more about our company philosophy and ethics.
Have you
tried our Maca
line of products?
- Yacon contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which pass through the digestive track unmetabolized, providing few calories1. The sugars, however, are metabolized by the bifidobacteria in the large intestine and contribute to improved digestions and absorption of vitamins, such as B-complex. The undigested portion of yacon serves as prebiotic-food for "friendly" bacteria.
- It may also help diabetics regulate and normalize glucose levels in the blood
due to its FOS content. It is considered hypoglycemic and holds promise as a
sweetener for diabetics and others who choose not to consume sugar.
Roots in the Andes:
It is believed that Yacon originated from the high Andean Region
now known as eastern Bolivia and southern Peru. Legend has it that
Inca messengers would dig up the succulent tubers from beside the
trail to slake their thirst. Yacon is currently grown from Ecuador
to Argentina and Brazil as a staple food crop by many indigenous
peoples, some of which have used the plant ceremonially as well.
While it is noted that there are a few distinct varieties of Yacon
found in Peru, little if any serious breeding work has been done
on the crop and it is considered a landrace at best. It is only recently,
thanks to the efforts of a few intrepid plantspeople, that this unique
cultivar is finding its way into the fields and beds of adventurous
farmers and gardeners throughout North America. We have our former
Research Director Alan Kapuler to thank for providing our original
planting stock.
How Sweet It Is…and Healthy too!
Fresh Yacon tubers are crisp and juicy with a delicate flavor reminiscent
of apple or melon and a surprising sweetness that increases in
storage. They can be eaten raw, (fresh or dried) steamed, baked,
roasted, or juiced. The somewhat bitter skin can be scrubbed off
with a stiff brush, peeled with a vegetable peeler, or removed
after baking. One of our favorite recipes is to simply chop the
peeled tubers into bite-size pieces and sauté them in a
little butter until the sugar begins to caramelize. Serve with
mashed potatoes topped with fresh parsley.
While satisfyingly sweet and flavorful, Yacon remains low in calories.
This is due to the fact that the sugar contains high levels of oligofructose
(inulin), a form of sugar that is not metabolized readily by the
human body. For this reason, Yacon shows much promise as a food for
diabetics and as a base for a low calorie sweetener. Even a tea made
from dried Yacon leaves is purported to have the ability to level
out blood sugar levels.
Research on the benefits of Yacon for diabetics
is being carried out in Argentina and Japan. High in fiber, low
in fat, and rich in oligofructose, Yacon is considered by many to
be a superfood of the future.
A Commercial Future?
After a failed attempt at industrial scale cultivation and commercialization
in Southern Europe in the 1930's, Yacon is now emerging as a commercial
crop in South America as well as in New Zealand, Japan and Korea.
The tubers are now commonly found in markets in Lima and is even
available peeled and sliced in supermarkets there. One Peruvian
company is exporting tins of chunked Yacon to Japan where it is
added to yogurt.
In another commercial initiative, a group of rural
farmers from Oxapampa, Peru, working with Scientists from the Andean
Roots and Tubers project at the Lima-based International Potato
Center have developed a process for creating a syrup from Yacon
tubers that can be added to other products as a healthy, low calorie
sweetener. While still in its nascent stages, commercial Yacon
production will likely increase as refinements in plant breeding
and production take place.
Vigorous Plants are Easy To Grow:
A distant relative of the Sunflower, Yacon seems to thrive just about anywhere with consistent moisture and moderate sun and reasonable soil fertility. The plants can reach 5-7 feet tall and have a stunning presence in the garden, although they will rarely flower except in areas with growing seasons of 6 months or more.
Rather than starting from seed, which is evidently quite difficult,
we propagate Yacon plants from dividing the "crown", a
ginger-like root structure from which the edible tubers emanate.
This is done much in the same way that potatoes can be divided, with
each new sprout emerging from an "eye." The crown divisions
are generally planted in a growing medium in a 4-6 inch pot 2-3 months
before the last frost date. The resulting plants are hardened off
and transplanted only after the soil warms and all danger of frost
has passed. Allow at least a 3 foot diameter space for each plant
to grow into.
We have found that a deep mulch, applied once the plants
are established and the soil has warmed, eliminates most weeding
and watering and will protect the tubers from freezing in the fall.
In warmer areas, we understand that Yacon, also a relative of the
Dahlia, can be grown as a perennial, with the crowns simply left
in the ground after the tubers are dug. If anyone has any experience
with this we'd love to hear from you.
Pests Are Not a Problem…mostly:
We have grown Yacon for the last few years from Maine to New Mexico
and Oregon. So far, the fuzzy broad-leaved plants seem fairly impervious
to insect pests except for the occasional voracious grasshopper.
We haven't noticed any disease affecting the plants. The only serious
pest pressure we've seen is from below. In Oregon we've actually
witnessed an entire plant being dragged into the earth by Yacon-crazed
gophers. In New Mexico we've seen tubers eaten to the point where
the plants have withered and died.
If you have subterranean pests
you might try lining your bed with chicken wire at least 16 inches
below the surface. Spreading the plants throughout the garden can
confuse the gophers and prevent the rapid decimation of your entire
crop before you know what hit it.
Reap the Harvest:
We generally wait for the plants to wither from the first hard frost before harvesting the tubers and crowns, although I've never been able to resist sneaking out a tuber or two for a pre-harvest appetizer. Friends are always amazed when I reach into the ground and emerge with a crispy tuber that is quickly peeled and consumed to everyone's delight. The tubers and crowns can also be left in the ground for months before harvesting, as long as they are protected from freezing. The tubers seem to become sweeter with storage. We've harvested Yacon as late as mid-December in Maine from under a thick layer of straw and snow.
Try to be a gentle as possible when harvesting your crop as the
fresh tubers are quite brittle and thin-skinned. We use a digging
fork to gently loosen the soil under and around the tubers before
lifting the entire root system from the ground. The tubers are then
snapped from crown.
Information coming soon.
Instructions for use:
Information coming soon.
Once harvested, the tubers should be stored in a cool dark place much like potatoes.
Even after they've begun to shrivel, they'll still retain their sweetness and
will be wonderful roasted and peeled. Fresh Yacon can also be sliced and dried
for extended storage, but it might be advantageous to allow them to "ripen" before
drying. Crowns can be packed in moist peat, sawdust, or coir fiber and stored
in a cool place for propagation in the Spring.
- Yacon is a distant relative of the sunflower with edible tubers and leaves.

Google AdWords Campaigns
Google Adwords Campaigns are a good way to get your business noticed online, especially if you don't already have a strong web presence, or if your website is not thoroughly optimized to appear and rank in search engines. At Rockland Web Design we are experienced in creating Google Adwords Campaigns, selecting the right keywords, and balancing cost vs. keyword relevance. If you want an extra boost in web traffic, or want to get noticed in a market that you don't usually target, then Google Adwords can give you the leverage that you need..
Social Media Monitoring
With the large upward trend in the popularity of social media, it is becoming more and more important for companies with online presences to also be present on social media. Memorable, frequent, and helpful posts are proving to be the best way to reach clients and prospective clients through social media—but unfortunately this takes quite a bit of time. If you don't have the staff hours or the patience to manage and compose social media posts, let Rockland Web Design help. Our staff is experienced on all major social media platforms (Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, and LinkedIn, among many others), and can create regular posts, establish a schedule for social media releases, and even respond to clients that engage with you on social media. Don't miss out on this constantly growing segment of the online market..
Search Engine Optimization
To rank higher in search engines means to bring in more business. Period. Customers click on the first few results far more often than those at the bottom of the page. Consequently, the first few websites get all or most of the business. To rank higher in search engines, a website must be structurally sound, have relevant, keyword-rich, and nearly flawless content, be present on social media, and contain all of the necessary under-the-hood elements which make it easier for the ranking-robots to understand. These elements are quite numerous, yes, but the professionals at Rockland Web Design specialize in all of the different facets of search engine optimization. The process is intensive, but the results are certainly worth the effort. Not only will you have a clean, beautiful website, but it will be one that contains exactly what the customer is looking for, and will be a site that generates return traffic. The bottom line: websites are built to engage the client or prospective client, but the client must first find or be directed to the site—in this, search engine optimization is key..
Social Media
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+…that's just the beginning of the list of hundreds of social media sites. And you need to update them all before lunch today.
You might be able to pull this off once in a while, but the real differentiators of successful social media campaigns include consistency of posts, as well as a set of cohesive messages, ones which best represent your company's brand. If you need help building a powerful campaign to accomplish this, call Rockland Web Design.
Using industry-leading tools we have garnered all over the web, we can take your business' social media campaigns to new heights. But more importantly, we endeavor to create conversations amongst your customers that will keep your company in mind as they move through the process of their buying habits.
Rockland Web Design can create and manage social media campaigns that:
Include linkbacks to unique and compelling content
Direct your clientele to specific and useful information
Reinforce your company's interest in the needs of your clientele
Direct them to compelling offers that will encourage them to purchase from your business.
Blogging & Copywriting
The single most important factor in online marketing is content. When users visit your website, they'll see the design, look over the pictures—but they will focus on the content. Content is where your message is delivered, where your product is sold, and where your service is explained. It is no surprise that the #1 most important factor for search engine ranking is relevant content. At Rockland Web Design we have in-house staff writers that specialize in writing web content and blogs. We can compose all of your website's text, or we can publish regular blog posts for you. Don't let mediocre writing hold your website back—investing in well-written, relevant web content and blog posts is one of the best decisions a website owner can make.
Content Management Services
We get it. You run a business, and have little time to update your website. So why not have Rockland Web Design update your site for you?
Give us your content. If you don't have that, give us your ideas. With just a little bit of information about your ongoings each month, we can develop customized copy for your site that will not only grab your target audience with interesting, unique information, but also give search engines such as Google and Bing the incentive to continually re-rank your website in the positive direction.
Writing unique content for your business is useful for several very important reasons:
Makes your website consistently interesting to your target audience
Give search engines the incentive to raise your rank based on keywords placed in your content
Separate your website from that of your competitors that don't bother to update their content
Reinforces the idea that your business is continuing to grow to serve its clients' needs
When you choose a copywriter. Be sure to remember that there is a difference between high-quality copywriting and amateurish, in-cohesive writing that is built with little or no forethought. Give your customers the best experience possible when reading your company's print or web materials by using experts that know how to create a compelling story.
Call us today to see how we can
create compelling content that will increase your business.
Pay-Per-Click Advertising
Pay-Per-Click Advertising, or PPC, is a cost effective way of getting noticed by clients in search engines. Since you only pay when someone clicks-through to your website, you avoid the initial overhead cost of an advertising program. When trying to manage a tight advertising budget, PPC can often be the best solution. Our staff can create an advertising plan for you, set up the PPC ads that will appear in search engines, and handle the management of your online advertising campaign. Trying to handle all of this yourself can be exceptionally time consuming—let Rockland Web Design manage your advertising campaign, we have countless hours of experience and can produce the best results in a minimal amount of time..

As much as Mr JetSetter likes to enjoy the finer things in life, now and again you just have to pack up your troubles, even if it means squeezing them into a tiny backpack and seeing the world on a budget.
Back in June I took an AMAZING trip to Central America with my boyfriend, flying overnight to Guatemala city and traveling overland by bus to Flores, Tikal, across the boarder to Belize, by boat to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, back to Belize mainland, bus to San Ignacio in the middle of the Jungle, back across the boarder to Guatemala Flores, flight back to Guatemala city, bus to Antigua, back to Guatemala city before flying to Mexico city for 5 days then home to San Francisco. Sound exhausting? It was funnily enough, but fabulous at the same time.
On arrival to Guatemala city we spent eight hours avoiding torrential downpours by playing card games in the lobby at the Intercontinental Hotel, whilst periodically trying to locate numerous close by tourist attractions that were either shut or seemingly didn't exist whilst waiting for our bus to take us to Flores that evening.
I was a little hesitant to say the least about traveling by bus overnight from Guatemala city to Flores, especially after reading and hearing some horror stories. But for the 1% of you that maybe robbed of your kidney, there's the 99% of you that won't be, so like my Swedish friends ABBA once said "Take a Chance."
It also didn't help once I arrived at the downtown Guatemala City bus station, that the coach we would be traveling on overnight, paid no resemblance to the Luxury one my boyfriend had pointed out to me on the website back in San Francisco. In fact this one, to my horror did not have a bathroom on board, they don't call me tiny bladder for nothing.
Traveling overnight by coach wouldn't be my first choice of transportation, but there's those few times in life you just have to suck it up and impress your boyfriend and go with it. Even if it means holding it in for nine hours.
Thankfully Flores was truly worth it, and after a well deserved shower we spent the early hours of the morning exploring the tiny, walkable island in the middle of a lake and enjoying breakfast. Unfortunately it was a little flooded in parts, and I came across a dead snake, tarantula and bat, but despite that beautiful!
After breakfast we booked a private minivan through our hotel, who drove us an hour away to Tikal one of the largest Mayan archaeological sites, where we spent the afternoon exploring Mayan ruins and hiking through the jungle. One should note that if you are fit and able to climb the ninety degree steps up to some of the temples, to not let your boyfriend venture inside and clap to see if there are bats sleeping inside, chances are there is, and nowhere to run.
Back in Flores we had an amazing sunset dinner at Terrazo, and I would highly recommend it. Terrazo is a lounge bar/ restaurant directly on the lake overlooking the water specializing in italian fresh pasta dishes. We ordered the grilled baby Octopus with avocado salad which was delicious, but I advise not eating the salad (avoid anything washed whilst traveling) the shrimp pasta and a well deserved pitcher of Mojito to help ease the woes of the last 48 hours travelling.
We decided for desert to head down to the local street market where my boyfriend had been eyeing up some chocolate cake which we decided to share whilst sitting on the docks. Make sure before agreeing to share desert in a relatively new relationship that they know what a corner is and that they don't rob you of the last remaining frosted piece and then continue to debate about it for the remainder of the night. After all, it was bought off a street vendor who had just used her bare hand as a serving utensil.
The next morning 5.30am came and by boyfriend didn't want to leave Flores without having experienced swimming in the murky lake that lay outside our hotel. Having researched and read that it was safe, I hesitatingly agreed to join him, like any good boyfriend. I lasted less than 60 seconds before panic set in after I visualized all that could be swimming beneath me such as alligators and called it a day. I fulfilled my duty and went back to the hotel to shower and wait for a minivan to pick up up to take us across the border to Belize.
Part 2 coming soon……..

I used to think it was mostly him, he would think it was mostly me, I would blame it on genetics, or being too busy or having a small house, but there was really no getting away from the fact that we are messy and and things were not getting any better.
Then I came across this book through one of the blogs I follow and it really is life changing. I have not completed the whole process yet, but we are getting there. One really important message I got from the book was that if you are a messy person it's not your fault, you aren't lazy, you aren't missing the gene for being tidy, in actual fact you just never learnt how to be tidy.
After reading this it seemed obvious. My mum won't be offended when I say I grew up in a messy house (though the insides of her cupboards were always immaculate!). Through no fault of my own and no intention of my parents I failed to acquire those skills necessary for keeping my house in the style that I so envy in our friends.
So when I came across a book that not only claimed to be able to teach me how to be tidy, but to be tidy for the rest of my life, I thought I must be onto a winner.
The basic principle in the book is to go through all your things, hold each one in your hand and ask yourself if it sparks joy. If it does you keep it and if it doesn't you get rid of it thanking if and wishing it well.
Marie Kondo gives you an order in which to go through your things, clothes, books, paper work, miscellaneous items and sentimental items.
I have been through the first three categories, but stuck on the third because it is so vast. I keep re-addressing the first three categories and getting rid of more things that I felt I needed to keep the first time round.
So far it's been a great experience, I have got rid of almost all my paperwork, including all my notes from my degree and teacher training, I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to keep them! I also got rid of all my old bank statements and pay slips (keeping anything essential). I got rid of about two thirds of my clothes so now nearly everything I own is in my wardrobe and three draws, there is one box in the loft with maternity clothes and that is it. Books was harder but when I stuck to thinking about if it brought joy or not, that made it a lot easier.
I now need to look at DVDs, CDs, craft materials, art materials and toys (eugh), and I will be well on the way to having the house I dream of (in terms of what is achievable in this house)
Here is a before and after of my undies drawer:
Marie Kondo also gives instructions for how to fold your clothes. At first I thought it was such a waste of time folding all my pants and socks, but now I love it. Sometimes if I am having a really stressful, chaotic, messy day I'll go up to my bedroom and just take a quick look in my drawers and it just calms me down and gives me a tiny sense of control in the chaos. So I am really glad I do carefully fold all my pants and socks, not just for this reason, but also because it just makes it so much easier to find what I need, I have certainly saved time in looking for things that I may have wasted in folding.
This is the boy's shelves. I have done Boris' shelf and in this photo Biscuit's shelf hasn't been done yet. What I have been doing here is stacking the clothes horizontally instead of vertically as it was before. Storing the clothes this way means we use the clothes we like rather than the ones at the top of the pile.
Hopefully soon I will have more before and after photos for you, my main challenge is in actually finding the time to get stuck in. Marie Kondo says that once you have compled this process you will never need to tidy again, but I do see myself continually going though things and keeping areas up-to-date, especially as we so frequently have more stuff brought into the house, I have to make culls of the old stuff.

Six Months of QLE/
The end of December marked the six-month anniversary for Quarter-Life Enlightenment.
Six months is not a long time, but I'm proud of what the site has become. When I first started writing back in July, I wasn't sure how I would take to it. I liked the idea of writing a web column, and I was inspired by the many individuals who make some or all of their living writing on the web, but I wasn't sure if my enthusiasm would last beyond the first week or two. I'm happy to say it has.
Even though the site is still in its infancy, I hope to make 2012 a big year for QLE. One of my goals is to write more original articles. I greatly admire writers like Randy Murray and Seth Godin, who publish something every day without fail. It's something to aspire to. I find original pieces more challenging and fulfilling to write, and I hope you feel the same in reading them. Look forward to more this year.
I don't plan to stop the shorter link posts. I think they're beneficial, and I enjoy spreading the word about the writers who inspire me. I wouldn't share them if I didn't think they were worth your time. My goal continues to be to post something useful to the site Monday through Friday, whether that's an article by me or a link to someone else.
For those of you who have been reading all along, thank you. Your support is tremendously appreciated. I hope you'll continue to stick around and give me feedback about what you like, don't like, and would like to see more or less of. And if something I write benefits you, please do share it with others. It's the best way for the site to grow.
As a reminder, there are several ways to subscribe to the site so you don't have to remember to check back every day. You could bookmark it, but you probably have a thousand bookmarks.
RSS. Whenever you see this icon on a website, it means "Subscribe via RSS". RSS is very simple, but many people don't know what it means or how it works. RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication". Basically, it's a way of consolidating new content from many websites into a single feed. To start using RSS, you first need a feed reader. Google Reader is one of the most popular, and it's what I use to keep track of over 100 websites I read daily. If you have a Gmail account, you already have access to Google Reader. Just click my subscription link, hit the Google button, and choose Add to Google Reader. You can do this with any site that supports RSS. Now, instead of typing in 100 different URLs and visiting each site directly, you can just check your Google Reader as you would your email account. New posts will be there waiting for you. You can also use an RSS reader app on your computer or mobile device. NewNewsWire and Reeder are two of the best. (I use Reeder on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Here's what the Mac version looks like.) For further explanation about RSS, please see What Is RSS?
Email. You can have the previous day's posts emailed to you each morning. I'm working on redesigning the email template, so please stand by.
Twitter. Quarter-Life Enlightenment has its own Twitter account, which automatically tweets links to the latest posts. You can — and obviously should — also follow my personal account.
Facebook. I don't love Facebook, but if you use it regularly, it's a good way to get the latest QLE posts in your News Feed. If you're on Facebook, please do Like Quarter-Life Enlightenment.
Google+. Occasionally, I will post an article to Google+. When there is a good solution for auto-posting to Google+, I will use it and let you know.
The choice is yours! Collect all five.
As an addendum, there's also a Tumblr where I collect videos, links, quotes, and other things that aren't specifically QLE-related. Please reblog liberally. Wink wink.
Thank you, again, for visiting my little corner of the Internet these past six months. I'm going to continue to show up every day, so I hope you continue reading.
I wish you all a peaceful 2012.
— Andrew

When I was studying in Thailand this summer, I never expected to gain a bit of insight that would make being a lady so much more fun--that insight being that I have permission to be a lady!
Forever, I was practicing through my ladies' holiday. (BTW: it doesn't take a genius to figure out what I'm saying and at this point men might want to click their browser somewhere else ... unless they want to be extra cool and learn more about a woman's body since it's kind of a huge turn on to us.) I was toiling and sweating and feeling wiped out and suffering with pain, albeit significantly lighter pain because of this pose here, which targets the uterus. That pose and the associated benefits and epiphanies constitute a separate blog entry that I'll link out to in a bit.
Anyway, so I was just really hell bent on practicing every day except the moon days and the off day of the week. And one day this teacher at the shala encouraged me to take three days off over my holiday. What?! I gasped silently as I smiled at her and nodded my head yes.
What the heck was she talking about--three daaaays??? After all the work I had done to get into all of the series and move on to the next, I wasn't about to take three days off per month. Somehow the topic came up with her again at a meal. "You just need to give yourself a break--walk on the beach, meditate, do something relaxing."
What is this lazy person talking about! I protested in the quiet of my mind as I nodded yes and smiled at her. After all, she was my instructor for Ayurveda so I should just be a star, fake student and go along with it.
Then I heard through the grapevine that she is highly regarded among senior practitioners AND she does third series. Okay, I thought, now I might pay attention. So I tried it. I took three days off over my holiday. And let me tell you, when I got back on the mat on day four, I was even more flexible and energetic than ever before! It was like a paradox. And I've since looked very forward to my holidays.
The End

G-Mac warming up for Masters but Blue Monster leaves McIlroy cold and frustrated
Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell might have work to do to be ready for the Masters but while the Portrush man was upbeat about his performance and the course, the Holywood star was utterly frustrated after a trying final day in the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral.
As McDowell finished with a pair of bogeys for a 73 but still finish tied for ninth on two over par — six behind winner Patrick Reed — McIlroy had to wait until the 18th to hole a putt of any significance.
That it was a 10 footer for bogey after he had tugged his approach into the water said it all about the former world number one's week at the newly revamped Blue Monster.
Needless to say, he'll seeing putting coach Dave Stockton when he travels to California to see Caroline Wozniacki in action in Indian Wells this week before returing to Florida to work with coach Michael Bannon ahead of his final tune up before the Masters in Houston.
The current world number six had an exasperating day. It was mainly on the greens as he took 32 putts in a two over 74 that left him tied for 25th with world No 1 Tiger Woods and No 2 Adam Scott on five over par.
Whatever about his ability to dominate on big courses, he plainly has issues when the examination requires a more subtle approach to course management on firm, fiery tracks that require more subtelty and short game nous.
The new-look Blue Monster had him on the back foot all weekend. But it played into the hands of a grinder like McDowell, who wasn't even on his A game, and still finished tied for ninth despite a 73.
"It was more frustrating than anything else," said McIlroy, who was tied for eighth at halfway before his title challenge suffered a fatal blow when he had two sevens on his card in a 75 on Saturday.
"I felt like I struck the ball well for the most part, it was just on the greens that I didn't get anything going. Any time I missed the greens I didn't really get up and down.
"It's a frustrating golf course because you feel you should be doing so much better. It just doesn't allow you to. You have to be so precise just to get the ball close on some of these greens, with these pin positions."
Following Saturday's lacklustre 75, McIlroy knew going out that he would need a round in the mid-60s to have any chance of winning. But it was evident after only a handful of holes that it was not going to be his day.
He started brightly enough, splashing out brilliantly from greenside sand to five feet to set up an opening birdie four. But on a course were any waywardness made it almost impossible to get close to some tight pin positions, he was soon making up the numbers as his putter failed to behave.
Fortunate not to find the canal left of the second fairway, he was exasperated to see a series of birdie putts slip by the edge from 13 feet at the third, 15 feet at the fifth and 13 feet at the sixth.
Shoulders slumped as he walked to the eighth, where had run up the first of two double bogey sevens on Saturday, any hopes of a title charge ended when he chipped weakly to eight feet from just off the green and never threatened the hole with the birdie putt.
He ignore the "come on Rory" shouts as he trudged to the ninth tee and when he bunkered his tee shot left in the right to left breeze (a throwback to his problems playing the cut at the Honda), he inevitably failed with a 12 footer for par and simply trundled to the finish.
"I got to the turn even par and thought I should be three or four under," he said. "I feel like I played a lot better than the score suggests."
After missing a six footer for birdie at the 10th, a 12 footer for par at the 14th and then took three from the fringe after driving to the back of the 293-yard 16th.
Clearly not a huge fan of the mentally taxing, new-look Blue Monster, he cast doubt on whether the venue would be on his schedule if it weren't a WGC event.
"The old course allowed you to go low, the course the way it is now just doesn't allow you to do that," he said.
He has three weeks off before he goes to the Houston Open to prepare for the Masters but as he got set to head to Indian Wells to watch Caroline Wozniacki in action last night, he said of Doral: "Maybe re-think the schedule next year. It is more mentally challenging than anything else."
Tough as teak mentally, McDowell was significantly more upbeat after his 73, having started the final day five strokes behind the eventual winner.
Two under after eight, he bogeyed the 11th and 13th, birdied the 16th but then dropped shots at the last two holes, driving into the water at the 18th.
" I didn't really have my A game this weekend," said McDowell, who will play the Bay Hill Invitational and the EurAsia Cup in Malaysia before heading to Augusta National for the Masters.
"I guess I should be proud of myself for competing in WGCs without playing my best. I feel happy where I am at. I have a lot of work to do but it is all ticking along nicely."
Like McIlroy, he found that the course put him on the defensive and simply wasn't playing well enough off the tee, especially since changing from a Cleveland to a Srixon driver, to take it on.
"The course is great. I'd like to see more set ups like this - US Open, British Open golf. I just need to dial this driver in. Driving the ball is the key to me playing well."
Tiger Woods' back problems are clearly a major issue and when the flared up again after he play an awkward shot from a fairway bunker at the sixth, he was never a contender.
He failed to make a birdie for only the eighth time in 1,096 rounds on PGA Tour as professional as he posted a six over 78. His back may have been an issue early on anway.
Three off the lead, he hit two spectators with wayward shots in his first three holes and never got going..
"Well, it's tough. I mean, it was just one thing that set it off,'' said Woods, referring to the sixth. "As I say, I had a quick turnaround from last week.
"Normally things like this, you shut it down for a while and then get back up and get the strength and everything developed around it. So it will be nice to take this week off and get everything ready for Bay Hill."
Forced to withdraw with five holes to go in the final round of the Honda Classic, the back issue is clearly worrying not just for the Masters, but the future.
He was plainly relieved just to get to the finish having pulled out with back spasms with five holes to go in the final round at the Honda Classic the previous Sunday.
"It's over," he said. "It's finally over. Which is good.''
As for his plans, he was tighlipped: "I don't know, just let me get through this day, get some treatment and we'll assess it as time goes on."
Texas born Reed became the youngest winner of a World Golf Championship at the age of 23, supplanting Woods.
He was subjected to a torrent of criticism on Saturday night for saying he felt he was a top five player in the world. But after winning for the third time in nine months in impressive fashion, he will clearly be a force for Tom Watson should he make the US Ryder Cup team.
Two ahead overnight, he birdied the first and bogeyed the second to see his lead down to one. But he found another gear and saw off all comers, wisely played for bogey at the last for a 72 and a one-stroke win on four under 284 from Bubba Watson (68) and former Irish Open champion Jamie Donaldson, who shot 70.
The Welshman birdied the 17th needed a birdie at the 18th to draw level with Reed on five under. But he bunkered his approach and bogeyed.
As a consolation prize, he earned enough cash to move up to second in the European Ryder Cup rankings and the PGA Tour may yet meet Reed at Gleneagles in September.

"The Forsaking", the new video from the Italian brutal/symphonic horde FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's second full-length album, "Agony", which was released in August 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD's intricate cover design was handled by Marco Hasmann, who previously worked with the band on the "Mafia" and "Oracles" releases.
Commented the group: "The album cover is about the eternal struggle of mankind; we're condemned to live facing our evil side, which dwells in every one of us. We are like tied to the ground, forced in chains that can't be broken, so the man in the cover is representing all humanity and its eternal agony, knowing that it's almost impossible to liberate ourselves from the obscurity of our nature. Unless we decide to admit to ourselves who we are and face our doom, that would be the only way to free our kind and rise to an higher conscience, someday."
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE is:

A bus can have an associated bus object, which provides properties that Simulink® uses to validate the bus signal. Bus objects are optional for virtual buses, but required for nonvirtual buses.
A bus object specifies only the architectural properties of a bus, as distinct from the values of the signals it contains. For example, a bus object can specify the number of elements in a bus, the order of those elements, whether and how elements are nested, and the data types of constituent signals; but not the signal values. A bus object is analogous to a structure definition in C: it defines the members of the bus but does not create a bus. Another way of thinking of a bus object is that it is similar to a cable connector. The connector defines all the pins and their configuration and controls what types of wires can be connected to it. Similarly, a bus object defines the configuration and properties of the signals that the associated bus must have.
A bus object is an instance of class
Simulink.Bus that can be stored in a location such as the base workspace.
The object defines the structure of the bus and the properties of its elements, such as
nesting, data type, and size.
A bus object serves as the root of an ordered hierarchy of bus elements, which are
instances of class
Simulink.BusElement. Each element
completely specifies the properties of a signal in a bus, such as its name, data type,
and dimensionality. The order of the elements contained in the bus object defines the
order of the signals in the bus. A bus object can also specify properties that were not
defined by constituent signals, but were left to be inherited.
You can use the Simulink Bus Editor to create and manage bus objects, as described in Create Bus Objects with the Bus Editor, or you can use the Simulink API, as described in Create Bus Objects Programmatically. After you create a bus object and specify its attributes, you can associate it with any block that needs to use the bus definition that the object provides.
You can save bus objects as MATLAB® code or as a MAT-file.
You must use bus objects for these modeling configurations:
Nonvirtual buses that cross model reference boundaries
MATLAB Function block or Stateflow® charts that input or output buses
S-function or Legacy Code Tool interface with external code
If you use Bus Creator block parameters to specify bus signal properties, all blocks downstream from the bus inherit the same properties.
You can use Bus Creator block parameters to define virtual buses and perform limited error checking. To perform thorough error checking on a bus, associate a bus object with that bus. Using bus objects to check bus signals for errors is important when you want to create reusable and shareable model components.
To make it easier to trace the correspondence between the model and the generated code for a bus, use a nonvirtual bus. The generated code for a nonvirtual bus produces a structure, but also can result in multiple copies of some bus signals.
You can associate a bus object with several blocks. Some blocks require that you specify a bus object if the block has a bus input or bus output. When a bus object governs a signal output by a block, the signal is a bus that has exactly the properties specified by the object. When a bus object governs a signal input by a block, the signal must be a bus that has exactly the properties specified by the object. Any variance causes an error.

To associate a block with a bus, in the Block Parameters dialog box, set
Data type to
Bus: <object
name> and replace
name> with the bus object name.
If a subsystem that is in a library contains a block that uses a bus object, all instances of that block must match the bus object specification.
Do not set the minimum and maximum values for bus data on blocks with bus object data type. Simulink ignores these settings. Instead, set the minimum and maximum values for bus elements of the bus object specified as the data type. The values should be finite real double scalar.
For information on the
Minimum and
Maximum properties of a bus element, see
Using bus objects in a model involves performing these tasks, in many cases iteratively.
Determine where you need or want to use bus objects.
Determine how you want to manage the bus objects, to keep track of the bus objects used by a model and the models that use the bus objects.
Create the bus objects in the MATLAB base workspace.
Export the bus objects from the base workspace to a MATLAB code file or a MAT-file.
Import bus objects from files to models that use the bus objects.

Registration Renewal
The registration of all vehicles in Hawaii must be renewed every year in the county where the vehicle is registered and being driven.
Renewal application forms are mailed to the registered owner approximately 45 days before the vehicle's registration expiration date, to the last address on file.
To renew your registration please mail the renewal application form, along with your check for the amount indicated. Also, if it is noted on your renewal form, include a photocopy of your current vehicle inspection certificate.
If your renewal application indicates that you have outstanding traffic violations, you are required to submit an outstanding violation clearance letter for that vehicle before your application can be processed. To obtain the outstanding violation clearance letter, contact the traffic violation bureau at the following locations: Judiciary Building at 777 Kilauea Avenue, Hilo; Keakealani Building, 79-1020 Haukapila Street, Kealakekua; or at the Waimea Civic Center, 67-5187 Kamamalu Street, Kamuela. Mailed renewals must be postmarked no later than 10 working days before the end of the expiration date.
If you did not receive your renewal application by mail, you may renew by submitting a photocopy of your current certificate of registration, current vehicle inspection certificate, and if required, a traffic violations bureau clearance to your nearest motor vehicle registration office. Registration personnel will determine total fees due.
If there is an address error on your renewal application or on your current certificate of registration, line out the incorrect address and print your correct address before submitting these documents for renewal.
Effective August 1, 2009 failure to renew your registration on time will result in a penalty of $16 for passenger vehicles ($8 County Tax Penalty Fee plus $8 State Tax Penalty Fee) and $40 for commercial vehicles ($20 County Tax Penalty Fee plus $20 State Tax Penalty Fee) per year. For more information see the article in the Hawaii County News county-alters-fee-for-delinquent-weight-tax-payment

Special Instructions For Non-Resident Military
Members of the United States Armed Forces on active duty stationed at a military installation in Hawaii and who are residents of another state are exempt from payment of Hawaii's motor vehicle registration fees.

If you qualify and want to be exempt from the tax, you must submit a completed Non-Resident Certificate Form MVR/DF10. A completed form is required each time you are applying for the following:
Renewal of a Hawaii registration.
Hawaii registration of a vehicle previously registered in another state or county.
Hawaii registration of a newly purchased vehicle, and
For transfer of ownership of a previously Hawaii registered vehicle.
Should you leave active duty, change your residency to Hawaii or are stationed out of the state of Hawaii but your vehicle remains in Hawaii, you are no longer exempt from Hawaii's motor vehicle weight tax. To avoid a penalty for delinquent registration, you must re-register your vehicle within 30 days of the effective date of your change in status.
Registration personnel will determine the amount of the registration fees that must be paid.

About the Marin Cursillo Community
After the three day weekend, we are called to live our "4th Day", the rest of our lives, through a life of friendship and love with our neighbors and God. Our Cursillo activities serve to support and sustain us in our relationship with Christ and to foster a stronger sense of Christian community.
Group reunions (4th Day Groups and Ultreyas) are two of the most important Cursillo community gatherings. Participation in a 4th Day Group with other Cursillistas is a primary objective of the Weekend to extend the spiritual journey begun during the weekend. 4th Day groups meet regularly and some Cursillistas may belong to more than one group. You may have been asked to join one after your weekend or you can find listing of groups and times on this website. You and others from your weekend may wish to start a 4th Day group. Help is always available to those who have this goal.
Ultreyas are a gathering of Cursillistas in a geographical area, for instance the Marin Cursillo Community Ultreya. The Ultreya serves as a structure to assist Christians in their perseverance. It is a mini weekend all in one night. Music, testimony, food, prayer and sharing each one's journey. Ultreyas are usually held 3 to 4 times per year.
Palanca is prayer for the weekend coupled with an outward sign of love, encouragement and concern that can lead to spiritual growth. Palanca also can take the form of the gift of personal sacrifice, time, money and food. This not only enhances the weekend experience but also can be offered to others after the weekend.
Fundraisers are another time when the Marin Cursillo Community comes together to not only raise funds for the administration of Cursillo, but also to offset some of the costs of the weekend so candidates are not burdened financially to attend. While the main purpose is to raise funds, the underlying gift is bringing the community together to celebrate the gift that Cursillo has meant for their lives and to be able to help pass that gift on to other Christians with the help of funds raised. There will be 3 to 4 fundraisers a year.

Home cleaning takes on an entirely new meaning when there is mold present. Whether this is as a result of a plumbing leak or has simply come about because of an opening to the outside, mold can be devastating in a lot of ways if you do not clean it up properly. There are also potential hazards that can come from attempting to clean up mold by doing so improperly. Fortunately, this is one part of home cleaning that you can do with relative ease.
Stop the Source of the Problem
The first step is always to eliminate the source of the problem. If there is any way that more water can get to the area, stop this at once. If there is a leak, patch it promptly and thoroughly. There is no sense cleaning up the existing mold just to have it reappear in a month or so.
Products and Safety Precautions
Contrary to what a lot of people believe, using bleach to clean up mold is not the best solution to this problem. In a lot of cases, there are specialized chemicals that will work better. In other cases, alternative types of chemicals such as tea tree oil, ammonia or vinegar can also work well. This generally depends on how bad the mold has gotten.
In some cases, cleansing a moldy area with baking soda or grapefruit seed extract is a great way to both moisten it enough to not have to breathe in the mold and to freshen up the scent. Even when mold is moist with whatever cleaning solution you use, it is still advisable to wear a mask to protect your lungs. Wearing rubber gloves can also be a good idea if you have sensitive skin.
Scrubbing and Removing
There are times when you can simply scrub out the area and times when you have to actually replace some things. For the most part, if mold is just sitting on the surface somewhere in your home, you can scrub it out and everything will be fine. But if there is weakness in wood or drywall, you may have to rip out and replace the parts that are damaged. If there is mold inside the drywall or floor, scrubbing the surface will not take care of it. You may even find an additional cause of the mold that you did not originally see to deal with.
A clean living environment is critical to a healthy life. If you are too busy to clean your home regularly, consider hiring housecleaning services. It is well worth it!

In his book "Crazy Love" Francis Chan argues that craziness is a virtue. God shows His love for us in crazy ways. (The creator of the universe bottles our tears, sent His son to die for us, etc.) Now why not love God back in a crazy way?
He defines crazy people as obsessed. (Preoccupied with a single emotion or topic.) Chan then lists the characteristics of someone obsessed with loving God:
Lovers - Obsessed people give freely and openly. They love their enemies and those who can never love back.
Risk takers - Obsessed people care more for God's kingdom than their own safety and comfort.
Friends of All - Obsessed people connect with the poor in some way.
Crazy Ones - Obsessed people care more for obeying God than fulfilling the status quo.
Humble - Obsessed people seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known.
Servers - Obsessed people enjoy serving people.
Givers - Obsessed people are known as givers, not takers.
Sojourners - Obsessed people think about heaven frequently. They are concerned with eternity more than the present.
Engrossed - Obsessed people love God above everything else.
Unguarded - Obsessed people are raw with God. They mask nothing with Him; He is their safe place.
Rooted - Obsessed people read the Bible throughout each day to strengthen their relationship with God.
Dedicated - Obsessed people care more about their character than comfort.
Sacrificers - Obsessed people want to be faithful to their Savior out of thankfulness. They aren't trying to earn forgiveness.
My obsession to honor God is growing. I aspire to live out these attitudes. That's why I'm blogging them. Though I may pass the book on to others this list remains posted here.
The world will likely believe us crazy if we live this way, but who cares? Call me crazy.
