Temple Beth El`s laudable Young Artists Series closed its season with a recital by Sung-Ju Lee, a 22-year-old Korean violinist of considerable promise.
Lee, another Juilliard product who has won the usual assortment of prizes, revealed an innate musicality that easily compensated for occasional rough edges in her technique. She certainly did not make things easy for herself; her program contained two demanding solo sonatas as well as an equally demanding accompanied one. The material requires an interpretive maturity no young player would be expected to have, but Lee came very close indeed.
It was in Eugene Ysaye`s Sonata No. 3 for solo violin that she made the strongest impression. Her tone was firm and sweet, her fingering and bowing secure. More importantly, there was a vivid character in her phrasing, a sense of form and motion that carried the sonata along in what seemed like a single breath.
In Cesar Franck`s A major Sonata, originally written for Ysaye, Lee poured out some vibrant phrases, especially in the finale, and was attentive to the subtle shifts of rhythm and mood throughout the work. But there was some tonal brittleness along the way, as well as pitch problems that were at least partly the fault of the famous South Florida curse on string instruments -- humidity.
Lee was powerfully supported in the Franck by pianist Stephen Lazarus, who took full advantage of the richly written part to make the keyboard an equal partner.
Bach`s G minor Sonata for solo violin was given a thoughtful performance. If the first three movements were almost too deliberately paced, the violinist was certainly conscious of the inner beauty and logic of the material and articulated it sensitively. In the finale, she had the necessary verve, if not always the technical smoothness.
Smoothness of articulation was also missing at times in her account of Stravinsky`s Suite Italienne, but, with Lazarus again providing admirable support, she gave the piquant music plenty of character and charm.

Fading Ad: Hollywood Tuxedo Rental
I just love this fantastic faded ad from the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, photographed by Marian Saska. But the photo was taken in 1972 and, unforunately, the ad is now long gone. Still, nice to see it preserved for posterity. As for the ad content itself, I know they were trying to emphasize the tuxedo, but it's kind of unsettling to see the woman rendered so faintly, only in outline.

What could be better than combining scenery, tourism and exercise? Check out the landscapes and get your blood pumping at the same time – this is a recipe which is certainly made for some of the most dramatically stunning natural landscapes on the planet, so it makes sense that Croatia has got in on the action!
On 4 March 2017, Island Pasman will host the Skraping, an annual trekking race that challenges participants in the best possible way.
No matter what your level of ability, you can take part in this fantastic event, with three different levels of difficulty on offer – ultra, challenger, and light. As you move around the course there are various checkpoints you need to arrive at and meet, in order to complete the race in its entirety – these checkpoints are at some of the most beautiful and scenic points across the island.
This is a fantastic idea for an active kind of break, as you won't only be walking, running, jogging, and scrambling over rocks, but you'll also be taking photos of what you see along the way – unless you're trying to win, of course!
Accommodation is available along the course quite plentifully, and you're sure to meet many people from all different countries; last year's race attracted around 1300 different people taking part!
In terms of drawing attention to this beautiful island, Skraping is a great idea, but in terms of taking part, well, you'll certainly fall in love with the landscapes, whilst getting your blood pumping at the same time.

209 Calorie Pancakes
Don't those just look scrumptious? I think they do, And they are, if that matters to anyone at all. These are a new favorite of mine for breakfast. It makes 3-5 pancakes (depending on how you pour) that are about five inches in diameter. The calorie total for just the pancakes is 209. When I added syrup and the strawberries it was only 271 calories total. An excellent number considering how good these are and how filling. 16 grams of protein, too! (From the eggs.)
- 2oz of 1/3 Fat Cream Cheese (or whatever you prefer)
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp granulated sugar (or truvia/splenda/etc.)
- Get a non-stick pan hot and ready to go!
- Blend together all of the ingredients. I actually used a blender for this- I found it to be easiest.
- Pour onto the pan in small amounts. It will create a very thin pancake- much like a crêpe.
- Cook as you would a regular pancake. Flip it when the bottom is brown. Then cook the other side.
- Top with topping of your choice! For syrup, I like to put it in a small condiment dish and dip it, I use less syrup that way. Though I definitely suggest fruit. Strawberries are great. You can roll the pancake around a strawberry slice and it's heavenly.

"What can I do about this? My shipment from China was seized by US Customs". To which I asked "What was it?" and the answer was "Star Wars stuff". PEOPLE!!!! You cannot buy non-counterfeit stuff like this from China ESPECIALLY anything to do with Disney. I do believe customs will destroy the shipment and the buyer will end up paying for them to do it.

I have lived and worked in China in the manufacturing sector as a QA manager for a multinational company. it is a corrupt place and anything that can be copied will be copied except inferior (cheaper) materials substituted. From the Chinese standpoint, this is not seen as IP theft or unethical in any way. If you contact someone on Alibaba, they may tell you that their product is authentic and licensed and they may genuinely believe this because they don't understand the difference between licensed and unlicensed or branded and copied.
The licensing issue is another thing altogether. While most licensed products are produced in China, the producer is responsible for monitoring and reporting all of the units sold to the licensor. Take Disney as an example, if anyone thinks that these Chinese companies link with Disney's licensing software and pay their royalties, they are smoking something.

There was one year when the American licensee for Pokemon was using eBay VERO to shut down people that were buying Pokemon toys in Japan and bringing them home in their luggage. Right now, I wouldn't try to bring even authentic Star Wars toys in from China.

Pep Talks, Warnings & Screeds by George Singleton, with illustrations by Daniel Wallace
A good story is all about something foreign thrown in the midst of the usual. It's about something peculiar shoved into a normal environment. It's not so much about cream being poured into coffee as it is kerosene being lollopped in. It's not some much about a tractor in the middle of a cornfield, as it is a rhinoceros.

Neymar celebrates his first goal against Elche / PHOTO: MIGUEL RUIZ - FCB
After another stellar performance in Barça's 0-6 win at Elche, Neymar admitted: "I'm very happy with the season I'm putting in - I'm playing every game and I'm loving it"
The Brazilian explained: "Elche started strongly - they were at home and wanted to play well, but we got a good win. Playing with Messi, the best player in the world, is very simple. For me it's an honour to be playing alongside him – he's my hero!"
With Real Madrid getting a late winner in Cordoba, the top two are still just a point apart, but Neymar is only focussed on his own team's performances: "we have to just get on with our business and do it well. After that, we'll see what the rest of the teams do. We always depend on ourselves, on what we do on the pitch. Playing as we are, it'll be hard for us to lose"
Pedro, Bartra and Rafinha also spoke after the game:
"Now we have to focus on the Atlético game, which will be very tense and tough. This game tonight was a bit of a banana skin for is, it's always hard on the road against teams who shut up shop".
"We are enjoying one of our best moments, that's for sure. We are on a good run and morale is high – that's how we have to continue".
"It was harder for us in the first half, but we had more possession after the break and when they went a man down it was more difficult for them".
"We are where we want to be, but there are a lot of games still to go, nothing is decided and we will carry on fighting".
"I think we started okay, but it's hard to get goals at the beginning. Once Piqué scored it was more comfortable, we had more chances and the goals came".
"Elche are always a tough team. They are lively and aggressive and don't give you time to think. What's more, the pitch was very slow and that made it hard for us to play our game".
"Playing with Messi and Neymar - and Suarez too – is a real pleasure. I'm very happy how the game went".
"It's always good for a front man to score – it was a gift from Neymar".
"It was an important win because it's always hard away from home. We all played our part in the win".
"We suffered a bit in the first half, but we imposed ourselves on the game. We are doing well and we're full of confidence".
"We all feel we can get into the starting XI. We are at a high level and we want the players who are first choice to know that we are right there if they slip up".
"The Neymar-Messi partnership is spectacular. Let's hope they keep it up because when they are doing well, we will be doing well".
We felt good after the Atlético game and we will fight till the last minute".
"Happy with the three points for the team – they are important for us".
"We knew that Elche would come out strong and they did. We had to find spaces and that's what we were able to do to win the game".
"I'm getting better all the time, with plenty of confidence and I have to make the most of the game time I get".
"We are still in the hunt for the League, the Cup and the Champions League – we want them all".
Players reaction after 0-6 against Elche by fcbarcelona
The first team squad will be back in training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper at 11.00am (CET) on Monday.

San Francisco
Thanks to Steve Fraser for his lengthy review of my book, The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt ["The Misunderstood Robber Baron," Nov. 30]. I wish to offer a few words in response, but I hope I don't sound querulous. Fraser offers a healthy amount of praise, and his criticisms largely spring from a sympathy with wage workers. That's precisely the attitude readers–including me–want and expect in your pages. We certainly don't find enough of it elsewhere.
But I would like to stress the nuances that I tried to impart to my portrait. Fraser leaves the impression that my book descends into simple praise for a great capitalist, whereas I tried to uncover the complexities of Vanderbilt's long career. Vanderbilt's life, I found, contributed to the central conundrums of a corporate economy in a democratic society.
A key point of the review is Fraser's claim that I take it as axiomatic that associating Vanderbilt with modernity is "a good thing." I could not disagree more. I tried to illustrate the contradictions that accompanied the emergence of modernity, with rising wealth and productivity on one hand, and increasing polarization of incomes and power on the other. I do not use "modernizing" as a synonym for "making better."
Fraser writes that I am "willfully blind" to the distinction between "dynastic capitalism" and the modern corporation. On the contrary, I stress Vanderbilt's "peculiar role" as a transitional figure. He promoted the institutionalization of modern capitalism and was an individual who towered over banks and corporations–"both a relic of a bygone era and an aggressive leader of the new." I contrast the owner/manager model of Vanderbilt's corporations with the Pennsylvania Railroad, in which ownership and management were separated. I point out how the Pennsylvania model showed the way to the future, though I also describe the corruption and self-dealing that came with it.
More important is the question of how I treat the liberal reformers–E.L. Godkin, Henry and Charles Francis Adams Jr. and others. Fraser also writes that I take a "cheap shot" when I connect the liberals' criticism of Vanderbilt with their distrust of democracy, and that I am engaging in "intellectual snobbery."

text: Hi, I am new to the forum, so hopefully I am posting this question in the correct spot. I just received three of these tablets from China. Two of them seem to be working good. The third one will start up, but will not stay connected via WIFI. The other two have no issues in that area. The WIFI will connect, but then after about 5-10 second it goes out and disconnects. I don't want to have to ship it back. Is there something simple that I should be checking? I checked all of the settings and everything looks good. I even downloaded an App that keep the WIFI locked on. I hooked the tablet up through ethernet and it worked fine.

Since the publication of this post, Sky have indeed truly stepped up the pace of innovation in regards to their TV service. Sky+ is better than it's ever been before, thanks to the addition of a dedicated kids' TV section, binge watching support and yet more catch-up TV features.
Perhaps the biggest innovation, however, has come in the form of Sky's new Sky Q box. Much smaller than Sky+, the box features 6 tuners for recording 5 programmes and watching a sixth, the ability to stream to tablets, 4K support and much, much more. Following an extremely positive reaction to the box, Sky have retired the Sky+ box for new customers. However, they have promised to keep supporting Sky+, after pressure on the telephone number Sky. What follows is the original article in full, originally published in August 2015:
A company like Sky lives and dies by how quickly it can change shape to accommodate the changing needs and wants of a nation. The UK, it has to be said, has an extremely advanced pay-TV market, and with the likes of Virgin and BT both rapidly improving their offerings, it's up to each company to prove that it's got what it takes to win customers and keep them there. It's with that in mind that companies like to throw around terms like 'innovation'. For BT recently, that's meant the launch of the Europe's first 4K channel and for Sky, it's meant pushing the third major update to Sky+ this year. Now, in a blog post on Sky's website, Brand Director Luke Bradley-Jones has opened up about how Sky are upping the pace of their own innovations.
In the blog post, Mr. Bradley-Jones lays out what the companies thinking is behind placing such a huge emphasis on promoting on demand content above almost all else. It's no secret that with the advent of on demand TV more and more people are choosing to watch their favourite TV programmes when it suits them, rather than at the prescribed time. He states: In fact, in the last 12 months alone there were over 2.4 billion on demand views across Sky+ and Sky Go, as more and more people choose to watch when it suits them. But live TV remains extremely popular, particularly when it comes to exclusive shows and sports like the latest gripping season of Game of Thrones, the epic drama Fortitude, and live sporting event TV like the Premier League, The Ashes and F1®."
It's an interesting comment, and reinforces the idea that live TV remains an extremely potent draw when you're at risk of having it spoilt for you by an overzealous friend or coworker. Indeed, with Twitter and Facebook, it can now seem impossible to avoid spoilers without joining in the act of watching live.
His comments also illuminate the difference that simple UI changes can make. Kids TV, for example, saw a 360% increase in downloads when it was moved to the first page of the Sky+ planner rather than a page deep, as it was previously. It's this kind of feedback which is crucial to a company like Sky, who have to constantly attempt to improve the user experience of their customers.
On the subject of Sky+ updates, something which were a rarity only a few years ago, Mr. Bradley-Jones said this: In recent years we've upped the pace of development on Sky+ - the nation's favourite TV platform - and are now rolling out software updates every three to four months. That means three already in 2015, with more to come this year and next. All the changes we're making are designed to make it even easier to quickly find something to watch - whether that's offering personalised recommendations based on your own recordings and downloads, Smart Series Link so you never miss a returning series or offering movie trailers so you can get a quick taster before deciding which film to watch on Sky Movies.

It's an obvious one. Everyone knows we need water to survive, and in most cases we will only last around 3 days without taking any on board. What may not be so obvious though, is finding it in the wilderness, and equally as important as finding it, is making it safe to drink. If you are lucky to have a water source nearby, or you are experiencing rain, then you are at a huge advantage. Collecting it will be a fairly simple task using any containers you have to hand, and then treating it appropriately. It is likely, however, that in a survival situation, you will not have such luxuries, and will have to be prepared to put in a little bit of graft to get it. If you do struggle to find any for some time, then you should avoid eating, as digesting food uses up fluids in our bodies. So with out water, do not eat. The way to think about it is, everything that is alive, will need some amount of water to stay in existence. Therefore, if you are surrounded by green vegetation, then you know for a fact that water is present in that area. Happy days. Even in hotter climates such as the desert, some plant and animal life exists, and if you come across these signs, again this must mean that water is present. Even happier days if you are stuck in the desert! Since humans are so reliant on water sources, it is worth remembering that if you follow a flowing water course, there is a high chance that it will lead you to other human populations. So how do we get a hold of it?
We'll start with the easiest supply's of water.
Rivers, Streams, Lakes and Rain.
So if you've got yourself a base camp with shelter and a fire set up at a safe but reachable distance from a decent water source for the foreseeable future, then you're chances of surviving have massively increased. But just because you have found water, doesn't mean it is safe. Even if it looks and tastes clean, it could still hold some nasty surprises. Running water is usually a good sign, as opposed to ponds or lakes. Still water sources will tend to be stagnant, and harbour some horrible pollutants and parasites, which would be disastrous for you if you contracted an illness from them. Any water collected, should be treated thoroughly by filtering and boiling. Some chemicals can also be used such as chlorine or iodine tablets, but using these will leave an odd taste. Personally I would try to steer away from using chemicals for obvious reasons, and go for filtering and boiling methods when possible, however in a survival situation, this may not be possible and it would be better to drink chemically purified water as to go without. Water sources with no green vegetation or which have animal carcasses around them should be viewed with caution. Always treat water before you consume it.
Solar stills (above ground).
If the area you are in has tree or plant life present, then you can take advantage of them by letting them gather the water for you. Using a clear plastic bag, place it over a leafy branch, with a corner at the lowest point. Tie the bag around the top and let nature get to work. As the sun light hits the bag, the leaves will produce moisture and the heat will evaporate it. The moisture will then be trapped by the edges of the bag and turn it back into liquid water. The water will then run and gather in the bottom of the bag. It is important to remember to tie the bag over the branch to keep the heat in and also to stop the weight of any water from pulling it off the branch. Use as many of these as you can as they will only produce a small amount of water. Only use this method with non-poisonous specimens.
Solar stills (underground)
In hotter climates where there is only a small amount of vegetation present, it may be best to use a solar still below ground. Dig a hole, around 1m x 1m x 1m, and place a container in the centre to collect the water (digging another small depression will help to stop it from tipping over). Place a clear plastic sheet over the top of the hole and seal it all the way around the edge with earth. Placing a stone on top of the sheet directly above the container inside will direct any moisture that that evaporates onto the sheeting into the container. If you also have any sort of tubing available, you can place one end in the bottom of the container, and the other outside of the still so you can collect the water without disturbing the still. This method will work better if you can put any non-poisonous vegetation inside it (it works the same as the above ground solar still). Or alternatively you can urinate in the hole to dampen the earth inside (make sure to do this before placing your container inside). This will evaporate the water from the urine giving you pure drinking water. It sounds disgusting, but it might just save your life. This type of solar still might also trap some insects providing you with a little food. Take advantage of everything you can. Again make as many of these as possible to gather as much water as you can.
Non-flowing water.
Water that doesn't flow will often harbour harmful parasites and bacteria that if you get into your system can, on occasion, kill you. In a survival situation, sickness is extremely serious. Contracting an illness such a dysentery or typhoid which will result in high fever, vomiting and diarrhea will waste valuable fluids, and give you a real bad time if it doesn't kill you. So it is so important to treat water before drinking. Even though these harmful things can be present in still water, it can still be collected safely using the still method. For example, over a small stagnant puddle, using clear plastic sheeting, make a tent shape over the water, and roll the bottom of the sheet under itself around the edges. Tying the top to an over hanging branch or other similar improvised mechanism such as a makeshift tripod will help to hold it in place. Weigh down around the bottom with rocks or logs and as the sun evaporates the water it will hit the plastic and run down and collect in the sheeting at the bottom. With this method it is tricky to collect the water, but carefully lifting one side, and letting it run to the other, the sheet can be upturned and the water will pool in it in the centre.
Filtering and boiling.
It is essential to firstly filter any water you can collect. Filtering will help to remove any nasty particles which you wouldn't want to end up in your system. It's simple enough to do. for example, if you take a sock, fill it with a layer of sand at the bottom, then a layer of charcoal from your fire (this will absorb toxins contained in the water), a layer of moss or grass, and a layer of pebbles at the top. Pour your water through this and collect it in what ever container you have. This will help to clean the water, however it is still not safe to drink. You must boil it to get rid of any nasty parasites and germs which will slip through the filter. Boiling is also a fairly simple task and can even be achieved with a plastic bottle hanging over a fire. You would be forgiven for thinking a plastic bottle would melt, but the water inside will prevent this. Even a container made from bark such as birch will not burn if there is water in it and you can still achieve a boil. An even simpler method you can use for filtering is to fold a piece of cloth into about 8 layers and pour the water through it. It will still need to be boiled however. The length of time you should boil water will vary depending on your altitude. The higher you are from sea level, the longer it will need. A rule of thumb is to boil for 1 minute at sea level, and for every 1000 feet, add a minute. If you do not know how high you are, boiling for 10 minutes will always make it safe.
There are many ways and places to find water in the wild, and these are just a few methods which you can use. Practising as many techniques as you can as often as you can will really help if you find yourself in a tight situation. We all take it for granted in our technological society that it flows so freely from a tap. But when things go wrong as they occasionally do, knowing where to find, how to collect it and how to treat it is crucial.

At the five-star ICON Energy Fund, Derek Rollingson keeps in close touch with the news. It's part of his strategy for picking stocks that has helped the fund earn nearly 10 percent over the last five years.
"At ICON, or focus really is on pricing the news into the stock," he told CNBC. "You can talk a lot about the trends; we feel that our advantage is taking that information and asking the question, 'Is it valued appropriately in the marketplace or not?'"
One of the stocks that question has pointed him to is Gulfmark Offshore.
"Gulfmark is one of those in the equipment space that we find attractive," he explained. "There's a lot of value there, and it's showing some strength."
He's careful about where to tread in the energy space.
"For example, if you take a look at oil refining and marketing, there usn't a whole lot of value there," he said.
He's much more sanguine about the drillers, like Atwood Oceanics.
Outside of oil, coal producer Peabody Energy is on his list.

UPDATED, 8/11/2011, 1:10 pm
Thursday morning in Washington DC -- the only city that could host such a vacuous, inane event -- the Thomas B. Fordham Institute is hosting (the hopefully one-off) "Education Reform Idol." The event has nothing to do with recognizing states that get the best results for children or those that have achieved demonstrated results from education policies over time -- but simply those that have passed pet reforms over the past year.
It purports to determine which state is the "reformiest" (I kid you not) with the only contenders being Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin and the only judges being: (1) a representative of the pro-privatization Walton (WalMart) Family Foundation; (2) the Walton-funded, public education hater Jeanne Allen; and (3) the "Fox News honorary Juan Williams chair" provided to the out-voted Richard Lee Colvin from Education Sector.
With the deck stacked like that, Illinois is out of the running immediately because its reforms were passed in partnership with teachers' unions. Plus it has a Democratic governor. Tssk, tssk. That's too bad, because Illinois represents the most balanced approach to education and teaching policy of the five states over the past year. And the absence of a state like Massachusetts from the running is insane. It has the best NAEP scores of any state and has a long track record of education results from raising standards and expectations, not by attacking teachers or privatizing our schools. But that's not the point here, of course. This is ALL politics. [UPDATE 8/11/2011: Yes, all politics. Mike Petrilli of Fordham says that "the lesson of Education Reform Idol" is --- ba-ba-ba-baaah ... ELECT REPUBLICANS. "When Republicans take power, reforms take flight."]
So I digress.... The coup de grace of ridiculousness for me is the inclusion of Wisconsin among the list of "contenders." What exactly has Scott Walker and his league of zombies actually accomplished for education over the last seven-and-a-half months OTHER THAN eliminating bollective bargaining rights, a historic slashing of state school aids, and a purely political expansion of the inefficacious school voucher program?
What's even worse than the inclusion of Wisconsin among the nominees is the case made by Scott Walker's office for the 'reformiest' award. As a policy advisor to the former Wisconsin governor, I am amazed by the brazenness and spin from Walker's office. I would expect nothing less from a political campaign. But someone's gotta tell these folks that while they theoretically represent the public trust, the content of their arguments suggests we can't trust them as far as we can throw them. And here in cheese curd land, that ain't very far.
A quick look at Walker's argument reveals an upfront invocation of Tommy Thompson (Wisconsin's version of Ronald Reagan) to pluck at Badgers' heart strings and make them long for the good old days of the 1990s (when the rich paid their fair share in taxes). It is soon followed by the refuted and refuted claims that Walker's deep education cuts "protect students in the short term" and give districts "tools" to manage the fiscal slaughter. Just read the well-respected Milwaukee school superintendent's opinion of such "tools." Then there's this gem: "Districts immediately began to set aside more time for teacher collaboration as well as money for merit pay." I'd LOVE to see the data behind this claim because as I am aware there is no state survey that measures collaborative time for teachers for starters. Walker's staff probably lifted it from a single school district's claims detailed in this Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel story -- claims trumpeted by dozens upon dozens of right-wing bloggers such as Wisconsin's own Ann Althouse -- claims which since have been exposed as "literally unbelievable".
The irony is that this event is taking place in DC just two days after the recall elections of six seemingly vulnerable, incumbent Republican state senators. The repudiation of Walker's slash-and-burn policies will be testament enough to the destructiveness of his leadership both for public education and for the Badger State as a whole. In Wisconsin, recall would appear to be a far more effective 'tool' than the tools tentatively running the show under the Golden Dome in Madison.
[UPDATE 8/11/2011: For anyone who cares ... Indiana apparently is the "reformiest" state. By reformers' preferred metrics, I believe this means that Indiana will have the top NAEP scores in the nation next time 'round. Right?]

|Sharp-shinned Hawk
There have been hunters here all winter..... A Cooper's Hawk hit the big window a couple weeks ago. Our fledgling birder, little Peggy, goes to that window every single day now and asks where the Bird went.
"It flew away," I tell her, but she always asks again.
I thought that was who was sending all the birds on all the feeders up in a whirl every little while and bouncing them out of the trees and hedgerows willy-nilly.
However, when I was at the sink this morning I saw a small hawk chasing a Cardinal around the fence between the backyard and the horse yard. I grabbed the camera to see if I could find the fray and hurried up through the snow.
To my astonishment the hawk had a female Northern Cardinal trapped up against the snow fence that surrounds my old round pen where I started the Border Collies on sheep. And he was utterly unafraid of me.
He wanted that hen cardinal and he wanted her bad. I took a bunch of photos, waited for the cardinal to get brave and leave, and then left him to it.
I know, I know, you are not supposed to interfere with nature and all that, but dagnabbit, those are MY cardinals. Let the hawk eat starlings. Or House Sparrows! He could feast on fifty or sixty of them and I wouldn't complain.
Seriously though, much as I find it disconcerting to see the feeder birds on the menu, hawks have to eat too. This little sharpie will keep our local fliers honest as well as adding another bird to the year list.
Over the past few years we have seen many more Sharp-shinned and Cooper's Hawks around here, whether because the population is increasing or our habitat is appealing I don't know. For whatever reason it is nice to see them.

No matter where you or aren't on the political spectrum, there has been a lot of tension in the collective unconsciousness both approaching the election and afterward. (And now with the holidays fast approaching, the energies are only going to get worse!) I've heard from Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) on "both sides" who are carrying their own fears as well as that of others. They're scared, anxious, and worried about the direction the United States has been/is headed. While their respective concerns may not have all been the same, the energies they're carrying are too similar to ignore any longer.
These energies are often anger, division, and less acceptance of—or even desire to see—the other's point of view. The irony that many of the people I work with can communicate with non-physical beings but have difficulty doing so with their own relatives hasn't escaped me. But I get it. Non-physical beings don't need anything from you. They're already energetically whole and don't try to change our minds. There's no judgment. So it's easier to isolate ourselves physically and hang out with Melchizedek from the 13th dimension than it is to be with Uncle Fred at Thanksgiving.
The drawback of isolation; however, is having fewer mirrors to aid our spiritual growth. We must learn to step into the fire and not get burned rather than trying to avoid it. (Of course if "the fire" is abusive, we need to exit the situation ASAP!) Likewise we need to learn to better communicate with other people for the country's spiritual growth.
The destructive energies that we hold onto affect our ability—and even desire—to make a difference in a tangible way or to listen lovingly. Fear ignites the ego and stokes the need to be right rather than the need to be compassionate.
In a country of over 320 million people, there are always going to be disagreements. No one side or person will always get their way all of the time. Compromise, compassion and negotiate are not dirty words; they're necessary tools to heal ourselves and the divide.
When stressed, many of us look to our non-physical allies for guidance. But our own fear or those that are empathically absorbed capture our attention so intently that we can no longer clearly hear the incoming transmissions from non-physical beings accurately—much less physical people in our presence—because intense emotion adds a personal filter to the message. We need to address the fear on the level of its creation to heal it and the social divide.
Our egos like to distract us from doing our work. It convinces us to blame, focus on, or heal the other guy first. But not every other guy wants to be healed by us—and no one wants to be blamed! If that doesn't work (it doesn't) the ego then convinces us to do even more. We think we can affect the world on a grand scale, but if that's not in your soul's contract, it's not going to happen. Better to work with the direction your soul wants than to focus on external people and situations that can only lead to a sense of overwhelm and frustration. Certainly there are many who are called to do more work on a more grand scale, but if it's done from over-responsibility it's going to be a very difficult endeavor. On the converse, if it's done from a true calling, the steps will be shown to you if you do your inner work deeply enough to see and hear the clues that are always being sent your way. You'll be connected with others who are open to your ideas and the path will be illuminated.
Trying to heal others or even the planet via a sense of over-responsibility is what made many of us "walking sponges" for energies of other people. Many of us learned this at a very early age and haven't healed that wound well enough to prioritize what can be addressed now and how to do so. If you can't be in the presence of someone offering a different POV than you without tensing up, your ability to love unconditionally may not be as strong as you hoped. We have to better purify ourselves to better send love to those in need.
Sometimes these messages will tell you to focus on yourself, and we need to be okay with that. Not at the expense of others but rather in conjunction with. But if we're inundated with fears—our own or that of others—our personal filters will distort or even block those messages from getting to you.
What's in the collective unconsciousness is an aggregate of what's in each person's mind. Therefore, as we heal our own selves and those nearest to us (if they're willing!), the effects of healing spread outward and eventually can pierce the fear of the collective.
If we're not in the present and embodied, we can confuse the two types of fears and end up using the wrong tools to heal these destructive energies.
If it's our own fear, we need to integrate it rather than talk ourselves out of it or the more casual band-aid style, "cancel-clear." While either can be effective, deeper healing is best achieved via the emotional body—which is often very difficult to do on our own. Cancel-clear—while effective in the short term—doesn't let us deeply learn the lessons at the core level to truly open to a more loving way of being. Integration is more beneficial in the long term because fear does have its place. Without fear we'd let ourselves get run over by a bus: "That's okay, I'll just come back in another lifetime!" may be accurate, but not conducive to the now. Without the capacity for fear, we can never understand, sympathize or heal those who are trapped in its grasp.
We don't need to let fear run our lives. Fear can be a part of us; it doesn't have to define us. Working with the shadow self via integration allows us to use the fear, rather than be used by it. Integration is about fully accepting all parts of self. We are everything, not just love and light. The more we integrate the shadow self, the more whole we can be—what we own cannot own us. Seek assistance from someone who understands this and can hold safe space for you to bring your shadow self to the light.
If the fears have been empathically absorbed from another person or collective unconsciousness, I've found it best to use specific tools designed by HSPs for HSPs for deep healing. "Return to Sender" as described in Self-Care for the Self-Aware has been a remarkable gift for thousands of people when the more traditional, "Give it to the Universe" or cord-cutting has failed.
1. Slow Down
Just like you can't absorb quality nutrition if you're stressed and eating on the run, fear can make you feel rushed and eventually overwhelmed and unhealthy. Rushing will put your focus on the outcome rather than being in the present moment. Challenge yourself to slow down several times throughout the day. This will be very helpful for connecting with others and for accessing higher guidance.
2. Grounding
Make a conscious effort to feel your connection to the Earth. Visualize expanding your energy body downward with your feet touching miles of thick, solid mass.
3. Be Humble
Let's get over our illusions of grandeur and allow the Universe to show us how and when to best use our gifts to heal ourselves, and if it's in our calling, to help others. If we fall a few times, learn what you need to learn from that experience and get back up again. The most successful people in many fields failed many times before they succeeded.
4. Realistic Spiritual Growth
Spiritual Growth is not about never having a negative thought again; it's about catching the negative thoughts before they become pervasive and befriending them. The alternative, judging the judgment, is an invitation to more self criticism. Judgments are going to happen. Fear will always be there. The desire to isolate, too. Laugh when you catch these judgments, emotions, and thoughts and say, "That's not the real me thinking; that's the silly me" and invite the next higher thought to arise.
5. Seek Assistance
If you're unable to determine if the fear you are feeling is yours or that of others, if you're unable to integrate or return the fears to where they belong, or if you'd like guidance to better hear the messages your soul is trying to send you, reach out to a trusted friend or practitioner. Whether with another or myself, it's important to stay humble in these challenging times and ask for help. Remember, if the Universe wanted us to go at it alone, we'd have been given seven billion planets; one person on each. A trusted friend or a clear practitioner can help you be of benefit to the world rather than contribute more worry and fear to the collective unconscious. The techniques that came to me can help you integrate your fears, or return the fear of others so that you can live your best life and have an amazing holiday season, whether you're hanging out with Melchizedek or with your crazy Uncle Fred.

Let me state this as flatly and plainly as I can. I am not in favor of feminism. I am not in favor of the NAACP. I am not in favor of any organization which seeks to promote its own special interests over those of anyone else.I am a strict Constitutionalist. It is unconstitutional to deny anyone else's freedoms and opportunities. Period. You cannot use sex, race, or religion as a basis for denial of same.
I insist that anyone may apply for any job they choose. Anyone may apply to any University they choose. Anyone may attempt to buy a house in any neighborhood they choose.
However – the employer should also have the right to hire the most qualified person possible for the job without the government dictating who must be hired. The University must be free to select the most qualified applicants with the best grades and not forced to admit people who do not measure up to the quality of learning expected just to meet some quota. The banks must be free to deny credit to those who do not qualify financially.
This does mean that I am opposed to any sort of quota system. I am totally against putting any one group above another group. I am for totally free competition. This does mean that if anyone is not hired or admitted because of sex or gender there are and should be heavy penalties.
However – if the search for the best means that a company is heavy on white males – so be it. If the company, in selecting the best people for the jobs winds up heavily black female – so be it. Let the most qualified people get the jobs.
I don't want or need to know someone's sexual orientation on the job. As long as we are all trying to do the best possible job for the company it is irrelevant what makes you horny. I'm not interested and don't care as long as only consenting adults are involved and it does not affect job performance.
I think that race, sex, religion and all the other garbage that we carry around and get all wrapped up in are irrelevant. I am color blind and sex blind on the job. The only thing that matters in the workplace is the ability to perform.
Does it register that someone is tall or short, black or white, male or female, and all the rest? Sure. The things that are superficial characteristics register but generally are not important to job performance. They just don't matter to me (and to most people). So – minority types, quit looking for something that exists mainly in your mind. If you do get hit with real anti-whatever discrimination then you can get wound up about it. But don't see tigers in shadows that don't exist. All humans are capable of maladroit social interaction, but clumsy behavior does not necessarily equal deliberate and malicious behavior.
In short – it is wrong to deny any group's opportunities. It is equally wrong to promote one group over another. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination and oppresses ion. Just because the shoe is on a different foot does not change the fact that it is still a shoe.
Actually, I am not against minorities, I am against promoting minorities over anyone else. Or demoting them below anyone else. Level playing field all the way. That's what I am for.

Maximus Edge Review
The Maximus Edge Autobot EA is a rejuvenating new take on a trading signal system that does not make insane insurance claims. Scam software program right away tries to encourage you that you will end up being a millionaire in no time at all, but the Maximus Edge EA makes no such insurance claims. We will certainly be excavating much deeper into this system as well as give you a comprehensive review of this trading system.
So you recognize, by subscribing with this site, we might make money a compensation. For traders in the United States, Canada and also various other nations please know that you may obtain rerouted to one more offer if this system is not available in your country.
There are hundreds of thousands of investors available that sit in front of their computer screens for hrs at a time. You could be one of them, and if you are, you wil recognize that frequently examining graphes to detect trading opportunies is difficult to do. Which's when you actualy understand exactly what you're doing.
Suppose you're a brand-new investor, or you're merely not that good at evaluating market graphes? Well, that's exactly where the Maximus Edge EA (Expert Advisor) enters into play.
We are informed that with the Maximus Edge Autobot they have "readjusted, tweaked, and maximized the five most popular indications to earn them as profitable as feasible for you." In particular, they are speaking about Pivot Points, Bollinger Bands, MACD, Stochastic RSI and Fibonacci Retracements. These lack a doubt several of the leading signs that almost all investors make use of to study the graphes.
The trick is the best ways to best incorporate all those indications right into a trading strategy that defeats the market. That is specifically exactly what the Maximus Edge Autobot's job is, it will soothe you of all of that tension, choose the best signal combination as well as alert you so that you could make the final decision. That's extremely important too, because in my opinion you just do not desire a system that merely trades without you having any type of say about just how your loan is spent.
The system is named after it's developer, Max or "Maximus" as his coworkers describe him. We are not told much else about Max, and also he does not really expose a lot about himself either, at the very least not in the presentation video.
What I did was to ask about as well as I'm informed that he is a mathematics wizard, but that he does not desire to reveal also much regarding his individual life due to internet giants. I have to say, I can't fault him for that, there are numerous examples of individuals obtaining their exclusive lives tore apart on the net nowadays.
I desire he told us a bit a lot more about himself, but according to my resources Maximus is virtually a genius. He created the Maximus Edge Autobot almost on a "risk" by his coworkers because he was frequently beating them with his remarkably accurate market forecasts.
Just how Does The Maximus Edge EA Work?
I would like to hear precisely just how this system works, and I'm certain you would certainly as well, however we're just not given that details. It likewise makes sense, because if you got all the specific information of exactly how the system generates winning signals, you might just duplicate the approach and also re-sell it.
We do recognize that it functions by combining Bollinger Bands, Pivot Points, Stochastic RSI, MACD and Fibonacci Retracements, which implies that it utilizes reputable indications and also not some made-up crap. In my publication, that's great news and gives me a lot of confidence in this system.
Maximus signs
Quick as well as easy, yes, it's cost-free, yet I don't know for for how long. If a trading system is free, one of the very first questions I constantly get asked is. And while cost-free systems are not always necessarily the best, in this instance I feel great get more info after doing some background study on this system that it will deliver on its assurances.
While I have actually not yet evaluated out this system for myself, I've asked for unique accessibility to examine the system for myself over the following week. I have to request special access, since I'm in the US and generally United States traders are not enabled to sign up. When you have a site like mine that has close to 200 testimonials about trading systems, I've always been able to turn some arms to get a sneak peek.
From just what I've heard from three beta testers is that they were really pleased with the results they have actually been getting.
The system asserts that it was produced with "the objective to generate high earnings-- as much as 84% winning rates" which is extremely outstanding! , if it continues to do even close to that you will certainly make loan with this system.
Cons as well as pros
The only point I don't such as regarding this system is that I wish we had gotten a little bit extra individual details concerning Max. We don't truly know why he produced the system, besides what I was able to dig up by doing some questions.
What I really simulate concerning this system, and also among the primary reasons I really did not simply disregard it as a rip-off, was that Max never ever declares that you will certainly end up being a millionaire over night. In fact, he clearly states "I an NOT guaranteeing that you will certainly get rich overnight, because that would be insane." That holds true, since you have to bear in mind that you could never ever guarantee performance while trading the marketplaces because there is always take the chance of entailed, as well as you should never ever trade with money that you could not pay for to lose. That's simply a principle of trading as well as very audio recommendations!
The other thing that I actually liked about the Maximus Edge Autobot is that it utilizes the same indications that I use every time I examine the markets. The only added device I use is Elliot Wave evaluation, however that's a whole various discussion.
The bright side is that because of the shakeup in the binary sector, essentially every one of the poor brokers have actually shut shop. This is something that I've really hoped would occur and also it's terrific to see that the broker market is getting tidied up and managed correctly. Now it is too early for me to talk about precisely which specific brokers are supporting this system, yet I will report back with an upgrade as soon as I have even more information.
The Maximus Edge EA Autobot hits every one of the best notes for me. There are no ridiculous insurance claims of instantly ending up being a millionaire, the creator of the software application is not telling us lies regarding being a multi-millionaire or some other ridiculous tale.
The system utilizes indications that are well-known which have been verified to work over time, there are no stress tactics as well as no fraudulent badges or anything like that on their site.
Total I think this system is worth trying out, and if you agree, you may wish to not wait too long making your action because excellent systems are typically gotten rid of from the market before they obtain swamped with sign-ups.
The Maximus Edge Autobot EA is a rejuvenating brand-new take on a trading signal system that does not make crazy insurance claims. We will certainly be digging much deeper right into this system and provide you a thorough review of this trading system. One of the very first inquiries I always obtain asked is if a trading system is free. As well as while complimentary systems are not constantly necessarily the finest, in this instance I feel positive after doing some history study on this system that it will certainly deliver on its pledges.
While I have actually not yet tested out this system for myself, I've asked for special accessibility to examine the system for myself over the next week.
5 Easy Facts About Maximus Edge System Described
Maximus Edge Review


text:
While I like to think that the combination of life as a travel writer and fatherhood make me an expert on the subject of family travel, I admit readily that I don't have all the answers.
That, in a nutshell, is why I'm totally geeking out over the latest project from Expedia.
Dubbed "Kids in the City," the effort is a compilation of 12 distinct guides to 12 top U.S. summer family travel destinations such as Boston, Chicago, Denver and San Diego, to name a few. Each guide is run by one of my colleagues—bloggers who also happen to be moms. (As an aside, some of the gals already appear on my blog roll to your right).
The blogs themselves feature the best places to see, stay, eat and play with kids of all ages. They also sport some cool videos.
Expedia certainly had reason to launch this guide; new internal research from the Seattle-based company indicates that 91 percent of U.S. family getaways are for travel here at home, and that 56 percent of those trips are to big cities.
That same data, which Expedia spokespeople shared for this post, indicated that 32 percent of those booking family getaways reported they were going to places they'd never visited before.
I, for one, plan to read the blogs (and follow the authors on Twitter) religiously, combing the resources for nuggets of material I can share with you here. In the meantime, if your summer travel plans call for visits to any of the destinations on the site, be sure to check out Kids in the City for yourself.

Wellingborough housing compulsory purchase order on meadow
A compulsory purchase order to force the sale of meadows to make way for 3,200 new houses in Northamptonshire has been drafted.
Wellingborough council said the order was needed to "facilitate the first phase" of the £200m development on land behind the town's railway station.
The order was agreed after discussions stalled between landowners Wellmere and developers Bovis Homes.
The council expects the order to be served in October.
Building work could begin a year later.
Council leader Paul Bell said: "Stanton Cross is a major, jobs-led development for Wellingborough and this piece of land is needed to open that up.
"The people of the borough have waited 10 years for this development to get going and we can't start on any of it until we have this land."
Outline planning permission for the development was granted in 2008, and the order, which was made yesterday, will now be submitted to communities secretary Eric Pickles.

Since we began publishing in the fall of 2008, many positives have come about as a result of the Barrow Journal being on the scene.
We are the only paper that tells you what is really going on behind the scenes with our elected officials. For too long, certain aspects of local government were swept under the rug. Even when the former district attorney for this county was sent to jail, the only local paper here at the time basically ignored the story. Stepping on toes was not their game.
While we will always look out for your tax dollars and report when they are not being used wisely or legally, a newspaper has many additional components. We have a large sports section because to some people that is the most important part of the page.

text: I'm looking for recommendations on the best way to duplicate and migrate my existing sites so that the original site will continue to function as a .com while the new site can function as a .info. the only difference between the two is that one will not have a specific plugin installed, which essentially serves to cookie-stuff and redirect to Amazon. I installed this on about 50 autoblogs that had been reasonably productive driving traffic to eBay, to the tune of about $300/month. Then I decided to install this plugin and use some desktop software to push additional content to see if I could get more out of the blogs pushing traffic to amazon. It appears to have worked and has even made several of the formerly unproductive blogs productive again. The downside is that my traffic to ebay died completely, so the net gain is nil. The way the plugin functions makes it impossible for me to monetize for both eBay and Amazon on the same blog, hence the rationale behind making a .info duplicate. That said, is there a way to basically backup blog A on domain.com and then restore it to domain.info? I'd prefer to do it this way because it's a lot easier to just remove the plugin from existing blogs than it would be to install it and configure it all of the new blogs from scratch. I've heard that I can use backup buddy or wptwin for this, but it's never clear whether there's any additoinal configuration to be done with the HTAccess files or anything. With 50 blogs to do this to, I'd like to make it as seemless as possible. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Taking the long view on health and habits, Ann Arbor program seeks to slash factors that lead to heart disease, diabetes
Angela J. Cesere | AnnArbor.com
Frank Kurk, 67, has spent a lifetime on a weight roller coaster.
Diets have worked, and failed, and worked again for the retired Ann Arbor resident. But when Kurk's doctor discovered high blood sugar and blood pressure levels, plus an obese weight at an annual physical, Kurk decided the time for real change had arrived.
Kurk had metabolic syndrome, which means he has at least three of five risk factors that, left untreated, make the onset of cardiovascular disease or diabetes likely. The conditions open the door for heart attack, stroke and a host of other other costly and devastating complications.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of adults in the U.S. have metabolic syndrome.
Factors for metabolic syndrome include central obesity, or gut fat; high triglycerides, meaning too much fat in the blood; low HDL — or "good" — cholesterol; elevated insulin while fasting; and high blood pressure. The condition afflicts millions of Americans, and its prevalence increases with age and a higher body-mass index.
Rather than hop on another diet bandwagon, Kurk enrolled in a metabolic fitness program offered at the University of Michigan Health System's Cardiovascular Medicine unit at Domino's Farms. Stress, nutrition and exercise are among the topics addressed by a nurse practitioner, a behaviorist, a nutritionist and an exercise physiologist in the program, which entails weekly 90-minute sessions of education, discussion and exercise for either three or six months.
Melvyn Rubenfire, a preventive cardiologist at the University of Michigan, created the program in 2005. He's quick to point out that a metabolic fitness program is not an obesity or weight loss program.
According to Rubenfire, the medical director for cardiovascular medicine for the U-M Health System, lifestyle changes are the best solution for metabolic syndrome, nipping in the bud factors that can lead to heart disease and diabetes.
These kinds of changes are challenging to manage for doctors crunched for time and for patients whose bad habits have become part of a comfortable daily routine.
But the metabolic fitness program makes an attempt.
"We look at people who are at risk, and we try to adjust those risk factors," Rubenfire said.
Now, an article by Rubenfire and others on the 12-week version of the program is being reviewed by the Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention, he said.
It shows that the program eliminated metabolic syndrome in 20 percent of 126 participants enrolled between 2005 and 2009. The article seeks to show how a cardiac rehabilitation program can be adopted for managing lifestyle habits, which was the case at Domino's Farms.
Soon, U-M will have data on more than 100 patients who have completed the newer six-month program. The results are promising so far. Forty-three percent of 63 people who have been tracked eliminated the condition via lifestyle changes taught in the course.
Blood sugar and triglycerides in particular take a dive for those who commit. Body composition changes for the better. And patients' mental health tends to dramatically improve.
Successful participants are those who have resolved to change, Rubenfire said. For about one in five, the weekly lectures and exercise sessions make no difference whatsoever.
While the Washtenaw County Public Health Department doesn't track metabolic syndrome among county residents, it does track obesity. Figures from the department's 2005 phone survey of 2,000 households showed that 18 percent of residents are obese, and nearly half of local residents are overweight. The survey is conducted every five years, but 2010 results are not yet available.
Rubenfire said those most at risk for metabolic syndrome would have someone in the family with diabetes, combined with the bad habit of eating lots of calories from foods with a high glycemic index, leading to gut fat. White bread is an example of such a food.
Almost six months after enrolling, Kurk has lost 80 pounds. He takes half the blood pressure medication he used to. His blood sugar is back within a normal range.
"Everything is better. Nothing is the same or worse," Kurk said.
Kurk said he's taken to heart what he's learned during the program. The biggest lifestyle change has been with food. He used to eat out up to three times a day. Now, he eats out maybe once a week, exercises, and eats a lot more vegetables.
"I've learned how to think smarter when it comes to eating, and not just calories, but the balance of food and sodium levels," he said.
At a recent session, he learned about strength training before working with a trainer on the exercises themselves.
The program is not covered by insurance, although blood work, a stress test and a medical assessment by a nurse practitioner at the start of the program typically are, said Rubenfire. Patients have to be referred to the program by a physician and it costs $350 or $700 for the three-month and six-month plan, respectively.
Rubenfire acknowledged many can't afford the program. But he added that patients are more likely to attend, comply with what's suggested and complete it if they pay. Rubenfire hopes to take the data he has collected to present it to some large corporations in Washtenaw County to see if employers will reimburse the cost of the sessions for their workers.
Kurk is convinced the program will pay off in more ways than one.
"There is certainly an expense, but if that expense equates to less medication and doctor visits down the road, then it will pay for itself," he said.

Thanks for your response. I am speaking about the Law of Temperance as stated by poet John Milton in his epic poem of Paradise Lost. Angel Michael consoled Adam and had asked to observe the Law of Temperance and to simply avoid excess in what he eats and what he drinks. If Jesus doesn't work, we have to use the Natural Law of Temperance. It is all about being Smart in what we do.

Think smart while eating and drinking. The amount of food and beverages we consume are affected by the thoughts that we entertain as the thoughts formulate our eating behavior and the attitude towards food and drink. The smart way and attitude towards food is described in the Book of John, Chapter 6, verse 35. While eating food and while consuming liquids, man has to reflect on those ideas;"I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." We need to understand the mechanism that contributes to Satiation, the Satisfaction that is derived when man eats and drinks. This preventive approach is not adequate as it fails to define the term Health.

hey, whatever works for you ;-) We don't do the sorts of things day-to-day that people used to do, you know, back in the days of John and Jesus, like labor manually, get exercise, have limited food and drink. Now we drive everywhere and can buy food on credit cards and there's a for-profit food industry hoping we get addicted to Mountain Dew and potato chips... If appealing to the Lord Almighty helps some resist self-destruction via the chasing of temporarily-satisfying but ultimately-disease-inducing behaviors, then sure, why not? Some of us only need to feel the 'ick' of too much salted food and too many extra pounds on the belly, but I don't think that makes us morally righteous ;-)

Yes, @sh1, I agree that it's too bad such programs aren't covered by insurance. But so long as Big Pharma's lobbying arm can be so effective within our pay-to-play political system, diabetes drugs and high blood pressure medications win the day, *not* these lifestyle programs which truly bestow health instead of all the new symptoms and problems associated with the chemical dependences BigPharma prefers. Exercise is a better treatment for depression than pills are. But the people who might benefit from the pushing of exercise don't have lawyers in DC. So everyone's on psychoactive meds instead. The makers of drugs like Lipitor had physicians wondering whether they ought to just put statins in the water supply, they were so miraculous. Until it became clear that it caused all sorts of side effects that the drug companies actually knew about, but downplayed in their clinical reporting. It's more than a problem of "short-term profits", it's a question of *who* benefits from insurance's refusal to cover wellness programs.

Sorry to hear the program is not covered by insurance. Too often, wellness plans are not covered in the goal to make short-term profits regardless of the long-term outcomes.

So I've been a bit delayed in writing my week's blog entry due to going back to Connecticut for my oldest girl's graduation. When we arrived there, I needed to rent a car and for 10 dollars more than a Chevy Malibu, I was able to get a very cool burnt orange Challenger. It was the ONLY one I saw the entire weekend of driving around and it gather looks and comments everywhere I went.
Along with the car, we needed a place to stay and I found a bed and breakfast that was a working farm (small) called "Butternut Farm". It was a very eccentric place to stay for a few days with good food, poor cellular coverage and virtual no lighting at night to see the sign or the building so I missed it a few times trying to find it at 9PM. It turns out that it's really dark on country roads in Connecticut.
So what does a farm B&B and a orange Challenger have in common? Not too much till I came back to the farm one afternoon and saw a cool photo op by moving the car a few feet into the front of the barn and shooting with scene. I shot knowing full well I would need to photoshop the image since the light was not the best and rain had just started to mist down so everything was a dull blue tint. But I managed to rip off several images and by paying attention to details that I could control like the placement of the car, angle of the shot and waiting for the chickens, I got a good image to work with.
Here is the before and after shot.
As you can see, I worried about my composition first, then I dealt with the lighting, color and so on. Now that I have the shot, I loaded up photoshop CS5 and went to work using my Wacom and blend modes. The trick is to use a couple of layers to built up the color and detail of the car. You can see the original was a bit flat and the lower body panel was dark due to the overhead flat light. So I made a duplicate layer and used the multiply blend mode to darken up the very light highlights. I then applied a layer mask to hide it and re-applied it using a soft brush at 10% opacity to where I wanted to darken up things like the glass and top body highlights. I repeated the process again but used the screen mode to get a lightened version of the car. Again, I used my Wacom to apply a 10% layer to the lower body panels, the back and anywhere else that needed to be punched up a bit. Next was the application of an orange photography filter at 40%. Another layer mask let me paint out the orange on the blacks and wheels. The final touch was using Red Giant Light Factory to apply a "sun" to the tree line and tweak the final overall warmth of the image.
After all that which took about 30 minutes, I ended up with a pretty cool "product" shot of the classic Challenger in the farmyard. I did think about adding a flag but I thought would be too over the top of stereotypes.

Last year, when Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled his third generation of Kindle Fire tablets, he also offered a new sales slogan: premium products at non-premium prices.
But on Wednesday, when Bezos brought forth the new Amazon Fire phone, that slogan was nowhere to be seen. And that could be a big problem for the new phone.
As noted before the announcement, Amazon didn't need to make a phone to appeal to everyone to aid its own efforts. Kindle tablets, after all, have an overall market share in the single digits. But the owners tend to buy more Amazon stuff, sign up for prime memberships and generally act as more-profitable customers.
The problem is that the phone seems to have no special draw. It certainly won't appeal to everybody. The question is if it will even appeal to anybody.
The Fire tablets, by contrast, have a straightforward appeal: premium hardware at a discount price. Sure, you can't run all the apps you can on an iPad, or even an Android tablet. But you can do most of what people want to do with tablets — surf the Web, watch video, play games — for considerably less than the cost of an iPad or one of Samsung's high-end models.
The Fire Phone, sadly, has no such appeal. It has some gee-whiz features, such as a simulated 3-D view that gives maps and other apps seemingly more depth. And the camera is hot stuff. But people use a lot more apps on their phones, and Amazon's has fewer of them than Apple's (AAPL) or Google's (GOOGL).
Amazon has built a pretty compelling media ecosystem, with its Kindle ebooks, Prime streaming videos and a recently-debuted music service. But those won't help sell many Fire phones. Ebooks and music are available via Amazon apps to Android and iOS users while a video app is offered for iOS.
Wall Street seemed excited by the phone's amazing scan and identify feature. As Bezos demonstrated how the phone could identify 100 million different objects, videos and even songs and link to purchase buttons (and third-party apps, as well), Amazon shares moved from unchanged to up almost 3% on the day. But a phone that makes it ever easier to buy things on Amazon only matters if some people buy the phone first. That's going to be be a big hurdle for the Fire phone.
And the new phone's pricing is just plain, ho-hum, boring. Pay $200 with a two-year contract or more than $600 on a pay-as-you-go plan. And by the way, you can only get one on AT&T's (T) network with AT&T's regular priced monthly plans.
Amazon has come a long way since it ignited the ebook market with the first Kindle ereader in 2007. That was dull hardware tied to an incredibly valuable service offering -- $9.99 ebook best sellers, free wireless connections and an always-available ebook store in your pocket. Bezos seems to have lost his way since then, at least as far as the Fire phone goes.
To be sure, Amazon can still market the phone on the top of its super-popular website. And the company's hardware sales model entails taking little risk – the company hasn't listed a single write-down for unsold inventory in its annual 10-K since the first Kindle ereader went on sale seven years ago.
There was much speculation in the days before the phone announcement that Bezos might have something tricky up his sleeve to up-end the mobile industry. When word leaked earlier this week that AT&T would have an exclusive on the phone, however, those rumors started to lose credibility. And Bezos had nothing special on pricing — no cut-rate phone price or monthly plans, no "Prime" data package, nothing.
Some years ago, a single carrier could drive a new phone to hit status simply by pushing it on hapless customers who came into its retail stores. There's always a chance, however remote, that tactic could work for Amazon and AT&T with the new Fire phone.
But it seems like a pretty long shot.
