2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon: Quick In Some Respects
March 02, 2011
The Acura TSX Sport Wagon may not be lightning at the track. In our full test of an identically outfitted TSX wagon, its 0-60 time was a drowsy 8.8 seconds.
But in everyday driving, its five-speed automatic transmission is quick to shift when you need it. As soon as it hits an incline, even a subtle one, it doesn't hesitate to downshift. And I was driving in D, letting the car do its own thing.
I find the TSX Sport Wagon to be enough for me on the road. I had no problems passing pokey commuters or merging into traffic. I think this is going to be one of my favorite cars in the fleet.

Bobalki (also spelled bobalky, babalki, babalky) are Slovak baked balls of dough.
They can be served sweet with ground poppy seeds and honey, or savory with sauerkraut and onion.
They are a favorite for Slovak Christmas Eve, known as velija, and during Lent, but these light and airy balls of dough are delicious any time of year. View this image gallery of a Slovak Christmas Eve Velija.
What You'll Need
- For the Dough:
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 5 tablespoons canola oil or butter (if not fasting)
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- For the Syrup:
- 1/2 cup poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup honey
How to Make It
Make the Dough Balls
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a medium saucepan, bring to boil 2 cups water, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and oil or butter if not fasting. Cool to lukewarm.
- Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 cup warm water.
- Place flour in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl. Add lukewarm water-sugar-oil mixture and yeast-sugar-water mixture.
- Combine thoroughly and knead until smooth, about 7 minutes in the mixer and at least 10 minutes by hand. Cover and let rise until doubled.
- Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough 1/2- to 1-inch thick and cut into pieces that will result in 1-inch balls when rolled between the palms of the hand.
- Place on a parchment-lined or well-floured cookie sheet with dough ball sides touching.
- Heat oven to 375 F. Let rise, covered with oiled plastic wrap until nearly doubled.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
Make the Poppy Seed-Honey Syrup and Assemble
- Gather the ingredients.
- Grind poppy seeds in a mortar and pestle with a little water or milk and set aside.
- When the bobalki are cool, break the balls apart and place them in a colander. Pour just enough boiling water over bobalki to soften them but not turn them into mush. Drain well.
- Pour warm honey and ground poppy seeds over all. Stir lightly and serve immediately.
Savory Bobalki Variation
Instead of using poppy seeds and honey, rinse a 1-pound can sauerkraut and squeeze out all moisture. Sauté chopped onion in butter (or oil if following a strict fast). Mix with baked bobalki and season with salt and pepper to taste.

RYAN HOWARD wanted to know if you wanted to trade places with him, and your first reaction was a resounding hell yes, because when you look at Ryan Howard, you see the pea-sized diamonds piercing his ear, and the silver chain hanging from his neck, and the mansion with $80,000 worth of doorknobs rising above the rim of Tampa Bay. You see the flashbulbs and the headlines and the highlight reels and the 30,000 people sitting in a circle watching your every move. And, well, let's stop right there for a second.
That last part: Those people, including you, right now, looking at Ryan Howard, looking at his life the way nobody has ever looked at yours, and not feeling a shred of shame about doing so. What if there were 30,000 Ryan Howards studying you? What if there were 30,000 Ryan Howards watching your work day, judging your production, writing stories about your diamonds and your chains and your doorknobs, wondering whether you are worth the salary that your employer is paying you, wondering if somebody might be able to do your job better? What if you lived in a city full of Ryan Howards, and everywhere you went, you felt their stares as you passed? What if you started to think about what those Ryan Howards were thinking. Hey, isn't that the guy who used to be the best at what he did? How would that feel?
Do you want that?
"Want to trade places?" Howard asked. "Want to see what it's like?"
This was yesterday in the wake of a 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He had been benched. He had been belittled. He had been rumored to be on the verge of release. And then he had been restored, pointing to the sky as he circled the bases after a two-run home run, diving for a ground ball and throwing out the lead-runner from his left knee, drawing a two-out walk that would lead to a pivotal, if unorthodox, run. For at least 24 hours, Howard was a hero again.
But here's the thing about heroes: They're only heroes in other people's eyes. Heroes do not exist in mirrors. There, they are humans, the same ones they have stared at since the start of their lives. The rational ones understand that this is the gig for which they applied. But that does not mean they do not feel.
"It's all about putting things in perspective," Howard said. "There's a lot of outside stuff, a lot of outside people who have their own opinions and stuff like that. They can't walk in my shoes, so they don't know what it's like. I don't pretend to walk in yours to know what your life is like. This is what happens, this is where we are. We get paid a lot of money to play here. We're in a magnifying glass.
"It's tough, you've got all this stuff that's going around, but you turn the other cheek, try to stay positive. The haters, the naysayers, all that stuff - I still have love for them, because I'm a positive guy."
It is the game we have created, a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. The more we care about our idols, the bigger they become, and the bigger they become, the more we care. But the idolization of humans has always been a tricky business, because all humans follow the same trajectory, and that trajectory always ends in dust. That is where these Phillies are headed, and the rewards that Howard earned during their rise now make him the focal point during their fall. The body fails before the pride, and much of what we have witnessed over the last 2 years has been the conflict between the two. It has the potential to get ugly, to become the kind of situation in which nostalgia turns to sadness. Thus far, Howard has done an admirable job of preventing such a transition. Yesterday, he deflected a question about his relationship with Ryne Sandberg, saying he wanted to keep the focus on what the Phillies accomplished on the field. The manager has talked about the need for adjustment.
"Maybe the adjustment is keeping it simple," Howard said.
That means ignoring what you can't control, a category that includes the judgments of others. It means focusing on the positive aspects of your existence, and blocking out the negative. It means reminding yourself of a constant truth whenever the embarrassment or heartbreak or financial strife feels like more than you can bear: that for every person who might turn down the offer, another would feel blessed to walk in your shoes.

Concord Music Hall, Chicago, IL
March 4, 2016
It turns out that not one but two sets of Teutonic metal masters were visiting the metropolitan Chicago area on the weekend of March 4-6. One band (Helloween) was in the midst of a short 5-show American run, while the other band (Accept) was doing just two gigs on U.S. soil. By some miracle of the metal gods, both bands were hitting Chicago on back-to-back nights. So Jen and I did what any self-respecting metalheads would do: We took a day off from work and hopped a flight to Midway International Airport for the weekend. On a cold (by wimpy Southerner standards, haha) overcast day, we made our way north and west from downtown Chicago on the L via the blue line, getting off at the Western station. A lousy McDonald's meal and a few blocks' walk later, we found ourselves outside the Concord Music Hall, a large (capacity had to be over 1,000, although it was lower tonight because the balconies were closed even though the floor level seemed mostly full) classy facility. From what I understand, the Concord only recently reopened as a rock/metal venue after having previously been a rap/R&B type club that closed its doors after multiple encounters of violence caused it to lose its liquor license. Beer prices were a shameful $8 even for pedestrian Goose Island brews, so I stuck with ice water. It wasn't that I was trying to save money for merch either, as tonight's headliner Helloween had no merchandise stand and hawked no wares of any kind. Talk about a missed opportunity, sheesh. Helloween lost thousands in merch sales in Chicago alone! Anyway, Jen and I found a nice spot in the second row, just right of the center, standing behind some short Latinos (and one Latina) who seemed far more interested in recording the gig on their phones than actually enjoying the gig itself, so I had an unobstructed view all night long.
At 7:55 p.m., the local openers, Septer, took the stage. If the name sounds familiar, it should. This is the same Septer that released two well-received albums early in the 2000s (one in 2003 and the other in 2006). I had no idea they were a going concern, but here they were. Not sure exactly how much of the original lineup remains in place, but guitarists Orest "Hawk" Dziatyk and Paul Dailey are definitely still in the fold, as is vocalist Dane McArtney, who sang on Septer's 'The God Key' album in '06. The band, who were using Them's drumkit, raced through six songs (five originals and one cover, a spirited run through Maiden's "Wrathchild") very much in the Priest/Maiden-meets-U.S. power metal mold. The wool-cap and leather-gloves wearing McArtney (who was decked out in gear for a band called Judas Beast, which I can only assume is a cover band he fronts) has a hell of a powerful voice, reaching up and commanding those high notes on cuts like "Blood and Dishonor"; moreover, Hawk is a flashy guitarist who is fun to watch. Songs all sounded good, although Septer were saddled with a poor live mix and muddy sound, and it was a very pleasant 30 minutes. No new songs were aired, but the old stuff has held up surprisingly well. Setlist: Attack of the Ibex, Death by the Axe, Blood and Dishonor, Devil's Prey, Wrathchild, Transgressor.
Next up were tour openers Them, who ponied up for this short Helloween tour even though their debut album, 'Sweet Hollow,' will not even be released until later in the springtime. Obviously, the name Them conjures up thoughts of King Diamond; therefore, it should come as no surprise that Them are engaged in full-fledged, unabashed, unadulterated King Diamond worship, both musically and visually. The musical side actually works well. Songs like "Dead of Night" sounded cool, with twin guitars, catchy melodies and compelling falsetto vocals. The theatrical side was a different story, however. The band used Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as intro music. That's just wrong. They borrowed/stole from King Diamond in every way imaginable. There was a baby in a smoke-filled coffin, an angry cross-wielding priest, a possessed young woman, a grandmother, a bone microphone and a top hat. The trouble is that while King Diamond expertly combines horror/eerie imagery with just enough campiness, Them descended into full-on low-budget goofiness most of the time. I almost felt like it was a parody, like Them were taking the piss out of King Diamond. Maybe that's not what they intended, but that's what it felt like. The use of other characters onstage seemed forced, half-baked and sadly contrived, like when Grandma wailed to the crowd – a propos of absolutely nothing – that the possessed girl had hanged her dog, or when she complained that she "had a bone to pick" with the singer. Characters milled about onstage for no apparent reason, darting on and off. For one song, the girl crept after Them's vocalist with an axe, taking a few half-hearted swings that came nowhere near his head. Why? The last song featured a full-blown ritual exorcism/sacrifice, concluding with the singer "stabbing" a knife into the girl and "blood" spurting out into a chalice, which the singer then drank, allowing the blood to dribble down his face, onto his shirt, and down to the stage floor as he cackled maniacally. Lovely. Thus ended Them's 35-minute performance. I don't know. Maybe it will all come together when the album is released and the lyrical concept is unveiled. For now, however, much as I enjoyed the musical side of Them's gig, the visual/theatrical side was pretty much a miss, as far as I'm concerned.
Them's set concluded at around 9:15 p.m. At 10:00, Helloween still hadn't gone onstage, even though the stage had been prepared, instruments had been checked, and everything had seemed ready to go for quite some time. What was going on? Helloween aren't really known for pulling an Axl Rose by making the audience wait forever. Somehow it seemed that, hmmmm, this tale just wasn't right. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Shortly after 10:00 p.m., the band's tour manager came out, picked up a microphone, and addressed the crowd. Uh-oh. In very polite, apologetic terms, he explained that the whole band had gotten sick during a couple of bitterly cold days in Canada a few days earlier. So ill were they, he said, that a doctor was with one of the band members right now checking to see if he was physically able of playing tonight's gig. Double uh-oh. Then the tour manager smiled and reassured us that "we Germans are resilient," and that he expected Helloween would be able to perform if we would just be patient for 5 or 10 more minutes.
It was closer to 20 minutes later when the stage went dark and the traditional "Walls of Jericho" trumpet intro music played, after which the five 'Weenies strolled onstage with a strong rendition of "Eagle Fly Free," giving way to the wimpy (but somehow still pounding) "Dr. Stein." Honestly, all of the band members looked fine, with one notable exception. Tall, lanky, Backstreet Boys-coiffed guitarist Sascha Gerstner was in obvious distress, his already-pale face having taken on an almost deathly pallor, sweating profusely even though the room was not warm, his movements tentative and shaky, his visage a mask of misery. It looked to me like the dude could pass out or keel over at any moment, and he was clearly not a happy camper. After "Dr. Stein," affable vocalist Andi Deris paused to explain the obvious: Canada was cold, the band had all gotten sick, everybody was powering on with the help of meds, but Gerstner had just received a hit of extra-special medicine to allow him to play tonight. I would have expected Gerstner's illness to cut the show short. It didn't. God bless him, Gerstner gamely stayed out on the stage and powered his way like a boss through a 16-song, 110-minute performance (including a solo spot, which I think was truncated as the lone concession to his illness). He collapsed in a chair in the wings of the stage whenever he could, but never faltered onstage. It really was remarkable, and hugely appreciated by audience and band mates alike. Under the circumstances, no one would have faulted Gerstner for bowing out of the full set, yet the man stayed out there the entire time to bring German heavy metal music to the people of Chicago. For that reason, Deris dedicated the song "Heroes" to Gerstner, as he was the real hero of the night. And towards the end of the show, when it was time for band introductions, Gerstner received louder applause and audience reaction than anyone, eliciting a weak smile from the pale guitarist in spite of himself. If tonight's Helloween gig was good (and it was), then we have only Sascha Gerstner to thank because it was his selfless act of metal soldierdom when all the chips were down that made it happen. Cheers and thank you, Sascha. I'll never make fun of your haircut again.
For my taste, this was actually a really strong Helloween set. To be honest, I haven't been overly enamored of the last few albums. They're not bad; on the contrary, they're quite listenable and enjoyable, even. But everything sounds so rehashed and formulaic that it all feels a bit like Helloween are going through the motions. Having said that, all three new songs aired tonight ("My God-Given Right," "Heroes" and "Lost in America") sounded killer, and the set was peppered with other highlights from the Deris era, from standbys like "Mr. Torture" and "Power" to the surprising inclusion of tracks like the awesome "Before the War" and "When the Rain Grows" and "Steel Tormentor," all culled from the band's oft-overlooked mid-90s output. Damn, this is good stuff, and it sounded great tonight. Deris may not be blessed with the world's greatest voice, but he is an engaging, friendly and charismatic frontman, whether regaling the audience with stories about his move to Spain as a solution to his half-French, half-German lineage (not sure how many Americans grasped the quandary created by that particular bloodline) or donning a top hot for the last few tunes of the set. Andi Deris is the sort of bloke you'd love to sit down and have a beer with. As for bassist Markus Grosskopf, the dude is a beast, a ball of energy, the heart and soul of Helloween, even when he (with a twinkle in his eye) descended into full-on Rudy Sarzo-land by licking the neck of his bass. By contrast, I've never understood the stage persona of guitarist Michael Weikath, and I still don't. Yeah yeah, the guy's a legend, blah blah blah, but his disdainful, disinterested facial expressions coupled with his odd, exaggeratedly effeminate stage moves have never worked for me, and tonight was no exception. By contrast, drummer Dani Loble is a lot of fun to watch, a high-energy drummer who adds a lot to the tunes even though his solo spot was largely unnecessary and workmanlike.
I enjoyed Helloween's set a great deal, but my favorite part had to be the five-song medley that included key parts of "Halloween," "Sole Survivor," "I Can," "Are You Metal?" and "Keeper of the Seven Keys." Some passages in that medley literally sent chills down my spine, they sounded so good. Predictably, the night ended with Helloween's biggest hits and most well-known tunes from the Kiske/Hansen days, "Future World" and "I Want Out." Oh, I know it's fashionable in some metalhead circles to bash these tunes, but I appreciate them for what they are and they never fail to put a smile on my face. That said, "I Want Out" overstayed its welcome a bit tonight, thanks to a (totally ridiculous) moshpit that erupted in that song for the first time all night, spawning multiple crowd surfers even as Deris led the crowd in a prolonged singalong. Metalheads of Chicago: How can you start a moshpit during "I Want Out"? What the hell is the matter with you? For shame. You're better than that. Anyway, it was 12:15 a.m. when the show finally ended. Jen and I drifted outside to find a fresh coating of light snow on the ground, but our hearts were light and happy as we shivered in the cold to wait for the blue line train and walked the Magnificent Mile in downtown after 1:00 a.m. to reach our Gold Coast hotel. Cheers and thank you, Helloween and especially Sascha Gerstner!
Setlist: Eagle Fry Free, Dr. Stein, My God-Given Right, Steel Tormentor, Mr. Torture, Waiting for the Thunder, Straight out of Hell, Heroes / drum solo, Where the Rain Grows, Lost in America, Power, Forever and One, Medley (Halloween/Sole Survivor/I Can/Are You Metal?/Keeper of the Seven Keys). Encores: Before the War, Sascha Gerstner guitar solo, Future World, I Want Out.

Luxury Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 432 quotes )
Luxury is dangerous to people who have never known it and to whom its temptations are held out too suddenly. [...] Just as the advantage of culture is that it enables you to talk nonsense with distinction, so the habit of luxury allows you to regard its frills and furbelows with a proper contumely.[Giulia Lazzari]
Luxury cruises were designed to make something unbearable (a two week transatlantic crossing) seem bearable. There's no need to do it now, there are planes. You wouldn't take a vacation where you ride on a stage coach for two months but there's all-you-can-eat shrimp. You wouldn't take a vacation where you had an old-timey appendectomy without anesthesia while steel drums play. You might take a vacation while riding on a camel for two days IF they gave you those little animal towels wearing your sunglasses.


text: Ok, so we all know that (if selected) your iPod will automatically Sync with your iTunes library, so that in effect your iPod becomes a replica of all the music files in your iTunes library. What I'm wondering is, is there a way to do the opposite? i.e. to Sync an iTunes library with your iPod, so that iTunes becomes a replica of all the music files on your iPod? The reason I ask is, I have two different computers. The one comp (PC) has all my music, and I use this to Sync my iPod, but then I'd like to be able to use my iPod to transfer/Sync these files to the OTHER computer (Mac). See what I mean? The Sync feature is so convenient, so I'd rather the iPod just sync automatically to the other comp (Mac) (i.e. transfer newly added files, or delete files, etc.), rather than me having to manually add/transfer new music to the other comp (Mac) all the time. So again, is it possible to auto-sync/transfer iPod files to iTunes, rather than (the normal way) of the other way around?

Norma is a Swedish ammunition company that specializes in crafting precision rifle ammunition for exotic hunts with any class of game animal as well as rifle competitions that depend on repeatable accuracy. With experience dating back to the early 20th century, Norma has been one of the top innovators in terminal ballistic technology and remains one of the most popular hunting ammo brands around the world. Oryx bullets, most similar to Bonded Soft Points, are a unique offering from Norma that take advantage of many modern production methods in order to produce the most clean and effective hits on game animals.
Each Oryx bullet has a thin copper jacket towards its top which is serrated both internally and externally around the narrowly exposed lead tip. This part of the jacket is not bonded to the lead core of the bullet which helps to provide devastating expansion upon impact with the target. In addition, the rear of the copper jacket is much thicker and is bonded to the base of the lead core to prevent separation and maintain momentum even after contact with dense flesh and shoulder bones. With all of these factors combined, the hunter is guaranteed a round that will penetrate deeply, expand widely and rapidly, and dump the maximum amount of potential energy into the target.
The 156 grain bullets have a fairly flat trajectory and when sighted in at 100 yards will not drop more than an inch out to 150 yards. When sighted in at 200 yards, the largest interim rise is 1.5 inches at 100 yards. Each round leaves the muzzle at 3,085 feet per second where it carries 3,298 foot-pounds of energy. At 100 and 200 yards the round will retain 2,705 and 2,203 foot-pounds of game-stopping energy respectively.

Development of pregnenolone derivatives as allosteric inhibitors of CB1 cannabinoid receptors for thetreatment of schizophrenia and psychotic syndromes
Detalles del proyecto
Coste total:EUR 150 000
Aportación de la UE:EUR 150 000
Coordinado en:France
Convocatoria de propuestas:ERC-2014-PoCSee other projects for this call
Régimen de financiación:ERC-POC - Proof of Concept Grant
Excessive activation of the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1) in the brain by synthetic, endogenous or plant-derived (cannabis sativa) cannabinoids can lead to pathological states, which could be ameliorated by blocking receptor signalling. However, due to the large number of functions involving the CB1 receptor, direct CB1 antagonist drugs induce side effects limiting their therapeutic use. During the ERC-StG funded project, we found that a particular endogenous and labile lipid compound, pregnenolone, acts as an allosteric and signal-specific inhibitor of CB1 receptors in the brain. Thus, stable pregnenolone-derivative drugs have been produced to exploit the therapeutic potential of allosteric inhibition of CB1 receptor signalling, which can be used to decrease pathological over-activation of CB1 receptors. One clear pathological state where over-activation of CB1 receptors plays a key role is schizophrenia and psychotic syndromes. Indeed, cannabis and synthetic cannabinoids can induce psychotic states and excessive CB1 receptor signalling has been proposed to participate in the etiopathogenesis of human schizophrenia. Thus, the present project aims at establishing the innovative and commercial potential of this new class of drugs, stable derivatives of pregnenolone, as allosteric inhibitors of the CB1 receptor for the treatment of psychotic syndromes.
The following issues will be addressed:
1. Technical activities will identify the compounds with the best therapeutic potential.
2. Market studies will determine the potential competitiveness of these compounds.
3. Additional industry partnerships will be sought for later stages of commercial development.
By covering these essential steps bridging a scientific idea from basic research to therapeutic applications, the present project is fully integrated in the spirit of the ERC PoC program and, if successful, will provide key medical, economical and societal benefits to Europe.

Delhi's Baolis by Simon de Trey-White
23rd September, 2012, Mehrauli, New Delhi, India. Rajon Ki Baoli in Mehrauli,
This magnificent three-storeyed stepwell is believed to have been built by Daulat Khan during the reign of Sikandar Lodi in 1516. The baoli was used by masons for some time hence, its name as Rajon Ki Baoli.
At the turn of the last century, Delhi had more than 100 baolis, today, many of them have caved in or dried up owing to the declining water table. The number has shrunk to about 15, according to the ASI. Stepwells (Baolis) are examples of the many types of storage and irrigation tanks that were developed in India, mainly to cope with seasonal fluctuations in water availability.

Today I have a look at Pretty Serious BSOD, Blue Screen of Death. If only the real Blue Screen of death was this gorgeous! Does that still exist? I mostly use Macs and It's been years since I've seen the old BSOD. So this isn't just another blue polish. One can easily get lost looking at the sparkle in this polish! Seriously I've spent way too much time starring at my nails wearing this. This is one polish that needs to be seen in person to really appreciate it. I can only hope my pictures do this one some justice because it's really quite the looker. No issues with application or the formula it went on like a dream! Could easily be one of my favorite blues in my stash!

Harps coming to museum and area businesses
Mar 01, 2013
The Museum of Making Music is taking part of its next exhibit, "The Harp: A Global Story of Man, Music and Medicine"on the road and the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce will be one of several business stops along the way.
The exhibit, which runs from March 23 through Sept. 30, explores the history of the harp. While it will give visitors a sense of all of the different types of harps, the exhibit is more than just an "encyclopedic look at different types of harps," according to a museum media release.
"Rather, the exhibit serves as a passport through man's migration across time and continents, revealing not only the harp's place in human history, but acting as a door into myriad cultural stories. The harp's narrative illustrates the cycle of making music – that alchemical, unplanned collaboration among political, economic, and sociological factors, as well as among instrument maker, musician, composer, and audience – that tells the dynamic story of how and why instruments and music-making evolve," the release states.
"I have never researched an instrument that has surprised me so completely as the harp," Museum Director Carolyn Grant states.
In conjunction with the in-house exhibit, the museum will host a six-concert series that will feature classical, South American, African, Celtic and jazz harp performances.
The exhibit features artifacts, sound samples of harps used in a variety of musical styles, and hands-on harps for visitors to experience. It illustrates the harp's place in treating pain, autism, and dementia, and offers insight into how the harp traveled with ancient civilizations across every continent on the planet.
Part of the exhibit includes a community outreach component, "Harps in the City," that will send portable harps hand-painted by local artists to locations throughout Carlsbad.
One of the first businesses to get a harp is Yoga Bound. Summer Fah, and Yoga Bound teacher who is also an artist, decorated one of the traveling harps for the exhibit.
"It think this is a very creative way for businesses and the museum to join forces and highlight each other," said Alana Bray, Yoga Bound's owner. "Yoga studios are very community-oriented spaces, and I think having this art in my studio is nice so that people can ask questions ... Like yoga, creativity and art are great life enhancement tools.
The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce will get its own harp in June, and Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy will get one in August.
Children from the Carlsbad Boys & Girls Clubs (Carlsbad Village and Bressi Ranch branches) will also have a chance to learn and create music with beginner-friendly harps during special sessions with harp teachers throughout the months of March and April. The lessons will culminate in performances for seniors at local retirement communities.
The "Harps In the City" program is funded in part by a grant made possible by The Carlsbad Charitable Foundation, an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation.
Admission and ticket prices for "The Harp: A Global Story of Man, Music, and Medicine," as well as the harp concert series, and more information on the "Harps In The City" program, visit the museum's website at www.museumofmakingmusic.org or call 760-438-5996.
Did you Know?
The harp is one of the earliest instruments in the history of humankind. The first harp was likely a hunter's bow.
For centuries, the Alur people of Uganda played traditional instruments like the adungu, or bow harp. Music was the medium for dealing with violations of village taboos and addressing social ills, such as telling the fishmonger his catch was stinking up the village.
King Henry VIII adopted the harp symbol on Irish coins. To the consternation of the Irish, however, it was set under a crown, a symbol of English rule.
The harp has been interpreted as a heavenly motif for centuries. Harps, and angels plucking harps are evoked in paintings, manuscripts, and stained-glass windows from Medieval Europe.
Marie Antoinette was a harpist. So was the Bible's King David. So were Benjamin Franklin and Harpo Marx.
When the Spanish conquistadores came to South America in the 16th and 17th centuries, they brought along their harps. Today it is the national instrument of Paraguay and beloved in all of Latin America.
Ancient mystics in Mesopotamia in 2700 BC played the harp at births, funerals, lunar eclipses and sacrificial rituals.
While many harps are elaborate, formidably heavy instruments, a recent influx of new learners has dictated the demand for a more practical model. Harps weighing no more than four pounds and in bright primary colors are manufactured to target a new crop of harpists -- eager school children, aging baby boomers, and harp therapists.
The harp is featured in the works of Lord Byron, Jane Austen, Thomas Moore, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Rubens, and Rembrandt.

— This is the script of CNBC's news report for China's CCTV on October 14, Monday.
Welcome to the CNBC Business Daily.
The stalemate continues in Washington, with 4 days to go before the U.S. reaches its debt limit.The focus has shifted from the House, to Senate leaders who met to try to avert a default.
[Soundbyte on tape by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid] I had a productive conversation with the Republican leader this afternoon. Our discussions were substantive, and we'll continue those discussions. I'm optimistic about the prospects for a positive conclusion to the issues before this country today.
Both the Senate and the House will be session Monday to work through the Columbus day holiday. Yet sticking points remains on spending levels and the amount of a debt limit extension. And the deadlock has global leaders worried.
The World Bank president says the U.S. is "days away from a very dangerous moment" that would be disastrous for the both the developing and developed economies.
And IMF head Christine Lagarde, speaking to NBC's Meet the Press, warned of dire consequences.
[Soundbyte on tape by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde] If there is that degree of disruption, that lack of certainty, that lack of trust in the U.S. signature, it would mean massive disruption the world over. And we would be at risk of tipping, yet again, into recession.
So we will see a deal get done before Thursday's deadline? Here are some views from our analysts:
[Soundbyte on tape by George Bourbouras, CIO, Equity Trustees] As with all politicians, they always use colourful language. At the end of the day, they will do the right thing because politicians in a democracies act on self interest, and that's why they'll do it. We've been here before. They did a deal going into the new year, they've done it before and that's the reality. It's unfortunate, but the IMF and all their peers globally, are putting the right pressure on the US, until they can work out some outcome that can create some certainty for markets to move forward.
[Soundbyte on tape by David Degaris, Director & Senior Economist, NAB Global Markets Research] What we've heard over the weekend is that maybe they're putting together a deal to put together a committee to look at long term budget outlook and the debt ceiling and how that might be addressed, and report back in January, which would see the debt ceiling extended through that time period. Hopefully we'll see something on that score or some other deal announced in the next 2-3 days I suspect.
[Soundbyte on tape by Lorraine Tan, Director of Equity Research, S&P Capital IQ] Obviously it buys time in turns of putting a bit more risk back into everyone's appetite. The only thing is that you're going to get more cautious comments in terms of corporate guidance in the upcoming earnings season because of that uncertainty, and that's going to cap confidence anyway. 101157 FLASH 101252 To some extent, because of what's going on with the debt ceiling, that's really taken a lot of the focus away from the underlying earnings story right now.
[Soundbyte on tape by Michael McCarthy, Chief Market Strategist, CMC Markets] The worst part of this for markets is that this is a purely manufactured crisis. This is not unfolding events, this is not a lack of action, this is not addressing structural issues. This is purely manufactured by the politics of the situation, and the frustration of investors is enormous and it's directly hitting US credibility.
Li Sixuan from CNBC's Singapore headquarters.

Globally reputed developer of Leapfrog 3D geological modelling software, Aranz Geo has opened an office in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for sales and support.
Having observed a 50% increase in license uptake in the Brazilian market over the past year, ARANZ Geo decided to open an office to support their fast growing user base in the region.
Shaun Maloney, ARANZ Geo's CEO says that Brazil boasts a rich variety of mineral deposits and has a modern mining industry eager to embrace technological advances. The top down workflow approach of Leapfrog Geo is ideal for handling large amounts of data, developing multiple models and further reducing risk in both operating mines and exploration.
Leapfrog Geo's workflow solution allows users to rapidly construct multiple geological models that consider multiple hypotheses, tested against multiple futures for more realistic, sophisticated and robust evaluation.
Leapfrog Brazil will offer Leapfrog Fundamentals training, 30-day evaluation licenses, email and phone support, and project assistance. Provided by qualified and experienced geologists, project assistance will deliver expert collaboration on modelling projects to further fast track progress.
Experienced mining geologist Ignacio Torresi has been appointed as Brazil Country Manager. Customers can therefore, contact a local Leapfrog expert who speaks their language, lives in their time zone and has an understanding of local conditions.
Torresi has worked as an Exploration, QAQC, Lead and Modelling Geologist in both Argentina and Brazil. He will be joined in the office by new appointments Daniela Ximenes, Commercial Manager and Marcelo Freitas, Project Geologist. Nick Fogarty continues as Latin American Regional Director.
Ximenes, a lawyer with an MBA in Business Administration (Ibmec MG) and an MBA in Corporate Finance (FGV), is responsible for managing ARANZ Geo key accounts in Latin America.
Marcelo Freitas, a graduate from UFMG with a Bachelor of Science, will offer expert project assistance and Leapfrog support.
ARANZ Geo has grown steadily since Leapfrog was first introduced to the mining industry in 2004. The company's strategy is to offer localised expert support for hands-on help and assistance where it's needed.
ARANZ Geo now has sales and support offices in Brazil and Australia, as well as Leapfrog distributor offices in South Africa, Denmark, Canada, Chile and Peru. The R&D and head office is based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Fox has picked up the Christian Slater comedy Breaking In for midseason, Deadline reports.
The network has ordered seven episodes of the single-camera workplace comedy, which is set at a digital security firm.
Check out photos of Christian Slater
No airdate has been set, but reports say Breaking In may take the place of underperforming Running Wilde. The Will Arnett-led sitcom has yet to be picked up for a full season and was pulled off the schedule for the entire month of sweeps.
The pilot for Breaking In was written by Fanboys scribe Adam F. Goldberg and directed by Seth Gordon (Four Christmases). The show also stars Reaper alum Bret Harrison.
This is Slater's third series in three years, following NBC's My Own Worst Enemy and ABC's The Forgotten.

The Congressional campaign of 2006 slouches toward election day through a grotesque landscape of torture and excuses for torture, scabrous messages from a Congressman to young boys, a Congressional cover-up of the same, murder and countermurder every day in Iraq (a heart-stopping 655,000 Iraqis have died since the invasion, according to a Johns Hopkins study), and nuclear fallout from North Korea (of the political if not the literal kind).
The stakes, as President Bush likes to say–and on this point he is correct–could scarcely be higher. But they include one stake he never mentions: the future of constitutional government in the United States, which his presidency and his party have put in serious jeopardy. The old (lower case) republican system of checks and balances and popular liberties, you might say, is in danger of replacement by a new (upper case) Republican system of arbitrary one-party rule organized around an all-powerful presidency. That many-sided danger, of course, is the subject of this series of articles. It is simply impossible to know in advance when, in a great constitutional crisis, the decisive turning point–the irrevocable capsizing–might come. We are left wondering whether we are witnessing just one more swing of the familiar old American political "pendulum," bound by its own weight to swing back in the opposite direction, or whether this time the pendulum is about to fly off its hinge and land us with a crash in territory that we have never visited before. There are strong arguments on both sides of the question. Yet there can be little doubt that the election on November 7 will be an event of the first importance in the story. If, by handing one or both houses of Congress to the Democrats–something that current polls say is likely–the public breaks the Republican Party's current monopoly on government power, an important beachhead of resistance will have been gained. But if the public assents to the status quo–confirming and deepening the ratification of Republican one-party rule already conferred in 2002 and 2004 (we cannot count the election of 2000, since Vice President Al Gore won the popular vote that year), it will be hard to see where the path away from the precipice lies.
As the decision has neared, every important institution of the republican system–the Supreme Court, the presidency, the Congress, the press–has been swept into the crisis. Also critical is the President's bid to achieve global military dominance by the United States, presented to the public as a kind of colossal footnote to the war on terror. The interplay, enacted on the electoral stage, between the attempt at dominance abroad and one-party rule at home is probably the most important specific mechanism of the crisis. Its evolution so far has had many surprising twists, turns, sudden spurts forward and reversals; and some recent events, though each perhaps familiar in itself, reveal a striking new pattern. Of special note is a remarkable yearlong, step-by-step process of trial and error in which the Administration, far from concealing its abuses of power, including the torture of prisoners, wound up giving them top billing in its electoral strategy.

This past weekend/week I had the luxury of getting to stay at the Bacara Resort and Spa for my dads work. I was surprised late Tuesday afternoon and was told to drive there immediately after my lacrosse game! I was very excited!
The Bacara is a beautiful resort located right along the coast line up in Goleta! Isolated and full of beautiful scenery this is an amazing natural hotel! When we first got there we pulled our car up to the valet and had it parked for us while we checked in. Up front were all the super nice expensive cars so it was fun to take a look at while I waited for our room! The lobby is beautiful full of amazing natural center pieces, fresh fruit (free to take), and wonderful service I can guarantee that your stay here will start off strong!!!
After checking in we headed to our room, located right on the water we could literally see the waves crash from the balcony! Our room was very nice and spacious! With the help of two roll away's and a blow up mattress we brought from home we managed to fit all five members of my family including our dog Beesely into the room.
After getting a lay of the land we headed off to the pool/spa!!!! Ahhh with 2 AP tests coming up this is a great place to relax and relive stress, whether your on a honeymoon or just a break from school!!! The pool is HUGE, there are actually 2 of them as well as 2 hot tubs located near there respective pools. With cabanas to purchase you could set up in your own private little area and just enjoy a nice hot day by the pool!!! That's exactly what I planned to do:) As well as the pool though the beach is located only a few feet away!!! So you can even take a dip in both if you like, just beware of the tar!!!(There's a lot)
As well as fun things to do like swim in the pool, there are also a number of great places to eat!!! At the Bacara everything is about atmosphere and when it comes to restaurants the Bacara knows its stuff!!!
Overall, this hotel is absolutely jaw dropping beautiful!!! I promise you that if you stay here you will enjoy yourself and company as well as the amazing landscape, pool and restaurants!!! Hands down if you want a great place to stay this is the one!

TEDxEmeraldGlenPark 2018 Tickets
Our theme for this year's event is "Future." What do you visualize when you think of the future? You may think of scientific and technological marvels, or you may think of the high hopes you hold for your children. You may even think of everyone who came before you, supporting you on your journey to your own future. "Future" means something different to each of us, and we can learn so much about each other as we consider the future together. At TEDxEmeraldGlenPark, we will explore the meaning of "future" from diverse perspectives. We are looking to bring leaders and community members together in an exciting, inspiring forum.
What is TED?
TED is an annual event where some of the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about.
"TED" stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline.
TED is a global foundation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Attendees have called it "the ultimate brain spa" and "a four-day journey into the future." The diverse audience — CEOs, scientists, creatives, philanthropists — is almost as extraordinary as the speakers, who have included Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Sir Richard.
What is TEDx?
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, Ideas Worth Spreading. The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.
At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos — or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos – spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

Norman Pattis and PodCastOne at the Forefront of Podcast Development
On 9th February 2017, Norman Pattiz, the executive chairman of the PodcastOne and Tom Webster, the Edison Research's VP of strategy jointly released the findings of studies. The study involved five major consumer products in five different categories. This study was done in the second half of 2016.
The study was done in two stages, pre and post campaign. Podcast advertisement was shown to have an overall positive effect on various aspects of a product. Here are the key findings.
– The number of listeners who indicated a certain grocery brand increase from 7% in the pre-study to over 60% afterward.
– There was a rise in the unaided product knowledge in the two periods. The awareness of financial services product increased by 47%, automobile aftermarket product by 37%, and lawn and garden product by 24%.
– The number of respondents with a "very favorable" attitude on a car aftermarket product, increased from 18% in pre-study to over a third afterward. Those "very likely" to use a lawn and garden product increased from 16% in the pre-study to 22% post-study.
– There was a 60% increase in the level of knowledge of some campaign messages related to automobile aftermarket product after the campaign.
Edison Research carried out the survey in three different investigations in 2016 to find out the success of the podcast advertisement for the given national brands. Online surveys were conducted and the same methodology used before and after the campaign. Each company carried out advertisement between four and six weeks.
The researcher found that podcast audiences responded to the company's messages. There was a significant increase in the willingness of the respondents to consider and /or buy those products.
Norman Pattiz said the results were an indicator of the company's commitment to helping in selling other brands through advertisement. Tom Webster said he was happy that they were able to show the effectiveness of podcast ads.

This letter is long overdue, and while I've been piecing millions of words together in my head since the day we met, I still don't think these words I've chosen will ever get my point across, but I owe it to you to make an effort. Yes, I owe you; more than you realize, but perhaps this letter will put it in perspective. To show you how you've affected my present and future, I suppose I should start with the past and work my way up. Grab a coffee and get comfortable; this could be a bit of a read. I know you always listen to my ramblings about everything and nothing, and I love you for that, but this time I honestly and truly have something to say. This is me pouring my heart out in the only form I know how, and laying my cards on the table; even the ones you may not have been aware were even part of the deck.
You know I was not new to love when we first met. As you know, I was dating someone when we met officially, but my relationship was not a happy one. Before I'd met him, I'd found myself at a crossroads in my life. I had my heart broken one too many times and no longer knew how I felt about anything. I was so used to pretending to be okay, and had become accustomed to convincing the world that I would always be 'just fine.' It had gotten so bad that I was stuck in this strange region between numbness and crippling sadness that seemed to follow me like a bad dream everywhere I went. I found myself living less, and trying to simulate what I thought life was supposed to be. The world I had seen ten years ago in vivid colour-vision had grown less and less so throughout the years. At this point, I couldn't see much colour anymore.
Then I saw you.
I know the moment was different for you; in fact, I know this moment is insignificant to you because neither of us really knew what would happen between us.
I remember looking up at you and into your eyes for the first time and seeing a burst of light that I hadn't seen since I still believed in love. No man I had met, no person I'd fallen for had ever hit me like this. Naturally, at first I wasn't sure how to take it. After being numb for so long, it felt as though I'd forgotten how to breathe, but someone had breathed life into my lungs again. From that day on, I couldn't get you out of my head. I tried to push away what I felt out of fear, but somehow I always knew I wouldn't be able to suppress how I felt.
That all felt so long ago. Ages, almost. Despite how long we've been together, what we've been through, and what we've seen, we're still here stronger than I ever thought we could be. There are still little habits I can't shake that I had when our relationship was fresh and new; feeling a sense of warmth and a swell of pride when I see your eyes light up as you talk about your passions, waking up in the morning to hear you snoring away and loving that start to my day, sneaking glances of admiration from the passenger's seat, and revelling at how perfectly your hand fits around mine.
I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward you for more than just the amazing dates you've taken us out on, the situations you've seen me through (even when I was being an insufferable cow), and the memories we've made. I mean this in the most literal sense; you saved my life simply by being yourself. Frankly , you may as well have stopped a bullet aimed directly at my chest.
I, without a shadow of doubt, owe you my life.
At first, I was concerned that I was living solely for you; that you have become my identity, which I knew would be just as toxic as gargling battery acid. As I continued along my life, I realized something; you become my second chance at life. You were once my only reason to hang on. But somewhere along the way, I found myself, too. I found my passions, my confidence, and I found myself capable of being emotionally independent when the need arose, which I found only solidified my love and admiration for you tenfold. I realized you were not only my love, you had become my best friend, my partner-in-crime, my mentor, my guiding light, and in a word, my home. It was then I realized that my home wasn't where I grew up, or the roof over my head; my home was, and still is you. Simply you.
This necklace of yours you've had me hold on to all this time is the only one I ever wear, and I wear it each and every day. I'm not religious, but every day as I place it around my neck, I close my eyes and wish for everything you deserve and more; all the success and good fortune, the courage to keep fighting through every hardship you are forced to face, and the hope that you will never doubt how much you are loved and appreciated. You are always fresh in my mind, no matter my situation, and when all is said and done, when the day is over and it's time for my home to return, I will be there waiting with open arms, a better and stronger woman than before.
So, to conclude this letter and end my tendency to babble, I just want to say this:
Thank you for being my everything. Thank you for being my home, my love, my friend, and my hero. I will forever owe you this life, and every life I live until time ceases to flow. Even then, I will always find a way. I love you to the moon and back.
Yours, forever and always,

Given the finite size of the markets they are expanding into (Europe and North America f0r the most part), even if they outsourced every single developed world tech job, that would not sustain the double digit growth they have been enjoying up until now. The best cost savings you can hope for by offshoring is about 30%, when you consider the total cost of ownership (communication and management overhead etc). Wage arbitrage can be very mis-leading in this regard. This issue is compounded by the fact that wage levels in India are rising fast. Finally it's hard to find really good software engineers anywhere in the world and India is no exception. The really good ones don't come cheap, but the value they deliver offsets the higher costs many times over.
So goes the world, so goes India. The economy continues to suffer and the destination hot spot will eventually come to an end. India will lose its appeal as a destination, as another new hot spot will take its place. This is nothing new. The same thing happened to Dubai a few years ago, and not even the "Sex and the City" movie could change that.
We need to find ways to put pressure on behemoth corporations that choose to offshore jobs. The fact is that if we produce nothing and do not perform administrative tasks domestically, there will continue to be negative job growth. The problem is that large corporations face no repercussions for conducting business unethically.
Really my opinion on this question all comes down to semantics. Since I believe that everything must end, and since "red hot" trends are by their nature always short-lived, I therefore obviously believe that India's status as an offshoring destination will also slow down eventually and ultimately come to an end.
India is currently attractive for outsourcing, as it has relatively low wages and operating costs. As India continues to develop economically, however, wages and costs will rise. This will make India less of a destination for outsourcing and businesses, and corporations will most likely move to a less developed country for their cheap labor needs.
Because there are only so many people in India, and because the high demand for off-shoring has increased over the years, it only makes sense that the use of this country for these needs will slow down and end. As more and more job opportunities come to India, the population will be able to pick and choose which are better, causing a price war which is no different than any other country.
India has a billion-person workforce that is fluent in English and willing to work almost any job, at any price (often with a fair amount of quality). Especially in this poor economy, where companies are trying to maximize and maintain profit, India will continue to be a hot place to offshore employment.
India's status as a hot spot in the business world is due to cheaper wages. This is the reason why American jobs have been transferred there. But, as with any country that sees an explosion in business, eventually the citizens of India will want more pay, benefits, and retirement. This will effectively end its status as an alternate location for job placement. That's the way capitalism works. It always has, and always will. China is a prime example of a country starting towards the downward slide of that scenario.
Many Americans are upset about jobs being outsourced to developing countries, even though they enjoy the cheap products that they could not have without this practice. As they put more pressure on companies to keep jobs in the US, it may start to outweigh the cost advantage of production elsewhere. That cost advantage is also going to decrease, as Indian workers get used to a better standard of living, and eventually begin to demand higher pay and benefits.
India has a large high skilled labour workforce. Indians are habituated to working hard and adding new skills to their skill-set unlike some developed countries where they feel entitled to jobs, free training etc..
This basic difference in culture, attitude makes India and countries like her a favorable destination.
With time, it may slow down since wages in India may also rise drastically if not very comparable to US wages.
There are millions of educated, English-speaking people in India who are able and willing to take jobs that were traditionally American. The cost of living is considerably lower in India, and qualified people are happy to take jobs at a lower wage, more than equivalent people do in the States. I do not think that our standards will lower and theirs will raise significantly in the near future.
India is the biggest democratic population in the world, thus making it friendly to the west, unlike China which the west sees as a threat. India has a very young population. So long as the west finds someone to do things for cheap, there will be growth for India. So long as no one sees India as a threat, then it will have a peaceful place with the world powers.
Businesses are designed for profit. In order to be profitable, a business must be as efficient as possible. India has a technically-skilled work force with a strong background in math and science. Indian people can provide expertise to overseas businesses. In addition, Indian people are likely to speak English, a language of trade. Indian people are also less expensive, due to a favorable exchange rate and differences in wages.
I believe that India will continue to be a place that needs jobs and as such will continue to offer cheap labor alternatives. The cost of employing U.S. workers makes India a cheaper option for some types of manufacturing. The population of India will continue this trend into the future and so will the cost of hiring and building in America.
First, there is the fact that India has been engaged in business for many years and the amount of experienced people who are able to do the work well has only increased. Other countries still have an experience gap which is difficult for them to close.
India also has an IT infrastructure which is better than in most other countries and this means that the speed and quality of the work Indians do is going to be better than that found in other developing nations which are presently used for off-shore calls, etc.
Then you also have the fact that the majority of Indians have had to learn English which is still one of the most popular languages in the world and that their school system is very rigorous and demanding... And the Government of India is doing its best to encourage more technical education which will only increase India's ability to meet the needs of its off shore business employers.
I don't think off-shoring to India is going to slow down any time soon. People there will work for far less than people here, and even people here who work sites like Mechanical Turk are getting their 'jobs' taken by workers in India. As long as people will undercut the wages of the US workers, greed will prevail and the jobs will go there.

The on-line commercial for Panoramic View's ocean front residences in Montauk, N.Y., promises concierge service, porters and breath-taking views from every room.
The prices for the "luxury townhouses on the ocean" vary from $1.8 million for a one bedroom, Salt Sea villa to $6.5 million for a five-bedroom hilltop house. Brian R. Callahan and his brother-in-law Adam J. Manson are the men behind the Panoramic property, which includes five buildings with 117 units and three beach front cottages on 10 acres that they purchased in 2007 for a reported $38 million.
But prosecutors are now alleging that when the Panoramic property started to lose money, Callahan devised a plan to keep it alive by orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme—dumping millions of his "client's" money into the Montauk property, without their knowledge or consent.
