Odds & Ends
by exercisebeforeknitting
Yes, there's always more baby $#&* around here. I've been told I'm nesting. I'm not – you should see my house. In fact, I am really just trying to make up for the 9 months during which I did no knitting for this baby. I only have a few weeks to catch up! So here goes…
The top one is Rowan All Seasons Cotton, the bottom is Lion Brand Cotton Ease. Both are too big for a newborn's head. Needless to say, this was part of my stash reduction binge last week when Aaron was out of town. I made a few more but sent them to my Secret Pal for her charity knitting organization so no pictures of those.
I have about 12″ done and I would like the blanket to be about 30″ long. It is knit in softball cotton so I know it will shrink up a little upon washing. I have a huge cone of this yarn and my well-intentioned stash reducing idea at the time was to knit up the entire cone and then machine wash it. Yes, the blanket would shrink up but if it were knit extra long and then pre-shrunk, it could actually be a useful blanket since it wouldn't need to be hand washed. Well, in practice, I've discovered that this is a giant cone and seed stitch is really dull. If I had t.v., this would be a great t.v. project. I need to crash at a t.v.-watching friend's house for a few days to get this puppy done!!!
In any case, I am working a few rows every day with the hope that I'll be able to finish it before my 100th birthday.
Finally, I will leave you with pictures of the wonderful baby sweater and blankets that the women from my knitting group gave me last weekend. As it turns out, they know how incapable I am of knitting baby blankets so they made two for me! And one amazingly constructed baby sweater from an Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern.

Actor Gary Coleman's estranged parents said the ex-child star's widow and hospital officials have kept them out of the loop with details of Coleman's sudden and shocking death -- and are demanding answers.
Before the "Diff'rent Strokes" actor was taken off of life support last week, parents Sue and Willie Coleman had not spoken to the ex-child star in over ten years, People reported.
"We're not pointing fingers at anyone, but we need to know exactly what happened," Sue Coleman, 67, told People. "We're not angry. We're just concerned. Did our son fall down the stairs? Did he fall in the bathtub? We need to have some closure on our son's life."
U.S. & World
In 1989, Coleman accused his parents and his business manager of swindling him out of his acting earnings in a lawsuit that won him $1.3 million. His parents claimed their working class lifestyle as proof of their innocence.
The couple told People they have received no more information about the events leading up to their son's death other than what has been reported by the news media.
A spokesman from the hospital where Coleman received treatment and later died has said only that an "accident" occurred at the actor's home in Santaquin, Utah, resulting in an intracranial hemorrhage.
Hospital officials told People the official cause of death is under investigation and they are with withholding further details at the request of Coleman's wife, 24-year-old Shannon Price.
Coleman's parents said they have tried many times to reach Price since he entered the hospital. Their efforts to find out about their son's condition from his wife have been met with silence, they said.
"We respect the relationship our son had with Shannon," Sue Coleman told People. "When we found out he got married, we thought, 'Well, at least he has someone in his life who he cares about and who cares about him.' We were happy about that. But it's frustrating that we haven't heard from the Price family. But it's possible they didn't even know we existed. Gary may have told her that he didn't have any family."

Literacy in Ireland
In the past literacy was considered to be the ability to read and write. Today the meaning of literacy has changed to reflect changes in society and the skills needed by individuals to participate fully in society. It involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, numeracy and using everyday technology to communicate and handle information.

Swish: Semantic Web Inference Scripting in Haskell
This program is a simple skeleton for constructing Semantic Web [1] inference tools in Haskell, using the RDF graph and several RDF parsers (at present Notation 3 and NTriples).
It might be viewed as a kind of embroyonic CWM [2] in Haskell, except that the intent is that Haskell will be used as a primary language for defining inferences. As such, Swish is an open-ended toolkit for constructing new special-purpose Semantic Web applications rather than a closed, self-contained general-purpose SW application. As such, it is part of another experiment along the lines described in [3].
The script format used by Swish is described in Swish.RDF.SwishScript.
Users wishing to process RDF data directly may prefer to look at the following modules; Swish.RDF, Swish.RDF.TurtleParser, Swish.RDF.N3Parser, Swish.RDF.N3Formatter, Swish.RDF.NTParser and Swish.RDF.NTFormatter.

Meyer duels Red Sox prospect into seventh
Twins' upcoming arm strikes out 11 over 6 2/3 scoreless innings
In a showdown of pitchers ranked on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list that lived up to its billing, Alex Meyer (No. 27) outdueled Allen Webster (No. 44) on Wednesday night. But once Meyer was out of the game for Triple-A Rochester, Pawtucket came back for a 3-1 victory.
Coming off his worst start of the young season, Meyer was at his best Wednesday. The Twins' No. 3 prospect matched his career high with 11 strikeouts in 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He walked three batters and allowed three hits.
Meyer is at his best when he uses his power sinker and height to get batters to beat the ball into the ground. He has not done a great job of that this season and entered the night with a rate of 0.71 ground balls to fly balls. But Wednesday he was able to reverse that trend, creating six ground-ball outs to two flyouts.
While Meyer was superb, Webster nearly matched him. The No. 3 Red Sox prospect allowed just one run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five batters and walked one.
Both starters were out of the game by the time it was decided in the eighth inning. Third baseman Garin Cecchini, the No. 5-rated Red Sox prospect and No. 55 overall prospect, gave Pawtucket the lead with a pinch-hit, two-run double and then came around to score an insurance run.

Choosing Glasses and Sunglasses
Years ago, glass was the only option available for lenses, but today a wide range of lens materials are available to match all lifestyles. In fact, less than six percent of glasses sold today are made of actual glass. Lens material selection will depend on teens' level of activity, comfort, vision needs and the recommendation of their eye care provider. Explore the different options below:
Benefits: Varied materials; thin, durable lens
Composite lenses incorporate polycarbonate, Trivex®, and other ophthalmic materials.
Designed to accommodate most eyeglass wearers, lightweight composite lenses are compatible with most protective treatments, including no-glare, photochromic and scratch-resistant coatings.
Trivex® lenses are virtually weightless—an attractive quality for those who wear glasses all day long. They are similar to polycarbonate varieties in durability, but outperform the competition when it comes to clarity. They also block UVA and UVB rays, and hold up to abrasives, such as household cleaners.
Standard Plastic
Benefits: Lightweight, impact resistant, widely prescribed
Plastic lenses are much lighter than glass lenses and widely prescribed for their comfort, durability, and impact resistance. Many factors contribute to their popularity, including affordability, safety, and a myriad of design options.
A scratch-resistant coating can be applied to prevent unwanted scuffs and marks.
Mid-Index Plastic
Benefits: Light, slim; compatible with most treatments
Mid-index lenses are slimmer and lighter than standard plastic types. A variety of protective treatments can also be applied, including photochromic and no-glare coatings.
Slightly stronger prescriptions for farsightedness typically require a thicker lens. Mid-index lenses minimize thickness in these prescriptions and are generally more affordable than high-index plastic materials.
High-Index Plastic
Benefits: Thinner, lightweight lens for stronger prescriptions
Eyeglass wearers are no longer limited to thick, heavy glasses. High-index plastic lenses are slim and sleek, providing an alternative option for strong prescriptions.
High-index lenses are typically more expensive than standard plastic and mid-index varieties, but offer a wider choice of frames for people with stronger prescriptions, since the lenses are not bulky. Wearers benefit from a crisp, clear field of vision and comfort, even during prolonged use. When treated with a no-glare coating, high-index lenses sharpen sight considerably—especially at night.
Benefits: No-distortion, shatterproof lens for kids, active adults
Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard plastic varieties, and also much more durable. Polycarbonate is ideal for strong prescriptions because it corrects vision without adding thickness, which can distort the wearer's appearance. Best of all, polycarbonate lenses are virtually unbreakable, making them a great choice for children and active adults.
High-Definition (HD)
Benefits: Digitally customized lenses for all prescriptions
HD, or digital lenses as they are also referred to, have been described as the most important improvement in prescription eyewear in the last 100 years. The improvement wearers see in moving from traditional lenses to digital lenses has been compared to the difference in using an old, analog television compared to a new high-definition television, or an early cell phone to today's digital smart phones. A recent study by the University of California at Berkeley confirmed consumer preference for HD lenses over conventional progressive lenses, in part because they reported being able to adapt faster to using the lenses and a wider field of vision when viewing objects nearby.
Unlike traditional lenses, HD lenses are manufactured using digital computer technology and diamond-cutting tools that allow the lenses' surface to be customized to an individual's eyes. High-definition lenses can deliver this unprecedented level of customized vision correction because the lenses are engineered based on a digital scan of the eyes. The resulting, customized vision correction improves unique vision problem areas and providers wearers with superior clarity, and sharper, brighter eyesight, whether they are nearsighted, farsighted, or have a mild astigmatism. The lenses are also thin and light, making them ideal for long wear, even with the strongest prescriptions. HD lenses are most common in progressive lenses, but they can also be made for single vision glasses. Most teens do not need HD glasses, as they are usually for progressives, but premium glasses can be made after a specialized eye exam.
Helping to further improve the lenses are various lens materials, treatments, and tints that can provide protection when playing sports, or enable eyes to experience more natural vision at all distances. This new technology also results in lenses that are smudge- and water-resistant, and that virtually eliminate glare.

Well this looks great, definately got my download... what (in my opinion) is the best free antivirus, is releasing a firewall too... If you wish to try it out then then the beta version is available for download from here http://www.grisoft.com/doc/avgplusfw/lng/us/tpl/tpl01 don't think there is much more to say... everything seems to be covered below
Taken from http://www.grisoft.com/doc/191/lng/us/tpl/tpl01
New AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall will ensure your privacy and protect your data from abuse.
We had a look at this new version and we can say that already the beta version is fully functional. We can label the AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall already as a successful security system, not only against viruses but also against hackers. wrote Mr. Jakub Dvořák, the author of the contribution in iDnes magazine.
Ideal pair (perfect couple)
The developer, Grisoft, is fully aware that computer threats does not represent only viruses but also worms. More and more users realize the need to defend themselves from hackers and various attacks coming through the network. Computers that are not protected by a firewall are at risk that its data might be stolen by unauthorized persons. These computers are easier targets for data thieves. Combined solutions, those which include anti-virus and also firewall protection, offer better protection.
Until now, Grisoft offered anti-virus protection only. With the Firewall component, the software also checks the communication between the computer and internet or intranet. The main features of the AVG plus Firewall product are protection against unauthorized access to your computer from Internet sources, automatic AVG Firewall rules settings with configuration guide help (manual setting as an advanced option is also available), and easy control and automatic updates. The product is aimed to Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP operation systems.
Easy Installation
During the AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall installation, it is necessary to confirm the license number that is automatically inserted. The license number of the beta version is valid until June 15, 2005. In case you already have an AVG product installed, you must enter the new license number manually otherwise you will not be offered to install the firewall. The beta version license number can be found at the Grisoft web site. If you use firewall integrated in Windows XP, you will be notified that the installation will turn it off. Grisoft recommends switching off any other firewall product being currently used. After the installation, it is necessary to restart your computer.
First configuration of the firewall
In the first stage, the system learns of applications currently installed on your PC. The predefined mode differs from the manual one only in the possibility to choose which disks needs to be scanned. You cannot choose files or folders only.
Based on the explored disk content the guide offers you a list of system applications and protocols of your PC. For the selected items of the list, a new rule will be created. The rule will define a way for the application to communicate over the network. If you are not sure what services you should create the rules for, please continue. The guide will choose the ones that are necessary. Or, you can define your own list according to the service name and its description. We recommend choosing and keeping just the services you really use.
Config Int
AVG Firewall Configuration Interface
As a next step, you should define which application needs to access the network. The list is predefined again. It includes applications that AVG knows and considers them as harmless and even necessary for communication over the network.
When clicking on Next and then Finish, the settings will be submitted and the system will automatically restart.
Which applications should communicate over the network and which should not?
In case you did not uninstall AVG, after the restart a new window is displayed. You are lead through the final phase of the product setting in your system (you should not forget to update your data).
Some users may be surprised that some previously working applications are not required to work now. This is what happens when you try it immediately. But as you launch these applications, the AVG Firewall window opens and informs you that the application is trying to communicate within the network. You are asked whether to permit that communication. If you authorize it and do not want the firewall to ask you for permission again next time, you will have to confirm this choice as a rule. When you select Show details, you receive more details about the application. Information such as the address that would like to communicate with your computer, its connection type or direction are displayed.
Advanced configuration of the firewall
The AVG Firewall is accessible as a component of the AVG Control Center. By the firewall option, there are three buttons available. The first one can immediately disable PC communication with the network. The second is for AVG Firewall configuration and the third one shows,the state of the AVG Firewall. The most important settings are under the second button, as the rules are configured here. The rules are specified in a detailed way. For every application, it is possible to set exactly how to communicate over the network and which protocols to use. This will be surely appreciated by system administrators.
Control Center
AVG Control Center - access to the main AVG components, including AVG Firewall
Event Logging might also be very helpful, which records AVG Firewall events. It displays transparently which applications were permitted and which were denied.
What is the new AVG actually like?
Even though the product is still in beta, we can already speak of this security system as maximum protection against viruses and also from hackers. The integrated Firewall component should be maximally easy to handle, being suitable for users who do not understand or do not want to understand the processes of communication between their computer and the network. This is mainly accomplished with the help of a rules guide, but some users might still have doubts when deciding whether a communication is desirable or not. Not even talking about opening a certain port, where the application communicates. Users that are not very computer savvy usually rashly enable communication, which results in practical dysfunction of the firewall. It might be useful to create a list of the most common and safe applications but this is a problem of all personal firewalls, not only AVG Firewall. It would also be very beneficial to provide users with documentation.
In case you are an AVG satisfied user, than the AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall could be interesting to you. The only question still is the license policy of the new product
The translation of an article released on 28. April, 2005 was approved by its author Jakub Dvořák.

by Rachael Boothroyd, Venezuela Analysis
In a cabinet meeting with his top ministers on Saturday, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez strongly criticised his political team for failing to show commitment to the participatory democratic model currently being proposed by his government and urged them to undertake serious "self-criticism".
The meeting was the first cabinet meeting to have taken place since the Venezuelan national elections were held on 7 October, in which Chavez won a third presidential term with over 54% of the vote.
During the televised meeting, Chavez made many criticisms of his party, especially with regards to the construction of the country's communes, which group together communal councils in a given region. Continue reading

There are dueling "first looks" of DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover at MTV and Just Jared, and while the gossip monger has more photos, the former music channel has the former G-Man on a bicycle.
"J. Edgar" is being directed by Clint Eastwood, with a script by Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"), and co-stars Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, the man many believe was not just Hoover's right-hand man, but his BF as well. Also on board are Naomi Watts, Judi Dench, Josh Lucas, and Ed Westwick.
We were among those who were disappointed last year by the reports that the script Black, himself a homosexual, had written didn't address rumors about Hoover's sexuality. Because even though Hoover's true inclinations are impossible to know at this point, there's no getting around the fact that the men lived, worked and vacationed together for decades without ever marrying.
U.S. & World
But in an interview with AfterElton published last week (and spotted by The Playlist), Black laid those concerns to rest.
"To think that somehow you're going to a make a movie about somebody like J. Edgar and you're not going to learn what's in his heart, that's just not going to happen in a script that I write," said Black. "(The notion that Hoover's possible homosexuality isn't addressed) is unfounded."
As much as we hated Eastwood's "Hereafter," we are very much looking forward to this one arriving in 2012.

I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income, and having difficulty justifying your charges. By chance, can you offer financial leanency for low income members?As I have said before, I don't make this stuff up. (I did not correct the spelling either). Now here is the context. This is FamilySearch.org a completely free program. Nothing at all in the post said anything about charging for FamilySearch.org or any of the other FamilySearch programs. Did this person think they were talking to Ancestry.com? Even if the site were a subscription site, why would an online website used overwhelmingly by seniors lower the cost to it major customers? Why does this comment appear on a free website?
After reading that comment, I was very interested is reading more. Then I found this one:
I dont know how to do all the research who can i ask to help me learn more.In the post above, Dennis Brimhall says the following:
I dont have a problem with filling names in on the program.
It is interesting that the person asking for help is apparently a Family History Consultant in a Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I suppose he could start with the free online Consultant Training.
- Before we make a change, we often ask hundreds of volunteer FamilySearch patrons to test a new process or a new product. These are everyday patrons like you who are very good at telling us what works and what doesn't work. These folks are very good at helping us work off the rough edges before we introduce a change to the general public.
- We have several newsletters and a FamilySearch blog to help announce changes and provide details of what those changes mean. These announcement provide useful information and links to online training.
- FamilySearch has dozens of professionally trained instructional developers who create hundreds of excellent videos, online classes, printable paper products, and other products to help you learn everything you need to know to get the most out of your FamilySearch experience.
- We also have an extensive networks of thousands of support people who provide one-on-one help where needed. Many of them are volunteers located throughout the world to help people in their local areas.
- Anyone using FamilySearch can visit the online help center and discover an amazing selection of useful classes, videos and other help.
- A volunteer named Leland Moon has created dozens of quick, easy-to-use videos to help demonstrate many popular FamilySearch features. Each video is only a few minutes long and is easy to follow.
This next comment was even more interesting. It concerns the International Genealogical Index, which is very much alive and easily searched right now on FamilySearch.org in the Historical Record Collections.
I think one change threw the baby out with the bath water – discontinuing ALL of the IGI. Many entries were of extracted records, years of hard work by your volunteers. It was much easier to find family members than it is now online. I really miss it.Mind you, these comments are on a blog post for FamilySearch.org. Do these people ever think to look at the website? Or even read the blog post?
Here is another comment that is really thought provoking at various levels. I have written about this many times, but it looks like I need another round of discussion:
Family search has been the most trusted site I use , but could you please explain the rationale for allowing people to alter what another has carefully researched and documented on your Family Tree?
I am happy to have my tree public, would gladly answer queries, even discuss evidence and proofs with someone….but I will not go to all the work or load thirty years of research to have someone change my research!
I've listened to the arguments from your staff. Sorry, makes no sense. And is putting you more in the Ancestry.com mode with their myriad of copied and completed unsourced trees put forth as "research."What do you think the chances are that anyone making such comments has ever read one of my blog posts? My last question is pretty simple: What will happen to this last commentator's thirty years of research when he dies?
Here is the last comment for today. I must say Dennis Brimhall should write more blog posts. He certainly gives me a lot to write about.
To be honest, FamilySearch has changed so much that I no longer use it anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Hope you can gain enough new users in your expanded target groups to make up for the ones you've lost.Where do these people come from?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some chief financial officers blitzing the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to lobby for low dividend tax rates suggested they might be able to stomach a small increase to pre-empt a huge jump due to kick in at year's end if Congress does not act.
Finance chiefs from the biggest U.S. power companies - including Duke Energy Corp and Southern Co - were in Washington to meet top lawmakers looking for ways to avert a $600 billion "fiscal cliff" of taxes and spending cuts.
Without action from Congress, the tax rate on dividends will rise to the ordinary income tax rate, as high as 39.6 percent for the wealthiest Americans. Dividends are now taxed at 15 percent for the top four tax brackets and zero at the bottom.
Five energy company CFOs told Reuters they were lobbying for the lowest dividend rate possible but stressed parity with taxes on capital gains and the need for lawmakers to compromise to avoid going over the fiscal cliff.
"We would be supportive of some movement in the rate," said Art Beattie, chief financial officer of Southern, the second-biggest power company by market value.
His biggest concern was that the tax on dividends not be delinked from the tax on capital gains.
Capital gains are now taxed at 15 percent - the same rate as for dividends. If Congress fails to act, the capital gains rate will rise to 20 percent, making it much lower than the top, 39.6 percent rate for dividends.
Beattie, who with the other CFOs, was due to make the case to leaders in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, said raising dividend taxes above capital gains discriminates against companies like Southern.
"If you delink them you are penalizing dividend-paying companies as opposed to companies like Apple Inc, which is a growth company and doesn't pay out much in dividends," Beattie told Reuters.
Martin Lyons, CFO of Ameren Corp, an electric energy provider in the middle western part of the United States, said any increase in the tax rate would be detrimental to his company's stock price and cost of capital.
"To the extent that there needs to be some increase - that is where the parity becomes very important to us," he said.
President Barack Obama, in his most recent budget, has proposed raising dividend taxes back to ordinary income tax rates, but many Washington insiders believe Democrats will settle on a rate of 20 percent if a deal is struck. Republicans generally want the rate to remain at 15 percent.
All five energy companies CFOs who spoke with Reuters, including those from Public Service Enterprise Group Inc, Duke and Pinnacle West Capital Corp, said they were not considering declaring special dividends ahead of potential tax increases, in contrast to such big companies as Costco Wholesale Corp and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
"They (investors) are not investing in Duke to get a dividend in the fourth quarter. We are part of the income base of people who own our stock," said Lynn Good, the CFO of Duke, the biggest electric power company in the United States.
In 2003, President George W. Bush and Congress cut taxes on capital gains and dividends, which mostly affect high-income taxpayers. These cuts are set to expire at the end of 2012.
In addition, a new, 3.8 percent investment tax on households making more than $250,000 a year - part of Obama's healthcare law - kicks in next year.
Other big dividend-paying companies, including Altria Group Inc, AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, are among those pressing lawmakers to avoid a tax increase, with executives and surrogates making frequent visits to Capitol Hill.
The visits come amid a separate blitz of CEOs meeting with lawmakers, including leaders of Aetna Inc and Honeywell International Inc, as the business community steps up its pressure on Congress to forge a deal.

Anna Scholz & Madison Plus: A Night to Remember
During our trip to New York last month to show the collection, our friends Erica and Aimee from the Madison Plus blog, helped Darren and me to organise a customer, stockist and blogger event. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to meet and reunite with customers, shop owners and bloggers, who are all so vital to the fashion industry.
We sipped some bubbly, caught up on the gossip and tried on lots of clothes! It was great to see so many beautiful women in different shapes, sizes and ages in our dresses.
The gorgeous Nikki Gomez won our raffle and chose our cool stretch tailoring black zip dress as her prize.
Jessica Svoboda offered her fabulous jeans and fellow designer Monif C stopped by too.
Our stockists, Jaclyn from Voluptuous Vixen, Liz from Fresh Ayer and Laura from Lola & Gigi showed their support and struck a few poses. Everyone really brought the Spring-Summer 2011 collection to life!

First let's talk about the book. If you aren't familiar with the format of the first book, which is packed with oodles of fun and simple projects you can make with one yard of fabric, this one is similar. Here's what you'll find:
The book is divided in sections by fabric type: lightweight cottons, quilting-weight cottons, home dec fabrics, flannel, woven pile fabrics, coated fabrics, fleece, knits, and wool. There are oodles of projects for each fabric type!
There is also a helpful glossary at the back of the book that will go over all the different terms you might come across during your reading. Even experienced sewists might find this to be a helpful refresher when in the middle of a project!
Now I just have to share my excitement!
There are a few bloggy friends/acquaintances who have projects featured in the book as well, including Anna from Noodlehead:

When I first went vegan back in 2006, I wasn't a dietitian and hadn't even thought about getting my master's in nutrition. So I was pretty clueless on the nutrition aspects of veganism. At that point I had been a vegetarian for over 4 years so I knew that getting enough protein wasn't an issue. To be honest, I didn't think much about where I would get my calcium, iron and B12. And to be honest, I still don't - because they are incredibly easy to get in a vegan diet. There are 3 books that I think are essential in teaching the lay person every thing you need to know about vegan nutrition for all stages of life (from pregnancy, to lactation, infancy, and childhood to adulthood) and give you a brief crash-course in the importance of a vegan lifestyle.
The second book you must own is Diet For A New America: How Food Choices Affect Your Health, Your Happiness and the Future of Life on Earth by John Robbins. 2012 marked the 25th anniversary of the original printing of this groundbreaking book that will force you to raise your consciousnesses and awareness of the food you eat. Robbins solidifies the link between factory farming and animal cruelty with disease and the current state of our environment. Just in case you aren't familiar with Robbins you might be familiar with his family. The Robbin's in his name is none other than that of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire. Robbins has rebuffed the family business to advocate for a healthy, plant-based, vegan diet and lifestyle and spells out with stunning clarity the importance a vegan diet has not only on your health, but the health of the planet and the health of society at large. If you ever needed a top 10 list of reasons to go vegan and stay vegan then this book is for you! A book that is an honorable mention is Robbins The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World which uncovers the dangers of many of today's most popular foods and the impact it has on our health.
Finally, the third must-have book in your collection is the first book on vegan nutrition I ever read Becoming Vegan: The Complete Guide to Adopting A Healthy Plant-Based Diet by Brenda Davis RD and Vesanto Melina MS, RD. Out of any book in my collection (and I have literally thousands of books in my home), this book is the most highlighted and tabbed book I own. This book opened me up to the world of vegan nutrition and gave me a passion for it. As a new vegan I found myself bombarded with questions about nutrition that I just wasn't prepared to answer. How was I supposed to know every plant-based source of calcium, iron and protein? I knew that major organizations like the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics endorsed a vegan diet for all stages of life and I could rattle that sentence off with ease but I didn't know the science behind why a vegan diet was so healthy and great for every stage of life, let-alone have the ability to regurgitate that information to a skeptical omnivore and sound intelligent. This book gave me all the tools I needed. The authors advice is practical, easy to follow and well-presented. One great feature I love about the book too is that it shows you what a poorly planned vegan diet looks like versus a well-planned diet. We also know that vegan living off of oreos and veggie burgers, if you happen to be that vegan then this is an essential book for you!
There you have it. The three essential, can' live without, need in your life from here to eternity books you should own. Even if you're a tried and true, long time vegan these books are great resources to get your brushed up on the basics that we old seasoned vegans tend to take for granted in this every increasing vegan friendly world. Happy Reading!

"This may be the best road trip you'll ever take—full of strange vision, hilarious detours, and sudden beauty in unlikely places." –Burkhard Bilger, staff writer at The New Yorker
"'The ancient boyhood impulse to Get In,' as Hampton Sides puts it, fuels this rollicking book. An entertaining investigative trek through parts both familiar and strange." –Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead
"Hampton Sides's America is a flabbergasting place. Funny but never at the expense of his subjects, wise but not wiseass, Sides seeks out decidedly non-average Americans who dig themselves deep into things." –Mary Roach, author of Stiff
"This is a dream adventure you'll likely never get; fortunately, Sides has been there. Wry, exuberant, and always compassionate, Americana is pure pleasure." –Doug Stanton, author of In Harm's Way
"Inside this riveting collection we find a country of hotly competing tribes encamped on the headlands of a still undefinable frontier. These incisive and often humorous stores comprise the vanguard of a new literature about America and its vast complexities." –Michael Paterniti, author of Driving Mr. Albert

A noteworthy initiative by a major university has the potential to cut costs dramatically for a student's freshman year of college.
Arizona State University, one of the nation's largest universities, is joining with edX, a nonprofit online venture founded by M.I.T. and Harvard, to offer an online freshman year that will be available worldwide with no admissions process and full university credit.
In the new Global Freshman Academy, each credit will cost $200, but students will not have to pay until they pass the courses, which will be offered on the edX platform as MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses.
"Leave your G.P.A., your SATs, your recommendations at home," said Anant Agarwal, the chief executive of edX. "If you have the will to learn, just bring your Internet connection and yourself, and you can get a year of college credit."
Students can complete their freshman year for "less than $6,000".
The new program will offer 12 courses — eight make up a freshman year — created by Arizona State professors. It will take an unlimited number of students. Neither Mr. Agarwal nor Mr. Crow would predict how many might enroll this year.
The only upfront cost will be $45 a course for an identity-verified certificate. Altogether, eight courses and a year of credit will cost less than $6,000.
Two common questions about online courses are addressed by this new venture.
Wednesday's announcement, Agarwal said, is edX's response to the two major points of criticism that have dogged MOOCs: that the completion rates are too low, and that the courses mostly benefit learners who have already earned advanced degrees.
The expectation is that motivation for credit will spur completion rates, and freshman courses will not attract college graduates.
How much human involvement will be required?
… Freshman composition will probably be one of the last to launch. Right now, he said, the university is planning on having "actual people" grade however many thousands of student essays such a MOOC would produce.
Other issues remain, including the problem that Freshman Academy does not qualify for federal financial aid. The outcome for this new venture remains to be seen. If it is successful, it could serve as a model for many other universities.

Mod 5: Install a Variable Mid Control in Your TS9 or SD-1
Tools and Parts for This Mod
• Two 10k Ω 1/4-watt resistors
• .0068 μF capacitor
• .0047 μF capacitor
• .033 μF capacitor
• B100k Ω alpha single-gang 9 mm right-angle PC mount linear potentiometer from SmallBearElec.com
• Pot knob
• Three 3" pieces of wire
• 1/4" drill bit
• Marking utensil
• Ruler
Our final mod gives you control over the nasally mids that have long plagued the Tube Screamer and Super Overdrive. Be aware, though, that you'll lose quite a bit of volume with this mod due to insertion loss. To make up for this volume loss, I recommend you also either replace the original diodes with LEDs or wire the original diodes in series (neither of which is covered here).
Fig. 7: Reference schematic for the TS9 and SD-1 variable-mid-control mod.
1. TS9: Remove resistor R8.
SD-1: Remove resistor R7.
Photo 22 (left): Remove R8 in your Tube Screamer. Photo 23 (right): Remove R7 in your Super Overdrive.
2. Twist one leg from each of the two 10k Ω resistors together so that their bodies are almost touching.
3. Wrap one end of a 3" piece of wire around the connected resistor legs, solder the joint (see Photo 24), and put electrical tape or a heat-shrink tube around the joint (not shown).
Photo 24 (left): Twist together your 10k Ω resistors and one end of a jumper wire, then solder the joint. Photo 25 (right): Solder your .0068 µF cap to the 10k Ω resistors and attach a jumper to one of the resistors.
4. Twist the legs of your .0068 μF cap onto the long legs of the joined 10k Ω resistors and solder the joint, then twist the end of another 3" wire onto the long leg of one the 10k Ω resistors and solder that connection. See Photo 25.
5. TS9: Place the long leg of the
resistor that has the 3" jumper in
the hole from R8 closest to the
dot (pin 1) on the IC chip. Place
the other resistor's leg in the hole
vacated by R8. Solder the legs in
place. See Photo 26 and Photo
22, if necessary.
SD-1: Place the long leg of the resistor that has the 3" jumper in the vacated R7 hole that is closest to the IC chip. Place the other resistor's leg in the other vacant R7 hole. Solder the legs in place. See Photo 27.
Photo 26 (left): Install the 10k Ω resistor with the 3" jumper in your Tube Screamer. Photo 27 (right): Install the 10k Ω resistor with the 3" jumper in your Super Overdrive.
6. Solder your .033 μF cap to lug 1 of your B100k Ω pot, then solder the last piece of 3" wire to lug 2 of your pot, and then solder the .0047 μF cap to lug 3 of the pot. See Photo 28.
Photo 28 (left): Solder the .033 µF cap, a 3" wire, and the .0047 µF cap to the new pot. Photo 29 (right): Solder the wire from pot lug 2 to the diode near your Tube Screamer's power jack.
7. Solder the wire attached between the two 10k Ω resistors to the remaining leg of the .033 μF cap that's soldered to lug 1 of the pot.
8. Solder the remaining wire attached to the long leg of the 10k Ω resistor to the remaining leg of the .0047 μF cap that's soldered to lug 3 of the pot.
9. TS9: Solder the 3" wire connected to lug 2 of your pot to the leg opposite the stripe of the diode located right next to the power jack (see Photo 29). Test the pedal and be sure that your modifications worked.
Photo 30 (left): Solder the wire from pot lug 2 to the sleeve of your Super Overdrive's 1/4" output. Photo 31 (right): Measure and mark the drill hole for your TS9's new pot.
10. TS9: Measure 5-6 mm
(about 1/4") from the upwardly
angled part of the case and
draw a horizontal line from the
right side of the case to about
where the tone knob is.
SD-1: Measure 1 cm to the right or left of the edge of the 9V adapter jack on the front of the case. Draw a vertical line there.
11. TS9: Draw a vertical
line starting smack dab in the
middle of the volume pot's hole
until it intersects with the line
you just drew. This will be the
center of the hole for your new
pot (see Photo 31).
SD-1: Draw a horizontal line 1 cm above the bottom of the case until it intersects with the vertical line. This will be the center of the hole for your new pot (see Photo 32).
Photo 32 (left): Measure and mark the drill hole for your SD-1's new pot. Photo 33 (right): Make sure the pot lugs face the top of your Super Overdrive enclosure to avoid shorting the circuit.
12. Drill a 1/4"-diameter hole in the marked spots.
13. Wipe the lines off of the enclosure, secure the new pot, reassemble the pedal, and enjoy your new variable-mid control! Note: On the SD-1, be sure to install your pot so that the lugs face the top of the case so they don't get grounded to the back plate (see Photo 33).

Proper road-going muscle cars these days have all their bases covered. They can go, turn, and even stop like our late-model favorites. These multipurpose sleds have obtained the appropriate stance through various suspension goodies, and extra grip and decreased stopping distances with wider rubber and an aftermarket brake system. They're powered through stout mills and their transmissions are built, with the ability to take a direct hit from a tank shell. So what's left?
If you're paying attention, you've realized one vital component is missing from an all-purpose muscle car: a bulletproof rearend to take all the punishment. While your sled may have already come prepped with a posi unit from the factory, ours unfortunately did not. If you recall, our '72 Nova began its life as a straight-six, which we quickly ditched for a supercharged small-block and a complete suspension and big-brake kit from CPP. We sent it right to work, too, and participated in nearly every autocross event we could enter.
While '72-75 Novas offered gear ratios from 2.73 to 3.42:1, both with and without posi units, most came with open differential 2.73 or 3.08:1. We got the latter with a set of lazy 3.08:1 gears in our 8.5-inch rear. Leaving stoplights was more of a chore, and exiting turns induced excessive wheelspin from only one tire. With this sort of limitation, remaining competitive was difficult. Besides, what's the point of all that power with no means of laying it down?
Almost every component of the car can become a powerful tool, including the rearend. With power equally distributed at the rear tires, drivers can apply some extra throttle to induce the rear to kick out a bit, point the nose in the intended direction, and go. Plus, for drag-happy drivers, the benefit of having both tires receive traction is that they can produce better launches and quicker times. For us, this was a no-brainer and we researched Moser Engineering's website to find everything we needed to revive our rearend. This included new 30-spine axles, a 3.73:1 ring-and-pinion, an Eaton posi unit, a performance cover, and even all the bearings, seals, and setup kit. We did all this and still salvaged our factory 10-bolt to house it all.
Before the rearend build could begin, we first had to get the factory member out of the Nova. From there, we stripped it down to its most basic form by removing the rear brakes, lines, and sway bar. Then, we sent it to the rearend experts at Manny's Hardcore Performance (MHP) in Colton, California. All said and done, it took a couple of hours for the build, and we left with a serious piece of equipment for our Nova project.
Forged C-Clip Sticks
Moser offers forged steel street axles for both the 10- and 12-bolt rearends. They are made from the same alloy as the race axles and are approximately 25-30 percent stronger than OEM (depending on spline count). These axles are nontapered, with hardened bearing seats and machined C-clip grooves to fit OEM applications. Plus, they're available in any length up to 37 inches and can be shortened or resplined at a later time, should you choose to narrow your existing rearend. For our application, we ordered Moser's axles in the stock 29 1/2-inch length in a 30-spline configuration.
Detroit TrueTrac
The Detroit TrueTrac was the first helical gear (no clutches) differential ever introduced into the aftermarket as an Eaton brand. In short, the patented design of the parallel axis planetary helical gears provides a quiet, automatic splitting of torque. It performs like an open differential under normal driving conditions and automatically transfers torque to the wheel with better traction. This limited-slip system responds instantly to torque feedback, anytime, at any speed.
Geared For Go
Moser's gears are available for nearly any application and are CAD, CNC machined, and computer-control heat-treated to ensure the highest-quality product. Moser even offers a ring gear lightening program (add $100 to any set of gears) for serious racers to save precious rotation weight. The process involves machining a smooth radius on the outside of the gear and can save anywhere from 0.5 to 2.5 pounds. In our case, we ordered a set of Moser's street/strip gears with a 3.73:1 setup.
The Grab Bag
|3.73 ring-and-pinion
|Differential cover
|30-spline axles (291/2 length)
|245 (pair)
|Eaton TrueTrac
|Setup kit/axle bearings, seals
|100/30 (pair)
|Royal Purple
|75W90 rearend fluid
Road Report
Getting the rearend back in the Nova was a snap. We made sure to fill the rearend with 3 quarts of Synthetic Royal Purple 75W90 gear oil (for limited-slip gears) and put some miles on the gears before any competition. While at this year's Goodguys Del Mar event, we noticed the Nova's characteristics and personality have completely changed since our install of the Moser components; it's like driving a new car. Wasted power that used to be directed to one spinning tire is now equally split between two. This translates into faster times through the cones and makes more use of the available power. We can even have a little fun in the turns now by sliding out the back end with some extra throttle. Plus, burnouts have become a lot more interesting. CHP

The Longboat Key Club & Resort has agreed not to touch the guardhouse on Longboat Club Road as part of its $400 million renovation plan for Islandside.
But the road is still a point of contention.
The club dropped plans for the guardhouse after The Longboat Key Association, which owns and maintains the road, refused to sign off on the Islandside application.
But at a pre-application meeting between town staff and club officials held last month, Town Attorney David Persson questioned whether the club has the right to make minor changes to the road, including curb cuts and minor sidewalk modifications.
For more information, pick up a copy of the Thursday, May 7 Longboat Observer.

The New Zealand video game development industry grew by 46 per cent last year, boosted by the huge growth of smartphone and online gaming, according to a survey of developers.
Ninja Kiwi Games, one of the country's most successful game companies, was founded by two Western Springs College old boys - brothers Chris and Stephen Harris, who are based at Kumeu.
The business, known best for its internationally successful games Bloons and Bloons Tower defence (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), launched in December 2006.
It was driven by Stephen's determination to be a game developer after the geophysics graduate completed a game design course with the Auckland Media Design School.
Chris, an independent financial planner who was disillusioned with his industry, was happy to be his 50/50 partner.
In the early days, the games they developed were online puzzle games but then they came up with Bloons, a game which pits a monkey with a dart against a bunch of balloons.
"When Bloons launched, it really just exploded. Bloons began in April 2007, we put the game on our site and it got taken up early on the social network site, Digg."
In the first week it had 3 million plays and has now had 1.5 billion plays since its launch.
At the end of 2007, Bloons Tower defence was launched, another "huge success," says Chris.
It captured a different audience from Bloons, it was more boyish and appealed to strategy game players. The Bloons Tower defence series has had 750 million plays.
A crucial step in 2008 was an approach by Scottish development company Digital Goldfish to put Bloons on iPhone as an application. The Bloons app got to number two out of all the apps in the US.
"I think we have been a combination of lucky and clever," says Chris. Goldfish, which handles Bloons and Bloons Tower defence for android and iPhone, has eight to nine people dedicated to working on the Ninja Kiwi games.
Ninja Kiwis' turnover is in the sub-$10 million bracket.
"Somehow we seem to grow revenue by 50 to 70 per cent every year," says Chris.
The company's business model is revenue from its apps business, selling virtual currency and advertising revenue from the games and the website.
In December Ninja Kiwi launched its much-anticipated Bloons TD5.
"We have to hit it out of the park each time," says Chris.
Bloons TD5 was launched in conjunction with its new free site registration system which has attracted 600,000 registered users in the last two months.
"We will then build [the system] into all our future games to enable us to provide a number of useful benefits to our players such as safe storage of their save game data, access to special challenges and achievements and a personal profile page," says Chris.
Ninja Kiwi's 15 fulltime staff include six programmers and four artists, all New Zealanders.
Executive producer, American Scott Walker, has been a valuable addition since 2010. He came from EA (Electronic Arts) games, a billion dollar game company.
"Scott fills the gaps around us, he's brilliant," says Chris.
The staff include three close friends. "The strength of these relationships is one of the keys to our business," says Chris.

new (old) lens arrived!!Posted by Matt Grover at 10:12 am
HURRAH! the 50mm 1.8 Nikkor that I ordered off eBay has arrived! I ordered from Jesscollie Classic Cameras, who's now on my fave sellers list.
So what's next for this lens?? Well it should get some use in some upcoming photoshoots, at f1.8 it should be a nice portrait lens, and as with the other lenses, it'll hopefully get some use in the video world via a 35mm adapter later in the year.

Established, big companies in the outdoor sport business want to make a move towards a sustainable future. But there are several obstacles that slow this movement down. Sourcing of quality, eco-friendly material, research & development, necessary to come up with new innovative products from recycled or renewable resources, and developing new distribution channels and context-specific messaging are only a few factors that need to be understood. By now, it has become clear to many marketing managers, that "going green" does not necessarily create higher costs on the production side, but that it's actually possible to produce high-performance, eco-friendly products at approximately the same costs
as conventional ones. Quality is also no issue! Snowboards' or Skis' edges from recycled steel, impregnated wooden side walls or topsheets laminated with environmentally friendly glue and natural colors, 20.000mm recycled polyester garments in bright colors, recyclable zippers, etc. – all these product components are available in high quality at only slightly higher prices. Zimtstern's Dominik Fuß interviewed by ISPO in 2009: "We are already able to develop reasonably priced, eco-friendly products that don't need to cost more!
But the outdoor sports companies are still hesitant to change their entire product line to become 100% sustainable. Besides – it's no piece of cake. While smaller and more flexible "green" start-ups can focus on profitable niche-markets, changing the production process and marketing strategy, to offer such a portfolio within only few seasons, is next to impossible for the big global players. "I think, it's a state of mind, which needs to change in the whole company – once it's top of mind in everybody's head, many people come up with ideas and solutions. But this change does not happen over night." – Maritxu Darrigrand, Head of Sustainability at Roxy.
This philosophy needs to be established within entire companies in the coming years – but this will only work, if producers and retailers can trust consumer demand. (Most often, only top of the line products, often signature series of sponsored celebrity athletes, could demonstrate that, even at slightly higher costs, they still deliver an acceptable margin through price premiums.) Consumers like to claim their willingness to pay higher prices and often see themselves as conscious consumers, while the truth is, that price and other standard product attributes still influence the purchase decisions the most. And buying behavior is also affected by social norms and perceived obstacles. One of the main hypothesis of this project is that individuals with a strong outdoor sports background (surfing, climbing, snowboarding, etc.) have a stronger connection to nature and that this connection positively influences their decisions compared to other consumers.
This research project for the Department of Service and Technology Marketing of the Technical University of Munich, Germany, has been designed to understand those effects, identify problems and find solutions. The online-survey assesses the influences on end-consumers' purchasing behavior for environmentally friendly products in the outdoor sports segment.
Link to the survey: http://www.unipark.de/uc/eco-friendly-outdoor-products/
Thank you in advance, for participating in the study! It will take less than 20 mins. of your time and your input will help to make a difference!
The results of this study will reach the heads of sustainability, marketing managers and product developers in a lot of big, internationally operating outdoor sports companies.
Thanks to our sponsors Völkl Snowboards and O'Neill, there are some nice eco-friendly products up for grabs!!
Don't forget to check out the 7Sky GreenRoom and inform yourself about the BlueSign label.

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort�s new general manager wants to build on the resort�s �remarkable reputation.�
Mark Hodgdon, who started Sept. 4, came to Sandestin from Atlanta where he briefly worked as vice president of operations for Hospitality Staffing Solutions' southeast region at its corporate office.
Prior to his stint in Atlanta, Hodgdon worked as vice president of operations for Del Mar Development and Management in Los Cabos, Mexico, for 10 years. In all he has spent more than 30 years in the hotel business holding leadership positions at properties such as The Grand America Hotel, The Phoenician, The Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa, Loews Ventana Canyon Resort and the Grand Wailea Resort, Hotel & Spa. He holds a bachelor�s degree in hotel restaurant and travel administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was the school's soccer team's goalie.
When asked the question: "Who is Mark Hodgdon?" Hodgdon answers that he is someone who grew up with real values, cares about people, and those he provides service to. He said he values integrity and credibility and plans to provide that for owners and guests alike at Sandestin.
Hodgdon grew up in the Northeast and has lived in Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
"My grandfather owned a small inn in Concord, N.H., and I grew up working for him," he said. "I have worked in laundry, housekeeping, and in my late teen years as a steward, a server, and in the kitchen. I learned at the grassroots level how to create an ideal experience. Everything starts in the heart of the house and moves to the front of the house."
Although he has lived in locales such as Hawaii and Los Cabos, Hodgdon said he is pleased to be in "lovely" South Walton.
"My mom and sister are in Atlanta and my brother is in Charlotte. Most of my family is in the Southeast. I love places where there's sunshine, where it's warm and where there is a true sense of community. To be able to stay in the States and find this � I look at this as a long-term commitment and am very excited about the area's people, its quality of life and all it has to offer," he said.
Hodgdon is married and has a family that will be joining him here soon, he said. No house has been purchased yet, but he expects that to happen, with buying on Sandestin property a possibility.
As for his goals for Sandestin, Hodgdon feels the property continues to need to be positioned as premier resort in the area and in Florida by creating excitement in what it has to offer. He wants to bring more business to the resort and to the area and he wants the resort and its amenities to remain open to the local community.
"Sandestin has a remarkable reputation and I don't want that to change," he said.
As for changes at the resort, Hodgdon said he only sees enhancing the level of service provided, whether at the owners' club or for guests, although he says �repositioning� may be necessary to stay competitive.
He said he is open to receiving ideas for change from owners, guests, and customers to make their experience better.
"I don't think you can be successful in business without listening and responding. I welcome constructive criticism in how to make it better," he said.
"I expect to be highly visible and accessible to all, as well as involved in the community and to serve on a number of boards," said Hodgdon.
Hodgdon may be contacted via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The "Saxon-Bohemian Silver Mines Route" takes visitors on an exciting journey to unearth hidden treasures, make fascinating discoveries and experience living customs. The 275 km of the Saxon-Bohemian Silver Mines Route run like a silver band from Zwickau to Dresden through Annaberg-Buchholz to Ostrov in Bohemia.
The Saxon-Bohemian Silver Mines Route is Europe's largest open-air museum and welcomes its guests with the traditional miner's greeting of "Glück auf!", to bring them luck. Once the route taken by wagons carrying mine timber and silver, the route is now well-signposted and leads to many historical mining sites. It is also a good introduction to the Erzgebirge mountains.
A mining and cultural experience
More than 30 visitor mines, museums, sites showcasing living customs, hall churches and historic hill towns adorn the route like a string of pearls. Great inventors and scientists of the past such as the mining scientist Georgius Agricola, the organ maker Gottfried Silbermann or the mathematician Adam Ries were all active here.
Customs and heritage in the Erzgebirge mountains
The Erzgebirge mountains live up to their name (the German word "Erz" means "ore") and are associated with a by-gone era when the "silver rush" or "Berggeschrey" swept across the land. In the Erzgebirge mountains, eight centuries of mining heritage lives on in today's mining practices, traditions and craftsmanship, as well as in art, culture and religion. The hewer and the foreman, ceremonial clothing, miners' parades and many other festivals are just some of the customs still to be found here.
There is always something happening here
The many events held along the route give an insight into the miners' parades, Christmas traditions and cultural heritage of the region. Some of the arts and crafts commonly practiced in the Erzgebirge mountains are carving, lace making, pewter casting and making world-famous wooden Christmas decorations such as Christmas pyramids, nativity sets, nutcrackers, incense burners, candle arches, miners and angels of light.
A destination to be visited all year round
At over 1,600 workshops, you can watch the masters at work. In summer, the countryside around the Saxon-Bohemian Silver Mines Route is a riot of pretty colours and in winter, an enchanting Christmas wonderland with a hint of romance.

Think hard about the nontraditional ideas that you have been percolating. Speak up. There are others that may be thinking the same thing but don't have the same courage to say. You have more in common with the people you work with than you think. There is strength in numbers. Soul Affirmation: I let my friendships guide my way. Lucky Numbers: 6, 40, 41
Others need you. Be a great listener this week. Teach but don't preach. Family members need a vision of the big picture. That's easy for you to give but use charm to give it. Be a cheer-giver. Expect nothing in return. Soul Affirmation: When I give thanks for what I have, I lose all sense of what is missing Lucky Numbers: 4, 32, 35
It is amazing how a big hearted person like you can button down to the detailed work when you've got the big picture still projecting over and over in your mind. Both the big picture and the details are important to you this week. Concentrate on both at the same time. Soul Affirmation: Cooperation with others is the key to success for me this week. Lucky Numbers: 8, 10, 48
Love is always a learning experience but this week think back over past love affairs and be sensitive to the fact that there is a special truth you can discern. What you know about love can be used on someone rich and powerful this week. Matters of the heart and matters of the mind harmonize. Soul Affirmation: I exercise to lower tension this week. Lucky Numbers: 12, 46, 47
Thinking about what to do about your irritable lover? Make appointments that will create distance between you and those you are close to especially your sweetheart. Let anyone who wishes to fret be by his or herself. Spend time with yourself and find pleasant things to occupy your mind until this week passes. Soul Affirmation: I love pressure as a test of how much I can master. Lucky Numbers: 3, 26, 28
It's a good time for you to turn off the phone, but you may still have too much to do! Fortunately, your great energy midweek should help you make up for lost time, and you may end up even more organized than before (if that's possible)! A casual conversation this weekend turns into something much deeper and more meaningful than you would have expected, so draw it out and see where it goes. Soul Affirmation: You are feeling energized and organized! Lucky Numbers 13, 45, 57
Take some time off for family matters. Work has occupied too much of your attention. Family matters are not most in need of your attention. Your attention is most in need of a focus on the emotional attachments that family relationships involve. Soul Affirmation: The enjoyment of good food is high on my agenda this week. Lucky Numbers: 3, 8, 9
Use a more diplomatic approach when you when make constructive comments to others. Your candid attitude is appreciated but diplomacy will be the key to ironing out the wrinkles in a delicate situation. Your financial woes that have been preoccupying your mind will soon be over. Feel good about the progress you've already made. Soul Affirmation: True friendship is a mirror into which I look to see the beauty of my inner self. Lucky Numbers: 25, 39, 46
Self-pity is not your style. It saps your energy and makes it hard for you to rise above whatever it is that has been bothering you. Do the usual: consider the unfortunate situation that arises this week as a learning opportunity? Learn well and move out into a brighter psychological space. Soul Affirmation: With a positive spirit I co-create my week. Lucky Numbers: 18, 26, 31
It's time to let co-workers and bosses see your astounding ability to organize tasks and get a lot of things done with style and grace. You can dazzle colleagues this week because things will fall into place easily for you. Use your ease to do something important. Soul Affirmation: I become transparent. I let others see into my thoughts. Lucky Numbers: 7, 23, 48
Voice your desires to the universe this week! Articulate your thoughts through a song a poem a sonnet! You will cause a stir of stimulation and hope for those around you. Find a place of solace where you can meditate and be in harmony with your true self. Soul Affirmation: I remain adaptable so I can deal with changing circumstances. Lucky Numbers: 5, 13, 30
It's a great week to tell somebody you are close to that you love them. Saying it aloud gives you energy and of course your designated adoree will be delighted! Keep the big picture in mind this week and you'll feel completely buoyant! Soul Affirmation: Charm is my middle name this week. Lucky Numbers: 17, 24, 27
