Paddock Power - say goodbye to supplemental hard feed for horses at grass
Typically as an owner of a grass-kept horse, especially during autumn and winter, you will be familiar with:
Horses on Paddock Power have dramatically increased:
Paddock Power has helped improve horses dramatically that have suffered with:
We are all familiar with the dangers associated in hard feeding groups or even single horses out in the field:
Paddock Powers unique self-feeding system avoids these vices as the feed is freely available 24/7 thus enabling:
As horse owners we want to look after our pennies whilst giving our horses the best we can provide for them. By feeding Paddock Power you:
Paddock Power supplies the average horse that has 24/7 access to a bucket about 10 weeks. Our studies show that horses that are deficient in some of the Vits and Minerals will "use" Paddock Power more frequently for the first few weeks whilst they rebalance their systems and then back off to a more "normal" level so your initial bucket may only last 8 weeks. Horses that have been on Paddock Power for some time will take up to 12 weeks to finish a bucket, at considerably less cost than feeding a conditioning cube, feed balancer or a combination of the two, but with all the added goodness.
Paddock Power is the leading new way to improve your horses overall condition throughout the year by balancing the essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids in your horse. It's a must have for any grass kept horse even if they are only out for a few hours a day. It goes back to a more natural way of a horse feeding itself by being available 24/7 without being able to gorge. This paddock lick contains a well balanced mix of vitamins, minerals, proteins and oil whilst being low in starch and a good supply of Omega 3 and 6. Our unique protein blend is highly bio-available to your horse and gives access to 18 amino acids rather than the 8 available in Soya which is most commonly used within traditional feeds and balancers.
Ingredients are safe for equine use and manufactured to comply with safe feed regulations of equine regulatory bodies and associations such as the Jockey Club, BHA, BSJA and FEI.Safe for mares in foal and young stock.
Paddock Power eliminates the need to hard feed horses out at pasture whilst giving you the peace of mind that your horses is getting everything it needs to supplement its diet of grass and good hay. Most hard feeds do not contain everything your horse needs. It also will save you the added frustration of horses kicking over their feed buckets and trampling half of it into the ground which is such a waste of money. Paddock Power saves you the time and effort of making up feeds and putting them out – a huge timesaver in the short daylight hours of the winter months.
Instruction for use: Remove small plastic seal from lid and discard safely. Take lid off and snap off handle - discard. Recommended that you place the 15kg buckets inside a standard tyre. Paddock Power is now available in stable-sized 10kg buckets and 25kg larger paddock buckets.
4yr old thoroughbred, thrived this summer with Paddock Power. Has gone back in to training now a different horse. Much stronger and more relaxed attitude! "best ride in the yard"
11yr old point to point horse, Turned out this summer with PP blocks. He is very prone to tie-up which affected his whole racing career. He is now Back in work without any issues! We put this down to the Paddock Blocks!
Sugarformyhoney, 7yr old X racehorse - now in foal. Was always a high maintenance mare - not a great doer. Since being turned away this summer she has thrived and looks the best she has ever looked. Very content. Thanks to Paddock Power!

Soya oil: Energy and coat condition
Protein: Soya and potato protein provide 2 different high quality protein sources with different amino acid profiles. The most important source is potato protein. It is 78% protein providing 18 amino acids including the essential amino acids lysine, methionine and isoleucine, threonine, and phenylalanine. It is one of the most bioavailable sources of proteins for horses which helps avoid digestive upset and aids in muscle growth, recovery and reparation for heavy exercise and exertion.
Fibre: Fibre is an important part of a healthy balanced diet and can also improve digestive health.
Salt: improves palatability and is needed for absorption of minerals and vitamins, it also acts as a regulator of feed intakes.
Calcium: assists with healthy bone structure in developing foals and young stock and maintaining heathy bones in mature animals
Magnesium: essential for promoting a calm temperament and also helps balance deficiencies in pasture particularly in autumn and spring. Also important in helping reduce laminitis, and proper muscle function
Potassium Iodide: has antibiotic properties, as well as being anti-fibrotic (tends to resist the development of scar tissue). Helps aid health tissue regrowth
Protected Copper: Maintains muscle structure and healthy growth. Improves pigmentation of hair in deficient horses. Also works in conjunction with zinc to produce healthy hooves.
Protected Zinc: Essential for hoof health and hair quality.
Phosphorus: You need phosphorus to keep your bones strong and healthy, to help make energy, and to move your muscles. It also aids kidney function, grow, maintain, and repair tissue and cells, aids production of DNA and RNA — the body's genetic building blocks, helps balance and use vitamins such as vitamins B and D, as well as other minerals like iodine, magnesium, and zinc, maintain a healthy heart, facilitate nerve function.
Cobalt: a trace element, it is important for blood cell formation. Helps maintain a healthy digestive system, particularly the cecum and large intestine. Cobalt is essential for the synthesis of Vitamin B12. This vitamin is then used in conjunction with iron and copper in the formation and maintenance of blood cells.
Manganese: Needed for correct and healthy bone formation, disease resistance and fertility.
Selenium: needed for healthy muscle tissue and also aids in reproductive function. Works alongside Vitamin E as an antioxidant. Very important for the immune system.
Vit A: Promotes healthy skin and coat, crucial for good vision as well as bone and muscle growth.
Vit D3: Aids immune system and general emotional disposition. Essential to supplement during winter months. Aids the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
Vit E: As alpha-tocopherol, vitamin E's major function is as an antioxidant. Thus, vitamin E is notably key for the proper function of the reproductive, muscular, nervous, circulatory, and immune systems. It is essential to replace this vitamin in the diet during winter months.
Vit K: aids blood clotting and bone metabolism and heart health.
B Vit Complex: for maximum health and vigour, essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. A blood tonic pick me up.
Omega-3 and 6: Horses cannot make their own Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids so it is imperative that they are obtainable through their diet. They are important as they help regulate the immune system, develop and maintain the central nervous system, are key in oxygen transfer and cell membrane stability.
Starch: Starch levels are very low in Paddock Power so helps you avoid problems with your horse fizzing up or becoming hot! High starch levels can also cause digestive, metabolic and muscle issues.

Enhanced thermoelectric performance in PbTe-based superlattice structures from reduction of lattice thermal conductivity
We have fabricated two-dimensional n-type PbTe/PbTe0.75Se0.25 structures using an evaporation process. In optimized films exhibiting a high-quality superlattice structure, a significant reduction in lattice thermal conductivity has been experimentally measured. The reduction would indicate enhanced thermoelectric device performance compared to standard PbTeSe alloys given that the electrical components, specifically, the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity, were not observed to deteriorate from bulk values. The analysis of these films shows continuous layers with a true two-dimensional superlattice structure, as opposed to the PbTe/PbSe system that exhibits zero-dimensional structures from self-assembly. The room-temperature measurement of cross-plane figure-of-merit in a n-type PbTe/PbTe0.75Se0.25 device structure by the transient method has been combined with temperature-dependent measurements of in-plane resistivity and Seebeck coefficient to yield evidence of enhanced thermoelectric performance. The similarities and differences between the superlattice in the PbTe/PbTe0.75Se0.25 system and the Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 material system are presented. ©2005 American Institute of Physics

Welcome to another Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy snippets exchanged by several writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/
My contribution this week continues the scene on Moon Station from Grand Master's Game, Book 2 in the Grand Master's Trilogy. Last week, the excerpt ended with the albino woman asking, "How did you get here? Did you fix the portals?"
Read it here: http://auroraspringernovels.blogspot.com/2015/07/grand-masters-game-on-moon-station.html
Exuding authority despite the lack of psi power, Athanor glared at her and deigned to reply, "We ported under my power. What happened to the station?"
She flipped up the goggles to reveal her pink eyes, and introduced herself, "I'm Chief Daria, senior manager of Moon Station. We've dealt with a series of problems since last night. At two hours standard time, the Controller on duty reported that no one had arrived through the portals for several minutes. We halted departures to investigate. These blasted creatures burst out of the portals and tore into the people waiting to travel. My guards grabbed their combat suits to deal with the attack. Then, the lights cut out and the repulsor field shut down. A meteorite hit the dome above the outer ring. Air leaked, and the passengers in one section succumbed before we had time to respond."
Chief Daria rubbed a hand across her forehead and continued, "We don't have the personnel to handle multiple disasters. The passengers' safety was our first priority, so we shunted them into cleared sections and sealed the doors. Sadly, some were lost in the chaos." Compressing her lips, she gestured towards the outer ring.

Why Buy from a Special Perfume Store?There are many reasons that you might want to visit a perfume store. You can find there are many different types of perfume at a specialized outlet, which makes visiting one something that any perfume lover should do. However, what is the difference between a perfume store and a regular store that sells perfume?
Choices GaloreFirst of all, there is simply no end to what you can find at a perfume store when it comes to fragrance selection. You can find any type or brand of perfume, which is different from a department store, because at a department store usually carries a limited selection. So, if you want the best variety, you should go to a perfume store instead of a department, drug or grocery store.
The other thing that you should keep in mind when you are thinking about a perfume store as opposed to a department store is a perfume store may have more services like open-bottle specials or tester samples as compared to mass merchandisers. Elaborate gift sets or stand alone bottles may be in greater abundance giving you the option to get the best value for your money.

Don't You Dare Give up on Success Now!
It is the end of February and for so many people they are stuck back in the rutts of previous years. Many have given up on making 2014 a truly amazing year and many have just retreated into survival mode. Are you one of these people!
STOP – Do not allow yourself to recede into just accepting what you have always got. You are worthy of so much more. Don't allow yourself to settle for less!
The true key to ensuring you keep growing and get progressively greater results in your life and business, is not settling for what you currently get. Raise your standards too not "want more" but rather to "must have more".
We get what we settle for in life and far too often what we settle for is so much less than we can actually get. STOP Settling for less and make a decision right now that you will raise your standard and demand more of yourself and what life gives you in return.
5 Steps to ensure massive success in 2014
STEP #1 Immediately make a list of what you will no longer accept in your life. Then make another list of what you expect of yourself and life going forward.
I don't care how tough it feels right now, do not settle for the same results as last year. Do not drop into survival mode. Make a commitment to be so much more and achieve much greater things.
STEP #2 Write a list of goals for the next month (to end March) and then the next 3 months (to end June) and lastly goals to be achieved by the end of 2014. Make them measurable and and tangible. Do not write 'wishy-washy' goals.
STEP #3 Write 1 or 2 immediate actions you can take for each goal. Actions you can take now that will be the first step to achieve the goal. THEN TAKE THEM! It does not matter how small they are, this will anchor the commitment towards achieving the goal and according to a multitude of research, increase the likelihood by 20 times that you will achieve the goal.
STEP #4 – Do something inspirational. Despite it being the last day of the month or financial year end, just do something today or this weekend that will inspire you. be creative but don't allow yourself to wallow in anything negative.
STEP #5 – Lastly, commit to something that will uplift and educate you. Buy a book and start reading it or order an audio programme.
Look, all I want you to understand is you are living what you settle for. The very life you have now is what you are ok with. Stop being ok with it and make it an absolute must to live a better more fulfilled life.
I believe in you, I just need you to truly believe in yourself.
Go out there and be everything you are capable of being..
Yours in success
Brian Walsh

Standard operating procedures for standardized mass rearing of the dengue and chikungunya vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) - I - egg quantification
© Zheng et al.; licensee BioMed Central. 2015
- Received: 12 November 2014
- Accepted: 30 December 2014
- Published: 23 January 2015
Quantification of eggs prior to rearing the immature stages of mosquitoes is an essential step in establishing a standardized mass rearing system. To develop a simple and accurate method of egg quantification for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the relationship between egg number and weight, as well as egg number and volume, were studied.
Known quantities of eggs (1,000, 3,000, 6,000, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, 21,000 and 27,000) were counted and subsequently their weight and volume were measured. Best-fit curves and regression equations were used to describe relationships between Aedes egg number and both weight and volume.
Eighteen thousand Ae. aegypti eggs weighed 159.8 mg and had a volume of 277.4 μl, compared to measurements of 131.5 mg and 230.3 μl for Ae. albopictus. The eggs of Ae. aegypti were thus larger and heavier than those of Ae. albopictus. The use of weight and volume to quantify egg number was validated by counting volumes and weights of eggs expected to correspond to 3,000 and 18,000 eggs of each species; significant correlations were found in all cases except in the case of 3,000 Ae. albopictus eggs measured by volume.
Methods for egg quantification were validated and shown to be a consistent and practical means to achieve uniform distribution of Aedes larvae between rearing trays, important for optimal mass rearing of the immature stages of Aedes mosquitoes.

The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically around the world in recent decades with over 3 billion people now at risk [1]; the disease is endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific and outbreaks are becoming more frequent. While Aedes aegypti remains the primary vector of the dengue virus, Ae. albopictus is playing an increasingly important role.
One strategy being pursued to more effectively control these disease vectors Area-Wide Integrated Vector Management (AW-IVM) programmes with a sterile insect technique (SIT) component, which has succeeded in controlling other insect pests of agricultural significance such as fruit flies, tsetse flies, and the New World screwworm [2-6]. Since 2010, the Insect Pest Control Laboratory (IPCL) of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Seibersdorf (Austria) is developing an SIT package for Aedes mosquitoes which includes techniques and equipment for mass-rearing, sex separation, and sterilization. A larval rearing unit comprising a rack containing 50 trays [7], high efficiency diet formulations for larval development [8,9] and an adult mass-rearing cage [10] have also been developed for Ae. albopictus and are being tested for Ae. aegypti.
Development of mass-rearing tools and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not only useful for the classical SIT using radiation to sterilize the males, it is also a prerequisite for the Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) using Wolbachia-infected males [11,12] and for transgenic population suppression approaches such as RIDL [13,14]. All techniques mentioned above require the production of large numbers of high quality males for sequential releases into the target area to induce sterility into the wild mosquito population. In order to achieve this goal, standardization of all steps of the mass-rearing process is required, starting from egg production. Each tray of the rack/tray system needs to be seeded with the same number of eggs to control and ensure the quality of the final product, avoiding disparities between trays. An accurate quantitative estimation of eggs would allow a consistent distribution of eggs, avoiding underfilling or overcrowding. Underfilling leads to production inefficiency, a waste of rearing diet and potential overfeeding while overcrowding leads to small pupae and adults, prolonged development times and increased mortality [15,16].
In the present paper, we propose two standardized methods for estimation of egg numbers for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, based on weight or volume, that could be used for routine rearing or mass-rearing purposes.
Ethics statement
The blood used for routine blood-feeding was collected in Vienna, Austria during routine slaughtering of pigs or bovines in a national authorized abattoir at the highest possible standards strictly following EU laws and regulations.
Colony maintaining for experiments
Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus laboratory colonies originating from Juazeiro, Brazil and Rimini, Italy, respectively, were used for all experiments. Larvae were reared in plastic trays (30 × 40 × 8 cm) containing 1 liter of deionized water held at a constant air temperature of 27 ± 1°C and a photoperiod of 12:12 (L:D). Larval food comprised 50% tuna meal, 36% bovine liver powder, 14% brewer's yeast and 0.2 g of Vitamin Mix per 100 ml of diet solution. approximately 4–5,000 adult mosquitoes were reared per 60 × 60 × 60 cm cage (Bioquip, Rancho Dominguez, Ca.) at a constant ambient temperature of 25 ± 1°C, a photoperiod of 12:12(L:D) and relative humidity of ca. 70%. Blood meals were offered to females three times per week and a 10% sugar solution was constantly available.
Egg collection, drying and storage
Females were allowed to oviposit in a cylindrical container (diameter 11.4 cm, height 9.7 cm, BioQuip, Rancho Dominguez, Ca.) containing deionized water and lined with crêpe paper (Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH, Göttingen, Germany). Egg-papers were removed and gently washed with deionized water using a plastic washing bottle to remove dead adults and transferred into a covered larval rearing tray for gradual drying over 24–48 hours at 27 ± 1°C and 70% RH. Egg-papers were transferred into plastic zip lock bags and kept in a sealed black plastic box for maturation in the larval rearing room, at conditions described above. All eggs used in these experiments were collected, stored and treated in the same way, all no older than 15 days post-oviposition.
Relationship between quantity and weight of eggs
Eggs were brushed from their papers using a small paint brush and collected on a ceramic palette for counting under a stereomicroscope. Batches of 1,000, 3,000, 6,000, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, 21,000 and 27,000 eggs were transferred into 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes for weighing using an electronic balance with an accuracy of 0.0001 g. Each size of egg batch was repeated at least 3 times for each species, using different batches of eggs each time.
Relationship between quantity and volume of eggs
Using the protocol described above, we measured the volume occupied by the different numbers of eggs (1,000, 3,000, 6,000, 12,000, 15,000, 18,000, 21,000 and 27,000 eggs) in Eppendorf tubes. Eggs were removed and the tubes filled with deionized water to the same level and weighed. Volumes were calculated from the density of water: 1 mg of deionized water has a volume of 1 ml, as confirmed in a prior test (data not shown). Measurements of each egg quantity were repeated at least 3 times.

To further validate this correlation, volumes of eggs corresponding to those measured above for 3,000 and 18,000 eggs (Table 2) were added to Eppendorf tubes, then counted and actual numbers compared to expected numbers. Validation by each method of 3,000 and 18,000 eggs of each species was repeated at least 3 times.
Effect of brushing on egg hatch rate
To determine if the brushing protocol affected egg survival, the hatch rate of approximately 500 eggs were placed in hatching solution without being removed from the egg paper (control) and the hatch rate of ~500 eggs removed from egg paper by brushing were compared.
Statistical analysis
For the relationship between number of eggs, weight and volume, Pearson's Correlation coefficients were calculated and tested using Minitab 13.32 (Minitab Inc., Pennsylvania). Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus egg batch weight and volume were compared using SPSS 19.0 statistical software (IBM SPSS Statistics, New York) to calculate two sample t tests for independent samples. For validation, a t test was conducted to compare the expected mean with the observed number.
Hatch rates were arcsin transformed (√hatch rate) to allow comparison by t test and analyzed for an effect of brushing.

Relationship between volume and quantity of eggs
The size of Aedes aegypti eggs was shown to be significantly greater than those of Aedes albopictus eggs (Table 2).

Effect of brushing on egg hatch rate
For neither species was there an impact of the brushing protocol on hatch rate. Indeed, there was no significant difference between the control (90.8 ± 1.4%) and brushed eggs (89.6 ± 0.7%) (t test, t = −1.28, df = 4, P = 0.271) in Ae. albopictus or between the control (93.7 ± 1.6%) and brushed eggs (91.9 ± 1.0%) (t test, t = 1.65, df = 4, P = 0.175) in Ae. aegypti.
A convenient and accurate approach to quantify the dried eggs of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus has been developed, allowing for standardized larval rearing of Aedes mosquitoes. A highly significant correlation between egg number and both weight and volume was observed, and the low variability between replicates indicates a good reproducibility. Considering the management required to produce and coordinate the large quantities of eggs needed in a mass rearing setting, the techniques developed here appear to be more practical on a very large scale than the method previously employed [17] using digital image analysis to estimate Aedes egg numbers present on egg papers.
The behavior of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus reared in the mass rearing cages and developmental trays developed by Balestrino et al. [10,18] allow egg production by a colony to be predicted with some accuracy. Indeed the capacity of Aedes species to firmly oviposit onto a removable substrate (the oviposition paper) [19,20] and the resistance of eggs to drying [21,22] simplifies the collection and maturation process. For example, a mass rearing cage containing 13,000 adult Ae. albopictus allows the harvesting of an egg paper with around 100,000 eggs following one blood meal [10]. Egg papers can then be dried and stored in laboratory conditions. When needed, and because of the robust nature of the eggs, they can be brushed and handled without significant decrease in hatch rate after a storage duration of several weeks (8 to 10 weeks as for Ae. aegypti [23,24]) and the quantity estimated.
However, standardized tools need to be developed. In the mass rearing trays (100 × 60 × 3 cm with a capacity of 6 L of water), the optimal quantity of larvae reared in each tray is about 12,000 to 18,000 [7]. Since after drying, storage and brushing, hatching rate of Ae. aegypti (Juazeiro strain) and Ae. albopictus (Rimini strain) is about 90%, between 13,333 and 20,000 eggs per tray would be needed. Several options could be used to measure and deposit eggs into trays: for example, a measuring spoon sized to contain the desired quantity of eggs could be used to collect and transfer the eggs to trays, or appropriately sized pharmaceutical capsules dissolvable in water could be used to hold and deposit the eggs. Further experiments will deal with the use of hypromellose capsules (Qualicaps® Europe, Spain) of different sizes (No. 4, 5, 6) to obtain the number of eggs suitable for the mass rearing trays.
Although the relationship between quantity and weight or volume of the eggs of two Aedes species has been defined here, the application of either of these accurate quantification methods for eggs should be based on a strict, reliable and standardized mass rearing process, since the weight and size of Aedes eggs can be affected by several aspects of mass rearing such as egg storage [25,26] as well as the adults' nutrition or level of health [27].
Two practical and simple methods of egg quantification were tested and validated. Weight and volume measurements have been shown to be a consistent and reliable means to quantify eggs for transfer to trays to allow uniform rearing of the immature stages of Aedes mosquitoes in a mass rearing setting.

Letter to My Brother, Jon
(written when I was about 14 years old)
Dear Jon:
I decided to put you in a terminal coma and send you a letter. I have also enclosed a paper that I wrote for my creative writing class. For some reason, I am sure that you think I can not write. Actually, it only cost me $5 for both the letter and the paper. Good deal. Eh? Well, enough bullshit. John, I am going to tell you what the meaning of life is. Please hold... I know I have got it written down somewhere around here. Ahh. Here it is. It was under the moldy yogurt spoon, left over from last Saturday.
Jon, the meaning of life is..... Hey, this is not it. I guess I never wrote down the meaning of life. It was kind of interesting, I guess I only have just made a mental note of it. I spent many years and many long, hard, brain-draining hours on this subject. I came to this conclusion. The meaning of life is that there is no meaning, but happiness is the key. Whoa! That took a lot of writing to get that out.
So, Jon thinks, the meaning of life is that there is no meaning, and happiness is the key. O.K. Sure.. Yes, Jon, and do not think the answer is 49. You see, if you have thought about life as long as I have, you come to the conclusion that life, people, the whales, the human brain, and your lost sneakers that you bought in 3rd grade, now decomposing in a homely bush outside of Adams, all mean nothing.
Emotions, logic, the instinct to blink and the smelly frog in Laos drowning in a mud puddle because a weed snagged its leg are all just science, star stuff, evolution and chemical reactions. All the intense, and incredible emotions people feel are all scientific bullshit. It is all bullshit, and it is all nothing. Also, most peoples problems are nothing compared to other people's problems, like the lost opportunity of a common child, starving at 3 years old, deep in East Africa. Does it really matter if its a boy or a girl. So, what's up? Nothing is up, that is what is up. But do not get tripped on that, even that feeling and that idea is nothing, it all does not matter. The Earth could be the twenty fourth electron of an atom on the nose of a hamster that is just about to be stepped on.
Happiness is the key. Why? Because it all doesn't mean anything. Since it does not mean anything anyway, why not do something with your life? For all practical purposes you are already dead. When you die, you will probably lose the consciousness you have become so very fond of, or, maybe, there might be something after. Regardless, sometime you
die, be it now or 56 years from now. So, in 98 years, regardless if you died now or in 67 years, you will be dead. So, in effect, you are already dead, just another reason for it all meaning nothing!
So, why live? Oh, no reason. So, why not live? Oh, no reason. So, if it all means the same, I will do what I want, right. Right! You do what you want. You will be dead soon enough anyway, so why die sooner than is due. No reason. It will be all over at sometime, so why not go through a good or bad experience living. It will not matter after your dead anyway, so, I say, even a horrible and mindwrenching experience is better than not having one at all. But, lucky for us, it is not always like that. So, if, theoretically, we are already dead, life is a pretty miniscule thing. Why not kick some righteous ass while we are down here? Why not rip life's asshole off? It is all bullshit anyway. So, why not?
This is where the key kicks in. Happiness is the key. Why is happiness the key if it all means nothing? A very simple reason for this: Where is the reason to be unhappy? Correct! There is no reason. So why be happy? Because it is better than being unhappy. Why does it matter? It doesn't. Because it does not matter is why happiness is the key. O.K. O.K. Now that we have got that out of the way, on to something else. To sum it up: Why? Because it just does not matter.
Happiness is composed of what makes people happy. Short term happiness, like eating candy all the time, not doing work to relax a lot, and other short term things do not make people happy. Long term happiness makes up true happiness. But to have long term happiness you must have a happy time along the way to be happy in a long term, or you will feel short changed on your life. Which means unhappiness. So, to be happy, you must have a balance of short and long term happiness. Using short term happiness to where it does not take away from the long term happiness. Both of these happinesses can be 'work' or 'hard times' to. For me, if I do my homework solidly and efficiently in a short time it makes me feel good. Sacrificing short term pain gives you long term happiness plus extra time for short term happiness or reinvestment of more short term pain for even better returns.
It is not as easy as I am writing it. 'Life is not a bed of roses'. This statement means something. 'Life is not a bed of thorns,' this statement also has meaning. Getting through bad or tough times is, also, normally one of the best times in person's life, even if they thought and
the opposite at the time, if not thinking it was the end. You can even realize it as being one of the best times of your life, even when you are doing it.
Anyway, to finish a short story made long, the meaning of life is that there is no meaning or reason to life, but happiness is the key. I hope the paper that I enclosed with this letter does tell you I can write, even if this letter does not. Love and happiness to you and your children.
Your Bro,

October 14, 2013 07:00 ET
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2013) - Andes Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: AGCZ) a gold mining and milling company with operations in Ecuador and Peru, today released its financial results for the nine(9) month period ended September 30, 2013. The Company increased profits despite the decline in the average market price of gold by $199 per oz compared to last year. The increase in profit is a direct result of increased production, upgrading its production facilities and increased contract processing of ore from other miners without processing facilities. With the start up of the new mill announced on October 7,2013, the Company expects that the fourth quarter will show even greater revenues and profits for the year ending December 31, 2013.
Revenue for the nine(9) month period ended September 30, 2013 was $4,863,380 versus $$4,622,674 last year, an increase of $240,706. The net profit for the nine(9) month period was $1,196,094 versus $932,644 last year, an increase of $263,450 (28%). The net profit for the first six(6) months of the fiscal period ending December 31, 2013 was $646,446 versus the net profit of the third quarter alone of $549,648. This represents a significant increase in production in the third quarter which is expected to continue into the fourth quarter.
This increase in profit over last year occurred despite the fact that the average market price of an oz of gold was less by $199.00 per oz for the same period last year.
Examination of the balance sheet shows the value of the plant, machinery and equipment increased from $2,982,773 to $3,669,761. The value of construction and mining improvements increased by $1,051,783. The company continues to increase and improve operations by investing profits back into the company.
The Company is expecting significant growth in the fourth quarter as its new mill comes on production and the production capacity of the company's existing facilities increase and become more efficient.

I went for my annual 'wander' around Hull Fair yesterday evening with EC. I always enjoy the short walk there and think that it's a huge part of the experience for me. For some reason I can't explain, I find it quite exciting keeping pace with the other fair goers making their way down Spring Bank West and trying to avoid the scores of people simply milling around. As I mentioned in my last post, I love shuffling through the fallen leaves which litter the streets around the fair, but I'm afraid that I was slightly disappointed about the lack of leaves to shuffle through yesterday. Either the trees are hanging onto their leaves for grim death this year, or the road sweepers have done a sterling job of removing them. Given the general state of the city streets I'd hazard a guess that it's due to the former rather than the latter, but whatever the cause, I was a smidgen disappointed.
Although I love the atmosphere of the fair (all that bustling and noise and smells and flashing lights) I don't like being barged into by every Tom, Dick or Harry. I like a great deal of personal space, so it does jangle my nerves to be in such close proximity to other people. But when I decide to go to the fair I know that this is going to happen. I know that people with prams will inadvertently catch the back of my heels as they push through the crowds, that people will walk into me, that I will probably walk into someone else. I know that people will be milling around, everyone walking in different directions and not always looking where they are going.
So I was a bit taken aback to find that someone (in their infinite wisdom) had decided that this year it would be an excellent idea to have zones around the fair from which PCSO's could direct the crowds. 'Keep to the left' was a recurrent cry. Some of them were even on little podiums. I raised my eyebrows in disbelief and EC raised hers back in a gesture of agreement. Passers by commented, to us, to each other. It was strangely amusing.
As I said, I really don't like crowds and I'm pathetically fearful when I'm in the middle of one, but I didn't actually feel in any imminent danger of being crushed or stampeded to death. I just didn't. It really wasn't that bad. It was just a very busy Saturday evening at Hull Fair.
We didn't go on any rides (the queues were so-ooo long) but we had good fun watching other people get drenched on the log flume and scaring themselves witless on so many of the other rides.
We were going to go on Hook-a-Duck but forgot to come back this way. We did buy fudge and rum truffles though and had a Slushie which turned our tongues blue!
I had a lovely time and might have to go for another wander down there before it leaves. If you're at a loose end this week and want something family centred to do, I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Managing Chemotherapy
A full on week with 5 chemotherapy sessions, blood transfusion, platelets and a picc line inserted, all went well this week. A number of appointments have come in as part of the pre transplant assessment. So it's later in the month for checks on Heart, Lungs and Kidney at UH Southampton. Two more sessions of chemotherapy next week with another transfusion and referall to MacMillan Exercise scheme. Delete Blood Cancer are asking for another contribution about my experience.
Feeling better than I have done in recent weeks which I am pleased about and much more positive as a consequence especially as there is now a plan.

Why Violent Star #7 is bad and how
to place this remedy?
One of the most hazardous star is Violent
Star #7. This star used to be very auspicious and was a wealth
star during Period 7 (1984-2004). But in Period 8, its good attributes
are gone and have turned into an evil star that brings nothing
good but injuries, burglary, troubles, chaos, fightings, bad luck,
law cases and lawsuits. It is associated to "injured soldier"
and is hinting blood. That is why it relates to armed robbery
and violence. Its effects become worse when combined with other
bad stars such as #2, #3, #5 or #9.
Display this protective plaque in the following
1. For safety of our families and children, place the protective
plaque facing out to the maindoor of our homes to ward off robberies
and accidents.
2. The protective plaque will help to solve political problems
in office, backstabbing, arguments and harmful peers when placed
on your office desk. It will help to solve quarreling, havoc and
hostility in office.
3. For businessmen, it is best to get the protective plaque facing
outwards at the main entrance of your workplace or shop to ensure
your competitors are kept at bay.
4. This protective plaque is the most perfect cure against violence
star#7, either from the natal chart, annual chart or monthly chart
of flying stars. In 2017, the annual Violent star#7 flies to the

ZeroStack announced earlier this week that its private cloud software will be available on hyperconverged hardware from Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
Think of it this way: ZeroStack can "build" an enterprise cloud, so now it's gathering partners who can provide storage and computing along with it, says Steve Garrison, vice president of marketing for the Mountain View, California startup.
This isn't just a case of Dell and HPE adding another startup to a long reseller list. ZeroStack leads the sale with its own products, Garrison says. Now it can provide the software on hyperconverged hardware from familiar names — which could help make ZeroStack more attractive to the value-added resellers that sell to enterprises, he says.
In March, ZeroStack announced general availability of its on-premises stack: an appliance that provides a private cloud, with management software that's run by ZeroStack on its own, separate cloud. It's like a plug-in, shrink-wrapped cloud with hands-off management.
ZeroStack is one of a few companies trying to make the cloud easier for enterprises. Platform9, for instance, can set up an OpenStack cloud on an enterprise's own servers. The agent to do this is available in software-as-a-service form.
Cisco also has a hand in this business, with its 2014 acquisition of Metacloud. It can run an enterprise's private cloud on-premises or in Metacloud's data centers.
All of these options have two things in common. They're meant to combat the perceived complexity of clouds and OpenStack — not only the challenge of setting up the cloud, but the bigger task of maintaining it day after day.
And they provide alternatives to Amazon Web Services (AWS). An enterprise might be happy having developers tinker on AWS but might want to keep production data on-premises. Or, in some cases, a company scaling up on AWS might reach a threshold where the bills become too large.
Moving to a private cloud from AWS isn't unprecedented. Dropbox did it (although that company's size admittedly makes it an outlier.)
The challenge is that a private cloud isn't easy to set up and run. "Smaller brick-and-mortar organizations don't have the resources to invest in that," Garrison says.
"One thing I realized while spending time with VMware customers was that everybody loved the ease of use of AWS," says Ajay Gulati, ZeroStack's CEO and VMware's former head of R&D. "The consumption model was great, and they wanted to take that in-house."
ZeroStack has about 45 employees. The company raised a $16 million Series B in October, bringing its total funding to $22 million.

Venison Wellington
Venison Wellington, just in time for Christmas!
venison loin - shitake mushrooms - garlic - shallots - oregano - dried fruit - cherry brandy - nutmeg - prosciutto - mustard - puff pastry - egg
This is the perfect winter treat, using seasonal produce and festive ingredients, so we decided to make it for our Christmas supper, and think you should give it a go too...
Start with good quality venison loin fillet, we got ours from George Bower in Stockbridge. When deciding how much to buy, imagine an inch and a half along the loin per person. The meat will shrink a little during cooking and result in an inch width per person upon serving.
Start by making your mushroom mix - finely chop a punnet of shitake (we used a food processor), then fry off a couple of shallots in butter with 2 gloves of garlic. Once softened, add your diced mushrooms with a handful of finely chopped oregano and a bag of dried fruit, such as cranberries and cherries. Let the mushrooms soften and cook slightly, before adding a large glass of cherry brandy, and a little bit of water. You need to allow the brandy and water to completely evaporate, or fear a soggy bottom. Once the fluid is gone and the mushrooms start to brown add a good pinch of nutmeg and season to taste. Let the mixture cool completely.
Whilst it is cooling, fry off the venison loin. Use a very hot oiled pan and season the meat with plenty of pepper and a little bit of salt. Fry off on each side for approximately 2 minutes, and allow to rest.
Once all the elements are cold you can put the wellington together - first roll out some puff pastry, remembering that the thicker it is, the more likely you are to have raw pastry at the end. Lay 6 sheets of prosciutto ham on to the puff, then a thick layer of your festive mushroom mix. Brush the loin with some English mustard and place on to the mix. Roll the venison tightly in to the pastry, seal with beaten egg, and then leave to chill in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.
Once chilled, brush the pastry with more beaten egg and cook at 200c/gas mark 7 for 25-30 minutes (longer if you think ours is a wee bit too rare). Leave to rest for another 25 - 30 minutes after cooking, and then cut in to slices - or bring to the table whole, for a nail biting unveiling!
We served ours with parsnip and truffle oil mash, roasted brussels sprout and Jerusalem artichokes, steamed tenderstem, and a light blackcurrant and chicken stock sauce.
Merry Christmas!

I am very confused about this whole rails deploy thing. The confusion is that whilst developing the whole app it has been in
development mode, which is fine. Now that I will deploy it, are there ammendments I need to make to files to change the rails app to
production mode before deploying, or does deploying autmatically do this?
I guess what I am asking is how do I switch from one environment to another?

It's unlike us to fiddle with a classic, but when an oldie-but-goodie can use an update, we're willing to tinker a bit. Such is the case with our looks-great-on-everyone roll neck Purl Soho Pullover. What better time than now, with fall supposedly around the corner, to revisit one of our most popular sweaters?
Knit in the round from the bottom up, this Pullover's simple rolled edges float around the wrists, neck, and hips. At the yoke, stacked set-in sleeve decreases ease into sloping saddle shoulders, an understated and very flattering touch.
Because the shape and style adapt to the wearer, the Purl Soho Pullover Pattern includes sizing and instructions from 1 year old babies to full grown adults, equipped to equip the whole family!
We knit up an adult version, above, in the Wheat Flour color of our Worsted Twist, a wonderfully soft 100% merino wool. A child-size version, below, is in lovely Heirloom White. There are over two dozen colors of Worsted Twist to choose from, a just-right color for just about everyone.
The Purl Soho Pullover is one of the first patterns Purl Soho ever published, and this new version corrects some of our beginner mistakes. It's more clearly written with better sizing, and it has been scoured over and over for mistakes. Essentially the same pattern, the Purl Soho Pullover remains an enduring classic, only better!
- 3 (3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10) skeins of Purl Soho's Worsted Twist, 100% merino wool. We used Wheat Flour for the adult version and Heirloom White for the child's size.
- US 8, 20-, 24-, or 32-inch circular needles for Body (depending on size you are making)
- US 8, 16-inch circular needles for Neck
- A set of US 8 double pointed needles or 12-inch circular needles for Sleeves (depending on size you are making)
- US 7, 16-inch circular needles for Neck
- 4 removable stitch markers, including 1 in a different color
- 5 stitch holders or scrap yarn
- A Purl Soho Pullover Pattern (NOTE: This is an update to our original pattern, with fresh graphics, improved sizing, and corrected mistakes.)
17 stitches and 26 rounds = 4 inches in stockinette stitch, using larger needles
20¼ (22, 24, 26¼, 28¼, 30, 32, 36¼, 40, 44¼, 48) inches
To fit child 12 months (child 2 years, child 4 years, child 6 years, child 8 years, child 10 years, adult 28–30 inch chest, adult 32–34 inch chest, adult 36–38 inch chest, adult 40–42 inch chest, adult 44–46 inch chest) with approximately 1–2 inches of ease for children and 2–4 inches of ease for adults
- Finished Chest Circumference: 20¼ (22, 24, 26¼, 28¼, 30, 32, 36¼, 40, 44¼, 48) inches
- Length from Shoulder to Bottom Edge: 15¾ (17¼, 19, 19¾, 21¼, 22¼, 26, 26¼, 27¾, 28¼, 28½) inches
- Length from Underarm to Bottom Edge: 9¾ (10¾, 12, 12¾, 14¼, 14¾, 17½, 17¼, 18½, 18½, 17½) inches
SAMPLE: The adult sweater shown here is size 40 with 3.5 inches of ease and the child sweater shown here is size 24.
The Purl Soho Pullover Pattern is available for purchase as either a hard copy or download.

Revealing mistake: As Willow walks through the forest pursuing Warren, just after we first see Warren running, there's a shot of Willow walking into a bit of a clearing.

Boards and Panels: the new enemy of women?
New guidelines have been announced by the American College of obstetrician and Gynecologists: Report: Push Back Age of Cervical Cancer Tests
Following suggestions that women don't really need mammograms every year comes this new set of guidelines that suggest that
women younger than 30 should undergo cervical cancer screening once every two years instead of an annual exam. And those age 30 and older can be screened once every three years.
But wait here is an interesting final sentence to the Reuters story:
In the past 30 years, cervical cancer rates in the United States have fallen by more than half, due in large part to widespread use of cervical cancer screening.
Maybe that's the problem. Too many women living because of early cancer detection – breast or cervical. First we are told that we must have universal health care because too many people are not getting the service they need, including pregnant women and sexually active teenagers. Then we are told that the services that have cut breast and cervical cancer rates in the U.S. (and actually reduced deaths from all forms of cancer overall) are being conducted too often. Skip the test, take a chance, and – just maybe – die. Outrageous!
See the paranoia is getting to me, too. But I have a right to be paranoid; several members of my family survived because of early screening.
Maybe the release of all these stories within a few days is a way of diverting attention from the health care provisions being offered by our Congressional "leaders." Maybe, it is the health industry's way of scaring us, hoping that we can stop Congress.
I don't know but tomorrow looks to be an important day for women's rights.

You're just a normal family looking to maintain the value of your house. Which TV show can you turn to? House Detective, hosted by Danville's Buzz Leer.
HGTV's show teaches viewers what to look out for when selling, buying, or renovating their homes. Whether it's termite infestation or, most often, water damage, Leer helps viewers discover—and fix—problems before they can devastate a dwelling.
"Water is the biggest enemy of the homeowner: It will rot your wood; it will create mold; it can ruin anything," Leer says. "We found someone who had nailed a rose bush trellis to the side of the house. We used a Boroscope—a tiny camera invented for arthroscopic surgery—to inspect the inside of the wall. Water had leaked in through those little holes, and now the homeowners are going to have to spend thousands of dollars on mold reduction." Leer has filmed 28 shows so far, including inspections in Danville, Lafayette, and Oakland.
House Detective airs on HGTV Saturdays at 9:30 a.m.
