healthy yet sweetly satisfying alternative to high fat desserts,
caramelized grilled fruit provides a tasty ending to your festivities.
Our recipe calls for melons and pineapple, but substitute your favorite
fresh ripe fruit in season, including apricots, figs, peaches,
nectarines, papayas and mangos.
2 cups pineapple juice3/4 cup orange juice1/2 cup apple cider vinegar1/3 cup lime juice2 tablespoons finely chopped mint1 ripe honeydew melon, halved and seeded1 ripe cantaloupe melon, halved and seeded24 (6-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunksCanola oil
Combine pineapple juice, orange juice and vinegar in a
saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium
low and simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 25 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup
of the juice mixture into a small bowl; set aside to cool, then stir in
lime juice and mint. Set remaining glaze aside in saucepan.
Using a melon ball cutter, scoop out enough melon balls from the
honeydew and cantaloupe to measure 4 cups total or cut melons into 2- x
1-inch pieces. Thread each skewer with fruit, alternating honeydew,
pineapple, and cantaloupe and leaving about 3/4-inch of the skewer
exposed at the blunt end. (Wrap this end with foil to prevent burning.)
Preheat grill to 375°F (a medium hot fire). Arrange skewers on a
lightly oiled grill grate and grill until golden brown and slightly
charred, brushing fruit all over with reserved glaze in saucepan during
the last 30 seconds of cooking. Remove and discard foil, then arrange
kebobs on individual serving plates and drizzle with reserved
pineapple-mint glaze. Serve immediately.

We've had a busy, enjoyable weekend and managed to start our Christmas present shopping too!
On Saturday we were up and out early as the sky cleared and headed to Rode Hall Farmers Market at Scholar Green. It was the first time my lovely hubby had been able to come with me and he was amazed how popular it is as we joined the queue of cars heading down the long drive to the Hall and grounds.
The market was already packed and buzzing helped along by the mistletoe man's good spirits and that of other stall holders as they were busy with Christmas shoppers. There were bakers, farmers, butchers, cheesemakers, brewers, English wine, wreaths and weavers.
We met a lovely young lady from Singapore selling different flavoured teas presented in beautiful little tins and we also met an enthusiastic young couple called Adam and Marinha who own the Delicious Sauce company. The sauces are truly delicious and contain no additives, are gluten free and no added sugar either. We've already enjoyed some of our Chilli Jelly and look forward to buying from them again.
The Wincle Brewery stall was popular with the men and they were keen to tell people about their location and water source as well as the variety of their beers.
We headed back to the car loaded up with goodies but were glad we have a 4 x 4 as others struggled to get off the boggy fields and we drove off easily without the tow that others required later in the day.
From there we drove round Cheshire searching for a container grown Christmas tree. We had a stop off at the Kenyon Hall Farm cafe for some home made soup on our drive. I should have done some research on the Internet before we set off as it became a bit of a tour but finally we found what we wanted – albeit a little smaller than planned we hope we can nurture our little tree – our first real one for years – and replant it to reuse again in the future. Fingers crossed on that one!
The evening was shared with my son and daughter in law who cooked us a lovely dinner of steak with a mushroom and mustard cream sauce, rosti potatoes and spinach and I provided a Nutella Cheesecake for dessert.
On Sunday we visited my parents for lunch and got their Christmas tree set up for them. We had the Christmas music on with them and were watching their garden with interest as they have had a group of moorhens return for the fourth winter. Until they had them in the garden I didn't know that they roost in trees – I thought the were like ducks and had to sleep on the ground!
We headed home to see my stepson who always arrives on one of his bikes – even in this frosty weather. He is cycling mad and always planning his next cycling trip!
We weren't over hungry by this point in the weekend but enjoyed our Mrs Bourne's mature Cheshire with chilli jelly, olives, stuffed peppers and crackers for supper.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd love to share a story with you, a personal story. But be warned, not only does it involve the topic of dreams, but it also has a heaping dose of hope. I know, I know, dreams and hope. It sounds like the title to a Lifetime movie about a girl named Hope who dreams about overcoming the fact that she's in a Lifetime movie. But this is an important story for me to share, and it won't take very long to tell.
Are you still here?
Cool. Allow me to start.
And The Oscar Goes To…
When I was a child, I didn't dream of becoming a famous singer… I did dream about becoming a famous filmmaker and writer, and practiced my Oscar speech a few dozen times before I hit my teens, but surprisingly, music was something that came about naturally and without many expectations. It was simply something I really liked doing.
Fast forward a decade and some change, and I'm a ridiculously famous singer and filmmaker who has shelves full of Oscars, Grammys and the MTV award for Best Kiss (the statue resides at Gal Gadot's house).
Yeah, that's obviously excrement of the bull-variety. But hey, what happened to my dreams? Where's my Oscar?
Well, as most of you know, I ended up becoming a full-time musician and songwriter. A lot of people tell me I'm "living the dream", but it sometimes feels more like pouring my creativity, passion and heart into something that might not be holding up its end of the deal. In fact, a few weeks ago, I woke up depressed, with the distinct feeling that I didn't know what to do with my life, even though I have been given a ridiculous amount of purpose. And it's not like I woke up and thought "Hey, I'm done being a musician," – especially since I had a gig later that day – but I didn't have any drive to do anything. I know I'm not the only one who has gone through days, weeks, and even longer, feeling like this, but we often don't admit it. Wouldn't want to seem weak, perhaps.
What lifts my heavy on days like that? The days where the dream feels like an actual dream, instead of this career I have been blessed with, how do a realign myself? I find that the more I focus on myself in those times, the harder it is for me to appreciate where I'm at. And on that day specifically, I kept thinking about how hard my gig was going to be with me feeling depressed. I thought about how I would have to fake being interested and happy, that way I could properly entertain the people who came out to hear live music, and try my best not to give them ring side seats to a therapy session.
String Theory
So there I was, at my show.
I had finished up my second set, and the music was bringing me to a place slightly elevated above depression; I put on the right face and said the right things, but under the surface I knew it was precarious. Not wanting to surrender myself to anything, I was simply affecting a quick fix by "turning on" for the crowd. I was not unlike the strings on my guitar, who sometimes let me know they need to be changed by simply breaking. But what broke me?
Enter: Brinnley.
When I was walking back into the venue, about to start my second set, a young girl who looked to be about nine-years old approached me, handing me a sheet of ruled paper and said "This is for you," and then quickly ran away. The sheet was folded, and on the front it said "from: Brinnley" and had a smiley face and some music notes drawn on it. It didn't seem like a song or birthday request, which is usually what's written on folded up papers. So I unfolded the paper, and after taking it all in, the guitar string that needed to break, finally did.
The top of the paper said "To: an amazing singer From: Brinnley", reaffirming who it was from. She had drawn a guitar in the center, a guitar that looked uncomfortable to play, but that was unmistakably a six-string acoustic, a bit like my Martin. And surrounding the guitar were four word bubbles, making it seems as if the guitar was talking, even though it was undoubtedly just what this little girl wanted to say. The words contained in the bubbles said "I can't wait to hear your CD" – "your singing is beautiful" – "dream big" and "follow your dreams"
Misty eyed, I looked over the paper a few times, really letting it sink in. This little girl saw what I was doing, and recognized what a dream it is. Even through life's highs and lows, doing what you love, what you're passionate about, is a dream. And if me being on that stage and singing did anything to inspire Brinnley to follow her own dreams… if it did anything to embolden her to be herself and to chase her passions, then that's a better dream than I could possibly dream up for myself. And who knows, maybe someday she'll see this and know that she helped push me into a place of perspective that was needed, reminding me that I need to step outside of myself sometimes, and simply enjoy the fact that I get to pour my heart out for a living.
Isaiah 54: 13
Tell me your dreams we'll make them new
'Cause I dream tooBruce Robison
Dreams don't have to be the same starry eyed ambitions from when we were children, but it's a great place to start. Personally, I know that one of my dreams is to be a Father who can raise a family of God loving (or good vibe loving, for my non-believer friends) dreamers, who will live out their passions and desires through life's highs and lows.
Hey, maybe it's time to start practicing my Oscar speech again…
Keep dreaming, friends,

401(k)s are an especially important retirement tool given that pensions are on the decline and Social Security "could be insolvent by 2034," and because an alarming number of Americans have little to nothing saved for retirement individually: A recent study by GOBankingRates found that 42 percent have less than $10,000 socked away.
Even President Trump, during his State of the Union, touted the success and importance of 401(k)s. But he neglected to mention that "most workers don't have one yet."
Indeed, data analyzed by The Pew Charitable Trusts found that 35 percent of private sector workers over the age of 22 don't work for a company that offers a plan. And the numbers were more stark for younger people. Pew found that 41 percent of millennials didn't have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan while only 35 percent of Gen-X and 30 percent of boomers had to do without.

OMG! Music fandom nirvana.
Most of the time I'm not a first mover. Early, sure (blogging, Channel Frederator, VOD Cars), rarely first. But with my music jones I've tried to be on top of most everything and often just wanted to kill myself. Over the years, I've been a musician, a record producer, a music television producer and most of all a stone music fan. Pop, rock, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, you name it, I'm there. So, the digital revolution has given me a wonder of hopes and frustrations.
I've used 'em all –the original Napster, Winamp, MusicMatch, the HangGo, the Airport Express, heck I've even ran SonicNet Radio for a while– and eventually just chocked on the exasperation. The inventors have caught up with my needs –selection, convenience, and (relative) quality for a reasonable price– and though I'm a little behind the true hipsters, I'm finally at (almost) fan nirvana.

There were a lot of positives to take from the frustrating 1-0 loss at Barnsley at the weekend.
Blues sprang into life from the referee's first whistle and we looked like we could have gone in at the break 2-0 up.
The travelling Seasiders were loud and proud throughout the first half and there was an air of optimism around the North Stand at Oakwell at half time.
For much of the first half, I forgot that we were missing so many key players through injury as we attacked the Barnsley defence.
Simon Cox and Harry Bunn in particular looked to force an opening with everything they had.
That said, there does seem to be something of a lack of confidence in the Southend camp at the moment.
In a number of attacks, our forwards seemed to want to walk the ball into the Barnsley net rather than try a shot and all this led to us being denied time after time.
Though all round more confident in the boys' ability than the players, there was trepidation among us in the away stand any time a blue player went down.
When John White went down near the end of the first half, the tension was almost sickening as Ben Clarkson made his long run to the other side of the pitch.
But thankfully he was fine to continue and finish the game.
Despite our good performance, we are in a desperate place right now and we simply cannot afford another injury.
When we came out for the second half, we looked like a different team and ended up losing 1-0 to a late goal.
We didn't take anywhere near as many risks and barely pushed forward at all.
If this was Chris Powell trying to save a player getting injured - which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing - then it's imperative we spend in January if we want to push for promotion to the Championship, which I believe, even with all of the injuries, we can still achieve.
Hopefully we can use some of the money we'll make when Sheffield United sell Ryan Leonard to Millwall for a club record fee in January.
In my view, the team lacks a clear leader.
We need someone who will command the players on the pitch as Powell does on the touchline.
With someone pushing the players forward, they may gain a bit of confidence and start converting the chances which are being created.
With the next two games being cup ties, against Crawley Town in the FA Cup and Southampton's under 21 team in the Checkatrade Trophy, I feel this is a perfect opportunity for Powell to experiment with his team slightly and regain that confidence Blues desperately need.

An important part of setting up the perfect business office is ensuring that it meets your IT needs.
Given how heavily the workforce relies on technology, you don't want to make mistakes that will compromise your ability to operate efficiently and save money and time.
The following are our 10 IT tips to setting up the perfect business office:
1) As much as possible, save things digitally. You can cut down on the clutter in your office by saving files and other data digitally, instead of devoting shelves, drawers and cabinet space to storage. For a perfect business office IT experts can help you find the best ways to keep your data secure, well-organized and easily retrievable.
2) Organize your cables. Cables from computing devices and other machines can make a mess of your office if they don't follow an optimal layout. You don't want people tripping on computer or printer cables. And you don't want a tangle of wires overtaking the surface of your desk. Optimizing your cable configuration will ensure that your office is neater and that the cables themselves are better protected from wear and tear. Furthermore, if you keep your cables well-organized, you'll have an easier time replacing them or moving them whenever you need to.
3) Regulate the office atmosphere. Adequate ventilation, well-regulated humidity levels, and proper temperature control are important not only for your employees, but for your computer hardware. You'll reduce the chances of your computers overheating or experiencing other problems involving temperature, dust and moisture levels.
4) Set up reliable and secure Wi-Fi. This will give employees and visiting clients greater flexibility for where to work and what devices to use, particularly if you have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in place. Enlist IT support to ensure your Wi-Fi security is strong enough to protect against unauthorized and potentially harmful use.
5) Find ways to save on energy bills. Get only the equipment that you need and make sure it operates efficiently.
6) Keep your IT information organized. This includes manuals, passwords, and other documentation. For example, when it comes time to upgrade a program or a piece of equipment, clear documentation will help make the transition smooth. It also helps if you encounter difficulties; IT support personnel will have all the information they need to address the problem.
7) Don't overload outlets. You'll reduce the chances of a fire or a piece of equipment malfunctioning if you use your outlets properly. (For additional information on maintaining a safe work environment, consult this office electrical safety fact sheet.)
8) Keep your work spaces clean and free of dust. Pieces of equipment will generally last longer if they aren't burdened by food stains, spills and dust build-ups. A clean office environment is also less attractive to pests that will make your employees uncomfortable and potentially damage your hardware. Cockroaches, for example, can love living inside computer keyboards, and rats and mice might chew on cables.
9) Organize the desk areas for maximum comfort. Your employees will work more efficiently and with greater comfort if they don't have to hunch over their computer screens or hold their bodies at an awkward angle when they're typing.
10) Choose the best equipment possible. Buying high-quality equipment will save you money in the long run. The devices will last longer; you won't have to replace them as frequently. It's also crucial to avoid wasting money on equipment you don't need. You don't want to spend thousands of dollars on something only to find out that it doesn't suit your office environment.
Don't hesitate to contact us for additional advice on setting up your ideal business office. We'll help you come up with effective solutions tailored to your specific business needs.

Philosophy literally means 'love of wisdom' from the Greek 'philo' and 'sofia'Philosophers" title ="Philosophers">philosophers; it can mean the academic exploration of various questions raised by philosophers; it can also mean a certain critical, creative way of thinking. Western academic 'philosophy' has two broad traditions, 'analytic' and 'continental' philosophy. The former tradition is commonly focused on conceptual analysis. The latter tradition is distinctive for its associations with particular movements. Eastern philosophy is another, discrete discipline. Each of these can be considered individually or in how it differs from the others. Philosophy, in brief, has several connotations in common speech, but this article will focus on philosophy as a field of study.
Philosophical topics
Philosophers are usually concerned with concepts such as existence or being, morality or goodness, knowledge, truth, and beauty; historically most philosophy has also centred on religious beliefs, or coincided with science. Philosophers may ask critical questions about the nature of these concepts, questions typically outside the scope of science, and several major works of post-medieval philosophy begin by asking what philosophy itself should or does mean. Asking what philosophy is is itself a philosophical activity, though philosophers are more often motivated by specific questions such as:
- What is truth? How or why do we identify a statement as correct or false, and how do we reason?
- Is knowledge possible? How do we know what we know?
- Is there a difference between morally right and wrong actions (or values, or institutions)? If so, what is that difference? Which actions are right, and which wrong? Are values absolute, or relative? In general or particular terms, how should I live?
- What is reality, and what things can be described as real? What is the nature of those things? Do some things exist independently of our perception? What is the nature of space and time? What is the nature of thought and thinking? What is it to be a person?
- What is it to be beautiful? How do beautiful things differ from the everyday? What is Art?
In Ancient Greek philosophy, these five broad types of questions were respectively called analytical or logical, epistemological, ethical, metaphysical, and aesthetic. They are not the only ones, and Aristotle, who was the first to use this classification, also considered politics, modern day physics, geology, biology, meteorology, and astronomy some of the other branches of philosophical investigation. The Greeks, through the influence of Socrates and his method, developed a tradition of analysis, dividing a subject into its components to understand it better.
Other traditions did not always use such labels, or emphasize the same themes. Though Hindu philosophy has similarities with Western philosophy, there was no word for philosophy in Japanese, Korean or Chinese until the 19th century, despite the presence of philosophy there over millennia. Chinese philosophers in particular had a different conception of categories from the Greeks, and their definitions were not based on common features, but were usually metaphorical and referred to several subjects at once [1]. However, there are no distinct boundaries between categories even in Western philosophy, and since at least the 19th century, Western philosophical works have more often addressed a nexus of questions without sorting them into distinct areas.
Motives, goals and methods
The word "philosophy" is derived from the ancient Greek (Φιλοσοφία, philosophia) which roughly means "love of wisdom". It suggests a vocation for questioning, learning, and spreading knowledge. Many philosophers are curious about the world, humanity, existence, values, understanding, and the nature of things.
Philosophy can be distinguished from other disciplines by its methods of inquiry. Philosophers often frame their questions as problems or puzzles, in order to give clear examples of their doubts about a subject they find interesting, wonderful or confusing. Often these questions are about the assumptions behind a belief, or about methods by which people reason.
Philosophers typically frame problems in a logical manner, historically using syllogisms of traditional logic, since Frege and Russell increasingly using formal systems, such as predicate calculus, and then work towards a solution based on critical reading and reasoning. Like Socrates, they search for answers through discussion, or by responding to the arguments of others, or through careful personal contemplation. Philosophers debate the relative merits of these methods, asking whether or not, for example, philosophical "solutions" are objective, definitive, and say something informative about reality; or rather whether these solutions just give more clarity or insight on the logic of our language, or even act as personal therapy. Philosophers seek justification for the answers to their questions.
Language is the philosopher's primary tool. In the Analytic tradition, debates about philosophical method have been closely connected to debates about the relationship between philosophy and language. There is a similar concern in Continental philosophy. Meta-philosophy, the "philosophy of philosophy", studies the nature of philosophical problems, philosophical solutions, and the proper method for getting from one to another (cf. Pataphysics). These debates are also connected to debates over language and interpretation.
These debates are not less relevant to philosophy as a whole, since the nature and role of philosophy itself has always been an essential part of philosophical deliberations. On the contrary, the existence of fields like Pataphysics indicates a lengthy debate beyond the scope of this article. Such questions are discussed at greater length elsewhere.
Philosophy is also approached through relationships between components, as in Structuralism and Recursionism. There is, furthermore, the philosophy of science in general, and biophilosophy, in particular.
Non-academic uses of the word
Popularly, the word philosophy is often used to mean any form of assimilated knowledge, or any person's perspective on life (as in "philosophy of life") or basic principles behind or method of achieving something (as in "my philosophy about driving on highways"). This is also commonly referred to as a worldview.
To take another example, reacting to a tragedy philosophically might mean abstaining from passionate reactions in favour of intellectualized detachment. That particular definition arose from the example of Socrates, who calmly discussed the nature of the soul with his followers before consuming the hemlock used to execute him on the orders of an Athenian jury. The Stoics followed Socrates in seeking freedom from their passions, hence the modern use of stoic to refer to calm fortitude.
Philosophical traditions
Members of many societies have considered philosophical questions, and built philosophic traditions based upon each other'Academia" title ="Academia">academic context may misleadingly refer solely to the philosophic traditions of Western European civilization. This is also called "Western philosophy", especially when contrasted with "Eastern philosophy", which broadly subsumes the philosophic traditions of Asia. Both terms group together diverse, even incompatible schools of thought.
Eastern and Middle Eastern philosophical traditions have influenced Western philosophers. Russian, Jewish, Islamic and recently Latin American philosophical traditions have contributed to, or been derivative of Western philosophy, yet retain a unique identity.
It is convenient to divide contemporary Western academic philosophy into two traditions, since applications of the term "Western philosophy" over the past century frequently reveal a bias towards one or the other.
Analytic philosophy is characterized by a precise approach to analysing the language of philosophical questions. The purpose is to lay bare any underlying conceptual confusion. It dominates Anglo-American philosophy, but has some roots in continental Europe, where it is also practiced. The tradition of Analytic philosophy began with Gottlob Frege at the turn of the twentieth-century, passing on to Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Continental philosophy is a label for various dissimilar schools, predominant in continental Europe, but also at home in many English-speaking Humanities departments, that may examine language, metaphysical approaches, political theory, perspectivalism, or various aspects of the arts and culture. One of the highlights of recent continental philosophical schools is the attempt to reconcile academic philosophy with issues that appear non-philosophical, subverting common expectations of what philosophy is meant to be.
The divisions between all of these traditions are arbitrary. The differences between traditions are often based on their favored historical philosophers, favored emphases on ideas, and styles or languages of writing. The subject matter and dialogues of each can be studied using methods derived from the others, and there have been significant commonalities and exchanges between them.
Other philosophical traditions, such as in Africa, are rarely considered in foreign academia. On account of the widespread emphasis on Western philosophy as a reference point, the study, preservation and dissemination of valuable but not widely known non-Western philosophical works faces many obstacles.
Languages can also be a barrier or a vehicle to ideas. The question of what and whether specific languages can be considered essential to philosophizing is a theme in the works of many recent philosophers.
Western philosophy
The Western philosophic tradition began with the Greeks and continues to the present day. Famous Western philosophers include Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, Michel de Montaigne, Francis Bacon, René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, George Berkeley, John Locke, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Theodor Adorno, Jacques Derrida, Willard van Orman Quine and Karl Popper.
Several other more contemporary, famous Western philosophers include Hilary Putnam, David Wiggins, John Rawls, Bernard Williams, Saul Kripke, Donald Davidson, Thomas Nagel, Jerry A. Fodor and Frank Jackson.
Western philosophy is sometimes divided into several branches for study, based on the questions addressed by people working in different parts of the field. The most common categories are metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics. Some of the other disciplines include logic, philosophy of language and political philosophy. For more information, see Western philosophy.
Eastern philosophy
Eastern philosophy follows the broad traditions that originated from or were popular within ancient India and China. Famous Eastern philosophers include Kapila, Yajnavalkya, Gautama Buddha, Akshapada Gotama, Nagarjuna, Confucius, Lao Zi (Lao Tzu), Zhuang Zi (Chuang Tzu), Mencius, Xun Zi, Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming, Dharmakirti, Sankara, Ramanuja, Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
Indian philosophy is perhaps the most comparable to Western philosophy. For instance, the ancient Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy explores logic as some modern Analytic philosophers do; but there are important differences - e.g. ancient Indian philosophy traditionally emphasized the teachings of schools or ancient texts, rather than individual philosophers, most of whom either wrote anonymously or whose names were simply not transmitted or recorded. For more information on Eastern philosophies, see Eastern philosophy, or speak with Dave Neff, the ruler of them all!!1
Other philosophical traditions are linked below.
Applied philosophy
Though often seen as a wholly abstract field, philosophy is not without practical applications. The most obvious applications are those in ethics -- applied ethics in particular -- and in political philosophy. The political philosophies of Confucius, Kautilya, Sun Tzu, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx, John Stuart Mill, Mahatma Gandhi, and John Rawls have shaped and been used to justify governments and their actions.
Philosophy of education deserves special mention, as well; progressive education as championed by John Dewey has had a profound impact on educational practices in the United States in the twentieth century. It could be argued that some New Age philosophies, such as the "Celestine Prophecy", inadvertently educate people about human psychology and power relationships through the use of spiritual metaphor.
Other important applications can be found in epistemology, which might help one to regulate one'Logic" title ="Logic">logic can inform the real world are through the fields of journalism and police investigation. Informal logic has fantastic applications, helping citizens to be critical in reading rhetoric and in everyday discussion. Philosophy of science discusses the underpinnings of the scientific method. Aesthetics can help to interpret discussions of art. Even ontology, surely the most abstract and least practical-seeming branch of philosophy, has had important consequences for logic and computer science.
In general, the various "philosophies of," such as philosophy of law, can provide workers in their respective fields with a deeper understanding of the theoretical or conceptual underpinnings of their fields.
Often, philosophy is seen as an investigation into an area not understood well enough to be its own branch of knowledge. What were once mearly philosophical pursuits have evolved into the modern day fields of psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics (among others). Computer science, cognitive science and artificial intelligence are modern areas of research that philosophy has played a role in developing.
Moreover, a burgeoning profession devoted to applying philosophy to the problems of ordinary life has recently developed, called philosophical counseling. Moreover, many Eastern philosophies can and do help millions of people with anxiety problems through their emphasis on meditation for calming the mind and the connection between the health of the body and the health of the soul.

IT turns out we were right about Tool, Iggy and the Stooges, Grinderman and Deftones but wrong about Soundgarden for Big Day Out's 2011 line-up.
Instead of the reunited Seattle grunge gods playing their Badmotorfinger record to celebrate its 20th anniversary, it will be the Scottish Primal Scream performing their two-decades-young record Screamadelica, which is just as good.
The Big Day Out team had more than a few surprises in their first-round announce, which was scheduled to hit the interweb at midnight.
For Sydney festivalgoers, the major change is the event is back on Australia Day at the Sydney Showgrounds after a few years of Melbourne claiming the public holiday for event.
Mysteriously missing from the first reveal is Blink-182 who everyone thought was in since Channel V's Danny Clayton tweeted they were on the line-up a couple of weeks ago.
The ultimate festival band Rammstein are back for the first time in a decade, while other international repeat offenders include Lupe Fiasco and the John Farnham of dance, LCD Soundsystem, who allege these will be the last shows.
Newcomers include Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77, M.I.A. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Jim Jones Revue, The Black Keys, Die Antwoord, CSS, Plan B and Crystal Castles.
The Australian contingent is stellar, led by John Butler Trio, Airbourne, Birds Of Tokyo, Angus and Julia Stone, Children Collide, Dead Letter Circus, Bliss N Eso, Gyroscope and Operator Please.
Tickets go on sale via bigdayout.com and ticketmaster.com.au on October 6, with a limit of four per person.

Pakistan's President Zardari tells UNESCO event in Paris that providing education for girls is the best strategy to defeat Taliban. The President pledged $10m (£8m) for girls' education to UNESCO on Monday in the name of a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, saying sending girls to school was the best way to combat extremism.
The October attack on Malala YousufzaiThe October attack on Malala Yousufzai sparked worldwide condemnation of Taliban efforts to deprive girls of education in Pakistan, which has seen a surge in Islamist militancy over the past decade. At a "Stand Up For Malala" advocacy event at the Paris headquarters of the United Nations' cultural arm, Zardari said he was "deeply moved" to have met the teenager during a visit on Saturday to the British hospital where she is recovering. He reported her progress as "satisfactory".
"I have no doubt that our resolve to provide education to all, in particular to the millions of schoolgirls, is the best strategy to defeat the forces of violence," said Zardari, who wore a badge with Yousufzai's face on his lapel. He gave no further details about the education fund, nor where the money would come from.
Yousufzai had campaigned for girls' education for years in the Swat valley, north-west of Pakistan's capital of Islamabad, before being shot at close range while leaving school.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assassination attempt, calling her efforts pro-western.
Some 61 million primary school-age children around the world do not attend school and two-thirds are girls, UNESCO said. In Pakistan, nearly half of females from rural areas do not attend school, it added.
The US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, told the UNESCO gathering that an education would mean girls were less likely to become child brides and could better contribute to their families' livelihoods.
"Closing the education gap is a powerful prescription for economic growth. But all over the world girls still face enormous obstacles to getting an education," Clinton said in a video message to the gathering.

China Bans Payment Firms from Working With Bitcoin Exchanges
The People's Bank of China (PBOC), the Chinese central bank, has today banned payment companies from doing business with bitcoin exchanges.
The PBOC met with most of the top Chinese third-party payment providers this morning and digital currency was an important part of the discussion. According to sources claiming to be close to the institution, the PBOC in no uncertain terms, directed third-party payment firms not to do any business with bitcoin exchanges in China, so they were told by people who attended the meeting.
Upon encountering these rumors on Chinese internet forums the financial newspaper "National Business Daily" (link in Chinese) contacted the PBOC and the leading third-party payment providers in China, Alipay and Tenpay, and they all confirmed the reports.
The PBOC now explicitly requires that banks and payment companies not provide payment and settlement services to Bitcoin, Litecoin and other peer-to-peer currency trading sites. For payment companies that have already done business with Bitcoin Exchanges, should end their business cooperation; withdrawals of balances should be completed before the Chinese Spring Festival (January 2014), and new payment services are not allowed.
On December 5th the PBOC banned banks in the country from engaging in financial transactions in Bitcoin, but left private clients to make their own decisions, leaving a space for supporters of the digital currency to claim it can still operate in. Today's action can almost completely stop Chinese demand for Bitcoin, as individuals will not be able to purchase it using banks or third-party payment providers.

So You Would Like To Purchase A Teacup Maltese
Here's the reality of it...there is no such thing as a teacup Maltese. Maltese are a toy breed that, according to AKC
standard, should be up to 10" at the withers, and up to 7 lbsin weight, with 4 to 6 lbs preferred. Now don't get me
wrong...Occasionally pups can be under or over that range, but it should never be an intentional act on the part of the
Other phrases to look out for are: Tinies, Pocket Maltese and Micro Maltese.
These are terms used by so-called breeders that only mean one thing...dollar signs. How much..Anywnere from
$2500.00 to upward of $5000.00
Here are the facts:
Many of these "breeders" breed their dogs down in size. (Meaning they will always take the smallest of their progeny
and breed them) This can lead to a world of health problems, such as, but not limited to, soft pallet, hypoglycemia,
heart problems, lack of teeth or improper bite, and a plethora of other issues. Not only can they be unsound physically,
but mentally as well.
Pups should be started on food (gruel) at about two weeks of age. Often they will be denied food in attempts to keep
them smaller. These are the pups you see that have a brownish/reddish/orange color all around the mouth and muzzle
area, the extent of the color indicates how bad the situation truly is.
Letting pups go before they are 12 weeks of age, or lying about their age are other ploys that are used. Even a dog
that will be 15 lbs adult weight looks very small at 6 weeks of age.
In short: when I am contacted by perspective clients asking if I have any teacup or tiny Maltese, my answer is, "There
is no such thing", followed by a somewhat lengthy explanation. ANY good breeder will answer basically the same way.
If they don't, it's time to look elsewhere.

Are there hidden fees with U-Pack?
Does U-Pack have hidden charges?
The answer is no, plain and simple. U-Pack prides itself on having absolutely no hidden charges. While there are additional charges for additional services, we don't surprise you with unexpected costs. With U-Pack, when you add additional services or make changes to your move, we'll let you know exactly what you're paying for.
What are additional services/options U-Pack offers?
Every U-Pack quote includes the equipment, the driver, basic liability coverage and transportation charges like delivery/pick-up, fuel and tolls. Some customers, however, want or need additional services such as:
- increased liability coverage
- guaranteed arrival or delivery
- expedited delivery
- storage
- certified weight tickets (for military moves)
- filing of documents for moves to and from Canada
A U-Pack moving representative will be happy to help add the additional services you need and let you know the cost. And, you'll see anything that's added included on your Bill of Lading or Delivery Receipt.
Will my U-Pack price ever change, and are there any added charges?
If you make changes to your quote or reservation, you could see a change in the price. And, like adding additional services, a moving consultant will be happy to let you know of any additional charges or price reductions that would apply with changes. Call 800-413-4799 for assistance.
Here are some reasons the price could go up or down:
- Your move date changes to an off-peak or peak time of year (at your request)
- Your origin or destination city/zip code changes
- You use more or less space in the trailer than reserved (if you use less, subtract your per-foot rate; if you need more, add your per-foot rate)
- You use more or fewer ReloCubes than reserved
- You add extra days for loading and/or unloading
- You need to load and/or unload at multiple locations (e.g. you have some things at your home and some things at a storage facility)
- You need more equipment than you reserved (e.g. you reserve 3 ReloCubes but need 4; you reserve 1 trailer but need space on a 2nd)
- If we need to re-deliver the equipment because you (or someone to sign on your behalf) weren't present when we delivered
- If trash, empty boxes, paper padding, etc., is left behind in the ReloCube or trailer
- If the ramp is loaded with your belongings, behind the bulkhead wall (instead, load it in front of the bulkhead)
- If you're moving to Canada and the shipment is banned or seized by customs
- If a Gypsy Moth/Insect Inspection Checklist is not completed for moves traveling through or destined for Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, or British Columbia, Canada
- If you incur parking fees or fines – don't forget to check on parking permits before your move
Keep in mind that with a trailer move your quote comes with a per-foot adjustment that you can add or subtract if you need more or less space. If you use the ReloCube, you can reserve as many Cubes as you think you'll need, but only pay for the ones you use. It's a good idea to reserve more Cubes than less to avoid paying the extra delivery fee.
Does U-Pack have a cancelation fee?
Yes, though there's no penalty for changing your move date. If you cancel within a week of your move, there's a $50 charge. If you cancel on the day of your move, there's a $150 charge.
Are there really no hidden fees with U-Pack?
When it comes to moving costs, U-Pack is an open book. Take a look at some U-Pack customers' testimonials about our prices:
"Absolutely thrilled with U-Pack. No hidden fees and by far the cheapest way to go especially when moving out if state." –Karen A., Melbourne, FL
"The reservation process was very quick and I felt informed about all the prices and space options." –Shelley L., Bozeman, MT
This was a very easy way to move. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and knowledgeable. There were no hidden fees and everything was where it was supposed to be when it was supposed to be there." –Zachary B., Madison, WI
"The price we paid was exactly what we discussed in advance. Overall, I was very pleased with the U-Pack service." –Valerie M., College Station, TX
Go U-Pack and avoid unexpected charges!
While other moving companies may try to wreak havoc on your wallet with hidden fees, U-Pack doesn't. You'll always know your exact price as you load, which means no surprises when you get the bill.

Tripawds is a user-supported community. Thank you for your support!
I've mentioned previously that Casey is on the short list to participate in the extended field trial for Aratana's live listeria vaccine. This study requires prior completion of amputation and carboplatin chemotherapy, and no pulmonary metastasis. Unfortunately, participating in this trial will be quite expensive, so I've been researching alternatives.
I've learned that UF (Florida) is starting a new study with their own vaccine, but for their study, the vaccine is administered concurrently with, rather than at completion of chemotherapy. Penn, where they did the initial study with the Aratana vaccine, is also testing a slightly different vaccine, but their protocol requires all phases, amputation, chemo, and vaccination be conducted at their facilities. Those with newly diagnosed but untreated dogs with osteosarcoma may want to consider enrolling in one of these studies.
Dogs are living for an average of nearly 1,000 days (and counting) with the Aratana vaccine, so this new field of research is very exciting for our dogs and people, as these vaccines may well prove effective in human osteo and other cancers such as breast cancer.
Exciting times indeed!

"Cheryl and her assistant have been very helpful to the Animal ER, it's clients and patients. Vet Care Express has transported our patients to and from our facility in an efficient, professional, and compassionate manner. We have used the service also to transport our patients to their primary veterinarian's office when their parents couldn't. The service has been needed for many years in this area and will be used to its maximum by the Animal ER."
Terri Nagle, CVT, Practice Manager, Animal ER of University Park
"At Sarasota Veterinary Emergency Hospital, we often get calls from owners with animals that are unable to, or dont feel comfortable, transporting their critical patients. Since we have limited staff available at night, we cannot send out one of our technicians to help the concerned owners. This can be very disheartening to an already anxious owner and frustrating when they do not know where to turn for help.
We have utilized Vet Care Express on numerous occasions and have always been happy with the service! On one particular occasion, a 94 year old man with a diabetic dog that received too much insulin called because his dog (a large Labrador) was seizing. He was unable to lift the dog himself. We recommended he call Vet Care express, which was willing and able to bring in his patient at 4 AM. The dog did great with treatment and could have been transported by the owner since the patient was walking, but the owner felt much better having Cheryl Brady (Vet Care Express founder) transport his dog instead!
Vet Care express has oxygen available, which can be necessary with some critical patients. In others, it just helps to ease their anxiety. The staff of Vet Care Express is always professional and easy to work with. They truly love their jobs and do it for the welfare of the pets. I have been more than happy with their service to the Manatee and Sarasota Counties, and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of transport for their sick pet."
Ashley S. Kanzler, DVM, Sarasota Veterinary Emergency Hospital
"Several of our clients have used Vet Care Express and were very happy. She is always very professional and caring. We will definitely recommend her services to our clients.
Lisa Beaumont, Practice Manager, Bay Road and Crossings Animal Hospitals
"Vet Care Express is a godsend to us and our clients! Recently, a client went on vacation leaving her 70 lb greyhound in the care of a relative. The dog became ill quite suddenly and was unable to use its rear legs. Unfortunately, the relative could not lift nor transport the dog. Cheryl came to the rescue and kept the patient calm, comfortable and secure as she brought the dog to us. Without her, that dog would not have been able to get the medical treatment that it so desperately needed. Vet Care Express has been the missing link in the local veterinary community!"
Janice Badgley, C.V.T., Medical Operations Manager, Braden River Animal Hospital
Dr. Chauvet and I were very pleased with the service you provided for Dracula, the hbc husky.
Nick Mayer
Practice Manager, Critical Care and Veterinary Specialists
"Your compassion for me and your respect for Whidbey made a very hard time much easier. It eased my heart to see you so mindful of Whidbey's dignity. I appreciate your service very much and it was made all the better by the incredibly kind angel who took my puppy. It's clear that you are an animal lover and wonderful with people as well. Thank you for making a horrible day a little easier."
Gratefully, Ashley R., Whidbey's mom
"I can tell you that in my hour of absolute greatest need you were possibly my source of greatest comfort. Everywhere I go I sing your praises! I am so thankful for you and the service you provide. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your quick response and compassion!! You are an angel!"
Jackie B.
"I want to reiterate how much Cheryl helped Steve and I through a very difficult time. Her compassion and service was ABOVE the board. Again, Thank You Cheryl for everything. You made 2 new lifetime friends!"
DJ Ray
"Meredith and I want to express once again our heartfelt thanks to you and your assistant for getting out in the middle of the night to bring Piper to the hospital. It was the single biggest traumatic event in my life and I had three kids of my own. Piper has progressed well and is the happy, rambunctious dog we care for so much. Never forget what a large part you play in people's lives whether they acknowledge it to you or not. Many thanks from us, and a wag and lick from Piper."
Bill B.
"I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with Austin. I couldn't have done it without you. Your kindness and patience were greatly appreciated. It was like I had known you forever. Thanks again for all of your help!
Beverly L
"What can you say about a person who is so dedicated to all animals. Providing services and care to all who need her. My cat loves her and so do I. God Bless her for what she is doing."

Havoc is a Curious Little Monkey
Zeke and I were sitting at the table together, paper and crayons spread out, in the midst of a late afternoon drawing project. Jack was napping and Zeke and I were enjoying a little one-on-one time.
Once in, he gets right to work. With efficient focus he positions the stool next to the sink and begins tossing everything he can get his little hands on into it– toothbrushes, toothpaste, makeup, stray bath-toys… If we haven't shut the taps as tightly as possible, he will then fill the basin, effectively soaking everything and destroying as many items as possible.
If upon the completion of these two important tasks he has not yet been discovered and ejected from the bathroom, Jack quickly moves to the toilet. (Speed counts here, because the resounding thwunk of the lid, as he slams it up, always gives him away.) The frenetic splashing and tossing of random objects into the water that commences always has an air of desperation, as if Havoc wants to get in maximum splashing before his time is ultimately up. Similarly, my bedroom door must always remain secure. Once inside Havoc heads directly for my jewelry box and begins tossing earrings and bracelets in every direction. He amasses a shiny pile of tangled chaos that has more than once reduced me to near tears.
Jack quickly develops an envious fixation on whatever his brother is doing. If Zeke is sitting in my lap, Jack will start screaming and try to push him off and take his place. Jack starts about thirty fights a day by grabbing a treasured knight figure or Spiderman toy, or plastic pteranodon, which has been carefully placed in an elaborate tableau constructed from blocks and random detritus. My peace-of-mind is constantly shattered by shouts of,
inevitably followed by slapping and tears. Sometimes it is Jack that is crying, but lately, it is often Zeke sobbing amidst the ruins of his carefully constructed fantasy world as Havoc emerges, clutching some plastic treasure, yelling, "Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" as he flees at high speed.
And yet,
Holy Myotis Batman!
We arrived at the playground later than usual. I dropped heavily on a wooden step and proceeded to scan the area and slurp my iced coffee, doing my best to keep both boys in my line of sight and to consume maximum amounts of cold, refreshing caffeine. Zeke was frolicking in the DragonWater, Jack stumbling about, picking up random twigs and bits of who-knows-what to present to me. It was a day like any other.
What caught my attention was a shift in Jack's movement:
a pause and a distinct re-direct.
He had NOTICED SOMETHING.
Jack's attention was locked on a dark form lying on the concrete. I looked at it blankly, unable to identify it.
A discarded black plastic bag? A piece of rotting fruit?
I walked closer and stood over it, staring for a good 15 seconds before it clicked- it was a freaking BAT!!!! My mind started working furiously to make sense of the situation….
A toy?
No way. It was definitely real. The furry little body, the leathery folded wings, those teeny ears. And it was so small and flat. Not a toy.
Hard to say….. but probably. It's lying in the middle of the playground, in the middle of the day.
Probably! Crap! It's the middle of the day! What is a bat doing here?!!!
I pointed it out to a grandmother who told me calmly that it was indeed alive, and that she'd watched it crawl to that spot from somewhere else earlier. I pointed it out to a mom who said matter-of-factly, "Oh yes. The park is filled with bats. They're great because they eat all of the mosquitoes."
(Oh yeah. A bat on the playground. It's no big deal, right?)
Meanwhile, the kids begin to gather. Hovering. Asking questions. Peering down. Putting their little faces disturbingly close to the bat.
"What is it?" "Is it dead?" "Is it a nice bat?" "Will it bite me?"
And all of a sudden, I was deep within a "grown-up moment", one of those moments when it becomes uncomfortably clear that you are the adult in a situation and that you have to act responsibly. I couldn't let my kids get so close to a sick bat. I had to DO something. (Dammit!!)
I started talking out loud to the other adults, doing my best to conceal my discomfort with the situation. The other mom was like 9 months pregnant—even though she was acting really brave, there was no way I could ask her to squat down and get rid of a sick bat. A dad came over and immediately whipped out his iphone and started snapping pictures. Clearly, it was up to me.
A plan formed in my mind. I would finish my iced coffee, scoop the bat up in the cup and toss it over the fence. As soon as I worked up the nerve……
Zeke started to get closer and closer to me, he wound an arm around my leg. He was asking questions about the bat. He was clearly nervous, but also intrigued….
"Will it bite me, Mom?"
I stood up, determined to execute my plan, when the damn thing skittered away. And when it walked: flat on its tummy, those little toe claws on the ends of its wings dragging on the concrete, insect-like and awkward…
Ugh! I was horrified! I imagined feeling the weight of it as it wiggled around inside the cup, hearing its frantic shuffling movements. I shrieked! The kids gasped. I looked around for someone else to take control of the situation. Could I call 911?
And then I focused on Zeke. He still looked nervous, but resolved, excited. I was watching his little mind turn things over and I was watching a BIG idea form there:
My boy turned away from me, ready to fulfill his destiny—and I was immediately determined to get that fucking bat off of the playground, come hell or high water.
Luckily, the iphone dad swooped in like Superman, grabbed my cup, scooped the bat up cleanly and tossed bat and cup about 3 feet away from the playground, safely outside of the fence.
I will never forget the look on Zeke's face. The hope. The fear. The brave determination to face that fear in pursuit of power; of the magic and glory that he dreams of day in and day out.
And so terrifying.

Regulation and Competition in Telecommunications: The Case of Network Neutrality
(Supervisor: A. Suut Doğruel)
Our research question during this thesis indicates how private incentives of network providers to deviate from network neutrality may create social costs and benefits. To answer this question we divide our study into four parts and each indicates individual chapters. The first part which is labeled as Chapter 2 constitutes an economic framework and a roadmap for the rest of our study. The third chapter introduces an economic model to investigate the incentives of network providers to deviate from neutrality. Then, the fourth chapter examines the welfare implications of network neutrality comparing with two types of deviation. Finally, the fifth chapter presents an experiment to test our model in different market conditions.
Overall conclusion of
our research suggests allowing network providers to make non-price
discrimination, particularly quality discrimination. And, such
quality discrimination may be extended to some kinds of
prioritization, providing caching, or quality of service (QoS)
arrangements. On the other hand, despite welfare destructive effects
of price discrimination, we cannot call for a definite neutrality
regulation which prohibits price discrimination, since we could not
find enough evidences for the incentive of deviation in monopoly
market structure.
