"…results of a new study [by Univision] called "Why Latinos Look So Good"…revealed [that] 34% of Latino men shower twice a day vs. 16% of non-Latino men. Now, that statistic can be partly explained by the fact that Latinos predominantly live in warmer areas of the country (mainly the South and Southwest) or that their line of work may require a second shower in a day. But who cares why? All I hear is ka-ching! Calling all marketers of soap, body wash, deodorant, body lotion, after-shave, face cream, etc… " – Chiqui Cartagena
My husband, Carlos, takes at least two showers a day – sometimes three, even in the winter time and even on weekends when he hasn't gone to work. Our older son is the same… our youngest son is another story. He forgets to shower if we don't remind him, but I think he's just being a typical little boy at this point.
Carlos is also obsessive about his teeth. He's a dental hygienist's dream-come-true. Who else can honestly answer "yes" to the dreaded question, "Do you remember to floss daily?" – (Carlos does!) … The products he requires for regular maintenance may even out number mine; Soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, deodorant, body spray, body lotion, eye drops, hair gel, face lotion, foot cream, toothpaste, mouthwash… believe it or not, the list goes on.
When women have complained to me in the past about how their husbands leave stinky socks lying around and such, I never knew how to respond. "Don't you hate that?" they'd say – but I'm more likely to leave a pile of dirty laundry on the floor than Carlos is. His side of the closet? Neat and tidy – Even his T-shirts are on hangars. My side of the closet? A complete disaster – piles of clothing, not even folded properly. It's the same story with shoes. Carlos has sneakers which are many years old but look brand new. He can't understand how I manage to beat my shoes up the way I do… (I'm not so sure either to be honest.)
Carlos's cleanliness extends beyond the home and to his vehicle. It may be the last $5 he has in his pocket, but if his car looks dirty, he brings it to the car wash. I remember when the kids were little they were scared to drop so much as a Cheerio in Daddy's car. (My car on the other hand, probably still has a Cheerio or two crushed into the carpet from their toddler days. My kids are 12 and 9, by the way.)
Over the years I decided that maybe because Carlos came from an impoverished childhood, he just values his belongings more than I do. I also decided that he is just a perfectionist, which has its benefits. (Though the disadvantage is when he tries to force his standards of perfection on very imperfect, laid-back me!)
Now that I come upon this study, I wonder, is this obsessive grooming/cleanliness a Latino male thing? Is it cultural? What do you think?

It's late October, and while the bros at Wonder Bar were busy bumping club mixes of Selena Gomez, we were in the laboratory stitching together a more seasonal soundtrack to the spookiest time of the year. The result? The GREATEST GOTH SONGS OF ALL TIME, featuring 100 atmospheric tracks drenched in gloomy glory and jet-black angst. PETER MURPHY, who shows up on the list six times (including the top spot for Bauhaus' anthemic "Bela Lugosi's Dead"), gave us an exclusive interview in this week's issue, and he reconnects with us on Halloween night when he phones into WFNX (101.7 fm/ wfnx.com).
From 8 to midnight -- that good ol' witching hour -- Phoenix music editor Michael Marotta and contributor Michael Christopher crash the studio and spin the goth-rock hits and near misses from the #goth100, and Murphy himself, a/k/a the "Godfather of Goth," is slated to phone in a cameo around 10pm. It's one creep-show you really don't want to miss, and it doesn't get more Halloween than that.
To help set the mood, we've also put together a chilling Spotify playlist to commemorate the occasion, featuring 100 songs about love and death and Transylvanian concubines, most of which hover somewhere between dark and jangly post-punk, nightmarish electro-pop, and mind-bending industrial weirdness. So check out our scientifically-calculated countdown (compiled by a crack team of lost souls) and listen along on Spotify, because it's 2011 goddamn-it, and that's what we do.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|thanks for the help. i know what ponds you are talking about and they are right in my backyard. looking forward to trying them out.
The ponds on the Marriott golf course at St.Kitts are full of tarpon and they are willing takers on many patterns but I had the best luck with a large shrimp pattern I designed for winter steelhead in the pacific northwest believe it or not.
It's essentially a GP variant tied in orange. They responded to other flies but attacked this with abandon, repeatedly if they missed it the first swipe.
As important as the appeal is the ability to withstand the rock jaws and penetrate the tiny seams and cracks in their armour mouth.
Luckily I had a couple of these flies tied on heavy irons, other flies I tried were opened straight on the first jump.
Also I ended up cutting back the leader until I must have been fishing 40# tippet and these were 20-40 pound fish with one in the 60's that I had no prayer of landing.
I jumped 11 and landed two.
Help with Saltwater pond flies
I live in St Kitts and haven't really been able to find any good flats to fish for Bones but recently ran across a murky saltwater pond alive with all kinds of activity. We've recently caught a Tarpon, couple Snook, and a Permit there all on the same tan EP minnow but haven't had much luck since. I was wondering if anyone out there has fished a similar place to this and could offer any fly advice. I've heard from the locals that this pond used to be stocked with the fish above and everything in there hasn't been fished in some time. Thanks for any help.

text: Your odds of getting a nice hunting dog are excellent,,,but sometimes the mix of genes produces a pet or less than pet. I have been privy to a few of these over the years. One was a well known litter with multiple fc's in it. and others were just really nice breedings where one of the pups lacked drive or didn't have a conducive temperament for trainingI understand the odds of having a dog not make the grade to make it to that level in FT/HT. Can the average guy pretty much expect a decent hunting dog(with the proper training of course) as long as he is getting a pup with alot of FC in his background. I would suspect the odds are pretty high

I think that the shunt resistor is just a waste of energy
negative charged electrons move toward the positive
Thanks for the reply.My understanding is that the MOSFET has to go on the positive side, to avoid leaving the electronics "hot". That's why I was considering a P channel. At home I have some IRF540, that are N-channel power MOSFETs.
@ fungus And your power loss is more with the P channel then the N channel.

Beauty, grandeur, and inspired design combined with the painstaking gardening of generations create the unique atmosphere of the Bahai shrine and gardens in Haifa. This is the site where members of the Bahai faith have established their shrine and world center because of its significance to the Bahai faith.
The Bahai faith had its origins in the in Iran, where its followers severed themselves from the existing Moslem Shi'ite faith. Its founder, Baha'u'llah, was exiled from his homeland at the end of the 19th century, and came to Akko (Acre) and Haifa after suffering persecution in neighboring Moslem countries. He was impressed with the beauty of Mount Carmel and expressed the desire that the Bab, the forerunner of the faith, would be buried there. About 20 years later the bones of the Bab were interred in Haifa on the site that then developed into the center for the Bahai faith.
The shrine, with its golden dome, Italian marble walls, and granite pillars, was built in 1953 and has become one of the major tourist sites in Haifa. Its 40-meter high dome is covered with 14,000 gold-coated bricks. The shrine has nine sides representing the nine major religions of the world. It is surrounded by several other unique buildings, including the Universal House of Justice - the seat of the nine members of the high Bahai council, and the building that houses the archives of the Bahai faith.
The impressive gardens surrounding the shrine were designed and inspired by the doctrines of the Bahai faith. They succeed in blending in and creating harmony with the surrounding slopes of Mount Carmel. The gardens extend over 19 terraces, the highest of which contains the Persian Gardens, with their topiary sculpted into eight-pointed stars. Stone steps lead down the slope to the breathtaking Hanging Gardens below. The gardens are designed in nine concentric circles that look like waves extending out from the shrine at their center. The gardens combine works of stone and metal as well as fountains, shrubbery, and expansive lawns. The main path is surrounded along its entire length by colorful well-kept gardens that blend in with the natural flora and enliven the surrounding panorama of the mountainside while creating a small nature reserve. The garden has earned the name "The Eighth Wonder of the World" and its beauty offers visitors a feeling of calm and enchantment during the day, while special lighting converts the garden to a romantic quite place at night.
Other beautiful Bahai gardens surround the grave of Baha'u'llah just north of Ako (Acre). These gardens are called the Al Bahaja and are the most holy site for members of the Bahai faith. The beautiful, well tended gardens are built in the form of a large circle divided into four segments with lawns, citrus groves, topiary and flowers.
On July 2008, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee added the Baha'i Shrines and Gardens in Haifa and Acre to the eleven World Heritage Sites in Israel. The resting places of the faith's founding fathers Baha'u'llah and the Bab, they represent the first World Heritage sites connected with a religious tradition born in modern times. The elaborate landscaped gardens and shrines are a site of annual pilgrimage, not only for the 5 million-strong Baha'i faithful, but also for hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world.
The Bahai Gardens:
Haifa: Entrance from Shderot HaTzionut, Yafe Nof and Shderot Ben Gurion
Ako: The Al Bahaja Gardens
Opposite Bustan HaGalil

Tasty dinner ready in 20 minutes! Combine tuna and other veggies folded in shoestring potatoes to make this crunchy dish.
Jicama is a large bulb-shaped root vegetable native to Mexico and South America. Underneath its thin dry brown skin, jicama's color and texture is somewhere between that of a crisp apple and a water chestnut. With its mildly sweet flavor and crunch, it works like celery iin salads, sandwich fillings and soups.
To reduce the fat in each serving of this tuna salad by about 19 grams, use fat-free ranch salad dressing.
To save prep work and time, pick up a bag of coarsely shredded carrots from the produce department of the grocery store.

Family: Scolopacidae, Sandpipers view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has gray-brown, almost silvery looking, upperparts with dark centers to some back feathers. Neck and chest are streaked, but underparts are otherwise white. ADULT winter Has grayish upperparts and white underparts. JUVENILE Has scaly-looking back (feathers have dark centers and pale margins) and buffy wash to face, neck, and chest; note the fairly well-defined pectoral cut-off between streaked brown chest and otherwise white underparts. Indistinct pale supercilium is most obvious in front of eye.
Dimensions Length: 7 1/2" (19 cm)
Habitat Common breeding species on dry tundra in high Arctic. Most birds have an inland migration route across the plains, and pause only briefly before flying to South America where they winter. Consequently, for such a relatively common breeding species, it is tricky to find on migration.
Observation Tips Migrants often favor dry, short grassland and the best chances for observation come by searching suitable habitats on Gulf coast, Apr-May and Aug-Sep. Juveniles occasionally turn up on East Coast in fall, usually favoring short grass habitats but sometimes the margins of drying pools and mudflats.
Range Eastern Canada, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Alaska, Great Lakes, Southwest, New England, Northwest, Western Canada, Texas, Southeast, California, Plains, Rocky Mountains
Voice A trilling prrrp.
Discussion Another long-distance migrant shorebird whose wings extend beyond its tail at rest. This feature gives it a "long-bodied" appearance and allows for confusion with White-rumped Sandpiper. Distinguished from this species by the absence of a white rump, but note also the uniformly dark, tapering, and straight bill (no orange base to lower mandible). Sexes are similar.

Since its beginnings, rap music has tackled the social issues in the cities that gave rise to the musical form. For instance – "The Message," from Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five in 1982.
"Broken glass everywhere. People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care. I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise. Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice."
Nearly 30 years later, garbage, pollution, and unemployment are still part of rap's message and that's given rise to a small but growing genre of Green Hip Hop. Living on Earth and Planet Harmony's Ike Sriskandarajah reports.
[MUSIC]: Young Jeezy "My President" from the Recession (Def Jam records 2008).
SRISKANDARAJAH: Young Jeezy and Nas wrote one of the most recognizable hip-hop anthems of 2008.
SONG: My president is black my lambo's blue and I'll be goddamned if my rims ain't too.
SRISKANDARAJAH: The election of president of Barack Obama is still being celebrated by hip-hop artists- now- it's a different color getting the praise.
[MUSIC]: Doo Dat "The Dream Reborn (My President Is Green) Self Produced
SONG: My President is black, but he's going green. My president is black, but he's going green.
SRISKANDARAJAH: Ayana Meade is an environmental writer researching the growing trend of green hip-hop.
MEADE: Yeah, it's a small genre. You may not hear it on some of the pop radio stations in New York that play hip-hop, you know your 97.1's or on your BET's. But, there are a few people who, I don't know if they exclusively rap about green issues, but they exist.
SRISKANDARAJAH: So, who do you see taking up this 'green lantern'?
MEADE: Markese Bryant is definitely a star already. He organizes on his campus and his community teaching other young folks about green issues. And then, of course, he moonlights also as a rapper, and his stage name is DooDat, which we probably all should do, you know, DooDat- DooDat with the green movement.
[MUSIC]: Doo Dat "The Dream Reborn (My President Is Green) Self Produced.
SONG: … Doo Dat got a message for the hood. It's time to go green, we gotta go green The food ain't fresh and the air ain't clean…
SRISKANDARAJAH: Markese Doo Dat Bryant, has made a name for himself as a green rapper. But he isn't thrilled with the label.
BRYANT: Actually, actually no. I consider myself to be a rapper that just happens to be an eco-conscious individual
SRISKANDARAJAH: He's an Oakland native. But his ecological awakening came while he was living in Vallejo.
BRYANT: And while I was staying in Vallejo, California, we stayed right next to a Chevron refinery. And, so, as far as the fumes, it actually contributes to the asthma rates in the community. And, I just felt that it was very important to speak on it, because a lot of us, especially in the hood, really don't even understand where our electricity is coming from.
SONG: …In my backyard…The refinery. Something like my neighbors ain't doin' me no favors…. We need green jobs, we don't need no jails…
SRISKANDARAJAH: So how is your song received by people in your community?
BRYANT: It was well received. It was very funny though, because I actually shot that video right in the hood, right on the block, everybody was excited, and then once the song started coming on, and I was talking about, 'it's time to go green, it's time to go green,' you know, I got a few looks, like, OK, what is he talking about?
SRISKANDARAJAH: Markese may draw some funny looks. But he's hardly alone. Eco conscious songs have slowly been making headway.
[MUSIC]: Dr Octogon "Trees" from The Return Of Dr. Octogon (CMH Records 2006).
SRISKANDARAJAH: From Dr Octagon AKA Kool Keith lamenting the loss of Trees…
SRISKANDARAJAH: To the Trunk Boiz promotion of tricked out bicycles on Scraper Bike…
[MUSIC]: Trunk Boiz "Scraper Bike" Self Produced.
SONG: …My scraper bike go hard, I don't need no car…
SRISKANDARAJAH: And then there's the Dead Prez fitness plan – Be Healthy
[MUSIC]: Dead Prez "Be Healthy" from Lets Get Free (Relativity 2000).
SONG: I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets, only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat…
SRISKANDARAJAH: These rappers and their environmentally minded tracks have won praise from fans and activist groups. The Bay Area's Green for All and Grind for the Green and DC's Hip Hop Caucus have started using rap as a vehicle for their green message. And, one of the most popular performers of the year, Drake, even signed on to the Green the Block tour. But environmental writer, Ayana Meade says there's still a long way to go.
MEADE: The green rap genre is still under the underground.
SRISKANDARAJAH: So if we're looking back at hip hop history, Chuck D calls rap music the black CNN. Do you think rappers like Markese are bringing news to their communities?
MEADE: Information about the green movement is not information that a lot of these young people in urban communities are not aware of.
[MUSIC]: Dan Mahle "A Better World" from the Green For All Song Contest.
MEADE: Hip Hop really needs to embrace the green movement, and get kids interested and engaged. I mean, look at the election of Barack Obama, look at how many kids grasped on to that because they need a movement, they need something to feel alive, I think the green movement can be that for young people today.
SRISKANDARAJAH: For Living on Earth and Planet Harmony, I'm Ike Sriskandarajah.

I really did enjoy a lot this anime. The story was very well put togheter. At the end it does give you a kind of feeling that the story could keep on going.But it could end there, which it did in the anime.

A lot of people did not really like this movie for many reasons. I parsonally loved this movie. Maybe what people didnt like was the fact how it ended. In my opinian the fact that they both end up in this other world is not so bad. I you think about ut it would have been a bit wear if they both got to stay in the real world with there body's. I mean you know they have been throw a lot and sure maybe some people are thinking oh they have gone throw a lot so they should be alowed to be happy in there world.

So much I love about this anime. Well when I fist found out about anime planet this was one of my first anime to watch I think it was the second. I'm in love with each characters. They are so funny. I would say Momijy <--- I think thats how you spell it. Well I think that he has one of the biggest heart and his words just get to me, he is so full of hope. I also love Tohru she is a very nice girl but sometimes she can be to nice and it can get annoying. Another of my favoret caracter is Shigure. He is so funny, he always brings a smile on my face. The whole anime overall is very funny and really good... See full review
So Dragonball Z. Well first of all there were a few things that I did not like about it. I hated how long it took for something to happen. Its like in 20 episoude only 5 minutes pass. Another thing how goku would always come late after everyone is almoust dead. And in some episoudes I just could not handol how stupid chichi was and how she couldent understand. But I really did enjoy Dragonball very much. It was very funny. The story was very confussing at some time. But this anime did cought my heart sometimes. It is really touching how kind moust of the characters in the anime are, specially goku. Even... See full review
I really like dragonball I always did even when I was a little kid. The advanters that the characters had wher really funny and just fun. Im Italian so when I was a kid I use to watch it in Italian. It is so much better then english. Not wanting to hate on the original Japanes one but I think its even better then that version. The voices are funnier, the songs are better and just over all its better. Some small things that I didnt like where wll I dont know but really small things cause over all Dragonball is a extremlly good serie for all ages.See full review
I love this anime. It has everything any girls would want in it. Like the first one its very unexpected in a good way. A good anime is suppose to make you feel different feelings. This anime can sometimes make you laugh a lot or cry. Its a very active. The story line does jump a bit like randomly but stile keeps the peaces togheter. I would have liked to see more of the old classmate. This is sill one of my favoret anime. And I got to say this is one of the few anime that made my eyes cry not just a little but a lot in more then one time.See full review
I'm so in love with Clannad. It's a really good anime in my opinian. It really surprised me. I usually know anime's preatty well. I can usually tell whats going to happen but in this anime it was full of surprices that I enjoyed. Overall the characters where very funny. Its not a 10/10 just because somethings could have changed in a better way but its stile preatty good. I was preatty shock because this was the first anime that actiolly made me cry. It wassent as emotional as the second clannad but stile very emotional.See full review

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a disorder passed down through families in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped.
See also:
Elliptocytosis - hereditary
Elliptocytosis affects about 1 in every 2,500 people of northern European heritage. It is more common in people of African and Mediterranean descent. You are more likely to develop this condition if someone in your family has had it.
An exam by your health care provider may show an enlarged spleen.
The following test results may help diagnose the condition:
There is no treatment needed for the disorder unless severe anemia or anemia symptoms occur. Surgery to remove the spleen may decrease the rate of red blood cell damage.
Most persons with hereditary elliptocytosis have no problems. They often do not know they have the condition.
Elliptocytosis is often harmless. In mild cases, fewer than 15% of red blood cells are elliptical-shaped. However, some people may have crises in which the red blood cells rupture, especially if they have a viral infection. Persons with this disease can develop anemia, jaundice, and gallstones.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have jaundice that doesn't go away or symptoms of anemia or gallstones.
Genetic counseling may be appropriate for persons with a family history of this disease who wish to become parents.

The skinny: Celebrity Cruises is arguably the most "with-it" line in the premium mainstream category. All of Celebrity's big ships — especially the five newest ones in the Solstice class — are architecturally gorgeous. Live hot-glass shows with glassblowers, grill restaurants where you can cook your own meal if you choose (on the Silhouette and Reflection), real grass lawns, and the unusual Qsine restaurant (where food is art) are indicative of just how innovative Celebrity has become. The service and cuisine are top notch.
The experience: Celebrity ships are big, but not mega-big; somehow you never feel crowded. Instead you feel embraced in a contemporary environment where a lot of focus has been put on design, especially stunning modern artwork (this line pioneered world-class art collections on ships). Cushy spaces abound and you can even find quiet corners in which to hang out. The line's newest Solstice-class ships are particularly stunning. Cuisine is above the norm, especially in the alternative restaurants, such as Murano, maybe the best French restaurant at sea (despite the name). Spa aficionados enjoy the line's AquaSpa cabins and suites with spa-tailored amenities and direct access to the spa areas, as well as the health-focused restaurant Blu.
An exceedingly polite and professional staff adds greatly to the mood (for example, they'll remember if you like your martini shaken, not stirred). Celebrity's smaller ship, Celebrity Xpedition, offers upscale soft adventure Galapagos sailings year-round (the kind where you can follow a day of viewing blue-footed boobies with a great massage).
Who's onboard? Lots of middle- to upper-income "hip" couples in their mid-30s on up; and young adult singles, as well as families.
Where they go: Alaska, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Bermuda, Canada/New England, the Caribbean, Europe, the Galapagos, Hawaii, Pacific Coastal (U.S./Canada), Panama Canal, South America, transatlantic, and transpacific.

Life in Pictures
Time is flying these days . Life has been busy trying to fit in Christmas activities with friends, weekends filled with birthday parties for Riley's classmates, a husband that has been traveling way too much and the beginnings of a huge new project with a client that is going to be so much fun ! Somehow the house is mostly decorated . I think my favorite item is the felted ball garland by Roost . So pretty and not overly Christmasy . I am definitely going to keep it out year round . (Here is a link to buy some felted ball garland of your own . I bought mine locally and didn't pay this much but this is the only place I found online .) I've also been gathering mounds of magnolia leaves with hopes of making some of my own garland . Paul brought the kids Advent calendars from Germany (one of his many recent trips) . Riley's is filled with jewelry and Hayes' is filled with chocolate so they are both happy . Our santa snow globe and all of our Christmas books have reappeared along with Howie, the elf . (Can you find him hiding in one of these pictures ? ) It is fun having them around the house again . A new addition to the house decor is a preserved boxwood . I've had my eye on them since spotting one in a Restoration Hardware catalog but I never got around to making the purchase . While out shopping the other day I came across one in a local shop and now I am kicking myself for not buying one sooner . I love having it on the kitchen counter and it is so low maintenance that even I can keep it looking good . And finally more progress in the barn ! The exterior and interior lights are hung and today I am working on the shelving . All that is left is organizing and unpacking which is the fun part, right ? Happy Monday !

- Description
This image is part of a set designed to document ecosystem changes in the grasslands and forests that Conservacion Patagonica has acquired to connect areas of uplands and create the future Patagonia National Park. See: www.conservacionpatagonica.org .
For the past eighty years, the Chacabuco Valley in Chile's Aysen Region was a large sheep ranch, where overgrazing had severely damaged the grasslands. With the launch of the Patagonia National Park project, Conservacion Patagonica removed the sheep from the land; wildlife — most obviously guanacos — began to return to the area. Kris Tompkins, founder and president of Conservacion Patagonica, asked me to be one of the project's scientific advisors. My immediate preoccupation was to document the ecological changes that would likely take place in the area as ranch became national park, as guanacos replaced sheep, as setting fires to clear forest stopped. Moreover, global climate disruption is projected to make quite marked changes on this area: temperature and probably rainfall will shift, and glaciers will melt. I looked for a technical strategy for documenting these changes to develop a deeper understanding of land use changes throughout Patagonia, where overgrazing affects huge expanses of grasslands.
When I began this project in early 2011, the coverage of high-resolution satellite images was quite poor. This will surely improve, allowing for time series of birds-eye images to record the changes. But the need to have additional detailed and eye-level images is obvious. In the years and decades to come, these gigapans will form a baseline to allow the Park's managers and visitors to understand the changes taking place.
I was inspired by J.R. Hastings and R. M. Turner's "The Changing Mile." Over a century of photographs creates a visual account of land use changes that provides a rich source of understanding of ecological change and its drivers. I hope these photographs will do the same, in time.
An account of this restoration — and an interview with Kris Tompkins — is at newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2010/01/23/patagonia_grasslands_park /
In this particular image, there are many dead trees — killed by fire, we think. Of interest will be whether the Nothofagus forest returns here.

Shares of security technology vendor Symantec (SYMC) are down 10 cents, or 0.4%, at $25 in late trading after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q4 revenue and profit per share that topped analysts' estimates, and said its board of directors voted to commence a 15-cent-per-share-per-quarter dividend.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 4%, year over year, and 5%, quarter over quarter, to $1.75 billion, yielding EPS of 44 cents, excluding some costs.
The Street had, on average, been modeling $1.73 billion and 38 cents.
CFO James Beer remarked that "We achieved better than expected March quarter results driven by double digit growth in our backup business and continued strength in data loss prevention and our other information security products."
Symantec said its board "has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share to be paid on June 27, 2013 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 19, 2013. The ex-dividend date will be June 17, 2013."
Update: During this evening's conference call with analysts, the Street forecast fiscal Q1 revenue of $1.61 billion to $1.65 billion, and EPS in a range of 35 cents to 36 cents, excluding some costs. Those projections are below the Street's consensus for $1.7 billion and 44 cents.
The company also projected full-year EPS growth of 5% to 7%, which is below the 12.6% growth that the Street has been modeling.
The stock has now deepened its losses,
down 41.10, or over 4%, at $24 down $1.41, or almost 6%, at $23.69.

Where I stayed
Victor was driving us from San Jose to Quepos/Manuel Antonio National Park. This is a beautiful beach area with the Pacific Ocean on one side and a National Park full of wildlife on the other side. While heading there, we were grasping the craziness of our relationship and letting the idea settle that we were in Costa Rica together. Of course, we were also chatting with Victor about the country and the places that we would be seeing in the next week. Halfway there we stopped at this bridge that is a small tourist attraction, which aparently is a home for alligators
Once we checked into our hotel, we said thank you/goodbye to Victor and he headed back to San Jose. From this moment on, Jane and I were pretty much together and alone for the next 9 days. We really didn't leave each other's side, except for when I had to go to class. Just the two of us being together, traveling together, and getting to know each other was really nice. We caught the sunset and walked around a couple of shops before being hungry enough for some dinner across the street from our hotel. We sat down with a couple from Israel, who had been traveling for a few weeks at that point and had already spent ample time in Manuel Antonio. So, they were a great source of information for us. They had told us to get a tour guide for the National Park, which was a great piece of advice because you see things that you would never be able to spot on your own. They told us to find the beach in the National Park because it was like a lagoon and very remote. They had videos of monkeys around their hotel and videos of whales and dolphins from an excursion close to domincal. This was getting me even more excited for the rest of the weekend. I was really looking forward to seeing and playing with some monkees!
In the morning, Jane and I woke up to a wonderfully fresh continental breakfast at our hotel
Jane was laying out and reading while I was working hard on my sandpit. I was sweating profusely. Its such hard work to dig up sand in the hot sun!! Luckily, when the time was right, Butch came by and I ordered the first round beers. While working on the sandpit, a little boy wanted to help me. So he jumped in the hole and helped out for a bit, then we proceeded to have a sand fight! He was about 8 years old, so about 1 year older than me. Being all sandy/sweaty, it was time for Jane and I to jump in the water
The next morning we were up early in order to enjoy another fantastic breakfast and make it to Manual Antonio National Park by 10. We were waiting outside the gate of the park when a man came up to us and asked us if we wanted a guided tour. I jumped on the opportunity and was pleased with the outcome. It ended up costing us $30 a person for entrance into the park and pretty much a personal tour (we were with one other couple from Canada). This was exactly what we wanted to do and it was about a 60% discount! Our tour guide was awesome! One of the first things I said to him was "Queremos ver los monos!!" He showed us orange crabs crawling around, toucans chilling in the trees, sloths being lazy, bats sleeping, other birds, a herd of ducks in the distance, and of course MONKEES!!
The most important thing for me was to see some monkeys and we saw a ton of them. I took a bunch of pictures and videos... go check them out!! It was an indescribable experience... We saw howler monkeys, white face monkeys, and squirrel monkeys!!! We were so close to the white face monkeys that I could reach out and grab them if they wouldn't run away. I don't know if Jane was up for trying to catch one of the monkeys. As for me, I wanted to grab one and play with it for at least an hour. Taking it home would have been an adventure too, but I was informed that they are quite destructive animals. The white face monkeys were hanging out next to the beach close to people's stuff. They only went after things that interested them such as anything that resembled food. One monkey was eating some crackers that he found. Another monkey was eating an entire mango that he snatched from someone. The national park security guy blew his whistle when he saw the monkees eating food because people were not supposed to feed the monkeys. The people didn't feed them, but it is their fault for leaving the food out for the monkeys to grab
Before we went back for some more monkey action, Jane and I chilled on the beach for a couple hours. This was the lagoon beach that the Israeli couple had recommended to us. We were pretty much by ourselves on the beach, other than people off in the distance and a few people that had walked by. We enjoyed the peaceful combination of the sand, water, and the animals. I had field day with my camera and the lizards on the beach. I captured 5 different lizards (some missing their tails) on my camera running around the beach. I was attempting to capture the lizards from all different angles. My favorite is the one with the lizard running away with the ocean in the background. When I had finished playing with the lizards, Jane and I were about ready to head back over to the monkeys. We seemed to be full of fantastic ideas on this day because when we went back I made the best monkey video of the weekend
We were back on beach where we saw the monkeys before, but they weren't there... Jane told me she needed to go to the bathroom and on the way to find the bathroom we found more monkeys. Thank you Jane!! At first, there was only one. Then there were two! And then we finally spotted a crowd of about 10 monkeys messing around, wrestling, chasing each other, rough housing, and doing it! I was able to get a video of all of this stuff... THIS YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK OUT!! I was videotaping these monkeys from a distance ranging about 6 ft to 30 ft. It was incredible! I really wish I could have played with these monkeys, but I didn't know if they were as friendly as they looked. After I got my monkey fix, I joined Jane on the beach where I continued to take pictures, but of hermit crabs. My camera was able to zoom in and get some cool detail of the crabs, which made these pictures really interesting to me. The park was closing at four oclock, so we jumped in the water and enjoyed the remaining time there. Leaving the park was interesting because the tide had come up where people exited the park. There was a boat service to take people to the other side, or you could walk through stomach/chest deep water. We walked through the water of course!!
Jane and I went looking for some margaritas and we found a place that was doing 2 for 1! Perfecto! We enjoyed a couple rounds and then grabbed a beer to go, so that we could catch the sunset


text: I judged a JH test this fall and had a young female run...sweet dog, but couldn't pick-up the second mark. Handler was rushed, arriving at the test late and taking the dog out of the car, to the line, running it right away...I advised that in the future, take some time to air the dog and let it smell the smells and see the sights before running. Both dog and handler are new to the sport.

wingo asked, after summarising the safety issues with C:
I still write C. I work on implementations of safe languages -- languages that don't have the same kinds of fundamental vulnerabilities that C and C++ have. Eventually the amount of C in the world will stop growing, and decline as pieces that are now written in C will be written in Python, in JavaScript, in Guile: in short, in languages that don't launch the missiles when you try to write beyond the end of an array.
C has had a great run; we should celebrate it. But its time has passed. What is your migration strategy? How are you going to stop writing C?
I think the most conservative strategy is the best. I was impressed by Cyclone. I'm not sure the language is quite right for the job, and development seems to have halted some time back, but there have been alternatives proposed. I think Cyclone has shown that C can be modestly extended in such a way that we can statically for absence of undefined behaviours and many other desirable safety and correctness properties without nuisance or violation of the spirit of C. I hope that an obviously right safeness extension to C gets proposed and acquires momentum.
I actually had a dream about this, where I was reading a paper about an extension to Lua that allowed Cyclone+Lua programs to have whole-system correctness guarantees. I don't often remember my dreams, funnily enough.

Central pontine myelinolysis is brain cell dysfunction caused by the destruction of the layer (myelin sheath) covering nerve cells in the middle of the brainstem (pons).
Osmotic demyelination syndrome
The destruction of the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells prevents signals from being properly transmitted from one nerve to another.
The most common cause of central pontine myelinolysis is a quick rise in the body's sodium levels. This most often occurs when someone is being treated for low blood levels of sodium (hyponatremia) and the sodium is replaced too fast. It also can occasionally occur when high levels of sodium in the body (hypernatremia) are corrected too quickly.
This condition does not occur on its own. It is a complication of treatment for other conditions or from the other conditions themselves.
Risks include:
An examination may show:
A head MRI scan may reveal a problem in the brainstem (pons). This is the main diagnostic test.
Other tests may include:
This is an emergency disorder. You will need to go to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment. However, most people with this condition are already in the hospital for another condition.
There is no known cure for central pontine myelinolysis. Treatment is focused on relieving symptoms.
Physical therapy may help maintain muscle strength, mobility, and function in weakened arms and legs.
The nerve damage caused by central pontine myelinolysis is usually long-lasting. The disorder can cause serious long-term (chronic) disability.
There is no real guideline on when to seek medical attention, because this condition is rare in the general community.
Gradual, controlled treatment of low sodium levels may reduce the risk of nerve damage in the pons. Being aware of how some medications can change sodium levels can prevent these levels from changing too quickly.

7/9-7/18 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report:
Where the land ends LIFE begins
Client was a no show. Its too bad because it was sunny all day and with these tides we could have sight fished to a lot of big bass that rarely eat, like yesterday. (he-he)
7/17 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Time and territory are the two key factors. Most people miss the biggest fish in the lake because they're fishing at the wrong spot at the wrong time.
(Will Kirkpatrick)
John and I had a beautiful, sun filled, windless day on the flats. Spent the entire day sight casting to a good number of big, spooky, fussy bass. Saw about 15 - 20 lb'ers, 40 or so 15 lb'ers, etc....We started off landing a couple of schoolies on the flat and then the fish kept getting bigger and bigger. Would not touch John's fly. We had lots of lookers and close inspections, but they kept refusing it. John had plenty of perfect presentations so I knew THAT was not the problem. (To describe what a perfect presentation is would be an entire article. When I have more time I'll try to write one. Lots of variables involved to be proficient, in my opinion.) As the day progressed we picked up another schoolie and decided to change to another flat where we might find some better eaters. As soon as we arrived we were seeing more big fish. First cast and this 15 lb. bass inhaled it as if it was to be it's last meal. It easily went 100 feet into the backing before we fought it back to within 20 feet. Then it gave us another scorching run into the backing again. What a hot fish! It measured out at 35 inch's. This was John's biggest bass ever. The best part was he saw it, cast to it, saw the take and the entire run and fight. Congrats!!
You wont be seeing any pictures for awhile. I was watering the sand and I dropped my camera into the water and now all I can see through the view finder are little bait fish that swam into it as it laid on the bottom. That was about a $350 dollar mistake. Maybe I should get a water proof camera? Da!!! (he-he)

If you want to catch fish, you'd better be fishing in the right pond. (Fisherman's Saying)
(See Photo)
John and Frank fished several different flats and flats channels through out the day. It was funny to find one section of the flat almost void of fish and then move 200 feet over to another travel lane on the same flat and find the mother load. Found birds working over bait and a number of good sized bass with some smaller in the mix. The fish were very picky all day long.
Boy, these tides are ripping hot presently. Need to be more careful as the water is coming in pretty fast out there.
Know one seems to know why we are not seeing our normal number of fish around. I'm hear the entire S. E. Cape is fishing slow? They are here, just not in the numbers we are used too. Is it August already?
I'm not seeing the normal amount of bait around, so I would have to guess that this is the reason why. I know that the water temperature is fine.
With these faster tides, Im noticing that some of the fish are holding or targeting flats creeks. These area's bring them a steady amount of food in the current. Presenting you fly is just like throwing any streamer into a river or stream. The best part is you can visually pick out the fish you want to present your fly to.
A friend landed a 240lb. Tuna the other day. Was told the Japanese are paying anywhere from $9-15 per pound. I'm seeing several commercial Tuna boats per day heading out for the giants. Some are around, but it's still hit or miss. Saw a couple 800 pound Blue Fin Tuna on the flats today in 3 feet of water. They were being fussy eater's too. (he-he)
7/15 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
It has come to my attention by one of my most wisest of clients that some of you feel the
fishing reports should be placed at the top of this page.
It seems that some of you are having a tuff time fitting the 3 extra seconds it takes you to
scroll down to today's fishing report's into your busy schedule. I'm also sure that it must
be exhausting for your finger to hold down the mouse button for that long too! Sooooooooo, for
today only, I will make an exception this one time and put today's report at the top.
I hope your finger appreciates it!
(See Photo's)
Jeff and Fred hit a number of schoolies today while blind casting. Saw some big'ns on the flats,
but no takers.
Noticing lately we have been getting a number of short strikes. Going to a smaller fly or a fly with a shorter tail will
normally solve this problem. Or maybe I should just sharpen my worn out, rusted and dull hooks?
Water temperature change on a flat:
Once in a while we come across subtleties in nature that most would walk right by without a
second glance. By paying attention to these almost insignificant signatures clues can help
you to become a more proficient angler.
The other day we were walking a flat that was made up of bowls and channels at the high.
All of a sudden we noticed through our thin breathable waders a major temperature change in
the water. We had just walked into what felt like bath water. It had to be at least 70 degree's
or a lil better. We immediately stopped and started to look for fish. In about 20 minutes we saw
and cast at about 20 fish. A number of other bowls were void of our quarry, while this one acted
more like a magnet to the fish.
My good friend and top wade guide, George Ryan taught me to always pay attention to temperature
changes on a flat. In the spring time search out warmer water and in the late summer do just
the opposite.
The observant angler will always out fish the non.
7/14 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more."
(Lord Byron)
(See Photo's)
Chris and I did a combination of blind casting and sight fishing today with success. We hit fish in 3 out of 4 spots. I felt pretty good at days end about our success's as most anglers were haveing a very slow time of it. A few of us are concerned that we are not seeing the normal number of fish around at this time of year - tide. Few around, but not as many as there should be. Hmmmmmm!
7/12 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Win and Jeff had several first's today. They got to sight fish all day and Win caught his first ever striper. Today we had little to no wind? It's been so long, I forgot what it was like. We saw a fair number of fish on the flats and only had one slow period for about 1/2 hour. Otherwise it was one here and a couple there for most of the day. Noticing some fresh fish around, but not in the numbers I was expecting. Few fish around presently. Should get better as tides increase in speed. The fish were actually eating pretty good today. We broke off one fish and had 6-7 short strikes.
(See Photo)
Win saw the fish, cast at it and then watched it inhale his fly. Congrats to you all!
7/11 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Report
Chris, Damin and Fred fished the flats for the first time today. It was a new and exciting experience for them all. Seeing the fish in the shallows and watching them inhale their perfectly cast (ahemmmm) offering was wild. We also did some blind casting into some strip'a hold'n waters and were also rewarded. We landed 4-5 keep'as today a long with some schoolies. Great time, great fun, great company!
(See Photo)
(Above are just a few of the landed fish from today, all fish released) Congrats to you all!
7/9 - 10 S.E. Cape Cod Fishing Repor t
Yesterday the fishing was S-L-O-W for ourselves and everyone else I spoke with. We did manage to hook-up a couple of small ones and lost an approx. 15 lb. or more Bass. It ran about 125 feet into the backing and when we fought it back to within 30 feet the hook pulled lose. Very windy!
Today, I was once again flattered to be asked to model some merchandise for Orvis. Clothing, rods, lines, luggage, etc.. were all photographed. Two of the most highly respected and well known flats Guides - Capt.'s joined us also. Capt. Bob Benson(Fishing the Cape- Orvis endorsed Outfitter, Guide Service Shop) and brother Capt. Rich Benson joined the team by also doing some modeling. They shuttled us all around in their boats to different locations depending on wind, back drops, etc. We even got to fish for fun today. We picked up a few fish while blind casting into a deep, fast moving channel and also picked up about a 1/2 dozen fish while sight fishing the flats.
We cast the new T-3 rod all day and were once again amazed at how light it was in the hand and the power it had. Both Rich and myself started off trying to over power it with our very aggressive casting style and found that by relaxing and letting the rod do the work (cast ) for us, it became effortless. The one product that I (as a wade guide) liked the most was a entirely new high tech. product line of light weight chest, fanny, back packs and a combination there of. Any of you who wade the flats like I do, will like them too!

text: Probably putting the cart in front of the horse and the pup is young (11wks), and not ready for forcing but really loves birds, bumper are semi-OK but BIRDS (Live-Dead Frozen) anything with feathers is heaven, desert are crossed and water forged for birds & feathers. Only problem is I got a Pup that can pluck a bird in 5 seconds, looking for suggestion on how to break this habit before we start breaking skin . We've gotten pass the human puppy biting thing, she has control of her mouth pressure on other objects, it just hasn't transferred over to birds yet. Get a bird in her mouth and invulnerably her eyes glow red and the plucking begins . So I guess I'm looking for hints on how to transfer mouth control over to birds. Yes I could just not give her birds, we've been trying that however, when she's out she will find them, and I feel this is a issue I'll have to deal with eventually, might as well get a head start on it now, before anythings ingrained.

Lentils are the "dahling" of Indian cuisine. Here, they're spiced up with ginger, red pepper, garlic and many other flavor-packed ingredients.
The term dal (or dahl) is a spicy East Indian dish often made with lentils. In India, dal also refers to many varieties of pulses (the dried seeds of legumes) that include beans, peas and lentils.
Love those lentils because they are a good source of iron and phosphorus, as well as vitamins A and B and calcium.

- Gershwin, Porgy & Bess Suite
Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam and The Houdini's have known each other since their respective foundations 7 and 8 years ago. That was because members of both ensembles were former members of the orchestra of Boulevard of Broken Dreams, an ensemble which performed popular repertoire from the 1920s and 30s. Both the Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam and The Houdini's soon proved to be individualists, each in their own field. Their shared intensity of commitment, combined with interest in each other's activities, led to a heartfelt wish for some kind of combined performance. What better vehicle for the combined talents of a classical and a jazz ensemble than Gershwin's folk opera Porgy and Bess?.... Pianist/arranger Bert van den Brink composed a suite especially for us, giving both groups a chance to shine. The success of van den Brink's arrangment, the premiere at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (with a TV recording), Richard Dufallo's inspiring conducting, and the dedication - and above all the expertise - of Channel Classics, who recorded a number of live performances for this CD, have made the whole project a feast - a feast of old familiars and good friends! Angelo Verploegen, The Houdinis translation: David Shapero
Additional Information
|Main artist
HOUDINI'S, THE - (jazz sextet)
For many years, Richard Dufallo has been considered as one of America's most important proponents of 20th century music. He has gained wide acclaim with his innovative programs combining old and new music. He made his European debut in 1970 in Paris with the ORTF. Since then he has conducted orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the London Symphony Orchestra. At one time he was also chief conductor of the Orchestra of Gelderland. In 1993, Richard Dufallo gave a series of concerts with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble, performing works by Copland, Gershwin, Stravinsky, and Bernstein. His international publication, Trackings: Composers Speak with Richard Dufallo includes conversations with 26 prominent composers. The Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam was founded in 1988 by a group of musicians, all of whom shared a deep love of chamber music. Their goal was the creation of a chamber orchestra which would be able to attain the highest possible level of ensemble playing. In the ensuing years, the Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam has created its own very special niche in Netherlands musical life. The highly personal string sound, the enthusiasm and commitment of the musicians, and the high artistic level of the performances have all contributed to the orchestra's recognition. Since the ensemble's foundation its chief conductor has been Lev Markiz, who is also its artistic director. He has made use of his own background as a violinist, devoting all his energy and commitment to the development of the Sinfonietta's special sound. The ensemble made a tremendous impression with a programming policy which combined familiar repertoire and contemporary music. It has performed premieres of music by both Russian and Netherlands composers, including several works by Schnittke. This individual style of programming has helped to guarantee the Nieuw Sinfonietta regular appearances at venues including the Holland Festival. There have also been successful tours to the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the former USSR. Future plans include tours in Scandinavia, Germany, and England. Guest conductors have included Thomas Zehetmair, Reinbert de Leeuw, Jos van Immerseel, and Iona Brown. Soloists have included Hakan Hardenberger, Yo Yo Ma, Jard van Nes, Roland Pntinen, and Nobuko Imai. General sponsor of the orcheatra is KPMG, accountants / income-tax consultants. The somewhat peculiar name The Houdinis stands for a most exciting and dynamic Dutch jazz sextet. The three hornplayers first worked together during the summer of 1987, touring Canada with the Boulevard of Broken Dreams show, a massive entertainment that featured music of the 20s and 30s with singers and strings. When the bandleader wanted a jazz band within the orchestra, The Houdinis happened. In the spring of 1990 The Houdinis conluded a Dutch concerttour with the recording of their debut album Live At Paradox. The success of this recording and their live performances got The Houdinis every year at the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival. This is where jazz critic Michael Bourne heard The Houdinis, reviewing in Down Beats November 1991-issue: The Houdinis, as good a band of young jazzers as the young jazzers of New York. Many more tours and recordings followed, some of them at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder studio in New Jersey. The title track of their second album Headlines became a hit on New Yorks 24-hour jazz station WBGO. In April 1995 The Houdinis received the annual Golden Nutcracker Award from the Dutch Musicians Union.

Chapter 17: Thermochemistry
A fire in a fireplace on a cold winter night is welcome and comforting. The organic compounds that make up wood react with oxygen at an elevated temperature to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and large amounts of heat. Combustion is an example of an exothermic chemical reaction, meaning that heat is released in the course of the reaction. When you sit in front of this fire, the heat energy flows from the fire to you. In this chapter, you will learn about heat flow and how some chemical reactions naturally release energy while some other reactions absorb energy. You will learn how to show heat changes in chemical equations and perform calculations in order to determine the heat being absorbed or released in all sorts of chemical reactions, changes of state, and other physical processes.
