New Yacht
Sanlorenzo priority is to listen to their customer's needs.
It allows to develop a project based on a plan of that customer's personalized space.
The project identifies the number, the size, and the types of cabins. It also delineates special-purpose areas, whose function is to satisfy the customer's specific entertainment, relaxation or enjoyment needs.
Since customers have their individual lifestyle, the company aim is to have their tastes, habits, and style define their boat. Client´s home may sometimes prove to be a good starting point for understanding the style most suited to their floating home.
Owning a Sanlorenzo means having the opportunity to choose the materials involved in creating your boat. That's because boat owners should be able to choose each and every detail to best express their personality. This choice is not limited to the cladding and covering materials, but extends to such items as the marble slabs and the wood species employed.
A Sanlorenzo boat is tailored to the owner's needs to produce something unique, much like a bespoke suit. It doesn't just provide luxury and choice of materials. It also provides the handcrafted production that ensures that each choice made by customers is a perfect fit with all the other elements. The company employs the best artisans, whose work is synonymous with quality and care.
Building a Sanlorenzo boat is a skilful and elaborate process which gives life to something that is as unique as each one of our customers.
These boats are elite, beyond trends, and built around our customer needs. Each Sanlorenzo motor yacht is as unique as a work of art, and every Sanlorenzo has its own story to tell; let it tell yours.
New Yachts
First for quality
When Windy Boats was established in 1966, their first sport boats set new standards for performance and craftsmanship. 50 years on, they're still driven by the urge to be the best. All Windy Boats bear the hallmark of quality without compromise, drawing on five decades of boat building excellence, and centuries of Scandinavian seafaring heritage. Put simply, they build better boats because they're Windy. It's in its DNA.
Second to none
Windy builds boats like no other shipyard in the world. Classic speed boats that are beautiful to behold, and a joy to drive. Technically advanced sport cruisers that deliver class-leading performance and fuel economy. Safe, confidence-inspiring offshore cruisers that put families at ease. And awe-inspiring custom supertenders that not only look sensational but can be relied on to perform

Camino continues mastery of cooking over open flame
In the past few weeks, I've reviewed TBD and Penrose, two new restaurants that cook over open fire. I couldn't help but compare them to Camino.
Camino, which is just a few blocks from Penrose in Oakland, is the benchmark; no one has been able to tame the flames like Russell Moore, who opened the restaurant in 2008 with Allison Hopelain.
It wasn't an easy go. At first, diners complained there weren't enough choices. Moore offers just three main courses because he has three fires going and assigns one cook the responsibility for a single main course each night. With such watchful eyes, the cooks can maintain total control of what comes off the grill or out of the wood-burning oven.
Some people didn't understand the concept, and were puzzled there was no pizza - after all, what's a wood oven without pizza? The bar didn't offer many spirits, either, because Moore wouldn't bring any product through his doors that couldn't be traced back to the source, which left out most brands.
Now the world has caught up with him. Finally people understand what he's doing, although he's still one of the most underappreciated chefs in the Bay Area. Yet, a return visit earlier this week shows his mastery of the flames and his ability to combine flavors is unparalleled.
The restaurant has also settled into its space. When it opened, the interior looked extreme - concrete floors, raw brick walls, an open kitchen with a massive fireplace that looks like an altar, and four rows of long, mostly communal tables fronted with wooden pews and chairs from a church. Even though I try to avoid communal tables, the space now feels right.
It's because of the food.
Moore is a brilliant cook, molded by working at Chez Panisse for more than 20 years along with writing the menu for the upstairs cafe for more than 12 years. Yet, it's also clear that this is his concept, one that comes from passion, which allowed him to survive the barbs and find a solid audience.
Make no mistake: His take is as ingredient-focused as you'll find at Chez Panisse. My recent dinner started with local oysters baked in the wood oven ($16) on a bed of fennel fronds that perfumed the whole area, reinforced with a splash of absinthe and the crunch of bread crumbs. The oysters were served with a small arugula salad to refresh the palate between bites.
A bold dish of smoked rockfish stew ($16) had that elusive, contradictory quality that distinguishes many great creations: While seemingly rustic, the combination of ingredients was refined and elegant. The brick-color broth held the gently smoked fillets, with thin rings of pickled chiles, burdock and snips of chrysanthemum that gave depth to the blend.
Most dishes reflect the earthy nuance of the fire, including smoked quail ($13) with a punterelle salad; and kabocha squash salad ($10) with yogurt, pomegranates, almonds and grilled onions.
Even when there's no fire in the mix, such as in the chicory salad ($10), the results are outstanding. The greens taste just-picked, garnished with pecans and aged sheep's-milk cheese, and brought together with a vinaigrette using house-made red wine vinegar.
Main courses always include a vegetarian option, such as wood-roasted king trumpet and fried hen-of-the-woods mushrooms ($24) with smoky lentils and a fire-cooked egg.
On this visit, it seemed as if many people were there for the half crab ($25), grilled in the fireplace and accompanied by a watermelon radish salad, fingerling potatoes, preserved lemon and one of the best versions of aioli I've had. We asked for seconds on the aioli and secretly wanted another half of the Dungeness, it was so succulent.
Pigs' heads adorn the walls by the open kitchen, so, as you might imagine, pork has an honored place on the menu. In this case, it was medium-rare slices of the grilled leg ($24) and a sausage patty surrounded by sauerkraut, pickled purple cabbage, Brussels sprouts and spaetzle. The plate looked a little messy - every square inch was filled - but the flavors were exceptional.
I can say the same for the cocktails, which are as precisely conceived as the savory courses, whether it's the Tequila Reposado sour with lemon, agave, Seville orange and a cap of egg white ($12) or the bourbon old-fashioned ($12).
Desserts aren't to be missed, either. A buckwheat tart ($10), where the dough wraps around thinly sliced apples, was lightly singed and blackened around the edges, stopping just short of being bitter; offset by the sweetness of the fruit and syrup, it was a satisfying blend. Moist, coarse crumbed Tunisian orange cake ($9) defied its simple presentation, with clear, intense flavors.
I loved Camino when it opened, and it's only gotten better in every respect, including the service. Moore and Hopelain continue to stoke the fire that others may try to emulate but no one has surpassed.

DIY Flat Roof RepairGil Stein
DIY Flat Roof Repair
Unless you have a great deal of experience in roofing, it's not recommended that you fix a flat roof yourself. If you find a leak in your flat roof, it's vital that it be prepared properly because even the smallest blister will allow water to get underneath the surface, and cause a great deal of damage. If you're confident in your roofing skills and are up to the challenge, here is an outline of how you can repair your damaged flat roof:
- Sweep the area free of any dirt or debris
- Cut out any cracked or peeling areas with a razor knife and remove those sections. For the sake of appearance, make the cut areas uniform-shapes like rectangles and squares.
- Use those shapes as a sample, and cut a replacement piece in the same size and shape. If you happen to cut out more than one bad layer, you'll need to cut enough pieces to make the new section up to the same level as the area around it.
- Cut another patch about 3 inches larger, all the way around.
- Lodge a putty knife underneath the edges around the cut-out area.
- Apply roofing cement under those edges.
- Spread a layer of roofing cement down in the entire cut-out area, with your putty knife.
- Press the new portion into the hole.
- Tack it down the other layers with roofing nails.
- Lay the larger patch over the one you just applied and nail that down on top.
- Spread cement around the edges of the top patch to seal it in place.
Again, this might seem a bit confusing if you're not an experienced roofer. If this is the case, it might be best just to leave the job to a professional roofing contractor. It could be the case that your roof is in such bad shape that a complete flat roof replacement is the only sensible option.
If you're in need of a flat roof repair, or you're considering a flat roof replacement, don't hesitate to contact Hercules Roofing, your premier south Florida roofing contractors

New research in the The American Journal of Human Genetics now shows that all people with blue eyes are genetic descendants of just one man.
3 thoughts on "links for 2008-02-04"
"There are 10 ways to get someone with red hair" and one way to get blue eyes….Hmmmm….I guess that makes me UBER special!! Although, I'm apparently a "mutant" (and so are you). So I guess I'm an Uber Special Mutant. I would like to know who the common ancestor is, though.
You are — without question — an Uber Special Mutant. 😉
That is seriously cool and a little creepy. My dad and my sister have blue eyes, and you have blue eyes, which means that somehow, you're kinda sorta related to me. Weird. But it's cool that I'm somehow kinda sorta really related to Camille!

OK, so before I get started I think I should explain the title, because it sounds a little unsporting. It is the name of the project I want to show off, which was named after a song by one of my all time favourite bands, Regurgitator. Still sounds unsporting? Yeah well it gets worse before it gets better 🙂 The song was written for the Sydney Olympics, don't worry it is very tongue-in-cheek. The project, is my Ravelympics project, where Ravelry users set them selves a knitting challenge to complete during the Olympics (Heard of the knitting Olympics? This is similar). See, the titular looser in this case is me. I am great at starting projects, but few are seen through to completion. I thought this would be a nice opportunity for me to start a project AND finish it within a short time frame. So I joined a team (Team Oz) and signed up for an event (sock put LOL).
Did I manage to crush my non-finishing run with this project. Umm, err, no, not exactly. Oh I finished it alright. I just did not cross the finish line on time. It is not all a loss, of course. I now have a very kick ass pair of hand-knitted socks that just did not exist three weeks ago. So here they are, albeit belatedly…
NOM. They are so pretty, I really cannot be disappointed. Next year I may even knit this same pattern for the Ravelympics. It will be much easier (and therefore faster *ahem*) the second time around, and this is a design I really can see myself making more of.
Here is the basic project info, for those that like to know such things;
- Pattern: The Firestarter, by Yarnissima. Knit toe-up, with a heel flap, short row toe and twisted stitch cable details. Oh and it was a freebie 😉 This pattern (for me) was packed with something new at every turn. This made for challenging and enjoyable knitting right the way through. I would not recommend them for beginner sock knitters. They are a must-do for anyone already comfy with sock knitting though. Oh and I am told that of all of Yarnissima's amazing designs, The Firestarter is the one to start out with (the others are just mind boggling to me, so I tend to agree with this advice).
- Yarn: Araucania, Ranco Multi. Purchased from Jenny King Designs. Kettle dyed and quite yummy. Though I have heard there may be some issues with wear, I'll see for myself and share my findings.
- Needles: Knit Picks Harmony fixed circulars, 3mm and 2.75mm sizes. Both were 80cm long. I got those from Tapestry Craft in Sydney (they arrived just in the nick of time too). This is the first I have used harmonies, but these are now my fave sock needles. Seriously.
- Mods: Just one, I added 4 extra stitches to the cuff portion to accommodate my calves. No biggie.
Just one more pic, 'cos we like those. Just look at that cabley goodness! I love how it separates to make way for the heel gusset. Mmmmmm…

If you're a farmer you can improve productivity on your land while looking after soil health and tackling weeds and pests. Lots of farmers say forging new friendships and learning from other farmers is another benefit of being involved in Landcare, especially if you've just moved into a new area, or you're new at farming.
If you don't have a farm, but you want to be part of Landcare, there are plenty of ways to be involved. For those of you who like to get your hands dirty, events like tree-planting days and weekends are lots of fun, and you can make firm friendships while doing something practical for the environment. And if you'd rather keep your hands clean, there are plenty of support roles that need volunteers to fill them.
If you have special skills and would like to contribute to supporting a community group or the environment, Landcare groups can use a wide range of skills to assist their projects and operations. These can include (but are not limited to);

While I work on making this blog more user-friendly and visually stunning, I may as well post links to a couple of recent items that have appeared elsewhere.
First, last week Professor Danny Sokol's Antitrust and Competition Policy Blog hosted an online symposium on my book Comparative Patent Remedies: A Legal and Economic Analysis (Oxford University Press 2013), with commentary by Professors Norman Siebrasse, Marketa Trimble, and Peter Yu. Links to the reviews are here, here, and here. Many thanks to Professor Sokol and to the reviewers.
Second, I posted an essay last week on IntellectualIP.com, a blog cosponsored by Briggs & Morgan P.A. and the University of Minnesota Law School, on Judge Robart's opinion on RAND royalties in Microsoft v. Motorola. The link is here.
Third, the big news so far this week is the European Commission's issuance of a Statement of Objections to Motorola Mobility concerning the latter's attempt to enforce an injunction against Apple in Germany. The issue is whether the pursuit of injunctive relief for the alleged infringement of standard-essential patents constitutes an abuse of dominant position under E.U. competition law. The Commission's press release can be found here. Good coverage in the Wall Street Journal and at Foss Patents.

Nothing is possibly better than having a highly-rated website. This instance affords a business entity the opportunity of marketing its products to a larger global audience via the internet. Owners of such commercial entities can then expect prospective clients to trust their brands leading to better profit margins. Web users have utilized major search engines for quite some time now. It is vital for websites to achieve top rankings as a way of ensuring online visibility. Several techniques are utilized in the process of Search Engine Optimization, which ascertains that a website reaches the top position. Back-links are a popular technique that webmasters employ using top SEO tools. Trends experienced in recent time reveal that back-links such as Ardor Backlinks play a vital role in conducting successful SEO processes.
How Back-Links Work
SEO back-links are links present on different websites that lead to a particular website, thereby generating more traffic onto it. Major search engines have a way of tracking quality back-links and clients can for instance turn to Ardor Backlinks for powerful SEO Backlinks. Having them in substantial number could boost appreciably the ranking of an affected website on search engines. It is nonetheless vital for them to be high in quality. Improving rankings via quality back-links usually proves to be a slow process, with search engines being quick in demoting websites which focus on producing generic back-links. SEO professionals ensure to always create back-links like Ardor Backlinks that are high in quality.
What to Observe When Creating Back-links
Quality – One should ascertain using reputable back-links only to a website. Webmasters check for quality back-links from websites that are well-established within their niche and industry of interest. Owners of websites can for example utilize SEO backlinks with Ardor and expect a positive outcome.
Taking it Slow – The algorithms utilized by search engines keep changing to ensure fairness and integrity are observed in the ranking process. It takes time to establish high-quality back-links stated earlier. Owners of websites could get penalized and duly demoted for instance for posting an excessive number of back-links on their sites within a short time-frame. This process can however be accelerated in a natural way using the best SEO software.
Relevance – One requires ensuring that back-links to a website originate from a relevant source. A website dealing in sale of clothes would for example not benefit from back-links redirected from a website offering live updates of football matches. Search engines check for relevance too. It means that any irrelevant material can be flagged as suspicious, although it could just have been due to poor back-linking practices.
Website Variety – Business owners can maintain multiple websites to correspond to the diverse facets of their entities. It works in their best interests if the back-links generated originate from diverse varieties of websites within a specific industry. Ardor Backlinks custom made backlink strategies can for instance generate promising results for website owners in this context.
Understanding the points mentioned above and implementing them with top-notch Ardor Backlinks and other SEO tools can by example help to boost the search engine rankings of a given website. It is however necessary to observe ethical practices all through this process, or risk getting penalized by search engines.

London 'needs more than 800,000 new homes'
More than 800,000 new homes need to be built in London by 2021 to keep up with housing demand, according to the body that represents the capital's councils.
London Councils, which represents 33 local authorities, said London's "future status as a global city" was at risk if the homes were not built.
A spokesman said costs for the London economy would continue to spiral if the demand was not meant.
London's population is expected to top nine million by 2021, he said.
'A scandal'
According to London Councils' analysis of housing statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and Greater London Authority, 526,000 new homes are needed to be built between 2011 and 2021 in London just to keep up with current housing demand.
A further 283,000 homes would also need to be built to meet both new demand and the backlog of housing need in London, it said.
However, according to London Councils' research, only 250,000 homes will be built on current projections.
Sir Steve Bullock, London Councils' Executive Member for Housing and the mayor of Lewisham, said: "The news that London needs almost a million homes by 2021 is a scandal - the last time we faced such an acute housing supply crisis was after the Second World War. This is a long time coming and the capital's future prosperity is on the line.
"Rising housing costs are not only a problem for those struggling to rent but for any Londoner wishing to buy their own home.
"If the housing crisis is not solved, costs for the London economy will continue to spiral. More working families will struggle to rent and to buy, more people could be forced out of the capital and homelessness is very likely to go up."
Boost supply
London Councils has suggested a number of policies to boost housing supply including lifting the "housing borrowing cap" which prevents councils investing in housing.
Other policies include increasing investment in the rental sector, supporting smaller scale builders, and promoting sustainable development near London's Tube and rail network.
In February London Mayor Boris Johnson said all stamp duty on property sold in the capital should be retained by London and not go to central government, to help build the new homes it "desperately needs."
He said: "If we do not come up with a new plan to build the homes we need, this great city will suffer and the whole country will feel the consequences."
A spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said builders, investors and local councils were being encouraged to increase the supply of both new-builds and repurposed empty homes.
"A number of schemes are in place covering England to help create more homes such as an investment fund for developers to help build homes on development sites that have stalled," he said.
"We've introduced the New Homes bonus, which is a grant to local councils for increasing the number of homes and their use and we're offering new loan guarantees for housing developers."

My beloved told me that San Francisco was a city of micro-climates.
I read several books on the matter that explained how, and why, San Francisco was a city of microclimates.
I even went so far as explaining to my mother (and others) in deeply knowledgeable-sounding tones that San Francisco (they should understand) is what you might call a city of microclimates.
Sometimes I speak to people at home and they ask if it is cold and foggy, as they have heard San Francisco is, and I say Microclimates! and then we move on to another topic very quickly before they have to go through me struggling to explain complex meteorological phenomena once more.
So what, Anna I hear you ask, might that mean? What ARE microclimates? What does it all MEAN.
Well, darling reader – it means that there are climates, but they are very very little!
Um. And thats it! I think!
Its because the city of San Francisco is on a promontory with the cold North Pacific on one side and a nice warm sheltered bay on the other side, and very big hills right in the middle of the city. Therefore while one side of the city might be cold and foggy and grey, another bit might be windy, and another bit again might be bright and sunny and hot.
I, of course, demanded we live in the sunbelt for SAD reasons. This is apparently the hottest time of the year, but even so; the sun has shone, hot and hard, every single day. Its good. I like it.
But thats only consistent in my part of town. And knowing about microclimates in theory is a very different thing to experiencing them in practice. They said that weather in one part of the city is no indication of weather on the other side: And fuck me, they werent kidding about. The first time I crossed the city without expecting it. I came out of the house wearing light clothes, sunglasses, flip flops and a thin layer of sweat. We climbed on a Muni-tram thing, which clunked and crunked its way through tunnels, down streets and up hills. Id noticed the clouds hanging over the top of the hill earlier in the day, but hadnt really connected.
As we headed over the hump, the people outside suddenly started wearing fleeces and overcoats. Flip-flops and sandals were replaced by trainers and boots. Someone walked past swinging an umbrella.
On the Muni, people opened their bags and brought out layers of clothing theyd had concealed within. These people are clever, and should probably write instructional books.
I would totally read those.
By the time we got to the other side of the city, I had goosepimples on my arms. We stepped down and went for a walk on the beach, shivering and cold, puzzled by the complete change in season brought about by a twenty minute public transport ride.
I am not used to weather being changeable by the city block. It is weird.

When was the last time you were on your Amy Winehouse shit? Brielle Leilani coins the term as your depressive moments partnered with your favorite liquor to ease the pain.
"Amy Winehouse" is Brielle's battle with herself. The April Fool Child sees her temporary solution as simply drowning in her thoughts; one minute she's wanting to run away, the next she's willing to face the consequences and grow from them. This ongoing battle is something we've all experienced, making her latest single one of the most relatable songs on our radar.
Nonetheless, Brielle manages to keep her life together. On the same day she released "Amy Winehouse" she tweeted about respect for other's opinions, and believing in oneself. Her truth is relatable, and that's what's going to keep the Flute Bae stealing hearts with every song.
I walk my own truth, and sleep in peace at night because it is mine.💎💰

James Corden: give Doctor Who the Glee treatment
This week's guest star says there should be a Doctor Who musical – but what do you think?
James Corden returns to Doctor Who alongside Matt Smith this Saturday as the Doctor's former flatmate, Craig. And in an interview with the two in Radio Times, Corden reveals he'd love to be involved in a musical episode of Doctor Who.
"I didn't watch [Doctor Who] when I was young because I have two sisters, so we watched Grease, week in, week out," says Corden.
And he reckons another high-school musical phenomenon should be the inspiration for an all-singing, all-dancing episode of Doctor Who.
"A Glee episode of Doctor Who would be amazing. In fact, why haven't they done that? Amy Pond and the Doctor doing Summer Nights would be amazing."
Should Doctor Who get a musical makeover? Vote in our poll below. And read all about Matt Smith and James Corden's bromance in the new issue of Radio Times, on sale now.

Below are just a fraction of the testimonials I've received over the last 9 years. I've worked with over 800 people. Many, many people are thrilled that they tried hypnotherapy. The majority wondered why they waited so long. I was happy to know I helped.
Just wanted to let you know that the trip went amazing! I woke up and I felt really relaxed and I knew it was going to be a good day. When we got to the airport, I was a lot more relaxed and clear headed at the airport and was able to make decisions that saved us from missing our flight that I probably wouldn't have been able to do before. On the way back we experienced a very rough flight with about 20 minutes of bad turbulence where even the flight attendants were not able to walk the plane. On a scale from 1 to 10 during the turbulence I was probably at a four. –M.
Since doing hypnosis, I feel more relaxed on the highway — I feel great, I don't feel nervous. I've also lost 14 lbs., I have more energy and I don't have that craving for alcohol. –D.
I came to hypnotherapy in a 'last ditch' attempt to quit smoking. My personal and professional lives had both undergone a series of disasters …. smoking cessation was a short-term goal I thought I could achieve with help. What I got was much more profound. Hypnotherapy has let me find out who I really am …. my mind was sometimes my worst enemy …. This was a life changing experience for me; a change long overdue. – A.
Number one is that it has helped me get to the bottom of my core frustrations that hinder me today. It has helped me relax and take on issues in a more mature way. It has significantly decreased my chewing [tobacco] so far. It has done wonders for my self-confidence and internal strength. It has been an overall great experience. –C.
I came in to stop smoking and found myself having a much deeper experience that I expected. It was an outstanding journey which led me to complete my goal of quitting smoking. – T.
Hypnotherapy got me off of drugs. I have unloaded thoughts and memories which I have carried around for many years. I find myself at peace and it has enabled me to speak in public and sleep through the night. – Retired Individual, P.
I can't thank you enough for these valuable sessions. Not only have I already exceeded my goal of losing 20 lbs (I have lost 30 lbs in just 8 weeks), but I feel energized and renewed after every session. You have helped me improve my well being both mentally and physically and I look forward to continued success using the methods you have shown me. I am truly blessed to have made this connection. – D.
My main focus was weight loss and to curb my cravings for sugar, along with gaining self-control over food urges. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being best), I would say it is between an 8 – 10 any given day. As time goes on it gets easier to make healthier choices. Other benefits is learning how to put to use everything I have learned prior to attending hypnotherapy. I feel more focused, and self-assured. I have more control over my life or rather my reactions to events in my life. -P.
Working with hypnosis has really allowed me to open up and release a lot of guilt and excess baggage of my past. By doing so, I was able to modulate my voice more when it came to arguing with my husband, it allowed me to let go more when my son decided to move out, and has helped me work on things that have contributed to keeping weight on. It's also helped me relax more, start experiencing life more, and relearn who I am. I still have a way to go, but it's Forward Ho! –L.
I came to the decision to try hypnotherapy because I reached a point with my eating habits that I felt completely defeated and out of control. Since the start of my visits, my ability to respond better to stressful or emotional issues without running to food has greatly improved. I have lost 10 pounds and am more confident with my ability to possibly end my life-long addiction to comfort foods. –J.
I contacted Susan initially to help me with my addiction to food and struggle to control the urge to eat more than should or needed. During our sessions, we uncovered a lot of underlying issues I never would have discovered on my own. In four weeks, I've been able to focus my nutritional choices, avoid making bad choices and have lost 5.5 lbs. I've also been able to better control some jealous tendencies when it comes to my relationship. Both have provided great relief to my internal pain. -C.
I came to Susan to break through my apathy around losing weight and being happy. What I've experienced is a sense of peace and freedom that is deeply internal. I immediately noticed a profound change in my ability to relax – I haven't slept so deeply in a very long time. Also, I feel that I've gained tools that have assisted me with releasing harmful feelings from my past and that I will use going forward on a daily basis. -D.
This has been an amazing experience. I'm very glad I "took the plunge." I've been feeling, on the whole, more calm and peaceful. I didn't think I was particularly agitated person before, but still, I notice a difference. I'm not sure if I've lost any weight yet – I'm not inclined to weight myself just yet – but I feel that I'll now be able to. It does seem that my clothes are a little loser. I look forward to doing more hypnotherapy! – B.
Since I began sessions, I have lost 25 lbs and gained more confidence in myself. I'm in total control of my eating. I have been able to finally deal with issues from the past that had continued to adversely affect my life. The overall results have been putting me back in control and helping me find a new peace. I would do this again. – D.
I tend to be a pessimistic person when it comes to weight loss. Even though I'd lost over 90 pounds in my life, I never saw it as 'good enough'. The best thing I've taken out of hypnotherapy is the ability to acknowledge and truly celebrate my successes. I've begun to feel more positive about weight loss. I view it more as a healthy lifestyle than a diet. Through hypnosis, I worked through a lot of past experiences that were feeding my negative body image. It felt great being able to analyze those experiences in a new light. Because of my hypnotherapy sessions, I have increased my confidence in many areas of my life. I'm very grateful for these sessions and would recommend hypnotherapy to anyone who wants to get more out of life. – S.
I came to Susan for fears/worries, smoking, nail biting and weight loss. In the past month, I've experienced positive changes in all areas. I am losing weight and not biting my nails for the first time in 25 years. I also have learned how to deal with things in a positive way. –Entrepreneur, Anon
Originally I came here to seek out ways to calm fear and anxiety. My biggest fear was the fact that I have to be pepper sprayed for my upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. I was also very stressed about my deployment in general. Since using hypnotherapy, my overall stress has gone down dramatically and my positive attitude has gone way up in all aspects of my life. I feel so much more confident that I can not only handle the pepper spray but also any challenges that I may face in the future. – J.
I originally came to hypnotherapy because I was having fear attacks that were preventing me from scuba diving—something that I loved to do years ago. After only four sessions, I was not only able to work through the fear of diving and get through a refresher scuba course, but I now have techniques for dealing with anxiety in every aspect of my life. My husband has already noticed that I am dealing much better with the overly self-critical messages I have been giving myself for years. –K.
My phobia of vomit was overwhelming and hard to manage in everyday life. Hypnotherapy has helped me recognize my emotions and fears and eliminate my irrational fear of people getting sick around me into almost nothing! My life has improved in an amazing way! –M.
I came to Susan for help with a habit that I had tried on my own to break for years, but I could not. Hypnotherapy has helped immensely. I am calmer, more centered and feel like I have the tools to continue on a healthy, fully actualized path. And that's something I did not get from traditional therapy/counseling.–R.
I started hypnotherapy to find a sense of authenticity, mainly focused on my job. What I have attained is a greater focus and greater confidence in my abilities. After only a few sessions, I am already feeling more comfortable in my position at work and in all my activities. I have also noticed a great reduction in stress and an increased ability to look at situations and issues in my life with a level head. – DotCom Professional, T.
My goals were to improve my physical body, improve my business and have more confidence. I feel I can achieve ALL of these goals! – D.
The benefits I have received are confidence, energy, positivity and less fear. My sleep has been more peaceful and sound which has steered me to become more efficient with my thoughts and actions regarding work, kids and life. –Business Owner, J.
Hypnotherapy has helped me to relax and give myself a break on life and enjoy myself. I understand my fears and how I can better deal with them day to day.– Entrepreneur, M.
I feel stronger and more able to do my job without fear. I am able to voice my opinions and not react from fear. In the area of intimacy, I am feeling more confident and able to ask for what I need and use my voice to share my ideas and interests. – J.
This is the best thing I have ever done. I have grown so much and learned so much about myself that I didn't know. I have a peaceful feeling inside. I feel like I got rid of baggage I was carrying around. I was such a people-pleaser and now I am not anymore. That is an amazing change. I feel free like I'm out of prison. People say that they feel so great after jumping out of a plane parachuting or bungey jumping and I have that feeling after these sessions. I have no regrets, it is the best money I've ever spent. – P.
Hands down this process of hypnotherapy has done more for me in the shortest amount of time I have ever experienced. I have done a great deal of work on myself over the years and yet nothing has ever gotten to the source and changed my life as dramatically as hypnotherapy. Thank you Susan for what you do! -P.
I've tried both traditional therapy and behavior modification therapy. I found the former very valuable, but I don't have time to go to a therapist every week and needed to make changes now. I found behavior modification to help but it didn't address anything underlying, so the pain and unresolved issues were still there. I have found hypnotherapy with Susan to be very effective in changing my behavior, but also incredibly eye-opening in learning things about myself. I finally believe the changes I've sought so long are within my grasp because they've already begun. I'm very grateful and excited to continue on! -B.
Skeptical at first, I believe this is a powerful and effective process for self-improvement. Because of hypnotherapy, I have felt greater confidence and ease with myself. I am more aware of what I am eating and why I am eating. Combined, this greater sense of self and self-awareness will lead me to make healthier choices and live a more balanced life. – M.
The hypnotherapy came as a referral from a friend and the changes I have experienced have been both positive and effective. There were some issues or psychological baggage I had been carrying that I was not aware of and since the beginning of the sessions, I've let go of this baggage in addition to making positive changes personally, emotionally and professionally. Overall, the hypnotherapy has been a positive experience and I have found it to be rewarding. I have always tried to better myself and these sessions have been very helpful.– Anon
Working with Susan was an incredibly fulfilling experience. I came with some rather challenging issues and through working with her, I've been experiencing many positive ways that I can empower myself to address my own problems. I've done hypnotherapy twice in my life and it is an awesome experience! Both times I've learned things about myself in an incredibly relaxed setting. – Anon
I'm feeling so much calmer and happy. My work environment is stressful and I am managing my emotions better, not getting as frustrated or angry. In my personal life, I also feel calm and positive about the future. I am single and feel much more optimistic about the possibility of beginning and staying in a relationship. But, until then, I am content with who I am as a person. -K.
I have taken anger out of my personal relationships and the relationships have become calmer and stronger. I recognize distractions that take me away from the things I really want. I have also become aware of the unintended teachings and habits learned from early life, where actions encouraged unwanted behaviors. –Anon.
I initiated hypnosis because I needed another resource to help me achieve difficult goals. Through the process, I have made tremendous gains and know that I will fully achieve my goals. Even more significant for me, however, is the new awareness of how to more efficiently utilize the energy of my soul to assist my cognition. Life changing! – M.
I feel stronger and more able to do my job without fear. I am able to voice my opinions and not react from fear. In the area of intimacy, I am feeling more confident and able to ask for what I need and use my voice to share my ideas and interests. – J.
I came to Susan because I felt stopped and limited in initiating romantic relationships. I felt exhausted from family conflict affecting me emotionally and mentally. I didn't think I was capable to initiate different money management responsibilities. Working with Susan using hypnotherapy, I deconstructed my fears and inhibitions holding me back and what I was thinking was important in my life. I thought I'd lost my joy in life but I found it again! Now I'm able to manage and move my values and priorities forward with a great sense of accomplishment! It's powerful stuff. – Business Person, D.
With hypnotherapy I have learned to be in better control of my own life. It has helped me better manage my anxiety and fear of school. It has given me a new perspective and a tool I can utilize when times get tough. I have found it easier to sit down and study, getting much more accomplished in shorter time with less worry." – J.
Hypnotherapy has truly changed my purpose, my meaning and my existence. I entered into the sessions wanting to change specific difficulties in my life (i.e. test-taking anxiety), but have felt a change in my core self. I love myself, I love the world, I have been able to let go of negativity I didn't realize I was holding. This experience has been amazingly helpful for me and I would recommend it to anyone! -L.
Working with Susan was an incredibly fulfilling experience. She is excellent at empowering you to recognize areas of improvement within yourself. I came to Susan with some rather challenging issues and through working with her, I've been experiencing many positive ways that I can empower myself to address my own problems. I've done hypnotherapy twice in my life and it is an awesome experience! Both times I've learned things about myself in an incredibly relaxed setting. – Anon
Since my hypnotherapy sessions have begun, I have noticed several unexpected benefits. I was having problems with IBS for several months. I did not tell Susan about this. After my first session, my IBS problems went away. I also had an addiction to playing a certain game on Facebook and after a few weeks of hypnotherapy, the urge to play that game stopped. I now have more time to do things I really enjoy. I also have more of a feeling of peace about life in general and a feeling of peace about my uncle who is dying. –P.
I came to Susan to help manage my chronic pain, build confidence and not worry as much. Ultimately all of these things deprive me of sleep. With hypnotherapy, Susan has given me the tools to fall asleep almost immediately. It happens so fast, I can't remember how fast. I would guess minutes. In the past, it would take 45-60 minutes. If I awakened from pain, it would take an additional hour to fall back asleep. I feel more confident at work and have become much more aware of myself and where my obstacles originated. Susan has helped me remove those obstacles and given me more confidence. I highly recommend hypnotherapy for anybody that wants to improve their life. –Professional, Anon
I came to see Susan for help with my fear of public speaking. The time I've spent with Susan has been wonderful and has taught me to better understand myself as well as the underlying causes of my fears. Since working with Susan, I've become more confident in my ability to speak to people in general, whether in a group setting or one-to-one interactions. I'm looking forward to continue using the hypnotherapeutic techniques that I've learned to improve my speaking performance as well as elevating and improving my overall success in business and my personal interactions with others. –B.
I came to hypnotherapy to try to understand my lifelong doubts and questions about my appearance. I have always thought that people would like or dislike me because of how I looked. I have learned that my appearance is really not a high priority at all. I have carried this fear for many years, but now I feel that people can like me for my inner qualities. With the hypnotherapy, I have been able to put the doubts almost completely out of my thoughts, In fact, it's a faint memory. -A.
After trying different therapies to alleviate my depression after the loss of my husband, I decided as a last resort to try hypnotherapy. I felt so lonely and lost. I wanted to be happier in my new life after losing my old life that I loved so much. Thru hypnotherapy, I have gained more confidence and a sense of well-being. My depression has lifted and I am really starting to work on building a foundation within myself for creating a new life. Susan is a wonderful person; caring and compassionate and she is a wonderful teacher. –M.
I came to Susan to work on grief because my husband passed away 4 years ago. There has been a significant improvement in the quality of my life. I am sleeping better, I have more confidence. I have more peace and less anxiety. My family and close friends feel/sense a difference (I am more like myself.) I am attracting better energy … better friends … more connections, etc. I feel like I'm past the point of being stuck in grief. It feels like such a miracle!–Professional, Anon
Initially, I brought my daughter to see Susan and was so impressed with how she worked with her. My daughter is a teenager, so that can be tricky. Susan was just the right amount of care and concern, plus a real cool way of relating to her that made her feel at ease and that Susan understood her. Through watching my daughter go through the process, I knew that I wanted to do it as well to help myself deal with some of my own issues such as fear, grief and self-criticism. Working with Susan is so comfortable and easy. She is so intelligent and wise but also so down to earth and with a sense of humor. It has truly been a remarkable journey and I'm so thankful that it was Susan I traveled with .–Parent & Education Professional, R.

The first line of business is the development of a Vaccine against Plasmodium vivax malaria.
P. vivax is the most widely distributed human malaria parasite and responsible each year for 100-300 million clinical cases including severe disease and death. Moreover, it is estimated that close to 60 million tourists, business people, military personnel and government employees travel to endemic regions each year. In spite of its Public Health importance and the huge socio-economical lost associated with vivax malaria, vaccine development against this species lags hugely behind that of P. falciparum, the most virulent species inflicting mostly sub-Saharan Africa, As immunity in malaria is species-specific, vaccines against P. falciparum will not be effective against P. vivax
Exosomes are 30-100-nm membrane vesicles formed by endocytosis of segments of the plasma membrane. The internalized segment generates multivesicular bodies (MVBs) containing small vesicles that are released as exosomes following fusion of the MVBs with the plasma membrane. Exosomes were originally described in reticulocytes where they allow remodelling of the plasma membrane in the maturation to erythrocytes by eliminating specific proteins. Remarkably, reticulocytes are the cells preferentially, if not exclusively, invaded by Plasmodium vivax. We thus hypothesized that reticulocyte-derived exosomes (rex) in vivax infections, in addition to their role as cargo-disposable machinery, should contain parasite proteins and that these nanovesicles could be used as novel platform and vaccine against P. vivax.
Proof-of-concept was obtained with a rodent malaria model that infects reticulocytes and in which immunization of animals with rex in combination with CpG conferred full and long-lasting protection to animals upon a lethal challenge (PCT/EP2010/070800).

"The moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point.1" This is how Malcolm Gladwell describes the tipping point. It is the moment when things truly change and return to the prior state becomes hard, or even impossible. Responding to major changes like these tend to drive evolution or revolution. The results can be more volatile than expected and occur more quickly. There have been many compensation-related changes happening over the past couple of decades. I make the case for five elements that may be nearing a tipping point.
1. Pay for Performance.
Pay for performance is incredibly popular right now. I am one of its biggest proponents. But, as the use of P4P rises, so does the lack of verification of effectiveness, structure and communication for these programs. There is real potential for the abject failure of these programs as a whole. P4P is filled with potential risk. Failure will likely be seen in angry employees and struggling companies.
2. Pay Disparity.
It has been almost one hundred years since we have had wealth disparity in the United States like we are currently experiencing. Not all of the disparity is driven by pay, but as the wealth gap has grown, so has the pay gap. We are already seeing attention from the media, scrutiny from the government and discontentment among employees. While the first two get the most attention, it is the employees who will drive the tipping point. Unless they are given some path to correction, they will find a more volatile way to drive change.
3. Retirement Shortfalls.
The way we currently look at retirement has been around for just about the same amount of time as our oldest citizens. These senior people had a lot of help in preparing for retirement and we still have huge problems with poverty among the elderly. It is expensive to be alive. The shortfall between retirement funds versus needs has been well documented. We have built a society where people live a long time and can do so knowing that they are supported by funds that were designated long ago. As retirement funding changes and social security fails to keep up with the cost of living, will we see new "families" where employees spend as much time and effort supporting their parents as they do their children? Can the two-income work structure we have built support this additional need for time and money?
4. Pay Survey Use.
Pay surveys are useful ingredient in delivering proper pay. But, like sugar, overuse can be unhealthy. The flaws of the data and how we use it have been documented for years. Search on the term "survey" on this site and you will see what I mean. Pay surveys help make our decisions "feel" better. Sometimes at the expense of them actually "being" better. Are we prepared for the moment when the overuse of surveys becomes a rallying cry for those people outside of our profession?
5. Equity Compensation.
Many of you know that I believe equity compensation is an incredibly important element of pay. But, like other forms of pay for performance, it has often been used without a thorough understanding of its impact. The growth of equity compensation easily aligns with the growth in executive / employee pay disparity. Pay disparity is itself nearing a potential tipping point. Without thoughtful planning and better use of equity compensation, we may see it disappear like so many other formerly useful pay programs (defined benefit plans anyone?).

Playboy editor cleared
A judge clears Playboy's editor in Indonesia of printing indecent

….The judge hasn't seen the magazine.
..I mean, it ain't the worst by far, but it ain't Reader's Digest

A burden becomes too heavy to carry at times.
It is at those moments that you long for someone who has passed through such trouble to come and be with you. Perhaps speak an encouraging word. For only those who have experienced what you are going through can offer any help.
It is at this point that our burden-bearer stands at life's difficult hours and crossroads. The man who "was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering!"*
Not only does he understand pain and grief, he knows what it is to weep. He knows what it is to carry the greatest burden of mankind–the burden of sin and its accompanying guilt and shame.
The Saviour–the Man Jesus Christ of Nazareth who lived in an earthly home and was a carpenter earning his daily bread. He who was moved with compassion and met the needs of distressed individuals like no other man ever did!
He bled to death on a cross. But now he lives forever more to carry our burdens.
He can help. He is willing to. One cry for mercy from your heart, "O God help me!" is enough for his help to reach you.
He calls you his friend. More than that, he calls you, "My brother, my sister."
He who carried the cross will willingly carry your burden as well. "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."* That is his call and invitation.
Come. Won't you?

* Isaiah 53:3, Matthew 11:28
"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Saviour, who daily bears our burdens" — Psalm 68:19
Because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" — Hebrews 13:5, 6.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9.
"For we do not have a high priest [Jesus] who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." — Hebrews 4:15, 16.

Collective Soul Biography
The Alternative-Rock five-piece band Collective Soul was formed in Stockbridge, Georgia USA, in 1992 by vocalist Ed Roland, lead guitarist Ross Childress, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland, bassist Will Turpin and drummer Shane Evans.
The group soon recorded and released, a year later, their debut album, "Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid", on a small indie label called Rising Storm Records. In late spring 1994 the record crashed into the top 20 of The Billboard 200 chart, upon its re-release by Atlantic Records; the lead single, "Shine", peaked at #1 on the Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and at #5 on The Modern Rock Tracks; it also reached the #11 spot on The Billboard Hot 100 and was followed by another Active Rock top 20 hit: "Breathe". Their debut album was eventually certified double-platinum.
Collective Soul's self-titled second effort arrived in March 1995, despite it missed the top 20 of The Billboard 200, enjoyed a 76-week chart run; that spring they embarked on a major tour supporting Van Halen and the album went triple-platinum, powered by no less than five smash singles: both "December" and the soaring ballad "The World I Know" peaked at #1 on The Mainstream Rock chart, entered the top 10 of The Modern Rock Tracks and climbed into the top 20 of The Billboard Hot 100; "Gel" peaked at #2 and #14 on Active and Modern Rock Tracks charts, respectively; "Smashing Young Man" rose to the #8 slot on The Mainstream Rock list and the final single, "Where The River Flows", became the album's third #1 on the Active Rock chart.
Almost exactly two years later, "Disciplined Breakdown" was released, the 12-song set hit #5 on the Top Canadian Albums chart and peaked at #16 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 list spawning two Mainstream Rock #1 singles: "Listen" and "Precious Declaration", the latter of which reached the #6 position on The Modern Rock Tracks; one further single cut, "Blame", reached #11 on the U.S. Active Rock radio chart.
The quintet scored another Active Rock top 20 hit in 1998 with the song titled "She Said", taken from the soundtrack of the film "Scream 2".
The Georgia rockers' fourth album, 1999's platinum-certified "Dosage", yielded the band's biggest Mainstream Rock hits ever with "Heavy", the single stayed at #1 for an amazing three months and also climbed into the top 5 of The Modern Rock Tracks; the album which was a huge hit in Canada, where debuted at #5, reached the #21 position on The Billboard Top 200 and generated the Mainstream Rock top 10 hit "No More, No Less", the Active Rock top 40 single "Tremble For My Beloved" and the Modern Rock top 40 hit, "Run".
In October 2000 Ed Roland and company released "Blender", this album became their highest chart entry on the Top Canadian Albums list peaking at #3; it reached #22 Stateside while the first single, "Why Pt. 2", shot to #2 on The Mainstream Rock chart and crawled up to #19 on The Modern Rock Tracks; the follow-up single, "Vent", made top 40 on album-Rock radio stations and "Perfect Day" earned substantial airplay on Adult Contemporary stations.
A year later, the band assembled the retrospective compilation "7even Year Itch Greatest Hits 1994-2001" which featured two new songs including "Next Homecoming", the track scraped the lower reaches of the Mainstream Rock top 40 chart.
After a four-year break and a line-up change that saw lead guitarist Joel Kosche replace former member Ross Childress, Collective Soul returned in November 2004 with its sixth studio album, "Youth"; it was released on their own new record label, El Music Group. The CD hit the #3 slot on the Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and reached #66 on The Billboard 200 producing the Mainstream Rock top 10 hit "Counting The Days" as well as two Adult Top 40 smashes: "Better Now" and "How Do You Love?".
The second line-up change occurred when Shane Evans left the band; Ryan
Hoyle took over Evans' drumming duties.
August 2007 saw the release of "Afterwords"; it debuted at #25 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and yielded two Hot Adult Top 40 hits in the shape of "Hollywood" and "All That I Know".
Two years later Collective Soul released its second self-titled album and the band's Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records debut. The disc was recorded at frontman Ed Roland's Lake House studio and was self-produced. The first single off the record was "Staring Down".

I cannot fault their dedication to our ever changing requirements and would recommend them very highly, to any Retailer or Vendor who is seeking a 'Premium Level' of outsourced Field Merchandising, Promoter and Training services.
Snr Retail Channel Manager, TPLINK. Jan 2018
In my time working with them I have been very impressed by their teams and professionalism. They have excellent relationships with the Store Managers and their teams, building staff and customer awareness around our products, and delivering very successful PLC events on our behalf. We face-to-face trained all of their Ambassadors at their training academy and those sessions are full of questions to help them improve the customer experience for AMD.
UK Country Manager Consumer, AMD. Feb 2018
Retail Profiling have been the epitome of professionalism from the start of our relationship. From the senior management to the sales people at the sharp end dealing with our reseller partners.
They continually mirror the level of professionalism we expect in front of our clients and deliver to both the end customer and ourselves in a comprehensive manner.
We fully expect based on what we have seen to date, to realise a substantial growth in our market off the back of your team's interaction and execution with our clients.
