(No, I'm sorry, it's not "canteloupe.")
A lot of what we've written on our blog so far is about details. Before we did anything else, we wanted to make it clear that Keith's method of research is profoundly dishonest; that she is willing to distort, fabricate and manipulate as it lends false credence to her polemic against veganism. Suffice it to say, she has obliged us to do a careful, line by line reading of The Vegetarian Myth; there is simply too much wrong with this book to do anything else!
But, for the moment, I would like to take a step back from the details and talk about a particular pachyderm hanging out in that corner over there. He's wearing a monocle and spats and makes you trade hours of your life for Illuminati tickets. Yes, let's talk about capitalism, baby. People might misunderstand…but that's a part of life.
Description vs. Manifestation
"Capitalism" is something of a lazy word to throw around. Like any theory it doesn't really exist outside of the papers (or blogs) upon which we write its name. Capitalism, like communism, fascism, socialism, totalitarianism, etc. is a vision and an ideal. None of these theories exist in the real world, but would-be governors attempt to prise them from the minds of theorists and overlay them upon civilian populations. Naturally, there are always problems in translation. The unconscionable brutality of Stalinism barely resembles Marx's hopeful tirade on an inevitable era of social equality, peace and cooperation.
So What Is Capitalism?
Theorists have come up ways to refine their definitions of abstractions like "capitalism" or "communism" by applying funny adjectives to them such as "late stage," "techno" or "state monopoly." Sometimes these terms are useful but I think it's easiest if I just get to the point and tell you exactly what I mean. When I speak of capitalism, I am describing a vast set of economic relationships whose functionality is predicated on their ability to expand. The method of the capitalist system is to extract utility (use value) from resources (anything and everything) in order to maximize profit (monetary gain). This results in the accumulation of capital (money or resources) which is reinvested in order to extract utility from more resources. The drive to maximize profits corollates with an ever-increasing rate of resource extraction. This is expansion.
This cycle is never-ending. When it stops or slows down we end up with depressions, recessions and various other colorful euphemisms for "systemic failure." The logical engine of capitalism drives toward the location of more resources and it always extract as much use value from them as possible. The ways in which this is problematic do not often occur to people until they think of ways in which workers can be seen as resources, rainforests can be seen as resources, non-human animals can be seen as resources, and so on.
So what does this have to do with Lierre Keith, paleolithic diets and veganism?
This fundamental mode of exploitation, which I argue is central to capitalism, is antithetical to the vegan ethic. Throughout The Vegetarian Myth Lierre Keith makes the assertion that what vegans cite as exploitation is merely the way the world works and that we should accept it. This opens some interesting ethical doors.
When Is(n't) It Exploitation?
If we are comfortable with Keith's proposition that killing non-human animals for food is not exploitative, then what would qualify? Certainly not the condition of the working class under capitalism, which could be easily understood as a kinder, gentler form of species-on-species predation. After all, employing an undocumented labor force that at times begins to resemble slavery is downright magnanimous compared to cutting to the chase and eating their bodies. However much green spin is put onto animal husbandry, it entails rape, castration and murder one hundred percent of the time. As malignantly oppressive as the modern institutions of wage slavery are, they have at least been ameliorated through labor and civil rights struggles to the point that workers have some degree of control over their own bodies (although we can see this being eroded through the criminalization of undocumented workers). To what natural law is Keith appealing that she thinks that we ought not do this?
If domestication and murder qualify as "holy" (23-24) then what on Earth doesn't? The truth is, Keith has packed some abominably exploitative and speciesist assumptions into a Trojan Horse made to resemble ecofeminism and deep ecology. Wishy-washy spirituality notwithstanding, her project is to legitimize the use of nonhuman animal bodies as resources to be exploited. She attempts to obscure this by assuring the reader of that we are simply "eaten as well as eaters…tak[ing] our place at the table" (23). Keith would have us believe that we are not domesticators, but equal participants in domestication. Through some very convoluted rhetorical gymnastics and an anecdote about getting snow down her shirt on the way to feed her chickens, she arrives at the conclusion that domesticated animals are getting a better deal than the humans that eat their flesh. She makes the incredible claim that we are co-evolving with the nonhumans we domesticate in the exact same fashion that any other predator does with their prey. Nowhere does she make mention of the fact that humans wield ultimate biopower over their domesticated charges, binding them to rape racks and managing their (d)evolution so as to rear strains that are unable to stand. After all, they're not supposed to.
Speciesism and Die-Offs
Once again we are left with this question: if Keith has no problem with managing the biological evolution of animals in such a way as to suit her whims, then why not manage the social evolution of people for the same reasons? The reason, of course, is that Keith is a speciesist who treats "Others" in a way she would never treat humans. Or maybe she would treat them that way. When one considers that Keith's diet would require a mass die-off (she uses the colorful euphemism, "energy descent" [259]) to be sustainable, one wonders exactly what it is she's proposing. The last time anything like the food-system she envisions existed, there were 90 million people spread throughout the Americas, many of whom did depend on "the ten-thousand year rupturing gash of agriculture" (271) to survive. With 300 million in the United States alone, where are we going to find the land to make this fantasy into reality? How do we attain this primitivist Eden when, to feed those suicidally noble New England cows Keith won't shut up about, it would take 390,000,000 square miles of land? Oh, and that's when you're looking at a diet supplemented with grains. Suddenly, soylent green's starting to look kind of viable.
I didn't find an answer to these questions in The Vegetarian Myth. They weren't asked. I found a lot of starry-eyed paens to animals that are totally okay with being raped and murdered as long as you pray over them first. I found a lot of fetishistic portrayals of non-industrial indigenous cultures whose lifeways Keith wants to appropriate. I found absolutely incessant invocation of a long-lost green utopia that Keith rhetorically hides from, tantalizes with and re-discovers for the reader. I found a lot of dumped quotes from Derrick Jensen, because he published her book. I found a disturbing amount of passages where Lierre Keith actually tries to write from the perspective of a voice inside the reader's head. This book is actually a triumph of programming in the way it tries to seize on the reader's perceived insecurities, works to break her down through a steady rhythm of emotional needling and then, when she's at her lowest point, present Weston Price and Derrick Jensen cloaked in the language of woo-woo spirituality. This book is, as a good friend quipped, "fucking bonkers." In my next post, we'll get deep in to just how fucking bonkers it gets.

Hide Forgot
Multiple flaws in Stronghold 4.0 PHP
A flaw in the strip_tags function in PHP, commonly used by PHP scripts to
prevent cross-site scripting attacks by removing HTML tags from
user-supplied form data. HTML tags can, in some cases, be passed intact
through the strip_tags function, which may allow a cross-site scripting
attack. (CVE-2004-0595)
A flaw if the memory_limit configuration setting is enabled in PHP. If a
remote attacker could force the PHP interpreter to allocate more memory
than the memory_limit setting before script execution begins, then the
attacker may be able to supply the contents of a PHP hash table remotely.
This hash table could then be used to execute arbitrary code in the context
of the server. (CVE-2004-0594)
Various flaws, including possible information disclosure, double free, and
negative reference index array underflow in the deserialization code of
PHP. PHP applications may use the unserialize function on untrusted user
data, which could allow a remote attacker to gain access to memory or
potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2004-1019)
Flaws in shmop_write, pack, and unpack PHP functions. These functions are
not normally passed user-supplied data, so would require a malicious PHP
script to be exploited. (CVE-2004-1018)
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem
described in this bug report. This report is therefore being
closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information
on the solution and/or where to find the updated files,

Here's a round-up of the ten best free downloads you can find elsewhere on the internet this week.
Phoenix —'Lisztomania (Live)'
Phoenix have just released eight live from Sydney free MP3 downloads on their website, and this is one of the lucky ones to make the cut. So go download the songs, sing along with the crowd, and pretend you're moshing at a gig in Sydney.
The National —'Bloodbuzz Ohio'
The anticipation is building for the May release of High Violet, the Brookyln band's fifth studio album. After giving us a taste of it with their performance of 'Terrible Love' on the Jimmy Fallon Show a few weeks back, The National have now made the ever-so-addictive 'Bloodbuzz Ohio', as well as the new album artwork, available for download.
Jaill —'Always Wrong'
A hot act that came out of the new music madness that is South By Southwest, these Milwaukee rockers mix a bit of garage grunge with some psychedelic flare.
Mountain Man —'Animal Tracks'
Even if you're not a country music fan, this soft, twangy ballad about love and nature that appreciates the beauty of the woods, down to "the bright baby eyes of a chickadee" will make you feel blissfully warm inside.
Fall Out Boy feat. Kanye West, Travis McCoy, Lupe Fiasco, Paul Wall, Skinhead Rob, Tyga, and Lil Wayne —'Arms Race (Remix)'
Despite Fall Out Boy recently announcing an 'indefinite break', one of the band's biggest hits is still making rounds amongst blogs Web-wide. This star-studded remix is certainly worth a download, whether or not you even like the original song.
Scuba —'So You Think You're Special'
Repetitive and slow-moving beats with airy female vocals: all the ingredients for a great new track from the same dubstep man who started the label Hotflush Recordings back in 2003.
The Hidden Cameras —'Underage (Holy Fuck Remix)'
The only thing that could possibly make The Hidden Cameras' 'Underage' more fun is giving it to Holy Fuck to mess around with. And while you're at it, take a few minutes to watch the band play around with face paint in the original music video.
The Splinters —'Dark Shades'
There seems to have been a shortage of girl rock bands lately, so it's about time for them to make a comeback. Here we have The Splinters, a band that includes two former members of a Misfits cover band, the Skullfuckers. Obviously, they know how to rock.
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists —'The Mighty Sparrow'
Off of the band's sixth and latest album 'The Brutalist Bricks', this song proves that Ted Leo certainly can rock out, while holding onto his certain nerdish charm. They've also just released a video for the track, which you can watch here.
Blitzen Trapper —'Heaven and Earth'
The band's next album 'Destroyer of the Void' won't be released until June, but here's a sneak peak of what's to come: a stripped down track sounding astoundingly like Bob Dylan. We're digging the band's newfound simplicity.

London Markets
The City of London owns three wholesale markets in London. Billingsgate Market in Canning Town for fish, Smithfield Market in Farringdon for meat and New Spitalfields Market in Leyton for fruit and vegetables. Fish, meat, fruit and vegetables arrive here from all over the world to be distributed mainly to shops and restaurants. The sheer mass of food and the choice on offer is overwhelming. Seeing these markets at work one starts to get a sense of how much it takes to sustain a mega city like London.

Kim Cattrall has revealed that she was not thin enough to wear many of the designer clothes on Sex And The City.
The actress - who plays Samantha Jones in the series - told Vogue that her larger frame often meant that her character was dressed in vintage pieces.
"I'm not a sample size like Sarah [Jessica Parker] and Kristin [Davis]. I couldn't wear a lot of the clothes the young designers would send us," she explained.
"I'd wear a lot of vintage... Sometimes the fittings would be eight hours' long and your whole body would ache from having clothes pulled on and off."
However, Cattrall denies feeling slighted by her wardrobe.
"I was never into any of Charlotte's (Davis) sweet dresses or Sarah's outfits," she said.
"There were a few pieces of Sarah's that I liked on their own but not the outfits as such. The thing about [stylist] Patricia [Fields] was that she knew the actresses body types very well."
Cattrall recently admitted that she is unsure if there will be another Sex And The City film.

Well in looking back at the lessons I've learned
and the mountains I've wanted to climb,
I just look at myself at find,
I've learned the hard way every time.
-Jim Croce
I told a friend that my McNay Consulting organization has started doing life coaching. She looked at me strangely and said, "You're fat."
My friend believed that only perfect people can be life coaches.
I'm trying to figure out what a perfect person looks like. Everyone I know has some kind of problems, even if they present a strong exterior.
I understand what a life coach can do. They help people visualize where they want to go and figure out how to get there.
Sounds simple but it is harder than people think.
A consultant and I were recently doing life coaching exercises to get me to ready for the New Year. It started slowly. Because my vision was not clear, my goals weren't clear and neither was my path.
Then we hit the million dollar question. Who are the five people you admire most? The five were all close friends and had similar attributes.
I wanted to be like them.
Once that was settled, the rest of my vision fell into gear.
After nearly 30 years of helping people with their money, I figured out long ago that financial issues were rarely about rates of return or asset allocation.
Money is usually about emotions.
Most of the time, people are using money to buy something that is missing in their lives.
It could be they are missing love, self-esteem or security. They could be using money to cure loneliness or as Jackson Browne once said, "to fill in the missing colors of their paint by number dreams."
Most of the time, money don't care what really ails them. The ailment remains but they wind up losing their money too.
If a person can figure out what they really want, money can be an important tool in making that wish a reality.
I wonder how coaches learn life's lessons. My best lessons have come from the school of hard knocks.
If I make a big mistake, I tend to learn from it.
As I noted in my book, Wealth Without Wall Street: A Main Street Guide to Making Money, I made some financial mistakes when my mother and sister suddenly died in 2006. Mistakes that a person with my financial education and background shouldn't make.
I was using money to deal with grief and personal upheaval. The same way that many people do.
I'm fortunate. I had the resources to pay for my mistake and the ability to keep on generating income.
A lot of people get money in one large chunk. If they lose it all, they don't have a chance to earn it again.
I wrote a book about lottery winners and how so many have lost their money. I've never heard of many of them winning the lottery twice.
Most of my clients have been widows, widowers and injury victims. They are whose lives changed in the split second that a drunk driver ran a red light or a truck driver fell asleep behind the wheel.
I frequent see people in settlement negotiations or meditations looking for revenge or some kind emotional satisfaction.
It doesn't work that way. I try to sit down with them early and explain a basic fact.
I tell them, "all the insurer can give you is money. They can't bring your loved one back to life. They can't allow you to throw away your wheelchair and walk. All they can do is write you a check."
"It your job to take the money and use it to create a normal life for you and your family."
People will sometimes get a substantial amount. Despite my warning, within five years, that money will usually be gone.
Keeping injured people, lottery winners and others who receive large sums from blowing their money has been my life's work.
I use a number of financial tools and common sense advice to keep people from making large mistakes. Some people listen. Some don't.
The people who don't listen often learn through the school of hard knocks.
A school where you might lose all your money before you graduate.
My job is to steer them away from making bad decisions but as the song says, many learn the hard way every time.

|Really Good Hair Oil, Fushi*
A while ago I received a bottle of this hair oil and to be honest, it took me a while to take the plunge and try it. I've used a creamy hair oil and coconut oil in my hair several times before, but never a 'proper' hair oil. I followed the instructions and rubbed some into my scalp before bed. So far I've been using it roughly once every 2 weeks and my hair has remained extremely soft and free from split ends. Twice now I've applied it before bed, gone for a run in the morning and then washed it out.
It has an oddly pleasant sweet aroma and I could definitely smell the argan oil and jasmin. It is an olive green colour and easy to wash off your hands after application.
It is completely natural and full of certified organic oils such as sesame seed, coconut, avacado, sweet almond and Moroccan argan, as well as triple infused organic brahmi serum. It also contains vitamin E so if your hair has been neglected and undernourished recently, this will give it a good nutrient boost. Something we all need right now.
My mum and partner have also tried Really Good Hair Oil and are also fans despite my partner having very short shaved hair. I'll have to make sure I hide the remainder. Any scepticism about hair oils I had before this product have been wiped and I intend on adding oil it to my haircare routine for the foreseeable future.
Have you tired any Fushi products before? What are your favourite hair oils?

I let Syd play on my computer at night. She has her own site that she plays on, www.starfall.com She does pretty good on it and is trying the harder levels. She doesn't really understand all of them but they are fun for her. There was one "book" she was reading and it asked her who she would give all the stars to? She replied to it and said, "Daddy."
I then asked she would give the start to Daddy? And she told me, "But I don't have any stars," and then gave a me a sad face.

candy cottage, candy house, candy rocks, Christmas crafts, gingerbread cottage, gingerbread house, gingerbread houses
My friend and I entered a gingerbread house competition. The house mostly came together in the last two days, as my friend and I live nowhere near each other and the competition was smack dab in the middle of our last two exam weeks (yes, there was a lot of procrastination). Between panicked e-mails we boiled sugar, food-coloured marshmallows and did experiments with cookie dough and chocolate. All in all, it was a lot of fun and a very educational experience. The time we did have in her apartment assembling and decorating the final product went pretty well. There was a little snark, and perhaps a couple of minor freak-out moments but we both still have all our limbs and are still friends so I think it was a success. She has reminded me a couple of times what a huge mess I left her, but I paid for all the supplies and did all the traveling so I'm calling it even.
Here was our entry. Unimaginatively called "Rustic stone cottage". We didn't get a chance to finish all the things we wanted to do with it, because we kinda ran out of time. These pictures were taken a couple of days after, so some of the colour had started to run.
The back window was almost a disaster but between my stubborness and props created during my friend's playtime with marzipan we ended up with this
Though we didn't place in the top three, we got an honourable mention for our house as "the best place to hide out from the cold". I was content (although winning one of the Cuisinart prize packs would have been kinda awesome, but then my friend and I would have had to figure out how to split stuff up).

One of the most useful features of Well Optix is the power it gives you to proactively manage entire fields. With detailed information on every well, when a problem occurs such as pumps slowing down if you have a high pressure condition to reduce pressure, and send a pumper to check out the alarm information. Well Optix allows you to prioritize your physical inspections for wells with known issues or for scheduled preventive maintenance.
Knowing more about your entire field allows you to compare equipment settings to dial in optimal production or to take preemptive action to avoid shutdowns or prolonged failure of your equipment.

By DE Editors
Dryfork Media Corporation (Orem, UT) is offering version 2.0 of Dryfork, a 3D presentation software package that lets you not only create — but customize — professional 3D presentations that exude multimedia. Dryfork lets you say goodbye to the static page format by letting you embed the elements of 3D graphics, animations, and sound into a single page.
"Dryfork goes way beyond PowerPoint," explains Bill Nordgren, president of Dryfork, in the live demo. "It's the only environment for engineers who want to see their products in 3D in spatial relationships. With Dryfork, you can do things you wouldn't normally do."
Dryfork 3D presentation software is a platform to design and deliver self-running training modules; the object-oriented, 100 percent 3D presentation system was designed using Flexsim technology.
Said to be the first 3D presentation system for engineers, you can put to good use all your technical materials to communicate the content of your offering, and create an unconventional presentation using conventional "slides and points."
Like constructing a stage on which to place your virtual model, you use one of the five main screens in Dryfork's Presentation Builder, to create your pages in a tree view in your toolbox: Narrative, Worlds, Inventory, Journeys, and 3D View. You also have options for Presentation Control and a help wizard.
In the Narrative tree, you can drag-and-drop page and point ordering, make new slide transitions, use the new "Cinema" action for showing multimedia full screen, wrap Text wrapping of points and 3D text object, create Sub points, and choose to continually replay a journey in a world.
In Worlds, you create a 3D world, on a grid, that you can rotate and size to fit your needs. In Inventory, which is like a library of clip art, a new screen display object allows text to stay in one position while navigating through a 3D world. This can be text, an image, or a video. You can also use transparency on a video object, or tap into tool tips for inventory objects.
"Dryfork goes way beyond PowerPoint. It's the only environment for engineers who want to see their products in 3D in spatial relationships. With Dryfork, you can do things you wouldn't normally do."
In Journeys, you can save it and use it again in other parts of the tree. And in 3D View, you can use the automatic aspect ration, the new Sky Cube, which combines a reflective water surface with a skybox for an immersive environment in which to place objects in a 3D world. Last, there is the option to clean the "selected" box around objects in the 3D view.
Presentation Control lets you right click during the presentation to jump to any page in the presentation, a B key will blank the screen, or toggle back and forth. The Page Up and Page Down keys will move to the next or previous slide, and the R key will replay current point.
Using Actions, you can adjust them and capitalize upon the theme with refreshed data files, you can step and repeat, you can draw from the Inventory of dozens of templates that are supplied with Dryfork or you can populate this area with your own material.
You can adjust colors, textures, objects; select speed of page movement during the viewing of the presentation, and plan how you want your pager to appear. On the first page, for example, you can choose to keep your cover page at upper left, your screenshot or animated graphic will be added on the right, you can keep your logo in the lower left, and add text — all on a background of your own choosing. The background can be a landscape from multiple supplied templates, or it can use your own jpg, bmp, png, gif, or tif.
You can make an e-movie, using narrative of your own making, to show off the capabilities of your product in 3D space, over which you have total control. If you are placing a building, for example, on a site, you can insert figures, adding realism by providing points for them to walk between.
You can control lighting, rotate the objects in your grid, and you can even save many pages of presentation chatter by flowing them into running flythroughs where several screens move across the background you have placed on a single page, or series of pages.
So in addition to Dryfork's ability to offer features that it shares in common with other popular presentation software such as a tree-view narrative outline, access to standard media file formats, and self-running presentations, Dryfork is compatible with standard 3D objects, it can show spatial relationships between things that need such clear definition, and it can maintain slide view during 3D environment presentation, offering video texturing and making full use of 3D animation.
In the end, what you get is an experience that you have created for your customer, not just a presentation. Between the immersive screen, toolbox of capabilities, and the multimedia options at your fingertips, all you need is a product worth selling. But hey, several thousand PC users can't be wrong.
Not only does Dryfork offer a Free Live Web Demo ([email protected]) to walk you through how to construct your presentation, but the supportive website offers a User Community, Forum FAQ, a Members List, Calendar, and a free trial download.

First post on WordPress! (Bama aka Matt convinced me so I'm thinking, why not! Let's see how long this lasts…)
So a little about me in as short of a paragraph as I can make it:
My name's Christina. I never got serious about running until last year via Cross Country and have now participated in a few road races since, have ran in the State meet, and PR'd there as well. I run on a Varsity high school team for the third fastest team in the state. My enjoyments in life mainly come from this, and good food! This being said, I have healthier tastes, but do not mind the occasional sweets; what's life without a little bit of ice cream, right? So that's pretty much what my blog will be about- food, and running, and a healthy balance & perspective on the two.
So for today,
RUN: Easy day today after the intervals yesterday. Legs still sore from that workout.
Distance: 7.1 Miles
Total Time: 50:49
Pace: 7:10
The weather was nice but RIDICULOUSLY windy. Everything felt up-hill! And I think it's supposed to snow storm later today. 😦
After my run I stretched out a little and had my typical Protein Shake with Frozen Fruit (today's choice of fruit was a handful of frozen mixed berries)
Then I had some Flax toast with Smart Balance Peanut Butter and a dash of cinnamon… (Warm toast is the BEST.)
PS: I have a really bad addiction to SB Peanut Butter. I could go through a jar in a few days. Tops.
Lunch was this:
A ham and Swiss melt on 100% whole grain rye bread with caraway seeds, baby carrots, and an addition of a Red Delicious apple on the side.
And here are the rest of the goods for the week!

|Jean (J. Smith-Cameron) and Lisa (Anna Paquin)
At one point, the idea of Lisa as the centre of a narrative is explicitly disputed by one character, their mouth practically spitting with disgust at the idea of such a self-centred idea. Margaret's title seems to take issue with this too - Margaret is none of the characters, not even the dead one, but a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem read out by one of Lisa's teachers. There is a sense of latent resentment as the film aligns with Lisa; passages that spend time with her mother Joan (J. Smith-Cameron) vibrate with a peculiar jealousy, stemming from Joan being slowly pushed out of her daughter's worldview, while her father (Lonergan) exists only in phone calls to his daughter, sympathetic but disconnected, trapped in an airless Los Angeles beach house. Students who are forced to witness Lisa's circular political arguments with a Muslim classmate yell to reinstate themselves in Lisa's narrative. Characters who are at one moment integral to Lisa's narrative fall away, her life shifting in a different direction - youthful romantic possibilities shed for starker, more cynical sexual entanglements. Among many things, Margaret is a story of a girl struggling with adulthood, a question of how a confrontation with death might mature her, and twist her self-perception.
|Lisa shrinks from the world around her
|Lisa's gaze rests on sympathetic teacher Mr. Aaron (Matt Damon)
I left Margaret in a similar way to that in which I left Melancholia - my sense of the word around me felt irrevocably different. But where Melancholia's florid, epic ambition left me on some other plane of existence, Margaret thrust me back out into a world full of people, a fresh tactility and almost hyper-awareness of all the individual stories and issues brushing past me. Margaret's lack of grand scope is what makes it so ambitious, as if it's epic qualities have been turned in on themselves, expanding within character rather than in the form of a terrifying planet. It pinpoints, finally, the difficulties of living, and the precious moments we'd all do our best to ensure we actually look at. (A)
Margaret is playing three times at a day at the Odeon Panton St. in central London until next Thursday. If you can get there at all, run.

Stockcode #IC-Turbo-
Turbo Performance at an affordable price.
The Best Recovery Solution Available for up to 10 Athletes at one time.
TurboCools can cool & Heat almost any size pool with our unique Master Slave configuration.
Lowest Price all in one package solution.
The new iCool Turbo range is an entirely new concept for the automatically cooling and controlling of large ice bath pools or spas for up to 10 athletes at an affordable price.
One TurboCool can chill a pool of up to 5000 Litres (1400 Gallons). Or as many TurboCools as you need can be slaved from a master unit to chill even the biggest pools.
Fully automatic cooling to as low as 5ºC.
The Turbo Cools are the latest technology reverse cycle heat pumps and in addition they are a unique arrangement of dual parallel systems in a single cabinet that allows for extremely efficient management of power consumption to minimise electricity use. This is really important with systems that need to operate for long periods to maintain ideal water temperatures.
Easy to use Colour Touch Screen Controls.
All iCools are fitted with the latest full colour touch screens, you can even install the colour touch screen remotely (ICTurbo "Remote Screen") included now with every Turbo. So even if you install your Turbo Cool or Dual Temp away from the ice spa you can still have all the benefits of remote control, a clear readout of all temperatures and functions and iCool's exclusive built in session timing features that allow athletes to precisely time their ice bath immersion.
Simplest Installation possible.Plugs into normal electric outlets.Highest efficiency, Lowest running cost.
Because the Turbo's have all the necessary equipment in one package, there is no need for the owner to provide complicated plumbing and electrical wiring. This can save a lot of time and money and allows a Turbo's to be installed in less than a day.
High efficiency Heating mode also available.
Turbo's are also available with reverse cycle heat pump capability (Dual Temperature model) and can be used for heating as well as cooling pools. This is perfect for recovery rooms that offer the latest Contrast Therapy where athletes can experience the great benefits of alternating between accurately controlled hot and cold pools. In the heating mode a Turbo Dual Temp can save up to 70% of the electricity normally used by an equivalent electric element heating system.
Twin Pool Contrast Systems Made Easy
Installing 2 Turbo's for 2 pools is the ultimate in recovery capability at very affordable cost. This allows you to operate either pool as a hot or cold pool as required at any time, or to have 2 cold pools on demand for busy recovery sessions. It also provides automatic redundancy when one pool is out of service for any reason as either pool can be either hot or cold as required.
Active Safety
All iCools have many important safety features built in. For example, the entire electrical circuit is protected by an earth leakage safety device that cuts electricity instantly to protect against any possibility of electric shock. There are also protection circuits against over heating, lack of water flow or lack of airflow and in the rare event that any of these protections operates, usually the colour touch screen with give immediate advice as to what has happened and what to do.
Available Models
ICTurbo "COOL"
IC-Turbo-Remote Screen-2"
IC-Turbo-Remote Screen-3"
Set and Forget Operation, fully automatic computer management, very user friendly touch screens interface provide easy to learn control and excellent information.
'We are very pleased with the iCool Turbo. Our Recovery Centre spa is at the correct temperature quickly and easily. With the minimum of maintenance.
The Turbo also uses the familiar, touch screen interface found on the other iCool units. So setup was easy. We have always found service and support from iCool Sport to be excellent.'
D.Key Western Australian Institute of Sport..
"Now that we have used our 2 iCool Turbocools for a full season I just wanted to let you know how happy we have been with the performance and reliability and to thank you for the outstanding support you gave us during the initial period while we were getting used to getting the most out of our recovery centre. We have been really impressed with how well the Turbocools cope with the hot weather here and how well they hold the temperature even when the entire team uses the pools at once. They certainly performed as advertised and we hope to install 2 more when our budget allows"

Sometimes my life's ever more messy than my apartment… And that's when life gets tough. In all this mess, I can never remember which date stands for what: do I have to pay some bill or am I taking an exam? And so, I got lost in all that Shakespearean business. But, wait! When you suddenly disappear from the market, you have to make a spectacular comeback! And here comes mine – I've got a little surprise. I hope that my readers are still with me, even though I've been 'hibernating' for quite some time now. Anyway, my blog is taking part in a Blog of the Year 2012 contest! How about that guys? Hope you'll try and help or at least keep your fingers crossed for me! 🙂 Is that a good comeback?

smelling faintly of
smoke and leaves
and other people's cars.
They come
for renewal and validation,
they come begging,
like street performers
hiding behind
tricks, or grades or funny stories.
Aching for approval or more often,
for money,
willing me to open
the mother wallet
and let the spirits move
to finance their dreams,
or their snacks,
or gas for their car.
They come to me
all false bravado and devil may care
never knowing
I see
the trembling hand
or lowered shifty eyes revealing
haunted hurting hearts.
At night
they come to me
still needing some small goodbye ritual
and never knowing
I can still see them
all blankets and thumbs and small feet kicking.
They come
with more questions than answers.
tilling secret gardens,
proof they are growing away from me,
don't need me
But still,
they come.
Finding their way
in from the cold
They let me reach for their hand
For a moment
I pull them close and smell their hair
and know they are mine.
Behind stubble and bangs of a nameless color.
they still sweat grass and pool water and wind.
mixed with a secret scent we share,
branded onto my heart
from the first day
I knew them.
Even though they have again stolen my sleep,
overtaken all my prayers
and recklessly wrapped themselves up
in most moments of possible peace.
There is hope
down the hallway
they come.
To me.
To home.
hearts still open wide.

I discovered something interesting this past weekend that got me thinking!?! I use yams or sweet potatoes for one of my starchy carbs during my day and the amount changes weekly. This particular day I needed 108g of yams/sweet potato. I normally have been taking the easy (lazy) way to cook them and putting them into my slow cooker when I cook my meats. When I weigh them out I get about 2-3 1″x1″ cubes – hardly enough to even count! And trust me some days I think "what is the point!" but as the weeks go on I will take every gram I can get.
This time, I used my new fancy Spiral Vegetable Slicer to make sweet potato curly fries. I was super excited and I believe I used 2 small sweet potatoes to fill a baking tray. I popped them into the oven for about 10 mins, watching carefully because they cut very thin. When I took them out to weigh them, to my surprise the WHOLE tray weighed 107g. How could this be??
Yes, it was too good to be true – but luckily I found that out AFTER I ate them – LOL! I thought that maybe I had weighed them wrong before – out of the slow cooker with all the extra moisture. But no sadly, that is the correct way to weigh them and the way I had done it in the oven dehydrates them so the macros would be as if you are eating the whole sweet potato – obviously right?!!
Here is an article I came across that explains it as well – The Right Weigh and the Wrong Weigh: Should Food be Measured Before or After Cooking?
Oh gosh, I hope my Mom doesn't read this! Hasn't she taught me anything! And geez my husband too, I can see his head shaking already….oh well! Learn something new everyday I say!

Kevin Smith has super friends in the right places. Before his first episode of "Supergirl" debuts on Jan. 23, he's sharing some exciting news with Screener:
He's already heading back to National City for a second round.
That's right, the "Clerks" and "Dogma" writer/director is preparing for a return to the show's Vancouver set to helm his second episode of Season 2.
RELATED: Could 'Supergirl's' Mon-El actually be the Prince of Daxam?
"I get to go back," he says happily. "After Sundance -- I'm going to Sundance tomorrow, and when I come back I go back up to Vancouver to do my second 'Supergirl.' Nobody knows that yet."
This will be the fourth time Smith has gotten to play around in the "Arrow"-verse, after directing two acclaimed episodes of "The Flash" and the upcoming "Supergirl Lives." He's not letting any details about the next episode slip, though.
RELATED: Neil Patrick Harris heading to 'Supergirl' would be music to our ears
As for the other DC Universe shows, Smith says he's open to working on any of them -- including FOX's "Gotham," which is outside of the "Arrow"-verse. However, he only wants to direct at this point. That is unless he gets the go ahead to script an episode of "Arrow."
"I would try to write an 'Arrow' script, particularly if I could bring in Onomatopoeia," he says referencing the character he created for "Green Arrow" comics. "I would write and direct that episode, co-write it or whatever." As for "The Flash" and "Supergirl," he's most comfortable sticking to just the director's chair at this point.
"There's something to those scripts that is beyond my capability," he explains. "And I'm not saying it's genius or it's too beneath me or something. I just cannot do it. I marvel when they have me the script."
"Supergirl" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

This problem only occurs on applications that were previously designed under Delphi 7 and migrated to Delphi 2007 running on WinXP.
I tried for ages to get this problem sorted with no luck.
As far as I am aware, the Topendialog is a Win32 dialog wrapper and it should inherit the windows folder options which, in my case, is set to show the file extensions of all files.
Now, if I create a new application and drop a Topendialog on it, when it runs, it shows the file extensions as expected.
If I drop the same dialog onto an existing application and run, it doesn't show the file extensions.
If fact if I write a filename string into the filename property before calling the dialog a la 'Myfile.txt', when the dialog is displayed the filename is shown as 'Myfile', the extension doesn't show and neither do any files in the list.
Has anyone else seem this behaviour?
Anybody have any workarounds?
Edit: Images uploaded to shown differences between Topendialog on a new project and existing project.

Pence 'Whipped Out That Mexican Thing' And Twitter Users Whipped It Right BackOctober 5, 2016
Tuesday night's vice presidential debate was kind of a trainwreck. The candidates consistently deflected questions and interrupted each other.
No, seriously — this debate was basically just two men talking over each other for 90 minutes.
And like clockwork, someone said something they shouldn't have, which effectively prompted Twitter users to fire away.
Introducing, #ThatMexicanThing.
"When Donald Trump says women should be punished or Mexicans are rapists and criminals — and John McCain's not a hero — he's showing you who he is," Senator Tim Kaine said.
Queue Governor Mike Pence's speedy response: "Senator, you whipped out that Mexican thing again."

Centennial Celebration Begins
August 2015 begins the year-long Centennial Celebration for Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Southeast DC. Parishioners gathered for a special Mass with Cardinal Wuerl on August 2 to join their prayers in thanksgiving to God and His Blessed Mother for the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Assumption Parish. The parish will host other milestone events throughout the upcoming year. For 100 years, Assumption parishioners have been a beacon of faith and hope in Southeast DC, ministering to an inner city congregation full of life and love. Come join us throughout this year and beyond as we continue the joyful celebration of our history and faith.
One of the oldest Catholic Churches in Washington, The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was founded in 1916 in South East, Washington, DC in the Village of Congress Heights. The parish soon became a center for social and recreational activity and to this day remains a vibrant part of the life of Congress Heights/Anacostia.

With Great Lakes at Stake, No Preferential Treatment
To the Editor:
"Say you're sorry" is not an appropriate response for the State of Michigan to take when a major oil transportation company misinforms the public about the status of safety measures on their pipeline in the Great Lakes. Yet, in light of the discovery that Enbridge has known about missing coating on their risky pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac for three years but never informed the state, Michigan officials are requesting an apology.
Those in Lansing may not see the extent of the threat, but we here on Mackinac Island do. An oil spill in the Straits of Mackinac would be the end of life on Mackinac Island as we know it. This is where our families and our communities live. This is our home. This is not Enbridge's home.
So, why is Enbridge getting preferential treatment? No one else is allowed to impose risk on other businesses and livelihoods like this. If I were to be running a business that lies to regulators or fails to maintain vital equipment, I would be shut down. I would expect to be shut down rather quickly too. This company doesn't seem to be subject to the same regulations as everyone else. This is not acceptable.
This news from Enbridge means either the company was lying or they were careless. Considering the extreme level of scrutiny that the pipeline coating was under back in March, I find it hard to believe that the engineers who discovered the missing coating did not feel the need to report their knowledge to their higher ups. Even if this was truly an "internal reporting issue," this carelessness displays a fundamental misunderstanding of risk management on the part of Enbridge. Am I to trust in a company who fails to inform their public relations person? Am I to trust in a company who decides for themselves what is and is not a safety concern worth sharing?
I understand that we must continue to provide oil products to the region, but there are ways to solve this without putting the Great Lakes at risk. Dynamic Risk Assessment's recent "Alternatives to the Straits Pipeline" estimates a mere two cents per gallon of gasoline price raise at the pump if we decommission Line 5. Propane costs would increase 35 cents a gallon but there are ways to mitigate the costs of that as well – methods such as trucking to the U.P. or installing a smaller four inch pipeline to the distribution center in Rapid River.
Because of the system in place, we are reliant on Enbridge to report truthfully on the integrity of this pipeline. Inspections are either conducted by Enbridge themselves or by third-party groups who rely on data from Enbridge to create the analysis. Enbridge has irreconcilably broken trust and the stakes are too high. It is not the time for another slap on the wrist; it is time to decommission this pipeline.

When I first opened the package containing Things I have Learned In My Life So Far, by Stefan Sagmeister, I quickly realized it was different from what I am used to reviewing. However, my experience with unique has come into play before.
Sagmeister made a name for himself as a graphic artist. Clients would hire him to design brochures and the like for advertising purposes. If they needed a picture for their annual fundraiser, they knew just who to call.
When he decided to take a year's sabbatical from commerical work to see what would happen, he kept a daily diary. It wasn't long before he noticed what he wrote would be best displayed in public for others to see and apply in their own lives.
To describe Sagmeister's work as a novel would be misleading. It is more like an object of art. The contents were my first hint. Rather than a bound novel which reads cover to cover (for most of us, anyway), a selection of pamphlets falls out of the box. They represent the process of creating his displays. There is a story behind each one, shared with readers.
Those who think on the right side of their brains, or creatively, are going to especially enjoy the cover. It takes the author's face and creates a template. By slipping a pamphlet behind, the image is immediately changed.
Which booklet stood out to me the most? I think it's the one which talked about "Over Time I Get Used To Everything And Start Taking It For Granted". This happened in New York with a variety of mediums. After Stefan sat on a windowsill and dangled his feet out, people mistook him for a jumper. Oops! The police were called, but Stefan managed to leave the scene before he got into trouble.
I also liked "Starting A Charity Is Surprisingly Easy". I was reminded my help can always be used by somebody. Sagmeister and his friends made a difference in the lives of homeless people by handing out bags of stuff twice a month. A student in one of the artist's art classes came up with a way to thank garbage collectors for what they do.
This book is an intriguing look at the things all of us value. Even if one disagrees with the concept or an individual saying, there is something to be said for Sagmeister's vision in sharing with the world.
