San Antonio, TX - A River Runs Through
There's no better way to pass the time than sitting outside on a sunny day sipping a cold beer and watching the world pass by. Add in historical and culturally significant sites and a lazy river and you have San Antonio, TX.
We've spent a lot of time in San Antonio. Being there is very relaxing and I get a sense of homecoming as soon as I land at the airport.
Whenever we're in San Antonio we stay on the River Walk. The San Antonio River Walk is a public park that is open 365 days a year. It's lined with restaurants, hotels and attractions.
There are many great places to stay. A few of my personal favorites are The Hotel Contessa, The Hyatt Regency River Walk and the The Omni La Mansion del Rio. All are great hotels with direct access to the River Walk and right in the heart of all that it has to offer.
San Antonio is famed for its many missions, the most famous of course being the Alamo. Four of the missions are located in San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The Alamo is not part of the park and is located at a separate site. Visiting the Missions National Park and the Alamo are definite must do's. The history and architecture are amazing. Free guided tours, movies, and demonstrations are scheduled throughout the week.
A good way to see the city is to take a trolley tour. You can get a Hopper pass that allows you to use the trolley all day. You can get on and off at any of the scheduled tour locations. It's a great way to visit the various sites throughout the city.
Another option is to take a Segway tour. I haven't done this yet but it's on my list for my next visit. You can spend a couple of hours touring around some of the cities main attractions. The Segway tours even offer a ghost tour. Sounds like fun!
A few other must see sites are:
The Market Square - El Mercado. A three-block outdoor plaza lined with restaurants, shops and produce stands near San Antonio's city center, Market Square is the largest Mexican market in the U.S. El Mercado is home to Mi Tierra. A really fun Tex-Mex restaurant that is open 24 hours a day. The Market Square
La Vallita is a historic arts village in downtown San Antonio. It's one square block filled with artists, craftsman, restaurants and shops. A place to pick up a few gifts for friends and family. Or yourself. La Vallita is accessible from the River Walk. La Vallita
Take a walk through HemisFair Park. The park was built to host the 1968 World's Fair and is home to The Tower of the Americas. HemisFair Park
We can't talk about San Antonio without talking about the terrific food. San Antonio is home to the best Tex-Mex food and some of the best BBQ in the country. If brisket is your thing you're in for a real treat,Texans know how to smoke a brisket. Brisket sandwiches, brisket dinners, brisket tacos, try them all.
Another local treat is the puffy taco. Puffy, masa taco shells filled with all manner of taco fillings. They can be found on menus all over town.
Head on down to San Antonio for a visit. Grab a table at a restaurant by the river, order a local Shiner beer or an icy margarita, sit back and watch the parade of people and the river laze by. Grab a few tacos for dinner, listen as the sound of mariachis drift across the river, take a deep breath and relax, you can always go sight seeing tomorrow.

Volunteers sought for Team In Training
The Maryland Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT) program is recruiting volunteers to help in the fight against blood cancers by raising funds for the society as members train to walk or run in honor of local patients.


text: For those of you who were kind enough to take an interest and to sign petitions and such, please know that we heard this morning that my beloved sister-in-law, Homa Hoodfar, who was imprisoned in Iran more than three months ago, was released and deported this morning. We are beside ourselves with joy. Thanks for letting me share this ordeal with you, and I am very grateful for all the support I received from the community. Really, we are very happy today.

Monday Learning content are contributed by RealAcad.
Remember the story of the Japanese factory achieved zero error at quality checking points with just 2 footprints and a red dot?
Quality checking has always been a tough point in the production line, given its strict requirements on precision. Factories around the world have been trying many ways by providing extensive trainings to their workers, printing detailed instructions for them on how to screen for errors, but yet errors resulted.
Then, one Japanese factory cracked the code. They simply drew a pair of footprints on the floor and a red dot on the wall. Every worker instinctively stood on them and looked up towards the red dot where the meters were. They achieved zero error with such simple yet high visual tools.
This week, let's remember to use visual instructions of the expected process & outcome to make things more intuitive. I realize that it is hard…I'm still struggling to make the Monday learnings visual!

Inside the room you can create a cool corner of relaxation, a single armchair and ottoman by the window not only allows you to relax, you also will feel the warmth of the sun.
Image 2:
The white is a staple of all time, you can combine it with all the colors, but you can contrast it with furnishings, carpets and decorative accents, a plant, a table lamp or a pillow can give you a new 'look' again in spring .

If you want your room look more spacious, you may decorate only the necessary. You do not need many accessories. The curtains can enrich the texture of the natural environment that can be part of the interior.

John and Gill Wagner live some of the time in Los Angeles, where they raised two sons, Tom and Joe. John grew up in Ventura County working on his families lemon and avocado orchards. John attended UCLA, and completed a Bachelors and Masters in Physics. John pursued a career in finance, but wanted to return to agriculture. John has completed the UC Davis Certificate in Winemaking. Gill was born in England, but has lived in the States for many years. Gill serves on several boards, the most important are related to the homeless situation in Los Angeles. Gill completed the first section of the UC Davis Certificate in Winemaking and then was defeated by the chemistry.
"Our connection with the Santa Barbara wine world began about ten years ago and has grown stronger every year.
We fell in love with the beautiful countryside, the fascinating people, the amazing hospitality of 'wine' people, and of course the wonderful wine made in this magical region.
Our commitment to the area was sealed when we purchased Peake Ranch and decided we wanted to build a winery and a small house on the property.
Peake Ranch has a wonderful history of special people who roamed the land. We respect that legacy and plan to honor it in every way we can; from the way we grow our grapes, to the people we surround ourselves with, and the hospitality we plan to extend. We are excited to become part of a very special community.
With respect to the sense of gratitude we feel, each year Peake Ranch will support a special cause. For our second vintage we have chosen The Weingart Center, based in the heart of Skid Row in Los Angeles. Their mission is to empower and transform lives by delivering innovative solutions to combat poverty and break the cycle of homelessness."
Paul Lato is a Polish-born, Canadian-educated sommelier. After spending ten years in the Toronto restaurant trade, he decided to move to the Central Coast of California to dedicate himself to the production of high-end Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Now in his 14th year of winemaking, Lato's aim has always been to convey a European sensibility in the wine while also unlocking the great potential of California vineyards. His wines are sold in the best restaurants in the United States, as well as Europe and Japan, and have garnered critical acclaim since the very beginning.
Mike spent most of his life in vineyards and viticulture is both a profession and avocation. He grew up working in his family's grape nursery leading to an early interest in viticulture. Commencing with the conclusion of education at UC Davis he was a researcher, author and educator at the University of California, Davis for 30+ years. He was also vineyard manager for the University's legendary Oakville Station. Mike joined the Peake team in 2017 and looks forward to continued viticultural adventures.
Born and raised in the Santa Ynez Valley, Fidencio Flores' love for agriculture developed at a young age. As a young child on Buttonwood Farm and Winery, Fidencio Flores experienced row crop farming, animal husbandry, and his first taste of viticulture. He graduated from Chico State in 2015 with a major in Agriculture Business Finance and a minor in Crop and Soil science. He furthered his education by attending viticultural and enology classes at Allan Hancock College. Mr. Flores returned in the spring of 2015 committed to nurture the valley that nurtured him as a child. Ultimately, he hopes to produce the best grapes in the central coast, transforming and creating sustainability within the community and his vineyards.
Daisy, the Vineyard Dog, was born in Mississippi, but at an early age decided to move to California to further her career as a vineyard supervisor. While still working on her gopher eradication skills, she maintains a strong oversight of Peake Ranch.

Lumbini is the place of birth of the famous Gautama Buddha, the initiator of Buddhism, who was born in the 7th or 6th century BC. Lumbini is a Sanskrit word which means lovely in English. As the Gautama Buddha was born in this place, so it is Buddhist pilgrimage site. It is one of the four major pilgrimage sites of the Buddhists according to the major event that took place in the life of Gautama Buddha. Lumbini is located in the Nepalese town of Kapilavastu, district Rupandehi, near the Indian border.
About the birth of Gautam Buddha
Rendering to the Buddhist traditions and beliefs Buddha was given birth by his mother named Maya Devi (or Mayadevi), on her way to her parent's home in Devadaha. The Buddha was born in Lumbini in the month of May and in the year 642 BC. When the mother of Gautama Buddha started to have labor pains she clutched at the branches of the shade tree and under this tree Siddharta Gautama, the future Buddha was born. According to the legend, Buddha announced "this is my final birth" as he was brought into the world by his mother. Some of the traditions also state that Gautama Buddha walked instantaneously after his birth and took seven steps. While walking wherever he placed his foot a lotus flower blossomed and there were 7 lotus flowers, meaning he took seven steps.
Emperor Ashoka Visted Lumbini
The great emperor Ashoka who converted to Buddhism visited Lumbini in 249 BC and ordered the construction of 4 stupas and a Stone pillar, the pillar is known as Ashoka's pillar and it has an engraving that interprets as: "King Piyadasi (Ashoka), beloved of devas, in the 20th year of the coronation, himself made a royal visit, Buddha Sakyamuni having been born here, a stone railing was built and a stone pillar erected to the Bhagavan ["blessed one"] having been born here. Lumbini village was taxed reduced and entitled to the eight part (only)".
After this many monasteries and temples were built in the area of Lumbini until the 9th century then there was a halt because Buddhism declined in this area after the arrival of Hinduism and Islam. Only the sculptures were left in this place which were well-regarded and admired by the local women as a fertility symbol. The garden where the great Buddha was born got lost for about a thousand years.
Present day Lumbini:
Lumbini enjoys a great location that is at the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Lumbini is filled with Ficus religiosa ( Peepal tree). It is a huge garden with lots of these trees. Mostly Hindus are residents of this area but there are many Buddhist temples and shrines from numerous nations and these are scattered around the holy site.
One of these many temples hold an immense importance that is the Maya Devi Temple. This temple is built at the same place where Gautama Buddha was born. This temple is located at the place where there are other old temples and stupas which also consist of the stupa built by the great emperor Ashoka.
Ancient ruins of this place are protected by new temples which are just the white plain walls which spots the place of Buddha's birth exactly where it happened. The sculpture made of sandstone is preserved in the national museum in Kathmandu because of its delicacy it is placed there with extra care and delicacy. On the top of this temple there can be viewed a square tower identical to the one that can be seen in Kathmandu. This tower has eyes carved in it on each side which are said to be the eyes of Buddha and there is a golden acme on the top.
Before giving birth to the Gautama Buddha Maya Devi took bath in a pool which is considered to be sacred in Buddhist religion. This pool is situated on the south side of the temple. It also believed by the Buddhist that 2 dragons gave bath to Gautama Buddha after his birth in this pool making it more holy and sacred for the Buddhists.
Except for these places there are many other Buddhist temples in Lumbini. These temples are very old with the foundations dating from 2nd century BC to the 9th century AD and there also 2 temples built on modern styles. One of the 2 modern style temples is built in Tibetan style and it is named as the Dharma Swami Maharaja Buddha Temple. This was built by the king of Mustang. The other temple is based on Nepalese Theravada style, named as the Lumbini Buddha Vihar and it was built by the Nepalese government. Then there is Japanese peace stupa which 41 meters high and it is located in the northern part of the gardens.
The Lumbini Museum:
Lumbini also has its own museum the Lumbini Museum which displays most of the artifacts from the mautyan and Kushna periods and many other religious manuscripts discovered at the site of Lumbini. With museum there lies the Lumbini International Research Institution. The sole purpose of this institution is to study Buddhism and other religions and it has a collection of books on religion, arts and architecture
Lumbini has a peaceful environment and beautiful surroundings. This makes it the best place for meditation by soaking in the peace of the place. People around the world does not focus on Lumbini just because of pilgrimage and tourism, this place is special to many people owing to the spiritual renewal, center of cultural exchange and symbol of peace. Lumbini has highly civilized population and the natural prosperity of the place is extremely high. It is believed that this place holds the devotional Buddha feelings in the air
The best way to visit this place and view all the beautiful places therein is by hiring a bike and riding it around the temples. There are few no bike riding zones but you can always walk on your feet and add more the beauty of this place.

Recently, I finished a journal and opened up a new one. For those of you who are frequent journalers, you may be able to understand that feeling of closing out a journal and starting another. It can be a significant transition. My journal has always been a loyal companion along the way. Never judging what I write in its crisp linen pages. Always allowing space for me to go on as long as I need to about a topic until I have fully expressed my thoughts and emotions.
I tend go through phases with my journaling. Sometimes writing for a few days in a row and sometimes letting a few weeks slip by between entries. My most recent journal started in May 2016 and it carried me up until last week. This particular journal was especially hard to close out, because it contained all of the entries from the time when my Dad was sick and after he passed away.
As I was sitting out on the balcony preparing to start my new journal, it occurred to me that my journals have so much information and yet I rarely go back and read them. Mostly, I use them to process a topic that is weighing on my mind or to brainstorm ideas for the future. Of course, I have also used them to document conversations with crazy ex-boyfriends or deal with stress in my work or family life. Once the information is written down, I tend to just let it go.
Sometimes I feel like I learn some of the same lessons over and over. And maybe I do. If I took time to read my old journals (or my blog entries for that matter) then maybe I wouldn't have to experience that feeling. So I decided to try an experiment.
My journals date back to high school. Of course there are years in there where I barely wrote anything and other years where I wrote an entire novel about my life. It would feel too overwhelming to try and read all of that information in a few days or even a few weeks. So instead, I have decided to pick one day and go back through all of my journals to see where I was and what I was doing on or around that day throughout the years.
I am not sure what I will learn from this exercise. Or whether I will learn anything at all. But I am curious to see where it leads. My journals are back in Michigan so I won't have access to them until this weekend. But as soon as I finish my little expedition, I will share the results with all of you.

Now one of the biggest issues with electric cars, is that they have a limited range, take forever to recharge, and electric vehicle charging stations generally look like old postbox in a dark corner of some mall parking lot. Elon Musk aims to change that in a big way, not only is Tesla building an ambitious network of Supercharge stations that will recharge your Model S in about 30 mins for free.
Stations will also offer a battery swap system that will allow you swap battery packs for about the same cost as a tank of gas. The best part is that the swap takes around 90 seconds, the video below shows how quickly the swap system works and the battery is remounted to factory specs, all without even getting out of your car.
I have to say that the other thing I really love about the Tesla Supercharger Stations is they look amazing. What is also impressive is the speed of the expansion that Tesla has planned. While there are currently only 8 stations open today, by summer 2013 there will be 27, but the end of the year coast to coast travel will be possible, and by 2015 you will be able to drive 98% of the roadways in the US and Canada. I would consider an electric car if this all comes about, but just so long as there is still a gas station for my Mini.
Check out the video below showing the battery swap.

Benefits of Plugin-Based Heuristic Optimization Software Systems
S. Wagner, S. M. Winkler, E. Pitzer, G. K. Kronberger, A. Beham, R. Braune, M. Affenzeller - Benefits of Plugin-Based Heuristic Optimization Software Systems - LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE, Vol. 4739, No. 4739, 2007, pp. 747-754
Plugin-based software systems are the next step of evolution in application development. By supporting fine grained modularity not only on the source code but also on the post-compilation level, plugin frameworks help to handle complexity, simplify application configuration and deployment, and enable users or third parties to easily enhance existing applications with self-developed modules without having access to the whole source code. In spite of these benefits, plugin-based software systems are seldom found in the area of heuristic optimization. Some reasons for this drawback are discussed, several benefits of a plugin-based heuristic optimization software system are highlighted and some ideas are shown, how a heuristic optimization meta-model as the basis of a thorough plugin infrastructure for heuristic optimization could be defined.

Expired paint containers represent the single largest component of household hazardous waste in North America. Typically, municipalities accept paint cans at their local recycling facilities and occasionally offer special "Haz Waste Days" at which time the general public can drop off hazardous household goods. Certified hazardous waste handling companies are then able to attend to collect and segregate the various wastes and deposit them into sealable containers for shipping to their recycling facilities. These companies charge a premium for collecting and processing paint cans. Mind you, a significant percentage of household paint cans are "hidden" in regular trash and represent a health hazard as they reach landfill areas.
Most paint cans still contain paint, and methods of recovery are often very labour intensive. Typically, a recycling operation opens and inspects each can individually, after which they are sorted into either latex or oil based categories. They are then manually emptied into designated holding containers. A significant amount of liquid residue still remains in the can.
PaintKrush™ is the first high capacity automatic paint can processor. Our technology efficiently separates the paint from the container by compressing the metal components into dense briquettes. Cans are subjected to extreme pressures through the use of Kanviromental's patent pending Krush™ toggle drive.
It creates 2 revenue generating commodities:
- Cans compressed into briquettes are considered premium scrap if they contain less then 3 percent liquid residues and have a density of up to 250 lbs/cu. ft.
- A value added co-mingled paint output can be sold as a basic grey primer or optimally, the colours can be separated and diverted to other tanks for purposes of resale.
PaintKrush™ is controlled via a touch screen interface. Operators simply load product and push the start button and PaintKrush™ will cycle until it senses the hopper is empty. A "clean-in-place" system allows the interior of the machine to be efficiently and easily cleaned. This facilitates batch processing of each type of paint. The metal briquettes pass through a wash system to maximize scrap value.

Insider Arthritis Tips Newsletter December 2010
December 15, 2010
"Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain."
Arthritis News From November 2010Enbrel May Help Improve Growth In Children With Juvenile Arthritis
Katrina Woznicki writing for WebMD reported that, according to a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatism, "a drug used to treat inflammatory arthritis increased growth rates among children with juvenile arthritis, a disease that affects children's joints and can stunt their growth." In a study comparing treatment with Enbrel, methotrexate, or Enbrel plus methotrexate " among 594 children ages two to 18 with juvenile arthritis," researchers found that "overall, the children taking Enbrel or Enbrel plus methotrexate experienced steadily increasing improvements in height, weight, and BMI compared with those who took methotrexate alone."
Comment: I found this article really hit home because one of my children developed juvenile arthritis at the age of 10. He was put on Enbrel and is now 20 and doing well.
FDA Approves Cymbalta To Treat Musculoskeletal Pain
Comment: Im not sure where this medication fits in for my patients but at least its an option to think about.
Comment: This is an important development
well see what happens. The meds for RA continue to evolve.
New RA remission criteria unveiled
New criteria to define clinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis, endorsed by the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), provide a realistic standard for drug trials and give clinicians a better guide for treating patients, researchers said recently. The new criteria define remission as no more than one swollen joint
and one tender joint, a C-reactive protein (CRP) level of no more than 1 mg/dL, and a Patient Global Assessment score of no more than 1, said David Felson, MD, of Boston University,
co-chairman of the ACR-EULAR committee that developed the standard.
Comment: Some guidelines that might be helpful, particularly when talking with patients about remission and whether theyre in it.
Comment: Low sodium can affect brain functioning and certainly affects balance and muscle function. Its an important issue particularly in elderly patients with multiple medical problems.
Darvon, Darvocet Painkillers Pulled From Market Over Heart Risks By FDA
Comment: Those of us who did our medical training in the 1970s always used this medicine for pain relief because we thought it was safer than other pain killers. I guess not. Were left with a void though between Tylenol and harder narcotics.
I am pleased to announce the launch of three books that I have recently written to help you manage your arthritis!
Your special introductory offer will be
$5.00 off the retail price, and autographed by me. Your loved ones will

Wei's World December 2010In November, I had an interesting experience.
I had the opportunity to film a PBS special on arthritis in Daytona Beach, Florida. The show will air sometime in the early spring. Im told its going to be a national show so look for it!
I had never done anything like this before. Sure
I had been on TV shows
but it was always an interview type of situation with not a lot of preparation needed. I basically had to show up and answer the questions I knew were going to be asked of me.
This was different. While I knew what many of the questions were going to be, I had to prepare tightly scripted answers that had to fit in with the rest of the show.
I had the good fortune to work with two real professionals, Suzanne Andrews, an occupational therapist, and Dr. Mache Seidel, a professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
I didnt realize the amount of work and effort involved in filming for television. The scripts are tightly edited and you have to be on your Ps and Qs
you really need to know your stuff. The preparation is amazing. You have make-up people and costume check people who make sure what youre wearing is going to look good. There are microphone check people, camera people, on floor directors, off floor directors, producers, go-fers, and so on.
You might term it organized chaos.
The show was shot in segments so that the pieces could be edited and put together later. Every movement was choreographed. If a mistake was made, we could redo that. Teleprompters certainly helped. Because I was working with a professional crew, the number of do-overs was minimal. Thank goodness since we were operating on a tight time budget. Both Dr. Seidel and I had to get back to the office to see patients.
And it made me think about the similarities and differences between television show production and medicine. Having everything choreographed and laid out so it would flow is exactly the way medicine should be. That would certainly help eliminate errors. We already do much of that in our practice. We train and rehearse and talk about how things should flow and what activities might make for a better patient experience. The big difference though is this
there are no do overs. No second takes. Were live all the time.
And thats a huge difference, particularly when it comes to procedures.
My big take-away lesson:
In medicine, there are no do overs. Thats why practice and rehearsal before you see patients is mandatory. And it doesnt stop in medical school. Its got to be constant and ongoing.

Alan, was that a mistaken choice of terms you made? If you formatted before the clean install and did not align it, it will be at whatever the program you used decided the alignment should be. You need to set the alignment yourself, as in diskpart. If you install on a raw drive, the installer will align it, and as far as I know, has always been correct. The installer will not align a formatted partition. And if you formatted, you had to have a partition.
|My System Specs

I guess I misunderstood. The Samsung drive was only raw when I used the Apricorn software to clone the W7 OS and software that was on the OCZ Vertex III SSD, then when that proved misaligned then I formatted the Samsung drive and clean installed W7 and it. So to sum up where I am currently I have my Samsung imaged to a HDD and have wiped my Vertex clean. I was going to as Wolgang suggested restore the image on the HDD to the Vertex and then clone the Samsung using the Samsung transfer tool.....but I'm open to all suggestions. I'm wondering why I can't just use the cloned HDD and the Samsung transfer tool to transfer the image to the Samsung direct but Wolfgang said that I needed to restore the image to another drive then use the transfer tool because without restoring first the drive wouldn't be a bootable drive. Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, I'll hope to get your feedback and others as to the best course of action from here......I'm just trying to avoid another clean install but I'm seeking a good if not a more optimized alignment for sure form here. maybe a purchase of Paragon makes the most sense from here?
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2012
Wolfgang's suggestion may work. But, I would align it first. But, that's just me. But, maybe I'm missing something. Why can't you use the Samsung transfer tool from the hard drive to the Samsung without using the vertex? I'm sure you have a good reason. It sounds like it was the Apricorn software that messed you up to begin with. I've never used it, but it is supposed to give proper alignment, just like Acronis is supposed to. But, Acronis won't. I know that from experience, even if you align the drive first. That's why I love Paragon. I have 1 night a week I migrate my system to an old hard drive I have, just in case. Best backup you can have.
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2012
I was wondering that myself, why would it matter which drive SSD or HDD I restore the image from? I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase the Paragon and then look to finally migrate to the formatted Samsung when I can get some time. Like you the Apricorn has always worked but just to use something else I used the Acronis 2010 to image to the HDD.
Regarding a complete image I agree it's the very best back up you can have and I had been using the Apricorn and now the Acronis for that very purpose and looks like I could be headed towards a Paragon regular imaged drive.
|My System Specs
|09 Dec 2012
I think it's the best choice. To me, Paragon Migrate was the best $20 I have spent. You won't need time. Once you start it, in 20 minutes you'll be booting into your SSD. It does not do images, it completely transfers the whole OS.

|I have kept this one. I like the shade of lavender rose pink and the watermarked eye. It has proven fairly hardy here, but does not grow to 32 inches (more like 27). This diploid's petal substance is not great, though I don't remember its wilting. Bud count here is around 9, which, unfortunately, is typical of many cultivars here.

In 2010 BBC asked the director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor, to choose 100 objects in the Museum's collection to illustrate the entire history of humanity. These were presented in groups of five objects per week on BBC Radio, with a theme for each week. This book compiles these presentations and edits them down into book form. The first objects are simple hand axes and he then works through monies, statues, pottery and more all the way to the solar-powered lamp of 2010. I had expected the objects to be woven together to create a complete picture, and this was a bit lacking. In addition, there were certain archeological sites that were clearly favored (possibly due to the large number of objects from these locations/civilizations found in the Museum's collection). Overall, the book gave a good overview of the history of the world, excellent for those with little background.

Winner leaves Korea for 'Youth Over Flowers'
|(YG Entertainment)
"Winner's episode of 'Youth Over Flowers' will be produced in earnest. They will leave today and film at the location. But we decided not to disclose the destination due to safety issues," the production team said.
The boy band will come back to Korea this month and the show will air by the end of the year, the production team added.
The producer's other show "New Journey to the West," which starred Winner member Song Min-ho, promised its cast that if they succeed in fulfilling a specific task, the production team will grant a wish for each of them.
The cast succeeded in the challenge and Song wished to go on a trip on "Youth Over Flowers" with his bandmates.
"Kidnapping" celebrities has been a ritual for those in their 20s appearing on "Youth Over Flowers." The cast get snatched by the production staff and sent on a trip without preparation.
Since Winner members knew that they will get "kidnapped" sometime for the travel show, they stayed fully-equipped so that they can go with a minute's warning. The show's production staff said in media interviews, "We're troubled as it was all disposed that the members would go on a trip while 'Youth Over Flowers' need its cast not to know that."
The members, however, were spotted at Incheon International Airport Wednesday dressed in black and white striped prison suits holding only their passports. Their faces looked devastated as if they could not predict the production team's plan.

Sixty-five years after an American P-38 fighter plane ran out of gas and crash-landed on a beach in Wales, the long-forgotten World War II relic has emerged from the surf and sand where it lay buried.
Beach strollers, sunbathers and swimmers often frolicked within a few yards of the aircraft, unaware of its existence until last summer, when unusual weather caused the sand to shift and erode.
The revelation of the Lockheed "Lightning" fighter, with its distinctive twin-boom design, has stirred interest in British aviation circles and among officials of the country's aircraft museums, ready to reclaim another artifact from history's greatest armed conflict.
And what a cool photo!

The Benefits to Installing Marvin Replacement Windows on Your Nassau County, NY, Home

The Infinity line of Marvin windows offers many unique advantages that you won't find in traditional vinyl or wood windows, making it a compelling investment into homes of all sizes and styles. These fiberglass windows look great, feature superior durability, and are energy efficient. Our team is standing by to explain the many advantages to electing to install Marvin replacement windows on your home.
So why should you consider investing in Marvin replacement windows for your Nassau County, NY, house? Here are some benefits:
- Marvin Infinity windows feature fiberglass window frames that are made from a unique material known as Ultrex. The advantage to this style window frame is that it is extremely durable. So durable in fact that the manufacture has to use a diamond-edge blade to cut the window frames to size. This speaks to the long-term durability of the product.
- Since the window frame material is so strong, the frames themselves can be smaller than traditional replacement windows without sacrificing any durability. This means that Marvin windows come standard with more surface glass area than you would expect in your replacement windows.
- Marvin replacement windows feature an acrylic finish that helps resist dents, scratches, and discoloration. This means less maintenance for you and the peace of mind that your windows will look great for the years to come.
- These windows are also designed to help prevent heat transfer into and out of the home. Not only does Ultrex resist expansion, the window panes themselves are glazed with a Low-E coating that inhibits energy waste. As a result, you may see potentially significant savings in monthly heating and cooling bills.
Of course, these are just a few examples of the many benefits to investing in Marvin Infinity replacement windows for your Nassau County, New York, home. To learn more, contact Alure Home Improvements today.

DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — A man who jumped a fence to pet cougars at the Columbus zoo and posted video of it on YouTube says he jokingly called "Here, kitty" and moved closer when the animals seemed to respond.
Joshua Newell of suburban Gahanna pleaded no contest Wednesday to a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge and was found guilty. He was sentenced to four days in jail, with two of those suspended, and fined $200 plus other costs in Delaware Municipal Court, north of Columbus.
He left court wearing a T-shirt printed with the words "Cougar Love," WBNS-TV reported.
His video posted last week shows an outer fence being jumped, then two cougars being petted through another fence as someone says things such as "Kitty, kitty, kitty."
Newell, 35, told the station Tuesday that he had called out "Here, kitty" as a joke and assumed the animals wouldn't move toward him, but they did.
"I figured if the cat's going to go out of his way to get some loving, I'm going to go ahead and jump the barrier and show him some love," Newell said.
He said the encounter lasted several minutes.
"They were purring," he said. "They were so loving."
He said he may have acted like an idiot but also questions the level of access to the cats, saying it was "easy" to approach the inner fence.
Officials from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium say safety and animal welfare are top priorities, and they have called the video "alarming." They want to keep the exhibit as it is to help the animals behave as naturally as possible but said they will have to consider changes if further breaches occur, WBNS reported.

"Tariff of Abominations"
Further hostilities toward Adams developed in 1828 when he proposed a high tariff (or tax) on imported industrial goods. This bill served to protect New England factories, the hub of U.S. industry, from European competitors. The Jacksonians in Congress opposed the tariff but amended it to include a tax on imported raw materials used in the New England factories. They hoped the additional tax would rally Northerners to join the Southerners in condemning the tariff.…

Twice a day, the quail would venture out from the blackberry bushes and come up through the orchard to feed at my mother-in-law's well stocked bird feeder. There was a lot of underbrush near her feeder, so the quail, along with their chicks, must have felt safe and protected there.
Orchard Quail was inspired by those daily visits from the quail. The antique black background suggests that feeling of closed-in safety that surrounded the feeding quail. Orchard Quail also has an autumn feel for me, maybe because of the fall colors of red, orange, and warm browns spread throughout the design in the berries and mounded border motifs.
The second quail pattern, Lace Quail, is a spin off design from Orchard Quail.
I was asked to recreate the same feel, but instead of an oval format, they wanted the finished piece to be a rectangle. It was a fun challenge to revisit and hook a quail incorporating a lace-like oval shape within the rectangle. I framed it in an aged barn wood frame. The soft grays in the quail beautifully play off the frame's color and rustic look.
Orchard Quail and Lace Quail are available in my Etsy Shop!

HiFi audio interconnects and speaker cables with REDpurl™ tunable geometry
An adaptive geometry releasing the full potential of your audio system
Looking for high-end audio cables that allow you to experience a personal connection with your music is like trying different seats at a concert to get a better view.
We believe our HiFi interconnects and speaker cables give you the best seat in the house straight out of the box but if you prefer to sit elsewhere their tunable structure lets you do just that.
Our unique REDpurl™ adaptive asymmetric geometry (UK patent pending) allows you to tune your cables at home so you really can explore more than one view from a single audio cable.
"You are able to change the geometry to change the cable's characteristics to suit you and your system. I have to say that I was somewhat sceptical but Chris Bell's [demo at NW Audio Show] was a bit of an ear opener with clear differences being apparent with different geometries being used." Stuart Smith, HifiPig, July 2017."

At this point, waxing lyrical and citing The Godfather or The Godfather II as one of the greatest films ever made has almost become cliché. That's right up until you actually sit down and re-watch not just Francis Ford Coppola's original 1972 adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel, but his 1974 sequel, too. As soon as you start to wallow in these films, even just for a scene or a second, you can't help but absorb and devour their pageantry and beauty, as it Is acting, directing, cinematography, and every other facet of cinema at its very best. I wasn't just lucky enough to sit down and watch The Godfather and The Godfather Part II early on Saturday afternoon all the way into Saturday night, but afterwards I was also able to sit down and listen to Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, James Caan, Talia Shire and Robert DeNiro talk about their experiences on the two films.
During this time, they dropped some delightful tidbits regarding its production, which included a particularly hilarious anecdote about Marlon Brando's testicles. You can scroll down below to see what I learned from my time at the once in a lifetime Tribeca Film Festival event below.
Coppola's Pretty Sure You Couldn't Make The Godfather Today
Towards the end of the Tribeca talk, which was originally supposed to last for 45 minutes but ran for just under one hour and 20 minutes instead, host Taylor Hackford became inundated with questions from the audience, who were eager to learn more about the iconic movies. One of these questions posed whether or not The Godfather could actually be made in today's movie climate. Director Francis Ford Coppola doesn't believe that studios today would give The Godfather the go-ahead, insisting that it would be too costly, especially because you couldn't stretch it into its own cinematic universe. Coppola explained:
Francis Ford Coppola then immediately recalled an exchange he once had with a former owner of MGM, who asked the director how to make sure that a film was both critically and financially successful, which pretty much sums up why films of The Godfather's scale and ilk aren't seen anymore. Francis Ford Coppola continued:
Your move, Marvel.

NICOSIA (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden visited ethnically-split Cyprus on Wednesday to lend support to complex peace talks on an island which has the potential to play an important role in easing Europe's reliance on Russian gas.
Biden, on a two-day visit, was due to meet Cypriot President and Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu.
Cyprus has been split since a 1974 Turkish military invasion, dividing the north from the south after a brief Greek Cypriot coup engineered by the military then ruling Greece.
"It's long past time ... that Cypriots are reunited," Biden said on his arrival.
A settlement to the Cyprus dispute, one of the oldest on the United Nations agenda, has eluded an army of mediators over the years.
Attempts to seal a deal have gained urgency since the discovery of vast quantities of natural gas in the eastern Mediterranean between Cyprus and Israel.
"The discovery of hydrocarbons in the Cypriot (waters) could position Cyprus, we believe, as an energy and economic leader in the region," a senior U.S. administration official said before the visit.
Cyprus has licensed a U.S. company, Noble, to drill for natural gas after discoveries off its southern coast. It has also licensed European companies ENI and Total to search for gas.
U.S. support for further European Union sanctions on Russia over the annexation of Crimea would also feature prominently in talks, sources said.
Cyprus, a key business partner of Russia in the EU, opposes further sanctions which could hurt its economy, still struggling after being bailed out by the International Monetary Fund and the EU last year.
Biden, who is the most senior U.S. official to visit Cyprus since Lyndon Johnson in 1962, was due to meet religious leaders from both sides of the divide on Thursday, have separate talks with the leaders of the Greek and Turkish Cypriots and attend a joint dinner with the two.
Cypriot sources said it was unlikely that Biden would announce any breakthrough in confidence-building measures under discussion between the two sides for months. "It will be more like a wish-list," one Cypriot source said.
A new round of reunification talks was launched between Anastasiades and Eroglu on February 11. Mediators are trying to unite the island as a two-zone federation, but fundamental differences remain on issues such as power sharing and the property rights of thousands displaced in past conflict.

Written by Finn Anderson / Based on a true story / Inspired by an original idea by Neil Anderson.
Created through devising with Tania Azevedo, Joyce Greenaway, Camrie Palmer, Matthew Rutherford, Dominic Rye, Jannah Warlow and Amy Gardyne.
Developed with support from Creative Scotland, Arts Council England, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Old Vic New Voices, Wiston Lodge and Citizens Theatre.
Allotment gardening is one of the country's most popular activities, with over 100,000 people on waiting lists for allotments in the UK. For many, their allotment is much more than just a place to grow organic food. It provides them with a community, open space for their children to play, a sense of purpose, connection to nature, and exercise. The positive effects of gardening on physical and mental wellbeing have been well documented.
However allotment land is in high demand and in the past 10 years the UK government has approved 80% of council applications to build on allotments.
Based on true events and inspired by interviews from allotments all over the UK, Plots tells the story of one group of plotholders who unite in a battle to save their soil from developers. Their fight to save their own allotment turns into a nationwide campaign to save the country's plots.
Following interviews with plotholders around the UK, Finn spent a week with collaborators at Wiston Lodge devising and working in the vegetable gardens. Inspired by the material created, Finn composed a script and songs before the group returned for a 2 week workshop in September 2016 at Theatre Royal Stratford East.

Valentines Day has always been a cause for debate between the heartbroken & the hopeless romantics. I for one, am all up for a day where the universe celebrates my favourite colour (and another excuse to go shopping for dinner outfits..shh).
What's the harm in having one whole day to celebrate your love for umm.. love?!! Be it a romantic evening with a hot date, or a night in with your two besties; The Notebook & a tub of Pralines 'n Cream.. We ALL deserve a little something on the day of Universal Cheesy-ness and Lovebugs right?!
After days of researching for the perfect romantic dinner spot in Dubai (yes I researched, excel sheets 'n all!) I found Tomo by Takahashi on Tripadvisor.com, a saviour that website is. Tomo is a Japanese restaurant located on the tip of the pyramid at The Raffles Hotel, Dubai. Dinner on top of a pyramid!!! Need I say more?!!
We decided to go for their Japanese seating area (ahhh the comfort of eating barefoot) which was outside over-looking the beautiful city and Burj Khalifa. We spent a magical night under the stars (part of which was spent trying to stuff my tutu into my seat.. irrelevant), gobbled down delicious food and enjoyed the beautiful cool breeze.. A firework show in a nearby location was just the cherry on top of the cake!!
PS. After more research, I discovered that Tomo means 'Lifelong Friend' in Japanese.. Cuz I'm sure you all wanted to know that! ahem. Want to experience the magic of Japanese cuisine?? Check them out Here.
Our Order:
Starters: Seafood Tempura & Deep Fried Oysters

SUBRA SURESH, your scientific accomplishments have been recognized by two U.S. presidents and described by one colleague as "nothing short of breathtaking." You have served as Dean of Engineering at MIT, director of the National Science Foundation, and will soon assume the presidency of Carnegie Mellon University.
The numerous awards you have received include a Franklin Institute medal, which joins you with the most influential scientists of the last two centuries, including Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein.
You are the ultimate exemplar of the three cornerstones of 21st-century science: innovation, interdisciplinarity, and global-minded collaboration. Your work applying nanomechanics to malaria research has shaped entirely new fields of cross-disciplinary study while illuminating our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of disease.
As its director, you asserted the role of the NSF to be "the nation's innovation engine." Believing diversity to be a keystone of innovation, you increased opportunities in science for women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups. Toward the end of your tenure, you hosted a global summit that marked a new era in international scientific collaboration.
Though you have taught hundreds of now-prominent scientists and engineers, you remain an eager learner, beginning your directorship of the NSF with "town hall" meetings and your tenure at Carnegie Mellon with "listening tours" to inform your understanding of each institution.
You are known to be welcoming, with a wonderful sense of humor that puts people at ease, and your commitment to family has always been paramount. A dedicated husband and father, you have worked just as hard helping employees achieve a work-life balance as you have finding solutions to complex scientific problems.
Subra, you are one of the most visionary, impactful leaders in the global scientific community. For your extraordinary contributions to science and engineering, Dartmouth is proud to award you the honorary degree Doctor of Science.
President Carol L. Folt

Smoked pork
Battling the MSG Myth
"Help! I Have a Question"
» Smoked pork
Unregistered guest
Posted on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 12:33 pm:
I am new to the board but not new to msg. I have been battling it for years. I bought some pork, no additives, not in cyrovac, and my husband smoked it on our grill. Soon after I have eaten it I get a headache. I know I am very sensitive to msg and have had a really hard time lately. I hope someone has an idea why this would be a problem.
Unregistered guest
Posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 4:22 am:
Did your husband use anything other than just wood to smoke the meat? Also what did you eat with the rest of the meal? When I react I begin by writing down everything I ate and did for the preceding 24 hours. For example it has even been a new hand cream I was trying etc., that has coincided with something else I thought was the problem, only to discover something else I react too. This is a baffling condition The answer is always there but may surprise you or may be just what you suspected.
Unregistered guest
Posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 6:08 am:
I know for me it takes many times of experiencing/observing symptoms to make a definite determination as to what the culprit was. Was this the first time your husband smoked pork in this manner? Have you had a problem with smoking in the past?
Unregistered guest
Posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 2:04 pm:
Thank you for your suggestions. The other food I ate with that meal was frozen broccoli, califlower, carrots, not additives and bread(unbleach wheat flour, yeast, salt) but I am going to find out what type charcoal he uses with the wood. The other thing I am thinking of is the Align probiotic I take. I am concerned with the ingredents. I do keep a food journal. When you feel good its very,very good when you feel bad it's so discouraging.

I would definetly investigate the Align..I found these ingredients listed.
Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Capsule Usp Grade, Magnesium Stearate, Sugar, Sodium Caseinate, Sodium Citrate Dihydrate, Propyl Gallate, Fd&c Blue No. 2. There are several things here I would react to for sure.

Out of all that you have mentioned, including the food, the sodium caseinate in Align would be the thing that would scare me the most. The web site, under the heading Align Supplement Facts, lists that ingredient as "milk protein", an obvious further attempt to make it sound wholesome. I would stop using Align immediately.

Posted on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - 12:04 pm:
Caseinate is hydrolyzed milk protein, rich in free glutamate...and Sodium citrate is usually made from hydrolyzed corn, as citric acid is. Avoid! So many supplements are dangerous to us...eat whole foods and you will most likely be getting more usuable vitamins and minerals than you would from pills. Eat plain yogurt or kefir for probiotics.

This is an old thread I know - but wanted to add I definitely have problems withe sodium casienate. It is in many baked goods. I came back to the board briefly today to check sodium citrate, because I bought some Horizon Organic half & half and was not sure about the added sodium citrate and found my answer here! I think I've used it before at my Mom's without problem, but to be certain I think I would be wise to just toss it. Sad when organic no longer really means truly organic!
Thanks everyone & Debbie for all you do! I know her work has helped to educate so many people since I started down this path, it is far easier now to avoid msg than it was 15 years ago!

The smoke in bar b ques is carcinogenic,
it`s best to grill the food once the coals are fully lit and do not smoke much,
salt in food raises blood pressure,
and will give you headaches,
it`s best to go on a low salt diet,
I only eat salt when i don`t prepare the food myself,
my head issues have gone down considerably.

Anon, glad you have found our site. Yes, there are so many hidden forms of free glutamate in our foods. Many people who were told that they had celiac disease, found out later that they were really MSG sensitive and had no idea of all the free glutamate hidden in baked goods, including sodium and calcium caseinate, maltodextrin, soy flour, dry milk and whey solids, and of course, gluten powder, which is extremely high in processed or free glutamate( the form of glutamate found in MSG).

LEE Filters manufacture high-quality lighting filters in a vast range of colours that are accurately consistent from batch to batch, long-lasting and dependable. Every filter is checked against a scientifically generated set of parameters
NEW Zircon LED Filter Range
LED lighting has many benefits, but one of its stumbling blocks is that its intensity can contribute to the fade times of standard lighting filters. In order to overcome this our Research and Development team has developed a new way of producing filters that ensures they last longer when used with LED lights.
In fact, Zircon Warm Amber filters have been shown to retain at least 80% of their effectiveness after as much as eight months of continuous use on LED downlighters.
Technical Filters
The LEE range of technical filters has been developed to convert and manipulate light sources with a high degree of accuracy. A full range of daylight, tungsten and fluorescent conversions, neutral densities, reflectors and scrims are available.

People work at laptop computers. (Oli Scarff/Getty Images)
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)—A federal appeals court in Washington has struck down the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) net neutrality rules, but what does it mean for the consumer?
What the FCC tried to do was to create a level playing field so that nobody could pay their way to a faster connection or a faster delivery. That doesn't mean you can't pay more for example to pay for the Internet connection at home.
What it does mean though, is say for instance that you're a company like Facebook or Netflix and you want your traffic to get through to consumers faster than other people's. The court ruling allows you to do that because there is no net neutrality.
