly being encouraged to hand-make innovative recipes filled with the oddest ingredients you've never heard of. However, the problem is that ingredients such as chai-seeds, almond butter or buckwheat flour do not have the flexibility of old favourites like sugar, salt and white flour. Most likely, they will be used for one recipe, whose two hour long process did not justify the five minute eating time that still left you feeling hungry. And then they will sit on your shelf, a guilty reminder of the healthy eating promise you made many moons ago.
If you have any further questions feel free to give us a call on 0333 8000 613.

NZ Rejects Again Nuclear Energy
News out of Sydney is that Australia and the US are pushing nuclear energy as the way of the future and an absolute guarantee of energy production without carboniferous emissions. This is an eminently sensible policy and strategy and has the support of none other than James Lovelock the UK's celebrated greenie and originator of the Gaia hypothesis. His account is here.
New Zealand's political leadership has rejected again the nuclear option. We're not budging says Winston Peters.
What inhabits these people's minds? Perhaps we should quote from Lovelock himself:
"Opposition to nuclear energy is based on irrational fear fed by Hollywood-style fiction, the Green lobbies and the media"
"These fears are unjustified, and nuclear energy from its start in 1952 has proved to be the safest of all energy sources. We must stop fretting over the minute statistical risks of cancer from chemicals or radiation. Nearly one third of us will die of cancer anyway, mainly because we breathe air laden with that all pervasive carcinogen, oxygen."
Readers will recall I have blogged on the nuclear option before. Recall again my advocacy for exploring advanced technology including the Pebble Bed Reactor being developed in South Africa and in China under license to German developed technology.
Minister for Disarmament Phil Goff says Nuclear power causes environmental concerns. Is the fact it was NZ's Disarmament Minister commenting proof the unreformed peaceniks at the top of the Labour tree still confuse nuclear power with nuclear weapons, 40 years after they first marched up Queen Street?
These people really need to get out more.
All first world economies are embracing nuclear power as a solution to power demand and the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. New Zealand is alone in rejecting the option. Talk of embracing sustainable options is fallacious. We won't allow any more dams, wind power is hard to get going with nimby concerns and anyway it is ineffective when needed (demand curve seldom meets the windy day curve).
We are facing future energy shortages and Labour cannot get over their ideology.
Remember China kills about 4,000 coal miners a year - the nuclear power industry has killed no -one since Chernobyl. No options are risk free.

coal vs nuclear per se is not affected by these remarks. various factors such as health and safety standards are being left out of consideration here.

keewee01: Have just come from Harvey Normans where I was going to get a Nespresso U, but they now also have the Map Bella, which uses the Caffitaly System of capsules. Machine, with milk frother (same style as the Nespresso Aeroccinno - but it will apparently only make heated milk 'extras') is $349
(Replacement milk frother, if needed, was/is apparently going to be under $40!)
The Bella comes with a red interchangeable face plate, which can be replaced with one of a variety of colours that are available for purchase.
Map Caffitaly capsules are $8.50 per box of 10 capsules, available off the shelf in Harvey's.
There are only 5 different flavors at the moment, but only 4 are coffee and 1 is Belgium Chocolate. The Sales Rep in Harveys said he expected more flavors to appear down the track, but I took a look on the Harvey's Australian website and after having the Bella's for several years they still only have the same 4 coffees (and 1 chocolate) that are being offered here.
The Caffitlay capsules are a lot larger than the Nespresso and so you will get a much stronger cup of out out it - so I am told.
Has anyone had any experience with the Map Bella or their Caffitaly capsules? Comments?
(Comments on Harvey's Australian website range from "fabulous" to comments about the noise, and poor coffee consistency.)
ETA missing punctuation :)
I see that Caffitaly capsules of differing brands and flavors are available online from several New Zealand cafes or cafe suppliers. So that adds more options for coffee flavors for this system.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
What are the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Who is at risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome?
How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?
How is carpal tunnel syndrome treated?
How can carpal tunnel syndrome be prevented?
What research is being done?
Where can I get more information?
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel—a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand—houses the median nerve and the tendons that bend the fingers. The median nerve provides feeling to the palm side of the thumb and to the index, middle, and part of the ring fingers (although not the little finger). It also controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb.
Sometimes, thickening from the lining of irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed. The result may be numbness, weakness, or sometimes pain in the hand and wrist, or occasionally in the forearm and arm. CTS is the most common and widely known of the entrapment neuropathies, in which one of the body's peripheral nerves is pressed upon.
Symptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic and/or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away. Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is often the result of a combination of factors that reduce the available space for the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, rather than a problem with the nerve itself. Contributing factors include trauma or injury to the wrist that cause swelling, such as sprain or fracture; an overactive pituitary gland; an underactive thyroid gland; and rheumatoid arthritis. Mechanical problems in the wrist joint, work stress, repeated use of vibrating hand tools, fluid retention during pregnancy or menopause, or the development of a cyst or tumor in the canal also may contribute to the compression. Often, no single cause can be identified.
Women are three times more likely than men to develop carpal tunnel syndrome, perhaps because the carpal tunnel itself may be smaller in women than in men. The dominant hand is usually affected first and produces the most severe pain. Persons with diabetes or other metabolic disorders that directly affect the body's nerves and make them more susceptible to compression are also at high risk. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs only in adults.
The risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome is not confined to people in a single industry or job, but is especially common in those performing assembly line work - manufacturing, sewing, finishing, cleaning, and meat, poultry, or fish packing. In fact, carpal tunnel syndrome is three times more common among assemblers than among data-entry personnel.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid permanent damage to the median nerve.
Treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome should begin as early as possible, under a doctor's direction. Underlying causes such as diabetes or arthritis should be treated first.
Non-surgical treatments
Carpal tunnel release is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. Generally, surgery involves severing a ligament around the wrist to reduce pressure on the median nerve. Surgery is usually done under local or regional anesthesia (involving some sedation) and does not require an overnight hospital stay. Many people require surgery on both hands. While all carpal tunnel surgery involves cutting the ligament to relieve the pressure on the nerve, there are two different methods used by surgeons to accomplish this.
Following surgery, the ligaments usually grow back together and allow more space than before. Although symptoms may be relieved immediately after surgery, full recovery from carpal tunnel surgery can take months. Almost always there is a decrease in grip strength, which improves over time. Some individuals may develop infections, nerve damage, stiffness, and pain at the scar. Most people need to modify work activity for several weeks following surgery, and some people may need to adjust job duties or even change jobs after recovery from surgery.
Although recurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome following treatment is rare, fewer than half of individuals report their hand(s) feeling completely normal following surgery. Some residual numbness or weakness is common.
At the workplace, workers can do on-the-job conditioning, perform stretching exercises, take frequent rest breaks, and ensure correct posture and wrist position. Wearing fingerless gloves can help keep hands warm and flexible. Workstations, tools and tool handles, and tasks can be redesigned to enable the worker's wrist to maintain a natural position during work. Jobs can be rotated among workers. Employers can develop programs in ergonomics, the process of adapting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of workers. However, research has not conclusively shown that these workplace changes prevent the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is to seek fundamental knowledge of the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. The NINDS is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world.
Scientists supported by the NINDS are studying the factors that lead to progressive nerve injury and how damage to nerves is related to symptoms of pain, numbness, and loss of function. Researchers also are examining biomechanical stresses that contribute to the nerve injury responsible for symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome in order to better understand, treat, and prevent this ailment. By quantifying the distinct biomechanical pressures from fluid and anatomical structures, researchers are finding ways to limit or prevent CTS in the workplace and decrease other costly and disabling occupational illnesses.
Scientists funded through NIH's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health are investigating the effects of acupuncture on pain, loss of median nerve function, and changes in the brain associated with CTS. In addition, a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment in conjunction with standard medical care is underway. Evaluations of these and other therapies will help to tailor individual treatment programs.
Another NIH component, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disorders (NIAMS), supports research on tissue damage associated with repetitive motion disorders, including CTS. As part of this research, scientists have developed animal models that are helping to understand and characterize connective tissue in hopes of reducing tissue buildup and identifying new treatments.

Silverlight Versions and Version Compatibility
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Version Compatibility for Existing Silverlight Applications
In general, the Silverlight runtime is engineered such that the most current version of the runtime is capable of running applications that were compiled with previous versions of the tools, and targeting a specific preceding version number. However, there are occasionally breaking changes that are introduced into the Silverlight runtime behavior, usercode API, and codebase.
The Concept of Quirks Mode
In some cases, rather than introducing a breaking change, the newest version of the Silverlight runtime introduces a quirks mode that applies to a particular behavior or usercode API. The idea behind a quirks mode is that the Silverlight runtime uses the deliberate version targeting of a Silverlight application as an indication of which runtime the application was originally built and tested for. If the target version is a previous version, the codepath that defines the quirks mode is entered. The quirks mode either emulates or actually is the same behavior that the previous version runtime had when using that behavior or calling that API. In other words, the application runs as it did before, when tested against the runtime it originally targeted.
However, if the target version is the current version, the default behavior of the API is engaged. The default behavior in the most current runtime typically represents an improvement in a feature, or a fix for a bug. Nevertheless, the improvement might have had side effects that are not desirable for previously existing applications when run against the most current runtime, and thus the old behavior was preserved under a quirks mode.
Silverlight 5 and Silverlight 4 specifically introduced a number of quirks mode cases, to support migration from previous versions. Each such quirks mode is documented in Ensuring That Your Silverlight Applications Work with Silverlight 5 and Ensuring That Your Silverlight Applications Work with Silverlight 4.
Version Information in API Reference Documentation
Multiple versions of Silverlight are covered in the same set of API reference documentation. For API reference topics, you should check the Version Information section of the API reference topic to determine which versions of Silverlight are supported by that API. Occasionally, specific version-related behavior differences are called out in Version Notes in the Remarks section of the API reference topic. Reference information for Silverlight as it applies to Windows Phone is also included in this documentation set, and version support for Windows Phone is also noted in the Version Information section. In API listings such as the members tables for classes and interfaces, Windows Phone version support is noted by the presence of a special Windows Phone icon on the left side of the table row for the API.
For more information on documentation conventions that are related to Silverlight versioning, including how versioning information is communicated in conceptual documentation, see About the Silverlight Documentation.
Versioning and Compatibility for Windows Phone
This topic does not discuss versioning or compatibility with Silverlight for Windows Phone; all versioning issues discussed in this topic pertain to the different versions of Silverlight for the desktop. For more information about versions of Silverlight for Windows Phone, and for some general guidance on feature sets that might be useful if migrating from Silverlight for the desktop to Silverlight for Windows Phone, see What's New in Silverlight for Windows Phone or Features Differences Between Silverlight and Silverlight for Windows Phone.

1 cup thick cut rolled oats3 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Seeds of one vanilla bean
3 large eggs, separated
Zest of one lemon
2 cups mixed berries
Pure maple syrup
Hemps seeds, toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 2 quart baking dish.
In a large saucepan, combine the oats, milk, salt, sugar, and seeds of the vanilla bean. Over medium heat bring the oat mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook for 15 minutes or until the oats are softened and the mixture begins to thicken. Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly.
Separate the eggs. Once the oats have cooled a bit, working quickly, whisk in the egg yolks completely. With a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites and lemon zest into the oat mixture until just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Gently dot the top of the unbaked soufflé with a handful of berries and lightly push each berry down into the mixture a bit.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove from oven and brush the top of the soufflé with pure maple syrup. When serving, top each serving with fresh berries, hemp seeds and/or sesame seeds, a splash of cream, and light drizzle of maple syrup. The souffle is best when eaten soon after it comes out of the oven.
*I bought some thick cut oats, but they didn't really look that much thicker than my regular rolled oats. It only took about 10 minutes for my thick cut/regular oats to soften.

The suspects in the Halloween attack on two gay men have been charged with a hate crime, officials said.
Sally Thomas, head deputy district attorney for the Long Beach office, on Monday reviewed and amended the case, adding a hate crime allegation to the counts.
When charges were first filed last Wednesday in Long Beach Superior Court, the hate crime allegation was not among the counts, said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman with the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
The two Long Beach suspects, Marquise Lucas, 19, and Sierus Lamar Dunbar, 27, were each charged with one count of battery with serious bodily injury and one count of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.
Lucas also was charged with a second count of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.
Both men pleaded not guilty, Gibbons said.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 17.
The Halloween attack occurred near The Gay and Lesbian Center of Greater Long Beach in front of several witnesses, who contacted police and paramedics for help, said Wade Cook, 53, one of the men who was attacked.
Both men sustained moderate injuries and were taken by Long Beach Fire Department paramedics to a local hospital. One of the men was released November 1 and the other survivor, who is in his 60s, was released Wednesday said.
The attack occurred about 8:15 p.m. after the victims, both in their late 50s or early 60s, had left The Center. They were approached near Cherry Avenue and Fourth Street by two male suspects who called them a derogatory name for gays, the second victim told the Press-Telegram.
As the two men walked past the suspects, one of them took a cellphone picture of the harassing suspect while the other man was preparing to contact police. But the suspects attacked the men.
One of the suspects pushed one of the victims onto the ground and stomped on the man's hand in an attempt to grab his cellphone, said the second victim, who did not want his name mentioned.
The other suspect knocked the other victim onto the sidewalk before they rolled into the street. When the victim the first victim got up and made his way to the sidewalk, the suspect punched him in the face, and the man fell onto the sidewalk and became unconscious, the victim explained.
One of the men sustained a cut to his left eyebrow, a bruised hip and blunt trauma to his left hand. The other survivor sustained injuries to his mouth and some damaged teeth, the victim said.
The suspects fled on foot, but were detained and eventually arrested by Long Beach police officers near Third Street and Cherry Avenue, said Nancy Pratt, a spokeswoman with the Long Beach Police Department.
Anyone with any information regarding the incident is asked to contact Violent Crimes Detective Jackie Bezart at 562-570-7250.

A model for the vacuum pyrolysis of biomass
Thesis (MScEng (Process Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
Biomass is a significant renewable energy source and much research is currently being done to enable the production of biofuels and chemicals from biomass. This study looks at vacuum pyrolysis, a technology which has the potential to turn biomass, amongst other waste materials, into commercially valuable commodities. Vacuum pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of a feedstock in the absence of oxygen and under low pressure, to produce a bio-oil and char as main products, together with water and non-condensable gases. Both the oil and char have a high energy content and may be used as fuels. An incredible number of chemical compounds are also found in the oil and these compounds can be extracted and sold as high value chemicals.

If you're a mom or dad with kids, you probably spend the majority of your life questioning whether you're a good enough parent, whether your house is kept neat and you wonder about all these factors that could potentially affect your kids in a negative or positive light because once you become a parent, your world becomes consumed by thoughts of giving them everything you can afford to give them.
Even if you're not a parent and you're wondering how you can create a more healthier home environment, these tips and information that we have provided will definitely help you to feel better and prolong your health.
Get A Pet
This might not seem like the ideal tip that will be mentioned on these types of articles but many people ignore and neglect the good that having a pet in a household can do to the overall aura and energy of the household.
Sure, a god will from time to time bit a favorite shoe or take a dump on your brand new carpet but the joy of having a companion to come home to that is always thrilled to see you is an indescribable feeling. Dogs and many other types of pets are used as means of emotional for people suffering with various illnesses so you also can definitely benefit from a furry companion.
Prevent Humidity
Humid air conditions in a home can provide a breeding ground for various bacteria's and viruses and also provide mites with the ideal living conditions so if your infrastructure begins to grow weaker and your wet basement is also not helping the situation, you could be looking at a situation that will cost you thousands of dollars for restumping Melbourne and fixing water damage.
Restumping costs can be quite pricy and if you're on a tight budget for the year, you might want to combat these issues as early on as possible before it becomes a bigger issues that requires a bigger. One of the easiest ways to reduce humidity in your home is by installing a dehumidifier so this is a quick fix that will make your problems go away.
Throw The Candles
Petroleum based paraffin wax candles may make your home smell like pumpkin spice during the fall time but most of these candles are made from a wax that produces hazardous chemicals that can lead to various health risks and issues. Instead of buying these hazardous products, invest in soy candles that will make your home smell nice without cutting out a few years out of your lifespan.
If you want to take it a step further into a more healthier and beneficial alternative, you could try and hop on the trend that is essentials oils. Diffusers and essential oils are sold almost everywhere nowadays and it has certainly become more of a fad and people are using oils without even realizing their beneficial qualities.

Endodontic (Root Canal) Therapy
A "root canal," or endodontic therapy, is a procedure available to save a tooth that is infected and would otherwise require extraction. There are many reasons that teeth can become infected, including: cavities, previous large fillings, crowns, cracks, trauma and extreme wear.
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (nerve and blood supply), bacteria and any decay are removed, and the resulting space is filled with an inert material called gutta percha. After the tooth is healed, getting a crown is recommended, because the tooth will become brittle.

Exploring hybrid ERP deployments
In this expert response, find out how to have successful hybrid ERP deployments.
Is it possible to only deploy some modules of my ERP system in the cloud and leave others in-house? Can this hybrid ERP deployment be done on one system, or will I need two different ERP systems to make it work?
It certainly is possible to deploy some software in the cloud and other software internally, but the answers largely depend on what your ERP software vendor will -- and will not -- support in this regard.
In any case, it is likely the best strategy to have one deployment method for all your core ERP modules, whether they are cloud-based or internally hosted. If you do not want to move all your ERP modules to the cloud, explore outsourcing options with your third-party bolt-on applications.

Shield Yourself From Scams
Fraudsters take advantage of innocent consumers daily through checks, ATM, and Internet scams, and they're using the latest technology to pull off their scams. Know the latest trends to protect yourself.
Phishing scams
This Internet scam has already claimed one million victims. Phishers send fraudulent emails containing authentic looking logos and graphics and ask for financial information. The newest scam is activated when you simply open an email, no clicking required. Once infected, the scammers change the IP address in your PC's Hosts file to their choosing, associates the IP address with financial institution Web sites, and forces your browser to go to fake Web sites.
Tip: Change online banking and shopping account passwords every three to six months. To avoid being led to fraudulent Web sites, retype Web addresses in your browser rather than click through email links.
Check scams
Fraudsters increasingly use e-mail to contact victims, and the most common check scam is the "Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud." You're told you'll be sent a check for an extra sum and you're asked to wire back the excess money. Scammers purport to be from other countries and claim you can collect on a sweepstakes or pay you to work at home. The realistic-looking checks are forgeries, but victims are responsible for money withdrawn against bad checks.
Tip: Don't send refunds or deliver goods in the time it takes cashiers' checks to clear.
ATM scams
Skimming is the newest ATM scam. Using a skimmer and a card-swipe device that reads your ATM card – the fraudster uses a blank card to encode information from your ATM card and create a counterfeit. Your PIN is confiscated through a small camera mounted on the ATM. You won't know you've been scammed because your ATM card hasn't been stolen and still works at other machines.
Tip: Be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary at the ATM, such as odd-looking equipment or wires. Monitor accounts regularly for unusual activity.
If you've been scammed, contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov and your financial institution immediately.

Note from David: My friend John Bardos asked me to post this guest article on my blog. This is a worthwhile cause and is also of special interested to me since I'm currently living in Vietnam, so please show any support you can.
We travel in order to broaden our horizons, to come into contact with people and places whose differences from us may be both enchanting and disorienting, their commonalities with us a warming reminder of our humanity. When traveling in the developing world, we're inevitably faced with reminders of our own fortunate lives as we encounter laborers working with improper equipment or children toiling for an infinitesimal hourly wage instead of going to school or playing. Our hearts break for them, but what can we do to help?
Ben Randall had the opportunity to dwell a little longer in such a place while teaching English in northern Vietnam. One of the locals he befriended was girl we'll call M, then 15 years old. After leaving Vietnam, Ben learned that M had been kidnapped, most likely trafficked across the border in China for forced marriage or work in the sex trade.
To help find M, Ben is delving into the industry of human trafficking, which encompasses a network spanning 161 countries and has trafficked up to 27 million victims, primarily in Southeast Asia. In order to raise awareness about human trafficking, Ben is documenting his journey to find M in a feature-length film.
Please take a moment to watch this video for all of the times you have seen a helpless soul and felt unable to help.

text: Fifteen-year-old cheerleader Godeliva "Livey" Ell struggles with algebra, while her ten-year-old genius brother, Darby, resembles their clueless mathematician father, absent theoretical physicist mother and wacky great-aunt Ludy, a mathematician who worked on the first hydrogen bomb and developed the "Thingamabob Conjecture." With the help of Aunt Ludy's old books, Darby proves the conjecture, unleashing a megalomaniac from another universe, The Alpha Omega Function ("Bob" for short), who relishes the Pythagorean Brotherhood that worships him as well as Skippy Super Chunk peanut butter, sets out to fix the asymmetry on earth (e.g., righting the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and wreaks untold havoc. A ridiculous chase to capture this genie-like monster ensues, with Darby and Livey aided by a seraph and a rebel angel and the FBI on everyone's heels. Despite the unique math angle, the only thing this slow, convoluted thriller consistently proves is its unappealing qualities to teens: stereotyped characters, false voices, failed attempts at humor, Livey's undeveloped romance with the rebel angel and religious undertones that border on didacticism. Skip to the next problem. (Fantasy. 12-16)

Disclaimer: I am not an expert. All I know I learned from Google.
The weather has warmed up and the snow has melted off again so I got the motorcycle out and road it to work today. The forecast had called for it to be worm and dry all week but they are now forecasting a cool-down with chance of rain and snow on Thursday. Oh well, it's spring time in the Rockies.
I'm not getting the gas mileage that I should be getting. It started out getting 45mpg but it has dropped a little with each fill-up. It's down to 34mpg. Other C50 Boulevard riders report 45-48mpg city/50-52mpg highway. Something not right. Aside from mechanical problems there are several other factors that can affect gas mileage on a motorcycle.
Wind resistance probably has the biggest impact on gas mileage. Anything that sticks out (or up) into the air flowing around the bike as it's moving down the road causes wind resistance. The rider is typically the most prominent wind obstruction on a motorcycle. That's why a lot of motorcycles have a windscreen and fairing. I know this has a major impact at highway speeds but I don't know how much of an impact it has at city speeds. My motorcycle doesn't have a windscreen or fairing.
Tire pressure also has an impact on gas mileage. Too low of a tire pressure can can wear out the tread faster and ruin the tire, can make cornering more difficult, and reduce gas mileage. The specifications for my motorcycle calls for 33psi in the front tire and 36psi in the back tire (cold). Some riders will lower the tire pressure down a little for a smother ride. The streets around here tend to have a lot of ridges, ribbons and cracks in them; It's worse at intersections where cars apply their breaks or turn. I had lowered the air pressure in my tires down to 30psi and 35psi hoping it would smooth out the ride a little. I didn't notice any difference so I've pumped them back up.
Using the wrong octane of gas can also affect gas mileage. The specifications for my motorcycle calls for 87 octane - I've been using 85 octane. That doesn't seem like it should make too much of a difference until I factor in the fact that from September - February they sell oxygenated gas. Oxygenated gas produces less air pollutants but it also reduces the gas mileage! I need to be buying 87 octane during the summer months and the next higher octane when the gas is oxygenated. I could try a different brand of gas too.
Lugging the bike (running at too low an rpm for the gear) also affects gas mileage. My motorcycle doesn't have a tachometer on it so I shift based on what the engine sounds like and how the bike feels to me. This might not be a good gauge for shifting. I tend to shift into 2nd fairly quickly. I also use the friction zone a lot going in/out of the garage and when pulling away from stop lights so the engine might be lugging a little then. The problem is, I don't know what the rpm really is or even what it should be! I miss having a tachometer.
I've got the right octane in the gas tank now and have pumped the tires up to the right tire pressure. I think I will get a windscreen. I really don't know if I'm lugging the engine so I won't worry about it.

Ceremony & Reception
May 5, 2001
The wedding ceremony was a late afternoon affair held at Graham Chapel on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, Missourri. Just as the marriage was a union of two cultures, the wedding ceremony consisted of mix of Indian and western traditions as well as specifics chosen by the bride and groom.
|Maid/Matron of Honor
|Best Man
| Laura
Gericke - Sharon's sister
| Mike O'Connor
- Neelan's friend from college
Diane Burns - Sharon's sister
Nicole Bryan - Sharon's friend from college
Jennifer Logeman - Sharon's friend from college
Eric Andrew Ask - Neelan's friend from college
Kyle Jay Stokley - Neelan's friend from Corpus Christi
John Vernon Ward - Neelan's friend from college
Bharat Mehta
- Neelan's uncle from Bangalore India
| James
Cazamias - Neelan's friend from Corpus Christi
David Burns - Sharon's brother
Many people have asked for a copy of the wedding ceremony, and in particular the speech given by Uncle Bharat. We'll put the ceremony on the website shortly but for the time being, here is the text from Uncle Bharat's speech:
Mr. and Mrs. Burns, my sister Geeta, my Mother, friends and relatives of our two families and Neelan and Sharon in particular,
When I was asked to say a few words on this occasion, I felt honoured for this opportunity extended to me. However, this initial exuberance soon gave way to butterflies as the magnitude of the task began to dawn on me. I schemed a way out of this and wondered if a one liner would do. So here it is, "if you want your marriage to succeed, don't do what I did." But wait a minute, the next speaker will not going to be ready for another 6 minutes, so bear with me as I try to share what the school of hard knocks taught us, my wife and I.
The single most important factor we decided upon was to give our marriage the maximum weightage and the top most priority. Everything else was subordinate to it. This was not easy. Hitherto we were used to taking decisions based on our personal likes and dislikes. This had now to be replaced, with our new status as husband and wife. Instead of saying that I am going to the movies, we found ourselves saying that, "come lets go to the movies." I became we. This changed even further when we entered our new role as father and mother. So you can see, our individuality slowly started taking a back seat and we found ourselves increasingly taking collective decisions in the greater interest of our marriage. Do this always. Do this everytime, till it becomes your second nature.
As responsibilities increase, continue to find time for one another. Household duties, career matters and parental responsibilities will leave apparently no time, but look and create these openings. Hold hands as you walk up to your car on your way to work. Share a thought that appealed to you as you drive along. Take pictures of happy moments. Step back every now and then to relive those joyful cherished memories. But this does not mean that everything is going to be hunky dory. There are bound to be occasional differences of opinion. So what. Actually, if you ask me Neelan, differences enrich a marriage. But don't let that make you go looking for differences. There's also no point in pretending to agree with the other on everything. In that case, there is no need for one of you.
A rich child will always say that a banana is yellow. A poor child who has only eaten the discarded and over ripe ones will say it is black.s Neither is wrong. Both are correct from their individual point of view. So never conclude hastily. Keep an open mind and try to understand what prompted the other to make the statement.
Another ingredient that we have come to accept is that there is strength in resilience. When a storm blows over, the mighty oak lays shattered on the ground, but the blade of grass has survived. It allowed itself to bend and allowed the storm to pass. So don't stand up rigidly. Learn to compromise and reconcile. Bend. You can bend easily only when your ego is in check. As you lie down at night, within arms reach of each other, your ego can actually take you miles apart.
So work at your marriage everyday. Be alert and agile to weed out unhealthy influences. Constantly look for moments that will help you strengthen it. Remember infatuation is short lived. Look for something that is beyond the ravages of time. Show concern, care, respect, appreciation and communicate freely. I am sure you will agree that the secret of a good marriage is no longer a secret.
I hope this has not sounded as a sermon. But don't blame me if it did. The ambiance has had a little to do with it and my enthusiasm to help launch Neelan in his married life.
I would like to end by paying tribute to my Father and Neelan's Father who are no longer with us. I know they are smiling down on us, proud of the man Neelan has become and proud of his choice in a wife.
The reception was held at Cafe DeMenil on May 05, 2001 6:30 PM - 11:30 PM.
The reception menu featured Indian (recipes from Neelan's mother) and American food, and the wedding cake was chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. The reception entertainment was by Mystic Voyage.
We held an event for all of our out-of-town guests on Friday night, May 4th from 7 - 9 pm. It was at a restaurant called Harry's. There was a buffet of heavy appetizers and a cash bar. We rented a private party room and part of the patio, which is to the right when you enter.
On Sunday, we will have a casual breakfast/brunch in the hospitality suite at the Hampton Inn from 10:00 - 12:00. The emphasis is on "casual." We just want to have another opportunity to hang out with everyone who has traveled from around the world to come to our wedding. We will probably bring in bagels, fruit, juice, etc. Feel free to stop by at any time.
