El Sortidor, a classic in Poble Sec
Back in the day, since the houses didn´t have a refrigerator yet, el Sortidor provided ice to the Poble Sec district. Later on, during the next forty years, the Janiu family served the best anchovies of the city, accompanied by good vermouth.
Because of its trajectory, in the year 2008, the city council gave el Sortidor a plate of recognition for one hundred years of service to the city.
Nowadays el Sortidor still maintains its character; the original modern style doors from 1908, the marble tables and the wooden chairs.
At el Sortidor you can eat tapas, take an appetizer, have lunch or have dinner in an intimate and cosy ambiance.

IT'S a bit ironic that so much dosh is being spent grubbing about for any sign of life on Mars when we still have only a vague inkling of the life that once existed on Earth. Only a few hundred thousand fossil species have been described for the more than 3.8 billion years that life has been around on our planet - less than 0.01 per cent of species that have existed.
Biologists have plenty to catch up on, and palaeontologists have only begun to scratch the surface. Edward Petuch's

Well, I hacked multicd to create iso9660 ISO images and burn them. It
seems that it currently burns ext2 onto a CD. The author pointed out that
with an ext2 file system he would know how much data would be written,
but with iso9660, he wouldn't. I left some space for overhead and then
I modified it so it would write an ISO9660 image. It's a pretty bad hack
at the moment.

The Pengueeni, which is about 3 inches tall, is designed to vibrate in a way that could reduce the pain of pricking the skin with a lance to draw blood.
Video by Bruce Crippen
Racquel Redwood and a group of UC students created Pengueeni. Bruce Crippen | Courier
The UpTake: Racquel Redwood doesn't remember the grade she got when she came up with the idea for an invention that could ease the pain of children testing blood sugar. But she does remember winning an innovation competition and launching her invention, the Pengueeni.
"My plan is to bring it to commercialization," Redwood said of the Pengueeni. Sunnie Southern, the CEO of Viable Synergy and founder of Innov8 for Health, "has been really helpful in linking me up with different resources," Redwood said. "My next step is market research."
Redwood, who lives in West Chester, graduated from UC in 2012 and earned a master's degree in biomedical engineering last year from Cornell University in New York. Now, she's a quality engineer in the research and development department of Ethicon in Blue Ash, which makes tools for minimally invasive surgery.
"I was in the medical device innovation program at the University of Cincinnati," Redwood said. "It basically brings together engineering with design.
"When we see diabetes, we (tend to) focus in on how do we cure people," she said. "We don't look at the people. That kind of instilled the fact if you have a design or a product that appeals to a person's senses, it can help empower them if they have a disease.
"For the functional design, there were two engineers," Redwood said. "And two designers worked on the actual penguin."
She and engineering student Joel Fladen were credited as the inventors, Redwood said. The designers were Casey Schneider and Lily daMota, students in UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP).
Redwood said Fladen was out of town, so she entered the Innov8 for Health competition on her own.
Redwood said she and Fladen were recently granted a provisional patent.
"The current technology we're using is vibration to reduce the pain, but we're also going to experiment with hot and cold," she said.

3M chemical not in cities' drinking water
State health officials announced Friday that chemicals formerly used by 3M are not in Minneapolis' or St. Paul's drinking water. Officials said that the chances of the chemicals being in the water were slim, but performed the tests as a precaution.
The Pioneer Press added that the tests were performed after the chemicals were found in fish lakes in Minneapolis.
Both articles should have discussed, or mentioned, the previous stories about 3M chemicals in drinking water in the eastern suburbs, but didn't.

The Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP), Lagos Television chapter, has appealed to the state government to restore the monthly N17 million subvention to the station stopped two years ago.
Mr James Ogunbanjo, Chairman of the union made the appeal at a news conference on Thursday in Ikeja.
Ogunbanjo said the stoppage of the subvention had affected the smooth operations of the state-owned media organisation, pointing out that the station had since found it very difficult to effectively discharge its responsibilities.
"The situation has particularly affected the payment of salaries of pensions as and when due, and has put the competitiveness and survival of the organisation in jeopardy.
"The wage bill of LTV has now hit N26 million owing to the implementation of the new national minimum wage. This is big burden compared to the between 12 to 13 million naira it was paying as salaries when there was subvention.
"How then does the station meet its obligations to its workers as pensioners when the same government that has asked it to be financially autonomous does not pay for the services rendered to it by the station?
"The government continues to approve recruitment into the station, yet it is not paying subvention to cater for the extra burden. We do not want LTV to die, what is happening now is not good for its survival, " he said.
The chairman noted that workers and pensioners were feeling the pains of the stoppage, saying most of them found it hard to live.
Ogunbanjo said that LTV should be empowered to perform the statutory function of government's mouthpiece, adding that asking it to compete with over 18 private stations for revenue was an aberration.
He advised the state government to borrow a leaf from the Federal Government, which according to him has properly funded and successfully used the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) to project its activities.
Ogunbanjo also urged the state government to implement, as a matter of urgency, the 142 per cent increase in pension approved by the Federal Government 10 years ago.
He explained that since the approval, the federal government, as well as all the state governments, apart from Lagos and Osun, had implemented it.
"This is a bit surprising. Lagos is known to be the centre of excellence and it is expected that it would have done this long before other states.
"Though we heard that provisions have been made for it in the 2013 budget, we are only appealing to Gov. Babatunde Fashola to ensure that the increase is implemented with the arrears.
"We are pensioners. We served the state well in our active years .We only hope the state government will do the necessary thing and pay us what is due to us promptly, " Ogunbanjo said.

Come breathe in the nostalgia of Joseph Sterling's portraits of adolescence
Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s kids were cooler than they are now. They smoked, drank and got themselves tattooed with reckless abandon for they knew nothing of carcinogenic side-effects and hepatitis. They also had much better hair – so much so that the short back and sides with pomade slicked through it remains the haircut of choice for the achingly cool of London, New York and Paris.
Joseph Sterling must have known he was witnessing sartorial greatness and pure hedonistic abandon at the time, and his photographic series The Age of Adolescence perfectly captures that blissful era for all to enjoy (and envy). Whether riding in cars, hanging out on the beach, sluicing down dollar shakes or getting their biceps inked, the characters in Sterling's images make us feel desperate pangs of nostalgia for a time we never even lived through – which speaks volumes about the sheer power of great photography.

The aim of this extension is to expose enough information to applications about how the driver manages the set of front and back buffers associated with a given surface to allow applications to re-use the contents of old frames and minimize how much must be redrawn for the next frame.
There are lots of different ways for a driver to manage these buffers, from double buffering, different styles of triple buffering and even n-buffering or simply single buffer rendering. We also need to consider that power management events or memory pressure events might also result in some of the buffers not currently in-use being freed.
This extension lets applications query the age of the back buffer contents for a GLX surface as the number of frames elapsed since the contents were most recently defined. The back buffer can either be reported as invalid (has an age of 0) or it may be reported to contain the contents from n frames prior to the current frame.
Once the application has queried the buffer age, the age of contents remains valid until the end of the frame for all pixels that continue to pass the pixel ownership test.

Billabong Surf With A Pro At Kandui Resort: Day 6
Lay Day In Paradise
The morning dawned gray and flat yet it was a welcome relief from the burning sun and we all had a chance to let our bodies rest up in anticipation of the much-talked about upcoming swell.
After a big breakfast it was time for a few of the campers to sit down with Shane and Rasta for a surfing tutorial. With the selected campers video clips from the last couple days playing on a computer monitor, the pros talked the bros (and broette Tiffany) how they can improve their surfing, no matter what level they are currently at. Shane's really good at the coaching aspect of it and has been able to improve several campers surfing with just a few key points like how to maintain speed by staying high on the wave and how to improve backside surfing by opening up your shoulders.
Doing a bit of eavesdropping, I got a couple backside tube riding tips that I'm hoping to put to use when Rifles comes out of its slumber…
Random lay day notes:
-"There's no such thing as bad surf, just bad equiptment choices."—Dave Rastovich
-There are no cars, cell phones, or air pollution out here. The air is so clean I haven't had a booger to pick all week. It's also refreshing to have a conversation with some one where they actually look you in the eye instead of tweak on the Blackberry.

ON YOUR kitchen table are the following implements: a chainsaw, a wooden mallet and a pair of boxing gloves. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use one of these tools to split an atom.
It is, of course, a ridiculous assignment, but it would sound like child's play to researchers studying quantum gravity. They believe that the very fabric of space-time is a seething foam of wormholes and tiny black holes a hundred billion billion times smaller than a proton. But the experimental tools available to test this idea are absurdly clumsy: the best particle accelerators can barely examine scales a million billion times larger.

I have loved the inventive work of textile artist Karen Barbé for ages (you can find my first post about her work, here). The thoughtful way she creates her work by hand is beyond inspiring. Her latest collection of wares (totes, aprons, and tea towels) is both gorgeous to look at and wallet-friendly…so I couldn't wait to share them with you all today. Don't you just love what she creates?! Karen's blog (both in Spanish and English) is also not to be missed. Visit the Karen Barbé shop here.

Tantramar WetlandsŌĆłCentre student volunteers Mark Oulton, left, and Ryan Perkins provide Grade 4 Salem Elementary students with an up-close look at some of the small critters that live within the wetlands habitat. The Grade 4 class visited the wetlands centre at Tantramar Regional High School last week as part of Ducks Unlimited CanadaŌĆÖs Project Webfoot, a program which has seen 100,000 students from New Brunswick receive wetland education. See story on page 7. TOWERŌĆłPHOTO
SACKVILLE, N.B. ŌĆō A program that helps young children in New Brunswick develop an enthusiasm for wetlands and the creatures that live there hit a significant milestone last week.
Ducks Unlimited Canada celebrated its 100,000th Grade 4 student having gone through its Project Webfoot program, many of whom have taken part in the hands-on learning offered at SackvilleŌĆÖs own Tantramar Wetlands Centre.
Project Webfoot has provided wetland education to kids since 1996, a program that aims to give youth a better understanding of the wetland habitats and the reasons why wetlands are so valuable to humans. Through interactive activities and exploration of the wetlands, Project Webfoot links to the Grade 4 science curriculum, which features a unit on habitat and communities.
ŌĆ£It encourages the teachers to use the wetland habitat as part of their lesson plan,ŌĆØ said Sarah Green, an education specialist with DU Atlantic, during last weekŌĆÖs visit to the Tantramar Wetlands Centre.
The teachers are provided with resource kits and can plan field trips to wetlands in their area, said Green.
Krista Elliott, communications coordinator with Ducks Unlimited, said DU has been partnering with the Wetlands Centre for more than 10 years now to offer Project Webfoot. The program encourages students to pursue related studies and careers in conservation.
ŌĆ£It all comes back,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£They develop an interest at a young age and gain an appreciation for it . . . and then some of them end up working for Ducks Unlimited or Environment Canada or other conservation groups.ŌĆØ
Elliott said the program has been able to survive for nearly 20 years thanks to community support. Not only does DU get business sponsorship each year to assist with the program, but Project Webfoot also has a number of partners and individuals who help keep it on its feet.
ŌĆ£This gives us the means to bring the classes out so thereŌĆÖs no cost to the school,ŌĆØ she said.

They don't insist on subsidizing. You can walk in and pay full price for a phone and not have the contract extended (though it doens't typically work for brand new customers) But how many choose to go that route? I'm guessing less than 1% of 1%.

Photography: We love Rachel King's portraits of famous comedians
Pictures of comedians tend to fall into two broad camps; the look-how-zany-I-am type or the sad-clown-away-from-the-spotlight. Both have their place but can be frustratingly broadbrush. That's one of the reasons why Rachel King's new series is so fascinating; because it breaks the mould. Rachel approached various leading funny men and women and asked them what satire meant to them, and artists India Banks and Frode Gjerlow then created sets and props which represented their answers.
The intriguing series sees Davied Baddiel haunted by his own catchphrases, Jonny Vegas trussed up like a turkey serving himself up on a platter and Sara Pascoe in a gorgeously grotesque fat suit. The Face of Satire is not just a visual treat, but also takes the pulse of an artform the heyday of which many (erroneously) think has passed.
The images go on show at BFI Southbank in London this weekend as part of the London Comedy Film Festival.

Eating Oakland up
By awoodall
Sounds like the Uptown club booking some hot players. "Here's to Oakland! My fucking family!" So the May San Francisco Magazine article quoted Matt Pike, singer and guitarist for Oakland-born metal trio High on Fire. Used to be, you'd have to pay the magazine to print a story this city. It was, to quote a freelance SF Magazine writer, a black hole in terms of coverage from that side of the bay — like the only city was THE CITY, San Francisco. Instead, next on the Oakland tour in May's issue was Flora, Brown Sugar Kitchen, and, as part of the Sabor Mexicano centerfold, the Fruitvale's Tortas Ahogadas Mi Barrio, Nieves Cinco de Mayo, Mariscos La Costa, Mi Pueblo Food Center, Taqueria La Gran Chiquita, Taqueria Campos.

I thought I would be protected by historical precision, reputation, syllogism and sincerity.
late 14c., from Old French silogisme "a syllogism," from Latin syllogismus, from Greek syllogismos "a syllogism," originally "inference, conclusion, computation, calculation," from syllogizesthai "bring together, premise, conclude," literally "think together," from syn- "together" (see syn-) + logizesthai "to reason, count," from logos "a reckoning, reason" (see logos).
For example, every virtue is laudable; kindness is a virtue; therefore kindness is laudable.
Strangely, a syllogism can still be true if the premises are false. Compare inference rule.

Films and Scans
A 47-year-old male presents to your emergency room following a motor vehicle accident. The second year resident gathers in the history that he was a restrained front-seat passenger in a car that was traveling approximately 45 mph when the car was rear-ended. Airbags were deployed and the remainder of the passengers in his car were unharmed.
A 49-year-old, right-hand- dominant male presents to the emergency department with right shoulder pain. The patient was playing volleyball and immediately after spiking the ball felt severe pain to the right shoulder. He was unable to lower the arm, and states that he feels numb over the arm and fingers.
Distal radial fractures are among the most common fractures in childhood, and are a frequent presenting complaint in the emergency department. Traditionally, ED management of displaced distal radial fractures in children has included closed reduction and splinting of displaced fractures, usually under sedation.
A 40-year-old Hispanic female presented to our Emergency Department complaining of upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting for 1 day. She denies fever; last bowel movement was the previous day. She has no history of prior abdominal surgeries and past medical history was unremarkable. Vital signs were normal except for tachycardia at 112 bpm.
Consider this scenario. You're nearing the end of another busy shift in the emergency department but muster the energy to pick up one more chart…a healthy 65-year-old female with a foot injury. The x-rays are done. Should be a quick dispo, right?
A 45-year-old woman presents to the ED with two days of abdominal pain which was gradual in onset and became severe and diffusely distributed...
A 23-year-old male presents to the Emergency Department (ED) with 4 days of a persistent sensation of a 'fish bone' stuck in his throat. Patient ate fish tacos 4 nights prior to arrival. The patient describes feeling a sharp foreign body stuck along the right side of his upper throat, just proximal to the angle of his mandible. The pain is worse with swallowing, and turning his head to the right.
An 11-year-old female with no significant past medical history, presents with a five day history of right shoulder pain. The patient's mother reports that the patient was "horsing around" with her older brother five days ago. She attempted to slap her brother using her arm when she immediately felt a "popping" sensation in her right shoulder. She was taken to a local emergency department where she was evaluated, imaged, and discharged home with the diagnosis of "shoulder strain".
Before starting efforts at intubating any airway with laryngeal pathology, it must be appreciated by all caring for the patient that rescue ventilation may not work if the epiglottis or larynx is swollen or distorted. This applies to the LMA, King LT, and mask ventilation. If intubation through the nose or mouth doesn't work, a rapid surgical airway will likely be required.

A Photon of Mass
In a 1948 letter to Lincoln Barnett, Einstein wrote; "It is not good to
introduce the concept of the mass M = m/(1-v2/c2)1/2 of a body for which
no clear definition can be given.(Photon of Mass)*
It is better to introduce no other mass than `the rest mass´ m.*
Instead of introducing M., it is better to mention the expression for
the momentum and energy of a body in motion." (Massless Photon)
The viewpoint above, emphasising the distinction between mass, momentum,
and energy, is certainly the modern view.* 55 years later, can
relativistic mass be laid to rest?
The energy inherent in a gram, or any other quantity of matter is
precisely the quantity of energy necessary to accelerate its mass to a
velocity equal to the velocity light by energy conversion.
This statement may be hotly disputed by some of your Earth students \who
have not yet learned to distinguish between matter and mass.
There are 2 types of mass, inertial mass, which is simply the property
of resistance to change in a state of motion, and the mass inherent in
matter, which we will call Newtonian mass because it includes all mass
which obeys the original laws laid down by Sir Isaac Newton.
The argument is to the effect that no mass can ever be accelerated to
the velocity of light since the mass would then be 'infinite' and
CONSENQUENTIONALY light, since the mass would then be 'infinite' and
consequently the energy required to produce the velocity would also be
The electron has mass only because it has electric charge. As we know,
when an electric charge is
accelerated in Space, a magnetic field is produced,at the expense of the
particle's total electrostatic charge, and energy is required to produce
this conversion.
The energy 'spent' in producing this field is said to be the 'mass' of
the electron, since it is the entire cause of its resistance to
acceleration. The greater the degree of acceleration, of course, the
more intense the field, and the greater the amount of energy required to
produce it.
So we say that the electron gains 'mass' with every increase in its
In actuality, for every increase in velocity, the electrostatic
condition decreases, and the magnetic condition increases, and at the
speed of light, all the elecrostatic condition of the electron has been
converted into a magnetic condition
If an electron could be accelerated to the velocity of light, it would
have acquired the maximum velocity with which energy can be propagated,
the conversion process completed.
It is obvious, therefore, that no amount of energy could further
accelerate this electron (with respect to its original reference point),
so it would be considered to have acquired the illusion of 'infinite'
From the formula relating relativistic mass to invariant mass, it
follows that the invariant mass of a photon must be zero, but its
relativistic mass need not be.*
The phrase "The rest mass of a photon is zero" might sound nonsensical
because the photon can never be at rest; but this is just a side effect
of the terminology, since by making this statement, we can bring photons
into the same mathematical formalism as the everyday particles that do
have rest mass.*
In modern physics texts, the term mass when unqualified means invariant
mass, and photons are said to be "massless", a photon of light
consisting of just momentum and pressure, and frequency.
The incorrectness of this assumption can be demonstrated simply by
pressing the button of a pocket laser pointer.
A beam of light will be produced which any physicist will agree has
mass, and magnetic pinch, and by very definition, moving at the velocity
of light.
Yet all the energy required is released by a small amount of chemical
change taking place within the cells of a battery

Ganglioneuromas are fully differentiated neuronal tumours that do not contain immature elements 1. They tend to occur in the paediatric population and are often asymptomatic. Usually, patients are older than 10 years old, compared to neuroblastoma which occurs in patient younger than 3 years old.
Pathologically, they are composed of ganglion cells, Schwann cells and fibrous tissue. They are neuroblastic tumours, i.e. arising from primitive cells of the sympathetic system.
- multiple endocrine neoplasia type IIb 5-6: particularly with mucosal ganglioneuromas
Can potentially occur anywhere along the peripheral autonomic ganglion sites. The posterior mediastinum one of the commonest locations 2 (~ 40%). Occurrence in retroperitoneum, neck and adrenal gland is also relatively common.
Radiographic features
Lesions are generally well defined and can be quite large at presentation.
Typically seen as well-circumscribed, solid, encapsulated masses. Tend to be iso to hypoattenuating to muscle 8. May demonstrate calcifications (~20% 2,4)
Reported signal characteristics include
- T1: tends to have homogeneously low or intermediate signal
- T2: tends to have heterogenously intermediate or high signal
- T1 C+ (Gd): variable ranging from none to heterogenous enhancement
- ADC: ADC values tend to be higher to that of a neuroblastoma 9
Differential diagnosis
The differential depends on location; for thoracic lesions, consider the differential for a posterior mediastinal mass.

Scientists working for Japan's ministry of health are studying "magic mushrooms" with a view to banning them. Despite having very tough anti-drugs laws, Japan allows the sale of hallucinogenic mushrooms. A loophole in Japanese law means that the mushrooms can be eaten so long as the user has no knowledge of their hallucinogenic properties and does not attempt to isolate the active compounds. Laws on selling packed vegetables even require that the mushrooms have a "best before" date on their packaging.

Does IT matter … in Australian supermarkets?
This article is by James Dellow, general manager of Social Business Consulting at Ripple Effect Group (formerly Headshift). It first appeared on his blog and is licensed under a Creative Commons licence.
analysis Writing in ITNews, technology journalist Liz Tay compares the IT strategies of Australia's major banks and supermarkets – she see parallels with a University of Melbourne paper that categorised CIOs as either "trusted senior executive leader" (Commonwealth Bank, Woolworths) or "chief technology mechanic" (Westpac, Coles). She quotes Forrester analyst Tim Sheedy, who comments:
"IT isn't the be all and end all," Sheedy said. "It can be a differentiator for those organisations that choose it to be a differentiator, like the Commonwealth Bank."
Looking at Woolworths in particular as an example of an IT leader (versus Coles, who invested more in marketing, but have also migrated to Microsoft SharePoint Online), they have just announced plans to move 25,000 staff over the next 12 months to Google Apps, which if successful will be followed by a full-deployment to all 200,000 staff.
According to Woolworth's CIO they selected Google Apps because: "Simplicity and ease of use of the solution, the support for mobility, activity-based working and bring-your-own-device, security and the overall value proposition." Interesting to note the use of the phrase, "activity-based working", although its not entirely clear what that means in a retail environment or if this is a reference to office-based staff.
Looking over the coverage of Woolworths in recent months, its still not an entirely homogenous enterprise IT environment (and you wouldn't expect it to be):
- SAP as their core back-end system.
- iPads for mobility (for store managers).
- Microsoft Yammer as their enterprise social network (how they use this with Google+ isn't clear).
- Google Apps for messaging, productivity and collaboration.
With the iPad they introduced a number of in-house apps, some running on Google's App Engine. However, with all these announcements I've heard nothing about what we might classically think of as the 'intranet'. I also wonder if they considered using SAP Jam as their enterprise social network?
Woolworths also appear to have a come along way by embracing the cloud. My memories of interactions with Woolworths in the past was a company with very strict information security policies, so either an IT changing of the guard has taken place or they are confident that Google (and Yammer) can meet their standards. But the far bigger question, as Sheedy argues, can Woolworths actually use technology in this way as a differentiator?
Because of current market dynamics in Australia, where Coles and Woolworths dominate the supermarket sector (together, they hold 80% of the Australian market versus only 48% and 20% of the major chains in the UK and US respectively) this really is about the ability of both companies to out perform the other in some way.
The SMH reported recently that: "Coles has posted its fastest sales growth in two years as the resurrection of the once ailing supermarket group enters its fifth year and the retailer continues to strip away customers from rival Woolworths as well as other food stores." However, Coles is fighting on price, not technology. So can Woolworths be the Commonwealth Bank of Australian supermarkets?
One notable case study from the same industry is SuperValue in the US, who last May talked about using Yammer as a tool to support the turn around of that business:
"SUPERVALU is focused on acting as one company, working toward a common goal of delivering increased value to all of our customers and meeting their needs store by store to become America's Neighborhood Grocer. Internally, we are working to drive an open, transparent and agile culture, while continuing to bolster what makes us great – our associates, history and heritage."
Unfortunately, a year later the company continues to struggle.
But leading with technology doesn't mean throwing technology at the problem. You need to do something different with it. That's the challenge for Woolworths.

Woolworths is a retail store so most of their focus will be on improving the retail experience through staff training and improving stock management, IT only comes in for the self serve checkouts (at least on the consumer side) where people interact with Woolworths IT and personally I feel like woolies is better than coles in the UI side, but it seems like advertising is a bigger player than convenience
Rory – yes, its ultimately about the customer experience but IT impacts that experience in many ways. For example – supermarkets are engaging with customers online when they aren't even inside the store, they are offering services that go beyond the product on the shelf, and are investing in loyalty programs – all using IT in some way and all in an attempt to gain extra customer wallet share (and keep it). So I think there is room to do much more. Even in respect to staff training, the right technologies can also improve its effectiveness.
James like the staff training angle. What has not been called out is the opportunity a corporate YouTube channel provides to showcase our stars in the pursuit of customer excellence, the methods of our best bakers, butchers and so on. It's our view that the power of collaboration, implicit in the Google suite is something that can really help us differentiate.
I hear that at Coles the oncall Engineer has a special alert tone for when there is a problem.
Down down, the server is down!
/Dad joke.

Both of you will benefit from the experiences and the 'unknowing' one may actually fall right into a sort of natural Tantric rhythm once a few sessions have happened.

I'll Have What She's Having: How Mirror Neurons and Music Increase Pleasure
I went to see Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal the other night in Oakland California. The setting was beautiful and the crowd was thrilled with the music and the vibes. Late in the program, as they sang a lusty, bluesy song together Taj began to wave his hands in the air and he encouraged us all to do it with him. Everyone began waving their hands and arms in the air and we all fell into a side-to-side sweeping, wave of ecstatic dancing! We were like one big sea anemone, an organism, waving in a sea of music and bodies and bliss. Continue reading

Re-Wilding Your Life
If your cultural and family views didn't hold so much weight, you might experience more freedom in your life to have the kind of love, sex and open-hearted intimacy that you really, in your heart of hearts, know is possible. You might have even experienced the essence of this a few times in your life.

Unplugged Tantra: 3 Easy Steps to Recharging for Two
If you're putting off sensual and sexual activities because you're too tired or busy you are undermining your emotional connection with your lover and your self. The neurotransmitter oxytocin is the bonding hormone that is produced during birthing, breastfeeding, nipple stimulation, kissing, orgasm, eye gazing and touching. In fact, researchers are finding more actions to attribute the release of oxytocin to all the time. Whether it is a big expression or a relatively small dose, this is the stuff of emotional bonding, relaxation and lasting love. Five out of the seven things on the list above occur during sex!… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Julius Hodge
June 13, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. - If you are a true North Carolina State basketball fan, you already know about his 2,040 career points. You already know about his spectacular four-year career - capped off with ACC Player of the Year honors for his efforts during his senior campaign in 2005. If you're a true Wolfpack fan, you know the player in question is none other than Julius Melvin Hodge, the 3rd leading scorer of all-time at North Carolina State University.
The Harlem, N.Y., native and 2001 McDonald's All-American out of St. Raymond High School (Bronx, N.Y.) enrolled at NC State in the fall of 2001 and the rest is history. Amid heavy expectations, Hodge delivered the goods.
When the smoke cleared, Hodge etched out one of the finest careers in the history of the program. Despite running out of eligibility at the collegiate level in 2005, Hodge was just getting started on a basketball journey that has since seen him play professionally on four different continents.
After Hodge wrapped up his legendary career at State, preparation immediately ensued for the 2005 NBA draft.
While most draft participants flocked to destination workout facilities in places like Florida or Las Vegas, Hodge remained in Raleigh to finish his degree.
"I never understood the guys who leave campus as soon as the season's over, the guys who abandon their degree. The best players in the world only play basketball until they're about 34, so you always have to have a back up plan. Education is important," says Hodge.
Instead of splitting town, Hodge stayed on campus and worked with Eric Lichter, a weight and strength training specialist.
"Eric was great man. We did all types of stuff to really help me get an advantage. We did a lot of explosion work with different weight regimens. Eric helped me get up to 218 pounds and I think the extra weight was really helpful during live competition," Hodge recalls.
Today, Eric Lichter is the Director of Football Performance for Ohio State University.
In the days leading up to the draft, Hodge was both excited and nervous. With some tremendous workouts in front of NBA general managers, Hodge's draft stock continued to steadily improve. Entering draft day, Hodge was confident he would be a first round draft pick. When the Denver Nuggets announced their first round selection, the 20th overall pick in the 2005 draft, Hodge's confidence came to fruition.
Hodge recalls draft day fondly, saying, "Getting drafted into the NBA was hands down one of the best days of my life. Growing up, playing in the NBA was my lifelong goal. Getting drafted was a blessing and I was lucky to be able to realize my dream."
After two years in the NBA, Hodge decided it would be in his best interest to embark on a career overseas. While Hodge received several invitations to NBA training camps, he had no guaranteed NBA offers. In the fall of 2007, Hodge accepted an offer from Pallacanestro Varese, a professional basketball club that plays in Lega Basket Serie A, the top level of Italian basketball. The Italian professional basketball lifestyle had its perks, as Hodge moved into a 5 bedroom home provided by the Varese, Italy based team. The team also provided him with a vehicle and a lifestyle that Hodge was comfortable with.
After his time in Italy, Hodge moved on to play in Australia with two clubs called The Adelaide 36ers (2007 - 2009) and The Melbourne Tigers (2009 - 2010). It was in Australia that Hodge began to see some of the beauties of the world outside the United States. Hodge calls Australia "by far" the most beautiful place he has played professionally, citing Melbourne as one of his favorite cities in the world. Despite his love for the "land down under," he received a contract offer for the 2010 - 2011 season that he could not refuse. The offer came from the Petrochimi Bandar Imam Basketball Club, an Iranian professional basketball club based in Mahshahr, Iran. They compete in the Iranian Basketball Super League. While the money was great in Iran, Hodge did not enjoy living in Iran as much as some of his other countries.
"I enjoyed playing in Iran, but the lifestyle out there was one that I just never could get used to. I couldn't walk more than 10 meters without an officer of the law asking me for identification, or what I was doing in Iran. It was not a family environment. I just didn't feel comfortable out there," says Hodge.
For the 2011 - 2012 season, Hodge moved on to play for BC Tsmoki-Minsk, a basketball club based in Minsk, Belarus. The team plays in the Belarus Premier League, the VTB United League and the EuroChallenge.
"Belarus was cool. I was in a beautiful city called Minsk. People there weren't as warm to Americans as they had been in some other cities, but I enjoyed my time there nonetheless. Iranians get a bad reputation for not liking Americans, but I had a much more difficult time in Minsk. Due to a weak economy, the team ended up having trouble making payments to me on time. Since the payments were not as frequent as they were supposed to be, I ended up using a clause in my contract to end my time with the club before the season ended," explains Hodge.
After Belarus, Hodge signed a contract to play for the Saigon Heat during the 2011 - 2012 season, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
"Being able to live in that part of the world was definitely an adventure. My family even lived over there with me for a few months. People really appreciated basketball over there. People loved basketball so much; they did whatever they could to keep playing. It was crazy actually. For the first time in my professional career, other players had 9-5 jobs. During the daytime, one of my teammates was a chef; another one was a police officer. You know the age old joke, `don't quit your day job'? These guys actually didn't. It was very different from what I was used to," Hodge recalls.
The 2012 - 2013 season saw Hodge join forces with a couple former ACC foes. Playing for Levallois Basket, a Paris, France based basketball club, Hodge was a teammate of Sean May and Jawad Williams, two former North Carolina Tar Heels.
"It's actually funny because I have known Jawad since we were about 13 years old from playing basketball against each other. Jawad and I are really cool. Jawad and I played on the Adidas AAU Circuit since we were kids. Sean, though, that took some getting used to. Even though he's a Tar Heel, I ended up gaining a ton of respect for Sean. He's a really smart player and because of his high basketball IQ he was really enjoyable to play with," Hodge explains.
For next season, Hodge has yet to determine exactly where he will be playing.
"I'm not sure exactly where I'll be next year yet, but I know I'll be playing somewhere. I'll probably either be back in France or the Middle East. I've been fielding a lot of interest. I haven't made a decision yet."
There is no timetable for the decision, as Hodge says whenever the right offer comes, he'll jump on it. For now, his plans are to remain in Raleigh with his wife and two children to continue his grueling offseason workout regimen on campus at State.
For Hodge, a self proclaimed "movie buff," the overseas life is one that took some getting used to initially, but he now very much enjoys. When overseas, he spends his free time finding movie theatres that have English voiceovers or subtitles. If no theatres are playing American movies, he hangs out at his apartment watching American television shows like Family Guy, Game of Thrones, and True Blood. Hodge also spends his time following his Wolfpack basketball family closely, no matter where in the world he is playing.
Hodge credits his time at State as the foundation of his maturity and ability to stay focused overseas. Hodge reflects on his time at State fondly.
"Looking back at my years at NC State, the number one thing I'm thankful for is the way NC State helped me transition from being a young adolescent into a grown, educated, young black man. It was definitely four years that I loved and will cherish forever."
As excited as Hodge gets about his previous experiences in Raleigh, it is the future of NC State that continues to excite Hodge.
"The biggest thing anyone will realize coming to NC State is that it's just a great family atmosphere. Since I've been back in the summers, Coach Gottfried has treated me like I was one of his own. Just from being around in the summers I see that Coach Gottfried expects the most from his players but he will be there to help bring it out. The current coaching staff does a great job of developing players. Not to mention the fact that it's a great league. The ACC was already stacked to begin with but now adding Pitt, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Louisville - the future of the league and NC State is as bright as it gets."
It's very telling that when Hodge returns home from overseas each and every offseason, he returns to live in Raleigh. It tells you how much he loves not just the city of Raleigh, but North Carolina State University. For a New York City kid, Raleigh offers Hodge a peaceful existence that might not be easy to attain if he went home to Harlem. Spending his off-seasons in Raleigh makes Hodge happy. The appreciation created during his time at State proves that his most beloved recollections of NC State extend far greater than the basketball floor. Julius Hodge is a prime example of how playing basketball at NC State can raise you to great heights, both on and off the court.
This summer, Hodge can be found working his youth basketball camp, Camp24Hodge. Camp24Hodge will take place June 17th-20th at Grand Slam USA on 4500 Western Blvd in Raleigh. The camp is for both boys and girls ages 6-15. To register, visit Camp24Hodge.com. Visit Camp24Hodge to learn more about a special rate for anybody who's a Wolfpacker.

A survey done in a southern state, key inputs from three states with sizeable Muslim populations, and intelligence from state police chiefs — all put together by three officers of the rank of director general of police (DGP) — in 2013, speak of a situation wherein the entrenched perception of a police bias against the minority community could, if not corrected immediately, affect the country's internal security.
The report, prepared by the DGPs of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and a senior IB official, is now with the central government, awaiting action.
The report is a summary and compilation of police and intelligence inputs received from states across India, along with the content of interactions with the community, public utterances by community leaders, and articles published by them.
To bridge the "police-community" gap, the report recommends implementation of a comprehensive "community policing plan", improving "interface levels" between the Muslim community and police, improving and encouraging "participative policing", and developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) to prevent communal riots.
The report begins with an analysis of the wounds of Partition which, it says, "poisoned the relations between the two communities, leaving both suspicious of each other". The scars were deepest in northern India, and the Ram Shilanyas Yatras and Ramjanmabhoomi agitation also "communalised otherwise peaceful parts of South and East India", thus polarising the entire country, it says.
"The razing of the Ram Janam Bhoomi/Babri Mosque disputed structure saw communal riots erupting in most of the country. The use of terror as a retribution for the demolition and communal riots that followed the demolition further sharpened the conflict. Communal riots after Godhara were a watershed event."
According to the report, "any place with a minority population above 15 per cent has become communally surcharged and susceptible to communal riots." Police attitudes haven't helped either, it says.
"Revolution in communications and information technology", the report says, "are being exploited by various groups in various communities to spread discontent in the minorities by use of social media and mobile telephony to spread information of perceived wrong to community anywhere leading to tensions in other far flung areas."
Attacks on students from the Northeast in various parts of the country, allegedly in retaliation for attacks on Muslims in Myanmar and Assam, are examples, the report says.
The report is critical of the role played by some NGOs and "activists", and of media "hungry for news" in spreading "distrust" among minorities. The police, it says, lack an official mechanism to counter this "propaganda".
"Role of NGOs and some 'activists' in spreading distrust about law enforcement agencies have also come to light. An active media hungry for making news has eagerly projected the views of such groups, lending credence to their statements …continued »
