The lives of Henry VIII's queens make for dramatic stories, and Alison Weir writes a series of novels that offer insights into the real lives of the six wives based on extensive research and new theories.
In all the romancing, has anyone regarded the evidence that Anne Boleyn did not love Henry VIII? Or that Prince Arthur, Katherine of Aragon's first husband, who is said to have loved her, in fact cared so little for her that he willed his personal effects to his sister? Or that Henry VIII, an overprotected child and teenager, was prudish when it came to sex? That Jane Seymour, usually portrayed as Henry's one true love, had the makings of a matriarch? There is much to reveal....
Alison writes about the wives in the contexts of their own ages and of the court intrigues that surrounded these women and - without exception - wrecked their lives. She will transport listeners into a lost and vivid world of splendour and brutality: a world in which love, or the game of it, dominates all.

"Stop using Maggie Mash I beg you."
Bookwise I was hoping it was to Alison Weirs usual non-fictional, fact filled novel style of story telling but this is much more of a romantically written (as romantic as it can be for a queen who got dumped) more fictional story. I can forgive this as having actually read the book aswell as listening to it, it flows so well and the story in general is great but I've said it before and sadly having to say it again, Maggie Mash is absolutely dire.
Why, oh WHY does she read characters dialogue so slowly like she's struggling? I know that she isn't as she reads the rest of the book just fine but the dialogue quality is unforgivable. Davina Porter gave an outstanding performance in The Life of Elizabeth the first, as did Simon Prebble and Judith Boyd in other Alison Weir works but sadly this is now the third book by Maggie Mash that's just going to sit in my library and wasting my credits which is such a shame as the authoress has such a knack to tell vivid stories.
"terrible narration"
the characters are meant to be nation influencing minds and characters - but each time the narrator speaks their lines it sounds like some terrible panto
i couldnt listen to it
jimmie krankie would have been better
id really like to get the rest of the series - but please dont use maggie mash again - OR if its the producers fault that it was played like a bad childrens story then dump the producer
Audible addict. Love picking up a new read.......review everything I've listened to on audible.
"The first of what promises to be a great series."
Slow to start, great middle and slower to finish. The novel is written from the perspective of the Queen from her arrival from Spain to marry Prince Arthur until her death. Accordingly her life did not make for such exciting reading throughout, as it does when the Boleyns arrived. I liked however how the novel does include the lesser well known periods of her life; Katherine it would appear truly was a great Queen.
It would be easy to say the Boleyn moments; for me her confinement post Queen Ann on the throne was particularly appauling. I'd previously considered with knowledge of the fate of other wives that Katherine got off lightly. Now I'm not so sure.
The performer grew on me. Her portrayal was "queenly" as suits the novel and other reviews have commented they did not care for the presentation. I was unsure to start with as Katherine is presented in a halting English accent as she is obviously grasping a new language. This took me a while to get used to, but overall I found myself really liking the presentation. I think the whole reading will stay with me for a while, it is certainly powerful.
Ann Boleyn comes across as quite the nasty bitch. Alison Weir says as much in her interviews about the book. The second in the series I am awaiting with eager anticipation! There were sufficient villainous Ann Boleyn moments in this novel to make me long for the next!
"Katherine of Aragon"
Loved this thorough narration of Katherine's life. Alison is an excellent historian but hearing this book read really does draw you into each dramatic chapter. Can't wait for the next book in this series!
"A true queen indeed"
This is my first review so bear with me.....
I was gripped from the first chapter. I love the Tudor history and this hit the nail right on the head. It was extremely informative while pleasantly romanticising the entire life of Katherine. As the title suggests she was indeed a true queen to the end. Her defiance was endearing and the love she bore for Henry was unquestionable. Although it is well written the narrator took a while to grow on me especially with Norfolk sounding exactly the same as Henry in his later years and the Spanish ladies all seemed to have the same tone too.
In summary, a totally thrilling tale with truths, tears and tantrums. Highly recommend and can't wait for the release of the next book (already pre-ordered) Anne Boleyn.
Ive always been fascinated by the Tudors. At first, when I realised there were 35 chapters I wondered if I would last until the end but Alison Weirs superb storytelling kept me enthralled and gave me a much greater insight to why the main characters behaved as they did. Dear Katherine of Aragon what a woman! I cannot wait for the next instalment to be released in audio format.
"A mixture of good historical work & a bad novel"
I do wish some kindly publisher would deter Alison Weir from writing novels! They're all dire and the Maggie Mash narration makes it even worse. I had thought this was a non fiction work when I bought it, but the first part is fictionalised. This bit is pure People's Friend level slush. I had to bail out of her Elizabeth book (the first I tried) after a couple of chapters because the narration made me want to hurl my faithful old Ipod out of the window.
It's not that Weir isn't a fine historian and her non fiction work is great. I found the outline of the lives of the later queens really interesting and that's why I didn't just return this work entirely. Her work on Isabella is one of my favourites and her Katherine Swinton biography is a good long read too.
Gregory et al make free with the historical facts, but that is the art of novelists after all! The ability to write decent fiction of its genre helps a lot and I really enjoy Sansom, Cornwell and Iggulden too. But please, let the excellent Alison Weir stick to her trade!
"brilliant book"
Well written, gripping from the very beginning and read in perfectly spoken English, fabulous author.
dizzy lizzy
"Good book"
very interesting book well researched.I am not of the catholic faith myself but it was interesting to hear from the other side.
This audio book is a really in depth account of Katherine of Aragon. It portrays her life as the tragic victim of circumstance she was, but also illustrates her intellect and desire to be a good queen.
Henry, as always his character is multidimensional and this book gives an insight into his early life and the tragedies that helped shape him.
I disagree with some of the unkind comments made about Maggie's narration. Whilst it is true she does read some dialogue more slowly, this is to add dimension to some of the foreign characters. Her style does not detract from my enjoyment of the book and I have liked other books she has read previously. I look forward to the next five volumes of this series and hope i don't have to wait too long!
The download wasn't the best quality; the dialogue jumps I places and fades in and out occasionally. A good historical fiction book which sticks closely to the known events.
"Live the story"
It's so easy to gloss over the amazing events of Henry VIII's life with a sentence or two. Katherine of Aragon is often dismissed with a few words as Henry's first wife yet she shared more than twenty years with him, had six pregnancies of which only one produced a surviving child, Princess Mary, and she died as a virtual prisoner when he decided to get rid of her to marry Ann Boleyn. In this remarkable book, Alison Weir brings her story to life, through careful research of contemporary sources, so you feel as though you live through the whole saga at Katherine's side. A great addition to her body of historical work and a really engaging audiobook.

Leupold's famous rotary dovetail rings in BOTH front AND rear bases; there's no way a ring can shoot off its base. Ideal for large caliber, heavy kicking rifles that can throw a scope off easily, plus light caliber varmint rifles that need an absolutely rigid scope mount to make full use of the gun's accuracy potential. Dual Dovetail Bases and Rings must be used together; will not interchange with other Leupold rings and bases. Rings and bases sold separately; select the correct base set for your rifle, then choose rings.Those marked "Rev. Frt." have reversible front base to help get correct ring spacing.

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
This takes a picture (with the web cam) every 5 minutes, and send the picture to your e-mail.
Some systems support
mail -a "References: "
so that all video surveillance emails are grouped in a single email thread.
To keep your inbox clean, it is still possible to filter and move to trash video surveillance emails (and restore these emails only if you really get robbed!)
For instance with Gmail, emails sent to [email protected] can be filtered with "Matches: DeliveredTo:[email protected]"
Take a picture from your webcam and save it to a jpeg.
A very slightly modified version of MarxBro's command.
This command takes a 1280x1024 p picture from the webcam.
If prefer it smaller, try changing the -s parameter: qqvga is the tiniest, vga is 640x480, svga is 800x600 and so on.
Get your smile on and press enter! :)
When recording screencast some people like to have the image from their webcam, so the can show something, that can't be seen on the desktop. So starting mplayer with these parameters you will have a window with no frames, borders whatsoever, and selecting the window a hitting the "F" key you will bring it in fullscreen. if you want to position the frame somewhere else, you could play with the --geomeptry option where 100%:100% mean bottom right corner. The HEIGHT and WIDTH can't be changed as you like, since the most webcams support specified dimensions, so you would have to play with it to see what is supported
This directly puts the "mirror" into fullscreen, and lets you take photos by pressing the 's' key. I bet appearance conscious people will have keyboard shortcut for this command by now.
Open a window that displays camera capture.
Framerate, width and height may be changed to match your needs.
Record audio to MP3 stream and video to MPEG-4 stream from webcam to AVI file using mencoder. Gives floating point exception in some mencoder versions.
View webcam output using mplayer, with correct fps and outfmt settings according to my webcam model.
Record from a webcam, audio using ALSA encoded as MP3, video as MPEG-4.
The option -an disables audio recording, -f forces the use of video4linux for the input, -s sets the video to the size 320x240, -b sets the recording bitrate, -r sets the frame rate to 15fps, -i gives the input device, -vcodec sets the output format.
Press Q to stop recording or you can specify the recording time with the -t option like -t 00:1:30
search the newest *.jpg in the directory an make a copy to newest.jpg. Just change the extension to search other files. This is usefull eg. if your webcam saves all pictures in a folder and you like the put the last one on your homepage. This works even in a directory with 10000 pictures.

The Cramer family operates a row crop operation consisting of corn, soybeans, and wheat. They also have livestock consisting of a cow-calf operation.
Kevin Hansen, ag business specialist with the University of Missouri Extension office, stated that this family works hard every day to keep this agriculture industry part of their proud heritage for them and Missouri. John is constantly updating technology to stay ahead of the curve and up to date as the changes in production agriculture occur continually. The family is actively involved within their community and with 4-H and FFA.

Former Newport coach Allan Lewis has signed a three-year deal to become the new director of rugby at Bridgend.
Lewis, who has also served as assistant coach with Llanelli and Wales, has been at the Brewery Field in a caretaker capacity since leaving Rodney Parade.
Lewis said: "Since I have been at Bridgend most of my time has been spent out on the park with the players and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them.
"There are no egos here. It's a great pleasure to work with them. It's important that a club progresses, but you must have goals that are sustainable.
"We need to be continually improving. There's a great bunch of boys here and there are a lot of good youngsters in the area who will come through aswell.
"The talent in the area is phenomenal. we have to put faith in the squad and take one step foward as a time. You have to have long-term objectives rather than trying to get everything done overnight."
Owner Leighton Samuel said, "Allan can bring confidence here. We have quality players but have had a disappointing season. We are attracting new players and Allan will give us stability."

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post as a part of a campaign I'm doing with Verizon FiOS in Philadelphia. #FiOSPhilly
Verizon FiOS has been around for a while, but yet many have been reluctant to make the switch. Why? Probably because we believe the myths that it could be seen as a hassle, more expensive, or even exclusions of Comcast channels! But let me start by saying, ALL of that is wrong!!!! Completely Wrong.
Like everyone else, I originally believed the myths (all of them), until 3 days ago when I decided it was time to make the switch. With only a few days in, I am already excited and happy I made the change. Verizon not only beat my Comcast bill by $5 per month; but they also had a special that gave me a $400 visa gift card for a 2 year agreement. You might be wondering why someone would commit for 2 years when never using the new service. Well, if you do not like the service, cancellation is $10 for each month you have remaining on your contract. So in an absolute worst case you make $160 for your woes.
From 2 days in, I am pretty sure the cancelling option will not be a factor. The experience thus far is really amazing; yesterday, I was able to stream live from my iPhone and FiOS app, the Phillies afternoon game with no issues. Whats even better is that we have a guest bedroom with no cable box, but an Apple TV. Looks like even the guest will have cable as they can Air Play to the Apple TV. I will be sure to continue to document my experiences with FiOS, as I am finally looking forward to watching NFL RedZone all season on mobile.
Stay Tuned!! #FiOSPhilly

Bangladesh's chief selector Akram Khan resigned from his post on Wednesday, citing interference from the country's cricket board president in team selection for the upcoming Asia Cup.
Khan quit a day after Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Mustafa Kamal rejected the inclusion of star opener Tamim Iqbal in the 14-man squad for the one-day tournament starting in Dhaka on Sunday.
"Tamim was in our team because he is one of the best batsmen we have in Bangladesh," Khan, a former national captain, told AFP. "But the president dropped him from the final list.
"His regular interference in team selection has made top players worried about their place in the national squad. I have resigned because I was not enjoying my job."
Tamim, a nephew of Khan, is widely regarded as Bangladesh's best batsman. He won the Wisden Cricketer magazine's Test Player of the Year award in 2010.
Tamim, who turns 23 later this month, has scored 3,115 runs in 109 one-day matches since his debut in 2007. He also has 1,748 Test runs from 24 matches.
But he was stripped of the vice-captaincy after Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe last year, reportedly due to indiscipline and arguments with the team management.
BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus confirmed Khan's resignation. The board president, a ruling party lawmaker, could not be reached for comment as he is away in England.
Khan has been the chief selector of the national team for the last eight months.
The Asia Cup, seen as a symbol of cricket supremacy in the continent, features defending champions India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and hosts Bangladesh.

Boeing Electronic Flight Folder to Be Launched by Qatar Airways
- Qatar Airways 777 fleet first to transmit day-of-flight information directly to Electronic Flight Bag
Qatar Airways will also install the Electronic Flight Folder on their future Boeing 787 fleet, making it the first airline to deploy such advanced operational software on both models. The carrier will begin using Electronic Flight Folder in 2012.
EFF is a software application that runs on an airplane's Electronic Flight Bag, allowing pilots to conduct route briefing and log flight progress directly on the EFB. The suite of EFF applications helps the airline to achieve ground report efficiencies and to reduce or eliminate paper printing, handling and storage costs.
"We are delighted to have Qatar Airways as our launch customer for the Electronic Flight Folder," said Per Noren, vice president of Information Services for Boeing Commercial Aviation Services. "They are an excellent, long-term customer and we are committed to making them even more successful by helping them connect their data and transform it into actionable, real-time information."
"Qatar Airways is pleased to take part in the development and introduction of the EFF across its Boeing fleet," said Ra'ed Ayoub, Qatar Airways vice president, Flight Operations Technical. The airline will continue to work jointly with Boeing to further develop aircraft systems and applications that take advantage of technological innovation to enhance safety and increase operational efficiency.
Boeing received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification for its Class 3 EFB in November 2003, when the first commercial unit was delivered to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Boeing has orders for more than 1500 of their industry-standard EFBs.

Looks Fantastic Lyndsey....although isn't it 'pigs in blankets'? :-)
Thanks 5am Foodie - it's hard when you have traditions that aren't celebrated in the country that you are in. Sorry you missed out but I guess it means you get to look forward to Christmas dinner even more!
Jill - Thanks - did you do anything? I'm actually a bit confused re. the name....!! I thought pigs in blankets with sausages wrapped in pastry but it looks like it maybe applies to both. I think we just always called them Sausages wrapped in bacon but once I introduced them to my Canadian family they were named pigs in pigs! Anyway it's now just stuck but not sure the correct name!!!
Thanks everyone!
It was certainly a Feast with lots of great food, wine and of course family....my kind of holiday! : )
To all of you, I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving, whenever you celebrate it! {And if you haven't tried pigs in pigs - give them a go, before you know they will become a tradition for you too!}

One of the things I have enjoyed since childhood is wantan mee. Wantan mee is a Cantonese noodle dish, served either in soup or dry, and garnished with vegetable (choy sum), roast pork (char siew), and wantan. Wantan is a type of dumpling, usually with minced pork fillings.
I was delighted when recently, I discovered a stall in Seremban serving the most delicious wantan mee! The egg noodles were springy, coated with a sticky sweet sauce and were totally awesome. Even when we tapao (take away) the noodles home to eat, the noodles retain its texture. The wantans are served in a separate bowl with soup. The noodles are best eaten with the sour green chillies.
At other places, my limit is usually 1 portion of noodle but here, I can eat as much as 1 1/2 which equates to a medium portion.
The great thing about the noodles here is that it is homemade by the owner of the stall himself, so no preservative is used. The business is now in its 3rd generation. Both the owner and his son are very friendly folk.
The Unc being adventerous and all, decided to try the curry wantan mee one day. The curry broth was thick and flavoursome, however The Unc still prefers the dry version. The wantan mee is topped with lean chicken breast and tofu puffs.
Another fantastic dish they serve here is the chicken feet in herbal soup. The chicken feet have been deep fried first to make them puffy before being braised in the herbal soup. I like the herbal soup very much, it is warming and very delicious.

The husband and I have had some bad luck with movies over the last few weeks. Here is a list of ones we attempted to watch recently and stopped part-way through:
"Rachel Getting Married"
"Cadillac Records"
"Paul Blart: Mall Cop"
"Tropic Thunder"
Yes, I'm embarrassed about #4. But I included it to show that we really are not movie snobs--while I may love Pedro Almodovar films, I also liked "Old School."
We've been wanting to watch something funny, since we're both battling self-diagnosed cases of Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's been gray and foggy and downright depressing here for days. I'm not kidding when I say that if someone offered one of us a job in L.A., we'd be packed and barreling down the 5 before you could say "Mystic Tan."
On the bright side, crap weather is good for one thing: comfort food. Last night I reprised the pot roast of a few months back. This time our local butcher gave us a slightly different cut of meat than what we have gotten in the past. The husband was the one who picked it up but he couldn't recall what it was, otherwise I would tell you. The recipe calls for "chuck" which is always good for a few laughs in our house at my expense because for some reason, my dad would sometimes call me Chuck when I was little. The husband thinks this is very funny and always wants to know why my dad chose that nickname when it bears no resemblance to my real name. Why? Who knows. Old DJ took that one to the grave.
In any case, it was cut like more of a roast than a slab. Stop me if I'm getting too technical here. Along with lots of wine, I added spring onions from our produce box, plus carrots and peas, and served it over buttered noodles. It turned out pretty well and I'm pleased to say momentarily lifted us from our bad-movie-bleak-weather funk.

May 24, 2013 9:59:17 AM
STARKVILLE -- Steven Bench wasn't lying when he said he didn't plan to transfer to a school to sit on the bench.
Bench, who announced earlier this month he planned to transfer from Penn State University, confirmed Thursday morning on Twitter he will attend the University of South Florida in the fall.
"I've decided to attend the University of South Florida and become a bull," Bench tweeted.
Bench's announcement came less than two days after he visited Mississippi State University for two days. Bench won't start classes at USF until July 1. However, according to the Tampa Bay Times, he plans to move to Tampa in the "next week or two" to start learning the offense.
In the phone interview with Bench last week, the quarterback said MSU's main selling point was the relationship he had with the program and the staff.
"They recruited me out of high school, and I went to their camps to show them my skill set," Bench said. "With Mississippi State, there's no mystery here. They've seen me work, they've spoken to me before and they know what I'm about on and off the field as a person."
Bench's decision leaves the Bulldogs with four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster (returning starter Tyler Russell, redshirt sophomore Dak Prescott, and freshman signees in Cord Sandberg and Damian Williams). Sandberg's stock in the upcoming Major League Baseball draft in June continues to rise. Baseball America has the high school senior ranked No. 40 on its Top 100 draft eligible list.
USF, which is coming off a 3-9 season, is expected to allow Bench to compete with third-year sophomore Matt Floyd for the starting quarterback position. The Bulls hired Willie Taggart from Western Kentucky University to replace Skip Holtz in the offseason.
"I want a shot to compete for playing time wherever I go to school next," Bench said last week. "I want a fair opportunity to earn playing time. If we were to take the academics out of the equation and talk about on the field, I'm going to my new school to play football. Not watch football being played."
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Bench appeared in two games for the Nittany Lions last season, completing 2 of 8 passes for 12 yards. The Cairo, Ga., native was a three-star recruit out of high school. NCAA sanctions against Penn State allow transfers to play immediately. Bench will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Bench said he decided to leave Penn State because he believed junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson and incoming freshman recruit Christian Hackenberg would compete for the starting quarterback role in fall camp. Ferguson and Bench split first-team repetitions in spring practice last month.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 Digital Camera with 14-42 mm lens
- Average rating of 4.0 stars from 29 reviews.
- Released 7 years 2 months ago (Mar 2010).
-781900534, 781900528
In March 2010, Panasonic presented an addition to their extensive line of compact cameras: the LUMIX G2. This report will cover the prime attributes that Panasonic has loaded in this compact. We then integrate several reviews from around 33 different digital camera expert sites including Imaging Resource, CNet, Good Gear Guide and more. Further we analyze the competitive landscape and offer you some buying advice.
As the LUMIX G1 has broken ground when it pioneered the Micro Four Thirds platform, Panasonic introduces yet another breakthrough with the LUMIX G2. It's touted as the world's first digital interchangeable lens system camera with an adjustable LCD in full touch-screen technology. The touch panel display is claimed to allow faster and easier navigation and operation. Whether shooting a scene or reviewing stored images, Panasonic guarantees full execution of commands just by quick and simple touches on its 3.0-inch 460k-resolution monitor. And what's more is that this LCD can be rotated at 180 degrees, widening the user's view range.
Besides that, the LUMIX G2 also boasts a High-Definition Video System that records 1280 x 720 movie clips in a convenient AVCHD Lite format. It's not only the resolution that is claimed to be of superb quality but the audio as well, which is boosted by the built-in Dolby Digital Creator. Shooting in windy conditions where the air creates unnecessary noise wouldn't be a nuisance with the LUMIX G2 as it possesses the Wind Cut Function to address that problem.
This compact camera also features the following:
1. LUMIX G VARIO ASPH/MEGA O.I.S. lens with a zoom range of 14-42 mm
2. Venus Engine HD II, innovated to support Intelligent Resolution technology which ensures effective blur and noise reduction and utmost sharpness of images
3. "P" Mode for an enhanced video effect and "My Color" mode that consists of presets: Silhouette, Expressive, Elegant, Monochrome, Pure, Retro and Dynamic Art
4. Dust Reduction System which has, at its core, a supersonic wave filter to prevent dust accumulation in the lens that blemishes photos.
5. PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 HD Edition software for organization of image files and an integrated YouTube uploader
Most experts remarked about the excellent quality of images captured by the LUMIX G2, mainly underlining the accuracy of colors, exposure and details. However, some declared that image quality varies in different ISO settings. 'Imaging Resource' asserts that at an ISO of 6400, colors are smudged by noise. Similarly, based on CNet and Consumer Search's observations, images are grainier from mid to high ISO settings.
The LUMIX G2's video function was received positively by reviewers. They have all claimed that the videos recorded were crisp and sharp and truly defined. 'Hardware Zone' points out that it has a significant feature that DSLR video cameras lack: active auto-focus during video recording.
The G2's lens performance was heavily lauded by the reviews, as they've commented that the LUMIX G2 has an intelligent focusing system. Much praise was given to its electronic viewfinder (EVF), especially with regards to its sharpness. 'Digital Camera Review' made mention that the EVF is instantly activated upon positioning the camera to eye level. However, 'Dpexpert' remarked otherwise, pointing that the EVF's performance cannot parallel that of the typical SLR.
While the focusing system itself was deemed commendable by experts, its integration into the camera's touchpanel monitor was viewed as a problem.
According to majority of the reviews, the LUMIX G2's operation is made easy and simple through its touch screen technology. 'Good Gear Guide' commented that manual focusing is simpler on the LCD touch panel. Dedicated buttons for chief camera functions are readily available upon user preference. 'DCRP' and 'PC World' stressed though that those with large fingers wouldn't share the same convenience.
Simply put, the LUMIX G3's battery life is claimed to be fairly adequate by most of the reviewers.
Experts have found that noise is increased in images captured at high ISOs, most noticeably at ISOs greater than 400 and especially at 3200, as observed by 'Photo review' and 'Good Gear Guide.'
After rounding up all significant reviews, it can be attested that Panasonic has indeed made substantial improvements over the Panasonic G1 with the Panasonic G2.
The great photo quality mainly due to images' remarkable color fidelity and detail precision combined with the built-in EVF and the versatile articulating touch-screen makes it a very compelling choice.
The Lumix G2, albeit a bit pricey like other Micro Four Thirds, fits a very sweet spot for the discerning enthusiast photographer looking for a great quality yet easy to lug around photography solution.
One option to definitely check out is the Sony NEX-5 which is claimed to produce sharp, noise-free photos even at high ISO sensitivities.
The other contenders in the interchangeable-lens-but-compact space include the Pentax K-x, Samsung NX10 and the Nikon D5000.

Taipei Medical University Hospital was established in 1976. Its outpatient services started on August 6th of the same year and provided medical care to the Eastern Taipei community. After years of steady growth in the number of patients, a second medical building was constructed in 1994 while the original building went through significant renovation. TMUH played an important role in servicing the eastern Taipei of the city with its modernized technology and 500 beds.The outstanding quality of the hospital was best exemplified when it was given the ISO-9002 certification in 1989, and when it was recognized as a Class I Teaching Hospital under the category of Regional Hospital by the Department of Health in the following year. In 2007, the Board of Trustees at TMUH decided to continue the hospital's mission of advancing medical knowledge by building the third medical service building the third medical building. The building features 14 floors above ground, 3 floors below ground, a land area of 4300 square meters, and a floor area of 56,200 square meters. Today, TMUH's scale of 759 beds provide patients a complete, exceptional, and safe healthcare environment, and lives up to the promise that people are the priority and that the population can rely on its holistic services.

- insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity To determine whether ALA ameliorates or prevents impairment of insulin secretion and insulin sensi [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
- To determine the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of lipotoxicity [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 15 |
Study Start Date: | February 2010 |
Study Completion Date: | June 2011 |
Primary Completion Date: | January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: alpha lipoic acid |
Drug: alpha lipoic acid
A 2 week treatment period with either oral ALA tablets or placebo tablets, followed by 30 hour hospital stay to infuse lipid or saline and to test insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. For two weeks prior to each admission to hospital and during each hospital admission subjects will ingest 3 tablets 2 times per day with breakfast and supper, 1800mg per day
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring dithiol compound absorbed intact from dietary sources and synthesized enzymatically in the mitochondrion from octanoic acid. It serves a critical role in mitochondrial energy metabolism and is a potent biological antioxidant. It is widely available as an over-the-counter health supplement. It has generated considerable interest among the lay public and the research community for the use of ALA as a nutritive supplement and as a pharmacotherapy for diabetes and many other disorders. There is growing evidence that ALA has beneficial effects on the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and some of its complications. It represents an attractive pharmacological target in the treatment of T2DM by modulating the signal transduction pathways in insulin resistance and antagonizing the oxidative and inflammatory stresses, which are major pathways in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Chronic elevation of plasma FFAs are believed to contribute to insulin resistance and defects in insulin secretion by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation. A potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger, ALA also targets cellular signal transduction pathways, which increases glucose uptake and utilization, thus providing specific targeted therapy in the treatment of insulin resistance. ALA has been shown to be safe when taken in high doses (2400mg/d) for prolonged time periods (6 months and longer), even in patients with renal and liver failure. In fact no upper limit for ALA consumption in humans has been established.
- Each subject will undergo 4 studies, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Each study will consist of a 2 week treatment period with either oral ALA tablets or placebo tablets, followed by 30 hour hospital stay to infuse lipid or saline and to test insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.
- The study will be conducted as a single blind study, with the subject not knowing whether they are receiving a placebo or ALA. For safety reasons and since it will not influence the results of this study it will not be conducted as a double blind study.
- On each of four occasions, 4 weeks apart, after taking the tablets for 2 weeks, the subject will fast overnight for 12-hours prior to their admission to the Toronto General Hospital metabolic research ward for 30 hours to undergo testing as follows. The four studies will be conducted in random order:

A Missing Piece to the Puzzle? Crawlspace by Sarah Graves
During the week I've been listening to audio books while I was scanning photos for our high school reunion memory book. I really enjoy Sarah Grave's Home Repair is Homicide series set in Eastport Maine, so I settled in to listen to this one. It was a bit scary for me since it involves people being trapped in small dark spaces, and I'm extremely claustrophobic, but it's still well done enough and just cozy enough that one knows it will all work out in the end, so I soldiered on. Sarah Graves not only knows her old houses, she is also well-versed in boating, tides, and off-shores islands.
HOWEVER,.....there is one small item that doesn't make sense to me, and I had to go get a print copy to make sure I hadn't missed something while I was listening to this. In fact, one of my on line fellow Mainers over on LibraryThing, looked it up for me and reported that yep! There is a huge discrepancy about the rescue of one of the characters who is captured and restrained by the bad guys. I really can't go into it without posting a HUGE spoiler and I don't want to do that, but Sarah Graves, if you're listening, could you post a comment on how I can ask you what happened?
Title: Crawlspace
Author: Sarah Graves
Publisher: Bantam -hardcover, 288 pages, 2009: Audio - Audio Go
Genre: Cozy mystery, amateur sleuth
Subject: psychotic killlers
Setting: Eastport Maine
Series: Home Repair is Homicide Mysteries

Why did I read this book now? I am a fan of this series and was in the mood for a cozy.

Pssst – Hey Buddy, Wanna Buy Some Data?
The economy of cyber crime is all too real – and too enticing. No longer sequestered to dark alleys and seedy bars, data thieves have almost unlimited options to market their ill-gotten wares to potential buyers. What this means to employers and organizations: The temptation to access and 'appropriate' sensitive data may be too great for some to resist.
So just how difficult is it for cybercriminals to sell data? Shockingly easy.
Although the sale of stolen information often takes place completely underground in secret, closed to the public credit forums, people who want to join these groups can locate them quite easily. Once vetted by forum administrators, to ensure they are not from law enforcement, they are invited into the network to market and distribute their wares.
And individuals need not even proactively seek out to divest an employer of sensitive, valuable data. Today recruiters actively target individuals with local or specific data types – going so far as to even create job postings with criteria like 'an established relationship with local banks' as a prerequisite for crime family consideration.
The ease in which individuals can locate black market buyers of data should scare every employer who provides mid- to low-level access to any type of sensitive information. Like some bizarro-world eBay, many of these markets actually have incentive packages. Competing prices, additional services, free trials, money-back guarantees and terms and conditions are all offered. Prices for data are qualified like any other commodity: Data is priced based on the domain, if the account belongs to a real person and how popular it is. It can depend on the number of followers, how commercial the niche is and if the data is real or bot-generated. Prices for online banking and payment systems dependent on account verification:
To make matters worse, the cyber-crime black market, which has traditionally centered on distributing bank and credit card details stolen from users around the world, has diversified its business model since 2010, and now sells a much broader range of hacked confidential information including bank credentials, log-ins, passwords, fake credit cards and more.
So, while chief security officers struggle to combat an ever-evolving crime organization that morphs and changes in a nanosecond, it may be the guy in the cube next to you that is seeking to supplement his bank account that could exact the most damage to your database.

FIFA may abolish extra time at the World Cup with drawn knockout matches going straight to penalties, the federation's president Sepp Blatter said Thursday.
Blatter said in an interview with FIFA's web site (www.fifa.com) that too many teams had played defensively at the World Cup in South Africa and soccer's governing body would look at ways of encouraging more attacking tactics.
"We plan to take the opportunity to look at the concept of extra time," said Blatter, whose remarks differed slightly from an interview he gave to the German magazine Focus last month when he said penalty shootouts could even be used after drawn group matches.
"Often we see teams set themselves up even more defensively in extra time, in an attempt to avoid conceding a goal at all costs.
"To prevent this, we could go directly to a penalty shootout at full time, or reintroduce the golden goal rule. We'll see what emerges from the committee meetings."
Blatter did not discuss penalty shootouts themselves, which many feel are a lottery and devalue the sport, leaving a lasting stigma on the player who misses the decisive kick.
FIFA has so far declined to consider alternatives to shootouts, such as using the corner count to decide drawn matches and reducing the number of players on the field in extra time to open up the game.
The golden goal rule, in which the first goal to be scored in extra time won the match, was used at the 1996 and 2000 European championships and the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.
Intended to encourage attacking play, it turned out to be counter-productive as the fear of conceding a decisive goal prompted teams to use blanket defence.
At Euro 2004, the silver goal was used in which, if a team was leading at end of the first period of extra time, they would win the game. Otherwise the match would continue until the end of the second period.
It was used when a Traianos Dellas header in the first-half of extra time gave Greece a 1-0 win over Czech Republic in the semi-final.
Since then, football has reverted to using the traditional extra-time system in all major international championships, although in South America's Copa Libertadores and Copa America, it is generally not played.
In those tournaments, the possibility of having to play only 90 minutes rather than 120 to get to penalties results in even more defensive tactics.
Blatter said he was not impressed with the opening games in South Africa where the first 16 matches produced only 25 goals and included six draws, two of them goalless.
"In the first few matches of the group stage in South Africa, we witnessed some teams that went out to avoid defeat, that were playing for a draw from the outset," he said.
"This is a topic that I would like to discuss at upcoming football and technical committee meetings. We have to try to find a way to encourage free-flowing football in tournaments like the World Cup, with teams playing to win."

Willing To Be Disturbed
Last night, I dreamed I was removing a bee's stinger from my flesh. Slowly, carefully . . . Taking my own sweet time to deal with the irritant.
16 comments:
After spending the night in ER with my mom, this is so apropos... but maybe question should be phrased as how am I with disturbances... More than how willing am I to be disturbed, perhaps more apt is can I be at ease with whatever disturbances arise - to embrace them with grace, ease, compassion and equanimity - so that they are not seen as disturbances, but just what's arising in this moment. Can I embrace just this?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how your posts always remind me of something I'm working on or dealing with. I have been working on updating my 'about' page to hopefully more clarify what I'm writing about. At any rate, I included a poem by Rumi that gets to your question above on willingness to be disturbed. I think every stranger that knocks on our door needs to be welcomed in a loving and compassionate way...the happiness, the anger, the sadness, the guilt, the proudness, the jealousy, the pain....they are all wonderful teachers!
ReplyDeleteOh! Yes, the famous Rumi poem. One of my favorites, and also one I have heard often, from various Dharma teachers:
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.Having lived through major disturbances like cancer and divorce and minor ones like loosing your wallet or keys and all other disturbances in between I reminded of something I learned from an old Lama once.
All these disturbances are teachings from our inner or outer Guru /Teacher.The teachings(disturbances) will continue to come moment after moment.
The question is: What am "I", the student, prepared and capable of learning from them
?Marguerite, your timing is impeccable. I have been pondering this for quite some time. Is the annoyance actually quite benign as compared to the damage from upheaval, the pain, the anger, the negativity, anxiety, fear and so on that come all too often post the event. It can be just one word and we may never converse again. What a pity if we consider that it may be our last. Yes, all this is a teacher but only once the observer has observed and wisdom has arisen.
For me, the reaction comes ever so fast and ever so strong that not always am I able to stop my self and let the energy disperse. Either way wisdom comes not long there after.
With gratitude. May peace and wisdom reign within. MiroI have found it useful to displace the 'annoyed' thoughts with loving ones. It helps stop the annoyance somewhat. Most of the times . . . I may be annoyed still, but it gets dispersed in the loving kindness, and goes away, eventually. I started this practice after enough time of not liking the way unchecked annoyance felt inside, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Quite a selfish practice, really! :)
