The next big phase of the tablet market is expected to be in business because employees are dragging in their iPads despite IT managers' objections. Though Apple clearly leads in the consumer market, RIM and HP are stepping up with better business-focused offerings.
Despite Apple's success with customer satisfaction and loyalty, it isn't exactly the favorite among CIOs. While RIM's products play much better among corporate buyers, users consider them substantially less desirable than Apple's. This would suggest that when it comes to tablets, the new RIM PlayBook will be dominant, much like the Blackberry is the dominant business smartphone. Some are discussing a coming price war in this category, and I do think that will happen. But I think HP's Palm-based offering might have the edge.
We tend to forget that the user rules, and Apple's brand in this category is unmatched. By the time RIM and HP bring out their products, Apple will be close to releasing not only the second generation of the 10-inch product, also but a likely 7-inch alternative at a lower price to respond to the competition. Apple's second-generation products will have faster processors, better screens and cameras, and more capacity than current versions at what likely will be premium prices.
On the downside, Apple likely will continue to ignore the wants and needs of CIOs, which means these things will enter companies largely over the objections of the IT department. RIM and HP are working to give folks a choice.
RIM has tried to challenge Apple's iPhone with a variety of products, including its latest offering, the BlackBerry Torch. It has largely failed to give Apple more than a passing concern. While its products are still dominant among business buyers, many of these buyers actually have iPhones for personal use and increasingly favor the iPhone over the BlackBerry.
RIM's shortcomings include poor marketing and support for third-party applications. There's even a problem with the name because the word "play" in PlayBook runs counter to the business image it's trying to project. It sounds like a toy, making it more difficult to distringuish itself from the iPad. RIM needs that advantage because at launch, it's already outmatched with Apple's applications, product volume/distribution, and product maturity. And by releasing the name and basic product description early, the PlayBook will seem old when Apple does a refresh in 2011.
HP: Advantage or Confusion
HP has two products coming to market: a Windows-based offering due late this year and a WebOS (Palm)-based offering coming next year. With better enterprise sales and stronger relationships than Apple has and a better consumer focus than RIM, HP on paper looks to be the dark horse that could steal this race. However, having two offerings could split HP's marketing budget, confuse buyers and overcome its market advantages if they overlap excessively. The Windows-based offering is reported to be a lighter version of the Windows tablet, which has historically only done well in vertical markets to which it is targeted. Though the cost is similar, it's also reported to be underperforming the iPad in performance, weight and battery life. Unless HP can make substantial progress against these disadvantages, it isn't expected to sell in high volumes.
The WebOS-based tablet, however, it is expected to be similar to the second-generation iPad. That means it will have built-in cameras, improved displays and more aggressive prices. Like RIM, it will have issues with applications, but HP has clearly done better with consumer PCs, dominating that market, than RIM has done with consumer phones. HP also has one of the few outdoor-viewable display technologies in the segment and that, used on either product, could provide a significant advantage. Initially, the Palm-based product (iPaq is a brand that HP owns that predates even the iPod) is the product to watch, but if buyers get confused with its Windows offering, or if HP can't differentiate or market the product effectively, HP could have trouble rising to its full potential.
Wrapping Up: What About Android?
Apple is the favored dominant player because it's more focused, was first to market, and has deeper consumer support. While RIM continues to bring out compelling hardware, it tries to beat Apple at its own game rather than shifting the game to RIM's natural advantages. That suggests Apple will easily beat the PlayBook in the market. HP has a decent chance, but confusion over multiple products coupled with its late market entry likely will reduce its opportunities. While there have been a number of products previewed based on Android, none yet stands out as a clear competitor to the iPad except on price, and price alone isn't enough.

The majority of smokers begin smoking in their teens or early twenties. Raising the legal age of access to tobacco to age 21 has the potential to impact positively on future smoking prevalence and health outcomes. This update outlines reasons to consider raising the minimum age, reviews current evidence and public opinion, and provides a snapshot of current Canadian and US legislation in this area.Author(s): Marilyn Pope, Michael Chaiton, and Robert Schwartz

The vice of the modern notion of mental progress is that it is something concerned with the breaking of bonds, the effacing of boundaries, the casting away of dogmas. But if there be such a thing as mental growth, it must mean the growth into more and more definite convictions, into more and more dogmas. The human brain is a machine for coming to conclusions; if it cannot come to conclusions it is rusty.
Man can be defined as an animal that makes dogmas. As he piles doctrine on doctrine and conclusion on conclusion in the formation of some tremendous scheme of philosophy and religion, he is, in the only legitimate sense of which the expression is capable, becoming more and more human. When he drops one doctrine after another in a refined skepticism, when he declines to tie himself down to a system, when he says that he has outgrown definitions, when he says that he disbelieves in finality, when, in his own imagination, he sits as God, holding no form of creed but contemplating all, then he is by that very process sinking slowly backwards into the vagueness of the vagrant animals and the unconsciousness of the grass.
- G. K. Chesterton, 'Heretics'
This also is true:
Our mental superiority over the animals is perhaps largely due to the fact that we never develop certain characteristics found in most adult animals. Our behaviour is less determined by instinct, that is to say inborn reaction patterns, and we are more teachable. A large proportion of mankind, after a more or less human childhood, become almost unteachable. The know what is right in politics, religion, art, and human behaviour. They are the pillars of Church and State. Perhaps they are a social necessity. But they have grown out of a large part of their humanity. And I sometimes feel that it would be more appropriate if they were hairy all over.
- J. B. S. Haldane, 'Possibilities of Human Evolution'
Ideally, we don't make up the rules. And we don't follow the rules. We try to figure out the best possible framework within which we can figure out the rules. Walk the line, gentle readers, walk the line!

Happy-go-lucky leprechauns are solitary faeries who prefer to avoid contact with mortals and fellow fey alike, suspecting plots to either steal their gold or embroil them in some strenuous activity or revelry.
This is a brief addition to the Faery's Tale system allowing leprechauns as a new playable race. It contains background information, two new gifts and character creation guidelines.

For over 30 years, a small fitness club in a Washington, D.C., suburb has grown into a jump rope team of 150 members. Known as the Kangaroo Kids, team members range in age from 6 to 26. They participate in local shows and regional jump rope competitions, and 15 of them will be part of the official United States team at the World Jump Rope Championship this July in South Africa. As Faith Lapidus tells us in this report by VOA's Faiza Elmasry, the Kangaroo Kids are helping redefine the sport with innovative tricks that combine exercise and dance.
With two of their teammates turning two ropes, two kids jump into the interweaving arcs and start Double Dutch bouncing. That's just one of the moves the Kangaroo Kids do while jumping rope… along with back flips, handstands and much more. Team Coach Jim McCleary says the kids showcase those moves at local competitions. They have to display their skills in an assortment of styles.
"We have like 9,10,11 different events in one day with speed, power, Double Dutch, free style and pairs," he says. "Then toward the end, we do a large group team show where they do some things with choreographed music. They mix all the different things and long ropes, all that in one 4-minute-show."
The Kangaroo Kids also compete in the International Rope Skipping Federation's competition known as "The Worlds."
"Since 1999, we've been going to the World Championships," he says. "In Canada, two years ago, we took about 15 jumpers. And all the 15 members that went won a medal of some type."
Scott Simpson, 17, won the silver medal that year and placed second in the senior masters Division. "Winning second when I was only 15 at the time was really a big deal for me." he says.
Jumping rope competitively over the last 11 years has been fun, but Simpson says it's also helped him develop skills and confidence.
"We're constantly turning upside down, turning around," he says. "It takes balance, agility, strength and spatial dynamics. I feel so comfortable going out and performing in front of tens of thousands of people, because I do it all the time. I learn leadership skills and how to work with different people."
Simpson also coaches younger jumpers and helps create new tricks and choreography. "I will choose pieces of music and make up my own routines," he says.
Jumping to music usually gives the routine a special style, according to Scott's mother, Kathy Simpson, who volunteers as a jump rope judge.
"Some kids choose to just have a background music," she says. "That's going to detract from their score. But if their steps and their movement across the floor is choreographed to the music, that just raises the score."
Her daughter, Amy, is also on the Kangaroo Kid's Worlds team that's going to compete this summer in South Africa. Amy says the Worlds is an opportunity for different teams to learn from one anther.
"People from Japan do a lot of break dancing more in their routines," she says. "The European teams have their own style of jumping. It's fun to see each different group adapts to the sport."
Amy and the other members of the World's team are currently practicing almost 20 hours a week. Their parents are always around, offering encouragement and preparing for the upcoming competition. Robin Madden, whose 15-year-old son Eli is on the team, says the trip to South Africa will cost between $3,000 and $4,000 per person.
"What the team decided to do is we formed a fundraising committee," she says. "And the committee has gone out to local businesses and people who might donate to us. We've gotten some very nice feedback."
She says many of the Kangaroo Kids' families have decided to travel with the team on this trip, to support the kids and the sport.
"They are trying to do some outreach where they go into townships to teach jump rope to some of the kids in South Africa," she says.
The Kangaroo Kids hope they will do more than come home with medals and recognition for their performance. They want to leave behind new jump rope enthusiasts, so they'll be promoting jump rope as an inexpensive sport that can help kids everywhere stay active and healthy.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams sees signs that worker earnings are beginning to rise, though he still believes wage growth remains muted. "We are seeing some reports of uptick in wage growth relative to that 2% norm," Williams said in an interview with the Fox Business Network on Friday. Wage growth is seen by many Fed officials as a key indicator of progress in the Fed's mandates of achieving full employment and stable inflation. Williams said he sees the Fed's first rate hike occurring in the middle of 2015, with a gradual move higher from there. Williams is not a voting member of the Fed policy committee this year.

New York City Update: The Best New Spots
We just spent 72-hours in the city—and ate and shopped our way through as many neighborhoods as possible. Here, the new-ish spots we're most excited about.
Dover Street Market160 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill | 646.837.7750
Spanning seven narrow stories in Murray Hill (yes, Murray Hill), Dover Street Market is like a fair funhouse for fashion: Every nook, cranny, and balcony is lined with some of the most inspiring shopping set dressing in New York City. You'd expect nothing less from Rei Kawakubo, the founder of Comme des Garçons, who has an eye for the most cutting-edge labels around. Like its counterparts in London and Tokyo, DSM boasts a Rose Bakery, making this the sort of place where you can literally spend five hours.
La Garconne465 Greenwich St., Tribeca | 646.553.3303
Slick and all-white, the loft-y space is dotted with wooden racks, filled with all the greatest hits from the popular website, including cutting-edge tailoring from Yohji Yamamoto, Grecian dresses from Zero + Maria Cornejo, and feminine skirts and dresses from Simone Rocha.
Sharktooth111 Grand St., Williamsburg | 718.451.2233
Devoted solely to antique textiles—from overdyed quilts, to Khamseh and Turkish Milas rugs—the pieces here are clearly hard-won, and very reasonably priced considering their quality and provenance. Whether redecorating, or just hunting for ideas, this is one of those spots that offers inspiration in spades.
Calliope349 West 12th St., West Village | 646.517.2948
This light-filled furniture and interiors shop is the making of creative duo Michael and Caroline Ventura. Offering a mix of what the Venturas themselves would buy, from Mid-Century modern furniture, and collectible magazines to global antique rugs (for which they just launched an online store). The store is also a showroom for Caroline's jewelry line, BRVTVS and furniture that they make after-hours. (And an interesting note: The store is located in the same West Village building that houses their apartment, Caroline's jewelry studio, Michael's creative agency, Sub Rosa, and a connected rental space called And & And.)

Dear Friends,
Job lived in God's world, spent time in God's waiting room, and found out that it was all part of God's will. It is God's will that we live in the right way in a world gone wrong, and we can't do that unless we understand a little of God's plan. Job talked about the plan of God. He believed with all of his heart that there was one.
When trouble comes to you, it can often seem as if confusion reigns and there are no orderly workings anywhere in the whole universe. And yet Job insisted there was a plan. When someone messes up your plans, it's a great joy to believe no one can mess up God's plan for you!
What do we mean by "God's plan"? It's the same as His will – what He wants to happen. It's what He has in mind. The apostle Paul told us that God's will is "good, and acceptable, and perfect" (Rom. 12:2), but therein lies the trouble. How can you possibly believe you are in God's will and that it is good when you are nursing a terminally ill patient, standing in horror in the killing fields of Cambodia, or reading about the genocide in Rwanda? What's good, perfect, or acceptable about any of that? What's good, perfect, and acceptable about a marriage that ends, a child who goes off the deep end, or a church that splits?
The only logical conclusion you can come to is that we must be talking about something else when we talk about the good, perfect, and acceptable will of God. Again, in Philip Yancey's words, we mustn't "confuse life with God."
First of all, we need to believe that God is an orderly God, that He does have a purpose, and that His purpose hasn't changed. He is a purposeful God. He is not haphazard or random. His universe works like heavenly clockwork. There are laws of nature in the universe that the life of other worlds depends on, and the Bible claims that God wrote, implements, and controls those laws. In the same way, the laws of human behavior that God has ordained will bring order to the chaos of our relationships if we let Him control us. He has a purpose and plan for the creatures of His universe as surely as He has a plan for that universe.
Second, God has the power to maintain the created order of things that submit to His control. He is omniscient and omnipotent and "all things were created by Him and for Him" (Col. 1:16). There is an overarching purpose for it all: that all of creation brings glory to the Creator, and rightly so. When we order our lives according to the God of order, good and glory are the results.
Third, it is God's plan that everything out of control be brought into subjection to Him to honor and praise His name. What, then, does He have in mind for the wicked and for this world gone mad? A plan of renewal, regeneration, and redemption. This plan includes that creatures having a free will – namely, human beings like us – willingly accept His way to that renewal or reflect it. One way or another God's plan is, in the end, a new heaven and a new earth (Rev. 21:1), where righteousness dwells and where all who plan to be part of His plan will live together in harmony. To this end, all things are working together for that ultimate good (Rom. 8:28).

Last year, readers were introduced to Gena Showalter's FIRSTLIFE, a book set in a world where life begins after death. The star of the book, Tenley "Ten" Lockwood, is only 17, but has spent the last year of her life in an insane asylum --- not because of a mental instability, but because she has refused to allow her parents to choose where she will live after she dies. You see, in the Everlife, your Firstlife is only a dress rehearsal for what comes after, and Ten is caught in the middle of a deadly battle for her soul. With two powerful, but deadly, realms fighting over her, Ten must stay alive long enough to make the right choice. Now, Showalter returns with LIFEBLOOD, the explosive sequel where we reunite with Ten, who must learn about her chosen realm from the ground up --- all while struggling to launch her first mission. In celebration of the release of LIFEBLOOD, Teen Board member Isabel C. had the chance to ask Gena a few questions about the Everlife series, her favorite characters, and where the series will go next.

text: New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday hailed as a victory of democracy the ruling of the Uttarakhand High Court setting aside the imposition of President's Rule in the state. "Congress is proud of Indian democracy and the judicial system to whom alone and aggrieved citizens of the country can turn for relief at a time of crisis," party spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said at a press conference at the party headquarters here after the court verdict. Singhvi, who was also the lawyer of ousted Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat in this case, asserted that the ruling of the court has reinstated the position of the state assembly to what it was on March 27 -- the day President's Rule was imposed. "The court has ordered a floor test on April 29," Singhvi said, adding that this is the first time in the history of Indian democracy that a live and operational Article 356 (for President's Rule) has been quashed by a court of law. Singhvi also insisted that the nine rebel Congress legislators continue to remain disqualified as their petition against the decision of the speaker of Uttarakhand assembly has also been quashed. Uttarakhand Speaker Govind Singh Kunjwal had disqualified nine congress legislators who along with the BJP lawmakers had signed a memorandum against the Harish Rawat government last month, leading to a crisis. Terming the imposition of President's Rule an assault on federalism, Singhvi said, ''this judgement (passed by Uttarakhand High Court) tells us that those eyeing either Himachal Pradesh or Manipur or other Congress ruled states with greedy eyes must control their greed and understand that power is available only through democratic means and not the misuse of article 356." "The governor had sent three messages in writing till March 26 that a floor test is scheduled on March 28. To that the chief minister had written back twice that he was ready for the floor test as per governor's directions," he said, insisting that it was the first time in the history that President's rule was imposed when a chief minister was ready for the floor test. Singhvi also informed that the Congress party has filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court pre-empting the central government's decision to move the apex court to get a stay on the high court's decision in this case.

Synopsis (from Goodreads): Nothing has gone according to Princess Sarita's plan. From near drowning to almost plummeting off the side of a mountain, she has had to face many obstacles that have dared to come between her and her quest for magic. Unfortunately, the challenge she must face now is the desires of her own heart. A crazy scheme could be the answer to everyone's dreams or the end of them...Set sail for Song of Sorrows, Book Three of the Songs of Everealm Series!
Song of Sorrows is the third book in the Songs of Everealm series and shouldn't be read as a standalone. The previous two books in the Songs of Everealm series are a must, I would also recommend reading the previous series Everealm, as many of the characters have roles in that series too (plus it's an awesome series!) This review may contain minor spoilers for previous books in the series.
I've been looking forward to this book since the moment I finished Song of Sparrows, and I'm looking forward to the next one which I need right now! Wright really knows how to drag you into the story, and even when things are going well for a character or a couple, you know that there is something more that may happen.
One of the things I really love about this book, and this series, is that while there are strong romance storylines in them, there is also a big focus on friendship. Both the male and female characters have strong bonds with their friends and they don't let that be confined by status or gender (i.e. Sarita and Oliver are good friends despite being a Princess and a Squire and not remotely interested in each other romantically).
Most of the couples in this book were preestablished (but not necessarily together). Sarita and Cassidy are probably the most notable in the fact that technically they've never been a couple, but they have spent a decade loving each other (it is both cute and lets-bang-their-heads-together at the same time, but it makes great reading). Jake and Calista spent most of the last book arguing (but this book really moves their relationship forward) and Gabby has been avoiding Oliver since the end of the last book.
The "new" couple in the book, Jolene and Garrison, were definitely a highlight. I say "new" because they were both pre-existing characters, and if I'm honest I didn't like Garrison much at all (through no real fault of his own, he got in between a long standing couple), but this really made me warm up to him. Their growing friendship and understanding between them makes their story highly enjoyable.
This book, and series, involves romance, magic and adventure. The characters are complex and the friendships believable...what's not to love!

Lens is a hard hitting movie with sheer raw content. India is the land of Kamasutra. But sexual crimes happen every day n every moment comparitively higher than few western countries where everything is open. Here instead of following the practices of our ancestors (don't ask me what practices), we Indians impose restrictions on ourselves and even talking about sex becomes related to one's character leaving most of the people moving towards porn sites, and what is really happening inside every man is unknown even for his near and dears.
Arvind, a normal man whom we see in everyday life indulges in Voyeurism (An act of obtaining sexual pleasure by watching porns, seeing other's sexual activities, sexual chats...). In the name of business and privacy he spends time inside locked doors. Even his wife never has a clue about what's going inside. The movie starts straight showing a frustrated wife with a girl kid, approaching her husband at midnight that is inside another closed room where a note sticked on it as "Knock the door ". When she shouts at him the reply comes as "...with U.S clients online...." But the next scene tells us what is in store...Arvind video chatting with a girl with his pants n underwear down and same on the other side.
Another friend request comes for Arvind in Facebook from a girl and he immediately accepts it and when the girl wants to chat with him, he starts his usual act. But there lies the trap which was cleverly laid by Yohan who catches Arvind with all the evidence of Voyeurism with all his brain.
What happens after that will hit most men hard and hard. The movie will shake u and make u speechless till the very end.
What makes "Lens" a great watch is it's never before content and the way the Director cum Hero Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan scripted and shot each n every moment of the movie which easily relates to most of the viewers. The unknown faces of the movie worked extremely well as we see them purely as characters and not as actors.
In the era of "SUCHI LEAKS " this movie comes as a slap on each n everyone's face who not only seeing other's private videos but unpardonably criticising them for their act instead of being shameful of themselves by intruding in other's bedroom.
"LENS" shows how the fast developing technologies like Mobile cameras, internet, social media, spy cameras makes people easily access to anything and everything and your bedroom could be watched by anyone and that anyone is no need to be a Physco or criminal but people around you who moves along with you and near you as very very normal people driven by sexual urges. It clearly showcases how Easy access to porn sites and social media like YouTube and face book shows its ugly face and can become a hell to you just with a tap of a button of a gadget which can intrude your bedrooms and bathrooms.
And the biggest strength of "Lens" is, it is never preachy even in a single scene. No advices, No preachy dialogues but what happens on screen shows the agony and pain of a woman who falls as a victim of such Voyeurism and reveals the faces of sex driven men.
The Director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan who also acts as Arvind should be highly applauded and to be celebrated for taking this subject and presenting it with sheer brilliance and making a heavy impact on viewers. He not only touches the viewer's conscience but impacted it with guilt and fear.
The most shattering scene was when Julie, the Victim who can't speak shows her suicide notes in front of the recording camera. Those words make us speechless and hit the viewer's inner conscience very very hard. The impact was huge and we can't imagine a better way to show how the victim feels. It's amazing that the director has shown his female lead as a woman who can't speak but can understand. Her acts bluntly reflect her mentality which is beyond words and can never ever able to explain through dialogues. With an "A" certified tag the director could have gone further intent but he didnt.
The intent of the director is clear. Most of the men indulge in Voyeurism but whats the limit. Is watching porn sites normal? Is going beyond that and capturing other's sexual activities is abnormal? And going even beyond that and capturing even friend's wife is a Physcic disorder ? If so, what will you name those who don't stop with that and going further extreme and uploading in porn sites and YouTube .
A Video once uploaded can never be stopped completely from people viewing it even if it is removed. The problem is not with gadgets but it lies in people's mind. The extraordinary interest shown in intruding other's bedrooms and spreading it and pushing the victim in to hell should be changed. No advice or preachments can bring the change. It should come within and if not then who knows even your wife can become a victim in future.
This is the warning and not message given by the director bluntly and boldly with crystal clear script. Hats off to Jayprakash Radhakrishnan and he deserves a standing ovation for this outstanding and extraordinary movie. And thanks Vetri Maran for releasing it .
LENS - Strictly not for Children and those who expect mass masalas. But A MUST...MUST..WATCH FOR ADULTS and those who crave for brilliant film making and intense contents.
My Rating - 4 / 5

Tamil Nadu celebrates Karthigai Deepam as the conventional celebration. It is an exceptionally old celebration and is likewise celebrated in the neighboring states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. This celebration is exceptionally vital among the Tamils and each Tamil need to commend it wherever they are in this immense world.
Legends of Karthigai Deepam:
The most punctual Hindu scripture states that the two incredible divinities of Hindu society Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma began battling among them with respect to the prevalence.
They both thought every one was stronger than the other. To stop this colossal battle, Lord Shiva came before them and attempted to show his matchless quality. He took the state of a tremendous fire and tested the two battling Gods to discover the end of the flame from the top and base. Master Vishnu took the type of a hog and attempted to achieve the end of the flame underneath the earth.
He fizzled wretchedly and returned to Lord Shiva saying that he was unable to discover the end of the blaze from the lowest part. Ruler Brahma then again, took the state of a swan and traveled to discover the start of the flame on the topside.
Be that as it may his inquiry was additionally futile and he was unable to discover the highest point of the blaze. Accordingly, Lord Shiva demonstrated his amazingness over the two Gods and figured out how to stop the battle. Master Shiva really demonstrated that he is the fundamental God of the earth and there is no utilization in battling in addition to different Gods with respect to their matchless quality. He then showed up like mound shape on Thiruvannamalai area.
Truth be told, the names Tiruvannamalai' and `arunachala' indicate "heavenly fire mound". Later on the rulers and well known staff based a sanctuary on the mount in celebration of Lord Shiva. This celebration is praised with incredible wonder in this specific spot.

Age, Energy, Privacy and Morals
This evening is the Unconference here at AASL. It starts at 9PM and lasts until midnight.
I started a 5AM. My guess is I will not last until midnight.
Not that many years ago, a midnight end to a conference would an early night.
In experience, most morally questionable activities tend to be committed late at night. So as my bedtime gets earlier, my opportunities, temptations, and need for privacy/secrecy diminish. This may be why I am less concerned about privacy issues than some of younger colleagues. No one has yet to respond to my question:
Why do we as humans value privacy so highly?" One doesn't need to be a criminal or a pervert to still not want all of one's life in the public eye. The need for privacy is at a gut level, an inalienable right, and must have some primitive survival component behind it. But what are the tangible benefits of choosing what to share - and what to keep to oneself?
While I don't keep the "location" services turned on for most of my phone apps, I have yet to discover a concrete reason I should not.
The age/energy continuum may also explain why it seems people become more judgmental the older they become. My guess is that they condemn the things they not longer have the energy to participate in themselves. Personally, I don't think I behave better because I've gone older, wiser, and more ethical - I just don't have the energy to be bad. Being bad is usually a lot of work and just takes more energy than I care to expend anymore. I save my energy for more important things like breathing and remaining upright.
They're my theories and I'm sticking with them.
Oh, any Facebook or Twitter from tonight's event that include me were Photoshopped.

Over the years, the advent of computer network has disclosed abundant benefits of net commerce. We as well see a organic process of many a system merchandising corporation terminated the computer network and every of the top framework commercialism companies such as Amway and Quixtar have settled themselves biddable credentials completed this time.
Many amalgamated a gridiron merchandising labor just of the economic cause which in general ended up near depression.

So I finished some projects over the weekend, (I'll show you all soon) and I needed to start something new, because I don't have enough half finished things lying around here!
A little wandering around Ravelry on Saturday evening and I was grabbing my thread and hook to make a miniature, well you all know that 20cm might just be too big right?

Oh, but there are lots of little pieces to this thing,

The morning routine.
journal writing.
Tell me, dear ones,
do you keep a journal?
If you don't,
I hope you'll think about taking it up.
It's infinitely good for the soul.
Thank you so much for visiting,
and thank you for being you.
I love your little morning routine. I used to journal quite a lot, but it was at night...my mind and heart are so much more aware after the sun goes down for some reason. I wish I was more of a morning person for so many reasons...being able to journal in the a.m. is now added to the list.
Toast and jam is looking and sounding pretty good about right now...
Have a wonderful weekend D...
xo J~

inexpensive "dry" curry for anyone who would like to change up their typical midweek menu! The list of ingredients may seem long, but it's just a simple teaspoon, here and there, to taste.
My husband loved how the house smelled and decided he wanted the curry over rice as opposed to quinoa, which was my choice. I happened to have Saffron Jasmine Rice! Also, after stirring the curry, he mentioned more sauce would be more to his liking. No problem! I added 1 small can of tomato paste and thinned down with vegetable broth and additional Indian spices! Mmmmm!
Aloo Gobi Curry
(adapted from Forks Over Knives, pg 179)
1 medium Yellow Onion, peeled & diced
Ginger (1 T of fresh grated or 1/2 t ground)
2 cloves Garlic, peeled & minced
Small Jalapeño, seeded & minced
|Thanks to friends for the garden tomatoes!
2 medium Tomatoes, diced (I used a can of diced toms + fresh garden toms)
1 medium head Cauliflower, cut/plucked into florets
1 lb Potatoes, 1/2" dice or coarse chunks
1 teaspoon ground Cumin
1 teaspoon ground Coriander
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric (which gives the curry it's beautiful color)
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground Cloves (Don't skip this ingredient - It's the deal maker!)
2 Bay Leaves
Salt, to taste
optional: 1 small can Tomato Paste
optional: Vegetable Broth
optional: Cilantro, coarse chopped
- Sauté onion over medium heat; 7-10 mins
- Add ginger, garlic and jalapeño; 3-5 mins
- Add tomato, cauliflower, potatoes, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, turmer, cloves and bay leaves. Cook, covered for 10 mins, until veggies are tender.
- **IF you choose a wet curry, add the tomato paste and thin with vegetable broth. Simmer for 3-5 mins.
- Remove the bay leaves. Serve over rice or fave grain.
Remember, cooking is a subjective taste with an objective of enjoying your meal. You know your taste and the preferences of your family... Go play with your food!

Whether you have been injured in an accident, on the job, or denied Social Security Disability, you can count on our experienced attorneys to be dedicated to your case and focused on getting you all of the money you deserve.
The Jay Trucks & Associates' office staff was amazing. Shelly and Sarah kept me informed and up-to-date, and were very compassionate and caring. The office and attorneys handled both my worker's compensation and Social Security Disability claims. Nice job, with the positive conclusion to both. (The only thing I would have wished for was a sped up timeline, but that was on the Defendants and not Jay Trucks' office.) Thank you again for all your help and assistance.

Product Description
This is a remarkable book as it is a translation of an account written by the author Ernst Raubitschek soon after World War Two. As the title suggests it tells of his journey to Dachau concentration camp, his stay there and subsequent journey to Buchenwald concentration camp after Kristallnacht and before the outbreak of war.
It has been translated by Ernst's daughter Renate Yates. She has included a preface telling of a happy and full life prior to these traumatic events and a postscript describing their emigration to Australia and the new life this family made for themselves in a new country.
The detailed descriptions written in this account stand as testament to the abhorrent behaviour, cruelty and antisemitism to which Austrian Jews were subjected even before the start of the war.

New, The Dohgon Number Multiplication System
AfRAkans, have you noticed the many amazing things that's been happening among our youth? In England a AfRAkan family has the smartest kids in the country with three children becoming the youngest to pass the country's college level math exam. In America Black children as young as 10 and 12 year old are being accepted into several colleges. One 16yr old girl has even gained a college degree before she has even graduated from high school. Another amazing 8 year old girl is able to speak 7 languages so far.
Wow! Our children are waking up but it's not a coincidence as others would have us believe. There is a reason why this is happening and there is a way that you can assist this process. All the cases involve close interaction between parent and child in the form of home schooling. When parents pay closer attention and are interactive in their children's learning great things are bound to happen, as is evident by the examples above.
Education is the process of acquiring knowledge and learning to navigate reality through application. Without the proper applications for specific tasks reality would be difficult and frustrating to navigate. It's like having a computer and not knowing how to use it. Every parent would love their children to be smart but not everyone is equipped or has the knowledge to help their child. At the Dohgon University of Thought we can give you the tools and show you how to use them.
Professor MOmOh, the man who home schooled his own son and helped him to achieve his PHD at age 25, has developed a new learning system that is designed to help your child awaken his or her hidden talents. This new system involves associating numbers, colors, and the alphabet. He knows that the Mind is different from the Brain and while the Brain works with physical matter, the Mind works with abstract energy.
Using the Dohgon Multiplication Number Wheel System your child will learn to think faster because he/she will eliminate the associating process. Natural Numbers are closer to abstract energy than the alphabet while colors lie in between. By learning how to associate all three your child will learn how to transfer the physical energy that arrives through the senses more quickly into abstract energy so their Minds can apply their applications at a faster rate.

Cast Iron Deep Rectangular Pan
Product Description
This product is coated with a natural oil finish, giving it a distinct advantage over most other cast iron products. As a result of this finish, it is safe to apply heat even without anything inside. Most cast iron products feature an interior that is coated with paint, making them highly prone to peeling when in use and during washing when using abrasive cleaning agents. In contrast, the natural oil finish makes the product resistant to rust and able to withstand extremely high temperatures. Cooking at a higher temperature will result in water extremely quickly, thereby preventing sogginess.
Natural oil finish is a relatively new technology that utilizes flaxseed and linseed oil. The vessel is first fired in extremely high temperature (500 to 600°C or 932 to 1202°F) to create a natural anti-rust finish. It is then coated in a mixture of flaxseed oil, linseed oil and bamboo charcoal and then refired to for additional protection.

Asus has released more details about its upcoming eReaders. Not too surprisingly, Asus will be selling two separate models: a high end device and a budget reader. The budget reader is to be called the Eee Reader in keeping with Asus' popular line of netbooks. Like the Eee PC, the Eee Reader will compete using a low cost, no frills approach.
The high end reader, on the other hand, seems to be the complete opposite. Pictured here (as a conceptual design), the eReader will have 2 screens and open like a conventional book. This could be a way to help facilitate the jump to digital for dead tree diehards, but I think it would look and feel a bit strange. What's more, the hinge only seems to be the tip of the iceberg. From the article:
Unlike current ebook readers, which take the form of a single flat screen, the Asus device has a hinged spine, like a printed book. This, in theory, enables its owner to read an ebook much like a normal book, using the touchscreen to "turn" the pages from one screen to the next. It also gives the user the option of seeing the text on one screen while browsing a web page on the other. One of the screens could also act as a virtual keypad for the device to be used like a laptop. Whereas current ebook readers have monochrome screens, the Asus would be full colour. The maker says it may also feature "speakers, a web cam and a mic for Skype", allowing cheap phone calls over the Internet.
This looks like a horrific example of feature creep. Asus could build and sell a touchscreen laptop, but it would be foolish to market it as an eBook reader. The success of the Kindle, and monochrome eInk in general, shows that a device needs to focus on what it does best and then leave it at that. If someone is looking to buy an eReader with Skype functionality, they are going to just buy a netbook, tablet PC, or smart phone instead.

Nonexplosive and explosive magma/wet-sediment interaction during emplacement of Eocene intrusions into Cretaceous to Eocene strata, Trans-Pecos igneous province, West Texas
Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research

- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Eocene intrusion of alkaline basaltic to trachyandesitic magmas into unlithified, Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) to Eocene fluvial strata in part of the Trans-Pecos igneous province in West Texas produced an array of features recording both nonexplosive and explosive magma/wet-sediment interaction. Intrusive complexes with 40Ar/39Ar dates of ~ 47-46??Ma consist of coherent basalt, peperite, and disrupted sediment. Two of the complexes cutting Cretaceous strata contain masses of conglomerate derived from Eocene fluvial deposits that, at the onset of intrusive activity, would have been > 400-500??m above the present level of exposure. These intrusive complexes are inferred to be remnants of diatremes that fed maar volcanoes during an early stage of magmatism in this part of the Trans-Pecos province. Disrupted Cretaceous strata along diatreme margins record collapse of conduit walls during and after subsurface phreatomagmatic explosions. Eocene conglomerate slumped downward from higher levels during vent excavation. Coherent to pillowed basaltic intrusions emplaced at the close of explosive activity formed peperite within the conglomerate, within disrupted Cretaceous strata in the conduit walls, and within inferred remnants of the phreatomagmatic slurry that filled the vents during explosive volcanism. A younger series of intrusions with 40Ar/39Ar dates of ~ 42??Ma underwent nonexplosive interaction with Upper Cretaceous to Paleocene mud and sand. Dikes and sills show fluidal, billowed, quenched margins against the host strata, recording development of surface instabilities between magma and groundwater-rich sediment. Accentuation of billowed margins resulted in propagation of intrusive pillows into the adjacent sediment. More intense disruption and mingling of quenched magma with sediment locally produced fluidal and blocky peperite, but sufficient volumes of pore fluid were not heated rapidly enough to generate phreatomagmatic explosions. This work suggests that Trans-Pecos Texas may be an important locale for the study of subvolcanic phreatomagmatic processes and associated phenomena. Eocene intrusions in the study area underwent complex interactions with wet sediment at shallow levels beneath the surface in strata as old as Maastrichtian, which must have remained unlithified and rich in pore water for ~ 20-25??Ma. ?? 2009 Elsevier B.V.

If you could increase your profits by improving the health, wholeness and happiness of your employees and organization would you?
