There's this simple joy in scarfing down a bowl of hot rice with a savory and saucy topping. It's been a long day, you're tired and hungry, and there it is--your order of rice bowl, a glorious sight of fluffy carbs that meets your ulam, and you excitedly scramble for your chopsticks or spoon--with a bowl, who needs both hands? You can chow down your meal like a ninja just by using a single fork or a single spoon, mixing all the goodness of that savory meal to embrace those morsels of white fluffy rice.
Your rice bowl can be in the form of any comfort food best paired with rice--there's the simple Pinoy goodness of a silog, or something more for chopstick pleasures with the Japanese donburi ('rice bowl') or gyudon ('beef bowl with rice'), or Chinese rice toppings. Whatever type of rice-meal-in-a-bowl you crave, the metro's restaurants have it. And eating these dishes have an added delight when they're being sold for cheap. For affordable deep dish meals in Metro Manila, here are 12 places serving rice bowls for 200 Pesos each (even less!).

Ivangorod Fortress
Ivangorod Fortress (Russian: Ивангородская крепость, Estonian: Jaanilinna linnus, Votic: Jaanilidna) is a medieval castle in Ivangorod, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. It is located on the Narva River along the Russian border with Estonia, across from the Estonian city of Narva.
Ivangorod Fortress was established by Ivan III in 1492, intended to reaffirm Muscovy's right to access the Baltic Sea and to form a bulwark against the Teutonic Order, being built opposite the powerful Teutonic Hermann Castle. The fortress eventually grew into the town of Ivangorod, and the structures of the fort were gradually expanded and strengthened.[1] Ivangorod Fortress was controlled by Sweden after the end of the Livonian War in 1583, changing hands numerous times during conflicts and border shifts over the following centuries until returning to permanent Russian rule after World War II via the Soviet Union. Today, Ivangorod Fortress is a museum and a tourist attraction.
The original castle was constructed in one summer, in the year 1492. It was named after Muscovite Grand Prince Ivan III. Its purpose was to fend off the Livonian Knights. The castle is strictly quadrilateral, measuring 1,600 m2 (17,000 sq ft), with walls 14 metres tall.
Ivangorod was won back later in the year by Muscovite forces from the Livonians, under the command of Prince Ivan Gundar and Mikhail Klyapin. Three thousand troops arrived to retake the castle, rebuild it, and construct a new barracks and stronger bastions. For almost 10 years, the land around the castle was in constant warfare. The fortress and the land around changed hands repeatedly. The castle was reconstructed and fortified many times, becoming one of the strongest defensive structures in the 16th century. The castle was in development until the 17th century, becoming a large, sprawling fortress with several lines of defence.
The Treaty of Teusina (1595) returned the fortress to the Russians. In 1612, the Swedes conquered the fortress, which was bravely defended by a voivode, Fyodor Aminev (b 1560s, d 1628) and his sons. By the Treaty of Stolbova, Ingria was ceded to Gustav II Adolf, king of Sweden. In 1704, Peter the Great captured the castle from Swedish troops, bringing the fortress back into Russian control. Inside the fortress, there are two churches: one is dedicated to the Virgin's Assumption (1496) and the other to St Nicholas (built in the late 16th century but later reconstructed).
After the early 18th century, the military role of the fortress dwindled due to technological advances. In 1728, a review was carried out of the fortresses in this area, which concluded that the installation had been neglected, and had a low fighting efficiency. An order was issued for restoration of the Ivangorod fortress, but after the inspection of 1738 the fortress was designated not adequate for defence purposes.
In 1840, some improvements were carried out in the fortress (roofs were renewed), and further improvements took place in 1863 and 1911-1914. During World War I, the fortress was captured by the Germans on 25 February 1918. From 1919 to 1940, the fortress belonged to Estonia. Despite changing hands several times in the first half of the 20th century, the fortress played no significant role in fighting.
During World War II, it was first controlled by the Soviet Union (1940–1941) and then by Nazi Germany (1941–1944), which established two POW camps within the fortress and left many of its buildings damaged after their retreat. After the annexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union in 1940, the Ivangorod fortress was part of the Russian Soviet Republic. The town and fortress remained with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the restoration of the independent Republic of Estonia in 1990. Currently, the fortress serves as a museum.
The museumEdit
The history and art museum of the Ivangorod fortress exhibits paintings of Ivan Bilibin, Alexandra Pototskaya and other artists. Also, local history and tradition are explained by some of the museum's exhibits, such as archeological finds encountered in the surrounding areas. There is a permanent exhibition devoted to the Northern War and the Livonian War. As well, there are models of fortresses in the surrounding region and armaments, and documents and letters related to famous people such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, exhibited in the fortress museum.

I was glad to hear that the Ministry of Education is now allowing secondary school students to transfer only if the student meets the school's cut-off point ("Sec 1 postings: Harder to switch schools"; Dec 29, 2015).
Very often, we hear of students with a lower score being accepted into schools, due to affiliation.
The new directive levels the playing field for every student.
However, this means that the Direct School Admission scheme and Primary School Leaving Examination now carry heavier weighting.
I hope parents will not put extra pressure on their children, hothousing them to excel in a particular sport or performing art, to gain admission into a desired school.
Parents should allow their children to excel in their interests at their own pace.
They have to accept the fact that every child has a different degree of academic ability.
It is better for the child to go to a school of his level.
Every school has its strengths and weaknesses, and the popular schools may not necessarily be the best for the child.

Mental Health & Statistics
The teen and young adulthood years are a time of growth and transition, and the prevalence of mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and self-injury continue to rise. As a result, mental health and suicide awareness issues are at or near the top of every school administrator's list of priorities. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline's first year was 2005 and they handled 46,000 calls. In 2017 it answered over 2 million – 25-30% of the callers had suicidal thoughts, while others were distressed or looking for info and resources. The facts cannot be ignored – our country's teens and young adults are struggling more than ever before.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds and the 10th leading cause of death across all ages in the United States in 2017. Every day, 129 people died from suicide in the United States.
Suicide is a major public health concern. Suicide rates have increased by 33% in the last 20 years since 1999 in the U.S., yet funding/research lags behind all other top leading causes of death. The National Institute of Mental Health reports spending on cancer ($6 B), heart disease ($1.37B), Alzheimer's ($1.36 B), and Diabetes ($1.1 B) all greatly surpass the $68M spent on suicide research in 2017.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds
Over 70% of people who attempted suicide have an anxiety disorder
of college students experience significant mental health issues
of teens with anxiety or depression did not seek treatment in 2016
Anxiety & Depression
1 in 5 adults in America experience a mental illness. An estimated 40 million adults in the US, or 18% of the population, have an anxiety disorder, while 16 million adults had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Meanwhile, one-half of all mental illness begins by the age of 14, and three-quarters by the age of 24. Recent survey data indicate in the past year, three out of five college students experienced overwhelming anxiety, and two out of five students were too depressed to function.

Sunday morning turned out pretty promising for an afternoon hash. The hashers made their way to Nimitz Park where the hash would begin at about 1400. As the hashers arrived a soft rain started, which eventually turned into a short down pore. Present hashers were: Happy SM, One Dog Sleeping, Chainsaw Assacre, Psychodrunk, Screw Driver, NFN Dante, NFN Sly, Pi Pan, AkaGay, Snowball, Pedo Kazu and Texas 2.2. Hares for Sunday's hash were: One Dog Sleeping and Co-hare Chainsaw Assacre. Hares away was called and the hares were off. The trail proceeded along the river to the hospital. Next it turned right and did a detour through Sailor Town. Sailor town was a must since One Dog Sleeping is the king of bar-to-bars. The trail then turned through the Ginza and across 35 and through the Post Office parking lot. Up the hill to the Thai restaurant was the next portion and then it wound along the middle of the mountain with three consecutive down and ups. Eventually the first leg would end at Chainsaw Assecre's mansion, unfortunately the hares were the only two hashers that would make it this far. The hounds waited the standard 12 minutes and were away. The first confusion for the hounds was in the Ginza. After some time of making wrong turns, the hounds eventually found true trail to the Post Office. Apparently postal workers erased some of the markings in the parking lot, so the hounds were very much confused. Psychodrunk eventually discovered this and once again the hounds were on true trail. Shortly later Happy SM decided to make her own trail and was thoroughly lost for the remainder of the hash. The other hounds eventually made it to the first down and up (about halfway through the first leg) and voted to abandon trail. Eventually all the hashers made their way to Makati Bar where down downs would commenced. Makati Bar was chosen to get out of the rain, and ODS stashed the beer and snakes there before the hash began. One NFN was to be named at this hash, so the hashers proceeded to drill NFN Sly for information. Some of the names that were not good enough included: Yaba Daba Goat Fucker (a close 2nd), Came for a name, No Run Sunday, Captain Save a Ho, Eye Shooter and Cleveland Steam Cutter. Eventually a name was decided on and NFN Sly now and forever more is named: Goat Fuck Yerself. Texas 2.2 requested to be renamed and after much deliberation, Texas 2.2 was renamed: Chin Chin 2.2. OnOn was Playmates and OnOnOn for a few of the hashers was once again Makati Bar. Next hash run will be an unscheduled bar-to-bar this Saturday.OnOn ODS

Hash Trash 2011 February 19 GRIDLEY Virgin Bar to Bar
Saturdays bar to bar was a rookie experience with three virgins and two unnamed hashers. Two of the virgins to join this hash were visiting from USS GRIDLEY. To start there were only three named hashers, but in true Sasebo tradition, the hash began on time. The first leg was co-haired with One Dog Sleeping and Brown Eyed Dragon and was a 5K that would have made Psychodrunk proud. Along the way, the hounds came across Happy SM, who made it to Makati for the first finish. The second leg was haired by Brown Eyed Dragon and Chainsaw Assacre who led everyone to Blue Js. Leg three was haired by One Dog Sleeping and Chainsaw Assacre and led everyone to Polo where down downs were conducted. All the virgins including NFN Matt, NFN Joe, and NFN John were properly inducted to Sasebo HHH. Also, NFN Matt and NFN Sly were re-introduced to the Sasebo HHH. All sponsors were properly punished for having virgins as well. From there Happy SM haired a leg which led us to Takuan-no-Shippo where Pedo Kazu joined us. Inside the toilet was a chalked stitch, but who had time to do that? NFN Matt and NFN Matt arm wrestled for who would be the good Matt and who would have the lucky name as Bad Matt. From there, Brown Eyed Dragon, NFN Bad Matt, and NFN Sly took the lead as hairs bringing everyone to Saki town for a brief stop at the Romanian Bar. A few karaoke songs and drinks meant it was time to hair again. Brown Eyed Dragon and NFN Sly haired the group to Subic back in the sanctuary of Sailor Town. Everyone took the time to enjoy some free food for Meg's birthday. NFN Matt and NFN Joe left here to try their luck in Sailor Town before returning to their ship. After everyone had eaten it was Hairs away where Brown Eyed Dragon (again) was out the door with NFN Bad Matt where they led everyone the long way to the River Rock. A few minutes there, and it was time to head out the door. The hounds went chasing after One Dog Sleeping who was found at Playmates. Snowball and Flash Flower were already working there, but enjoyed a little time with their Hash Brothers and Sisters. After that it was Hair away with Brown Eyed Dragon (yet again) taking everyone to Bunny bar. After a little time there, One Dog Sleeping Haired the final leg to Love Doll. Down Downs and a little swinging low was properly held. May the Hash go in peace, may the hash get a piece!

Hash Trash 2011 February 13 St. Valentine's Day Hash
Saturday was a horrible day, with gusty winds and large snowflakes falling. This horrible weather lasted from before lunch till the sun set. Everyone feared horrible weather while trying to prepare to hash a Sunday hash. The next morning was beautiful outside, partly cloudy, and warm. Naga Suck Me had been planning a Valentine's Day hash starting at Haiki Train Station. The following co-hares hashed: Naga suck Me and Texas 2.2. The following hounds were hashing: Psychodrunk, One Dog Sleeping, Brown Eyed Dragon, Pedo Kazu, Eyeful of Penis, I Kim Chi, NFN Sachi, NFN Sean, NFN Dan, NFN Ryan. We left the train station and crossed the highway running a side road till we passed a park and met back up to the highway. After running the highway for a short while, we passed behind the police koban and ran a small river before finding a large flight of stairs. As we ran to the top, we found a beautiful temple, and ran down a long concrete hill. Upon running through a cho area till we reached a walkway crossing over the top of Highway 35. Just passed the walking bridge was a "Wines and Roses" stop. No Valentine's Day is complete without chocolates inside of a pair of lace panties, and roses wrapped around bottles of strawberry wine. From there, NFN Sean offered wine to one of the local farmers, before jumping inside an abandoned wheel-less vehicle to try and get farther. Once everyone had a good laugh, we continued to run down the hill and to an apartment complex, which had a roadway behind it. We followed the road up a hill across the street and back down the next hill before wrapping through a different cho, and back to Highway 35. Once at the highway, we ran a short distance to the Daito Train Station, which had the finish line right behind it. The front running bastard was Texas 2.2 (who was the co-hair but got lost along the way) and the front running bitch was I Kim Chi. Because of the previous day's horrible weather, the down down was held at Sphincter's house. Once there hares did down downs for violations such as too many maps, bad check backs, too long of a trail, and an overall s-h-i-t-t-y-t-r-a-i-l. Three hashers were given proper names: NFN Sachi was properly named Pai Pan; NFN Sean was properly named Mama Suck Me (dare we ask?); and NFN Dan was properly named Chainsaw Assacre.

Sage was overjoyed to see how much of the 3D puzzle was finished. We completed two sides of the CMY cube this morning and saved the other two for tomorrow. Having been bedridden most of the day with a back brace, I mustered as much strength as I could to help my boy separate the cubes into four groups and then line them up in the order according to the directions.
Whereas Sage was at first skeptical about the puzzle I chose for him at Terra Toys this past weekend, he was now thankful I bought it for him. The unique piece was unlike anything the children had received in the past and the beautiful colours are truly striking together. I knew my little builder would have fun assembling the colourful cube. Locking the black rods into place proved a bit of a challenge which he mastered in a short time despite the game being rated for a starting age of ten.
The day started early after a restless night. Unable to turn from side to side without much effort and having given too much thought to issues which should not have been given so much thinking in the first place, I was weary as the morning dawned. Sage was up earlier than I was and had already gone downstairs to assemble the remaining three cubes. Afterwards, we ate the last of the challah bread for breakfast and I promised my boy I would make more later this week along with the pumpkin pie he requested last week.
Incessant rains of Saturday caused me to leave two packages of bottled water and one box of sparkling water we bought at Costco in the back of the van. It was only yesterday that I was able to bring the boxes into the house - my back issues having been caused by carrying heavy items first thing in the morning.
Sometimes setbacks will come along to challenge our steadfastness - our commitment to something. In those challenging times we need to remember the goal we set out for ourselves and continue on the path to our future despite the difficulties. Monday seemed to last forever but the promise of a new day is not far.

City officials are vigorously disputing a published report that Mayor Richard M. Daley's proposed $6-billion expansion of O'Hare International Airport will do little to ease congestion there.
City defends O'Hare plan
The plan for new and revamped runways will slash delays at O'Hare at its current level of operation and allow the aviation facility to add hundreds of thousands of flights a year before again becoming crowded, said Deputy Chicago Aviation Commissioner John Harris.
Reports to the contrary "mischaracterize" and "distort" data now being reviewed by federal aviation officials, Mr. Harris asserted.
At issue is a study prepared for the city by Ramon Ricondo & Associates, a consulting firm that is also a prime contractor for the city on the O'Hare-expansion job.
One of Ricondo's tasks has been to run computer simulations of what impact the O'Hare expansion would have on flight delays now and in the future, as the number of flights and passengers presumably increases.
The results of the simulations were included in a report sent to federal aviation authorities. The Chicago Tribune obtained a copy and in an article published this week said congestion would remain a problem and suggested that the city's own consultant has problems with the expansion plan.
U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Ill., and other O'Hare expansion foes promptly seized on the report as proof that Mayor Daley's proposal is ill-considered.
Significant improvements
In a briefing with Crain's, Messers Harris and Ricondo said the computer simulations do, in fact, show that the city's plan would cut the average flight delay to 2.5 minutes from 9 minutes at O'Hare's current demand level of roughly 900,000 flight operations a year.
The average delay will rise as O'Hare attracts more flights, they added. But the figure would not markedly exceed the current 9-minute level at least until 2030, and only if O'Hare is then handling 1.3 million flight operations a year, Mr. Ricondo said.
Even that level of delay is unlikely because it assumes there will be no technological innovations in the next 25 years that allow O'Hare to operate more efficiently, Mr. Harris said.
Average delays could exceed 30 minutes under certain circumstances, as the news report indicated, Mr. Harris conceded. But that would be under severe weather conditions which only occur 4% of the time and would occur at the 1.3 million flight-operation level. The delays would still be shorter than delays run today under similar weather conditions at 900,000 annual operations, Mr. Harris said.
He also disputed a contention that the computer simulations turned out so poorly that the city didn't even bother to try to project the impact of the 1.6 million operations a year that the city has said the revamped O'Hare could accommodate some day.
In fact, federal officials now project only about 1.1 million O'Hare operations by 2015, and the city had to extrapolate to run figures based on 1.3 million operations, Mr. Harris said. Since the report involved was being prepared for federal authorities, there was no reason to do more, Mr. Harris added.
A spokeswoman for Dallas-based American Airlines, which would have to pay for much of the expansion of O'Hare as one of the airport's two largest tenants, agreed with the city's reading of the numbers.
The newspaper report "misinterpreted the data," said a spokeswoman from AMR Corp., American's parent. "We continue to need new runways for congestion purposes."
The city contends that congestion at O'Hare now costs the airlines $390 million a year.

Now, under the title of "Obama Broke Illinois Ethics Laws" some journalists have tried to insinuate that Senator Obama broke the law as state legislator when he received "speaking fees" - see the news here: http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/obama_broke_illinois_ethics_laws_as_a_state_legislator/.
Listen, there are many formats used by OTHER politicians. "I will do the job, but please donate to my favourite charity", or "....please donate to my campaign fund." What would be the difference?
Donations to campaign funds would be tax deductible for the one who pays, and campaign funds are not taxed, so in fact Senator Obama has done more than many others have, when considered ethically. Because the tactics employed by former candidates have not been illegal per se. It is fair to speak before supporters before you speak to non-supporters, and there would be no law against that.
But this type of article shows just how DIRTY some people will play to imply wrong motives. Let me say it again, Senator Obama IS honest and he IS a worthy candidate for the office of President of the United States of America. He has disclosed all he needs to do, and poor devious attacks from his opponents won't change that. If you check both sides of the story.

Wine Art Food Festival 2018
Delicious wines, unique art & gourmet food celebrated this past Saturday at The Wine Art Food Festival in Pretoria.
Powered by Standard Bank in partnership with Power 98.7
This past weekend saw the second annual Wine Art Food Festival powered by Standard Bank celebrate a variety of the country's top wine farms at the picturesque Freedom Park venue. Over 1500 wine, art and food lovers descended on the Heritage site tripling last year's attendance figures.
"I am overwhelmed by the amount of support we have received this year from our partners and the public, it's exciting to see the vision come alive. The ambience was perfect, the weather was lovely, and most of all the people came out for this amazing experience. Following this year's success we are planning to make 2019 the best yet for guests as we break down more and more into the elements of the festival." said festival Director, Thabo Nkadimeng.
Visitors flocked to the venue to enjoy a day out in the sunny Pretoria weather for unlimited wine tastings, custom food trucks and one on one art classes that nurtured their creative flair. Throughout the day visitors got to interact with wine makers and distributors and learn about the different wine flavours from the different regions.
Upping the culture, a selection of artworks was displayed across the Amphitheater, showcasing up and coming artist's works giving them a platform to display their uniquely African art to an attentive audience. Art lovers were also engaged with art classes throughout the day where they got the chance to release their inner creative juices.
For this year's edition the event welcomed Standard Bank as headline sponsor with the aim to encourage and support local entrepreneurship. "As a brand, we were blown away by the success and quality of this event. Standard Bank is committed to supporting and growing South African entrepreneurs and judging by how much this event has grown in the short space of a year, we are honoured to be a part of moving WAFF towards its Next." explains Motlatsi Mkalala Standard Bank Tshwane, Area Manager.
Next year's Wine Art Food Festival looks to be bigger, better and to cement itself as the region's top wine festival. Stay tuned to social media for 2019 details!

The potency of different venoms varies. These are deadly.
The de Havilland DH 112 Venom was a British postwar single-engined jet aircraft developed from the de Havilland Vampire. It served with the RAF as a single-seat fighter-bomber and two-seat night fighter. The Venom was an interim between the first generation of British jet fighters – straight-wing aircraft powered by centrifugal flow jet engines such as theGloster Meteor and the Vampire.

A newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report states that Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor who passed secrets to journalists, "has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services" - but says the evidence is classified.
Snowden, 33, has been in Moscow since June 2013, when he left the country to avoid prosecution for sharing classified information about NSA and other intelligence-agency programs.
His material, provided to outlets including The Washington Post, led to some significant changes to intelligence gathering, such as a ban on the government's mass collection of Americans' phone metadata. It also sparked controversy over whether some of the revelations damaged national security.
The 37-page report, completed in September and issued in declassified form Thursday with substantial redactions, does not provide any evidence for the assertion. Instead it says the "cited material [is] classified."
Snowden has said he never gave information to Russian intelligence. He told Yahoo anchor Katie Couric in an interview this month that Russians did try to get him to talk: "And I said, 'Look, guys, I don't have any information. I don't have any documents. I'm not going to cooperate.'"
He said that "the government has left me alone, for the most part."
Ben Wizner, Snowden's attorney and a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, said that if the committee "had any evidence to support that false accusation, they would show it."
The report also cites a NPR report that quotes a Russian parliament member who, the intelligence committee said, asserted that "Snowden did share intelligence" with the government.
Snowden told Couric that the NPR report involved a "mistranslation" in which the individual was "speculating" that Russia's spy services would approach him. "It didn't happen," he said. "I've never shared information with Russia's intelligence services."
Snowden has said repeatedly that he did not take any documents when he left Hong Kong, where he had initially flown after leaving the United States in 2013. "And while I'm sure they were disappointed," he said of the Russians, "it doesn't take long for an intelligence service to realize when they're out of luck."
In a June YouTube interview, former NSA deputy director Chris Inglis said he doubted that Snowden was "in the employ of the Chinese or the Russians." Said Inglis, "I don't see any evidence that would indicate that, and even if they were careful in terms of practicing denial and deception, I think there would be certain telltales" that would show that Snowden was giving up intelligence.
The committee chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said the report gives the public "a fuller account of Edward Snowden's crimes and the reckless disregard he has shown for U.S. national security. . . . It will take a long time to mitigate the damage he caused, and I look forward to the day when he returns to the United States to face justice."
The committee's ranking Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said, "Snowden and his defenders claim that he is a whistleblower, but he isn't, as the committee's review shows."
Snowden tweeted his response: "Bottom line: this report's core claims are made without evidence, and are often contrary to both common sense and the public record."
The report's allegations come as Snowden's supporters are making a push to have President Barack Obama pardon him, arguing he is a whistleblower whose acts revealed government surveillance of breathtaking scope.
The committee has urged Obama not to grant a pardon, asserting that Snowden carried out "the largest and most damaging" leak of classified information in U.S. history.

Teaming up with Ringana
During all my years as a coach I have always remained a neutral agent to my clients and never promoted a specific supplement company – in part because I hadn't found a company worthwhile to team up with and in part because I simply couldn't be bothered to sell a specific product.
All of this changed when I was introduced to Ringana – a family run, organic, vegetarian/vegan, super ethical, free of any animal testing, and super freshly (quasi on demand) producing a nutrition supplement and natural cosmetics company – about a year ago during one of my visits to Europe. Since then I have been able to supply my clients across the globe with outstanding products – regrettably, my non-European clients cannot directly order from Ringana as they do not ship to far away destinations, such as North America or Australia. But whenever I am in Europe, I can ship the goodies as a private shipment to my peeps in the US and Canada. My peeps in Europe can order directly from them without any hassle – Ringana offers a fantastic customer support who are very anxious to help in any possible way and offer a 100% money back guarantee whenever you are dissatisfied with any of their products.

As you may have noticed already, we experienced a bug in our new billing system during the past week. Some of you were triple charged for your recurring donation associated with the VDARE Quarterly magazine. I spent most of the last 48 hours working to resolve this problem and it is now fixed.
This was not a security or hacking issue. All of your private information remains secure.
For those of you that are interested in the details, here's what happened:
Back in August, PayPal, our credit card processor, suspended our accounts without warning or explanation. We were left in the lurch, especially when it came to our recurring donations, which were all charged automatically by PayPal. We scrambled to switch to an alternative processor, and I have been working ever since to reestablish our VDARE Quarterly subscription list along with our other recurring donations. We are still missing a big chunk of them and our monthly donation numbers are still cripplingly low.
This crisis happened in the midst of another long-term and resource-intensive project that our tech team has been working on for close to two years — moving VDARE.com away from WordPress and developing a much more sophisticated functionality on the website: a shopping card, member profiles and libraries, a Book Club, visual media center, and more.
Shifting our efforts from one payment processor to another midstream was not easy. But we did it, and with a level of agility that made me proud (if stressed).
Unfortunately, however, about a month ago, as we ran some tests and migrated data to the soon-to-be-deployed new system, a detail about the new payment processor was inadvertently overlooked, and those of you signed up for the VDARE Quarterly were suddenly signed up in triplicate. To make matters worse, the email receipts were not clear and the charges seemed completely out of the blue. I didn't discover the issue until I started receiving anxious emails from understandably confused donors.
All excess subscriptions have since been deleted and all excess donations have been fully refunded.
Please accept my deepest apologies for the confusion. If you have any questions, please email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The CoolSculpting Center of Boulder is the only center specializing in Coolsculpting in the Boulder area.
The CoolSculpting Procedure is a new, non-invasive way to gently and effectively reduce fat in targeted areas of your body, resulting in noticeable, natural-looking fat reduction in the treated areas. What makes the CoolSculpting Procedure different is its advanced cooling technology that targets and eliminates fat cells. Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, the CoolSculpting Procedure is non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions. There is no need for anesthesia and there is no recovery time. The procedure is performed in a medical office, under the supervision of a physician. The CoolSculpting Procedure for non-invasive fat layer reduction is available in 52 countries worldwide and more than 5 million treatments has been performed. The CoolSculpting device is also cleared by the FDA in the United States for non-invasive fat layer reduction.
Unlike most other practices that offer CoolSculpting, the CoolSculpting Center of Boulder ONLY provides CoolSculpting. We are also one of the only medical offices who has a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of Emergency Department experience on staff performing CoolSculpting treatments.
Our packages offer patients the best price per CoolSculpting cycle. Our packages are the most cost-effective way to get the CoolSculpting results you desire. We will not waste your time trying to upsell other products and services.
There could be mild bruising in some patients, but there is no recovery time after the Procedure. You may resume your normal activities on the same day as your procedure, including work and exercise.
The length of your CoolSculpting treatment will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. The latest technology of CoolSculpting can treat a patient in 35-60 minutes, some patients have more than one treatment during the same office visit. You and your technician may also schedule additional treatments or office visits in order to meet your goals.
Ideal candidates for the CoolSculpting Procedure are within a healthy range of body weight, but have fat bulges that are not easily reduced through diet and exercise. They are seeking reduction for specific areas of fat, but are not considering a surgical procedure. The CoolSculpting Procedure is not a way to lose weight or treat obesity, and it is not a substitute for invasive methods like liposuction. During a consultation, your provider can talk with you about whether you are a good candidate for the CoolSculpting Procedure.
A follow-up visit should be scheduled with your CoolSculpting provider two to four months after your procedure to assess your cosmetic improvement and consider whether you can achieve greater fat reduction from additional CoolSculpting Procedures.
The treatment begins with the placement of a cold gel pad on the skin in the area to be treated. The applicator is placed on the gel pad and the suction is turned on. Patients will typically feel slight tugging at the skin and will feel intense cold for about 5-8 minutes until the treated area becomes numb. At that point, most patients will read, watch a movie on our smart tv or relax and enjoy a brief nap.
When the treatment concludes (35-60 minutes), our CoolSculpting Specialist will remove the applicator and the gel pad and perform a brief two minute massage in order to help break up the frozen, crystallized cells. Some patients feel some tingling and uncomfortable sensations during the massage, but it only lasts for two minutes. We encourage our patients to relax for a few minutes on the treatment bed to allow any uncomfortable sensations to subside. Once they are gone, patients can go about their day to day business. There is NO DOWNTIME with CoolSculpting.
The CoolSculpting Procedure works by means of a scientific principle called "Cryolipolysis™ invented by Drs. Manstein and Anderson at Harvard Medical School." During the procedure, a non-invasive applicator delivers precisely controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells in specific areas of your body. When fat cells are exposed to cooling during the CoolSculpting Procedure, it triggers a process of natural removal, which gradually reduces the thickness of the fat layer. The result (will vary) is a reduction in fat bulges that is visible most patients in two to four months.
Once they are gone, they are gone for good. Each CoolSculpting treatment kills 20 to 25% of the targeted fat cells. In the weeks and months following the procedure the fat cells that die are metabolized and removed from the body naturally. This process takes approximately 8 to 12 weeks, but can continue for up to 16 weeks after the treatment.

Is Your Adrenals Messing with Your Hormonal Health? Get Cortisol back into Circadian Rhythm!/
In episode 1 of our WMN's Flow + Ritual podcast, we discussed adrenal fatigue and cortisol dysregulations effect on our hormonal system. You can listen to more details along with easy and adaptable tips here.
Throughout the day, each glad in your body maintains its own circadian rhythm. You might barely notice the changes until your adrenal glands are off. Then you can feel more intensely when your hormones are active and when they are at rest. Cortisol is a part of the circadian connection and meant to secrete throughout the day in a rhythm fashion. There is a natural high surge of cortisol in the morning, called cortisol awaking response. This is to help you wake up and get going. As the day progresses, your cortisol tapers. At about midnight, your cortisol reaches a point where your body innately can restore, detox, and repair while you are asleep.
However, with chronic stress, our adrenals can be secreting cortisol during parts of the day when it would normally be dropping off. Your brain and body can get stuck in survival mode. Cortisol takes priority over all other functions in your body because your body wants to survive before anything else, even reproduction. Your body adapts and, over time, your cortisol surges come later and later. This is when you might see yourself becoming a night-owl and can't fall asleep without medicated help. Being aware of cortisol rhythms and effects is essential for hormonal and mental health.
Join the podcast to learn more about adrenal health and your hormones, including life-changing tips to be in charge of your own hormonal health today!

Sreesanth, the India fast bowler, is my latest favourite player. Not because of his cricketing credentials, but for his name. Sreesanth. It's singular; his first name is too long and complicated (it's Shanthakumaran if you must know) and I have a curious liking for names and words and things.
I don't know why…it's probably because it's so uncommon in Britain to be known nationally by your last name. Only if you're a celebrity, and usually not a very good/popular/talented one, are you afforded notoriety by your surname. In the subcontintent, it's common!
Anyway, I really am talking some rubbish here. The point of all this is highlighted by John Stern who, as I have mentioned before, is writing a diary for us at our Tour Diaries blog. And today's entry should provide great reading for those of you interested into the world of a cricket journalist (John's the Editor of The Wisden Cricketer):
But after leaving his seat and made for the exit, he promptly returned to the microphone-laden table. "I want to make an announcement,†he said. Comments like that lead to wild and excitable speculation. Journalists could see their careers flashing before their eyes. Is this the big one?
"I would like everyone to know that my name is Sreesanth. That's S-R-E-E-S-A-N-T-H. Thank you.â€
You what? We don't do jokes ten minutes before deadline. Was it a joke? Not a very funny one clearly. Apparently, there had been a misspelling of Mr Sreesanth's name (there was a U instead of an A, if you must know). And he's not amused. But the culprits have been apprehended and they will be facing him and Munaf Patel in the nets tomorrow.

The first day of October is shining brightly outside my window as I write this. The rose bush at the end of the garden is covered in a late flush of magenta blossoms, a dew-hung spider's web across the window glistens with diamonds, and the birch and laurel leaves flutter, lambent with a light that seems to come from within.

A question of scale
Today I had a long chat, rather too early in the morning, with a surprisingly pleasant man from Ernst & Young about how taxes work in the US and how to avoid getting double-taxed as I move between continents. Worrying about this kind of thing makes me feel worryingly grown-up. Luckily, I have no assets and no savings, so my tax situation is very simple. Yay! Fiscal irresponsibility pays off! Getting a bank account has been one of the most incredibly painful parts of the move. I made the huge, huge error of attempting to get a bank account via the Citibank Global Executive Banking program that came with my moving package. It was terrible. They open an account in New York, process it in Florida, and despite the fact that it's all the same bank in name, dealing with Citibank branches on the West coast is like dealing with a totally different bank. It took 3 working weeks to open the account, when they finally opened it the PIN they sent me didn't work in my ATM card, they won't give me a credit card...

Citibank: Worst bank ever?
I am almost incoherent with anger right now. In a continuing run of bad luck with me and banking, over the weekend I misplaced my long-fought-for Citibank ATM card. This was very, very irritating, because Citibank on Tuesday this week was finally going to give me access to funds that I had deposited into that account last week Saturday -- a full 11 days, 7 of them working days, to deposit money from a cheque drawn on a Citibank branch, deposited at another Citibank branch, into a Citibank account. So after waiting and waiting, I finally have the money, but now the ATM card is gone so I can't spend it. Ok, no problem, right? I'll report the card lost, then transfer money from that account into my shiny new Wells Fargo account, where I will have an ATM card sooner than the replacement card from Citibank will arrive. Or even transfer money into my UK bank account, where I already have an ATM card, though that will take almost as long. But guess what? Apparently your online banking ID is linked to...

It seemed funny at the time
So, this is going to be me talking about a dream I had. If you hate hearing people talk about their dreams, tune out now. I personally like hearing about the crazy shit our subconscious comes up with, so I share my own. So, for some reason I'm in a bar. The barman has a strong Irish accents. I'm not a customer of the bar, though, I'm more like a trainee. The barman is filling me in on the tricks of the trade, and this includes, naturally, the drinking habits of whales: "Your mink whale, that's a smallish whale with small eyes, whisky sour, and it'll drink you under, under, under the table. Completely shit faced," he says, in his charming accent. "White whales now, they'll drink you under, under, under, under, under, under the table and completely under water. Absolutely paralytic." This was accompanied by an infographic of these two types of whale on a nearby screen, showing them sinking to different depths with little stylised bottles of alcohol and double-Xs for eyes. For some reason, this was so...

Muy interesante, no? /* */ 1. How do you feel about Viacom's $1 billion lawsuit against YouTube? Media companies need to protect their rights 18% YouTube and media companies should negotiate a deal 29% YouTube shouldn't be liable at all 49% Not sure 5% So it was pretty inevitable that if you took a site based on profiting off of massive copyright infringement like YouTube clearly is, then gave it a parent company with gigantic cash reserves like Google has (that's $10 billion and counting, folks), somebody in the media industry would decide it would be more profitable to just take them for everything they have rather than merely a share of advertising revenue. And to be fair, the media industry does have something of a point. They hired the artists, the equipment, the sets, the buildings, the producers, and everything, spent years making all this content, and then YouTube started selling that content to other...

A proud day
Here every creed and race Find an equal place and may God bless our nation (from The Trinidadian National Anthem) The Archdeacon of Tobago doesn't want Elton John to perform at the Plymouth* Jazz festival. Because he's not a jazz singer? No, because he's gay. And because Trinidad and Tobago is not so great at keeping its laws up to date and has altogether too many religions, there are still laws on the books against sodomy: passed as recently as 1986, the law provides for up to 10 years in prison for homosexual acts between consenting adults (but if you are a minor, and you commit the act, it's only five years... how lenient!). There's also another, much older law which prevents "self-confessed prostitutes and homosexuals" from entering the country, but I cannot find any record of it online. It doesn't look like this will really happen, of course. Gay rights has come a long way in Trinidad in recent years. But this kind of story just makes me want to weep for my stupid,...

So today I went to see Barack Obama address a rally in Oakland, roughly the equivalent of making a trip to zone four -- not crazy far, but you don't go there much. I was glad I went. Photos of the event are already turning up on Flickr. The first thing that surprised me was that the event was ticketed: there were huge, and I mean huge lines to get into a gated off area in front of a stage where Obama was to be speaking. The tickets were free, though, and they were handing them out outside the gates -- you just had to sign up with your name and email address, presumably so they can spam you later for fundraising purposes. Alright by me: as a non-resident alien, I can't vote and I can't donate money, so I can only very indirectly support the campaign. The crowd was interesting in itself. Firstly, keep in mind that the election is still not for another, oh, 20 months or so. So the fact that there was a rally at all was interesting. The second is the composition of the crowd: Oakland is a very black city, to...

Miscellaneous followups
So, regular readers* keep asking me a few questions about earlier posts, so I have a few loose ends to tie up. Why, yes, I did find a Popstarz equivalent, and it's called Popscene. Why do indie clubs all have the word "pop" in their names? It's mainly straight, but only in as much as SF is mostly straight, so no end of gays. I did finally get a replacement bed for the too-soft one that was ruining my back. It's lovely. I feel like a character out of The Sims after you buy them a 10 Comfort bed: I sleep less but feel more refreshed and my productivity has risen. The weather is absolutely awesome. I love sunshine, and there's so much more of it here (although as I type this it is rainy and overcast; the first time in days). It's even geekier than I thought. Futurama references are actually not geeky enough. The hippies are hilarious, and ubiquitous. You just begin to take it for granted that everything you eat is organic/fairtrade/vegetarian/dusted with pixie stardust. Work's going very nicely...

The countdown is over and the Yahoo! Widgets 4 is officially launched! It's fun to be able to be part of launching a product that I'd actually recommend my friends use. So go get it! In other Widgety news, you can check out our Flickr stream (add konfabulistas as a contact; we'll add you so you can see friends-only photos) and stalk our PM on twitter. Check out posts like Why build a Widget? and some early tutorials as well as the spiffy new manual that yours truly spent quite some time bashing into a functional state. It's now 1am. Can I sleep now? Update: it seems people really like us.
