A Northamptonshire Police Officer has been found guilty of murdering his wife in their home in Northampton.
Adrian 'Otis' Goldsmith, aged 50, was convicted of the murder of his wife Jill, aged 49, in the porch of their home next to Wootton Hall police headquarters in Northampton on March 26, last year.
A jury at Stafford Crown Court took more than five hours to return their uninamous verdict after hearing three weeks of evidence.
After the verdict was read out, Goldsmith sat down and put his head in his hands.
During the trial the court heard Goldsmith, hit his wife repeatedly on the head with a variety of weapons including a mallet, a paint tin and abox battery.
Prosecutor John Lloyd-Jones QC said Goldsmith held her with such force he fractured a bone in her neck.
The jury were played a 999 call he made to police claiming his wife attacked him.
In the recording, Goldsmith said: "My wife tried to kill me, I think she's dead."
In interview Goldsmith said she had come at him with the knife "like a whirling dervish" and stabbed him.
The court heard the couple, who married in May 2014, had a number of rows throughout their relationship and had considered divorce.
Mr Lloyd-Jones said: "The relationship was at times a happy one but after their marriage their relationship became beset with difficulties.
"They would frequently argue and it's fair to say they both had their fair share of personal problems.
"Jill was undergoing the menopause and the reduction in her sex drive was something that annoyed and frustrated the defendant
"We say this man lost his temper and in that rage he unlawfully killed Jill Goldsmith using a variety of weapons and he quite plainly intended to kill her.
"Jill Goldsmith was the victim of a sustained blunt force assault in which multiple blows were directed at her head."
Mr Lloyd-Jones said it Jill Goldsmith only weighed 6st 9lbs and was 5ft 2ins and it "would have been only too easy" for the police officer to restrain her in a "non-fatal way."
He said: "The defendant had injuries but none of these were even remotely life-threatening. He had a number of superficial stab injuries but it is the prosecution's case that these were self-inflicted to mimic a knife attack.
"He fabricated evidence to make it look like he had been stabbed by his wife to try and fool his colleagues and you the jury."
Goldsmith was awarded a Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal by the force in 2009 when he was a Detective Constable and had worked in the Dangerous Person Management Unit (DPMU).
At the time of his arrest he was a Police Constable after volunteering to return to uniform.

Last week the Coventry Telegraph reported fears that the city's rail service would suffer with HS2. You can read this initial report and the follow-up story here.
These claims have been made by HS2 opponents before. In fact, we wrote a piece in response to similar claims on September 16, 2011 – Coventry will not miss out, despite what critics say. When referring to Coventry rail services opponents are really referring to London services from the city's station. Of course Coventry needs services to many different destinations and not just London. However, it is right that Coventry's services must not suffer and it must get the best possible deal from HS2.
It is worth reiterating a few important points.
- Coventry will be around 8 miles from HS2 services at Interchange
- Coventry will retain London services AND will benefit from released capacity which provides better local, regional services (for example better links with Milton Keynes)
- Many London services arrive full or extremely busy from Birmingham (HS2 will relieve this)
- The main alternative to HS2 (51M) allows for no growth between Coventry and Birmingham
- With increasing rail use what kind of service will Coventry have unless we provide more capacity?
The following letter was sent to the Coventry Telegraph from Centro chief exec Geoff Inskip.
Dear Sir,
We fully support City Council Leader John Mutton's view in Thursday's Telegraph (April 26) that Coventry must see some benefit from HS2 and that its city rail links must not suffer.
On the contrary we need to seize the opportunity to improve Coventry's connectivity with the extra space created on the West Coast Mainline and so we will continue to work with Coventry City Council and other authorities across the West Midlands to ensure we get the best possible deal for our communities and businesses.
I often receive letters and comments from rail passengers in Coventry saying that London trains are already crowded when they arrive from Birmingham.
Building the new network will release capacity for towns and cities, including Coventry, all along the West Coast Main line and help us provide Coventry with better local and regional services.
So I would like to see Coventry enjoy better links and job opportunities with fast-growing Milton Keynes, for example.
I'm concerned that the alternative to HS2 which is often put forward by opponents allows for no growth in rail services between Coventry and Birmingham and also threatens services at Atherstone.
However, I fully understand Councillor Mutton's concerns about existing services from Coventry station and will work closely with him to ensure Coventry gets the best deal from HS2.
Yours etc.
Geoff Inskip

We study analytic aspects of the Dedekind zeta function of a Galois extension. Specifically, we are interested in its mean values. In the first part of this thesis we give a formula for the second moment of the Dedekind zeta function of a quadratic field times an arbitrary Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{1/11-\epsilon}$. In the second part, we derive a hybrid Euler-Hadamard product for the Dedekind zeta function of an arbitrary number field. We rigorously calculate the $2k$th moment of the Euler product part as well as conjecture the $2k$th moment of the Hadamard product using random matrix theory. In both instances we are restricted to Galois extensions. We then conjecture that the $2k$th moment of the Dedekind zeta function of a Galois extension is given by the product of the two. By using our results from the first part of this thesis we are able to prove both conjectures in the case $k=1$ for quadratic fields. We also re-derive our conjecture for the $2k$th moment of quadratic Dedekind zeta functions by using a modification of the moments recipe. Finally, we apply our methods to general non-primitive $L$-functions and gain a conjecture regarding their moments. Our main idea is that, to leading order, the moment of a product of distinct $L$-functions should be the product of the individual moments of the constituent $L$-functions.

Sparks Fly
- Mad rush to "go live" in the 90s
- Much that is poorly designed
- Web is user interface
- Place to do business
- Correspond
- Collaborate
- Do research
- More
- Most web sites DON'T WORK
- Many are frustrating, confusing, and generally useless
- Must use tools, techniques, and tips to determine which sites work and why
- Look at the good, the bad, and the ugly web sites to gain insight for your site
Form vs. Function
- Beauty vs. Usability
- Good site strikes a balance
- Moderation is key
- Key question
- How pleasing does the site look (sound) as opposed to how serviceable is the site for the designed purpose?
User-centered Design
- Start with a purpose
- "We need a web site and we need it NOW!"
- Wrong purpose
- Critical to determine first the purpose of the site before you can proceed
- What is the main goal of your web site?
- Once you have the main focus, then determine the steps to the goal
If you build it…..
Why will people come to your web site?
Is one visit all you have? Will they come back? What will attract repeat visitors?
How will they find you site?
How will they find information on your site once they get there?
Why do sites go bad?
- Confused focus
- Designer focuses on technical aspects of site
- Designer focuses on features
- "Geek" factor
- Designer is highly technical (programmer) and out of touch with end user needs
- Cutting Edge Mentality
- Developers go with trends, cutting edge technology
- End user no where near the cutting edge
- Design on the go
- Design failure due to lack of planning
- Common sense missing
- Management by non-design individuals
- Experienced designer in NOT making critical decisions
Five Design Elements--The 5 C's
1. Communicate with Clarity
What is the point?
Does the web site communicate the purpose immediately on arrival?
Could you concisely state the idea or feeling or call to action that the site portrays? You can't afford to be ambiguous!
Hurtles to Success
- Time
- Load speed and clarity of splash or home page is essential
- First impression is linked to load speed
- Easy to use
- Must be able to grasp "how things work"
- Interest
- Must have information presented clearly and in an interesting manner
Use common syntax (navigation buttons, colors for links, etc.)
Examples of Symbols used on the web
- Back arrow
- Forward arrow
- Home
- Royal blue for hyperlink
2. Visual, Conceptual, Mechanical Consistency
Patterns—human brain constantly seeks
Web design takes advantage of brain need for organization and consistency (patterns)
- Proximity—group similar functions together
- Similarity—relate objects by characteristics like shape, style or color
Similar tools
Action states
Coordinate all elements
Interface standards
Line widths
Text style
Photography—size, special effects, color depth
File formats
3. Take Advantage of Contrast
Information overload
Right amount of visuals, space, sound
White space important
Intrigue not annoy user
Illustration techniques
Positive/negative space
4. Clutter--Strive to be Uncluttered
Only offer what achieves the purpose
Empower the curser
Layer information
Simplify navigation
Focus and filter
Use negative space—lets the eye rest
Empty space can be powerful tool for focus
5. Content--Storytelling
Need structure—beginning, middle, end
Show rather than tell the story
Sound—used effectively can really enhance site
Two-way communication possible
Need elements that change—recommended links, new information, downloads, etc.
Let's Get Started--Users
Find out who your users are.
What is the reason they need your site?
What information do they want?
How old? What gender? Occupation? What is the profile?
Why are they looking for your site?
How to get started
Digital watch
Paper for notes
Web browser
Comfortable chair
Quiet workspace
Internet connection
Handout of Sites
Check out at least 10 of these sites
Begin your evaluation here
Look at the five C's
Concept (logical sequence of information--story)
Now What? You determine…
What are the 10 things you hate the most about the Web?
What are the 5 things you love about the Web?
What are your favorite sites and why are they your favorites?
Web Design is Important
Good web sites do not happen by accident
Planning is essential
Lots of competition
Information overload
Check out the competition to determine…
How do you make your site memorable?

On the blog for The Christian Cadre, contributor BK has written a post, Dawkins' Dilemma, in which BK refers to a post by Pastor Dustin S. Segers on Segers' blog Grace in the Triad, which asks, how a materialist atheist like Richard Dawkins can view the god of the Old Testament as a monster. From where does Dawkins derive his standards?
Now, I am no expert on Dawkins; but while I know that he is a self-declared atheist, I do not know that he has declared himself to be a materialist. Actually from BK's quoting of Segers, I can say that Dawkins doesn't quite fit the bill.
BK quotes Segers for the following two syllogisms:
Syllogism One:
1. Material things are extended in space.
2. Objective moral laws are not extended in space.
3. Therefore, objective moral laws are non-material.
4. Materialism posits that non-material entities do not exist.
5. Therefore, objective moral laws do not exist.
Syllogism Two:
1. Objective moral laws are universal entities that apply to all people, places, and times.
2. Materialism holds that only particular entities have ontological existence.
3. No material thing is a universal entity.
4. Objective moral laws are not material things.
5. Therefore, objective moral laws do not exist.
I can positively say that Dawkins does not adhere to the materialism implicitly defined by these two syllogisms.
On p. 127 of The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins writes:
DNA gets the best of both worlds. DNA molecules themselves, as physical entities, are like dewdrops. Under the right conditions they come into existence at a great rate, but no one of them has existed for long, and all will be destroyed within a few months. They are not durable like rocks. But the patterns that they bear in their sequences are as durable as the hardest rocks. They have what it takes to exist for millions of years, and that is why they are still here today. The essential difference from dewdrops is that new dewdrops are not begotten by old dewdrops. Dewdrops doubtless resemble other dewdrops, but they don't specifically resemble their own 'parent' dewdrops. Unlike DNA molecules, they don't form lineages, and therefore can't pass on messages. Dewdrops come into existence by spontaneous generation, DNA messages by replication.
That is, while DNA molecules are material, genes = DNA patterns are not, though each concrete instance needs to exist in a material form. Genes therefore violate premise 2 of Segers' Syllogism Two. DNA molecules are particular entities; but DNA patterns are not.
Therefore, Dawkins is not a materialist, at least not according to Segers' definition.
Materialism should be distinguished from naturalism, according to which no supernatural consciousness is actively operating in the universe. Dawkins uses the word meme in analogy to gene, where a meme is a thought pattern, not some assembly of neurons - two persons can share a meme, but they don't share neurons. A meme can be something like 'you shall not cause suffering', which most people accept. Such memes, while not material, can still be completely natural, because they need not be impressed by direct operation by any supernatural, conscious entity, and they can be 'inherited' by social interaction.
Now, the Sixth Commandment (Deuteronomy 5:17) says "You shall not kill". Assume this to be an objective moral law. Then, according to Segers, it "appl[ies] to all people, places, and times". In 1 Samuel 15:1-3 we have this interesting passage:
1Sa 15:1And Samuel said unto Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Jehovah.
1Sa 15:2Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
1Sa 15:3Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
It is the prophet Samuel telling King Saul to slay — that is, kill — all the Amalekites, "both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." It is even a divine commandment, Samuel is passing on the words of Yahweh, though not an absolute moral law, because it is specifically addressed to Saul. As reason for this commandment is given that Yahweh "ha[s] marked that which Amalek did to Israel".
But if the Sixth Commandment, "You shall not kill", with Segers' words, "appl[ies] to all people, places, and times", then it applies to Saul and can not be circumvented with any excuse, not even revenge.
That is, even (some) theists allow for exceptions to supposedly objective moral laws, so what's the whole point of such laws? Once you allow for a supernatural, conscious entity to intervene with human affairs, you allow for any specific commandment to preempt the supposedly objective moral laws.
Objective moral laws, if such exist, allow for no exceptions, not even exceptions imposed by the lawgiver. Note that Saul doesn't completely follow the instructions in that he doesn't kill the Amalekite king Agag and also keeps the best of the animals. Samuel then kills Agag; but even that doesn't finish off the Amalekites. They pop up again from time to time.
Possibly God has here been caught by his own laws; the Amalekites cannot be killed because of the Sixth Commandment? No matter how much God tries to finish off the Amalekites, not even he can do it.

i have used this recipe dozens of times and probably mentioned it here nearly as many. finally: galette dough.
i've made galettes for years, and until a few months ago i used a pretty straightforward recipe, quite similar to a standard pie crust dough. then, more recently, we started making seasonal fruit galettes at work, and i discovered with the same few ingredients (butter, salt, flour, and water) you can get a very different, absolutely heavenly flakey crust. here it is:
2 sticks of butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and placed in the freezer for at least 30 minutes (until quite hard and cold)
240 g AP flour
100 g cake flour
1/2 cup water, with 1 t salt dissolved in it and placed in the freezer to cool
you'll need some table room to work on. clear a space as large as you can on a kitchen table or counter.
dust your work space with the slightest bit of ap flour to work on. sprinkle the butter on top in a small pile; dump the 2 flours on top of that, and get out your rolling pin. you'll also want some kind of scraper to gather the dough. roll it out and scrape it back together until the butter has all been flattened into little pieces and the dough looks very shaggy, like the first picture on the left.
one you've gotten it all nice and shaggy, gather it up, make a well in the center, and pour in the water that's been chilling in the freezer. use your scraper to cut the water into the dough a bit before using your rolling pin to begin to roll the dough out into a long rectangle (as in the above photo.) use extra flour on your rolling pin to keep it from sticking, and on your table as needed. once you've got it all together, as a cohesive dough, even out the sides and then simply fold it up as you would a letter - 2 folds, in three sections. then turn it to the side, and roll it out again, the exact same way - long rectangle, then folded into thirds. roll out once more, fold it up, and wrap it in plastic and let it chill for at least an hour.
once you're ready to use the dough, roll it out into a big rectangle, with the dough about 1/4 inch thick. all the folds you've put in there give it amazing, flaky layers - it's almost like puff pastry, but without all the work and waiting between turns. simply cut up any fruit that's in season, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice on top (if it's something like an apple or pear) or else just some sugar, and bake at 350 until browned. simply incredible. i use it for savory galettes as well.
a wonderful and unforeseen consequence of a surprise half birthday party? friends unable to attend offer to buy you drinks! for no reason except that you didn't see them a night you hadn't even known to expect them! for such an occasion, i wear:
blouse: j crew
brooch: picked up at a little shop in red hook (for a DOLLAR!)
skirt: american apparel
belt: thrifted
tights: bought off a guy in the street (yes, but they were in untampered with packaging, i swear!)
shoes: oak nyc
wearing these shoes while i still can, before the first snow comes. i tremble in fear.
have a lovely night, all!

Ps. Come by and visit!
your hair is so nice. i wish i could say i knew what a galette was before this, but my palate is pretty limited *epic fail* i'll have to try making this, thanks!ReplyDelete
Nomnomnom. I'm totally going to give the galettes a go.ReplyDelete
And I love the going-out-for-drinks outfit! Great colors.
you look lovely! i love the colours in this outfit :)ReplyDelete

Nevada city is a little misleading from the moment you mumble it's title. It is not in Nevada, nor is it a city. Instead you'll find a small textured town California, situated amongst pine covered hills and mountains.
Julia and Andrew brought me to this neat little town to photograph their beautiful wedding. Mountain cottages, stillness and wilderness, all the things I wasn't expecting when I first heard Nevada City.
Welcome to their wedding.

Its an exciting time for long time fans of the cooler than cool Bandicoot named Crash.
Among other great titles like inFAMOUS: Second Son, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and more – Rocket League is next in line to be supported by the PS4 Pro.
That's right!
Splatoon 2 is said to release some time in the summer of 2017 on the Nintendo Switch, but anxious players will get to play the game early according to a recent announcement. How you may ask? Through a 3 day global testfire!
Gotta transfer em' all! Pokémon Bank has finally become compatible with Sun and Moon via update, making players able to transfer Pokémon from previous games into the latest games. Nintendo is also giving out a special gift for transferring the old Pokémon into new Pokémon.
Yesterday morning was the announcement of the long awaited Tekken 7 release date. Although it has been available in arcades, there have been many waiting for its console release and now we have it.
An unfortunate glitch has been discovered in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It appears that saving your game in certain areas can corrupt your safe file and result in the loss of your data.
The second generation of Pokemon will be headed to Pokemon GO in the future, as recent data in the games code has now revealed more exciting information.
BlizzCon 2016 is finally here and with it has come the Overwatch Sombra character reveal through an animated short, new game mode information, and new map details!
The wait is finally over. Nintendo has officially revealed its next console in a trailer. Plenty of anticipated new games, the layout of the console, and other special features of the console were all shown off in this first preview.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful that you just had to take a picture of it, but when you finally sat down to look at the photo that it fell far short of expectations? Many years ago, my friend Rick explained my disappointment. "That's because you put a frame around it."
He's right. When you see something beautiful, you are seeing it WITHOUT a frame around it. Then, by taking a picture, you are cramming that beauty into the confines of 640×480; 4:3; or 16:9.
Yesterday, I completed an experiment that I started this past summer. I've always been interested in panoramic photographs — you know where you take multiple pictures of a scene and then try to "stitch" them back together again. Of course you are still putting a frame around the image, but at least you are pushing it farther away from the middle:-)
Well, I had picked up a copy of Stitcher from Realviz, and my preliminary experiments were promising. Using a simple, 6M pixel Casio Exlim point and shoot camera, I was creating some very cool looking panoramas. So, when my family and I went on a 10 Day Mediterranean cruise this past summer, I left with a goal to take as many panoramic pictures as possible. Last night, I uploaded the final stitched and cropped versions for your review. You can check them out at my Flickr account.
The results explain why some of us are so excited about New Media — the fact th at great content-creation tools are getting into the hands of the average user. Think about it. For $200 you can buy a 6MP digital camera. If you shoot 9 pictures of a scene for a panorama photograph, you have in essence, created a 9 x 6MP = 54 MP photograph. Umm…how many 54 Mega Pixel cameras can you find at the local Best Buy? The fascinating thing about New Media is that the tools and the techniques allow average people to do extraordinary things.
Tell me what you think of the panoramas!

We've talked a lot about getting real time information to your sales team, and the value of the insight that provides. There are a number of easy ways to do it within Eloqua, each of which fits a specific situation.
The easiest is to set up a real-time web visitor alert for when key buyers visit your website. This triggers automatically off of web behaviour and known data.
Another way is to send lead alerts based on web form submits by looking at the data in the web form and alerting the appropriate salesperson.
A third way is to set up daily or weekly lead reports to be emailed to each salesperson based on all the configuration options available.
In this post, I wanted to introduce another way - based on the configuration of a marketing automation program in program builder. This technique is useful if you want to define specific, and deeper, rules to define when a sales person is alerted - such as only alerting when a certain lead score is reached, or based on more detailed territory assignments.
To do this, set up a step in your marketing automation program to Send Process Member Report to Owner. This will send an email to the "owner" of the contact as they pass through that step. We'll get to how "owner" is defined in a second.
In the configuration options, you have a few different Report options you can choose from, each of which sends a slightly different type of Report. If you just want the details of the contact (your most likely option), just select "Contact Details". Other options send information on the contact's membership in programs and groups, their known colleagues, or other history information on them. A topic for another post (or exploration if you're interested).
To define the "ownership" of the contact, you can build an ownership rule based on any data you have available. In a decision rule prior to the alert step, edit the ownership rules for whichever path leads to the alert step. In this case, it would be the "Yes" path.
You'll then want to either build a new ownership rule or use an existing one. Ownership rules take data that you have available, such as territory, field sales owner, industry, or revenue range, and map it to individual users. The user it is mapped to will be the one receiving the alert.
With this set up, you are all ready to go. When a contact reaches that step, an alert will be sent to them with the information in the default contact view. Very useful for knowing when a lead passed a certain threshold, or a person made it to the end of a lead nurturing routine.

adme.dll Error Fix
What is adme.dll?
The module adme.dll is one of the component files accompanying the 02.00.00.765 version of the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. This file comes with the description MS DTC contact manager DLL.
This module provides managing functions in the contacts that are being utilized by the Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
The functions of the file adme.dll are applied in the MSDTC service which is responsible for organizing information processing separated into indivisible operations. This process called a transaction span various resource managers including messages queues, file systems, and databases. This service with the adme.dll file comes with the Windows 2000 and its later versions as well as runs on Windows NT 4.0.
The MSDTC service and the adme.dll file perform their functions of executing transaction and coordination procedures for components that are usually constructed in .NET and COM. COM and .NET the abbreviation for "network" are GTLDs (generic top-level domains) utilized on the domain name system of the Internet.
The adme.dll file is also executed with the upgrading of the MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server) 2.0 DTC to provide support for the IBM Informix and DB2 databases. The application of the update first requires an empty directory to be created on the system. The self-extracting exe file is run and the temporary directory is named. The adme.dll file accompanied by the files dtccm.dll, dtcxatm.dll, xolehlp.dll, enudtc.dll, and msdtcprx.dll is then unzipped into the directory by the program. The file adme.dll occupies a file size of about 67.34 kilobytes.
Recommended fix if you are experiencing adme.dll error messages:
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files contain computer code and resources that can be used by multiple programs at the same time. This uses less system memory and helps your computer system run more efficiently. DLL files give program developers the ability to reuse code to add features to several programs without the need to write new code for each program.
There are many programs that require DLL files to function properly so when one of them is damaged or missing it will cause program crashes and poor system performance.
To fix these problems the user must replace the damaged file with a valid working version. If a working version cannot be found the user may perform a reinstallation of their operating system.

A gallery: SuperMoon – Mar 19, 2011
I took these outside my back yard of the Super Moon! I hope this doesn't mean that we will have any more Tsunamis and Earth Quakes!
These were taken with My Nikon D90 with my Telephoto Lens. The photos were taken free hand (no Tripod) and with very little clean up on Lightroom. Mostly bring out more vivid contrast of the moon! One of the three photo's is what it looked like naturally with the slight yellow tint. The other two photo's I did some Temperature Correction to look light it did to the Human eye. Not sure why the camera was picking up the yellow tint! I love taking photo's of the moon. Very easy to do free hand, since it is so bright. I usually brace myself against something like a tree, car or wall. In this case I braced against the backyard wall of the house! If you have any moon shots, send a reply and include a link to your photo gallery!
A gallery: Longhorn Cavern – Burnet, TX
Took the family on a Day trip in the Texas Hill Country. We went to Burnet, TX to the Longhorn Caverns. We went on a 1.5 Mile hike underground through the Cavern's. I took these photo's with the stand-by camera, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7. This camera take very nice pictures!
I took a Business Trip to Las Vegas on March 7-8th. I didn't take my Nikon with me on this trip, as I didn't think I would get that many opportunities to take a lot of photo's. I am a firm believer, that the Camera doesn't make the Photographer. Good photo's are a combination of framing, proper lighting and artistic eye. So good pictures are taken with the best camera you have on hand. Better to take a good photo with camera you have with you, then not get the shot at all. In this case it was my iPhone 4.
You might have heard the term HDR photo. So what is High Dynamic Range (HDR)? Photographs taken in HDR are achieved by caputuring multiple photographs using a technique called exposure bracketing (I used my Nikon D90 and used exposure bracketing settings of -2, 0, +2 exposure). The photographs are then merged together using HDR Software. I use HDR Photo software called Photomatix Pro and then use Adobe Lightroom and/or PhotoShop to improve overall picture quality and modify the image to get the result I wanted. Click on HDR Photos to see examples of my HDR photo's.
Photoshop can do some amazing things to any photo you have taken. Using Photoshop is great, but you should always strive to take the best photo you can by properly setting the exposure, white balance, focus, aperature, and shutter speed. (I will include several tips on how to set those things in my tip's section in the future) But as you can see in the example shown above, with online gaming photoshop you can take an 'okay' or 'good' photo and turn it into a 'Better' Photo.
The 'Before' Photo was taken at the Grand Canyon in 2005 using my old Canon S100 (2.1MP). The Canon was my first digital camera and it could fit in your pocket. I took a lot of photo's with it and was very happy with it. Between 2000 & 2009 I pretty much just used the automatic setting on my camera when I took my pictures. In this photo at the Grand Canyon I just aimed, focused, and shot! As you can see the sky was washed out, the photo wasn't properly exposed, there wasn't very good detail. So this was a 'nice' or 'okay photo but it wasn't a Good or Great LoL Photo. It was in a word 'Plain'. So this is where PhotoShop comes in….
With the power of Photoshop, I was able to apply a couple of enhancements to the photo to arstically improve it. I had taken another photo of the sky the day when I was at the Grand Canyon. There had been some storm clouds that day and it was later in the day. In the 'After' photo the sky was removed and replaed with my cloudy sky. Since the sky was darker and there was darker clouds, the landscape needed to darkened or shaded, that would naturally occur if those clouds had been there. I used a seperate PhotoShop Layer and started painting a darker Exposure on just the portion of the gaming mountain's that I wanted to darken. This is where you take artistic license and determine where you think the shadow's would be, if those clouds had really been there. So in this case I subtracted two exposures (-2) to the paint brush when I changed I applied the shadows. In this photo I also removed a portion of the tree on the left of the picture, because I didn't like it in my photo. I also applied some additional effects to the final photo such as applying sharpening and more detail to the photo.
I don't normally use PhotoShop to make a lot of changes any longer unless I want to create new photo's using two or more sources to create something new, such as this photo demonstrates. Since my skills as a photographer have improved, I try to get my shot right first, then fix minor issues using PhotoShop, such as removing Power Lines, random tree's or other artifact's that couldn't be done at the source.

The Birth Of A Dream
By Tania Aebi
The years fly by, and here I am, 40 years old, with an ex-husband, two boys, and an unfulfilled dream. One son is 16, the other 13, my days of hands-on mothering and influence are almost over, and so is the time I have left to take my children on the adventure I'd always hoped we'd have together. That is, the family adventure I dreamed we'd have, before the complicated twists and turns of life got in the way.
Nicholas and Sam had always known that I had sailed around the world when I was 18 on a 26-foot sloop named Varuna. Over the years, they'd heard me talk about it – publicly, in the lectures and slide shows I was hired to present; and privately, as I told them (more than they would have liked, I'm sure) what I'd learned Out There. I told them about how life at sea engenders self-sufficiency and resourcefulness, about the commitment it takes to set a big goal and reach it, despite the sometimes-fearsome hurdles that block our paths. The boys knew that I'd met their father Out There; that he'd circumnavigated as well, and for the second half of my young trip around the world, he and I would meet in far-flung harbors, work on our boats together, and then carry on separately until the next landfall. And of course the boys knew about the book, Maiden Voyage, which I'd written after coming home, which chronicled the whole experience. To them, the trip I'd taken as a teenager was a reality, sure – I mean, they had read the book and seen all the pictures, the newspapers, and the magazine stories -- but it was a long time ago, and very, very far from their reality.
|Tania and the boys live in Vermont, surrounded by trees and nature
My kids lived a quiet, normal life in our house tucked away in the Vermont forest, as distant from boats and the sea as you can imagine, and they were perfectly content as armchair adventurers. I even admit to being a comfortable armchair dweller myself, especially over the past few years, happily nesting within the patterns of my single-parenting routines, with my cozy little house in the woods, with my small-town community, my chickens and organic garden, with my work; I'm a writer and columnist, run a couple of chartered flotillas in different countries every year, and have renovated a couple of houses for investment. All was well, except for one increasingly nagging thing: I knew in my bones that time was running out to take my children on a voyage of discovery, something my ex-husband and I used to talk about as though it would certainly happen. There was a huge, fascinating world over the horizon. We wanted our kids to see it, and for a while we wanted to see it with them, as a family. But it never happened.
But fast forward now, well away from those younger dreams and hopes. Two years ago, it hit me that they'd faded from my view almost entirely, and that I was almost out of time. At that point, I'd been divorced for six years and the boys' dad and I found ourselves in disagreement about almost everything we discussed, except of course the shared priority of our boys and our commitment to spending time with them on a structured and regular basis. Their dad lived two miles away, which made predictable schedules workable for us both. But I needed his help and co-operation – no easy task -- in creating a plan that would take us out of our established routine and that could rekindle a bit of our old dream, and make it happen.
When the seed for all this began to germinate, my first theoretical brainstorm depended on me finding a cheap boat, taking off a year, and crossing the Caribbean and the South Pacific with the kids. The catch was how their father would react to hearing he wouldn't be seeing them for so long, not unless he wanted to fly in for remote island visits every once in a while. It didn't take much for me to realize I'd have faced another storm alone in the Gulf Stream over engaging in this discussion. A little more diplomacy and consideration were in order if any plan was to grow any legs, hence the first ingenious and articulated proposal.
|In the forests around her house, Tania collects and dries chanterelle mushrooms.
It was inspired by a book called My Old Man and the Sea, and if you haven't read it and like a well-written sea tale, then by all means, fetch yourself a copy and enjoy. In it, a father and son build a boat together, then go around Cape Horn together, then write the book together. It is a co-authored account of a great sailing adventure as well as a beautiful father-son story. I started thinking about copycatting them, rounding the Horn with my boys, co-authoring a book with them, titling it My Old Maid and the Sea. My first book was called Maiden Voyage, so what could be more perfect?
The people I ran it by said it was a cool plan, so I thought it was, too. One even informed me the best time to round the Cape falls between March 7-14. "Guaranteed calm," he said. "I heard this from a guy who works one of those charter boats that take people out to the Horn." I started planning an itinerary around these dates.
In order to involve the boys' father, I thought Nicholas, Sam, and I could get the boat south, he could join us in Punta Arenas, Chile, and we could bury our differences long enough to do Cape Horn to the Falkland Islands together. Then, he and the boys could bring the boat north to the Caribbean. Our one adventure as a family could be the big one. Oh, the memories we'd all have! What a gift for the kids! I felt myself getting carried off by the possibilities. Excited because I had a plan that included their dad, I shared the idea with him, and his reaction was nothing like that of the other people I'd told.
"Are you out of your mind?" he asked. "There's a reason why people don't sail down there. It's cold. It's windy. It's wet, and no way am I doing that boring trip north. No way."
What do you do when you've thought up the most excellent plan and the person upon whom depends the success of pulling it all through says, "no way?" No discussion. No way. Well, you might start off really mad and frustrated, rehashing every last example of how an ex-husband can ruin your life. Then, when you calm down, you might move on toward thinking about all the reasons why he could be right.
First, you'd need a really good boat, which would cost way more than you'd want to, or be able to, afford because a cheap boat is the only part of the plan that can't change. Secondly, it would be a major endeavor involving lots of suffering above and beyond the mere prospect of being cooped up on a small vessel with somebody you divorced because of incompatibility. And lastly, maybe the lessons gained from some suffering were something the kids would learn on their own, without Mom trying to convince everyone that an adventure is better in hindsight if it is also an ordeal, a masochistic philosophy that smacked a bit too much of my own father's influence. God forbid.
What was a good alternative then? Maybe a Great Circle Atlantic route? But, the timing, season-wise, would be tricky to fit into a school year, and it wasn't exactly the trip of my dreams. So, what about back to Plan A, the South Pacific to Australia? The South Pacific was the place I remembered with longing from my own trip, the one place I'd always meant to return to, until being temporarily derailed by the lure of Cape Horn and a good book title.
Yes, most of the daydreams featured a mountain towering over an anchorage, a waterfall slashing through the emerald green cover of tropical vegetation. Beneath it, a sailboat is floating on a crystal blue surface, a short swim away from the sparkling sand beach with swaying coconut palms. The gentle trade winds are ruffling the flat lagoon waters promising wind for the journey ahead, the coral heads undulating below the surface, dark blobs surrounded by colorful fish. Penetrating the dream a little deeper, the kids are jack-knifing off the deck, snorkeling, catching langoustes, fishing, meeting kids on other boats and ashore, discovering as much of the world that can fit into one school year.
The South Pacific. It all became crystal clear to me, and I could see exactly what needed to happen: I would take the boat and the kids for the first five months of the voyage, from the Caribbean to French Polynesia. Then their father would take over, and take the boat and kids for the second five months, from French Polynesia to Australia. Already, I felt a maternal panic to think about being apart from Nicholas and Sam for such an extended period. But in the end, I resolved, it would be worth the world to me to be able to spend my own time with them in such an intense way, and I knew what the experience of the whole voyage would mean in their lives. The hurdle was their dad. I needed to convince him to join the plan.
So, one day just over a year ago, I summoned up my nerve, and presented the whole idea to him, while he listened soberly. I even offered to buy the boat myself. Then, on top of that, I offered to do all the work that would be needed to prepare it, and outfit it. All he would need to do is show up and take over when it was his turn. I reminded him about how much he'd loved cruising when we were younger – "My God, I can't believe it," I said, "but that was 20 years ago now. Perhaps this is not exactly how we imagined things working out, but it's still not too late to make a trip happen for the kids, in a slightly different version of our old dream. And think about how it would be to spend those months together with your own boys. It's not too late for that…"
He stayed silent a long time, looking dark and put upon, as he often does with me. I sat quietly, waiting. Waiting. Not knowing which way this would go, the kitchen clock ticked, and ticked, and ticked. Then he turned to me.
"Alright," he said. "I'll do it."

Hanoi, Vietnam -- "Oasis of Silence", a collection of 64 black-and-white photos about Theravada Buddhism taken by Swiss photographer Beat Presser in Southeast Asia, is now on display in Vietnam.
At the age of 19 Beat Presser was travelling through Southeast Asia and had a car accident in Thailand. He was healed from a serious spine injury by monks in a Buddhist monastery, and he vowed to do something in return, should he become the photographer he intended to be.
Between 2000 and 2004 Beat Presser came back to live in monasteries in Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Sri Lanka, and travelled extensively, capturing the essence of Buddhism with his lens. Oasis of Silence, a photographic art book first published in Germany in 2005, is the first result.
"Oasis of Silence" features the holy atmosphere of Buddhism, the beauty of the spirit. He took these photos in Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka and Thailand, and now brings them to Vietnam.
At the invitation of the Embassy of Switzerland, the exclusive photo exhibition will be held from March 29 to April 18, 2008 at Art Vietnam Gallery, 7 Nguyen Khac Nhu, Hanoi.
On March 28, the exhibition will be opened by the Ambassador of Switzerland, H.E. Mr. Jean-Hubert Lebet, in the presence of the photographer Beat Presser and a gathering of distinguished guests.
While in Vietnam, Beat Presser will not only introduce photos to Vietnamese audiences and take photos of Buddhists in the country but conduct a workshop for professional photographers from March 31 to April 10, 2008 in cooperation with the Vietnamese Association of Photography and Art Vietnam Gallery.
Participants will explore their personal "Oasis of Silence", capturing their own places of spiritual retreat and regeneration with their cameras.
The workshop will be followed by an exhibition of the results at Art Vietnam Gallery, from 18 to 25 April 2008.
The photo art book "Oasis of Silence" will be published in a special Vietnam edition in English, accompanied by a Vietnamese translation insert. The book will be available at Art Vietnam Gallery.

Hi Pat,
The new sofa looks very nice. Your little house looks very cozy, I could spend hours looking at everything and still not see it all.
Is the dollhouse on top lighted? I always enjoy seeing your pictures.

I like your sofa very much -and your lovely room. May I ask how your lamps are plugged in as the sofa isn't against a wall. I see no cords. I only ask as I really like to see a sofa/chair arrangement as you have, but I've never figured out how to have the reading lamps without electric cords to trip me. And the more photos the better - your house is beautiful!

I want to move into your house, from the bathroom to the yard, it's gorgeous. First, the new sofa is excellent, a classic design and color that goes perfectly with everything. I disagree that you need an area rug. The wood floors add to the authentic look, and unless you have help with cleaning, they are much easier to maintain. I just took up a bunch of rugs that had seen better days, and because I don't want to vacuum or start tripping over rugs again, I'm keeping my easy-to-maintain wood floors uncovered. A quick broom or dust mopping, voila, sparkly clean, and so much healthier. Just some food for thought, but you are probably younger and not thinking like I do in my 7Os.

Oh gosh I like your couch. When the kids moved out the last time, we bought a new couch and all new recliners. Then Kyle started staying the night and sleeping on the couch. Let's just say I'll get a new one when I know that won't happen anymore. I have hard wood floors that we have covered. Hard Wood and dog toe nails just don't mix.

20. How should I drink Kangen water™?
Keep in mind that water by itself is non-nutritious, and you must eat meals with plenty of vegetables. Another way to judge whether you are drinking the optimum amount of Kangen water™ is to check that you have good stools. Many Kangen water™ drinkers have said that only a glass in the morning was effective when they were physically weakened. Body conditions can differ greatly from one person to another, so the way of drinking Kangen water™ may not be specified in terms of volume. It is essential that everyone recognizes his/her own condition and determines the best way to drink. Instead of drinking or not drinking when you feel like it, try to make it a habit to drink Kangen water™ regularly and lead a regular life.

26. How do I use Kangen Water™ for beauty care?
Winter is the coldest season of the year and the air becomes extremely dry. Skin care becomes especially important at this time. If you do not take care of your skin properly, you will suffer from dry/rough skin, chilblain and so on. Bodily fluids play an important role in maintaining your body temperature. It naturally also affects health, and since it is important to maintain the pH level of your skin between 5.0 and 6.0, please spray acidic water*1 on your skin at regular intervals, or use acidic water to make your bath during the winter when it is difficult to control the moisture of your skin. We also recommend that you eat foods and fruits that include high levels of vitamin C, A and E. Treating your skin with beauty water will let you enjoy life even more by giving you smooth and youthful skin.
Note: (*)
1) Acidic water: Acidic ionized water produced by electrolysis with a pH between 4.0 and 6.5. Its astringent effect is certified by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Excellent for skincare.
27. What is beauty water (acidic water) and strong acidic water?
Acidic water has a pH of around 5.5-6.5 and strong acidic water has a pH of lower than 2.7. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has certified acidic water as an astringent*1,2. Since strong acidic water or "hypochlorous acid water" is known to have bactericidal effects, we have been applying for certification from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Strong acidic water was certified as a food additive in Japan in June 2002.
Note: (*)
Astringent: Acidic water works as an astringent for toning you skin.
Astringent water: Refers to acidic beauty water. Has an astringent effect.
28. What is the proper amount/method of drinking Kangen Water™?
Although there are no specific settings, the LeveLuk has a switch that allows you to produce water at three different pH levels between pH8.5 to pH9.5. For healthy individuals, the selection depends on the age, such as 8.5 for children and 9.5 for adults. In the end, however, it is up to individuals to choose the pH of their drinking water.
If the purpose of drinking Kangen Water™ is to alleviate various chronic illnesses, we recommend water with pH 9.5 (delivering electrolytic water with high content of dissolved hydrogen and a low content of hydrogen ions). The idea is not to drink as much Kangen Water™ as possible. It is ideal to have 1-1.5 cups of water first thing in the morning by pouring water into a cup with the spout to avoid unnecessary mixing of oxygen from the air. Then, drink in small portions throughout the day so that you drink over a liter (ideally 2 liters) of Kangen Water™. We recommend that you take a bottle of Kangen Water™ with you when leaving the house.
29. What is the relationship between the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and pH?
The oxidization reduction potential is the electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization.)
The ORP* also represents the reduction capacity to attract active oxygen. The optimum levels for the human body is between -150– -400mV. The ORP is also closely related to pH levels. When the pH increases, the ORP also increases. It is also possible to increase ORP through electrolysis. The value depends greatly on the original water supply. An ideal ORP may not be achieved if the original water has a pH lower than 7.0. Please make sure to examine the properties of your original water, for failure to do so may lead to inexplicable errors.
1) ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential): Electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). This process is also known as deoxidization. ODR is measures in terms of negative mVs. The ideal ODR level for the human body is said to be between -150mV and -400mV. This is commonly called anti-oxidation.
30. How should I consume Kangen Water™ in order to improve my health?
People need to drink more than 0.7 gallons of water a day in order to live. The large intestine absorbs water supplied by liquids and moisture in foods consumed by the people. To maximize the health benefits gained from drinking Kangen Water™, drink more than 0.5 gallons throughout the day in small portions, without boiling it. The most effective way is to drink over 0.15 gallons of Kangen Water™ first thing in the morning prior to breakfast. Not only does the first drink in the morning replenish the water lost during the night through breathing and sweating, but the power of Kangen Water™ speeds up your metabolism1, improving your health, alleviating constipation, fatigue and even a hangover. Please consult a physician or pharmacist before using if you are receiving medical treatment or notice any abnormalities in your health.
Note: (*)
1) Metabolism: The process of eliminating old supplies and replacing them with new ones. The process in living organisms where necessary substances are taken in – while the unnecessary substances are discharged.
31.What is the proper method of strong Kangen Water™ strong acidic water, and how long do they last?
Among the five types of water produced by LeveLuk, the two types for drinking (purified water/Kangen Water™ ) can go bad easily due to the container or temperature, because chlorine, which works as a bactericide, has been removed from the water. For this reason, greater care must be given to the storing of purified water and Kangen Water™. Please keep these two types of water in the refrigerator for no more than 4-5 days and replace the water in your take-out bottle everyday. For water used for domestic purposes, including acidic water, strong acidic water and strong Kangen Water™, less care is required, but we recommend changing your supply once a week.
To store, please place the water in a lightproof container*, fill it to the very top to avoid unnecessary contact with air, and store it in a cool, dark place (the refrigerator is ideal). Note: (*)
1) Lightproof container: Container that keeps light out.
32.What is the most effective way of using beauty care water (acidic water)?
As we mentioned before, acidic water has been approved * by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as an astringent. You can keep your skin moist by spraying it on to your skin when the air is dry. Note: (*)
1) Astringent effect: Tones skin 2) Acidic water can be used as an astringent for toning your skin.
33. What is the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)?
The oxidization reduction potential is the electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). Kangen Water™ must have a negative ORP1 in order to be considered good, especially for drinking. ORP is the strength to bond with active oxygen2 reducing power, and can be measured through electronic designs in the hardware. Although a negative value is desirable for deoxidization power, the actual value varies from region to region. For example, in Osaka city, tap water records an ORP of +580-600mV, but after using LeveLuk, the ORP becomes pH9.5 and records the ideal from -150mV to -400mV. When the original water supply's ORP increases, the ORP of Kangen Water™ moves in direct proportion. On the Japanese archipelago, LeveLuk is capable of producing water with negative levels of ORP at pH9.5 even where original water supply marks the highest positive levels of ORP.
Note: (*)
1) Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP): Electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidization). This process is also known as deoxidization. ODR is measures in terms of negative mVs. The ideal ODR level for the human body is said to be between -150mV and -400mV. 2) Active oxygen: Also known as free radicals. Medically it is known to enter the body when one's daily rhythm of life or diet goes astray when under stress. It is the type of oxygen that causes illness and aging. Maintaining a daily rhythm will help keep this oxygen from entering your body!
34.Why doesn't Kangen Water™ always turn the pH testing solution blue (purple)?
Kangen Water™ produces a yellow/green color (neutral reading) in pH testing solutions even if it made on the setting for pH 9.5. This phenomenon is often observed in areas where well water is used. Even water that tests neutral has been through the electrolytic process and has the benefits. This is caused by the carbon dioxide in well water, which is produced from decomposing organic matter. Carbon dioxide readily dissolves in water, making it acidic. Water with carbon dioxide can be electrolyzed, however, the carbon dioxide is neutralized during the process. Therefore the water tests neutral on the pH scale.
Driving out the carbon dioxide from Kangen Water™ will result in the Kangen Water™ expressing blue in pH test liquid. When measuring the pH using a pH testing solution, place a few drops in the flask before pouring in freshly made Kangen Water™. There is carbon dioxide in your Kangen Water™ if the color turns blue initially, but eventually turns yellow.
35. What is the cluster theory of deoxidized water?
Approximately 15 years ago, with the help of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)* appliance, it was confirmed that water does not exist in single unit molecules, but forms a molecular population (cluster)* out of approximately 13 water molecules. These clusters are constantly repeating an aggregation-disaggregation process. The quality of water depends on the size of its clusters. For example, small clusters have active molecules that increase the capacity of water to dissolve elements (solubility), let elements pass through (permeability), and let heat pass through (conduction). Electrolysis causes the water clusters to break, and Kangen Water™ has clusters made up of five to six water molecules resulting in a lower molecular weight. This is approximately half of that of tap water (12-15 water molecules/cluster) and is most beneficial for your health.
Note: (*)
1) Nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus (NMR):An apparatus that utilizes electromagnetic waves to measure/determine the molecular population in water. It is used in research on the composition of matter as well as in medical fields.
2) Molecular cluster: Water molecules stick together to form a grape-like structure. Approximately thirteen water molecules form a molecular population which is known as a cluster.
36. What is the white fogginess in Kangen Water™?
The white fogginess apparent in Kangen Water™ is simply a result of hydrogen gas being released through electrolysis, and does not pose a problem. If you rest the glass for a while the white fogginess should disappear. Research focused on dissolved hydrogen released through electrolysis of water was presented at The Japan Functional Water Association Meeting* in late December of 2002. It reported that Kangen Water™ is effective in controlling the oxidation of lipids in the body.
It also reported that dissolved hydrogen* present in the colloidal* state has a higher activity level than active hydrogen4 produced at the instance of reaction. Based on this report, the need for broader data collection and further scientific analysis was recognized. Note: (*)
1) The Japan Functional Water Association Meeting The Japan Functional Water Association Workshop was established on September 13, 2002. In December of the same year, the first Japan Functional Water Association Academic Convention was held in Tokyo. 2) Dissolved hydrogen Most commonly measured using a diaphragm polalograph-type dissolved hydrogen electrode. The solubility of dissolved hydrogen is about 1.5mg/L. 3) Colloidal: Low molecular weight (colloidal) particles dispersed in liquid. Each particle is between 1mμ and 0.1μ. The majority of substances that make up organisms are colloidal and have complex movements.
4) Active hydrogen: Professor Sanetaka SHIRAHATA of Kyushu University announced the "active hydrogen deoxidized water theory" on removing the active hydrogen in Kangen Water™. Related academic circles are debating whether or not active hydrogen exists in a stable state, given that it is an unstable free radical.
37. How do we begin drinking Kangen Water™?
It is most common to begin by setting a low pH* 5 level (between pH8 and pH9.0), and gradually increasing the amount of intake. After continuing regular intake for about two weeks, gradually adjust the pH level and amount of intake (between pH9.0-pH9.5) based on your bodily needs and physical condition. The Kangen Water™ should be as fresh as possible. For children or seniors, set the pH level at an even lower level upon starting, and gradually increase it as the body adjusts to the current pH level. In the case of infants (until about a year old), since breast milk or milk is the only thing they consume, the intestinal movement is generally different from adults, and the use of Kangen Water™ is not encouraged until the infant begins to consume more sophisticated foods. In any case, Kangen Water™ should not be used to make formula or powdered milk for infants.
Note: (*)
pH: The logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen-ion concentration in gram atoms per liter. It is used as a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0-14 (where 7 is neutral).
38. What are the benefits of consuming Kangen Water™ ?
Although Kangen Water™ has been recognized as being beneficial for the stomach and intestines, depending on how it is consumed, and on the individual's physical state, it is possible (although uncommon) to experience constipation or diarrhea a few days to a few weeks after first starting to drink it. In herbal terms this is known as the Mengen effect1. The two conditions are particularly similar in that both cases, the remedy is so effective that it has a negative effect. If this occurs, the amount of intake should be reduced to half or a fourth of the previous amount until symptoms clear. Once symptoms have subsided, it is okay to resume intake. However, increasing the amount of intake with not alleviate the symptoms. Since halting intake completely may also affect the body, it is best to continue intake, but in lesser amounts. If there are no signs of improvement, please consult a doctor or pharmacist. Note: (*)
1) Mengen effect: Your body may start hurting several hours or a day after you receive chiropractic. The technical term for this is the Mengen effect. It is a natural physical response, where the body tries to go back to normal after muscles and bones have been adjusted.
39. What about differences in quality of raw water?
The type of original tap water used affects the quality of Kangen Water™ and acidic water produced by electrolysis. Although water produced with municipal city water is not affected, the efficiency of electrolysis drops when well water is used since it tends to hold a lot of free carbon dioxide*, as well as in cases where water comprising only a small amount of electrolytic minerals is used. Conversely, in cases where the water has excess minerals, the taste may be affected, or Kangen Water™ produced may be too high in pH level.
Since the water pressure of the faucet affects the production of water, it is important to confirm that genuine Kangen Water™ is being produced by regularly checking that it is set at the correct pH level, and checking the bubbles. In order to take into account the differences in the quality of the original tap water, please run a check on a daily basis. Note: (*)
Free Carbon Dioxide: Carbon Dioxide found in water. Some people prefer the taste of water with carbon dioxide, which tends to have lower pH levels. Water with less carbon dioxide is said to be better for the health. Japanese sake tastes better when there is a moderate amount of carbon dioxide in it.
40. Can Kangen Water™ be used to take medication?
Using a glass of Kangen Water™ rather than tap water to take medication is not really a big problem. However, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare gives the following directions: 1) Do not take medication with machine-produced water,
2) do not drink machineproduced water if you have anaciditas*, and
3) seek help from a doctor or pharmacist if you feel an abnormality in the body, or continued intake does not appear to improve symptoms. This is because the effectiveness of medication using Kangen Water™ has not yet been tested.
The pH level of stomach acids is about 1.8pH, and medication is prescribed in accordance to this pH level in order for it to take effect past the stomach. Therefore, to ensure full effect of the medication, we recommend leaving some time between taking the medication and drinking Kangen Water™. Note: (*)
1) Anaciditas: This symptom, also known as gastric acholrhydria, is found in people with a stomach acidity higher than the average human pH level of 1.8pH. This makes it harder for them to digest food. These people should not drink alkaline Kangen Water™.

Dwight Howard was cited as a key example of a player not wanting to play alongside Kobe Byrant in Los Angeles but the Rockets center has claimed that he did not fear the Black Mamba.
The recent ESPN article that alleged players have avoided playing for the Lakers due to the personality of Bryant has sparked major discussion over what kind of impact the shooting guard still has to the success of the Los Angeles franchise.
When Howard left the Lakers as a free agent, his relationship with the Black Mamba was deemed to be one of the central reasons to his exit but Howard has now openly claimed that he did not fear Bryant during, and after his time in LA.
Howard had no fear of Bryant
Speaking to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, Howard explained the key reason he left the Lakers and it wasn't Bryant's influence.
He said: "I didn't leave LA because I was afraid of Kobe Bryant, I went to a good situation for myself. I can't change people's opinions, but I did what I had to do for myself."

- Lakers president denies Kobe Bryant stopped Carmelo Anthony deal
There have been no shortage of articles highlighting the rift between Howard and Bryant whilst in Los Angeles and the discussion was recently re-ignited when Lakers president Jeanie Buss blasted any NBA star not willing to play for the storied franchise.
Buss explained: "Any free agent that would be afraid to play with Kobe Bryant is probably a loser, and I'm glad they wouldn't come to the team."
Phil Jackson who is currently the President of the New York Knicks basketball operations was another man who believed that Howard shied away from responsibility on Los Angeles due to his poor relationship with Kobe.
Howard may have in fact left Los Angeles due to Bryant but it doesn't mean that the 6 ft 11 center feared the Black Mamba.
Who wants to play with Kobe?
The shoot first guard's style of play may put of free agents but the possibility of winning a championship in the purple and gold of the Lakers should be enticing enough to want to be a part of the franchise.
Many superstars of the league who were rumoured to have a possibility of entertaining the Lakers as a future team have come to the defence of Bryant, both Paul George and Carmelo Anthony have stated that they were not put off joining LA due to the presence of Bryant.
Howard however did not deny it was a reason behind his exit, simply that he didn't fear Kobe, much to the surprise of many.
Lakers head coach Byron Scott was also asked about the situation between the pair and he theorised: "My outside perspective is Kobe is a real serious guy and wants to win championships, I don't know if Dwight is that serious about it. I know No. 24 is. I think that probably was the clash."
Howard declined to comment about Scott's thoughts on the matter.
Howard went on to say: "It's over with now. There's no need to continue to talk about it. It happened. We played together for a year, The whole team was injured, didn't really get an opportunity to do what we all set out to do."
He continued: "Things happen. Life happens. I think everybody needs to move forward from the situation and worry about their respective teams."

The nightlife scene in Bali is a worked of its own. To fully have a handle on it you'd need a fulltime staff, that's why I asked the Beat Magazine to let me post their bi-weekly Update.
Last night I wanted to see what was going on in 2 parts of town. Seminyak nightlife kicks off late, so pacing myself was important. Starting off with a lovely ayam taliwang (23,000rp) at Cabe Rawit on Jl. Kunti, I was the only customer at 8pm. Cabe Rawit is usually quiet, so nothing to report.
Riding around the Jl. Kartika Plaza area, there were groups of Asian and western family tourists. The really busy area is around Discovery Mall, although that is a shopping area, rather than a nightlife area. Stadium Cafe was quiet.
Back in Seminyak I rode around the Jl. Petitenget / Jl. Oberoi area, trying to gauge how busy some of the better restaurants were. There were tourists out, though not in huge numbers. Passing Zappaz bar on Jl. Oberoi, a rock band caught my ear, so I pulled over a drank a beer. The band was impressive, good guitar players, piano players and female singer! The owner got on the piano himself at the break. This place attracted a tourist crowd in their 40's-50's, with a scatterring of younger people. There were also a handful of Indonesian patrons. Total people, about 25. Zappaz is ideally placed to carch the people from the Oberoi hotel and Resor Seminyak.
Thursday night is Sexy Dancer night at Galaxy. That's just around the corner from my house, so I can catch that anytime.
DeJaVu is a very popular lounge bar, facing the ocean, on Jl. Arjuna, at the end of Jl. Double Six. I got there at 11.45pm and stayed 45 minutes. The place had probably 25 customers, mostly westerners and a few Indonesians. Usually packed, this place seemd very quiet. One thing that annoyed me was how the waitstaff tend to hang onto your change. This is not the only place where this happens. They must figure that several thousand rupiah means nothing, to someone who can buy drinks with a 100,000rp note. I drank Coke as I didn't want to be draging today.
Down in Kuta, the street was packed with motorbikes outside MBarGo. 'There must be something happening tonight', I thought. There was. About 150 Australians, male and female, drinking, with a handful dancing, no Indonesians in sight. Idul Fitri means most Muslim Indonesians take off for home and last night it was apparent. The Aussies appeared to be having a good time anyhow.
For people who want to check out the nightlife in Bali, you have to stay up late. Places like DeJaVu only get busy around midnight, Double Six opens at midnight. One strategy is to drink water or Coke. That's what I did, a small water costing 13,000rp in DeJavu. If you are a nightlife hound, it really limits what else you can do in Bali, as you'll be exhausted the next day, and sunset is around 6.30pm.
Jl. Dhyana Pura used to be more of a draw for nightlife, but 2 of the most popular places closed, Spy Bar and Liquid. Now there is a line of gay bars (Kwin, Q Bar, Kudos, and others). For gay travelers you'll find an accepting scene in Seminyak.
