Letter to the Editor
North Shore News
It is good that Joseph Bowes is admitting the need for such seniors facilities. Despite the title 'Parkgate Highrise not about Seniors', the discussion is in fact all about negotiating for seniors. Our judeo-christian heritage teaches us to advocate for widows and orphans. Our senior residents need to hear that they are welcome and wanted at the centre of their Seymour-Deep Cove community.
Joseph Bowes' alternative locations would not meet the needs of our Seymour/Deep Cove seniors. Because these alternative sites are remote and out of the way, they are not near enough, nor accessible enough. Seymour seniors can't afford to be tucked away in a corner. These alternative suggestions are non-starters and perhaps red-herrings.
The uniquely flat topography makes 3600 Mount Seymour Parkway ideal for seniors access. Many mature seniors find it more challenging to negotiate stairs. The elevators would give these seniors more access and greater mobility to their own community.
Let's clearly tell the Seymour Seniors that they are both wanted and welcome at the core of their own community. I hope that our civic leadership will put people ahead of bureaucratic plans. The Seymour Seniors population has tripled from 515 to 1500+ since the OCD plan was first envisioned. Our Seymour seniors are worth adjusting for. Seniors deserve better choices as their needs evolve. Independent living is a healthy choice not currently offered in the Seymour community.
I urge others who value the place of seniors to come out and support this application on June 22nd 7pm at North Vancouver District Municipal Hall, 355 West Queens Road.

Once more, both single and multifamily home listings are accessible on these internet sites. This is vital to safeguard your house interests. The net result is that the lender tries to sell off the house at an auction because the property is the collateral for the mortgage loan. In the meantime, you will have to go back to your Delaware lender to total the loan transaction if that applies to your case. Step 2: Speak to neighborhood Missouri genuine estate brokers. Speak to Kansas banks and other mortgage lenders to discover out about acquiring preapproved for a mortgage.
Here is an example of how you can use this search engine. In the occasion that they will need to have to go to court, they can acquire pardon if they guarantee to spend the balance religiously thereafter.

The exact solution to the fifth-order boundary value problems is obtained in reproducing kernel space. The approximate solution is given by using an iterative method and the finite section method. The present method reveals to be more effective and convenient compared with the other methods.

Bed Rest: Day 38
It's been awhile since I've written a bed rest update. The reason for that is that there hasn't been much to report. Things are going smoothly and I am feeling good. A bit large, but good. It's to the point where I have a lot of trouble moving...flipping over, sitting up, walking. At night it feels like my legs are hanging onto my body by a tiny thread and could fall off any minute. Needless to say, it's a strange sensation. But all of these things come along with pregnancy, I'm just experiencing them a little earlier than most.
Taking pictures of Charlie and Liv isn't easy when I'm not around them all day...and I can't chase after them! So I have to rely on the pictures others take. Above a few pics from May. They are having fun, and you can see some of Olivia's "faces" in these. Too funny!
Meanwhile, I've become addicted to Pinterest. So that has been taking up a lot of my time. Finding and collecting ideas for crafts, food, parties, and organization. The last being my favorite. I'm a bit of an organizational freak, so sitting here in bed and not being able to do any actual organizing is a real struggle. I can't wait to put all of these great tips into practice once I'm up and about. Eli told me that I will have to get used to things being disorganized and a bit chaotic once the triplets arrive. "There's not really anything we can do about it," he said. My response? "Watch me."
I have to give Eli, Debbie (my MIL), my Mom and the sisters at church another shout out for all of the things they are doing around here. Poor Eli works at Chase all day, only to come home and jump right in with the kids' bedtime routine, and then spend most of the night cleaning up and doing things around the house. On the weekends he is a true "Mr. Mom." Grocery shopping, taking the kids for a much needed outing, buying them lunch (which has become a Saturday tradition for them), and generally taking care of other household chores. Thankfully, this is where my Mom comes in. She comes over around noon every Saturday while Eli is out with the kids and picks up the house and puts things back in order. Things can really get flipped upside down in a week! Luckily, Mom is a great right-side-upper. :) Wonder where I got that organizational thing from. Hmmmm. She also watches the kids so Eli can do things like mow the lawn, take care of things that require leaving the house, and sometimes have a little time for himself. Thank you Mom! We all need that time.
During the week, Debbie is the glue that keeps this family running right now. She is so lovely and wonderful about making sure that I'm still the main Mama, even though I can only parent from the bed or the couch. She makes sure to bring Charlie and Liv in to visit me throughout the day, and I can tell that they are just loving being with her. MooMoo has been in and out during the first two years of their lives as she lives in California (though much more in than one might suspect), so this is a precious time for them to really bond and get to know each other.
And last but not least, the sisters from church have been bringing so many meals, and they have offered to take Charlie and Liv for a bit each week to give them a play date and give Debbie some time to study...for her PhD. Seriously, someone needs to brag about that!
That is pretty much how things have been going around here. The babies are almost always having a dance party in there, and they seem to be doing well. Next Dr. appointment is on Wednesday, so keep praying that things are safe and looking good!

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Steven P. Jobs' remarkable return to Apple Computer, announced by the company late last week, began in a most unlikely way: with a phone conversation between two engineers at Jobs' Next Software and an Apple executive, chief technology officer Ellen Hancock, who would seem to embody everything that Jobs isn't.
Hancock spent 28 years at IBM Corp., a company that Jobs often ridiculed after he co-founded Apple 20 years ago. In the mid-1980s, when Hancock was IBM's highest ranking woman executive, Jobs masterminded a commercial which portrayed IBM customers as "lemmings" marching single file off a cliff in matching blue suits.
Jobs' free-wheeling, highly individualized style is the antithesis of the conservative Hancock, whose appointment to the Apple job last July was greeted with something less than wild enthusiasm in many quarters.

Random Musings
This weekend, i spent much of the time buying and delivering items for the summer youth camp coming up at Sherwood in a month. My family joined me in delivering all the multitudes of items to Cori Roberts, our Camp Director. My wife, Hazel, met with a Sherwoodian, Paul, who has been at Sherwood since it was just a pasture and woods. She had met Paul on several occasions, but never had a chance to share more than a friendly hello. But Saturday, as me and the boys were busy unloading, she and Paul walked around and discussed gardening needs for the faire. Hazel has been adding flowers and trees to our grounds this last season…and is continuing her planting. Paul volunteered to water the plants during the summer – an extremely kind gesture.
When we were driving home Hazel continually spoke of her time with Paul… and how impressed she was with his vast knowledge of a wide array of topics related to nature, herbs, medieval healing remedies and the like. During the weekend, she must have commented another dozen times how impressed she was with Paul.
Paul portrays Saladin during faire and is also our resident Chess Master. You will likely see him traipsing through Sherwood barefoot at any given day under any weather circumstances. He is a charming addition to our Sherwood family. As i thought about Hazel's encounter with Paul… and her very positive reaction to him… I thought about how many Pauls there are within Sherwood's family. So many eccentric, artistic, brilliant souls there are gathered in these grounds…having made their way to Sherwood to offer their wonderment to our community. Many gifted people each offering the community their very best… and only desiring in return to become a part of a vibrant, evolving experiment of the human soul.
If you have not met Paul (or Hazel) or the hundreds of other beautiful and talented spirits who wander these woods, you are missing out. Join us. Become a part of this wonderful tribe of sojourners–minstrels, musicians, artists, thespians, sages, and dreamers. It really is a fantastic community… and we are thankful and humbled that so many of like minded folk have made Sherwood a part of their lives.

Tonight's self-improvement thread
Which of your personal qualities, if any, do you least like about yourself?
Are there anythings about yourself that you would not put up with in a friend?
I mean, I hate the fact that I get very jealous very easily...
Do you think there's anyway to change things like this?
bit of the above.
i don't do things until the last minute.. ever.
put everything off.
and i get jealous a lot.
i'm working on that though.
i think now knowing/knowing your girlfriends social group is the turning point of that last one.
I can smetimes put value on everything, not being cheap, but I'll always for some reason reduce everything down to the cash I paid for it, or I'll feel I owe someone for something. Its hard to quantify but I'm certainly conscious of it.
I've managed to change a lot of my bad qualities, purely by focusing really hard on avoiding situations these qualities may present themselves, and being quite hard on myself when I see these behaviuors occuring.
i wish to be more like
and a little less like jasminepearson
why would you like to be more like me?
or is this a joke im not getting?
i wanna careless for rules and the system
not to mention be REALLY good looking
i also wanta space button
thatworks but that's by the by.
oh yeah i forgot about that
which is suprising given that there was an entire thread about it earlier :)
oh right yeah!
haha thanks, and no i dont work out :P
so how much of this...
...dya think comes down to selfishness?

There are so many amazing charities that support various causes that it can be overwhelming to pick just one to apply for a team spot. I didn't think twice about which organization I would support as I have had exposure to it for several years: the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS). Just so you can get an idea of where my head was at when I did this, here is what I wrote for my Marathon Strides Against MS application:
In 2002, I moved to New Jersey from Florida to start high school; as a teenager, I thought my world was going to end. I remember during my first week of classes, I had to stay late for a Student Council meeting but did not have a ride back. A new friend I made in my first few days, Annacler, called her mother to drive me home. Because Annacler had to go to practice, D'Ann decided to drive just me home, but first she told me she would show me around town – she took me to Annacler's ballet studio, drove around the lakes, and told me the best places to get Chinese food. It will always be my favorite car ride home.
The following year, D'Ann was diagnosed with MS. The doctors said she actually had it for years, leaving all of her family and friends confused. Where did it come from? How could she get better? D'Ann had become a second mother to me, and it was heartbreaking to hear what could happen. Fortunately, they told her she was only in the relapsing-remitting stage. However, never in the past eight years of knowing D'Ann has she ever let this affect her outlook on life. She is one of strongest and kindest women I know. We are all extremely blessed
to still have her in our lives.
Annacler and I decided to get involved with the NMSS. We volunteered for the Kids Camp in Pennsylvania and saw how younger children were coping in a similar situation. Currently, I visit D'Ann whenever I go home to visit my family in New Jersey, simply to check-in and help out around the house. Although years have passed since my last involvement, I would like to get involved again. I went to school in Boston, and would like to give back not only to the community, but more importantly to help promote advocacy. I participate in runs in NYC, but they are rarely affiliated with a cause. By getting my friends, family, and colleagues involved, I feel like I can really spark awareness for the NMSS.
Do you have any personal connections to someone with MS? What have been your experiences, and have you been involved with any programs?

Semi-Day Off
I have the idea for #4. It will be a seasonal site so if I work on it right after #3, it will be semi-mature (today is the day of the "semi" prefix) by Spring time.
#2 is indexed in Yahoo, but I am losing faith in them. Not only did they index my site but they indexed pages in folders that have no links on the site. Basically folders with preliminary pages that are worthless now. Sigh. The home page is indexed in Google but only that page.
I am preparing for hiring my content writers. It will be great to have the sites updated without me having to sit down and write an article to do it. Can't wait. I have decided that for at least one year, every penny The Business makes gets reinvested. Every cent. It will build on itself, making itself stronger until it is ready to do what it is really meant to do........buy real estate.

aikido - THE basic postulates (principles)
(according to the teachings of O'Sensei - Morihei Ueshiba)
I - The principle of seeking the truth
"Aikido is a Path of Truth. To practice Aikido is to practice Truth, since the very art was born as kamu-waza – an act of Divinity."
Aikido – the path of love, pg. 62
"When you bow deeply to the Universe
It bows back to You,
When You call the name of God,
It resonates in You."
The heart of Aikido, pg. 54
II - The principle of the Universe
"…If you understand aikido, you will understand the purpose of the Universe – you will know yourself…"
Aikido – the path of love, pg. 13
"Change your observations regarding how the Universe actually appears and functions and turn your martial techniques into the vehicles of Purity, Goodness and Beauty."
The heart of Aikido, pg. 14
III - The principle of love
"Aikido is Love ('ai')."
The path of love, pg. 74
"Warrior accepts the gift of life
And promotes life in every place
Love is life, it is the essence
Of the Divine Plan."
The heart of aikido, pg. 11
IV - The principle of harmony
"The most important thing is to harmonise one's spirit with the movement of the Universe,
The second most important thing is to harmonise one's body with the movement of the Universe,
The third most important thing is to harmonise and energetically merge the spirit and body with the movement of the Universe."
The path of love, pg. 61.
"Aikido is not to defeat another in an argument or a fight, but rather in one's own mission, which we have received from Universal mission, by overcoming one's own self and the very desire of victory."
The path of love, pg. 13
V - The principle of unified energy
"The source of Unified energy is the energy of true compassion and love."
The path of love, pg. 26
"Unified energy – the root of Strength of love;
Love, which must continue to grow.
Unified energy can neither be written
With the brush nor expressed with words,
Rather, it must be felt through realization.
Unified energy – a path not at all easy to analyse;
And yet all one needs is to follow
The natural movement of Heavens."
The path of love, pg. 89
VI - The principle of channeling energy
"When you identify with vibration of the Universe, a mutual exchange takes place. This transformation is the basis of the art – the awe-inspiring effect of energy. That is when vibration of the Universe adapts to your body which in turn gives birth to light, enthusiasm and strength."
The path of love, pg. 59
"There is great strength in one's thought and it must be practiced and harnessed, but only if coupled with the feeling."
The path of love, pg. 57
VII - The principle of formlessness
"The essence of budo is without form, because this is where spirit can exist freely and energy move correctly."
The path of love, pg. 45
"The triangle represents generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolises serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for stability, the basis of applied control.
On a deeper level, these three shapes represent the basic principles of change assuming those processes where one passes from one shape into another."
The heart of aikido, pg. 70
VIII - The principle of non-resistance
"In aikido there is a partner, but there is no enemy."
The path of love, pg. 54
"The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing."
The Art of Peace, pg. 62
"To injure an opponent is to injure yourself."
The Art of Peace, pg. 64
"Practice of Aikido is an act of faith, a conviction in the power of non-resistance."
The heart of aikido, pg. 57
IX - The principle of self-realisation
"Aikido is an art of deep study
And a skill of getting to know yourself."
The heart of aikido, pg. 58
"The secret of the Way of the Warrior is to stand in the middle of the Great Void."
The heart of aikido, pg. 76
"Ultimately, you must forget about the technique. The further you progress, the fewer teachings there are. The Great path is really No Path."
The Art of Peace, pg. 114

Background Session II
Robust options to combat global climate change
From "business as usual" to creating a novel global energy system
The release of the report "Climate Change 2007" by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in February alarmed the international community. The finding that the climate change problem has been underestimated in the past triggered numerous initiatives to cut greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand recent scenarios for the 21st century show that the demand for energy will grow substantially – especially in the developing countries and emerging markets. The growth will exceed the gains thru improved energy efficiency and switching to less carbon-intensive fossil fuels. Overall emissions are expected to increase in the business-as-usual case and to induce growing global mean temperature changes.
To avoid a dangerous interference with the climate system, global emissions must decline significantly over the coming decades. This requires a comprehensive global mitigation effort, including a further tightening of existing climate protection strategies in industrialized countries and a simultaneous participation of developing countries. Improving energy efficiency is necessary, but it is not sufficient. The emission-lowering potential of switching to less carbon-intensive fossil fuels, i.e. to replace coal by oil and subsequently oil by gas, is restricted, since these options are also included in the business-as-usual case.
But there are further options: Capturing carbon from fossil fuels and storing it underground or in the deep ocean does imply higher costs but it can play an important role, at least as a transitional bridging technology. The reduction of non-CO2 greenhouse gases can help achieve climate protection targets at substantially lower costs than with efforts that address CO2 only. Land-use related mitigation options, to reduce deforestation and to afforest, are cost-effective and could provide up to 40 percent of the total cumulative abatement.
In addition, zero- or low-carbon energy conversion technologies exist. Their potential suffices to meet even the highest projections of the global energy demand projected for 2100. The available wind potential alone would be hypothetically able to cover the entire primary energy demand of the world in 2005. Even higher potentials are estimated for solar and geothermal energy. Innovative concepts are available to mitigate the drawbacks like the intermittent availability of wind and solar energy. Renewables are in principle able to substitute fossil fuels completely, but further research is needed to design integrated systems that exhibit low costs for the services envisaged here.
All of these efforts add up to the creation of a completely novel global energy supply system, which would take many decades to implement. This means that the emissions mitigation measures must start immediately and increasingly involve the entire world. The ultimate goal is a zero-carbon global society.
The costs would be less than one percent of gross domestic product assuming a reasonable price for carbon. Without it there are no incentives for firms and investors to apply low carbon technologies. Therefore, the design of a worldwide carbon market is the challenge ahead. Chancellor Merkel has proposed a carbon trading system allowing the reduction of emissions according to the two degrees Celsius target and implementing at the same time an allocation scheme which endows each citizen with the same emission right. This proposal presupposes a global carbon market – otherwise the costs imposed on industrialized countries would not be acceptable. Moreover, negotiations have been started to link the European emission trading scheme with schemes emerging in California and elsewhere in the US. International emissions trading, and related flexibility mechanisms, are core elements of any post-2012 regime.

Additional these types of used again mobile mobile phones may be used once again by the people of the creating countries such as Parts of asia as well as Africa, where the salary of the people is nothing than the people concerning civilized world.

Therefore next time don't toss the mobile telephone the same as which send it regarding recycling to ensure that somebody else can certainly recycling it. Surfing first had started way back in Hawaii when Captain James cook was on the island. The boards they used back then were made from heavy thick wood so it made them hard to even paddle out. They were later made from other materials but not till way later when the modern short board came into play. After the short board came into the picture it changed surfing forever. Surfers could then use smaller boards but they would still float the same way as the others. Except now they could catch waves fast and do tricks that they had never done before. The boards allowed them to get down the line faster then ever so they could do new aerial tricks. The airs first started in California and places like that then other surfers started to do the same tricks so they changed surfing like never before. If you were to look at surf videos today and look at surfing videos from back in the day like the 60s and 70s you will see the difference.
Swells and waves are created from wind blowing over a long distance. That's what makes the swells travel until they hit the beaches in which we surf today. Like when you were to have a hurricane the wind would be blowing hard and fast out at sea but 50 to 100 miles inshore the waves would be pounding the shores. Hurricane surf is good because you are like guaranteed good clean offshore surf sometime or another when the hurricane gets close. Other types of swells are ground swells which just pop up over night from a low pressure or something like that. Other than that waves are made from wind.
You will see the difference between a surfer who can ride the wave and one who just can't catch the wave before it breaks. The one who can catch the wave before it breaks on them and gets in front of the barrel of the wave will be the one to show you how to surf. Like me I would drop into the face at an angle so I would gain better speed so then when I stood up I would already have a good amount of speed then I would do a few little pumps down the line then do a huge lip slide or off the lip. You are not limited to what you can do on a wave when its chest to head high surf and walling up down the beach. All you do is catch it then speed down the line and perform some sick trick that gets everyone hooting and then paddle back out.
Surfing is the only type of sport where the person relies on the wave to pick them up and for them to do tricks. Unlike body boarding and kite surfing you have to stand up fast before the wave breaks on you so you can get down the line and do your tricks on the wave.

Move spurred by rise in demand for classification and testing requirements for packaging components
Whitehouse Laboratories, a division of AMRI, announces that it has increased its testing resources dedicated to U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapters 661.1 and 661.2 for packaging component qualification due to client demand.
According to these USP chapters, all primary packaging components and some secondary packaging components must comply with the applicable standards, USP 661.1, 661.2, 660, 670, and/or 381. Whitehouse Laboratories is also testing several clients' associated packaging components, such as spoons, dosing cups, and dosing syringes, for dosing accuracy, as well as per the relevant USP chapters.
While many companies have been qualifying their containers and container closure systems in accordance with the requirements of USP chapters 661.1 and 661.2, the systems tested often omit some primary, secondary, and/or associated packaging components as defined in USP chapter 659, such as desiccant canisters and sachets which come into direct contact with the packaged product. Depending on the risk and product category, testing considerations may include identification, infrared spectrophotometry, thermal analysis, extractables and leachables, plastic additives, physicochemical tests, metals, elemental analysis, bioburden, and biological reactivity.
"With an ever-expanding expert team and knowledge base, Whitehouse Laboratories is the premier source for container closure packaging system qualification," said Amanda Wohlleber, general manager at Whitehouse Laboratories. "In order to keep up with the increased demand for testing services, we have added expertise and increased capacity in the applicable testing areas – including 661.1, 661.2, 381, 87, 88, 660, 670 – specifically regarding additional associated packaging components."

Thanks to all who took part in this month's San Diego Girls Night/Networking Out (#sdGNO). The event was one of the best yet and hosted by Chef Jeff from @TerraSD. We were treated to an AMAZING four-course meal and heard about Jeff's work with the Childhood Obesity Initiative. Chef Jeff wrote a recap from the night — which includes some of the photos from the utterly delicious samplings.
Some hints:
- If you are in SAN DIEGO – you need to follow @TerraSD on Twitter. Jeff posts special deals and announcements about the restaurant as well as answers any questions regarding cooking — many of the #sdGNO folks reported they'd gotten real-time help on their Thanksgiving meals thanks to Jeff.
- Also, Jeff announced he is working up a SPECIAL super-secret menu (at discounted prices) only for Twitter folks… be sure to ask for it when you go in.
We also appreciated getting a complementary copy of the Parent's Guide to San Diego booklet from SanDiegoParent.com. Also, one of our friends @specialksd brought amazing gourmet popcorn samples for us; her new business recently popped up at the Little Italy Farmer's Market. Personally, I went a little nutzo for the Mexican Chocolate flavored popcorn – yum.
A big thanks to Stacey Ross, our own San Diego Bargain Mama for working with Jeff to set this up. She's in the midst of a site redesign – check out the progress and sign up for personalized deals here.
Our next #sdGNO will likely be in late Dec/early Jan (we usually shoot for the last weekend of the month – though with the holidayin December we may choose a different date or resume in January). Stay tuned!
If you'd like to be notified of the next #sdGNO, please feel free to leave a comment here OR let me or Stacey know. There is a list of #sdGNO folks here.

Two-thirds would pay more for better broadband
Over two-thirds of UK broadband users are so dissatisfied with connection performance that they would pay more for guaranteed quality of service (QoS), according a new survey.
The survey, commissioned by Net.com and distributed to members of Broadband4Britain, showed that 80 per cent of broadband users wanted a new service with guaranteed minimum bandwidth performance levels.
Sixty-eight per cent of the respondents said they were willing to pay more for the privilege – 21 per cent were prepared to pay 20 per cent above their current broadband bill for better service.
The survey attributed the demand for guaranteed QoS to people's love of high-bandwidth applications. Of those who said they would pay a 20 per cent premium for better broadband, 92 per cent put both secure links and Internet telephony as primary interests, while 42 per cent put video streaming and 33 per cent put video conferencing.
"Customers have become increasingly sophisticated in their use of the Internet, and new business and entertainment applications are straining the Internet to its limits," said Steve Shaw, director of industry relations for Net.com.
"This survey shows that customers are willing to pay premium for service level guarantees that let them use their broadband connections to stream audio or video, use IP telephony services or work from home."

Vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Nad Sylvan is currently one of the finest singers in the international progressive rock scene. In addition to his recent work with former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, Nad recently released a superb solo album titled "Courting The Widow" that was one of the finest progressive rock albums of 2015.
Nad talks to Progressive Rock Central in this exclusive interview:
Can you give our readers a brief history on how you started your musical career?
I sought to myself to the piano when I was about 5. Started to compose maybe a year later. I joined various bands in my teen years and after a while drifted into progressive rock with stacks of keyboards and mikes around me. Apparently I never got out!
What do you consider as the essential elements of your music?
Melody, harmony and rhythm. Arrangements that supports the lyrical content.
Who can you cite as your main musical influences?
I know people think it's generally Genesis, but it's so much more than that. Everything that rocked in the 1970s plus lots of soul music.
Tell us about your first recordings and your musical evolution.
I recorded a single when I was 19, a total Genesis rip off. But that's fine, I think I was excused being so young and with such high ideals. Two years later that band, which was called Avenue, broke up. I drifted into fusion, jazz rock and so on in the early 80s and formed my own band. We never played any gigs, but I learned a lot during that time.
In 1984 I joined a band that became "One By One", a funk rock band in the same kind of musical hybrid style as Prince, Scritti Politti and etc. We made it as far as being the supporting act to Lionel Ritchie in 1987. I went solo after that and recorded a couple of unsuccessful solo albums until I met Bonamici in 2003. We formed "Unifaun", recorded an album, which is now my musical platform. That's when I started to get some kind of recognition. In 2008 Roine Stolt contacted me, we made three albums and in 2012 I heard from Steve Hackett.
What's the concept behind your latest album, Courting the Widow?
Death and the sea.
Along with Italy, Sweden has produced some of the finest progressive rock groups in recent years. Why do you think Sweden generates so much talent?
It wasn't always like that. I think the Internet opened up so many possibilities for everybody, let alone for myself, and the Swedes were very quick to latch onto this new digital world.
There seems to be a dark theme in the lyrics of many Nordic progressive rock artists. Why do you think so many acts have this gloomy side? Would the music be different if it was composed in sunnier and warmer places like Tenerife or the Costa del Sol?
I think you just came up with the best answer yourself.
Although you are known as a vocalist, you also play various musical instruments and you do it quite well. Tell us about your musical training.
I taught myself everything I know. Singing is my key element, second comes piano and keyboards. The rest I do on my recordings such as guitars, takes an awful lot of time for me to get it right.
Your most recent solo album features a lot of beautiful mellotron-sounding work. What does the mellotron represent to you?
Fragile moods.
How did you connect with guitarist Roine Stolt?
He got in touch with me after he'd heard Unifaun back in 2008.
And how did you link up with Steve Hackett?
Same thing there four years later. But I was also recommended through Win Voelklein who promotes the Night of the Prog festival in Germany, where I have performed three times now.
How do audiences react to your versions of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis songs?
Nowadays they are alright with it. They have allowed me to grow into the role.
It wasn't easy at first.
On April 19, 2016 you'll be performing as part of the Steve Hackett band in Durham, North Carolina which is where we are based. What material will the band be presenting there?
The same show we did in the autumn. 50% Hackett solo stuff, 50% Genesis.
In addition to your solo work, you are currently involved in other projects like Agents of Mercy. What's the focus of Agents of Mercy?
I am currently not involved in anything but Hackett and my solo career. Agents of Mercy has not released anything since 2011 (The Black Forest), and we haven't played together since 2012.
If you could gather any musicians or musical groups to collaborate with, whom would that be?
Basically the people that play on my album "Courting The Widow". Especially Nick Beggs and Doane Perry. But also Jonas Reingold is a fabulous player and a good friend.
Do you have any upcoming projects to share with us?
I am working on a follow up album to "The Widow" right now. That will take me at least a year.

Unifaun (2008)
The Fading Ghosts Of Twilight (2009), with Agents of Mercy

Qantas IT calls Bangalore home
Until it announced the move yesterday at its AGM, Qantas had shrouded its offshoring plans in secrecy, but workers have reported that for some time they have been training the Indian workers who will take their jobs processing data for a range of online services like Frequent Flyer and Qantas.com.
"Three hundred and forty Australian families are not going to know whether their major breadwinner is going to have a job and this is an absolute outrage," said the Australian Services Union's assistant national secretary, Linda White.
"These Australian IT workers have built Qantas ... and are responsible for security and engineering and a range of maintenance issues that the Qantas board are clearly not aware of."
"The implications are enormous not only for employees but also for the flying public," said White.
Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon defended the move, saying it was for the good of the company and airlines should be at the forefront of globalisation. Dixon came away from the meeting $3.7 million richer, after being awarded 900,000 new shares in the company.

Wildlife photographers all have a particular goal when they are out in the field capturing their subjects.
These may be photographing for commercial reasons such as stock images, wildlife prints, images for books, and marketing, to name a few.
Some do it for the love of it, the passion it constantly fuels, the sweet memories it evokes and the story that it tells. I would most certainly position myself in this category.
This image and experience is very personal to me. This is more than just an ordinary image. It has a unique story behind it and certain elements captured within this image can relate to the plight of these magnificent animals, the struggles that they are undeservedly forced to face on a daily basis.
I have titled this image – " Blurred Lines."
Firstly, the technique I used, a radial blur, does create the effect of drawing your gaze to the horn whilst most of the other elements are out of focus. This rhino's single most distinguishing feature is also the sole reason for it's radical decline.
I decided to portray this rhino in monochrome, punching the contrast, lifting the blacks and lowering the highlights. There's truth within this as it does depict the gloomy outlook for this animal. All colour has seemingly faded as we fight for their survival.
The implied movement of the people around the animal suggests that there are a myriad of conservation initiatives out there, frantic and disorganized. There seems to be endless talking and only a select few behind the scene's getting their hands dirty. Most involved have had limited success in their efforts to reduce the poaching and potential destruction of the species.
The blindfold is significant. They have poor eyesight. These mighty beasts have few natural enemies and no need for strong eyes. Sadly this has made them easier targets and allows poachers a gateway for committing foul deeds. The physical blindfold symbolizes the fact that the animal cannot visualize the bleak future that they face today. They cannot see the poachers coming before they meet their fate, and they know not the dire situation they find themselves squarely within.
The lines are blurred, the boundaries have been crossed and blood money has passed through foul hands.
Our rhino's cannot help themselves. They cannot fight for their survival.
It is up to me, and it is up to you.

Milan Coach Gennaro Gattuso admits he can't compare to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger - "I'm just starting, he's been coaching for 30 years".
The Rossoneri take on the English side tomorrow in the first leg of their Europa League clash, and Ringhio is full of respect for his opposite number.
"It's not a challenge with him, because in that regard it's not a contest," Gattuso said in his pre-match Press conference.
"He's won so much in his career, he's been managing the same club for 21-22 years. My path is still very long.
"It will be an interesting match, with more of a new philosophy like mine against him and his experience. He likes to play a style based heavily on possession.
"I'll greet him and I'll put myself in my corner, but there's no comparison that can be made.
"I've been through games like this as a player, everything is different now. Compared to Wenger I'm in the children's team, I'm just starting and he's been coaching for 30 years.
"We're preparing, Arsenal are a technical team that doesn't like defensive transitions. We'll have to do well not to suffer from what they do, and then make them run when we have the ball.
"We can't be afraid of the 70,000 crowd [at San Siro], we need to play with great technical and physical quality. If we do that we can cause them a lot of problems.
"We need to experience it with great joy and prepare for it well. There are players who dream of playing games like this and never get to, so we can't have the attitude that if we make a mistake it's a tragedy.
"You'll have a teammate who can sort it out for you. That's the secret."
Will Gattuso be using his own big game experience to help the players?
"The worry is how to stop Arsenal scoring. When I go to bed I dream of [Mesut] Ozil and Wenger, not about my playing days.
"That's in the past, this is something different and you can't compare it.
"I have to transfer the feeling that I and my staff had prepared them in a perfect way. When I played with [Carlo] Ancelotti that's the feeling I always got."
The Diavolo didn't play this weekend after the tragic death of Davide Astori, could that affect his players?
"We lost a great man, with incredible humility. I was at Milan when he was in the youth teams. Whenever I saw him in the gym he'd always ask me if he could use it.
"The third time that happened I told him that this was his home and he didn't need to ask my permission.
"The last time I saw him was on December 30 in Florence, before the match he told me that he was proud and happy for me and my new adventure with Milan.
"He needs to be the example for young people to follow, he was always respectful and had a fantastic attitude.
"We've lost a great man and we won't forget him.
"The team was very shaken on Sunday and the sadness remained, there was none of the usual music in the dressing room.
"In training though nothing has changed.
"Arsenal are struggling but they have great champions and they've scored 18 goals in the Europa League. We have huge respect for them, and we need to put in a great performance.
"Milan haven't played a European match in front of 70,000 people much in recent years, aside from [Leonardo] Bonucci and [Lucas] Biglia our team doesn't have much experience in Europe because they're very young.
"In Europe the matches are much more open, in Italy it's a lot more tactical, we have to pay attention to their qualities.
"We have our own, but we need quantity and quality and in that respect I'm sure we won't go wrong."

What an entertaining Humorous Speech and Table Topics Event we had last night!
It was great to see so many people from the different clubs in our Area 59 pulling together and supporting their contestants for the event, and even people attending from outside the area too. Together we made it a great evening. Especially thanks to David Marks, our contest chair of the evening (founding member of the Russian and English Speakers and currently Assistant Divisional Governor to Area B) who discharged his duties with charm, warmth and competence throughout the evening. We also thank the Citi Criers Executive Committee and Club members for hosting the event in their elegant, lofty tower.
Well done to all the supporting functionaries, and the contestants. The judges must have had a hard time with five top quality speeches to choose from, and excellent table topic responses in the room! They were all winners for the effort and excellent delivery.
Congratulations are due to Steve Edun of Meridian Speakers who came 1st in the Humorous Speech competition. He had us all in stitches, if the laughter in the room is anything to go by, with memories of a truly unique childhood! He managed to deliver an inspirational message we can take away with us: "By effecting changes in our life today, pushing our boundaries (or should that be shopping trollies), we can be the person we want to be tomorrow."
Congratulations are also due to James Jeans of Speakers Corner who really showed us the art of an excellent table topic response. Well structured, good content, responding well to the question, and closing with a punchy summary.
The final results of the contest are:
Humorous Speech Contest
1st – Steve Edun
2nd – Brett Downes
3rd – William Hagerup
Table Topics Contest
1st – James Jeans
2nd – Brett Downes
3rd – Matthew Clark
I am looking forward to seeing you all at the Division Contest next week, 16th October at London Trustmasters, where we can all support our Area winners Steve and James.

The First Chevrolet V8 Engine: The 1917 Series D
World War One was still going on, in fact, America finally had decided to enter into it after much foot dragging. While the Yanks were fighting, a newly formed-never made a car before company from the GM division debuted its design: The 1917 Chevrolet Series D car, which sold for around $1600. The Chevy people ha decided to enter the car market in a very big way- a V8 engine (the first V8's appeared in 1914 in Cadillacs. Up to this point, all cars had a flat head four or six cylinder. The Chevy engine was a 288 cu. in. overhead valve that produced 55 hp @ 2700 rpm, which was way above all other engines at that time. Its push rods and lifters were fully exposed while under the valve covers the rocker arms and valve springs were. The carburetor was a dual Zenith and had an electric Kettering Starter with Bendix drive. Both new to cars, as was its three-speed clutch (most cars then had two speeds). The car had a 120-inch wheelbase and weighed 3,200 pounds.
In 1917, not more than 600 were made and in production would stop in 1918 with about 3500 built. Because of its expense ($1400 was a HUGE amount of money then), few were actually sold. The next V8 engine would not appear until the Ford 1932 model. For Chevy, it would not return until 1955!

Some of these mobile applications will eventually be absorbed for e-governance in Andhra Pradesh, a state government release said. The initiative is part of the government's efforts in creating entrepreneurs who have a unique opportunity to lead the world in innovation.
The skill development centers, which are set up under the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC), have app developers and experts from software giants like Microsoft and other companies who are training students in mobile app development.
According to APSSDC CEO Ganta Subbarao, "Mobile apps have drastically changed the way users interact with brands. This programme of the government is bringing out the hidden talent among our students. There is so much energy and enthusiasm among them."
The APSSDC is aiming at training 5,000 students by April-May this year and 20,000 by August-September. Students pursuing any course (not necessarily technology related) can enroll in the programme.
The aim is to encourage students with interests in various fields to develop a gamut of apps, ranging from technology, agriculture, governance, beauty, fashion to emergency services, among others, the release said. The colleges enrolled with the APSSDC can be a part of this programme and encourage their students to get trained at skill development centers.
At a later stage, the state will also hold hackathons that will be an open platform for app developers to compete with one another and come up with several innovative ideas. The skill development centers would be established at various technical institutes in the state to train the students in skill development courses and particularly the 'app building programme', according to a government release issued in Vijayawada.

Let's not get weary of well-doing. I know it is hard. Sometimes, you have to force yourself to get things done. Just remember, you will feel better for every baby-step taken. If my list is too hard, make a simpler, shorter goal. I don't always get the things done that I want to get done or I plan to get done. That is life. Do the best you can at the moment. Then, let it go. Do not be angry with yourself.
What I have learned is I can accomplish many things in baby steps. This keeps life's challenges and chores from being overwhelming, as well as making them more pleasurable. This is why I keep writing and sharing, hoping you will be encouraged to join the dance of balance and grace.

Hi, there, Blogland Friends!
I have missed you. It has been some time since I've last blogged...but I've thought of you. Where you are...what you're doing...why there are no comments...you know. The usual things an intermittent cyberspace blogger thinks about.
The last time I blogged, I posted a letter that I had written to a Regional Transit Company, which shall remain nameless. Due in large part to the fact that I have little desire to be sued for libelous slander. Hmm. I wonder if First Amendment rights apply to those of us in the True North, strong and free...
However, here I sit, slightly sunburned and freshly showered reflecting not upon the Human Rights Commission's decision to reject my application for consideration of violation of Human Rights, but upon a scrap of paper that I found yesterday while cleaning up mass accumulated sheaths of paper. It is an innocent little thing, a piece torn from a free local newspaper. On the back, there are ads for cruise lines, nanny-seeking families and male enhancement drugs (funny how life sort of goes in that order...) but on the front, scribbled in my own reckless cursive, appears the following: 'who are we to comment on the propriety of another person's choice of sexual expression?'
Source unknown. Maybe it was me. Maybe I read it somewhere. It does sound awfully prolific...esoteric. I will take credit for that, I think.
I often find myself writing down things that I don't want to forget (often to forget where I wrote them, and sometimes forgetting why I wrote them down exactly...but knowing there is a reason. Like, Santa Claus.)
I thought of this little innocuous scrap of paper this afternoon...while standing at the corner of Church and Yonge Streets in the blistering sun watching my very first Gay Pride Parade.
I thought of all these people - literally thousands of them - both in the Parade and watching it, who have been subject to the judgement and moral sanctimony of those around them for longer than we can even remember. People who have been subjected to the judgements of others...judgements that we have no place making, and go far beyond our right to excercise freedom of thought and opinion.
Consider: It is against the law for any man in a relationship with another man - committed or otherwise - to donate blood. If you were dying....and a pint of blood could save you, would you care at all about the person who gave it? I doubt it.
I watched a Parade float full of couples marry along the route. I could see that same shine of love and hope in their eyes that I felt on my wedding day, even from my lowly post on the street, behind a steel barricade. How can I not stand behind two people who love each other so much that they are willing to spend their lives, perfecting that love?
I felt a strange kinship with these people...no, I am not gay. But I do know what it feels like to spend your life feeling like there is something completely beyond your control that holds you back from living the life that you want to live. And that something has everything to do with what other people think of you, and what they believe you to be.
Returning home, I was so surprised to hear people ask, 'why would you go to something like that? Are you gay or something?' Well, no. Recently married to a wonderful man, dear Sainted Husband, pretty much rules that out. But I remain taken aback. If you were struggling with something that defined you as a person and permeated your whole life, wouldn't you want people - gay, straight, bi, transsexual, black, white....whatever - to stand behind you? To say that your struggle is important because we are important to one another as members of the Human Community?
While part of Pride is the 'we're here, we're queer, get used to it' mantra, a bigger part is supporting each other and the people we love in the choices that fulfill their lives in a way that is meaningful to them.
Thank goodness for those little scraps of paper. Without them, today might have been lost in a rain of Trojans and Mardi Gras beads.
My love to you all; whomever you love and however you do it.

It's funny how, now that I'm a mom, everyone else's parenting moments I have ever secretly judged have come back to haunt me. While I was pregnant, I dreamed of taking my child to the library. I imagined spending many a sunny morning cuddled in a reading corner, taking home a wagon load of books to be read together at home, and joyfully joining other mamas and kids for story time. So, needless to say, every time I've taken Collin to the library, something turns him into a howling lunatic and leaves me trying desperately to calm him in one arm while I drag his stroller with the other past innocent library-goers (who were only looking for a quiet place to read) to the nearest exit. It's humiliating, and humbling. Not long ago, I would have rolled my eyes at such a mother who thought it was a good idea to take a baby to the library. What was she expecting? It's a baby!
Normally, Collin is truly good-natured, but there is something about the library that truly brings out the psychosis in him. The other day I was strolling him through the childrens' section, and he was actually smiling and cooing, until he realized what was happening. He'd been had- strolled straight into the library, without so much as a warning! Everyone was so quiet! Where was the chaos of down town that had surrounded him just moments before? Actually, maybe that's the problem. For a kid who loves to fall asleep in a blaring arcade, maybe a library is just too mellow.
"Why didn't they warn us?" My friend, V, laments as we talk about what a pain at times this motherhood business is turning out to be.
"They did. We just didn't listen."

Today is the 19th anniversary of when my wife and I became a couple.
I still don't know how she puts up with me.
Today is the 19th anniversary of when my wife and I became a couple.
I still don't know how she puts up with me.
Today is the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, and most people will sit down at some time today to elaborate meals shared with someone they care about, in celebration of the holiday.
For me, today has special significance because I was recently reminded of someone that I considered a dear friend when I first moved to the St. Louis metro area. It was December, 1994, when we met, and she was one of my superiors at the job I moved there for. No, she was more of a mentor, because we both did the same type of work there. Her name was Francine.
Last Saturday, my wife saw a Facebook post by one of Francine's relatives, announcing that Francine is dying of cancer. The relative used the phrase "has finally admitted that she is . . . " which says to me that Francine has been sick for some time. She was expected to die within days, but I've heard no update since.
Anyway, this got me to thinking of the many people I knew and liked at that job – and how many of them have died of cancer. Not many have died, but to a person, ALL who have died did so of cancer. What does that say about the place where we worked? Most died while still working there.
So, today I'm giving thanks for the MANY wonderful people who have touched my life over the last 55 years. Some had minor appearances in my story, some inspired whole chapters. They were all special, and I'm forever grateful to have known them. It will be a while, but eventually I will see them again. The great video game of LIFE always respawns with a new character.
but a whole lifetime for him. I'm talking about our pet cat, Merlin, who joined our family 10 years ago today. You can find our original announcement here:
Sorry I don't have any update photos to share, but he still doesn't pose for cameras. He does purr a lot, and he still chases shadows. Now, though, he prefers to chase shadows that we aren't deliberately making for his amusement.
Well, it looks like my run as an internet blogger is coming to an end, due to simple economics.
When we first moved to this area, we had a fairly reasonable rate for internet service, and we were happy enough with the provider that when I cancelled my cell phone we called them up and got internet phone for the house, using the same number. The main problem is that they have been the only broadband internet provider we could use in this area.
Over time our internet cost has escalated to where it is no longer affordable. It is now nearly 50% higher than it was when we started with them, and the quality of service has declined noticeably. The last 3 months in a row, the bill has gone up every month. There is another provider that has started moving into the area, but they can't provide service to our address yet.
So, I'm going to call Cox in a few hours, to see if we can get a slower package, or find some way to reduce our bill. If we can't, it will be time to pull the plug on our internet, and that might take our phone with it.
I learned a little while ago that one of my mom's brothers passed to his next adventure early this morning. While I can't say he was someone I felt close to, he treated my family alright when we got together while I was growing up.
Still, it is a fitting capstone to a particularly gruesome week. In my last post, I stated that I woke up with another migraine. So, imagine my surprise when my wife reads to me from an email newsletter by Dr. Sears (I hope I spelled that right) that Imitrex actually CAUSES migraines – and makes them worse by both intensity and frequency. This is because of a physical manifestation known as a rebound effect. In other words, what it does to provide relief is only a treatment of symptoms, and the problem is worse when the medicine wears off.
Well, I'll vouch for the "makes them worse" part – this last migraine lasted 5 1/2 days, and for the last few months the classic ID tags of a migraine (light sensitivity, upset stomach, audio distortion) have been showing up in pairs about half of the time.
Oh, and the rest of the story on how this week went? Before the migraine had run it's course the National Weather Service was posting severe weather watches for this whole area. The storms started about 10:30pm (2230 hrs) last night, and it's been pretty steady ever since. MIGHT end tomorrow, but no promises.
Last night my wife and I were watching a disc we got from Netflix. I was sitting in my recliner, with a cat sound asleep on my lap, when she got up to go to the kitchen. Seeing her heading that direction, I held up my empty coffee cup and asked if she'd mind getting me a refill – so I wouldn't have to wake the cat.
She wanted to know what she should put in it, and I responded with "something hot, brown, and wet."
Then SHE asked me if I meant Zoe Saldana or Halle Berry.
I really should have just said "coffee". Besides, even if they were willing, neither one of them would fit in my coffee cup.
I have written before about the fact that I have a history that includes a fight with a bone tumor back in 1980. I recently wrote a summary of the events that led to that diagnosis, because my lawyer in the fight with Social Security thought that it would be helpful to our fight. After some reflection, I decided to post it here, as well. Hope you find reading this to be helpful in understanding me . . . .
Vernon Pope's Bone Tumor Discovery
This is a factual summary of the events leading to the discovery of a bone tumor in my left femur in October of 1980.
The story begins on September 17th. I was active duty in the United States Army, assigned to Ft. Eustis, Virginia, training to be a helicopter mechanic. On that day, I awoke with the rest of my unit at 0500 hrs. (which was normal for all normal duty days). At the time I awoke, I was not aware of anything amiss. I sat up, spun on my bed, and placed my feet on the floor, feeling normal. The very moment I stood up, I felt a searing pain I have struggled to describe ever since. The best estimate I can give to what that pain felt like is imagining what it might have felt like to have my whole left leg doused in gasoline and set fire. I screamed so loudly that half of the men in my barracks came running to the room I shared with 5 other trainees.
Very quickly I was questioned about what was wrong, and it was decided that I needed to get to the nearest medical aid station immediately. Two of my fellow trainees created a fireman's carry chair and hauled me to the aid station. The medics on duty checked for sprains, broken bones, charlie horses, and other usual suspects, without discovering the cause of the pain. By the time the examination was concluded, the First Sergeant of my unit was also on location. The medics gave me some non-prescription pain killers and said they didn't know what was wrong. They sent me back to the barracks on 24 hour bed rest – and specifically instructed my First Sergeant that if I was not feeling better by noon I should be admitted to the main base hospital for further testing.
The First Sergeant took me to the hospital at 1205 hrs. that same day.
The following days were a series of tests, x-rays, and other exams. Nobody who examined me ever suggested that they felt my pain was other than real, but no evidence was found for a cause with any test the hospital at Ft. Eustis was capable of performing. On October 8th, I was put in an ambulance and transported to Bethesda Medical Center for a full-body bone scan, with and without contrast.
On October 9th I was informed that the bone scan had revealed a shadow on the left femur that had not previously been seen on x-ray. I was scheduled for a biopsy of the site of the shadow for the following morning.
The doctor who performed the surgical biopsy deserves some mention, I think. He was Col. James W. Blunt, Jr, MD. He was the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Ft. Eustis at the time in question. He was also the Hospital Commander, and the highest ranking Orthopedic Surgeon in the United States Army.
I went into surgery at 0700 on October 10, 1980. I was back in my room after recovery by noon. At 1300 I was informed that I had a bone tumor – eosynophilic granuloma (please forgive me if I misspelled it – I am not an oncologist), and that I would be permanently disabled.
I want to call attention to a few facts of this narrative. First – that I experienced extreme pain all of the 23 days before we knew what was causing it. Second, there actually was a very real problem. Third, that the same sensitivity to changes in my body is why when I experience a migraine headache now, it isn't something I can medicate and still go on with a normal day.
Actually, this is a post about two different things, but I'm starting off with something we've spent nearly a year working on. You see, last July we decided to repair the doorbell on our house. We went to Home Depot, looked over several different bells, and selected what we wanted. We even got a new button and transformer, so that whatever was needed was already available. After that, all we needed was to find someone who would install it. We thought that would be the easiest part.
HA! The first couple of people we talked to couldn't do it. We tried calling contractors, who said the job was too small for them to mess with. We tried calling a commercial electrician corporation (literally, they have divisions that do HVAC, commercial electricity maintenance, and more) – they also said it was too small a job for them, even though they have been doing our HVAC service for 4 years. We talked to every handyman we knew – they wouldn't mess with it.
Finally, my wife was in the parking lot of a locally owned hardware store, buying organic eggs from a farmer we've bought from for a few years now. He happened to mention that he used to be an electrician, and she asked him if he might be interested in doing this job. No, but if we really wanted to find someone good who would do it, just go inside the store and ask one of the clerks who they would recommend for it. She did, I called.
Last night we heard the doorbell ring for the first time. Yes, it is installed and working. Here is the weird part – that job that nobody wanted to do? It used all of the parts we bought, and cost us $35 in labor.
Next – today is my daughter's 29th birthday. Priscilla, I hope it is a happy one, wherever you are.
Neither her mother nor I know – last we heard she was somewhere in the deep SW USA (Arizona or New Mexico) but she hasn't contacted either of us. I know she doesn't think much of our advice most of the time, but seriously, I would be more concerned if she never disagreed with us. Just don't be dishonest with us.

What Others Are Saying About Philips Sonicare
Like many, I believed that electric toothbrushes were junk. I believed
they could never and will never replace a good old brushing. Boy was I
My dentist recommended this toothbrush to help improve my gum health. Now I will never go back to a standard toothbrush. Let me tell you why. First, the Sonicare cleans your teeth to a polish. You will feel little or no more "residual" build up with your tongue after brushing. If you're like me, you feel around with your tongue to verify that you haven't missed anywhere when brushing. Secondly, it vibrates - it doesn't rotate. YOU control where it goes and apply pressure, and the Sonicare literally knocks crap off of your teeth and gums (and tongue!).
- Keeps getting cheaper. The most bang for your buck in an electric toothbrush, period.
- Dentist recommended. Replaces manual toothbrushing.
- Waterproof. Can use in the shower.
- Battery lasts for 2-3 days without charging.
- Charges overnight. Charger is water-resistant.
- Virtually polishes teeth. Massages gums. Mouth feels great.
B Svoboda
I like the tooth brush. My whole family uses one base with different heads. We have had it for over a year now. After using it, brushing with a regular toothbrush doesn't feel clean.
Jose Espaillat
This product is awesome. My wife and I purchased the original model 10 years ago and loved it. The newer model is just as good and even better with the curved toothbrush attachment that fits the mouth even better and allows for more comfortable and complete brushing. This product gives gentle and thorough cleaning. Definitely would recommend to a friend. In fact, bought an extra attachment for my 8-year old son.

What does your internet 'avatar' say about you?
The complete article is published @ India Onward
Today, we are all living a second 'avatar' on the internet. Every individual is getting increasingly mobile, social and always connected to the internet. While our social interactions in the real world have reduced the same on the internet & social media is increasing manifolds. Ponder for a while when was the last time you spoke face to face with your next door neighbor or friend, in most cases it would certainly be more through social media and lesser in person. This is a trend that is only increasing where we are building whole new ecosystems online to socialize with friends and colleagues or to voice our thoughts. These activities on the internet often leaves behind large amounts of precious information about who we are and what we seek. These 'breadcrumbs' of information are intelligently assimilated to build profiles about us on the internet – enter the world of Big Data & Analytics!
