Live from Giants Stadium
Hello from Giants Stadium. For the
final time for a Giants game. Huge crowd. Lots and lots of tailgaters.
I will never pretend to understand
weather, but I know this: It's infinitely nicer today, on Dec. 27, than it was
for most of the Yankees home playoff games. The sun is shining and the Giants
are driving. Eli just completed a pass with Peppers in his grill. With Peppers,
you get the feeling he can be as good as he wants to be, don't you?
Looking forward to Jets-Colts and
the Revis vs. Wayne subplot.
Will check in a bit later.

Just about this time last year I wrote a review of the Kubota Lightroom 1 DVD, at the time I called it "the best Lightroom training DVD I have ever seen".
Well, Adobe has upgraded Lightroom to V2 and Kevin Kubota has followed with "RAW Workflow for Lightroom V2".
Kevin has built upon the excellence of his first DVD, effectively raising the bar on what folks should expect from a training DVD. Not just his, but anybodies.
The very first thing I noticed about this DVD is that the interface has been streamlined and is easier to use, much more intuitive.
The second thing I noticed was that Kevin is better too, he seems smoother and more confident in his presentation style, having grown more comfortable in his role as a teacher.
The DVD begins with an overview of what's new and different in Lightroom 2 (like two monitor support, post crop vignette, the adjustment brush, etc.).
If you shoot often and/or much, one of the (many) things you will learn from Kevin is the best method for labeling and sorting your images, because it is soooo much more than deciding "good" or "bad" and what is shared on this topic alone is almost worth the price of admission. Kevin will take you to the next level and expand this beyond Lightroom, demonstrating how he organizes his image files and folders on his computer hard drive.
He shares a bunch of information with you before he ever gets into image editing, like what your Lightroom preferences should be and why, and how to synchronize images shot with different cameras that do not have their clocks synchronized.
Kevin's goal is to make you a Lightroom power user, so you can provide your client with the best possible image in the least amount of time.
Because really, is your goal to sit in front of your computer editing images, or to be behind your camera taking them?
It's only after squeezing out every bit of information on Lightroom efficiencies that Kevin then moves into the image editing workflow.
Most of you have heard the expression, "you don't know what you don't know", but when you finish this DVD you will know just how much you did not know before. Kevin walks you through the entire image editing workflow process from A to Z, sharing with you all the possibilities along the way.
If knowledge is power, this DVD that runs for almost 3 1/2 hours, will make you feel like a king.
Finally there are two other significant upgrades that come with this DVD:
1. The client database that was available to folks who bought version 1 (yes, the same client database Kevin uses for his own photography business) is new and improved, and is an outstanding tool for any studio. You will be given the link to download this free of charge.
2. Kubota Lightroom Presets V2 (sold separately for $49) also are included with this DVD at no additional charge. I know I've said this before but it's worth repeating, these are the only presets I use. Why? Because these are the best presets I have used. I have wasted more money purchasing presets and have been given a bunch as well but every one of them have been removed.
This DVD is $99 and to me (and many of you) $99 is not a small sum of money, but purchasing this DVD is not spending money, it's making an investment. An investment that ensures you will get the most out of Lightroom and it ensures your clients will get the best possible images out of you.
If you are one of the many folks who purchased Kubota Workflow for Lightroom 1 DVD, you can upgrade for just $39.
"RAW Workflow for Lightroom V2" will give you back a precious commodity, time. How often have you said, "if I only had a little more time"? Well, here's your chance.
I can say without hesitation or reservation that if you could buy just one thing to improve your photography this year, this DVD should be it.

This can sometimes be a controversial topic: Should you encourage your clients to access account information online, communicate with your firm electronically or even take your relationship from being primarily face-to-face to more virtual?
I believe it is a good idea with most clients today, and it is even more critical as you serve the next generation of wealth. Some advisory firms do an excellent job serving their clients using virtual tools. Still, for many other firms it is a challenge to get clients online. Instead of swinging for a home run with your virtual strategy, let's discuss a couple of singles and doubles that your firm can try for.
First, determine which of your clients are already using online channels, either through your website, your custodian's website or other electronic channels. Clients who are already online are a great source of information on not only what they are doing online but, more importantly, why they use particular resources. They will help you understand what is valuable and even provide you with ideas on how to improve their experience. Ultimately, this feedback will also help you explain the benefits and features for the next client. If you need a place to start, ask your custodian which of your clients have online access for their accounts and electronic delivery of statements and other documents.
The next question involves understanding the primary online channels your clients use to connect with you and with their accounts and reports. Is there any consistency between the various products and channels?
For example, perhaps your clients can view their performance reports online, view their accounts directly through your custodian's website and maybe even use an aggregation tool available through a product like eMoney. These are all great online resources, but clients may be confused if it is not clear how the information and reports from each provider differ. You could make matters worse if you leave it to your clients to figure out on their own. It will be your job to introduce each resource to your clients. The best practice is to have a specific online access strategy, with simple descriptions of the resources available and clear instructions about how to access them.
Furthermore, be watchful of your clients' use of virtual tools that are not directly associated with your firm. The account aggregation site Mint.com is a good example. This site owned by Intuit has over 10 million users and offers a number of valuable tools and features.
However, keep in mind some of the details that are part of the terms of service. For example, Intuit uses customers' information to show personalized sponsored ads. This may not be a big deal for most users, but it is important for you to at least be aware of. That way, when you receive a call from a client wanting to talk about a new investment, you might know where the idea came from.
Conducting webinars for existing and prospective clients is another easy way to strengthen your virtual strategy. This is especially important as you build your relationship with the next generation of wealth.
Too often I hear about an advisor losing a client because the primary owner passes away and they have no connection with the beneficiaries. Connecting with the next generation can be challenging, but a webinar might be able to help. Instead of scheduling individual in-person meetings or phone calls, consider hosting a group webinar tailored to this client type. There are a number of topics you could cover, and it is a fairly efficient use of your time. Record the webinar as well so it can be available for future use.
Enjoying moderate success with your virtual strategy should not be difficult. Sometimes it is simply a comfort issue, especially for advisors and client service staff members. Be careful to not assume this doesn't matter to your clients. It does, and with a little effort you can make sure you have solutions to address your clients' virtual requests and needs.

Colgate Analysis, Penn Preview
Head Coach Tom Masella, Offensive Cooridnator and Quarterbacks Coach Brian Volk, and Running Back Langston Lacroix join us.
The cold and rainy atmosphere on Monday night felt eerily similar to the weather patterns experienced in Hamilton, New York last Saturday when the Colgate Raiders downed the Rams 38-14 at Andy Kerr Stadium. Luckily, this time we were protected from the elements in our WFUV studios, where Kyle Kesses and myself broke down the contest with Fordham head football coach Tom Masella.
Masella acknowledged that there are some elements of the Rams game that needed fixing. Unfortunately, the thing that hurt Fordham the most on Saturday was injuries, and only time will tell how key members of the Rams progress in their efforts to reach optimal health. The defense, already plagued by the season ending injury to defensive lineman Justin Yancey following week one, lacked a few of their most talented and most seasoned components against Colgate; Kevin Carter, Matt Sconiers and Brett Biestek all sat out, while injury limited Andre Delaire to only one quarter of action.
As if these injuries didn't damage Fordham enough of defense, the play of Colgate senior running back Nate Eachus only added on to Fordham's problems. The consensus First Team All-American from last season and preseason Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year showed why he holds a spot on many experts' watch list for the Walter Payton Award. After missing two games with injury, Eachus shredded the Fordham defense for 228 yards on 30 carries and one touchdown.
The Rams' offense struggled to find the success throughout the game, making a few costly turnovers and committing a handful of unwarranted penalties that shifted the momentum of the game in Colgate's direction. Offense coordinator and quarterbacks coach Brian Volk addressed these issues, pointing to a lack of execution and too many missed opportunities as the key to the Rams woes on offense.
One strong point that both coaches pointed to, however, was the play of junior running back Langston Lacroix. The highly recruited New Egypt, New Jersey native suffered two unfortunate knee injuries over the course of two years that stifled his playing time. Now back to 100% health, Lacroix ran for 70 yards on the afternoon, while his teammate Darryl Whiting added 76, showing glimpses on a thunder-lightning running game that could aid the struggling Rams offense as the season progresses. We sat down with Lacroix, and discussed his recovery process and his thoughts on the offense.
Finally, we looked ahead to the next game this Saturday at historic Franklin Field against the Penn Quakers. The two-time defending Ivy League champions, Penn will prove no easy test for the Rams. Citing Penn's offensive versatility and stifling defense, Coach Masella made clear that the Rams were going to have to give a much better effort than that shown at Colgate if they wanted a shot at downing the Quakers.
Be sure to listen to this Saturday's broadcast of Fordham and UPenn on 90.7 FM and wfuv.org. Kyle Kesses and I will be bringing you the action from the booth beginning at 5:50 PM with the One on One Pregame Report.

Houston teen reels in huge fish on Make-A-Wish trip to Hawaii
A Houston teenager on a Make-a-Wish trip to Hawaii is back at home after snagging some media attention along with a huge fish.
Sterling Ellis, 19, returned to Houston Wednesday morning from a trip to Hawaii, where he caught a 759-pound marlin.
He made the six-day trip with his mother, Tammy Colon, and a friend.
The catch came Sunday on a deep-sea fishing trip about 15 miles off Honolulu, Ellis said.
"We had put (our poles) up early in the morning and were just relaxing," he said.
When Ellis' line started reeling out fast, the boat captain anchored his pole to a chair where Ellis worked for about an hour to bring in the catch.
"He told me to play with it - let it go, wait a while and come back," Ellis said. "It was pretty intense."
It took four men - Ellis, his friend, the boat captain and a helper - to bring the 11-foot fish on board. Not a bad haul, considering that Ellis hadn't been deep-sea fishing since he was about 5 years old.
As a memento, he got to keep the nose of the fish, which measures nearly 3 feet.
The six-day trip, including the fishing expedition, was arranged and funded through the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Texas Gulf Coast & Louisiana chapter based in Houston, said wish coordinator Julie Baldwin.
Ellis was 18 when he was referred to the organization, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
A graduate of Cypress Lakes High School, Ellis said he was 17 years old when he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. He is scheduled to have a bone transplant sometime after May, when he turns 20.
"He wanted to travel, to take some kind of an exotic trip," Baldwin said. "One of the activities we scheduled for him through the chapter was deep-sea fishing. Obviously this is an above-average catch."

text: Back Viruses, Bacteria, and Parasites in the Digestive Tract What are viruses, bacteria, and parasites? Viruses, bacteria, and parasites are living organisms that are found all around us. They exist in water and soil, on the surfaces of foods that we eat and on surfaces that we touch, such as countertops in the bathroom or kitchen. Some bacteria live in our bodies and do not cause problems. Other kinds of bacteria (as well as parasites and viruses) can make us quite ill if they invade our bodies. Bacteria and viruses can live outside of the human body (for instance, on a countertop) sometimes for many hours or days. Parasites, however, require a living host in order to survive. Bacteria and parasites can usually be destroyed with antibiotics. On the other hand, antibiotics cannot kill viruses. Children with viral illnesses can be given medications to make them comfortable, but antibiotics are ineffective against treating these infections. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites can cause a wide variety of illnesses, and can infect any of the organs of the body. Viruses are often responsible for respiratory illnesses (such as the common cold) and digestive illnesses (such as diarrhea). Bacteria can infect any part of the body, but often cause diarrhea when they invade the digestive tract. What is diarrhea? Diarrhea can be caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Children can also have diarrhea without having an infection, such as when diarrhea is caused by food allergies or as a result of taking medications (such as antibiotics). A child is considered to have diarrhea when the child's bowel movements are both more frequent than usual and looser and more watery than usual. Children with diarrhea may have additional symptoms including nausea, vomiting, stomach aches, headache, or fever. How does a child usually come in contact with bacteria, viruses, or parasites that cause diarrhea? When touching the stool of an infected person (such as when touching soiled diapers) When touching an object contaminated with the stool of an infected person, and then ingesting the germs--this usually occurs by touching the mouth with a contaminated hand (can occur at day care centers or at home in areas where diapered babies play) By ingesting contaminated food or water Why is infection with these organisms a concern? Viruses, bacteria, and parasites that invade the digestive tract usually cause diarrhea. Large amounts of water are lost with the diarrhea, leading to dehydration in children. Children become dehydrated much quicker than adults, and this can lead to serious problems if fluids are not replaced and the infection treated. Also, children with a severely weakened immune system are at risk for more serious disease. Symptoms may be more severe and could lead to serious illness. Examples of persons with weakened immune systems include those with HIV/AIDS, cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppressive drugs, and those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system. Common bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause diarrhea Bacteria E. coli Description Escherichia coli O157:H7 is just one of the hundreds of strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli). Most strains of E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans and animals. E. coli, however, produces a powerful toxin that can cause a severe infection. (The combination of letters and numbers in the name of the bacterium refers to the specific markers found on its surface and distinguishes it from other types of E. coli.) The CDC recognizes E. coli as a foodborne illness. Infection often leads to bloody diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever. Transmission Most E. coli illness has been associated with eating undercooked, contaminated ground beef. E. coli bacteria live in the intestines of healthy cattle and, although the number of organisms required to cause disease is not known, it is suspected to be very small. Meat becomes contaminated during slaughter, and organisms can be thoroughly mixed into beef when it is ground. Contaminated beef looks and smells normal. Other ways to transmit E. coli include: Person-to-person contact in families and in child-care and other institutional-care centers can also be places where the transmission of the bacteria can occur. Bacteria present on a cow's udders, or on equipment, may get into raw milk causing the infection. Infection may also occur after swimming in or drinking sewage-contaminated water. It has been confirmed that unpasteurized juices, such as apple cider, may also cause the infection. Bacteria in diarrhea stools of infected people can be passed from one person to another if hygiene or handwashing habits are inadequate. This is particularly likely among toddlers who are not toilet trained. Family members and playmates of these children are at high risk of becoming infected.Young children typically shed the organism in their feces for a week or two after their illness resolves. Prevention CDC recommendations for prevention of the infection include: Cook all ground beef or hamburger thoroughly. Make sure that the cooked meat is gray or brown throughout (not pink), any juices run clear, and the inside is hot. Using a digital instant-read meat thermometer, the temperature of the meat should reach a minimum of 160 degrees F. If you are served an undercooked hamburger in a restaurant, send it back. Consume only pasteurized milk and milk products. Avoid raw milk. Consume only pasteurized juices and ciders. Make sure that infected people, especially children, wash their hands carefully and frequently with soap to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. Drink municipal water that has been treated with adequate levels of chlorine, or other effective disinfectants. Avoid swallowing lake or pool water while swimming. Wash hands thoroughly after using the toilet. People with diarrhea should not: Swim in public pools or lakes Bathe with others Prepare food for others Salmonella Description Salmonella is a bacteria that infects the intestines and causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. Over 1 million cases of salmonella infection are reported in the United States each year. The illness usually lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. However, in some people the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In those patients, the salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. Infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness. Transmission Salmonella may be spread by: Eating raw foods contaminated with animal feces.Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs, but all foods, including some unwashed fruits and vegetables, and peanut butter, may become contaminated. Many raw foods of animal origin are frequently contaminated, but fortunately, thorough cooking kills salmonella. Handling reptiles. Reptiles (such as iguanas and turtles) are particularly likely to harbor Salmonella and people should always wash their hands immediately after handling a reptile, even if the reptile is healthy. Adults should also be careful that children wash their hands after handling a reptile. Prevention Since foods of animal origin pose the greatest threat of salmonella contamination, do not eat raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, or meats. Remember that some sauces and desserts use raw eggs in their preparation, so be cautious of these, particularly in foreign countries. Also, follow these recommendations by the CDC: Make sure poultry and meat, including hamburgers, are well-cooked, not pink in the middle. Do not consume raw or unpasteurized milk or other dairy products. Thoroughly wash produce before eating it. Avoid cross-contamination of foods. Uncooked meats should be kept separate from produce, cooked foods, and ready-to-eat foods. All utensils, including cutting boards, knives, counters, etc., should be thoroughly washed after handling uncooked foods. Thoroughly wash hands before handling foods and between handling different food items. Thoroughly wash hands after contact with feces. Thoroughly wash hands after handling any reptiles, since reptiles are particularly likely to have Salmonella. Viruses Rotavirus Description Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea among children, resulting in the death of over 500,000 children annually worldwide. In the United States, the disease occurs most often in the winter, with annual epidemics occurring from December to June. The highest rates of illness occur among infants and young children, and most children in the United States are infected by 5 years of age. Adults can also be infected, though disease tends to be mild. The incubation period for rotavirus disease is approximately two days. The disease is characterized by vomiting and watery diarrhea for three to eight days, and fever and abdominal pain occur frequently. Immunity after infection is incomplete, but repeat infections tend to be less severe than the original infection. Transmission Rotavirus may be spread: Through accidentally swallowing the virus picked up from surfaces contaminated with stool from an infected person, such as toys, bathroom fixtures, changing tables, and diaper pails. Through ingestion of contaminated food, or contaminated water, such as the type of water found in a public swimming pool. Prevention A rotavirus vaccine that was approved by the FDA in 1998 was pulled from the market in 1999 because of an association between the vaccine and an increased risk for intussusception (form of bowel blockage) in infants aged one year or younger. However, no direct link was established to the vaccine as a cause of intussusception. A new rotavirus vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2006. The risk for intussusception with the new vaccine was evaluated in a large clinical trial of over 30,000 children, and no increased risk was found. The manufacturer of the vaccine will continue to closely monitor the vaccine's safety in additional clinical studies. Some, but not all, studies indicate there may be a small risk of intussusception, but the benefits outweigh the possible risks and the CDC continues to recommend routine rotovirus vaccination of infants. Handwashing is a very important means of preventing the spread of rotavirus. Careful and frequent handwashing can prevent the spread of infection to other people. The CDC recommends: Adults should wash their hands after using the toilet, after helping a child use the toilet, after diapering a child, and before preparing, serving, or eating food. Children should wash their hands after using the toilet, after having their diapers changed (an adult should wash infant's or small child's hands), and before eating snacks or meals. Toys, bathrooms, and food preparation surfaces are disinfected frequently, especially if a sick child has been in the home. Use diapers with waterproof outer covers that can contain liquid stool or urine, or use plastic pants. Make sure that children wear clothes over diapers. Parasites Giardia Description During the past 15 years, Giardia lamblia has become recognized as one of the most common waterborne diseases in humans in the United States. Giardia is a tiny parasite that lives in the intestines of people and animals. The parasite is passed in the bowel movement of an infected person or animal. It is found in every region of the United States and throughout the world. Diaper-aged children who attend day care centers, international travelers, hikers, campers, and others who drink untreated water from contaminated sources, are most at risk for developing infection with Giardia. Several community-wide outbreaks of infection have been linked to drinking municipal water contaminated with Giardia. Transmission People become infected after accidentally swallowing the parasite. Giardia may be found in soil, food, water, or on surfaces. Some of the ways people can become infected with Giardia include: Eating uncooked food contaminated with Giardia. Swallowing water from swimming pools, lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams contaminated with sewage or feces from humans or animals. Accidentally swallowing the parasite picked up from surfaces contaminated with stool from an infected person, such as toys, bathroom fixtures, changing tables, diaper pails. Prevention The CDC recommends: Washing hands with soap and water after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before handling food. Washing and peeling all raw vegetables and fruits before eating. Avoiding drinking water from lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams unless it has been filtered and chemically treated. Boiling drinking water for one minute to kill the Giardia parasite. This will ensure safe drinking water during community-wide outbreaks caused by contaminated drinking water. When camping or traveling in countries where the water supply may be unsafe, avoid drinking unboiled tap water and avoid uncooked foods washed with unboiled tap water. Bottled or canned carbonated beverages, seltzers, pasteurized fruit drinks, and steaming hot coffee and tea, are safe to drink. If your child has Giardia, avoid swimming in pools for two weeks after the diarrhea or loose stools have cleared. Giardia is fairly chlorine resistant and is passed in the stools of infected people for several weeks after they no longer have symptoms. Cryptosporidium Description Cryptosporidium, often referred to as "crypto," is a tiny parasite that can live in the intestines of humans and animals. The parasite is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods of time and makes it very resistant to chlorine disinfection. Transmission Cryptosporidium may be spread by: Accidentally swallowing anything that has come in contact with the stool of a person or animal Swallowing contaminated water from swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams contaminated with sewage or feces from humans or animals. Eating uncooked contaminated food. Picking cryptosporidium up from surfaces contaminated with stool from an infected person (such as toys, bathroom fixtures, changing tables, and diaper pails). Prevention The CDC recommends: Your child should wash their hands with soap and water after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before eating or helping prepare food. Avoid water or food that may be contaminated. Washing and/or peeling all raw vegetables and fruits before giving them to your child to eat. Avoiding drinking water from lakes, rivers, springs, ponds, or streams unless it has been filtered and chemically treated. Boiling drinking water for one minute to kill the Giardia parasite. This will ensure safe drinking water during community-wide outbreaks caused by contaminated drinking water. When camping or traveling in countries where the water supply may be unsafe, avoid drinking unboiled tap water and avoid uncooked foods washed with unboiled tap water. Avoiding swimming in pools if your child has had cryptosporidium and for at least two weeks after diarrhea stops. Crypto can be passed in the stool and contaminate water for several weeks after your child no longer has symptoms. This has resulted in several outbreaks of cryptosporidium among pool users. Crypto can survive in chlorinated pools for several days. Can my child get germs from food? Almost everyone has experienced a foodborne illness at some point in time. Contrary to popular belief, foodborne illnesses can occur when food is prepared at a restaurant or at home. If food is handled and prepared safely, most illnesses can be avoided. All food may contain some natural bacteria, and improper storage or handling gives the bacteria a chance to grow. Also, food can be contaminated with bacteria from other sources that can make you ill. Contaminated or unclean food can be very dangerous, especially to children. According to the CDC, each year foodborne illnesses kill 5,000 people of all ages. They also cause fever, stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea in an estimated 48 million Americans. Four major tips recommended by the CDC to prevent contaminating food Use caution when buying food: When at the grocery store, pick up perishable food such as meat, eggs, and milk at the very end of your shopping, so they will stay cool. Take food home right away so that it does not spoil in a hot car. Avoid raw or unpasteurized milk. Because eggs, meat, seafood, and poultry are most likely to contain bacteria, do not allow their juices to drip on other food. Store food properly: Store eggs, raw meat, poultry, and seafood in the refrigerator. A refrigerator should be set at 40 degrees F. A freezer should be set at 0 degrees F. Regularly clean and disinfect the refrigerator and freezer. Use containers to prevent contaminating other foods or kitchen surfaces. Do not store food uncovered in the refrigerator or freezer. Use special precautions when preparing and cooking food: Wash your hands and clean and disinfect kitchen surfaces before, during, and after handling, cooking, and serving food. Defrost frozen food on a plate either in the refrigerator or in a microwave, but not on the counter. Cook food immediately after defrosting. Use different dishes and utensils for raw foods than you use for cooked foods. Wash raw fruits and vegetables before eating them. Cool and promptly store leftovers after food has been served: Because harmful bacteria grow at room temperature, keep hot food hot and keep cold food cold. This is especially important during picnics and buffets. Do not leave perishable foods out for more than two hours. Promptly refrigerate or freeze leftovers in shallow containers or wrapped tightly in bags.

Today, I would like to write about something else, something other than Feng Shui. Hope my readers will forgive me for veering away from my usual topic; anyway, this blog was set up for me to be able to write about anything and everything that fascinates me. It just so happens, and little did I know that it would be mostly about Feng Shui.
Anyway, I've always been overweight and although I've tried to lose weight, I never seriously got into it until last 2010. Unfortunately, because I overdid trying to lose weight, I sort of unintentionally affected my heart. I was asked to stop going to the gym for a while and with proper caring and Feng Shui I'm now able to go back to the gym.
Of course, I would have to not overdo my exercising. I went to the gym to prevent having a heart problem; little did I know that going to the gym would cause it, albeit a temporary illness. What does it say; it only means that there are things that we don't notice that may affect our heart.
I'm sharing this with you because I know that there might be readers who want to lose weight also, and all of us should be doing it properly. Aside from doing an exercise, there are other things that can affect our heart health.
In my work as a marketing communications and PR consultant, I got the opportunity to work with a lot of doctors and other medical practitioners. And I would like to share with you some of the things that you don't know may cause heart problems.
BAD ORAL HYGIENE. Not brushing and flossing after every meal may cause serious heart problems. The reasons, from how I understood it, are not yet clear, but they believe that the bacteria cause by bad oral hygiene may travel down through our throat and affect some of our internal organs, specifically the heart. Bad oral hygiene may increase one's risk for heart attack.
DRINKING SUGAR-FREE SODA. Drinking sugar-free soda may be good for your blood sugar, but it is definitely bad for your heart. Some studies states that there's a 30% increase of heart attack amongst sugar-free soda drinkers compared other soda drinkers.
TV & COMPUTER. Being in front of the TV and/or computer for about 4 hours a day will significantly increase your risk for a heart attack. On top of that, even if you exercise, but spend about 4 hours a day on TV or computer doesn't lower this risk.

Dear Life: Stories
No other author manages to squeeze so much historical detail and under-the-surface emotion into her short stories as Canadian writer, Alice Munro. Her short fiction has enthralled me for years. Although she's written a novel or two, almost her whole output - 17 published books - is in the short story form.
In Munro's stories time is never strictly chronological. Munro artfully flits between the present and the past. She never loses control. Her transitions are seamless; the reader never has to search or root around for the correct time and place. Also, important to these stories is the emotional arc.
Dear Life is her most personal collection yet. To the ten stories included, Munro has added four memoir pieces that are not fiction, although Munro said that she fictionalized certain elements of them. If you've read the author's other collections, you'll recognize the farmland and small towns near Lake Huron, marked by poverty that Munro returns to again and again. There's also the young girl or woman breaking away from her family, seeking a better life. Sexuality often becomes a main theme and the endings are seldom happily-ever-after, but more like life, both good and bad, always complicated.
The author's father raised foxes and minx but unfortunately began just before 1928 when the market crashed. As a child she helped take care of the animals. Because her mother developed Parkinson's disease young, Alice also cooked the meals and did most of the housekeeping. When her father finally gave up the fur trade and took a dangerous night job in a factory, she packed his large evening meal.
The most absorbing memoir piece describes a summer Alice suffered from a bad case of insomnia where she often had thoughts about killing her little sister in the bunk below. To escape, she snuck out of the house each night and watched the trees limbs jostle each other and gazed at the stars. One morning - very early--her father joined her and she realized that he'd been aware of her night travels all along.
The stories themselves describe departures, misconnections, and love affairs gone astray. In "Train" a returning soldier jumps off the locomotive and begins a new life to avoid his high school sweetheart who is meeting him in a pale green dress that she made for the occasion. He begins a platonic relationship with an older woman in which he cares for her farm in a small town down the road from the one where he was born. Early on, he realizes that when small town residents don't find what they need nearby, they go to the city instead, so he is safe from his past. When his housemate/employer gets cancer and they go to Toronto together, he disappears again for a new life.
The haunting "Gravel" tells the story of a divorce from a young child's view and how she fails to save someone very dear to her. Their mother gets theatre-fever in the 1960s and leaves her staid husband and their traditional middle class life for a handsome actor and a trailer on the poor side of town. In these and all Munro's stories, the reader learns a little more about humanity.
For another interesting story collection, with several stories set in backwoods Ontario also, try Margaret Atwood's Wilderness Tips.

Van Gogh museum unveils new willow watercolor
A young Vincent van Gogh was so struck by a dead willow leaning "lonely and melancholy" over a pond near The Hague that he knew at once he had to paint it. "I'm going to attack it tomorrow morning," he wrote to his brother Theo on July 26, 1882.
The Van Gogh Museum unveiled the painting Thursday, the first addition in five years to its world-famous collection of works by the postimpressionist master.
At a time when the artist was still honing his skills in perspective, anatomy and proportion using pen and pencil sketches, the watercolor was a bolt from the blue, although its muted tones are still a far cry from the exuberant and colorful oil paintings that characterized Van Gogh's later works.
"It's a very elaborate, well done watercolor and that's quite extraordinary in this period of Van Gogh's oeuvre," said Marije Vellekoop, the museum's curator of prints and drawings. "Out of the blue, in the summer, in July, he makes a series of watercolors … with a lot of detail, but also very painterly, fluent."
The willow trunk droops over the water and a path wends its way to the horizon, where a windmill stands near a railroad depot. Not unusually for a Dutch summer, gray clouds dominate the sky, but Van Gogh also captured the occasional splash of deep blue as the clouds broke. The sky was almost identical Thursday morning — low gray clouds scudding over the landmark Amsterdam museum — as director Axel Rueger revealed the painting to the media.
Rueger said the painting, bought at auction in London earlier this year for 1.5 million euros ($1.9 million), filled a gap in the museum's collection of Van Gogh works.
"What's so special is it is for the first time a rather substantial work that he executes in color," Rueger told The Associated Press. "It comes from a very small group of works he makes at the time and we didn't have anything like that in our collection."
For now, it will hang at the Van Gogh Museum. Later this year it and dozens of other paintings will be shifted across the Amstel River to the Hermitage Amsterdam while the Van Gogh Museum closes for several months for renovations.
Van Gogh wrote enthusiastically to Theo a few days after completing the painting, and included a sketch. The letter, on faded brown paper, hangs next to the completed painting in the museum. In it, Van Gogh says he considers the willow the best of a series of watercolors he painted that summer. "I think he was very happy with the result and he was also confident that he could also work with color," said Vellekoop.
Van Gogh Museum is located on Museumplein in Amsterdam at Paulus Potterstraat 7. website: www.vangoghmuseum.nl

"have created a strain of ransomware Trojan which masquerades as a Microsoft utility"
What's the difference?
Malware-makers have created a strain of ransomware Trojan which masquerades as a Microsoft utility. The Ransom-AN Trojan claims that a user's Windows machine is running an unlicensed copy of Windows and threatens to cripple the victim's computer unless marks pay €100 to obtain an unlock code, which can be purchased via credit …
Not fit for purpose maybe a little strong, but maybe *not as good as it should be* is better?
Actually - if every new user started from a clean slate and chose exactly the OS that worked best for them, then it would prove MS was 'fit for more purposes' - but that's not how it works is it?
The vast majority of computer users buy a PC which has MS already installed on it, and wouldn't even know there is an alternative, or that it might be worth a look. This has nothing to do with whether it's actually better for them than alternatives or not.
>Not fit for purpose maybe a little strong, but maybe *not as good as it should be* is better?
Yup. It'd be interesting to see how long Linux/MacOS could remain 'clean and pure' if they became as mainstream as Windows. A lot of the problems with Windows are the result of trying to pander to the common man and make things easy and simple. As with all security it's a matter of compromise. Another raft of problems are because it's such a big target. Far better to hit 1% of Windows users than 50% of Linux users.
For all its faults Windows has underpinned the growth of personal computing for the last twenty years and DOS before it. It'd be interesting to know how the others would have faired if Windows hadn't succeeded. It certainly has it's faults but the idea that 'it isn't any good' just doesn't hold water with me :)
Ahh, so this is definitely a software issue rather than a user issue?
Well, I expect it'll be banned from sale just about as soon as all software developers are required to guarantee the merchantability and fitness for purpose of their products. I can recommend holding your breath til then; I'm sure it'll be Real Soon Now.
I got an email from 'paypal' asking if I had authorised a refund, and to click on the link provided to check the details.
Email header showed it had come from 'firstname.lastname@example.com' and the paypal link went to 'http://126.96.36.199/includes/js/gb/index.html'
So I told my wife about it and labelled it as spam.
Still - bound to catch an IE user out.
that certain financial institutions don't heed common advice ! Yes PayPal, I'm looking at you (though others do it too).
PayPal are constantly sending out emails of the "have you checked your online activities lately, click here to login" style. Yes they are genuine, and they excuse themsleves by saying "you can tell it's genuine because we've included your full name".
I've had similar from a bank, and another bank is quite happy to phone me up and expect me to prove who I am !
I got one "from play.com" encouraging me to "cancel" an "order" I'd "made".
Likelihood of a "buyer's remorse" button: 0.01%
Likelihood of SWMBO taking note of $MAIL_CLIENT's "this looks like a scam" warning: 10%, but rising.
Likelihood of me re-visiting the site which sold/lost my email details (and I know which one - and it wasn't Play - because every site gets a different one): 0%.
You have to hand it to them, as evil as they might be, I can't help but be impressed by the ploy.
Linux and Mac fan boys are always so quick to blast this sort of scenario, it distracts them from the fact that around 90% of all computer users don't use their software. Don't tell me there isn't choice either, or whine that Windows is pre-installed. If linux was so damn good then it would be talked about enough to get spread around and easy enough to install for a noob.
People I know grumble about using Open Office, let alone full blown open source OS's.
I do use Linux for certain things and wish it every success, I'm just sick of stupid fanboys.
People I know enjoy using OOO (LibreOffice) and FOSS OS's.
If MS Windows is so damn good, why to preinstall it at all?
PS I do not use Windows for anything... simply because all of those preinstalled (the fact no one should whine about) I got with my PC's either died, or were (became) soooo slow (saying nothing about them being useless and risky)....I couldn't tolerate any longer.
>>If linux was so damn good then it would be talked about enough to get spread around and easy enough to install for a noob.
FYI, some Linux distributions are easier now to install (and faster) than MS Windows. So that's why most PC are Windows preinstalled?
This is no different from a Linux user downloading lots of software from vague and shady locations and trying to install everything on his machine while being root (so that it can be installed system-wide).
But I do wonder; it poses as a MS tool, would this be a tool which you normally have to pay for or "just" a tool ? While its said to be hard to remove the trojan again I can't help wonder about that.
Win7 for example uses an hidden boot partition which always has a fresh copy of the boot setup. So using the recovery tools you should be able to wipe your startup fully clean (from last known good configuration right down to a full boot re installation). And that's not even mentioning restoration points.
Still; bottom line... Never try stuff on your main machine. Its exactly for reasons like these (well, not fully but still) why I have several virtual machines around using MS Virtual PC. I hardly grab new software tools, but if I do I first test it on a virtual OS and when I like what I see only then will I consider installing it onto my main environment.
>>This is no different from a Linux user downloading lots of software from vague and shady locations and trying to install everything on his machine while being root (so that it can be installed system-wide).
Well, it might be the fact if a Linux user you are talking about failed to dispose of this peculiar "Windows' habit". 99.999% of the software is installed from a central repository (ports in the BSD world) with installers obligatorily checking it for the signatures and checksums.

A clan called "Hybrid Warfare" has been created with some of its members using the unpopular strategy HW as a display of skill.

President Barack Obama announces his choice of White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew as the next Treasury Secretary in the East Room of the White House on January 10, 2013 in Washington, DC.
President Barack Obama nominated Jack Lew, his current chief of staff, to be the next Secretary of the Treasury Thursday, elevating his wonky former budget director to a position at the center of fights over the nation's deficit and spending.
"Jack knows that every number on a page, every dollar we budget, every decision we make, has to be an expression of who we wish to be as a nation, our values," the president said at the White House announcement of Lew's nomination.

The president did not indicate who will replace Lew. The leading candidates for the next chief of staff are former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain and Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough.
"I don't want to see him go, because it's working out really well for me to have him in the White House," Obama said of his departing chief. "But my loss will be the nation's gain."
Lew, known as a tough negotiator who clashed with House Republican aides during last year's debt ceiling negotiations, previously served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget under both Obama and former President Bill Clinton.
Lew will replace outgoing secretary Tim Geithner, who took the post at the start of Obama's first term, when financial markets were still roiling from the 2008 meltdown.
"I couldn't blame Tim when he told me he wasn't the right guy for the job," Obama joked.
Praising Geithner for his handling of the economy throughout his four year tenure, Obama noted that he pleaded with Geithner to stay on despite his onetime desire to leave before the end of Obama's first term.
Economist Greg Ip and CNBC's Steve Liesman share reactions from the markets, foreign capitals and Congress to Jack Lew as the Treasury Secretary nominee.
"When the history books are written, Tim Geithner's going to go down as one of our finest Secretaries of the Treasury," Obama said to sustained applause from the audience at the White House.
In remarks, Lew joked about his famously loopy signature, saying that he and Geithner share "a common challenge with penmanship." (The Treasury Secretary's signature appears on all paper currency.)
Obama wryly responded that, while he considered rescinding Lew's nomination over his sloppy signature, the new pick had promised to work to make at least one letter legible so as to "not debase our currency."
Critics have pointed out that Lew, who served as chief operating officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments in 2008 before coming to OMB, benefited from that unit's investments in anticipation of the housing market collapse.
That's likely to be discussed at his confirmation hearings, and Republicans like Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions have already voiced opposition to Lew's selection for the post.
On Thursday, Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue described the new Treasury pick as an experienced veteran of fiscal debates.
"Jack's been around for a long time," he said. "He's a tough dude."

NBC's Bob Costantini contributed to this report.

Are you a fan of musicals, on the stage or on the screen? Have you ever performed in one yourself? Do you have a favorite? If possible, please share where you first saw the production, how old you were, what the most memorable scene was, how many times you've seen it since, etc.
My favorite on film is probably The Wizard of Oz, because of the memorable music and all the weird fairy-tale characters. As for live productions, I've seen Phantom, Les Miserables, Ragtime, Guys and Dolls, Sunset Boulevard and others, and I can't really pick a favorite. I've always wanted to see H.M.S. Pinafore.
When I was little my parents took me to see Miss Saigon, which of course features an opening scene set in a Vietnamese whorehouse. Most uncomfortable moment of my young life!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 1, 2009) - The ETSU volleyball team is set to host Lipscomb and Belmont this weekend. The Bucs face the Bisons on Friday at 7 p.m., while the Bruins come to town on Saturday at 3 p.m.
The Bucs (5-9, 4-2 A-Sun) dropped a couple heart breakers last week to Appalachian State 3-2 and Campbell 3-1. The Bucs are led by Amanda Youell (Middleburg, Fla.) who is third in the A-Sun with 491 assists.
The all-time series between ETSU and Lipscomb is tied 4-4, while the Bucs are 1-5 all-time against Belmont with their only win coming in 2006.
Lipscomb (11-3, 7-0 A-Sun) has swept its last eight games as the Bisons are perfect in conference. The Bisons are led by Jake Pease and Alex Kelly. Pease is first in the conference averaging 11.77 assists per set, while Kelly is first in the A-Sun in kills per set posting an average of 4.45 per set.
Belmont (9-8, 5-2 A-Sun) has won five-straight including conference matches against Stetson, Mercer and Kennesaw State. The Bruins are led by Maggie Johnson as she has a team-high 216 kills.
All middle school volleyball players will recieve free admission to the Lipscomb game on Friday, and are asked to wear their jerseys to the match. There will also be a free volleyball clinic after Saturday's match for any youth volleyball players.

My name is Kat and I live near Boston and am the mom of 4 kids. My oldest was diagnosed with a nasty, terminal (genetic) brain disease over 3 years ago and the amount of "God" "Prayer" comments have pushed me to realize that I am an atheist. I never held religious beliefs but my journey in life has brought me to you and to join this site. My parents were raised Christian and my mother had to attend so much church growing up that she never forced us to go.
I wish people would stop pushing their beliefs down my throat. If the roles were reversed and I started pushing my beliefs on them, I'd lose friends rapidly.
Thanks for having me. I'm 34 and like Jeeps, my friends (Christian, Atheist or otherwise), red wine and DNA. <3

Hi Kat and welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your son. I hope you post more on this site and that you feel as comfortable as all the new members here are encouraged to feel.
She is a girl. :) Thank you for having me.
I know. :) Don't sweat it.
Welcome, I hope you have fun here. You should invite your children here too, if they're old enough they might like it as well.
And a little tip, when you want to reply to a specific post, just try the "Reply" link directly in that post. That way it's easier to follow who you're answering to :)
Hey Kat - welcome aboard. I've always been atheist, I also have a daughter (and son) and I like red wine, too - kk
Welcome Kat. :)
I'm with you about people not attempting to fill my brain with their wackjob beliefs. But for me it goes the same for vegetarians, vegans, Zeitgeist movie fans, people devoted to oddball miracle cures, conspiracy theorists, and so on.
What about people who are part of the vegan conspiracy to foist homeopathy on us all?
Welcome Kat. If you haven't actually been goaded into throwing things at those prayer offering people, then you probably should be nominated for an atheist sainthood.
Hey and welcome.
Hope you and your family is well (you hopefully know what I mean), despite the hardships you go through
Welcome Kat and have fun while around here
Welcome Kat - I'm glad you're here, but sorry for the reason. What is the status of your eldest, if it doesn't make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
She has Juvenile Batten Disease, age 12 with a life expectancy of late teens to early 20's. She has gone completely blind and is currently losing her brain cells (aka the abilities to walk, talk, eat and think). It sucks but acceptance has allowed me to move on with our lives and give my children (including and especially her) some really badass memories. :)
