In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient square-root and division free recursive QR (SDRQR) decomposition based successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver for space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM) transmit diversity schemes. The performance of the proposed SDRQR-SIC receiver is semi- analytically evaluated taking into account the effects of channel estimation errors and error propagation during SIC. In addition, performance and complexity comparisons are drawn with previously proposed approaches. These comparisons show an excellent performance-complexity tradeoff achieved by SDRQR-SIC over the previous solutions under various channel conditions.

Viewing a failover configuration in the SQL Failover Cluster Management tool, I can see via a succinct warning message that "The cluster network name is not online". Everything about the cluster checks out though. What can I do to debug this?
I don't have Active Directory setup on the same machine. Some point to this as a potential issue, but in my case, it is not.

L.A.'s Top 10 Raw Beef Dishes: Some Like It Cold
Few words have the power to simultaneously sour stomachs and whet appetites like the mention of raw meat. Indians abhor the idea. Ethiopians consider it their national dish. We once knew a Russian butcher who insisted a plate of raw bacon was the ultimate companion to a glass of vodka. Attitudes amongst American eaters, though, are decidedly more skeptical.
Yes, we've read The Jungle, we've seen Food, Inc. and we remember what our mothers told us about touching an unwashed cutting board. Still, there is something about eating raw beef so primally decadent, so unabashedly rich, that it makes ignoring the 'uncooked food' warning printed at the bottom of the menu well worth it. Hell, if Lady Gaga is wearing it, why shouldn't be eating it?
If you do decide to throw E. coli caution into the wind and sample some raw beef, Los Angeles may be the ultimate destination. Here is a round up of some of the city's more intriguing uncooked offerings (children, the elderly, and pregnant women be forewarned).

Reported accuracy of preoperative localization imaging for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) varies. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of ultrasound, sestamibi-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) as preoperative localization strategies.
A meta-analysis was performed of studies investigating the accuracy of ultrasound, sestamibi-SPECT, and 4D-CT for preoperative localization in pHPT. Electronic databases were systematically searched, and two independent reviewers reviewed results using specific criteria. Study quality was assessed using a validated measure for diagnostic imaging studies. Study heterogeneity and pooled results were calculated.
43 studies met criteria for inclusion, and data were available for extraction in 19 ultrasound, 9 sestamibi-SPECT, and 4 4D-CT studies. Ultrasound had pooled sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of 76.1% (95% CI 70.4–81.4%) and 93.2% (90.7–95.3%), respectively. Sestamibi-SPECT had pooled sensitivity and PPV of 78.9% (64–90.6%) and 90.7% (83.5–96.0%), respectively. Only two 4D-CT studies investigated patients undergoing initial parathyroidectomy. Results suggested sensitivity and PPV of 89.4% and 93.5%, respectively.
Ultrasound and sestamibi-SPECT are similar in ability to preoperatively localize abnormal parathyroid glands in pHPT. Accuracy may be improved with 4D-CT; however, further investigation is required. Choice of preoperative imaging strategy depends on numerous patient, institutional, and economic factors of which the surgeon must be aware.

All four seasons in one day! It's why I call this the Golden Zone out at this farm.

A Solar Power Record: 64.6 KWH!
Possibly the most beautiful day ever spent at the farm -- mostly blue sky, bright sun, breezy, never above 64 degrees, and I adjusted and washed the array (pollen layer) for the highest recorded Solar PV electricity output ever -- 64.6 KWH.

Tornado & Hail!
Started to take a nap on my front porch, king-sized hanging bed when the sky darkened
and the wind picked up -- just like that. Within 90 second the tornado hit. Tore up and knocked over
some trees nearby, I lost a couple of pines. Neighbors got hit worse. Grateful my house, with solar
array, was spared. Hail the size of marbles "machine-gunned" my house, shattering my outside
security lights. Shot some photos while it was happening, went up to check out the solar array
as soon as it stopped. No damage to the panels -- good publicity for MAGE, the panels' manufacturer. Took some
shots of the inverters in "off" mode, even though the sun had returned, because the utility's power
went down and the inverters are programmed to stay off -- to protect the utility line workers from any
solar array voltage back-fed into the grid while they're working on it.

"From Green to Brown"
This was a gorgeous day at the farm, and perhaps our last day when all that's green suddenly transitions to brown, for Fall. It was also Daylight Savings Time weekend, so we relished the extra hour in cool 60 degree, bright sunny day weather. If only we could have had the week off; we don't get many days like this one.
Oct 30, 2010
50 KWH output!
Except for a short run of grounding wire (to be completed tomorrow) and screwing down the gangplank boards shown on our brand new "solar gangplank" (needed to get up there and adjust the solar panels' tilt 4 times a year), we completed our 10KW system on a bright, sunny, Autumn weekend and reaped a record 50 KWH in one day (Sat, 10/2/10), followed by 46.52 the next (Sunday). In 3 years this building's power bills have been as low as 37 KWH and as high as 356 KWH. So in one day its entire (lowest) power bill was covered, and its highest would take only seven such days. All monthly excess power gets fed into the grid so that the power company issues a check at the end of the year. Special thanks to all my friends who helped with this project, most particularly famed Gillis Springs craftsman Russell Love, Dublin, Georgia electrician Gary Lausch, "Solar Master" Jeff Kaye of Vidalia, Georgia, and Ellen G. Elze, CPA, a super-accountant who's also quite handy with a wrench.

"Solar Foil Ceiling"
Using "Easygrow" foil liner (same stuff that growers use in "grow rooms" for growing ... plants), we created a special prototype upper-wall and ceiling that (1) increased the insulation factor in the home (with all the windows closed it was only 80 degrees inside on a 90-degree day, at 12:20 p.m. and with NO cooling system of any kind in the house except the natural solar mass design that we deployed) and (2) increased the ambient light factor (much brighter inside, longer inside lighting means we don't turn on the lights until even later in the day). We used five rolls of EasyGrow foil and a lot of nail-gun nails to get it on hand-made wooden frames. The frames were then affixed to the metal beams with metal screws. Displayed here are two sets of photos taken over two days, one set in the morning and the other in the early afternoon.

Russell Starts the New Ceiling Prototype
This is the opening scene of a beautiful new creation -- a diamond-diffusion foil ceiling designed to optimize the Great Room's light (hence, daylight is extended and the building's inhabitants won't have to turn on inside lighting until later in the evening). This product, ironically, is what dopers use for their "Grow Rooms." We are endeavoring to create a whole new use for it. Note that, once it is up heat making its way past the pre-existing, 4" "Artic Foil" pouch insulation will hit the back of this new foil-lining ceiling and be guided up toward the building's peak and out two sets of exhaust outlets. Hence, the foil ceiling will yield 3 benefits: (1) reflect ambient daylight back down to the living space; (2) add an additional layer of insulation to the building's interior; and (3) be a pretty, new-wave ceiling! Bonus: The ceiling will be formed by a series of screw-on, custom-designed frames. Removable ceiling panels enable E-Z downwind wiring (etc.) changes.

The first fotos are of the upper wall and ceiling area of the residence part of the Garage/Guest House. These are the "before" shots -- before the new foil-based ceiling-wall-system is installed. The rest of the shots are of the exterior -- it was such a fine June day that I couldn't resist trying the capture the magic of the lush green environs and why the place works so well sitting out there in the middle of a beautiful forest!

It was such a beautiful Sat. Morning that I had to pause and share the scene -- house and grounds freshly cleaned, then "surround-sound" shots from left front of porch to right, then the walk down the path to the front 9 acres, pausing to check out the freshly harrowed garden-grow area, then to the large pond, with the newly installed fish-rod holders (there are now 6) for "mass fishing."

My neighbor's "controlled burn" land
Charles, who owns a 56-acre mirror-image of my farm directly behind my farm, attempted a controlled burn on Thursday, 2/12/09. He failed to check the weather forecast, however, and the afternoon winds picked up and carried a spark to my property, igniting 543 (of over 14,000) trees and burning most of my fence before the fire dept. put it out. These photos are of his land. Note the water-laden (hence, pond-able) areas on the low side (he has a gently rolling slope through about 35 acres of his parcel).

Fire! 543 Trees lost
My neighbor decided to do a controlled burn that got uncontrolled (he didn't bother to check the weather, and the winds picked up....). I'm out 543 out of 14,000 pine trees, plus a run of fencing.

Some Color Changes (Experimentation)
The "Vortex" had been all dark, forest green but it ate up too much light. And no one liked the "puke green" back wall of it. So I painted the back wall and top wings the same gold-yellow as the front of the living area. I like it. Also added some fat-white trim pieces to demarcate where the green walls meet the back vortex (gold-yellow) wall. To see a "before and after" comparison, go to the 10/25/08, "Freshly Cleaned" album and click on photo 3 of 25.
Finally, I put in a 3 hour power-clean cycle. It takes a while to clean 1600 square feet!

"Dueling Bathrooms"
A lot of thought went into the design and look of these very senior-friendly bathrooms (note the large floor area to enable wheel chairs, wheelchair-wide entrance door, and double grab bars for the toilet). The color choices were bold, with the "burnt tangerine" the more brazen of the two (only the "chosen few" seem to like that color....). The last two photos are of the bedrooms -- limited to the window treatments and the first pictures hung. Other photos of the bedrooms are in earlier albums.

"At Last, It's Done!"
The Garage/Guest House is now done, and this weekend was spent cleaning, removing little dabs of paint here and there and changing out a couple of bad doors. My marvelous main contractor, Russell Love & Co., just added a few additional requested outlets here and there -- something that's a lot easier to do in the unfinished (un-sheet-rocked) general living area. And I finished installing the outside pony-rail fence, too. Next week will be final power-cleaning, covering every last spec of dust and random wall-feather of spackle powder here and there.

"Entrance Fence"
Finally, I finished building the Entrance Fence to the Garage/Guest House, so now folks will be nicely guided to the 3-bay, drive-thru garage portion of the building. The white-pile of sandbags insulate a PVC-based, outside spigot that will feed an outside fish-cleaning station. My inventive neighbor surrounded the 2" PVC pipe/spigot combo with a 4" wide heavy gauge PVC outer-pipe and filled the interior with spray foam ("Great Stuff"), then devised a screw-off, insulated cap assembly. Then we surrounded the column itself with sandbags. So now we don't have to worry about a deep winter frost bursting the pipe or metal faucet head. And when we want water, just screw the 4" wide cap off to get to the faucet inside. Pretty slick and simple!

"Dog vs. Catfish"
Upon finding dogfood that is the same as catfish food (and a better buy), we led "Poncho" to the pond and sprinkled some food pellets into the pond, which he promptly lapped up. Then the catish came and neither side backed down. The dog was momentarily startled when a school of cats smacked against his legs, but you know what they say about keeping a dog from his food. The big catfish, however, felt the same. Wish I had closer photos and better timing, because there were some excellent one-on-one, Clint Eastwood level showdowns between Poncho and a big dang catfish over a given food pellet...

"Rounding The Corner"
Building a house typically takes twice as long (and costs twice as much) as planned, and this gig's been typical. The contractors, however, have been devoted to top quality construction, and that can be seen in the fine detail work here, as one of the bathrooms is nearing its final touches. Kitchen island photo shows that the plumber has finished his last hook-up (dishwasher; its protective blue film is still intact). Other photos are of the rest of the farm, including the main pond. Compare the vegetative growth of the "front 9" acres, and around the pond, with early 2007 photos (we bought the farm on 12/31/06; the previous owner had been real big on mowing the front 9 and around the pond, while we've elected to let nature take its course).

"Burnt Orange"
One of the baths is nearly completed. "Burnt Orange" color is a "trend-setter," as they say, and carpet-cover roses are planted out front to add color to the front-porch view. The "front yard," by the way, extends out for acres, not yards, and no civilization can be seen from it. At this stage we're debating whether to bush-hog and start new growth on the front-yard view, or just let things be.

"Lush Green"
With a new bird feeder hung from lush greenery growing in the front landscape area, the internal build-out continues to take form. A very meticulous contractor gets the sheet rock and joint cementing "just right."

Installed a 2 foot wide clock that is radio-frequency connected to a U.S. Atomic Clock so that we'll enjoy accurate time in a place where it's easy to lose track. Found a dead hornet's nest on the property and saved it because rednecks pay big bucks for such "country art."
Apr 19, 2008
2nd Phase of Plumbing Completed
Plumber (who last visited to install foundation-pipes) came and installed most of the major systems (hot water, showers, one of the two toilets, kitchen island sink). We opted for oil rubbed bronze fixtures all around (costs more, but what a difference it makes!).

Build-Out Continues, Outside Work Begins
By this point we are proceeding with general framing of bedrooms/baths, plus cleaning up greenery around the building. 6" wide, perforated black drainage hoses are installed (we dug the trenches by hand) along 650 feet of custom-designed driveway around the building.

Build-Out, Living Space
Some 1600 sq.ft of Texas Beige and other shades of tile installed, it was time to start building the two bedrooms (each with their own built-in bathrooms) and general living area (with kitchen and kitchen island).

Fresh Spring Colors
Our building contactor visited for some punch-list completions, then snapped a sunny day's spread, showing some fresh spring colors after months of grey, wet weather.

New Front Porch View
Hints of green spring out of the new sod, and a wonderful new front porch view emerges (some trees had to be removed for construction; a controlled burn also went down).

Clouds Clear, New Building Blooms!
We hurried to get new sod around the elevated but muddied building curtilage -- lest the rain wash it away on us. We've included a few photos showing the the amount of furnishings hauled in for the internal build-out. Building is 40 x 80, with half (1600 sq.ft) devoted to garage and the other half (1600 sq. ft) devoted to liviing space. 15' front porch and 8' porch on the sides. So, no living area doors or windows are exposed to rain or direct sun.

Post-Sod (Bermuda Grass) Photos
We underestimated how long it would take to lay $740 worth of (then dormant) Bermuda Grass sod. Started around noon, wound up laying sod by moonlight. Excellent work-out!

Two of our three ponds
The first pond photo is of our 1-acre pond. The next photo sequence is of a smaller, clay pit that we had expanded to a pond by a very good mound-septic system contractor (note photos of mount-septic-system components just before they were installed), who also installed the crush-n-run, gravel-based driveway on the 3-car garage side of the Garage/Guest House.
Feb 2, 2008
Building finished on a rainy day
Grey and muddy day for the birth of a new building. However, it was not an ominous omen; as later photos show, it's been a success.

"Real Soon Now"
"Real Soon Now" is the phrase all contractors wear out and our building-shell contractor was no different. This was a "multi-week" building that now became "multi-month." But, it would become a solid, 120-mph wind-speed rated building that, as you'll see in later photos, works well. Later photos documenting the internal build-out show that "we will sell no wine before its time" -- that phase has taken longer than anticipated, too, but Russell Love & Co. has performed top-quality, "artisan-level" work and we highly recommend them (they also do premium quality iron work: Love-Decorative-Iron-Works.com)

Power Line Installed; Building Erection Commenced
The grass road is turned to clay mush from the $4683 underground power line installation (telephone poles are a lot cheaper, to be sure). Meanwhile, the first red oxide beams go up.

Foundation Poured
The foundation crew started "pour day" in the early morning and worked into the dark. All of them pulled their vehicles up around the site and turned their vehicles' lights on. Once the concrete's poured, it's got to be smoothed before it dries, and it doesn't wait for man or the sun.
Nov 17, 2007
"Dirt Road Wear & Tear"
By this point our wonderful grass-road is showing some wear after many trucks and runs of heavy equipment. Soon it would be gutted down the middle and coated with clay -- what happens when one orders an underground power cable from the power company.

Additional Foundation Prep
By this point additional foundation prep is being performed, and surrounding new dirt roads (leading up to and away from the Garage/Guest House have) have been cut and cleared.
Oct 20, 2007
Clay Loads Delivered and Smoothed
By this point the 33 loads of clay were delivered and "Collis," the foundation subcontractor, spent a good lick of time compacting it.

"Beautiful Farm" Fotos
These photos capture the farm in its late-summer glory. Note the grass roads (would later turn to clay-ish mush from the construction, but nature restores all), and beautiful shots of the 14,000 pine-tree plantation, plus 21 acres of assorted hardwoods and stray pines.

A quartet of average scenes with gals who exhibit a Latin look.
Four scenes with an overall Latin flavor visually permeate the TV screen with average action and nothing too objectionable. The sexiest part by far was the part with Katalina, who generously and exceedingly soaked her body, and that of the lucky male, with what appears to be glistening, slick oil. They may have drenched themselves and their surroundings, but the result was one slip-slidingly enjoyable experience for folks who dig this messy fun and avoid friction and rug burns.

Flair Egypt Magazine (Dec 2012) - Designing a residential project is far beyond a materialistic, lifeless experience. It's truly personal; "we design a home not just a house " is one of my strong convictions. I always stress on the necessity that homeowners who choose to handle that ordeal personally and not hire a professional to tackle the job, should educate themselves on certain basics in order to prevent reoccurring and common faux-pas. While reading through the deadly sins, I am sure you will find that many of them sound familiar.

Two men fighting for life after being gunned down in late-night attack in Pyrmont
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 07, 2014
SYDNEY has again been rocked by late night shootings, the latest in a wave of gun crime.
Two men are in a critical condition in hospital after the first shooting in Jones Street, Ultimo around 10.40pm last night.
Michael Smart, 49, was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with a gunshot wound to the head.
The second victim his son Josh Smart, 23, was taken to St Vincent's Hospital after being shot in the lower back and is in a stable condition.
Nearby residents reported hearing up to six gunshots.
Acting Commander of Sydney City police, John Maricic, said police believe it was a targeted attack.
"At this stage, both persons are known to police, obviously that's a line of inquiry we'll be looking at."
"It would appear at this stage that it is a targeted shooting."
The offenders are understood to have fled the scene in a car.
Several residents of houses on Jones street were watching from their front doors, but most said they had not seen anything.
Claudio Chimisso, 31, said he had been at his girlfriend's house and the shots sounded very close.
He said he heard loud shots, followed by a woman screaming.
"I was in my girlfriend's house, just taking a nap and I heard six, maybe seven shots," he said, "It was very strong - boom, boom, boom, boom."
"I was pretty sure it was a gun because it was too late for fireworks."
"I woke up pretty fast from the nap and there was another girl there who was in shock because she knew it's was a gun too."
"Within one minute there were five or six police cars - so a very rapid response."
Police had last night cordoned off much of Jones and Fig Streets as the Forensics squad assessed an area to the northern end of Jones Street.
Public Order and Riot Squad police could also be seen performing a line walk through, searching bushes, under cars and in the rubbish bins of nearby houses.
No arrests have yet been made.
Just half an hour later, bullets were fired into a house in Bonnyrigg.
Police have said a number of shots were fired through the front windows of a house on Edensor Road around 11.10pm.
Several people were inside at the time, but all escaped injury.
It is also believed to have been a targeted attack, but the shootings do not appear to be linked.Originally published as Father and son gunned down

Does Chrome's Download Manager resume downloads if the connection is lost or closed?
Internet Download Manager works very well and captures everything in Chrome..
For the record, Chrome's built-in download manager can and will resume downloads.
Using Chrome 4.0 on Windows XP, I started downloading a large file (1GB.zip), then used TCPView to manually close the connection. When the connection was closed, Chrome considered the download complete, there was no option to resume.
This test assumes that TCPView closing the connection appears the same to Chrome as a typical network problem. I'm not sure of the details to confirm if this is a correct assumtion.
If you have a different version of Chrome or want to test other browsers or programs, you can try using TCPView to test yourself.
You can use Free Download Manager.
This article shows how to integrate FDM with Chrome.
Chrome does have a download manager (chrome://downloads/), if that counts.
However the resuming (especially from a lost connection) is shaky. It works for me occasionally, but at other times, especially with large files, it stops and "finishes" the way Bavi_H describes it. At least this is what I have observed.
(btw, this is on Mac OSX)

[ A Tiny Star Begins to Twinkle ]
It's a rainy Sunday afternoon, and a tiny girl sits at her grandmother's knee, hearing tales of life as a female vocalist in the twenties. The grandmother is Alice Werren, one of the four Werren Sisters whose vocal harmonies could be heard at the world-famous Orpheum Theatre, and on 78's in the twenties and thirties.
The little girl was Barbara Lusch and the clear, melodious voice that harmonized with her grandmother's possessed a remarkable tone quality that is still with her today.
[ Portland, Oregon ]
The Barbara Lusch story begins and continues in Portland, Oregon with many a musical adventure in between. She learned to love the jazz standards from her grandmother, and grew up singing with her sisters. As a student of music and performing arts in New York and Los Angeles for over a decade, Barbara gained experience and national exposure in network television series, daytime soaps, sitcoms, films and commercials, as well as in the theater. Back in Portland, her solo career was preceded by a stint as vocalist with a popular Latin band which appeared with the Oregon Symphony Pops and in venues like Portland's historic Crystal Ballroom. Barbara went solo in 2002, and now her career finds her performing throughout the Pacific Northwest, with regular engagements at local, high-profile clubs, like the world renown Jimmy Mak's. Recent credits include Portland's Cathedral Park Jazz Festival, the Portland Jazz Festival, and Astoria's Historic Liberty Theater. Her first CD, Barbara Lusch, released in 2004, received enthusiastic press and radio airplay both nationally and abroad. The recent release of Barbara's second CD, Surprisingly Good For You, met with equal enthusiasm from fans and industry insiders. In the words of one reviewer, she is "a first-class vocalist at the top of her game."
[ The Woman Behind The Voice ]
Barbara Lusch is much more than the playful, intimate voice taking us back in time. As bandleader, she hires musicians who will compliment her interpretations of the vintage pop music she performs. As producer, she looks for a particular balance of favorite standards and less well-known numbers – adding her unique musical style and storytelling flair. It's a combination that leaves her audience wanting more.

Irmi Durot and Hartmann, two facilitators from Switzerland, came on my boat for two days of swimming with the wild dolphins. Amy and Sylvia joined them for the first day, and we swam with a pod of 8 bottlenose dolphins. While they were swimming with the bottlenose dolphins, a pod of 8 spotted dolphins joined them. We stayed with the spotted dolphins for several hours, and the pod grew in size to over 20 dolphins! Amy Dowe Berman said "I want to express great gratitude for the amazing experience last week aboard your boat and with the Dolphins. Your amazing presence, reverence, and love for the dolphins was so heart filling; and my interaction and experience of the collective energy both in and out of the water was a beautiful gift."

They met at the airport for the first time then met the dolphins each day for four days in a row. Following is some of the photos of them swimming with the wild dolphins in Bimini, the Bahamas. www.DolphinWhisperers.org

Sacred Spearfishing in Bimini, Bahama with great love and respect for the ocean and her inhabitants.
http://DolphinWhisperer.org - Bimini is where I learned to feed myself the same way the dolphins do! Using only a Hawaiian Sling and pole spear, I freedive to get my dinner. I've learned a lot about the ocean from swimming around down there, and enter her with great Love and Respect. I always say a prayer of Appreciation before I go fishing, and I thank and bless the fish I catch. Here are some of my favorite dinners! www.DolphinWhisperer.org

Sacred Hunter/Gatherer; Spearfishing with love and respect
When we approach hunting with humility, awareness and respect, we re-enter an ancient, intimate marriage with the Natural world. The grievous sense of separation that is such a painful condition of modern civilization disappears. Our bodies feel alive and alert, our senses supercharged, our muscles, bones and cells sing. We are one with everything around us, awakening a vitalizing, inspiring and divinely passionate relationship with our world.
We include sacred spearfishing on our Bimini wild dolphin trips, and also offer it as a custom trip. If you feel the pull of the sacred calling you to dive into life more fully, and wish to join us on one of our trips, please visit http://dolphinwhisperers.org, or contact Joe for more info.

Are Whales our Big Brother?
Being in the company of a whale is humbling! Yes, i'm humbled by their almost monstrous size, but i am more so humbled by the amazing presence they emanate... I've been blessed to connect with them many times while swimming in the sea, and these are photos of a couple recent encounters. The baby and mom popped out of the blue and came over to say hello. I humbly treaded water as baby checked me out, then went down to nuzzle mom who settled beneath us. In their presence, my whole life flashed before me; not the past, but what is possible for us as humans, including more intimate and loving connections between humans and cetaceans everywhere. www.DolphinWhisperer.org
(Interesting fact - Whales and dolphins have had a big brain for 25 to 50 million years. Ours started to get big only 100,000 years ago. We're the new kid on the block ;)

Amazing photos of a heart-to-heart, eye-to-eye reunion while swimming with Spiral the wild dolphin!
(Watch as a slide show!) Spiral, a very friendly wild spotted dolphin with her dorsal fin partly chopped off, is a very dear friend of mine... She is so incredibly loving, and on this day, she stopped swimming, went vertical in the water, and gave me the longest, deepest, most beautiful and soulful look... and then she sank, slowly, deeper into the water. I followed her and we held eye contact for an eternity... My friend Atmo from Wildquest was with us in the water too. Spiral and ALL her podmates resonate, activate and awaken the truly divine qualities of love and joy within us! Join me in sending our love and appreciation to the dolphins and whales of our world!!! www.DolphinWhisperers.org

Farm & Wilderness Vermont - Spring Planting Retreat - May 2012
Farm & Wilderness, aka 'F&W', (http://www.farmandwilderness.org) is a group of camps in central Vermont that are very near and dear to my heart. I worked there as a counselor 3 decades ago and continue to go back for my fix of 'community, family & fun!'.
I flew from the Bahamas to New England specifically for this weekend, and as i arrived with the excitement of a first time camper, i felt at home in a way that only those magical places in our lives can generate... such is the continuing magic of F&W, for i saw this magic on the faces of everyone i met there; from the old farts to the youngest of kids.
I love to recommend F&W for anyone seeking fun and adventure in community, for they joyfully reveal the light of the spirit in everyone through their mix of rugged nature, work and play.

Last week he was afraid to put his face in the pool
Like many of us, Sebi has a fear of the water. Silke, his mom, has been trying to get him ready for their trip here to Bimini, to swim with the wild dolphins, and he was scared to put his face in the pool...
When they got here, i took him and his brother Nicholas into the shallow water, to 'test out' their snorkel gear... I could see the mix of resistance and fear in his eyes…
After splashing about a bit, we put on his mask. Talking to him playfully thru my snorkel (Zedi, can u heah me???), we established eye contact, the same kind of contact i was hoping he'd have over the next few days with the dolphins...
Slowly we got down on our knees... then we gently lowered ourselves in synchronicity, until we were smiling and making faces at each other underwater...
The next 4 days, he was in the crystal clear blue Bahamian ocean with his brother and mom, swimming with the turtles, fish and wild dolphins...

Oneness Awakening Bimini Dolphin Trip #3 - 11-11-11
http://DolphinWhisperer.org We had four Oneness Trainers and a handful of Blessing Givers living together for five days on the beautiful island of Bimini celebrating the 11-11-11 together. We had a tropical storm off the eastern coast of the Bahamas that gave us big waves of water and shakti, and a skype conference call with Doug to give us even more blessings! We found that doing Ananda Mandala while holding hands STANDING IN THE OCEAN added even more kundalini to the process!!! We did an ocean ceremony to send the Oneness Blessing into the oceans of our world... Check out http://DolphinWhisperer.org for our next Oneness Awakening Bimini trip! Namaste!

Seaweed Tag with Spiral the Wild Dolphin
Dolphins LOVE to play, and this was THE most amazing game of seaweed tag I've ever played with them!
It went on for an hour and we passed the seaweed back and forth many times. Once, when it was on the back of Spiral's tail (Spiral is the one with the missing dorsal fin), it broke in two...
I grabbed both pieces, dove down, released them, and she and Joyous each grabbed a piece! And the game continued!
I love these dolphins, they treat us with such love and generosity. And Spiral is so much fun!

Motorcycle Road Trip in India - And Hiking Sacred Mount Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai
I was visiting friends in Pondicherry, staying at the beautiful L'Escale in the French Quarter, overlooking the ocean from the breakfast deck on the roof, when Nicolas, the owner, who was helping me make arrangements to visit Arunachala, asked the fateful question...
"Why don't you take a motorcycle???"
The energy that flew thru me in that moment just about blew every fuse in my brain...
"OMG Yes!" was the initial impulse...
"You're gonna die!!!" was the second...
You see, I've been tooling around India by taxi, rickshaw, bus, train and scooter plenty over the past few months, and I'm still in awe of how it all works... without daily carnage... everywhere...
And, I've never driven a motorcycle, not since I was 10...
"You're gonna die" kept repeating...
But something else was more prevalent, something else was just sitting there smiling... a Cheshire cat smile... as if, somehow, it knew the deal had been sealed...

Ho'oponopono at 'The Cove' in Taiji, Japan
I went to The Cove in Taiji, Japan, the site of the documentary 'The Cove', to perform a Water Ceremony and a Ho'oponopono Healing Ceremony.
It was a very powerful event, there were hundreds of people from around the world who joined us online.
To be at the site of where so many dolphins have been killed, and to hold everybody and everything; the dolphins, the fishermen, the people who eat the meat, the activists, the Japanese people, the dolphin lovers from around the world... to hold all these seemingly conflicted and polarized emotions and energies within my heart as I did the ceremony, was profoundly moving and healing...

Family Dolphin Trips - The Peters Family in Bimini, the Bahamas - Christmas 2010
"This is the best Christmas I've ever had"
These are photos from one of our Family Dolphin Trips. This trip was for Joanne Peters and her kids, we spent 5 days over the Christmas holiday playing on the beach and swimming with the dolphins! They're from Toronto and loved getting out of the snow and into beautiful Bimini!
Every trip is customizable and unique... once we found everyone liked lobster, we speared enough to have fresh lobster for two nights! Devon wanted to give it a try and ended up catching his first lobster!
We went snorkeling, exploring, freediving, spearfishing and swimming with the beautiful wild dolphins of Bimini. We explored the island on golf carts, ate conch and made new friends.
Joanne said "It was the best Christmas I've ever had". (So did Nan, who joined us from Calgary).

Amazing Sumac Autumn Colors; Ontario, Canada 2010
Autumn colors in New England are outrageous; often whole mountain sides are painted in reds, yellows and oranges. I've found it to be very similar up here in Toronto.
This season, I found myself entranced by the beauty of the Sumac trees... their leaves were the most vibrant of all I saw.
The sumac is more of a bush, and it grows rampant on the edge of fields and roads. Following are a variety of leaf photos, many of them sumac, some of the very same leaf taken day after day...

Spearfishing from the Ft. Lauderdale Beach
I love the ocean and I regularly swim out to get my dinner from there... I drive (or ride my bike) to the beach, put on my wetsuit (in the cooler months), say a prayer/blessing of thanksgiving to the ocean and any fish and lobster that show up, and enter the water with every cell tingling with joy...
A half mile from the beach, the reef comes up to within 15 feet of the surface. We swim out there regularly, checking the two other (deeper) reefs on the way...
The ocean off Ft. Lauderdale has its own beauty and charm... I go to immerse myself in something far wiser, older and vaster than me, and she always delivers...
Catching some fish or lobster for dinner is secondary to being immersed in the totality of the ocean... I'm smitten by the ocean!

Autumn Colors in Toronto
Autumn colors are mesmerizing and outrageous; sometimes I have to pull over and get out and walk up to the trees, they are so vitally and vibrantly alive.
It is as if the whole forest is trumpeting a colorful love of life...

Traveling with my Sweetie (Potato)
I am convinced that we have an instinctual, hereditary and spiritual connection to food.
It shows up for me in the craziest of ways. Today, in how I feel about the sweet potato that's sitting beside me. I'm on a plane. With my sweetie, sweet potato.

Bimini Dolphins Trip, Aug 2009
Jennifer Hough brought a bunch of her friends down from Toronto for 6 days of fun, joy, adventure & laughter in the Bahamas! We went to open ourselves to even more beauty, magic and wonder, and were overjoyed...
Thru dropping our attachment to our 'story' of who we are and how things 'should' go, we allowed the Universe to present us with whatever she had in store for us (think vibrational escrow! ;)
She showered us (literally!) with an endless stream of beauty, magic & wonder, and we laughed and played our way across the island and its waters...

I have extra room for my tools and guns in a lockable storage compartment. Took a little time to install, but once I installed right-side, the left-side was a breeze. I hunt out of the back of my truck, so this box is ideal for carrying my rifles.

Fitch Gives Croatia 'Benefit of Doubt' in Maintaining Rating
Croatia's government must "take action" to make the country's labor market and tax system more favorable to employers and investors or face a possible downgrade in its BBB- credit assessment, Fitch Ratings said.
The administration of Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, which came to power after December 2011 elections, also needs to stick to its budget targets and implement growth targets, Michele Napolitano, associate director at Fitch's Emerging Europe Sovereign team in London, said today in a teleconference. Fitch reaffirmed Croatia's rating, the lowest investment grade, with a negative outlook on March 5.
"We have decided to give the new government the benefit of the doubt, and we believe there are good reasons for doing it," Napolitano said. "Fiscal slippage and a lack of reform would lead to a negative grade. We have no specific timing, but we would expect to see some action by the government in the first half of the year."
Croatia, which is set to become the European Union's 28th member in 2013, needs to service a growing external debt and revive its faltering economy. Milanovic said last month that the economy will grow 0.8 percent in 2012, while central bank Governor Zeljko Rohatinski said in December the country may slide into recession this year after a modest recovery in 2011.
The government has proposed to cut spending by 4 billion kuna ($700 million) through lower subsidies to state companies and trimming public wages. It also plans to revive investment by injecting 8 billion kuna from reconstruction banks and EU funds into infrastructure projects and the energy industry.
