Recommendation: **** (4-stars)
Positives: This series provides a fun way for kids to learn a bit about history, and see how Christian's have played integral parts in history. My 7-year old was thoroughly engaged in the story and has begged me to get more! They are great for her to read by herself, but we also love reading them together. I loved the detail brought out in the story of the backpack, the parachute and the watch. Through these kids can see that God takes care of the smallest details of our lives. We also enjoyed going online and entering our "secret password" to learn more about Corrie ten Boom.
Negatives: None
Talking Points: There are many conversations you could have with your children surrounding this story. My daughter and I talked about God's sovereignty and our call to trust Him. Our kids can wonder why such horrible things had to happen and still happen in our world. We must continue to point them to a God who is sovereign - in control of all things. Here are a few Scriptures that talk about God's sovereignty: Job 14:5-6, Job 42:2, Psalm 33:10-15, Psalm 115:3, Psalm 139, Prov. 16:4-9, Prov. 21:1, Is. 55;10-11, Rom. 13:1-2, James 4;13-15. We can only trust a God who is in complete control of all things! Teach your children that God is indeed worthy of their trust because He knows the very number of hairs on their head (Matt. 10:30). Read through the Psalms with your kids and make note of everytime the word trust is used. Talk about how and why we put are to put our trust in the Lord and not in earthly things.
Age Level: 5-10 year olds (7 year old reading level)
I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale Publishing for this review.

If someone were to ask me, who are your inspirations/fashion icons/favourite models? Miranda Kerr would definitely be the first to pop up in my mind. It's amazing how this flawless woman can look gorgeous in anything she wears and anything she does.
From the above photos, it's clear that Miranda loves blazers, pants and prints, but at the same time she can be seen in pretty dresses and flowy tops. Her style is very clean and on-trend, if not a bit boyfriend-ish, and she nearly always incorporates black somewhere into her outfits.

From DeMediacratic Nation:
Ruben Navarette, a syndicated columnist, member of the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board and editorial writer at CNN.com calls the Republicans 10 enforcement measures, "Immigration Reform for Dummies."
I get the sense that he doesn't support them. According to Navarette they just caught a glance at the calendar and realized they had better do something; odd that Democrats aren't doing the same type of thing.
At CNN.com Navarette says:
"So they hurriedly cobbled together a slate of 10 enforcement measures, as if the immigration problem could be fixed with spit and glue."10 measures consisting of no more than "spit and glue," sounds more appropriate to "comprehensive" reform, especially since if it had passed there would be less border/illegal immigration discussion; so we and our elected could all go back to sleep for a few more years on this issue.
The fence won't work according to Navarette because:
"First, as any border patrol agent will tell you, there's no fence that can keep out someone who is desperate to feed his family and who's willing to go around, go over, or go under."The quote isn't that different than the defeatist attitude of Arizona governor Janet Napolitano's recent comment:
"You show me a 50-foot wall and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder at the border."To which I say, you show me a 50 foot wall and I'll show you someone trying to enter the country illegally while hampered by a 51 foot ladder.
The quote above attempts to point out how the fence won't work, and that people wanting to come here still will if their desperate enough. According to Navarette these steps are all the Republicans will be taking in the quest for immigration reform, or at least would like readers to believe it. Hey Ruben, that's the idea. Nothing alone will resolve the dillemma....
Additionally according to Navarette:
Next, every time we crack down on the border, it enhances the bottom line for these multimillion-dollar smuggling outfits. Whereas it used to cost about $500 to cross the border, now the price is closer to $3,000. If we build more walls, the smugglers will raise prices again. That's bad. It creates an incentive for smugglers to stay in business since business is so goodIncentive for smugglers? Would they easily get 10 customers at $3K a head or more so at $500 per head? Eventually the price would become too high, no? 3 grand? Do they have $3 grand? If so, perhaps they're not as bad off as they thought. Every step we take on immigration reform or anything else for that matter has it's own side effects; with the exception I guess of Navarette's plan, right?

Skip to comments.If cuts take effect, GW may be only carrier ready to respond to a crisis
Posted on 02/07/2013 10:20:50 AM PST by Freeport
YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan The USS George Washington may be the Navys only aircraft carrier that will be ready to respond to a crisis later this year if Congress does not cancel billions of dollars of automatic spending cuts set to take effect next month.
The Navy has canceled ship maintenance and other projects to make up for a $4.6 billion funding shortfall it faces in 2013 because it is operating under a temporary congressional resolution limiting the Pentagon to 2012 spending levels.
Most of the immediate cuts are concentrated on larger bases in the United States and spare Navy operations in the Asia-Pacific region.
However, Navy documents show that if the Pentagon is forced to cut $55 billion from its planned budget for 2013 as the congressional spending straitjacket known as sequestration would require Navy operations in the Asia-Pacific would slow considerably.
(Excerpt) Read more at stripes.com ...
This is super news...for China, Iran, North Korea...
One can never maintain super power status with a rotting economy, Trillions in debt and yearly deficits of Trillion+.
We better wake up to reality soon otherwise we will follow the road to demise ala the Roman Empire, the Third Reich and the USSR.
It is complete idiocy to borrow from China to protect oil supply lanes to China in the straits of Hormuz. Since we can never pay the principal, we are forever in servitude to foreign lenders.
typo correction: principle for principal.
Instead of asking; "Where are the carriers?", the prez will ask; "Where are the drones?"
Maybe this is what zero was talking to Putin about. He needed more time.
Intended consequences of the leftists
Last time I checked, we had ten carrier groups. What are the other nine doing?
The full court press to suppress public support of budget cuts is on.
In addition to consultation with diplomatic and military leadership, crises of aggression require consultation with a nation's captains of finance and industry. In effect, the national political leader asks his backers "can we do this". His backers then offer him the advice that they will. It is this advice that causes wars to start or not start. The leader's advisors, therefore, are the key players on the geo-political scene, except much of the process of consultation operates behind the scenes. Unfortunately, this "behind the scenes" power is transnational and forms a relatively small and unified nexus. This nexus, in addition to having great control over national economies and capital globally, has enough functional representatives to also dominate diplomatic leadership globally.
A good source fo information, and the best I've found outside the wire is at Global Security:
Same thing the local politicians do whenever there is talk of a tax cut.
They always threaten reductions in police, fire, emergency medical and school budgets.
They never warn us that tax cuts could result in fewer fat-butted bureaucrats pushing paper in their multi-multi million dollar ivory tower downtown, cheaper vehicles or elimination of vehicles for bureaucrats, or cutbacks on bicycle lane construction, yuppie jogging trails, etc.
Yes, to continue our 'progressive' domestic policies we must shift our military operations to client states, like every 'progressive' country does.
Just as the Romans paid for 'bread and circus' by contracting with the barbarians for miltayr operations.
They get the benefits and share with us- until we weaken enough that they don't have to.
Borrowing from China to defend their oil is baffling. But more accurately we ae defending their oil so we can borrow from them to provide welfare. I saw today that China doesn't even have a strategic reserve of oil. They are very sure of our intentions apparently, at least until they use their profits from us to build their own fleet.
Unless we avoid the sequester, we might have to do what France just did in Mali: win and get out. We won't be about to stay around for a decade or more and then negotiate with the other side until they win.
Rome: far-flung empire, bread and circuses for the masses, and tax farming. To me, this sounds exactly like what we're doing.
Great graphic.
I'm stealing it.
These are actions they are already taking. As to burocraticitis, yes, there's that, but not as much as you might think away from the beltway.
The CNO has already canceled ship maintenance cycles - The Navy is tying up ships at dock and turning them off. No threat, this is actually happening.
People who maintain those ships are being laid off - This is happening now, not March... Now.
It started January 1, 2013. If you can find a copy of this PDF, you'll see what's happening RIGHT NOW... "Navy CR_SEQ Navy Fiscal Actions 130125 - 1105A" It showed up in my inbox this afternoon and shows exactly what's cut, getting cut and will be cut. Highlights include idling 10 Ships in San Diago (Now), 10 Ships in Norfolk (Now) and later this year the iddling of a Marine Task force.
Thanks; excellent link.
So, will there be issued "Obama phones" for the troops then?////

Advanced Anti-aging Skin Therapies & The New World of Aging
Many people are always looking for new ways to improve their skin and to seek out lotions and potion, pills and sachets to do the job. We know that there are two types of aging, one is called photo-aging and the other is termed, "chronoaging". "Photoaging" is the worst offender and it is directly related to your sun exposure over your lifetime.
Sunshine is a powerful force, it helps us to rise in the morning and keeps us going throughout the day, and every human being on this planet literally revolves around the sun. Still, despite all the good it does, the sun can be quite harmful. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, and 80% of the changes that cause our skin to look older are directly related to the sun. We can achieve healthy skin and stay away from the surgeon with just a bit of knowledge and simple steps to protect our skin.

Dr. Hall has a keen sense of how acne can affect a person. Acne or skin issues can be related to hormones, environmental toxins, humidity and heat, stress or pH imbalance, and exposure to heavy metals like bromide and fluoride. Dr. Hall uses the Dermapen™ to help smooth ice pick scars and fade stubborn blemishes. He really knows skin and how to make it glow!
Dr. Hall will initially use the HydraFacial™ to prepare the skin and then use the Cutera's Laser Genesis™ technology of the Nd-Yag laser designed to penetrate and improve the appearance of acne skin blemishes including acne scars, redness, and rosacea, wrinkles, as well as various signs of aging and sun damage. Calibrated specifically to stimulate new collagen growth while protecting surrounding tissues, this non-invasive laser can help to even skin tone and refine pore sizes through the gentle application of heat underneath the skin.
Treatment times are generally relatively short with minimal discomfort. There is rarely any recovery or downtime associated with Laser Genesis™ treatments, but multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Additionally, minor redness and occasional swelling may occur, but these symptoms should dissipate shortly after treatment. Ultimately, treatment with the Laser Genesis™ can give your skin a more youthful-looking appearance and a luminous glow while being efficient and minimally invasive.
Living in Florida – How Climate and Acne Coexist
In each pore or hair follicle, sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, oil from your body that keeps skin moist. At puberty, the level of androgens (male hormones, which women also have) increases, causing the sebaceous glands to go into overdrive and produce excess sebum. This excess sebum combined with dead, sticky skin cells and/or bacteria creates the perfect set-up for breakouts. Due to high humidity and heat our pores can remain open and easily blocked and filled with bacteria. Blockage of the follicle openings leads to the formation of a microcomedone, which is below the skin surface and thus known as the invisible origin of acne.
Acne is often 80% genetic and 20% environmental, the disease involves the oil glands and hair follicles of the skin, which is manifested by blackheads, whiteheads, acne pimples and healing acne blemishes. On some individuals, cysts and nodules (deeper skin lesions) may appear. Acne is one of the most common skin diseases in the US. While acne can affect anyone at any age, it usually begins at puberty and worsens during adolescence hormonal imbalances. It is estimated that 67% of people who have had acne report having experienced their first breakout by 13 years of age (deKadt Facial Skin Care Market Study, Acne Sufferers, 2006).
It's important to note that an acne breakout begins 2-6 weeks before you actually see it appear on your skin, which is why sticking to a regular acne care routine is important for treating the acne you can already see, and for helping to prevent acne from occurring.
Call (305) 672 4733 for a Free Consultation with Dr. Hall
While all breakouts start off the same way, they can take on many forms and be present in different proportions depending on each individual and their unique skin condition. For example, some people tend to get pimples frequently, while others have mostly blackheads and whiteheads with only occasional pimples. That's why it's important to get the right treatment for your acne.
Anyone who has Acne has one of only several types. We have provided a list of acne types:
Stages of acne:
- Normal follicle
- Open comedo (blackhead)
- Closed comedo (whitehead)
- Papule
- Pustule
- More severe forms of acne lesions.
Non-Inflammatory Acne
Whitehead or closed comedo: a clogged follicle that usually appears on the skin as a small, whitish bump. Blackhead or open comedo: a clogged follicle that usually appears on the skin with a dark tip, due to the buildup of melanin (the skin's dark pigment).
- First sign of inflammatory acne
- Small, firm pink bump raised to varying degrees
- Can be tender to the touch
- Like papules but with visible pus (red at base with yellowish or white center)
Nodule or cyst:
- Large, usually very painful
- Inflamed, pus-filled lesions deep within skin
- Contents have spilled into the surrounding skin infecting the area
- Most severe form of acne lesion
- May persist for weeks or months
- Often leaves deep scars
Acne conglobata:
- Rare but serious form of inflammatory acne
- Primarily occurs on back, buttocks, and chest
- Exists in the presence of papules and pustules
- May also have severe bacterial infection
We offer Genesis Laser Treatment by Cutera.
Price $799 per Treatment

This is a quick post mostly because I'm trying to do other work, which somehow led me to this video: Elizabeth Gilbert talking about divinity in creativity and how adopting this attitude could keep us from killing off the great creative thinkers.
It's so in line with The Artist's Way, which if you've been following my blog know I've been
struggling working through over the past few months.
The talk is about 19 minutes, which is a lot of time to invest, but it had my hair standing on end with chills through my whole body. Well done Elizabeth!
I can't tell you how many times I've wondered: Why is it that so many creative works have to be depressing and their author's story so tragic? I'm out to change that mentality along with Elizabeth Gilbert, and I hope you'll join us!

Cheap European Vacations – We get a lot of emails from people asking for advice on their planned Europe trips, and the most common question we get is about how much it will cost to travel to the destinations they have planned, and then also if we have some tips for other cheap European vacations they can take instead.
After having traveled extensively through Europe in the last few years we have found that prices vary highly between every country, and depending on where you go you can either make or break your budget. Travel Cheat Sheet for Europe
Also remember that it's not just the destination that decides the price of your trip – to make sure you stay on budget, don't be cheap with your travel insurance.
It's better to be safe than sorry, and to spend a little extra money on getting travel insurance with medical conditions (if you have them).
Since if you risk it and something bad happens, your trip will certainly be one of the most expensive you've taken..!
A General Rule For Cheap European Vacations
As a general rule, countries in Eastern Europe tend to be cheaper – there are some great places to visit in the Balkans and Baltics.
A few exceptions in Eastern Europe is Turkey and Greece, which from our experience are quite expensive to travel in.
Here are some great destinations for those looking for cheap European vacations this summer…
Cheap Vacation to Bosnia
Bosnia is a true gem in the Balkans, with some fascinating cities, beautiful nature and charismatic people.
Traveling by bus around the country is cheap, and a great way of seeing the countryside.
Eating local food and in local restaurants (i.e not the touristy ones) is very cheap; a coffee and Borek (a traditional savory pastry) is about €2, and you can get a descent meal with drink for €5.
Sarajevo and Mostar are two great places we recommend to check out, but there are many other places to see and things to do – like white water rafting in Neretva river.
Cheap Travel to Portugal
Portugal is one of my favorite cheap European vacations in western Europe, with charming cities, lovely people and fascinating food.
There is a great variety of things to do in Portugal, from surfing in the south, to exploring the Fado restaurants in Lisbon, or wander the narrow streets of the picturesque town Porto in the north.
There are some great deals to find in Portugal, especially in Porto.
There are plenty of cheap snacks to buy in the corner shops, and there are hostels offering amazing value.
Croatia isn't as cheap
Croatia isn't as cheap as many other Eastern European countries, but for a beach destination, Croatia is the perfect alternative to Greece (which for the record, doesn't seem to have gotten any cheaper despite the economic crisis).
The coastline is incredibly beautiful, with quaint fishing villages and islands with awesome nightlife.
Food, accommodation and drinks come relatively cheap, and you can travel cheap both on the mainland as well as go island hopping between the islands.
The capital city Zagreb (which generally seems a bit cheaper) and the historic city Dubrovnik offer amazing culture and history for when you've had enough of the beach life.
In all, it's one of the best cheap European vacations for both sun worshippers as well as culture and history fanatics.
Estonia on the Cheap
Estonia is our favorite among the Baltic countries – the capital city Tallinn is adorable, with charming cobble stoned streets, interesting attractions and friendly people.
It's on our list of cheap European vacations because accommodation, food and transport is cheap, and because there are many free sights to check out.
Don't miss out on trying the huge delicious pancakes at Kompressor (Rataskaevu Tänav 3, in the Old Town) which at €1-5 is a steal!
Checkout of Tallinn Travel video
Cheap Vacations to Berlin (Germany)
I say Berlin instead of Germany because the rest of Germany isn't as cheap as Berlin.
Summers in Berlin don't get as hot and unbearable as in many other cosmopolitan cities in Europe, so if you are looking for a shopping weekend getaway, you will find summer a perfect time to visit and get the best of the city.
You can find some great value on accommodation, and there are cheap restaurants, bakeries and bars everywhere.
Berlin is the perfect choice for cheap European vacations for tourists who enjoy boutique shopping, underground partying and museums.
Cheap Travel to Czech Republic
Some people might complain about how Czech republic isn't as cheap as it used to be, but in the big picture it's still cheap and still deserves a spot in the list of cheap European vacations.
You can get a nice hotel room in the city center for the same price as a hostel in other countries in Europe, their famous beer can be enjoyed for €1,5 and you get large portions of their hearty cuisine for well under €10.
The country itself is beautiful and has some interesting places to visit, Prague being the most popular, nicknamed the "city of a thousand spires".
How To Plan A Trip To Europe
To travel around Europe is a dream for many people around the world, there is so much to see, so much history and culture to embrace – and it's all there right in front of you, just waiting to be explored.
But planning a trip to Europe is no easy task, at least not if you want to make the most of your time there and get the best experience possible.
It takes a lot of planning, but where do you start?
Well here are the three first steps you should consider before starting to really plan the rest of your holiday to Europe.
Where To Go in Europe
Choosing the destination is perhaps the trickiest task, as there are just so many places to see and every country has something unique to offer.
The question you have to ask yourself is: what do you expect from this trip?
Do you want to see old historical towns, party, indulge in cuisine, explore the traditional things or more modern?
Chances are that you will want to see a little bit of everything.
Your destination also comes down to you budget.
The more money you can "throw around" the more choices you have.
Generally speaking, eastern Europe is cheaper than western Europe, and northern Europe is even slightly more expensive than the south.
Scandinavia is not a budget destination, although it is possible with more thorough planning, but the experience is more that of typical Scandinavian than what foreigners imagine is European.
If you don't mind flying, you can choose to spend some time in different parts of Europe to truly experience the differences.
Germany and Austria are sort of similar to each other, but entirely different from the Balkan countries, and so on.
Transportation Options to Europe
Now, once you arrive in Europe, you're going to need a way of getting around as well.
The three most common options are to fly, travel by train and travel by bus.
Flying within Europe can be very cheap, but requires more detailed planning, and is only really beneficial if you're traveling a long distance.
To fly to the neighboring country will likely be more expensive and take more hassle than to go by train or bus.
To travel on land with bus and train will give you the opportunity to see more of Europe as you travel through the countries.
Bus is often cheaper than train, but also more uncomfortable.
Bus About and Eurolines are popular to travel around Europe with by bus, while EuRail is the obvious choice for train travelers.
How To Plan Your First Adventure Trip
Tips To Save Money On Your Bookings to Europe
Traveling to Europe is not a cheap investment, however, there are many ways you can make it cheaper by a little bit of effort.
Here are a few simple tips on how you can save more money on your next Europe trip and still get the most out of your destination.
Use A New Accommodation Booking Engine
It's easy to just get used to using the same hotel booking site every time you travel somewhere, but today there are so many great booking sites offering incredible deals and good value.
There are also many different types of accommodation to choose, that can both help you save money and give you a more memorable trip.
If you're open to new things, then renting out an apartment from one of the many vacation rental websites would be something for you.
You can choose to either rent out a room in someone's house or apartment, or get the whole villa or apartment to yourself, for a price much lower than the hotels.
Then you have couch surfing which is entirely free, however that often means that you'll spend a lot of time with your host, so it's not at all the same as a hotel, although you get to meet the locals and see a different side of the city you visit.
If this is not your thing, and you prefer staying in a hotel or B and B, then choose a booking engine that compares not just with its own hotels, but with other hotel booking sites.
Websites combines the results from different hotel search engines so that you get more options.
This will help you get a better deal and save money.
Let Someone Else Find The Flight Ticket
There is a brand new, very effective way of letting go of the hassle of looking for the best and cheapest flight and let somebody else do the job for you.
The website is called , where you can offer to pay the person who finds the cheapest or best flight money as a reward.
Considering that the person finding the flight can possibly find a better ticket saving you thousands of dollars, 40$ is nothing but a win win for both.
Get Savvy on Your Travel Extras Too
There are always those little extras that you forget when booking your trip, yes flight sorted, accommodation sorted but what about the airport parking.
Well thankfully you can now find comparison websites offering all the options and you just choose the cheapest for any particular car park.
Be sure to compare prices and were really easy to use plus of course offered stacks of great deals, especially if you can book in advance where the prices got really cheap.

The Bulgarian midfielder sustained the problem in the first half of Saturday's defeat at Sunderland and had to come off five minutes before half-time.
And boss Gerard Houllier has confirmed the injury is serious enough to keep the 31-year-old out for upto eight weeks, with a scan planned later this week to determine whether he needs surgery.
"We have lost Stiliyan Petrov for maybe two months," Houllier told Sky Sports News.
"We will know whether he needs an operation by the middle of the week.
"It's a shame because he was getting back to a good level."
Meanwhile, Villa held an open training session at Villa Park ahead of their Carling Cup clash with Burnley and Houllier paid tribute to the 10,000 fans that braved the freezing conditions to turn up.
"It shows that there is a real community at the club and I thought that in my first home game against Chelsea, the support was magnificent.
"This is one of the reasons why I came here because of the fans. It's a good club with a good fanbase."

The Fortune at the Edge of the Network [Venkatesh Rao, annotated]
Fresh Venkatesh Rao newsletter instalment that does a pretty good job of teasing out the implications of taking a tektological look at infrastructure through the lens of network theory... so good a job, in fact, that I'm going to grab and notate the whole thing, because he's managed to capsule a bunch of points I've been struggling to phrase clearly.
1/ "The last mile" is a phrase used by engineers to talk about the last ("leaf") like segments of large networks with approximate center-to-edge topologies.
2/ In all sorts of network logistics (transport, telegraph, telephone etc), historically the "last mile" has been the bane of infrastructure. It's where the messiest practical issues live.
3/ Right-of-way/eminent domain issues are politically/legally more complex (10 miles of cable laying in the countryside is easier than 1 block in a major city)
4/ Physical issues are more complex as well (water pipes, package deliveries, and fiber optics have different needs but often share pathways for geometry reasons).
[The above covers the basics, though it's far from basic -- see Keller Easterling's Organisation Space.]
5/ Last-mile regimes need not look like "paths" at all: waterways, spectrum rights, line-of-sight (view obstruction in real estate, glide paths for airplane landing approaches, building shadows)
6/ In the future, drone landing/takeoff logistics, Pokemon Go type AR-conflict rights, bikes vs self-driving cars, will present novel, subtle last-mile issues.
7/ Generally though, the bottleneck is increasingly moving from literal last mile to literal last inch. Phone-to-ear, UPS-truck parking spot to porch, NFC/bluetooth, cafe power outlets.
[In my own taxonomy, this means the bottleneck has moved to the interface layer.]
8/ In raw flow volume terms, the last mile probably accounts for the bulk of actual miles traveled by anything on a network due to sheer number of endpoints.
[Note this is the exact opposite of the way in which money tends to be allocated to network development and maintenance.]
9/ The last mile is the typically the last to go hi-tech. Containerization still stops and turns into break-bulk at city limits. Fiber optics still turns into local-loop copper (DSL) in many places.
10/ As the red !!! show in the cartoon, issues get more tricky in last-block to last-inch land. It's still physically and legally complex, but that isn't the hardest part anymore.
11/ Two forces make the last block especially hard: increased demand and inequality. The case of physical packages illustrates this well.
12/ Increased demand is obvious: postal systems/FedEx etc weren't built with this much small-package flow in mind. Neither were front porches or mailboxes.
13/ Inequality is less obvious: in an unequal society there is more incentive for low-level theft and pilfering, easiest at the last block.
[Less obvious to those of us used to taking a systems perspective, perhaps; the incentive factor demonstrates just how obvious it is to those who live at the ragged edges of networks.]
14/ Anecdotally, theft from porches etc. has risen: more temptation, more people in an economic condition where they can be tempted. But careful how you interpret this.
15/ As Anatole France sardonically observed, "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
16/ Concierge services for accepting packages are now increasingly a necessity in bigger cities in middle class apartment buildings. More people are getting personal packages delivered at workplaces.
[Note that this may be a convenience issue as much as a security issue, at least in the UK context... I'd happily take the risk on the occasional pilfered package if it meant I never had to arrange another red-card redelivery, but YMMV, obvs.]
17/ You also increasingly have both large, low-value packages (e.g. cat litter) that are awkward for small locker-based systems or stairwells, and small jewelry-level value packages (iPhones)
18/ Buildings change slowly, especially in old cities with civic gridlock. It will take a decades for new buildings to reflect last-block needs. Follow the writing of Kim-Mai Cutler for this action in San Francisco.
[So now we shift from (relatively) simple material logistics and on to service and data logistics...]
19/ Similar issues occur in other networks. Consider net metering models for solar power, charging needs of electric vehicles, shopping cart services, 1-hour delivery, meal-kit businesses, etc.
20/ There are now fights over charging in charging stations, homeowners are setting up informal charging services on lawns. Blue Apron customers pile up ice packs.
21/ Even more subtleties at the informational level: Airbnb etc. require more sophisticated security for the last block: key transfers, digital locks etc. Your wallet needs RFID scanner protection.
22/ And as more and more value in flow (VIF) is in the last block at any given time, incentives for conflict and crime increase.
23/ "Stealing" cable or electricity required some sophistication, "stealing" wifi was much easier…for a while. The opportunity space will increase at all levels of difficulty.
[Ubiquity of infrastructures plus proliferation of multi-system interfaces divided by privatisation/unbundling/splintering of 'utilities'... when markets encounter habituation, ugliness happens.]
24/ The Dyn DDoS attack relied heavily on IoT devices, particularly insecure surveillance cameras. The "attack surface" as security people call it, will only increase.
[Every new interface device is potentially an interface to any other networked interface. Chips with everything, as the headlines used to go.]
25/ ATM card fraud now uses very sophisticated last-inch tech: molded plastic fake keypads, fake stripe readers on top of real ones, tiny cameras. I recently had an ATM card compromised that way.
26/ The last block/inch is also has a non-criminal economy developing: from unlocking smart-contract rental cars to power outlets in cafes that charge for a charge.
[Criminal economies are a signal of opportunity; this is just as true at the edge of the network as it is at the centre.]
27/ A lot is low-value/high volume so online micropayments arguments ("just make it free"/"not worth financializing") apply. But not all.
[Note that in this case it can be obfuscatory to focus overmuch on the material technology involved; what's interesting about these cases is how the technology gets folded into a service offer. Ownership and control over the interface layer is the opportunity recognised by criminal an non-criminal economic actors alike.]
28/ Frederik Pohl once said "the job of the sci-fi writer is to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam." Traffic jams are usually at the leaves of infrastructure trees.
[Smart guy, Pohl. Good writer, too.]
29/ Literal traffic jams happen most near/in city downtowns. As s/w eats any network-provisioned service, traffic jams moves further down into capillaries.
[s/w = software, I think?]
30/ I like the holographic principle as a metaphor for for thinking about the effects of s/w-eats-a-network: more of the valuable information within a volume of space can live on its surface.
[OK, so this is where Rao's metaphor and one of my own come so close together that they almost bump noses: the infrastructural metasystem is also the metamedium, the medium of all media; hence all media is infrastructurally mediated; hence the metasystem is the veil upon which the Spectacle is projected. Logic of the Spectacle, cf. Debord: "that which is good appears, and that which appears is good"; extended by McKenzie Wark via William Gibson, "that which is secret is better [...] the secret is to the spectacle as art once was to culture. The secret is not the truth of the spectacle, it is the aesthetic form of the spectacle." So when "s/w-eats-a-network", what's really happening is that software is wrapping the deep function of the network up in a glossy package which takes Clarke's Third Law as its primary design principle.]
31/ For a network, the "volume" is the part behind the endpoints, which usually converges on one or more back-end centers. The "surface" is the set of all endpoints.
[This metaphor is really, really useful to me.]
32/ As a result, there is a LOT of economic value in the last block to last inch zone. C. K. Prahlad's famous fortune at the bottom of the pyramid idea generalizes to "edge of any network."
33/ In future, if current progress in brain implants continues, there may be an even bigger fortune in the "negative 1 inch" that goes into your head (disclosure: company mentioned in that article, Kernel, is a client).
[That's a pretty big 'if', IMO. But Rao knows his wider audience well, I suspect.]
34/ A general topological theory why this happens is that a more informationally powerful technology induces a higher-resolution network structure.
35/ World-eating new technologies extend the resolution of basic infrastructure networks: tens of miles for trains/planes, miles for cars, blocks for electricity, inches for wireless
36/ A network core can be defined as the low-resolution backbone where economics allows aggregation leverage, and low transaction costs for huge financial flows.
37/ This is anything you can call a "cloud" in some sense: a datacenter, a large dam, a power plant, a major interstate highway, a rail depot. I wrote about this idea in my Aeon essay American Cloud.
[Personal aside: Rao's American Cloud essay was part of the inspiration for m'colleague Adam Rakunas's second novel, Like A Boss.]
38/ At the edge otoh technology stops being organized by economics, and starts being organized by social norms at its resolution limit set by transaction costs: the price of an in-app purchase for example.
39/ So sociologically, the last mile/block/inch is where the market stops and what I call an economics of pricelessness, based on values and norms, starts to kick in.
40/ When large-scale disruption happens due to a major technology like s/w, social-norms space gets systematically pushed back by market space.
[Cf. Uber, Airbnb etc etc.]
41/ The ultimate reason is physics: this is tendency towards "plenty of room at the bottom" (Feynman). As the market occupies that room, sociology (and in the future, psychology) yields to economics
42/ The transient is ugly because while you're shifting regimes, you're converting social capital into financial capital, hurting social-capital-rich types (think priests) and enriching platform builders (think unicorn CEOs).
43/ The urban manifestation of these dynamics is gentrification: technology extending the power of markets into our community lives at increasing resolution.
44/ But if you think this process is almost over, think again. It's just beginning. You could say iOS and Android represent gentrified and slum-like digital neighborhoods in the last inch.
[There's a side-spur argument to be made about FOSS and open systems in general, here; as Rao is suggesting, FOSS can't remove these tendencies from networks, but can make it easier for people to have some control over their interfaces.]
45/ You know the old saying, "your freedom of action ends where my nose begins"? This is about to get pretty literal. There is a power struggle right by your nose/ear.
46/ But it isn't between free individuals and an enslaving techno-capitalist cloud. You never were that free an inch from your face. You were merely the captive of non-economic forces.
47/ At worst the struggle is between the tyranny of markets and the tyranny of unchosen neighbors. The tyranny of money and the tyranny of taboos.
[Scylla and Charybdis, eat your heart out.]
48/ At best though, what we have here is technology liberating you from the tyranny of neighbors. And which view is true for you is more within your control than you think.
49/ If you see technology as potential for increased agency, you can learn to rule the last mile like a gritty cyberpunk novel protagonist, even if you don't own a billionaire platform.
50/ If you see technology as increasing agency only for privileged others, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy and you will end up on the losing side of this process.
51/ You will also be on the losing side if you don't recognize that tyranny of neighbors ("hell is other people") is a factor, a dynamic the dystopian show Black Mirror explores well.
52/ In the Black Mirror future, technology does not contend with the power of communities. It becomes allied with it to suppress individual freedom even more.
[As the title of the series makes clear: it is merely reflecting society back at itself. Brooker repeatedly makes the point that he's not writing about technology, but that technology has become a handy way to enable plot points that would have been impossible just a decade ago (though the same phenomenon has killed off older plots, e.g. the missed phonecall). The (largely good-natured) joshing that BM has become "what if phones, but too much?" misses the point; BM's not about the phones, it's about the too much, and that's not a function of the phones.]
53/ If you think this is unlikely in the real world, think again, entire countries like France seem to be exploring that direction of evolution.
[UK, also.]
54/ This is not to absolve infrastructure titans and CEOs of big platform companies from all responsibility, or to abandon everybody to their own devices (heh!)
[No, but their position effectively denies us the possibility of taking that responsibility for ourselves; networks perform optimally as organisational monopolies, and as such are fundamentally incompatible with private ownership.]
55/ My buddy Tristan Harris has good thoughts on ethics in design for technology builders. I don't always agree with the details of his thinking, but he's right that with last-inch power comes great responsibility.
56/ If you've already decided "infrastructure creep" is bad, you'll use dystopian metaphors like "tentacles of capitalism" or "eye of Sauron" or "the participatory panopticon" (for Black Mirror version).
57/ I personally tend to think of technology as ideology agnostic: this would happen even if we had a different ideology than neoliberal clickbaitism driving it.
[We part ways a bit here: I'm with Kranzberg regarding the agnosticism or neutrality of technology, not least because technology is people and practices as well as material things, and people and practices are never ideologically neutral. However, I agree that a lot of the functions Rao is talking about here are endemic characteristics of networks in general, and would as such tend to occur even under different regulatory or socioeconomic regimes... but would they occur to the same extent, or at the same rate? I'm not sure, but I think it's a good question.]
58/ My preferred metaphor is the fingers/eyes of technology itself, considered as a whole (what Kevin Kelly calls the 'technium').
[Ugh, Kevin Kelly. Swap all of this guff out for Haraway's cyborg metaphor, which does all the same work without trying to pretend that people and the technologies they use in their daily lives are analytically separable in any useful or believable way.]
59/ The "eyes" (or senses more generally) are getting incredibly precision in what they can see. I think of last-inch/click-tracking level "seeing" as "retina logistics" by analogy with Mac displays.
60/ The "fingers" of technology are getting increasingly delicate and precise as well. If the last-mile actuation capacity of the cloud was a sledgehammer, we're at needlepoint now. Did your phone ding when this email arrived?
61/ This is scary to a majority, exhilarating to a minority, and as is the case for all big technology shifts, an existential crisis to those who don't break smart.
62/ And consistent with the general political/ideological position I generally adopt in breaking smart writings, overall, increasing sensing/actuation resolution of infrastructure is a good thing.
63/ The more fine-grained the presence of technology in our lives, the more generative potential there is for humans to level-up to new, more powerful modes of being.
[Generative potential is a double-edged sword.]
64/ Whether powerful technology existing an inch from your face is good or bad depends on how good you are at using it from that locus.
[True enough. Cropping off the last few points, which are mostly marketing, but the last one's worth saving for the first sentance in particualr:]
70/ There is a nonzero-sum fortune to be created at the edge of the network...
[Yes... yes, there is. But it's slipping away, moment by moment.]

"Topical probiotics are one of the most cutting edge concepts in skincare today"
– Dr. Erin Gilbert
GLOWBIOTICS probiotic skincare utilizes unique probiotic technology to help reverse aging, reduce inflammation and restore skin health from the inside out, to bridge a deeper connection between you, your skin and your health. Literally speaking, the term probiotics is derived from the Greek word pro, meaning "for" and biotic, meaning "life". Topical probiotics work from the inside out to strengthen the skin's ability to repair itself and to help defend it against a multitude of factors that can age the skin prematurely. When used topically, these body friendly bacteria can actually infuse life, health and vitality back into the skin.
Featured Product Slider
Yes, similar to the way ingestible probiotics (think yogurt, kombucha and supplements) can help benefit your health internally, studies show that infusing dull, aging and compromised skin with topical probiotics can actually help rebalance and strengthen the skin while re-awakening youthful processes within that naturally slow down as we age. As the pioneer of medical grade probiotic skin care, GLOWBIOTICS has created an entire retail range of probiotic formulas and complexes that can be integrated into any skincare routine and are proven to quickly restore balance, youth and radiance. We also utilize prebiotics to partner with our probiotic technology, making our formulas the most potent topical probiotic skin care solutions on the market today. GLOWBIOTICS products are also infused with unique blends of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that are carried into the skin with proprietary delivery systems that help rebuild, revive and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out.
Our proprietary GLOWBIOTICS Balancing Complex (found in every GLOWBIOTICS formula) is a powerful blend of probiotic and prebiotic bioactives, antioxidants and therapeutic nutrients including Kakadu Plum, which contains the highest form of vitamin C available – making this complex the ultimate in protecting the skin from free radical damage. This complex also efficiently staves off aging process and increases the health of the skin to produce that highly-coveted, ethereal glow. We also take pride in the fact that we never test our products on animals and we formulate without the usage of any known phthalates, sulfates, parabens, FD&C dyes or mineral oil. When using our topical probiotic skin care solutions, you can feel confident that you are using the safest, yet most effective solution to target your skincare needs.

Tagaytay is a little resort town about 40 minutes outside of Manila. It's perched on top of a mountain overlooking Lake Taal, inside of which sits the world's smallest active volcano.
Yes.. yes.. the volcano is nice and all.. but the FOOD is nicer! The fatness starts on the drive up from Manila. You'll find sweet white and yellow Japanese corn being sold along the road, Mr. Moo's fresh cheese stand, Loumar's ube tarts, and roadside fruit vendors peddling the freshest, sweetest pineapples you've ever tasted.
There's so much to eat in Tagaytay, I'm not even sure where I should start. I guess with the city's most famous dish – Bulalo. Apparently, Tagaytay's cooler climate and mineral-rich grasses produce the best beef, resulting in an incredibly flavorful and savory bulalo soup made from stewed shank and marrow bones. The broth alone is amazing, but spooning out the buttery, melty marrow from the shank bone only makes the experience better. LMZ makes a fine rendition of this dish. Have it with the bangus (fried milkfish) and a heap of rice and you'll be all set.
Another Tagaytay specialty is fried tawilis, a sort of freshwater fish related to the sardine. According to wikipedia, these little guys were once saltwater fish, but as volcanoes erupted and the landscape changed, they eventually became freshwater fish exclusive to this part of the Phillipines. Try them fried up and dipped in vinegar. Leslie's, a chain restaurant with a great view of the volcano, does a great fried tawilis dish. Order anything off their grill to accompany it, you won't be disappointed!
R. Lapids, Pork Specialist, specializes in.. well.. pork. Stop into their store along the main road for a heart-attack inducing dose of crispy fried chicharrones, or pork rinds. They have several different varieties that vary in size, flavor, and spiciness. For the adventurous eater, try the bulaklak, deep fried flower-shaped nuggets of pork organs (for the love of god, can someone tell me what part of the pig I am eating?) that are both crispy and soft/chewy. Incredible when dipped in the accompanying vinegar.
Crispy pata is one of the most memorable dishes I had in the Phillipines. Imagine an entire pork leg (knuckles included) simmered in a spiced broth, air-dried, and then the entire thing is deep fried! For me, eating the pata is all about ratio – got to have a bite that includes both the crunchy skin and the sticky flesh around the knuckle. Dipped in a vinegar soy sauce and served over white rice – crispy pata is heaven!
Mr. Moo's is a roadside stand that offers fresh cow, goat, and waterbuffalo milks and cheeses. Snap up a block of the freshly made cow cheese and a bag of pandesal and you'll have a wonderful breakfast. The cow cheese is a lot like Mexican queso blanco, mild and crumbly with a deliciously creamy flavor.

Much has been made about the secrecy and working conditions at Foxconn, where tens of millions iPhones and iPads are produced each year. New Year Time's excellent article "In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad" recently highlighted the long hours, and often harsh conditions workers have to endure. What the public has never seen though, is a true inside look at the factories that churn out your favorite iDevices 24/7 – until now that is. In a special Dateline episode airing tomorrow, co-anchor Bill Weir will offer a glimpse of the manufacturer's inner workings — from how Apple products are made to interviews with factory workers — after being given an unprecedented tour of a Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, China.
According to 9to5mac, a reliable source at Foxconn in China (the same source that tipped them off regarding Apple's plans to release the iPhone 4S instead of the 5 late last summer) has let it be known that the next iPhone (currently being called iPhone 5), is gearing up for production. It is said there are multiple sample next-gen iPhones that are floating around the factory and they all differ slightly from one another. Interestingly enough, the one thing they all have in common with each other is the 4+ inch display, which if true, means Apple will finally release an iPhone with a screen size comparable to other Android phones. In addition, the current samples so far are symmetrical in thickness (no teardrop shape that's been rumoured previously) and longer/wider than the current iteration, though none share the form factor of the iPhone 4/4s. It's important to remember that none of these prototypes are actually the final versions – many things can change from now until its actual release in the summer/fall of this year.
- Apple officially announces iPhone 4
- iPhone 4 available on June 24 in US, France, Germany, Japan and UK
Some say rumours travel faster than light. While there is no actual way to prove this, the whole Apple community lives and thrives on them. It even seems to have found a way to actually harness the power of rumours to stay afloat. And now, following the recent appearance of the possibly hi-res iPhone 4G (iPhone 3,1) in Apple's firmware, the future versions of the OS have been spotted in the wild as well. All of this may also point to the iSlate.
Apple have always marched to the beat of a different drum, the think different drum. While this results in unique and oftentimes, revolutionary products, there are times when their dread of conformity is sinister. The particular angle that I am throwing is their insistence on absolute secrecy, a secrecy that can largely be to blame for the death of a 25 year-old Foxconn employee, Sun Danyong.

COLONOSCOPY ISSUES GASTROENTEROLOGIST FROM PENNSYLVANIA Physicians can be criticized and sued for problems that fall under the headings of errors of omission and commission. One of the more common problems that can be considered a problem of omission is a failure to diagnose colon cancer. Colonoscopy is credited with being, at least to a large extent, responsible for a greater than 40% reduction of colon cancer mortality. Although it is an excellent diagnostic tool, the best currently available, it is not perfect by any means. The major reduction of colon cancer and death attributable to early diagnosis, and polypectomy, primarily of distal lesions, those below the splenic flexure. Lesions in the ascending...Read more
Missed Diagnosis Hematology/Oncology Expert From New York Among the most successful matters of this kind are cases of missed diagnosis. In out rushed, fragmented health care system, where doctors don't often talk to patients and not even to one another, it is not uncommon for lab result, a finding on imaging, or even a pathology report to go missing or to be missed. In such cases, the defense cannot argue the facts and will often invoke scientifically questionable theoretical concepts such as doubling time and micrometastases to claim that the patient was already doomed, even as early as the time of the missed diagnosis. It is then my responsibility to explain why...Read more
Critical Care Technology By Critical Care Expert in Maryland During the past 20 years, there has been a slowly developing but drastic change in the practice of Critical Care Medicine: The technology of Critical Care has undergone a revolution. We can support almost any key organ in the body artificially, including lungs (ventilator, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), kidney (dialysis as well as sophisticated dialysis that does not decrease blood pressure, CVVH), heart (left ventricular assist device, defibrillating pacers, coronary stenting, etc.), liver (MARS), and vascular system (pressor medications, intra-aortic balloon pump). We have sophisticated and accurate ultrasound devices to determine the cause of problems such as lung collapse and low blood pressure. We can...Read more
Changed Records Nurse from Pennsylvania COMMON FEATURES OF MISSED APPENDICITIS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPT Would it have been possible to prevent blindness in an extremely immature infant? Despite showing all the associated risk factors for development of retrolental fibroplasia (RLF), the infant's eyes were not examined until the 121st day of life. The exam revealed bilateral retrolental fibroplasia at Grade V, with poor prognosis for vision. Medical Advisors was asked to determine whether or not an eye examination should have been done at an earlier date. If so, would that have prevented eye damage? Following birth, the infant was placed in the intensive care nursery for therapy of respiratory distress syndrome--Hyaline membrane disease....Read more
Appendicitis: Failure to Diagnose in the Emergency Department (ER) Emergency Room Physicians from Chicago COMMON FEATURES OF MISSED APPENDICITIS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPT Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical diagnosis made in the ER and the failure to diagnose acute appendicitis is among the five leading causes of successful ER suits, accounting for 15% of the total dollars paid out for ER malpractice litigation. It is important to emphasize that as many as 30% of patients with acute appendicitis have been seen previously and incorrectly diagnosed by a prior physician. The classic case of acute appendicitis is most often only found in books, as a large number of cases do not have...Read more
Hospital Billings General Surgeon from Georgia Hospital billings are notoriously inaccurate. Overcharges commonly are in the 20% or 25% range. Patients only see the insurance adjustment and blindly pay their 20% thinking they are saving money To save 25% on a $ 4000 bill puts $ 1000 back in their pocket.. Perhaps more distressing are billings paid by Estate settlements and malpractice cases. Often a hospital bill in these cases follows a long period of costly hospitalization. Bills in the $ 300 to $ 400 thousand range are not unusual. A proper review of these bills could result in a savings to an estate lawyer or liable malpractice insurance carrier in the...Read more
Medical Aspects of Three Dimensional Reconstruction By Radiologist in Delaware Over the past decade, medical imaging with three dimensional reconstruction (rendering) has become a valuable tool for not only the radiologist in diagnosing various pathologic conditions throughout the body, but more recently as an adjunct for the attorney in demonstrating the specific etiology for the pain caused by a particular injury. The concept of three dimensional imaging has been utilized to detect and confirm subtle findings suggested on more common 2-D images. This concept starts with a two dimensional CT or MRI image and then we stack contiguous two dimensional images in various planes which are modified by software algorithms via a...Read more
DIABETES Endocrinologist from Pennsylvania Diabetes is epidemic in the United States. Especially in Latinos and African Americans. Diabetes affects 21 million Americans- 7% of the population - and will grow to 22 million by 2025. A new diagnosis of diabetes is made 2200-3500 times each day, yet 25% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed! The estimated costs of managing people with diabetes approaches a staggering 132 billion dollars a year. Thus Type II diabetes represents a major health care crisis and continues to grow. Diabetes vents its damaging effects on multiple organs.

Hospital Administrator from Florida Medical malpractice cases require stringent and comprehensive clinical review and attorneys always employ medical experts to review their cases. Often overlooked is the use of a hospital administration expert who can add significantly to the case by evaluating the corporate responsibilities of the hospital involved in the matter. It is important to utilize a person who has actually worked as a hospital administrator and, indeed, some states require a person actively engaged in the field. While many physicians feel that they have hospital administrative experience, it may not be adequate to evaluate hospital compliance with accreditation standards, licensure regulations, and administrative policy and procedures. As a person with nearly...Read more
BARIATRIC SURGERY – MALPRACTICE ISSUES General Surgeon from New York City Over the past several years, the number of bariatric surgery operations (surgery for weight loss) has grown from a handful to over 150,000 procedures per year in the USA alone, increasing faster than any other procedure. Since these procedures are complex and the patients are of high surgical risk, the number of complications and mortalities are significant. Inevitably, concerns about malpractice have followed. In evaluating a potential claim for malpractice in a bariatric surgical case, several issues require analysis. Indications -- The indications for bariatric surgery are well established, starting with an NIH consensus conference in 1992. The patient who is a...Read more

We Are Your Friends Trailer: Zac Efron, Sexy DJ, Is the Voice of a Generation
It's like The Social Network, but for EDM bros.
The first trailer for Max from Catfish's We Are Your Friends is really straining to be a Grand Statement About Millennials, and hey, maybe the movie will pull it off. Zac Efron stars as a wannabe-DJ dealing with the recession and social media and the girl from "Blurred Lines." Finally, EDM has its very own Social Network.

From the beginning of my veganism and exercise my biggest desire and struggle has been to lose that last bit of weight. I have never been fat and when I went vegan i did lose a bit of weight. I have made a new diet plan and if people could give me any suggestions for it and some cutting advice or any advice at all lol that would be so helpful!
I have decided to try the carb cycling thing that i had read about. Basically there will be a highish carb day, a normal carb day, and a low carb day. Monday, Thursday, and Saturday are normal. Tuesday and Friday are high, and Sunday and Wednesday are low.
I drink lots of water and green and jasmine tea throughout the day. Usually about 6 small pots of tea and 4 or 5 glassed of water. I quit soda and i don't really like juice or coffee and i rarely drink alcohol and when i do it is just a glass of wine or vodka with just about anything. Vodka is my friend :]. I am also not a big fan of sweets.
For breakfast nomatter what day it is i always eat 1/2 cup of oatmeal with 1 cup of plain sugarfree soymilk and cinnamon. No matter where i am or what im doing. (if only i could be as consistent with all my meals!!)
Also every gym day i drink a pre and post work out soy protein shake
High Day:
Breakfast: Usual
Lunch: 1/2 cup brown rice or noodles, 1/2 cup veg, 1/2 cup legumes or tofu
Snack: mini muffin (home made oatmeal and almond 45 calories)+ 7 almonds
Dinner: Healthy moderate to high calorie meal (For example tonight i am eating spaghetti with tomato sauce, tofu, mushrooms, and salad)
Snack: sweet potato
Normal Day:
Breakfast: Usual
Lunch: 1/2 cup brow rice, 1/2 cup veg, 1/ cup legumes or tofu
Snack: Fruit (1 apple, few pieces of watermelon etc) 1 cucumber
Dinner: Healthy moderate to low carb meal (Yesterday i made a broccoli, tofu and brown rice stir-fry)
Snack: salad or 1/4 cup almonds
Low day:
Breakfast: Usual
Lunch: 1 cup veg, 1 cup legumes or tofu
Snack: Salad
Dinner: Low or no carb meal (vegetable soup or chili or something)
Snack: 1/4 cup of almonds
I tried this before but it wasnt long enough to notice any real differences because i had to go on a trip and then there was thanksgiving so that was 4 days of me scrounging around to make myself a little stirfry because my family's fridge was full of saturated animal fats. Also throughout the day i like to nibble on a piece or two of dark chocolate with peanut butter but it is never very much.
My goal for exercising is 20 minutes of treadmill or elliptical at the gym before my work out plus zumba and swimming once a week and 2 yoga sessions and 2 belly dancing sessions. If i could have any advice or help that would be so appreciated. I have gained muscle and i feel like i exercise a lot and eat healthy but i just cant manage to lose that last bit of fat and if i did i think it would make a HUGE difference and i would show a lot more muscle.
Thank you.

Re: Need some advice and diet and cutting advice
Oh also on Fridays i like to have one cheat meal which usually street food which is stir-fried noodles with grilled tofu and veggies. The noodles are cooked with quite a bit of oil but the tofu and veg aren't bad sometimes instead i might have some french fries. Let me know what you think of this too.

Musician and comedian, Mickey Katz (1909-1985) played countless Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, anniversaries and other various family functions in and around Los Angeles during the 50s and 60s when he wasn't busy recording for Capitol Records or touring with one of his various Yiddish-American revues.
We are seeking photographs, 8mm or 16mm home-movies, and audio recording of Mickey and his band playing at these family functions for an up-coming documentary.
Besides Jewish celebrations, Mickey also played at many Roma and Hispanic family functions.
If you attended a function in which Mickey and his band appeared we'd love to hear from you.
If you have any photographs or home-moves, we REALLY want to hear from you.

Maybe you wanted to pretend you could fly in the air and use super strength to fight bad guys like Superman or perhaps use cool gadgets like Batman. But maybe superheroes are not your thing and you wanted to be the villain in the likes of Joker or Doomsday. Then Infinite Crisis is the game for you.

A Lubbock, Texas, resident and Saudi citizen was recently convicted by a federal jury on the charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari was indicted in connection with the purchase of equipment and chemicals needed to build an improvised explosive device and his research of potential targets in the United States.
The verdict was reached in the Northern District of Texas. Sentencing has been scheduled for the beginning of October in Amarillo, Texas. Aldawsari faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000.
According to court documents and evidence introduced during the trial, Aldawsari, who was admitted into the United States on a student visa in 2008, had been researching how to build an IED online. The affidavit alleges that he also took substantial steps towards purchasing most of the ingredients needed for a device and had sought out targets in the United States online.
Alsawsari allegedly described his desire to commit violent acts and become martyred in blog postings and in a personal journal.
"While many people are responsible for thwarting Aldawsari's threat and bringing him to justice, we owe a debt of gratitude to all the members of the North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, and especially to the hundreds of hardworking and dedicated FBI agents, analysts, linguists, and others," U.S. Attorney Sarah Saldana said. "Their efforts, coupled with the hard work and excellent cooperation from the Lubbock Police Department and the Texas Tech Police Department, are the reason we were able to stop this defendant from carrying out a catastrophic act of terrorism."

CNC Skills Assessment
using the CNC Test Device (CNCTD)
The CNC Test Device is designed to screen and train for CNC setup operators with production responsibilities. The device provides a means of quantitatively screening for CNC operator setup positions, for use in evaluating job applicants, and as a grading device for training purposes.
The candidate is given assessment instructions, a job setup sheet, and is given an opportunity to familiarize himself/herself with the CNC machine. The assessment identifies and measures the candidates ability to set up the work holding device and indicate square, ability to zero out X-Y-&-Z axis, ability to measure and load a tool table for four different cutting tools, ability to use edge finder, flip indicator, height gauge, dial caliper and micrometer correctly, ability to read a print and follow setup sheet, manufacture CNC parts and verify the part has been made correctly to the QC inspection sheet.
The CNC Skills Assessment Program takes the uncertainty out of the hiring process. No longer will hiring managers need to hope a candidate possesses the skills and experience they represent. The assessment program separates individuals by skill levels, identifying the strongest candidates to drive productivity in your shop.
The process is designed to separate CNC production operators based on the speed and accuracy the candidate completes the set of instructions.
Lower the Risk & Cost of Hiring by Identifying Skills Prior to Hire
As the skills shortage grows more acute each year and margin pressures mount, it's more critical than ever before to make the right hiring decision. Our validated Manufacturing Skills Assessment Program, using portable assessment machines and a Hands-On, Performance-Based methodology, identifies the most skilled, most capable, and most trainable candidates and incumbents.
Hands-On, Performance-Based
Identifying and quantifying skills prior to hire is the single most effective means to insure a quality, highly productive hiring decision. This solution provides a Return-On-Investment over 100% the first year of implementation. These industrial skills assessments have been administered over 1,000,000 times generating savings in excess of $10 billion for our manufacturing clients.
The efficacy of the assessment program has been confirmed by over three dozen validation studies conducted by Industrial/Organizational PhD's and by over forty-five years of success driving productivity in the field.
Read more about how our Skills Assessment Programs can be used to issue college credit for participants based on the assessment score achieved.

Otto- the free market we had before regulation was one where children worked 8 hours a day and adults worked more than a dozen hours a day. Pay was excruciatingly low, while working conditions and benefits were virtually nonexistent.
A combination of early regulatory acts and committees along with unions turned it into something habitable for a brief time until certain corporations were able to establish themselves as monopolistic across the US.

A few weeks ago we told you about the "Six Seasons and a Movie" Community fan art show taking place in Los Angeles June 23-24. Well apparently there's a documentary being made about it and some of the Community fans whose creations are being featured in the exhibit. Embedded above is a trailer for the doc.
BTW, those aren't Star Wars action figures over the Community fan below's shoulder — those are highly specialized seduction weapons, okay!

Repair: Rewiring your Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
2 years ago I, with much excitement, ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's. Both Gleb and Matt has a pair, and after listening to theirs… Apple's little iPod buds just didn't cut it anymore. I loved my pair so much that their connector ended up being severely bent when i squeezed past a, um, slightly oversized person sitting next to me in economy class on a flight back to South Africa. Anyways, the deed was done and the headphones became pretty much unusable, since only the one channel was getting through the bent pin!
I finally got around to rewiring them, which was more tricky than i expected! So here's a post for others trying to do the same thing.
On stripping the connector, you discover 4 wires, rather than the expected 3:
First thing's first, TIN THESE WIRES WITH SOME SOLDER! I had no idea that the copper strands themselves were covered by a thin film of resin, which needs to be burned off with some solder. If you try to connect an alligator clip straight to the bared wire, you get no connection, causing much confusion.
The 4 wire mystery was solved when I peeked into the left earphone. The two drivers are separately wired all the way to the connector. Two wires per channel = 4 wires. The mapping I discovered is as follows:
White – LEFT, GROUND
Black – LEFT, SIGNAL
Blue – RIGHT, GROUND
Red – RIGHT, SIGNAL
If you're interested, inside the left headphone there's a little splitter board:
I bought a nice connector from Radioshack and wired this up. Be really careful when soldering the wires to the connector and don't use too much heat! The shielding melts quickly and you don't want your cable all melted together inside. I connected the two grounds from the two drivers together, which worked just fine.
After doing this, I was rewarded with a fantastic set of cans working again!
