Thanks for pointing out the automatic sync. Sorry for not reading the manual first.
In fact quite often I do tell users that "send to" doesn't sync. However, there wasn't any indication of you using "send to" in your original post, hence me saying that it was probably a settings problem. I might know MM well, but that doesn't make me psychic! You were free to post your settings that you used and someone (or I) could then explain to you what to change.

Kritzerland is very proud to present a 2-CD set at a 1-CD price – five incredible scores on two CDs, four of them world premiere releases:
Including FALLEN ANGEL, WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, LAURA, DAISY KENYON and WHIRLPOOL
Music Composed by David Raksin and Cyril J. Mockridge
For Preminger at Fox, we concentrate on five films, all of which were released on DVD under the Fox Film Noir umbrella. While one could argue about the use of the word noir in one instance, all five films have the look and feel of noir, they're all very much of a piece and they're all brilliantly directed by Otto Preminger.
Fallen Angel has all the classic noir ingredients – a down-at-the-heels drifter, a sultry siren that men will do anything for, an innocent nice girl, a tough cop, and various other archetypes. As he had with Laura, composer David Raksin provided another classic noir tune, this one called "Slowly," which plays as source music throughout the film (and is sung by both Alice Faye and Dick Haymes). Additionally, Raksin provides his usual expert background score, beginning with a nervous, bustling, and exciting main title and continuing through a series of wonderful cues. There's nothing quite like Raksin in noir mode and Fallen Angel is a Raksin classic.
Where the Sidewalk Ends reunited the stars of Preminger's Laura – Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney. The composer for Where the Sidewalk Ends wasn't Preminger regular David Raksin, but a Fox staff composer named Cyril J. Mockridge, with whom Preminger had worked before. Mockridge based his score around Alfred Newman's classic "Street Scene" music – a piece that was used regularly in films of all types at Fox during that era. But what Mockridge does with it is great, and his own original music, of which there is plenty, suits the film perfectly.
No Preminger at Fox collection would be complete without the film that started it all – Laura, Preminger's 1944 classic. For this CD, we include "The Laura Suite – Theme and Variations."
Daisy Kenyon (1947), is a drama with a romantic triangle at its center, involving Joan Crawford, Dana Andrews, and Henry Fonda. It's a terrific drama, filled with Preminger's directorial touches that elevate it from being just another potboiler. Once again, the composer is David Raksin. Although the film has almost no music, the little that's there is wonderful.
Whirlpool (1949), has a cast that includes Gene Tierney, Richard Conte, Jose Ferrer, and Charles Bickford. Once again a Preminger film features a classic David Raksin score, this one filled to the brim with one great cue after another beginning with its dramatic and then beguiling main theme. For this film, Raksin is at his most atmospheric and it's one of his best scores and the longest score in this set.
Five great films by one great director for a great studio – four with scores by David Raksin and one with a gem of a score by Cyril J. Mockridge, all of which adds up to some great Golden Age film score listening.
PREMINGER AT FOX is limited to 1000 copies only and the 2-CD set is priced at $19.98, plus shipping.

Our Four-Legged Friends – Do More Than Just Love Us!
Our four-legged friends – do more than just love us!
They even help reduce our risk of heart disease! According to a recent study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, dog owners on average were 24% less likely to die over a 10-year period and 31% less likely to die from a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular condition compared to people who didn't have dogs.
Another study looked at dog ownership with regard to survival after stroke or heart attack. Compared to non-dog owners, dog owners aged 40-85 who suffered a heart attack or stroke found a lower death rate, 33% for heart attack and 27% for stroke after being discharged from the hospital.
This then begs the question: Are the improved outcomes due to owning a dog or do dog owners behave differently than non-dog owners? For instance, are they healthier, wealthier and more active? According to demographic data, dog owners are more likely to be married, have physical space for a dog and exercise outdoors more than non-dog owners. Yet, according to one of the researchers, even after adjusting for these factors, there are likely some health benefits from having a dog.
I, for one, agree whole-heartedly with this research! Last spring, I adopted an 11-year old rescue, Bichon and named him "Pico". He has brought so much love into my life – from taking him on neighborhood walks, to visiting my Mom at her Board & Care, and attending charity events. He's definitely gotten me out of the house more! My stress level has decreased, my mood has improved and overall quality of life has been raised a few notches!
Here are more pics of our adventures together.
At the Alzheimer's walk:
At the Humane Society Fur Ball:
Researchers are not sure if cat lovers enjoy the same health benefits as dog owners. This is because our feline friends are easier to maintain and don't require walks outside. Yet, I don't think anyone would argue that both cats and dogs bring an immeasurable level of unconditional love to our lives.
As Amazing Over 40 women, let's be grateful for all of our four-legged friends. They are helping us in more ways than we know!
In health and happiness,
Dr. Diana

Caught on Camera: Naked man steals deputy's car, says he was poisoned
A New Mexico deputy's body camera caught the moment that a naked man stole his patrol car.
Authorities say 37-year-old Jesus Tarango took off in the deputy's car, and then told officers over the radio that he stole the vehicle because he was poisoned.
"I need help, this officer didn't want to help me. I'm poisoned, that's why I got the car," he said.
Tarango drove himself to the hospital, police say.
Officials say that Tarango was impaired, but did not elaborate.
He faces a number of charges, including resisting an officer, aggravated fleeing, stealing a motor vehicle and concealing identity.

India elections 2014: Narendra Modi becomes India's new prime minister
Indian PM-elect Narendra Modi has received an enthusiastic welcome at his BJP party's headquarters in Delhi after securing the most decisive election victory in three decades.
Narendra Modi was cheered by supporters after a victory parade from the airport.
Manmohan Singh, whose Congress party was crushed in the poll, has tendered his resignation as prime minister.
Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist and chief minister of Gujarat, campaigned on promises to revive the economy.
Results show the BJP gained a majority in parliament and will be able to govern without coalition partners.
However, many Indians still have profound concerns over Narendra Modi because of claims he did little to stop communal riots in Gujarat in 2002 in which at least 1,000 people died, most of them Muslims.
narendra Modi has always denied the allegations and was never charged.
After arriving in Delhi from his home state of Gujarat, Narendra Modi was greeted by flag-waving supporters. He stepped out of his car, flashing a victory sign.
A brass band, drummers and bagpipers met him at the BJP headquarters, while bunting and balloons decorated the street.
Narendra Modi will go to Varanasi for a ceremony by the river Ganges later on Saturday.
With votes still being counted, the BJP has won more than the 272 seats needed for a parliamentary majority.
With its allies, the party could get more than 330 seats out of 543.
Speaking at the BJP headquarters, Narendra Modi said: "I want to bow, I want to give my thanks… to the people of India."
He said Indian media had created "consciousness among voters" and a "great festival of Indian democracy".
On Friday, Narendra Modi wrote in a widely-shared tweet: "India has won, good days are about to come."
He also told supporters he would rule for all Indians.
"The age of divisive politics has ended – from today onwards the politics of uniting people will begin."
World leaders, including President Barack Obama and UK PM David Cameron, have congratulated Narendra Modi on his victory.
India's new leader has received invitations to Washington and London. Previously, the US denied him visas and the UK cut off all ties with him following the 2002 riots.
Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif commended the BJP's "impressive victory" in the election.
The Congress party, which has dominated Indian politics since independence, is only expected to win 44 seats.
Congress has been mired in serious corruption scandals and its leadership has been considered ineffective in recent years, analysts say.
Accepting defeat, Congress President Sonia Gandhi said: "We humbly respect the verdict of the people."
Manmohan Singh met the president to hand in his resignation.
In a televised farewell address earlier on Saturday, Manmohan Singh said the government had achieved a lot in the last 10 years.
"I wish the incoming government every success," Manmohan Singh said.

This psalm is a prayer, which concludes with an appeal for divine favor. It is attributed to Moses, a "man of God." The designation "man of God" identifies Moses as being in a relationship with him as his servant or prophet.
To his people, YHWH has been like a dwelling, a place of shelter, refuge, or protection. His being such is not limited to one particular period in history. It continues to be the case from one generation to another.
From the eternal past (prior to the existence of the mountains, the earth, and the habitable or cultivatable regions) to the endless ages to come, he is God.
But man is mortal. Having told the first man that he would return to the dust (Gen. 3:19), YHWH returns every man to the lifeless elements of the ground. So, in the case of all "sons of men," all humans, he says, "Return."
To the eternal God, time is not what it is to humans. A thousand years are as a day to him, a day that has passed. It is as yesterday was to humans, which, in the conscious memory, seems much shorter than a new day, especially when it appears to drag. A watch of the night is even shorter. Among the ancient Hebrews, there were three four-hour night watches.
Human life passes quickly, as if swept away by onrushing waters. In this context, "sleep" may signify the "sleep of death." A number of translations, do thus render the psalmist's words: "You sweep men away in the sleep of death." (NIV) "You cut them off; they are asleep in death." (REB) Since, however, the Hebrew only says "sleep," the reference could be to actual sleep or a dream. This meaning is reflected in renderings such as the following: "You bring our lives to an end just like a dream." (CEV) "They disappear like sleep at dawn." (NAB) "You sweep them away; they are like a dream." (NRSV) "You carry us away like a flood; we last no longer than a dream." (TEV)
Humans are like grass in the morning, grass that has just sprouted or been refreshed by the nightly dew. Then, if it is cut down during the day, or if the young shoots are subjected to the sun's intense heat, the grass, by the time evening falls, will be dry and withered. Like such grass, humans may for a time flourish and then quickly be cut down in death.
The reference to being consumed by God's anger probably means dying as a consequence of divine wrath against sin. In the case of the Israelites in the wilderness, his judgments did lead to their death. Expressions of divine wrath did terrify them.
YHWH was not blind to the sins of his people. The psalmist recognized that these sins were right in front of the Most High. Even wrongs committed in secret and concealed from human sight were exposed by the light of his countenance.
Evidently because of recognizing the sinful condition of humans and God's wrath directed against sin, the psalmist said "all our days pass away under your wrath" (NRSV). Our years end like a sigh, like a mere breath passing the lips. (See the Notes section.)
The span of our life is about seventy years. If possessing more than average strength or vigor, we may live to be eighty. Still, the short life is filled with exhausting labor and trouble. Then, it ends quickly, and we vanish as if having taken flight.
Having referred to God's anger in connection with the brevity of human life, the psalmist raises the question, "Who considers the power of your anger?" (NRSV) Yes, who really gives thought to or appreciates the extent of God's wrath against sin? The psalmist's next words may be understood to mean that the reverential fear or awe owing to God should be commensurate with his anger. "Your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you." (NRSV) "Your wrath matches the fear it inspires." (NAB) "Your wrath matches the fear of You." (Tanakh [JPS, 1985 edition])
Because life is so very brief, the psalmist prays that God might teach him and his people to number their days, evidently to evaluate them properly so as to make the best use of them. That the numbering of days has this objective is revealed by the words, "that we may gain wisdom of heart" (NAB), that in our heart, in our deep inner self, we will be motivated to act wisely during our short life.
The petition, "return, O YHWH," likely is to be understood as a plea for him to relent in his anger and to bestow his favor and blessing on his people. The question, "How long?" has been rendered more explicitly, "How long must we wait?" (NJB) The thought apparently is how much longer it would be until God's anger would cease and his favor would again be granted. This is confirmed by the subsequent appeal for his servants to be shown pity or mercy.
In the morning, apparently meaning at the start of each day, may God's servants experience his compassionate care (Hebrew, chésed). Being thus satisfied or filled with his "constant love" (TEV), they would be able to jubilate and rejoice all their days or throughout their life. The psalmist petitions God to grant them days of rejoicing to offset the days during which he afflicted them, the years during which they had experienced suffering.
The psalmist's plea is that God's work or activity become manifest. In view of the context and the parallel with "glory" or "splendor," the "work" evidently denotes God's deliverance of his people in a manner that demonstrates his glory or awe-inspiring power. This wondrous splendor is then also to be manifest to their sons, their offspring.
The psalm concludes with the petition that God's favor, pleasantness, or "sweetness" (NJB) continue to be upon his people and the works of their hands or all their activity. In praying for these works to be established, the psalmist apparently means that such works will not be in vain but prove to be successful.
Regarding the divine name, see Psalm 1.
The Septuagint (89:9 [90:8(9)]) does not say "our years" come to an end "like a sigh." It reads, "our years have meditated like a spider." This may mean that the years have been like fleeting thoughts comparable to a spider's spinning. Brenton's interpretive rendering is, "our years have spun out their tale like a spider."
For the significance of chésed and the corresponding Septuagint rendering éleos, see Psalm 5.

I have spent hours and hours trying to plan out our master bathroom remodel in SketchUp. It took me a couple hours to "build" the cabinet and now I've spent hours and hours (all night, really) laying out the tile. Probably it would be faster if I did a bunch of tutorials to learn how to use SketchUp better and then return to the planning because it's very easy to mess things up.
This is, obviously, just a starting point.
And the proposed shower plan a few hours later. Not sure if this is doable, but we will try.
I prepared this plan mostly to give the subs a good idea of what we want. I don't think I have to add every tiny detail. At least I hope not, because this is tedious as hell.

My Thieves is a study of the relationships between the visual and literary arts, and is also a meditation on the nature of creativity and artistic authenticity. Paquin, a poet with great interest in painting and the visual arts in general, writes about those artists across disciplines who've influenced him using a wide range of poetic structures and forms. At the heart of the book is the concern that perhaps the creative individual is merely an imitator of all the art he has ever admired; at the book's center is the fear that the "self" is just a collection of other selves absorbed through one's lifetime.
'My Thieves both confronts and attests beyond the wreckage of lyric expression to renewed, revived musics that abide by their own ruins. Through daring jarrings of genre distinctions, these poems examine their own processes in novelistic expanse, blues song mutation, and in hieroglyphs conveying the eros of suspicion as well as a humble and humane dedication to beauty various and mutable.' —Dean Young
'F]ormally accomplished poems ... This is an author capable of a genuinely moving rawness of sincerity' —Laura Mullen, New Review of Literature
'Ethan Paquin's [poems] are knife-edge sharp ... he works both skillfully and elegantly with his tools – his words ... Paquin's language is nothing but evocative.' —Paula Koneazny, Verse
'[Paquin's] visceral emphases sometimes bring to mind the spell-casting poetry of Robert Duncan, at other times a scrambled postmodern Dylan Thomas.' —Publishers Weekly
'Paquin knows how to enter language and walk in it, so that his experience seems remarkably universal.' —Alexis Smith, Tarpaulin Sky

Grand Theft Naughty List.
Location: Boston, MA
Date played: December 10, 2016
Team size: up to 10; we recommend 6-8
Duration: 60 minutes
Price: $28 per ticket
Story & setting
Our names made it onto Santa's Naughty List.
Santa had left the building and it was now our team's chance to break into the old man's workshop and swap our forged naughty list for the real one. It was a risky heist, but with quality presents at risk, we had to take action.
The setting was bright, festive, and more red, green, and white than Boston's North End. The room was pretty hacked together. However, the aesthetic and build quality greatly exceeded what we were expecting from a temporary seasonal game.
In a word, it was adorable.
There was a lot to find and solve in Naughty, or Nice?.
The game flowed smoothly from start to finish. It wasn't a particularly challenging game, and our experienced team ripped through it like a puzzling tornado. There were, however, a few moments that made us slow down and one that nearly tripped us up.
In our review of Room Escapers' first game, Pirate's Booty, we were underwhelmed by the start of the game. It wasn't until we were halfway through the room escape that it turned into something interesting. Oh my, was that problem solved in Naughty, or Nice?. We were genuinely surprised by the opening moments of the game.
The theming work was super cute and Room Escapers seriously committed to it. The staff members wore fetching elf costumes and the lobby had been fully decorated in the spirit of the season.
Everything was overflowing with personality.
Naughty, or Nice? was a temporary construction and some of it was unpolished and hacked together, but it all worked. The game was fun. A good time was had by all… but there were a lot of little details that were deliberately overlooked due to the impermanence of the game.
Also… it's a temporary game. As fun as it was, it's only available for a limited time.
Should I play Room Escapers' Naughty, or Nice??
Yes, if you're in the area, Naughty, or Nice? is well worth a playthrough.
If you're a newbie, it's an approachable, bright, and cheery game.
If you're an experienced player, it's adorably inventive and does a few things differently.
Naughty, or Nice? should be open through most of January. Grab tickets while you can.
Book your hour with Room Escapers' Naughty, or Nice?, and tell them that the Room Escape Artist sent you.
Full disclosure: We traded Room Escapers a handpicked selection of excellent IPAs for tickets to this game.

Ummm … how do you deal? As in it all gets to be beyond overwhelming and you just want to stick your head in a bottle of Jaeger. But instead, you … ? -Cristen
My favorite methods for dealing with anxiety include:
- Very long, very hot shower
- Dance class
- Neighborhood walk or hike
- Mindlessly click around online (like this: INTERNET! FOREVER…)
- Stare at the rainbow disco ball thing (it's in the book)
- When the going gets really tough, go for unconscious: NAP TIME.
Next question!
how do you feel about the celebrity you have gained as a result of the book and the sites?
Ah, micro-celebrity. First, I must say something: if you know who I am, it's not because of my book. It's because of the internet (…FOREVER). I know from my reader surveys that like 12 of you found me first via my book. The rest of you found me via the internet (…FOREVER! ok, ok I'll stop).
Over on Offbeat Home is where we talk about all the post-wedding-y goodness: marriage, honeymoons, relationships, etc. Last week Homie Cassandra told us about her... Read more
But yeah, micro-celebrity. Since I started blogging in 2000 and hang out in super geeky circles, I've had a long time to get used to the "Uh, you don't know me, but I read your blog…" phenomenon, so that kind of niche notoriety feels pretty ok. Of course it's always nice to have people who are familiar with your work, but it's just not that big of a deal and there's no need to get all "OH HELLOOOOO MY LITTLE DARLINGS! TAKE MAH PICTURE! I AM A ROCK STAR! LA LA LA." I'm not. I'm a blogger. A few thousand people are familiar with my corner of the web. I am not a celebrity, nor am I even that well-known of a writer, relatively speaking.
This is all to say, while I'm comfortable with niche notoriety (because I recognize it for what it is: a niche. A very small one.) I DO get uncomfortable when it turns into any sort of idolatry. I totally get having online writers who you admire and adore (I have a ton of them!). But I think it can get weird when you start projecting your admiration on to people and thinking somehow they're better than you.
For the most part, people you admire are just as confused and fucked up as you are. They may have figured out certain areas of their lives (hence the cause of your admiration), but chances are good that other aspects of their lives are in shambles, and you could probably teach them a thing or two.
I guess I'm saying we all need more mentors, and less idols. I don't need the web to create more self-absorbed celebrities. I want it to create a gallery of accessible, intelligent mentors.
would you ever want to get re-weddinged? (party excuse?)
I don't have a real pull to get re-weddinged at this point, but it's only been 6ish years. I could totally see the appeal after 10 or 20.
what's your favorite part of being a wife (rather than a girlfriend, or single)? and what's your favorite part of being a mama?
It's hard for me to answer the first question, because I just don't feel very different as a wife than I did as a longtime girlfriend. I know some folks feel a big shift, but I just didn't. So I guess it would just be something legal like shared health insurance. I know. SO ROMANTIC!
As for my favorite part of being a mama? Considering that I spent five years trying, just being a mother at all feels like a major accomplishment. Specifically, I guess it would be the weight of my son's head resting on my shoulder.
I want an Offbeat Bride MAGAZINE!!! Please oh PLEAZZEEEE consider a magazine! I would love nothing more then to go to my local bookstore, without a laptop, and still get my Offbeat fix….*sigh* Such a beautiful dream!
As far as Offbeat Bride: The Magazine goes, thanks for the sweet vote of confidence … but I don't see it ever happening. My career actually first started with writing and then editing an independent magazine back in the '90s, and lemme tell you: PUBLISHING MAGAZINES IS REALLY FUCKING HARD. Seriously. So hard.
There's a reason why so many magazines are going out of business these days, while online publications like Offbeat Bride are thriving. Printing, distribution, ad sales, subscriber services … it's a huuuuuuuuge pain in the ass. The joy of offbeatwed.com is that I can skip all those things (and all those costs) and focus on what I like doing most: WRITING.
Plus, why mess with paper and mailing and killing trees and a big ol' delay (most mag articles are written 4-6 months before you read them)? With offbeatwed.com I have an idea, write it up, and publish it in 10 minutes. No need to pay a printer, distributor, etc, etc, etc, etc.
I know it's not quite as hold-it-in-your-hands tangible as a magazine, but offbeatwed.com is probably as close as I'll ever get. 🙂 I mean, I'd never say never … but.

Cloudy days make me want to clean like crazy and move a few things around. Goodness only knows I should be at the desk working on paperwork, in between stages I've got to get up and move around. Taking a short tour of the office I realized I hadn't shown you the few changes I've made in the center bookcase. I'm rolling over in my mind to paint or stain the big black beast. Goodness I must be looking for something to do to tackle that gi-normous thing.
Over this past year I've introduced blue back into the home. Many pieces have been stored away, I felt it was time they took their rightful homes out where I could enjoy them. Blue transferware is such a timeless item to have around, I'm wondering why I even put them away or sold tons of it in the Auction. Boy I was not bright! Now, now, no side comments on my brightness. :-)
The gi-normous black bookcase was brought from our previous home, being of cedar you couldn't clean it, so I've painted it a few colors the last of which is the stained black. I sanded off the edges and have yet to stain it with my provincial color stain. Quite large in size it's become a fun piece to decorate.
I hope you didn't hit the overload button with all the pictures, guess once I started I just couldn't stop. :-))
Thanks for swinging in to say hello, your comments always touch our hearts.
Until next time....

This is the tale of architect Chris Downey, who advocates designing cities "with the blind in mind", not only because that's good to do, but because the resulting product benefits the sighted as well.
"I want to propose to you today that the blind be taken as the prototypical city dwellers when imagining new and wonderful cities, and not the people that are thought about after the mold has already been cast. It's too late then. So if you design a city with the blind in mind, you'll have a rich, walkable network of sidewalks with a dense array of options and choices all available at the street level. If you design a city with the blind in mind, sidewalks will be predictable and will be generous. The space between buildings will be well-balanced between people and cars. ? If you design a city with the blind in mind, you design a city with a robust, accessible, well-connected mass transit system that connects all parts of the city and the region all around. If you design a city with the blind in mind, there'll be jobs, lots of jobs. Blind people want to work too. They want to earn a living."
How does this related to the downtown specific plan? My takeaway is wide sidewalks, balancing the placement and distribution of various projects along El Camino. He talks about varying textures on the ground that provide tactile feedback for the blind, but also visual interest for the sighted.
Which reminds me of Menlo Park's ill-fated %-for Art Ordinance. When it was rescinded years ago the Council threw the baby out with the bathwater. If ever there was a need and opportunity for integrating good public art it is with the El Camino Downtown Plan. Whatever emerges on the flanking sides of El Camino it would be more admirable if there were regular reserved spots for public art.

'Zim should be registering higher economic growth'
Conrad Mwanawashe Business Reporter
ZIMBABWE should register annual growth rates of between 7 percent and 8 percent over the next ten years to make up for the two decades of lost economic growth and lift the country above its regional counterparts. Finance and Economic Development Minister Patrick Chinamasa believes the progress registered by Zimbabwe's regional competitors during the period of economic instability up to 2008 is not out of reach.
"We need to catch up on our time considering that we have lost a good 20 years over issues of resolving the land question. So we need to catch up and for that to happen we need to grow consistently at around 7 percent to 8 percent for the next 10 years. If we fail then we are not getting there. We have the potential," said Minister Chinamasa.
Minister Chinamasa was speaking at a post budget breakfast meeting with captains of industry hosted by The Herald Business and the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries last Friday.
To catch up, Zimbabwe crafted an economic policy framework to create wealth and give impetus to economic growth to ensure the country achieves its growth potential. The 2016 budget sets the tone for aspired faster economic growth. "Our growth rate is too low. At 1,5 percent this year and 2,7 percent next year. We should never be content with a Gross Domestic Product of $14 billion. It's so little. This is why we are concentrating on the policy framework," said Minister Chinamasa.
Apart from the policy framework, Minister Chinamasa is looking to mining to spur economic development. "As we go forward I am now looking on mining to give me the growth that I am expecting and in this regard we are pushing on increasing the production of diamonds," said Minister Chinamasa.
As part of efforts to capacitate the mining sector, Government introduced a policy to consolidate all diamond mining companies into a single entity to bring transparency in the mining and marketing of diamonds. The policy is, however, facing stern resistance from existing diamond mining companies, but Government says it will not relent.
Minister Chinamasa said the resistance has forced Government to consider other avenues to exploit the gems. "We have agreed with Minister of Mines and Mining Development (Walter Chidhakwa) that we must forge ahead with our own efforts. We are now consolidating three concessions, Marange Resources, Kusena and Gye Nyame into one company.
"We are going to proceed to exploit diamonds on the three concessions and we have already acquired necessary machinery from Belarus. So I am expecting to see a leap in our production of diamond carats from the current three million carats to about six to seven million carats next year," said Minister Chinamasa.
Value addition and beneficiation is critical in Government's plans to secure consistent economic growth rates. This is especially important now that China, the major consumer of commodities, minerals, is undergoing an economic slowdown. The decline in the prices of commodities due to the slowdown in China means that producers of commodities are also exposed.
Zimbabwe, being one of the major producers of minerals is also vulnerable to that decline. This has forced Zimbabwe to expedite the process of value addition and beneficiation to minerals to break ranks with countries which are primary producers.
Already, Government has implemented a number of measures in the diamond and gold sectors which have started paying dividends. Aurex Diamonds (Pvt) Limited, a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, is now cutting and polishing diamonds mined in the country, after their compulsory cleaning to improve their quality.
"I am happy to say that Aurex Diamonds has already acquired state-of-the-art equipment from India," said Minister Chinamasa. With respect to platinum, Government has agreed with platinum producers a roadmap on the base of which they are going to move from concentration to base metal and ultimately to refinery.
"Concentration gives them 25 percent purity; the next level is to do 50 percent and then 75 percent. I told them that I am keen to get them to 75 percent. They must put in the necessary infrastructure to refine platinum by the end of next year, in the case of Zimplats which is already doing 50 percent. So on platinum we are okay and on diamonds we are on course," said Minister Chinamasa.
On gold, measures to increase production of gold and marketing of value added products have also started bringing rewards. Minister Chinamasa hopes increased chrome ore exports which resumed three weeks ago will contribute significantly to economy growth. "So I am expecting to see exports of chrome ore contributing meaningfully not only to the fiscus but also to growth," said Minister Chinamasa.

Guest Post: Creation of Personal Reality by Eugenia OganovaBy Quirkybibliophile @qbibliophile
Each person perceives reality differently because each of us is unique (genetically, psychologically, emotionally, karmically).
Our personal reality is created through the way that we see life. It is based on previous experiences, beliefs we hold, cellular memory, subconscious influences from other lives and much more. And all of this is also affected by our current attitude, the lens through which we choose to view life. This lens triggers emotional responses, thoughts and actions. And since it is our reality, we then attract to us what resonates with our internal perceptions. This is how we create our personal reality:
Genetic/Psychological/Emotional/Karmic make up + Current Attitude/Belief =Emotional Reaction/Thought/Action Creation of Personal Reality (as life mirrors what we have projected out back to us).
Every "personal reality" exists to teach the one who is experiencing it. If we come in contact with someone and their world interferes with ours, it is our lesson now. When we have learned and do not require this lesson anymore, we will either not be triggered by that person, or we will navigate away from them in such a way that they can still have their perception and we can have ours.
The way we perceive life dictates the nature of our personal reality. Our perceptions are influenced by previous experiences, but they can be changed by the means of self-awareness of our inner beliefs about life.
Genetic/Psychological/Emotional/Karmic make up – that we cannot modify;Current Attitude/Belief – that is completely up to us!
As we are learning and evolving from the experiences of life, the current beliefs and attitudes are adjusted to reflect the Higher Self perspective. Even though the initial make up remains the same, our inner changes generate totally different thought patterns, emotional reactions, and actions – and that creates a new Personal Reality!
We all have an inherent ability to shape reality through our concepts/beliefs.Fully embodied knowledge of this is the first step in self-mastery and the creation of a life that we desire.
Article by Eugenia Oganova, based on "Personal Reality" chapterof her book "Awakening the Harmony Within."
Awakening the Harmony Within: How to Create With Spirit by Eugenia Oganova delves much deeper and eliminates the fluff you find in so many books on these topics.For people who want to make a dramatic change in their lives and want the full details on how to make that happen – this is a must have book.

Week 4
Went to school at 8.30am, went to registration then went to get our boots and grey suits. Went to the bus got our stuff on. Lorraine had two students with her, Emma and Paul. When we got there we collected the fire-wood, we made a shelter because the forecast was meant to be poring. We made two good shelters. Me, Amy, Alana, Jessica and Lorraine started finishing of the stairs. We made 4 stairs all together and they are looking really good. The boys made a bench. And that's looking good to. Then we had break. Then the next thing it started chucking it down. We all went into the shelter and started having lunch. After lunch me and amy set up a blind hold course and paul, emma and sean did it. It was really funny. After that we made musical instruments. <3 was a good day again. J
Week 4: I went to school and went to regi and then I went to the learning zone and waited for Lorraine and she came we went on the bus and picked up a guy from tranet his name was Paul then we went to the forest when we got there we changed into our overalls and then we went to our base and put our shelters up because it was raining and really windy and then we all went to the stairs that me, Jessica, Amy and Emma done last week and went back to our base and had our break and then me, Jessica, Amy, Emma and Lorraine went to the finish the stairs and after we done the stairs we went back to the base and had our lunch after lunch we all went to see the stairs and all went to see the seat the guys made and then after that me and Jessica went back to the base and me and Lorraine went out to look for logs and then we went back and i made a flute Amy and Emma went to do a obstacle course and after we made the flutes we went to the obstacle course that Amy and Emma made after that we went back to the base and cleared up and then we changed and then went back to school.

Imagine yourself meeting a gorgeous girl that seems to have come from the pages of a romance novel. She seems perfect in every way... That is, until she opens her beautiful mouth. Once she does, you realize that she either has pwofound twouble with her w's, s-st-tutters, lithpth or cannot speak clearly at all. Basically, you have a downplayed version of Disabled Love Interest.
When the speech impediment is shown to be debilitating (like a severe stutter), it is usually given to a fragile Shrinking Violet who is waiting for her knight in shining armor. Often, though not always, she recovers from the impediment by the end of the story; in this case, that's part of the Adrenaline Makeover with possible Unfortunate Implications because it makes out that a hero wouldn't want a disabled or otherwise "imperfect" love. At other times, though, the impediment serves as an endearing quirk which only adds to the character's charm (it may even be lampshaded in-story). In some cases, the Love Interest may even be unwilling to undergo speech therapy for exactly this reason.
Compare with Cute Mute. An inversion of this trope is a speech-impeded protagonist.
- Inverted in The Anthem of the Heart. The protagonist, Jun, rarely speaks—and sounds squeaky and stuttery when she does—because it gives her severe anxiety attacks, supposedly due to a "curse." (As a child, she believed that her parents' divorce was her fault because she accidentally revealed her father's infidelity, and convinced herself her life would spiral out of control unless she never spoke again.) She starts to open up and discovers that singing avoids the curse when she develops a crush on a boy in her class. Ultimately double-subverted, as well as inverted. He doesn't feel the same about her, not because of her speech issues, but because he's still in love with his old girlfriend. But her personality shift catches the attention of a different guy, who suddenly delivers a Love Confession to her at the end.
- Hinata Hyuga from Naruto had a stutter for a good chunk of her life due to her abusive family and self-confidence issues. By Part II, she stops stuttering so much, even around her crush, Naruto. She completely loses her stutter by the Invasion of Pain arc. She and Naruto finally become an Official Couple in The Last: Naruto the Movie.
- Shoko from A Silent Voice is deaf. Most of the time she uses sign language or writes in a notepad, however when she does speak she has a very pronounced speech impediment. Her Love Confession to Shoya is ruined by him misunderstanding her.
- Played for Laughs in Yo-kai Watch. Blazion can only say "roar". When Flushback makes Blazion flashback to past traumatic events, it's shown that this individual Blazion is the only one with that issue. One of his girlfriends dumped him precisely because inability to speak bored her.
- Genevieve St. James from the eponymous fanfic, a beautiful girl who is the love interest of Sherlock Holmes, has a stammer.
- In The Little Mermaid, Ursula takes Ariel's voice for herself when giving her human legs, which makes it tricky (but not impossible) for Ariel to gain Prince Eric's heart.
- Inverted in Tangled. The protagonist Rapunzel has a small lisp while her love interest Flynn doesn't.
- In Attention Bandits by Claude Lelouch, Marie-Sophie (the main character's daughter) has a stammer. The movie received praise for its positive portrayal of stuttering: it was presented just as a distinctive quirk, rather than a disability or a drawback.
- Irene, the famous writer Dashiell Frank's girlfriend from the movie Mr. Jealousy, also stutters.
- In In the Company of Men Christine, the female main character, is one of the most beautiful girls in the firm. However, she's deaf with a thick, barely intelligible deaf accent and a labored, strained way to speak. Subverted and Played Straight: while someone gets to appreciate her even more because of efforts, most people (including the resident Jerk) pick on her exactly because of that.
- In Pearl Harbor, Goose has a terrible stammer when talking to his girlfriend/love Betty.
- Annie, John Glenn's wife from The Right Stuff, has a severe stutter (Truth in Television actually).
- Judy from Shakes the Clown has rhotacism.
- Smartie, the main character's stuttering love interest, from Young and Dangerous movie series.
- While not the protagonist's love interest, Mag in Breakfast at Tiffany's invokes this with her pronounced stutter. She will exaggerate it, especially in front of men, when it benefits her. Apparently the impediment makes her more appealing.
- In The Commandant by Jessica Anderson, Letty, Patrick Logan's young beautiful wife, has a lisp. It is highly possible that Anderson drew inspiration for this from her own lifelong stammer.
- Horatia from The Convenient Marriage stutters. Her future husband remarks that he likes it.
- Lauren Young from "The Doctor's Flawed Bride with a Lisp" (in the Mail Order Bride series) has both a limp and a lisp.
- Ellen, the protagonist's friend from Gypsy Heiress by Laura London, is a beautiful girl with a small and charming stammer. Robert, the young master of Brockhaven's domain, becomes enamored of her.
- Marta, the attractive 16 year old Mexican girl, from The Hardest Ride by Gordon Rottman is mute due to a brain trauma; the protagonist gradually falls in love with her, and they eventually marry.
- In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Beryl Stapleton has a lisp. She's not English-born and raised, so it might just be an accent.
- Honey from Louise Rennison's novel series The Misadventures of Tallulah Casey has both a lisp and a rhotacism. Which doesn't prevent her from being a boy magnet.
Honey: I know I have a lithp. I lithp and I like it. And boyth theem to like it too!
- In Prairie Preacher series by P. J. Hoge, Savannah got a stutter after a car accident. She marries Harold Effan aka "Kid", one of the protagonists.
- In Reviens by Samuel Benchetrit, the main character falls in love with Suzanne, a pretty stuttering nurse.
- In Tickle Amongst The Cornstalks by Bob Bishop, Lady Charlotte, the series' main beauty, cannot pronounce her r's.
- In The Vow, a Medieval romance by Mary Spencer, Lady Margot le Brun also stutters. Unusually for the genre, her stutter does not disappear or even diminish by the end of the novel.
- Evie Jenner, a shy red-haired beauty from Lisa Kleypas' Wallflowers series, has a stutter. She becomes this in "Devil in Winter" (after a happy marriage, her stutter somewhat diminishes, but never disappears completely).
- Doctor Who: "Forest of the Dead" has a gender-inverted case: while trapped in a simulated world, Donna gets married to a man who has a severe stutter. At the end, she surmises that he was a manifestation of her subconscious perfect mate, i.e. unable to talk back to her. He's actually real, and fails to reconnect with her because he is unable to say her name while being teleported off the planet.
- The novelty song "Little Eefin' Annie" has the singer describe his girlfriend Annie, who is incapable of saying anything without having it preceded by lengthy babbling.
- Ophelia from Hamlet is occasionally played as having a lisp (most notably, she lisped in her mad scenes in the Stanislavski-Craig Moscow Art Theatre production). As believed by some, this was actually intended by Shakespeare, which gives Hamlet's line "You jig and amble, and you lisp" a literal meaning.
- In Fire Emblem Fates, Princess Sakura of Hoshido is a Shrinking Violet who tends to go from stuttering to Suddenly Shouting, and remains as such even if she marries. She can potentially be romanced by the Male Avatar, the first generation Hoshido men (save Ryoma and Takumi) and the two Nohrian Princes, Xander and Leo, in the Golden Path.
- In Katawa Shoujo, the Student Council President Shizune Hakamichi is deaf and tends to talk through others either through a sign language interpreter (her best friend Misha) or, like Shouko above, via writing in notepads. There's just one time where she attempts to actually use her voice and that's during the last sex scene in her path. Hisao is rather surprised and awed.
- Hanako Ikezawa also counts. Due to the trauma of the house fire that scarred her and killed her parents, and the subsequent bullying she received because of said scars, she's an extreme Shrinking Violet whose speech is either stilted, stuttery, or both.
- Ennui GO!: Calixta is a Shrinking Violet that speaks with a stutter. It becomes more noticeable when she's around and/or thinking about her crush/boyfriend Max.
Calixta: *when asked what's her New Year's resolution* I just want to have my first k-k-kiss with Max...
- Bob's Burgers: Tina's main love interest, Jimmy Jr., has a pronounced lisp (in part because of his braces). In "Ain't Miss Debatin'," Tina confesses she has a thing for boys with speech impediments in general.
Gene: She likes 'em not quite a man and hard to understand.
- Inverted in Jem. The protagonist Jerrica mispronounces certain words, mainly "very". She has some Dude Magnet qualities and has two love interests: her sort-of boyfriend Rio who also loves her alter ego Jem (but doesn't know they're the same person), and Riot who loves Jem but not Jerrica.
- Asami from The Legend of Korra has a lisp according to certain scenes. She ends up the Official Couple with Korra.
- The actress Kay Francis, one of Hollywood's top beauties, had a speech impediment which made her pronounce her r's and l's like w's, which added to her Ms. Fanservice appeal.
- Another renowned cinema beauty Marlene Dietrich had a similar speech impediment.
- The 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe stuttered; though she managed to tame her condition onstage (her famous throaty way of speaking was probably a way of hiding the stammer), it resurfaced in her last movie.
- Phyllis Potter, the first wife of Fred Astaire, likewise couldn't pronounce her r's.
- Mary Louise Dowell, a really gorgeous Broadway showgirl◊, was nicknamed "Stuttering Sam" because of her strong speech impediment. She didn't mind her stutter at all, was very popular with the opposite sex, and married in 1944 (reportedly she didn't stutter when she said "I do").
- Elizabeth Inchbald, a 18th century novelist, actress and playwright, known for both her beauty (which surrounded her with admirers) and her severe stutter.
- Another Hollywood beauty Marion Davies had a very noticeable stutter which made her concerned about the transition to sound in movies. Fortunately she didn't stutter onstage, but in everyday life, her stutter never went away.

16 Mar 2012
It's was an energetic morning when we stepped into the office of MindChamps.
Seeing all the staffs wearing the bright red tee-shirt and walking in a fast pace with lots of energy, tells us that there is a dynamic team inside this company. The background music helped to bring up the atmosphere, it seemed like everybody is looking forward to their monthly meeting.
Beacon LOHAS is honored to serve such a dynamic and fun team, helping them in creating happy and healthy lifestyle in their fast pace environment. While waiting patiently outside the meeting room, Li Huan and I heard laughters and cheers, sipping through the tightly closed door.
Laughter and cheers? What an interesting monthly meeting they are having?
What games are they playing?
It triggered the inner child inside me and made me so curious in what is happening.
At the same time, I was looking forward to add value to this fun loving people.
Fifteen minutes later, it's was our turn to be inside the room. We were so privilege to hear Michelle sharing her journey of going through health challenges and how she managed to get well. All this made her treasures her health, her life and people around her.
Her message to her beloved colleagues, "Healthy life is a meaningful life". When she mentioned this, it resonated with my heart, because this is exactly Beacon LOHAS colorful logo means – "life with health is colorful".
Inside my heart, "I have a mission today, to inspire the dynamic people here to take care of themselves better with the simple and effective LOHAS Meridian Self-Therapy techniques".
Many people would have known that MindChamps is a dynamic institute that brings out the genius of our children. They have many fun and effective learning techniques for their student. With that in mind, it's logical to think that any ordinary,mediocre & boring wellness program would not suit the dynamic staffs of this organisation.
As the training provider, we have to match up or even exceed their expectation towards a FUN, INFORMATIVE and PRACTICAL session. And we did it in just 60 minutes!
While explaining the LOHAS Meridian concepts clearly and lively to them, the passionate trainer gets the staffs to participate FULLY, with lots of fun and energy. They lived up to the name of "Power Up Your Health" session, they get to learn useful and very powerful "LOHAS Meridian Exercise Basic", a simple and effective way to energize the body and start the day with more energy.
The Champs there also learnt many useful techniques to manage stress related symptoms, improve respiratory systems (sensitive nose) and immune systems. Of course, some of the simple exercise would help them with better digestion and weight management too.
One of the participants can feel the energy is moving inside him within 5 minutes of practice. Yes! "5 min a day, happy and healthy always" is our motto of the program.
Through out this compact, informative and fun session, participants get to understand their body better and learn some telling sign of their body meridian health status. They get to find many useful body point that helps them to make them healthier (not sick doesn't means healthy yet).
The session ended in a high spirit where all the staffs learnt useful techniques and get their health questions answered by our trainers. Some common issues are related to aches and pains. They also get the chance to clarify for their family members health issue. The trainers were delighted to know that there are such a keen interest in this natural, safe and most cost effective way of stay healthy.
Of course, this is just the first session of "Happy and Healthy at Workplace". Imagine that if they get to practice and learn more of the LOHAS Meridian Self-Therapy techniques on the monthly basis, it would create a healthy and dynamic team for better performance at work.
It also means that the staffs are healthy and productive, which in turns allows them to have more quality time with their family or personal life. This is the vision of Beacon LOHAS employee wellness program. Creating a healthy, balanced work-life.
Beacon LOHAS is not just only your training provider.
We are your SUSTAINABLE HEALTH partner.

Yesterday, with the No. 9 pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, the Miami Marlins selected left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney out of Oklahoma State. Heaney is a junior, and he's expected to fall somewhere between No. 2 and No. 3 starter as he grows into his pro self. Based on recent history, that is a change of direction for Miami's front office.
As Michael Jong of Fish Stripes writes:
The Fish have leaned primarily towards prep pitchers in the first round of the draft, opting for college starters in the second round and beyond. This is evidenced by picks such as the Adam Conley selection in 2011 and the Rob Rasmussen pick in 2010. Neither of these players were highly considered and both were thought of as easy signs for the Fish. In a similar vein, Heaney was looked at as a bit of a reach by both Fish Stripes prospect experts Evans and Eric Weston, but the Marlins ideally will have the ability to sign him easily and get him into their minor league system soon. Overall, it has been six seasons since the Marlins selected a first-round college pitcher, and since 2002, the Fish have only done this twice (Brett Sinkbeil in 2006 and Taylor Tankersley in 2003), both instances to little or no avail.
Jong also notes that the Heaney selection might be a signal of Miami's desire to win now, as they took someone who could be major-league ready soon, rather than a high-ceiling, multi-year project.

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a prevalent hereditary cardiac disorder linked to arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. While the causes of HCM have been identified as genetic mutations in the cardiac sarcomere, the pathways by which sarcomeric mutations engender myocyte hypertrophy and electrophysiological abnormalities are not understood. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying HCM development, we generated patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) from a ten-member family cohort carrying a hereditary HCM missense mutation (Arg663His) in the MYH7 gene. Diseased iPSC-CMs recapitulated numerous aspects of the HCM phenotype including cellular enlargement and contractile arrhythmia at the single-cell level. Calcium (Ca(2+)) imaging indicated dysregulation of Ca(2+) cycling and elevation in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) are central mechanisms for disease pathogenesis. Pharmacological restoration of Ca(2+) homeostasis prevented development of hypertrophy and electrophysiological irregularities. We anticipate that these findings will help elucidate the mechanisms underlying HCM development and identify novel therapies for the disease.
